Sushi and Asian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale: SE 17th Street

Last checked Oct. 9, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

The biggest cluster of Asian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale is on SE 17th Street, between Federal Highway and the port, where three of the places on this list sit within a few blocks. The others are on South Federal Highway, on Las Olas Boulevard on the New River, downtown on North Federal Highway and in the Gateway Shopping Center on East Sunrise Boulevard.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside the Fort Lauderdale city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 9, 2026. OpenStreetMap had more than two dozen Asian candidates, but many had no website, or a website that no longer worked or now belongs to someone else. We kept only places whose own site showed a Fort Lauderdale address and was working when we checked. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it.
