    Takato never disappoints. Food and staff were amazing. We had lamb chops,sea bass, kimchi fried rice, shrimp fried rice, California roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail sashimi, machine, chocolate lava cake, specialty martini, cosmo, and a spicy margarita. Everything was amazing. The only bad part is this place seems to attract screaming kids with entitled parents with no regard and don't do anything. Not that the restaurant can help that but it is frustrating and definitely has an effect on the ambiance. Regardless, this is definitely one of the top restaurants in Ft. Lauderdale with amazing sushi and so much more.

    The food and service is always exceptional at Chima. We've been to other Brazilian steakhouses and we always wish we had gone to Chima instead!Our latest visit we were there for Christmas Eve. It was busy, as expected, the food and service were still great. Our only complaint was that the room temperature was extremely cold, we hurried to get out, and put the seat heaters on in the car.
