About Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse

UKIAH Japanese Smokehouse is a unique concept created as a collaboration between a group of friends. James Beard Nominated Chef Michael Lewis, Steven Haigh and Lizzy Maynes joined forces with seasoned restaurateur Michael Sponaugle to create a neighborhood restaurant serving Japanese soul food mixed with American BBQ.

Located at 221 SW 1st Ave Ste 1, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301, Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse operates as a pan-asian restaurant serving Fort Lauderdale in Florida. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as asian fusion restaurant, barbecue restaurant, brunch restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. Typical hours are 12–11 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

Such a beautiful brunch experience! The waterfront views were absolutely gorgeous and made the whole atmosphere feel so relaxing and special. The brunch menu had so many great options, and everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks were definitely a highlight — we had the Lemon Drop Martinis and Espresso Martinis, and both were amazing! 🍸☕️ The service was great, the atmosphere was beautiful, and it’s the perfect spot for a brunch date, girls’ day, or even a cute date night. After brunch, we took a walk along the boardwalk and even came across the cutest love lock area nearby, which was such a fun way to end our date. If you’re in Fort Lauderdale and looking for a waterfront brunch spot with great food, drinks, and views, I definitely recommend checking this place out. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back! ⭐️

Been meaning to try Ukiah since they've opened. We got seated right away just a few hours before closing. Cozy spot right off the intercoastal, nearby parking in the garage. Serving delicious tapas style plates besides the land & sea/smokehouse entrees. If you don't mind the pricepoint for smaller dishes or just amazing japanese food in general you will love it. The gentleman server dark hair, working Sunday evening was very sweet and attentive, he was checking up on us throughout, and really made us feel welcome. Not only will I want to return for the delicious food and to try larger tasting, but warm service will always be a huge W.

We had a phenomenal dining experience Saturday night. It was our first time here and we decided to do the Chef Tasting Menu. What a great way to get an ample variety of the menu. We also had all three non-alcoholic mocktails and the lemon drop. Our server, Julien, and those bussing/servicing the table had great timing and were all attentive. The flow of service and delivery of each item was perfect. The price point is well worth the quality of menu items and service. Ukiah has made it on the list of our favorite locations in Ft. Lauderdale.

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!
