Last night I had the pleasure of eating at Origami the sushi Bar. The comments were right they truly have the best sushi in The city and according to my tongues ratings the best in general! Origami’s location is ideal for any one whether you want quite Relaxing and romantic setting or an energetic and fun evening. On one side of this eatery is a calmly lit garden with candle light with a brick pathway leading to little boutiques and free parking. On the other side of Origami is the spicy lively, main party street of Key West Duval. At Origami you can either sit indoors in the a/c at table or at the sushi bar and watch sushi be prepared, or outdoors with white table cloths surrounded by a candle lit garden with the breeze of silent fans and/or misters. Origami being a Japanese restaurant has authentic décor al the way from Japan ranging from the Maneki Neko that greets you at the door (a cat that is said to bring good luck) to the Japanese wood that the sushi bar is made from. Also from Japan are some of the staff members waitress and hostess. Their very laid back and can read the situation of the reason your there for instance if your there for a birthday party they can be fun and entertaining with their Japanese birthday song that they sing for you! , but if you’re their for business or a romantic date they can tone their professional level up a notch. The staff members are all ways an attentive their work it you say no onions there will be no onions. The last and maybe the most important edition to the staff is Kyoto (also from Japan), the head sushi chef he’ll always make sure your having an incredible and enjoyable time. Alright now for the best part… The sushi. Origami is famous for having the best sushi from marathon to Key West. It’s true I’ve confirmed it myself by tasting sushi and other Japanese food from marathon to Key West. Origami’s secrete if fresh food that’s all you really need for good sushi are fresh fish and ingredients, and not to much of any ingredient. For instance their famous Key West Roll which white sticky rice rolled sweet Japanese smelt-roe, on the inside of the rice is nigri, (seaweed) wrapped around cream chesses, asparagus, and fired dolphin this roll is good for people who don’t care for raw fish and are new to sushi. At origami you don’t have to have sushi there’s also sashimi, conch, soup and even chicken! They really have something for everyone including a kids menu. I highly recommend to anyone who loves: great services, a wonderful atmosphere, delicious high quality food and isn’t afraid to try something new, Origami the best sushi bar in the Keys!

This wonderful place provides some lovely sushi. Finding it is a difficult, as it

super sushi and service. kioto, chief and owner is behind the bar ever night and explains what and how he makes sushi. a true local experience with a few tourists thrown in, sunday night is the best time as it is a tad slow. enjoy.

I did not like the service they gave us. The location of the place was great but the place was crowded and I did not enjoy much. The food was okay.

Whenever we visit Key West, we make a point of going at least once (usually twice a week) to Origami's. The chef's specials are wonderful - the usuzukuri is addicting . The fish is always fresh, the service friendly and timely, the sushi chefs are friendly and enjoy talking with the customers, there is a good selection of sakes, and you don't have to dress up to get good service. Dining inside at the sushi bar or at the tables, or outside under the trees and stars at tables around the brick piazza. Kuma and Kiyoto (owners) are wonderfully friendly and like to introduce frequent customers to special treats. This is one of our all-time favorite sushi restaurants anywhere, and well worth the trip.

The sushi was tremendous, especially the conch and the mackeral. They were quite busy the night we were there but the service was very prompt and the food was great.
