Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse

What an amazing foodie experience!! A top 10 without question. Went with the tasting menu and OMG every course was simply amazing! The baked potatoe is unearthly. Paired with a bottle of Chenin Blanc each plate delivered on taste, creativity and presentation. Julian was great, every bit as knowledgeable and friendly. Really top notch service. Highly recommend you try the restaurant now before the word gets out and it becomes impossible to book. 5Foodies all the way!

Our experience at Ukiah started off a bit subpar, but after expressing our concerns to the manager, Francisco, everything completely turned around. Francisco personally stepped in, and with the help of our new waitress Joia and her assistant Danny, the service and overall experience became excellent. The food was truly amazing. The chicken on the chicken and waffles was perfectly juicy, the buffalo shrimp was packed with flavor, and the prawn was a great size and cooked just right. I could honestly go on and on. The drinks were also delicious — and if you’re a martini drinker like me, you’ll love that they have blue cheese–stuffed olives. Despite the rocky start, the team genuinely listened and made things right, which says a lot. I highly recommend giving Ukiah a visit, and definitely a

We came for date night on saturday 3/7 and did the tasting menu.... SOOO Delicious! For $95 per person you literally try 9-10 dishes. Totally worth the price (as we were sooo full leaving) and the food was outstanding! I was only not too fond of the bao bun with the soft shell crab, but everything else was delicious and our server was fantastic. The Crispy Rice might be the best I have ever had- so crisp outside and fluffy inside, absolutely delicious. The coconut cake was so fabulous! Amazing spot for date night, will return and recommend to friends.

There were 8 of us dining at Ukiah for the first time. First of all the service staff were super excellent and went over and beyond to give us a pleasant experience. We had chef’s special which was a series of surprise dishes. This is a good option for big groups like us. The drinks were well balanced and generous. I recommend Ukiah.

On a recommendation we visited Ukiah for brunch, located on the riverfront in Fort Lauderdale. It's a balance between Japanese street food & Southern comfort BBQ, complete with matching vibe & menu. Craft cocktails were outstanding in quality & price as we enjoyed tableside smoked old fashion, spritz, and Bloody Mary. Our party of 4 excitedly ordered a variety of unique shareables (description, photos & captions below), packed with all the taste profiles: sweet, savory, heat, spice, umami. It was a great experience, transporting us to the staycation feels by the warm hospitality provided by Cara, creative dishes, covered waterfront patio and subtle DJ entertainment. We're definitely returning for dinner to sample the smoked brisket & smoked pastrami short rib. Until then, Cheers 🍹 *Karaa
