    not even close to the way it used to be. had the lamb shank, when i told the waiter it was dry he said sorry and walked away. my bill before tax was $28 with a 30 living social voucher. they brought a check for $1.68 for the tax. i put down a 20 and went to the rest room. when i got back my change was $18. if you want to round off a bill favor the customer.

    We went to Dapur for my friends birthday and I have to say I was not impressed at all. First off they only do valet parking. It's definitely not in a location that would require valet making it just plain dumb. Let me park where I want to park especially if you are in a shopping center. Second the prices were ridiculous. The portions were small and not very tasty, I would have to say the best thing I had was the crab roll that my friend ordered. I ordered the pad thai and it wasn't all that flavorful. The positives I would say is that the place is a cool environment and our server was good. Not great, but good. I don't think I am going back any time soon for expensive mediocre food.

    Terribly mediocre and unoriginal. I don't understand why they opened such a big place with dramatic space, and such a boring menu. For lack of anything that stood out on the menu, we ordered Pad Thai, and Chicken Fried Rice. .... zzzzz.... It was lame. I didn't bother to finish my Pad Thai, and I usually eat everything, or at least take it home. The waiter came over and asked me if I was done. I asked if the food had MSG in it. He protested oh no! He then should have asked me if I didn't like my dish, or if there was something he could do. He didn't ask though. He just put it in a to-go box, without even asking if I wanted to take it home. The best thing about this place was the giant gold buddha. Poke your head in to take a look, and check out the decor around the bar, then go get your food somewhere else. Very disappointing.

    So we've been living in Southern Florida for ten months now, and with so many restaurants to choose from -- and 20 lbs. to prove it! -- Dapur is one that we keep meaning to hit, but, for one reason or another, keep passing by. A couple of good friends of our's have mentioned this as one of their faves, so, alas, we finally gave-in and made a jaunt to this Asian tapas bar/restaurant. Once entered, the friendly hostess gave us some table choices (which we then chose) and handed us our food and beverage menus. The cavern-like interior leans on the masculine side, with dark colors, dark ceramic, textured floor tiles, and an overall industrial-look. Although the lighting was on the dark-side, we had absolutely no problem reading our menus. The whole vibe reminded me of a nightclub/disco. After taking our seats, it turned out that the table was seriously lopsided, so we sat ourselves at a smaller empty table nearby. (It was funny because after mentioning this to one of the staff -- the lopsided table -- thinking they'd take care of adjusting it, nothing was ever done about it. Fortunately, it wasn't very busy, so it remained empty for the rest of our dinner.) Not being familiar with Dapur's food, we decided to take the tapas route and simply order a few small dishes, along with a main entree, to share. To start, I asked if they served hot green tea, to which our waiter said no; however, he rattled off a few other kinds of tea, including a Ginger tea which we ordered. To our surprise, when he returned with our hot teas, it was simply Stash-brand bagged tea -- one bag each -- along with medium-hot (not steeping hot) water. (I'm not a snob, but for $3 a cup, you'd think he'd've told me that they served bagged tea. One bag each. That's it. Nonetheless, he brought us a second serving of (again) medium-hot water, for which we simply had to reuse our old, diluted tea bags. Egads!) We ordered -- everything all at once -- and left it to the waiter to decide on how he wanted to bring it out (all at once, or piecemeal). We ordered the Korean short ribs ($10 -- in Hawaii, we called it "Galbi," with the "g" pronounced like a "k"), the grilled calamari ($12), the Wakame (seaweed) salad ($5), and (as the entree) the Pangsit noodle dish ($15 -- which I mistook, for some crazy, unknown reason as the Filipino dish, "pancit" -- one of my favorite dishes as a child in Hawaii). Anyway, the orders went in, and within what seemed like only several minutes, the Korean short ribs arrived. It was beautifully presented; however, upon closer inspection, we were more than a bit taken aback at how meager the four pieces of so-called short ribs were in size! Each piece was (I swear!) no larger than a silver dollar -- maybe, barely! -- with a good 40% of it being the bone! (I had to laugh because if this were Korea, an appetizer, er, "small dish," this size would've been scandalous!) Being that the elongated dish that it was served on was merely a decoy of sauce to give this meal a visually large scale was quite the amusement, indeed...! That said, the sauce was quite delicious, although the pieces of short ribs were on the chewy side. (Obviously, this breaks down to $2.50 per silver dollar-sized rib (with bone). It barely tickled our bellies. Bloop!) After that, everything came in swift succession. Next was the grilled calamari.... A full-sized squid, grilled and cut-up in bite-sized pieces. Straightforward and totally flavorful in the simplest of primitive ways. Like it was just caught, grilled over a charcoal fire, and sliced for eating. Very fine and worth it's price. (It also came with two small dollops of a mildly spicy mayonnaise for dipping.) The Wakame salad was very underwhelming, as it was simply the kind of fluorescent green seaweed that you'd buy at any Publix grocery store. It was, however, jazzed-up with some thin-sliced cucumbers, and piled into a mound to give it some girth. (Hey, for $5, what can you expect, eh...? I suppose I was dreaming about the pink seaweed salad I used to have at Sakura Japanese restaurant in San Francisco.... Oh, my, that was devine...!) Finally came the Pangsit, which, at the very least, was a meal-sized portion. It was really quite tasty, with fine savory flavors. The only negative aspect was that the dish was served with its shrimps still bearing their shelled tails. In my opinion, it's simply laziness to not remove the shells. All-in-all, it was a decent, but underwhelming, meal. I really liked the decor. The wait staff was wholly professional and fast. The check even came with a breakdown of three tipping amounts (for "good," "very good," and "outstanding"), which we both found to be very amusing and made it easy to calculate...! (As a prologue: The next day I made mushroom and green onion steamed rice, with butter-grilled baby asparagus, and baked, Panko-breaded barramundi fillets. Now THIS was a meal to stay home for...!) :D

    ok let me start by saying that I lived with a Dutch Indonesian partner for 4 years and learned all the intricacies of Indonesian cooking & spices. I also traveled to Malaysia, Borneo, and Singapura to experience the food and flavors of SE Asia. Dapur captures the essence of this region with authentic dishes and unique presentations. This is our second visit and it keeps getting better. The eggplant, brussel sprouts, fried calamari with spicy sweet sour dip, and spider roll were more than adequate appetizers for 3 people (remember this is a TAPAS establishment) and were all extremely tasty. The Beef Rendang (picture Indonesian Pot Roast) and Lemon Grass Chicken (grilled, sliced, and sprizzled with Dapur brown sauce) rounded the sharing and were again very tasty and sufficient for 3 people (however next time I will follow waiter Tom's suggestion and have the Goreng instead). I can also recommend from previous dining that the Crispy Duck, Sea Bass, Chicken Satay, Lobster Roll, Passion Fruit Pie, and Chocolate Volcano are also worth trying and will not disappoint. If you are new to this type of menu, then by all means ASK YOUR WAITER - he knows what the chef is specializing in tonight (there are 3) and will want you to have a good experience. I must say, I asked Tom to select a dessert for us and he was spot on with the Crispy Sexy (Fried Cheese Cake with Green Tea Ice Cream) and next time we must try the Ginger Ice Cream. Oh yes, if you do not drink neat, than the house selection of wine is very adequate for those who fear previous admonitions of weak & watered down drinks but I doubt the veracity of previous admonitions. If subdued lighting is a problem, request a table with a spot light to better peruse the menu. The service was fast and timely, water constantly refilled without asking, plates cleared seamlessly and without delay, entrees followed immediately after apps and was fresh and hot. Dessert spoons and plates set out after table cleared and before dessert presentation. As for the fare -- about $133 for 3 with 4 glasses of wine including tip. I have seen far more overpriced tabs for more mediocre servings at other 'tourist traps' -- lets hope the tourist don't ruin the ambiance of Dapur with their limited dining knowledge and comments. If this still sounds too pricey, then drop in at Happy Hour until 8:00 to save on Tapas and drinks. I only wish they had Krupuk!!!

    The appetizer took forever to come. While I was waiting, all I heard was the cackling of the hostesses and the waiter trashing patrons, me included. I guess I didn't look like their normal clientele, you can read into that what you want. The beef redang was cold and the rice was mealy at best. I expected to find ice cubes in my beef redang. I will never go back there for any reason. It's terrible.

    Huge space, fun vibe. I completely didn't expect the inside when standing outside at valet. We dined there early on a Saturday night, but I'm sure it picks up later in the evening. Food was great. We loved the brussel sprouts, hot tower, tuna tartar with watermelon, and braised mushrooms. The menu is huge with lots of different flavor combinations. We'll definitely return.

    Beware the hype of a brand new restaurant opening. I know it's tempting to run out and be the first of your friends to try a new place. You want the bragging rights. You're known amongst your peers as someone who knows all the great places to dine around town. It's tempting....don't do it. Why? Because nine times out of ten, the restaurant is still finding it's stride and working out the kinks. That being said, I fell for it. I marched right out to dapur last night with a friend to give it a test drive. "It's the new Galanga...." they say. Now I am not a huge Galanga fan to start (more on that later) but I do love asian tapas and the friend who raved about it was enthusiastic. Let's start with the good. In order to be a good restaurant you must have great food. On this point, dapur delivers. We tried a number of different small plates and there wasn't a loser in the bunch. The korean bbq short ribs were great. I even picked them up to gnaw of every last bit of tasty rib meat. The rock shrimp roll and appetizer were awesome. The yellowtail appetizer was flaky, moist and delicious. I even liked the Bang Bang Scallops served over brussel sprout leaves. And I HATE brussel sprouts. The ceviche was presented in perfection. Loved it all. The decor is well done. Save for a red booth on a purple/maroon wall. It just looked like a strange color choice considering the rest of the establishment. Great water feature outside. Funky chandeliers on the entrance. A massive gorgeous raw driftwood framed mirror when you walk in. It feels like a San Fran open air funky asian diner. There are even two rooms that have some nice partitions where I assume you can have a private event. The table service was great. Our server was awesome. He did the best he could with the situation at hand....and here is where it's wise to wait. Apparently they were short a bartender. On a Friday night. With a packed restaurant. He was upfront and told us the scoop. However at that point we should have known to steer clear of the fancy drink menu. 30 mins later we were regretting our error. Our poor server kept checking in with us and giving us an update but dinner on a Friday night without a cocktail makes dinner guests grumpy. Another 15 mins. Finally we tell him to bring us a bottle of wine, an opener and three glasses. Oh and PS our server was just adorable but not in the "young boy twinkie" way that they are at the "other" place. If dapur wants to attract the Galanga crowd, they are on the right track. BUT the main reason I won't go to Galanga is slow service. And I mean EPIC slow service. Like 1:45 to eat lunch epic service slow. if dapur wants a differentiation this is the biggest opportunity they have. Eliminate this issue and they will be big winners. And PS if worked last night I would be all up in the bartender who called off last nights business. Because, bitch, you better have been dying or run over by the Green Hopper to leave us short on a Friday night!!

    I've been to Dapur many times before and I will keep on going! The eclectic menu satisfies my hunger every time. The service is amazing. The manager was very kind and attentive. She would always come to our table to see how everything was. I never have a complaint. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good sushi roll, especially on Tuesdays with buy one get one sushi roll for free! If you are just looking to have a drink, the bar and lounge is awesome! The happy hour special is right in my pricee range! The bartenders make great drinks, my favorite being the dartsmoor. They make you feel at home and are great to have conversations with! Dapur is an overall great restaurant to have a great experience or night out

    We really admire this place and thought it was a great find on our first visit. So much so that we even took out of town guests and they really enjoyed it too. That's why I am severely disappointed with our visit today. We ordered the rock shrimp, a fav since our first visit, only to find a long hair in it. Unfortunately it made it to my mouth before I discovered it. I understand stuff happens but to not even get an apology from mgmt or even have that plate comped was unsatisfactory. For that reason alone we will not be patronizing this establishment any longer.

    I hate brusselsprouts but this place made a ridiculously awesome version as an appetizer. I was disappointed with the tangerine mojito but the gin and tonic was top-notch. Pad-thai was decent. Bathrooms were spotless but the entryway is awkwardly open to the bar. Overall not a bad spot. Worth a try for sure....

    Well, I had it in my head that I really wanted to have a drink and since parking is such an ease (they have free valet parking) and their happy hour is awesome (good music and delicious handicraft cocktails), I was not going to look any further than Dapur. The dining area is separate from the lounge, so we headed into the dinner area to grab some eats before having a couple of drinks. They do happy hour tapas but I like eating at a table and they only have bar style seating in the lounge. We weren't all that hungry so we ordered the Spicy Tuna Tartar, Royal Tuna Roll and Fried Rice (doesn't exactly complete a meal but my boyfriend really wanted it). The Spicy Tuna Tartar was so good. To sum it up it was spicy, flavorful and fresh. The crispy rice was crispy but not crunchy and I loved that. The tuna was just tasty. The Royal Tuna Roll was good also. It is made with Hamachi, tempura jalapeño and cilantro with tuna and wahoo on top. Again, the fish tasted fresh and the rice was perfectly cooked. There are no negatives or complaints; this just did not wow my taste buds. It was very light and I like my food strong and packed full of flavor. The fried rice was okay. It has a nice flavor (I would say it is similar to Thai fried rice). The rice was just a little too wet for me. After eating and while paying our tab, we start talking to our waiter. We tell him that we going to go to the bar to have a drink before we leave and he kindly gives us two free drink cards. We pay for our meal and head on over to the Lounge on the other side. I end up ordering 2 Tangerine Mojitos (I was going to have one but since we got one free I felt I had to have two) and my boyfriend (who refuses to try new things) had 2 Long Islands. A long island is a typical drink you can get anywhere but I have to say that Dapur makes some great drinks. Their specialty cocktails are even better. My Tangerine Mojitos were magnificent and frankly you can't say much more than that. So far so good! Until we meet again!

    Finally a place that rises above the stunning mediocrity of Ft Lauderdale restaurants. Our reservation was promptly acknowledged and we we're seated in the room with the big golden Buddha. We ordered a few small plates and split a main course. All were quite good and filling and reasonably priced. There is another room that looks more like a night club with music that spills over to the room we were in but not too loud for comfortable conversation. The service was efficient and friendly and way above what I have experienced in most restaurants in this town. We usually go to Miami, Boca, or Delray for a good restaurant experience. I'm glad Dapur is in my backyard and we will certainly be back. Richard and Linda

    Been here many times and love the food. This time we had a horrible experience I thought we were getting punked or something. Our food never arrived and we got 2 out of the 5 drinks we ordered. When we ask the bartender if he put our order in he say yes then comes back 20 minutes later an asks us what we ordered. We just left after waiting for an hour. Sorry but we are never coming back.

  • Umar G.

    Not impressed at all. The places tries too hard and is a fail. We had a bunch of tapas and the only one we liked was the spicy tuna roll. The jalepeno and the cilantro blended well with the creaminess of the tuna. Other than that, the other tapas were fair to poor. The Brussels Sprouts (a house specialty according to our too-anxious waiter) had a nice meaty flavor but were greasy, as was the tempura crab/vegetable melange. Tempura is supposed to be as light as air, crispy and never oily. This may have been crispy, but was dense and the oil was visibly seeping out. It seems as though the oil may not have been hot enough in both cases. We then had a "big plate" which was the crispy duck. Never in all my life have I been so disappointed with duck at an Asian (or Asian inspired in this case) establishment. The batter was thick and cruddy and the duck had a gamey taste... yuck! Asian duck is a joy in most places that specialize in it. The side of vegetables was bland, the spicy siracha accompaniment was a just red goop, though the rice was pretty good. Determined to give this place one last chance, we ordered the passion fruit cheesecake. It was cloyingly sweet and dense like a bad treacle pudding. Our waiter served the plate and returned with the spoons five minutes later; which gave us enough time to discover that the strawberry garnish was warm and pulpy soft ..eww. I didn't find the decor zen at all... more all over the place... rather than evoking fusion, or balance, the items in the room seemed to fight and vie for attention... not a good look in a restaurant. Overall, Dapur was a bland and disappointing experience. It seemed to promise much but then failed on most accounts. Not worth a second chance.

    Absolutely outstanding! The Service was exceptional and every dish was wonderful. We had a food-gasm for the hot tower and the spicy tuna tartar in particular. Their house sake was some of the best hot sake I've had. We were excited to try this place based on what we saw on the menu and it did not fail to deliver and truly impress us. It has great ambience and a great cocktail menu too! I highly recommend. Our server was Andrew and he was very professional and friendly and gave us superb service.

  • Kristin S.

    Nothing but good things to say. I'm a mostly vegetarian (I still eat fish) and I love this place. Their happy hour rocks (7 days a week from 5-8pm, except Thursdays it's ladies night and it goes until 10) -happy hour is only honored in the bar area (which could use some non high-top/couch seating and a table or two at regular height) It's a chic and trendy place with good food, both Thai and Japanese. The brussel spouts are yummilcous, as is the fried crab thing with peanut suace that I don't know the name of. Killer vegetarian rolls as well. The lychee martini is my favorite cocktail, and they always knock it out of the park. The service is very friendly and the food is great. What more could you ask for?

  • Nick A.

    All the food was really good and the setting is very nice to match, nice to the point where it almost throws you off that the place is right off of US1, they also have a decent DJ on the weekends. If you don't order an entree here then I guess it can be considered a tapas place. Tapas can be frustrating because it takes about 6 orders to get full, but once in a while its okay as long as the food is good and here it is, very good. The rock shrimp (covered in some really good sauce), calamari, scallops, chicken dumplings, and dark chocolate lava were all really good and it would be tough to go back and not order the same. Again you're not going to get very full not ordering an entree but the great flavor of each dish was more than enough to make me feel money was well spent. I'm a believer in do whatever makes you happy but it must be said that this is frequented by a more than a few gays, again I don't care but those that do need to be given a heads up. The bar area is nice and spacious with a nice TV and separate from a decent sized eating area, there's also a separate dance area next to it. Bartenders are very nice and the valet parking is free. It's not the best location in FTL but its one of the better options on US1 in the area and has some real quality food.

    This hidden gem is a MUST find...Have NEVER had a bad thing in here...The place has a very cool VIbe .I have taken SEVERAL business clients here & each & everyone LOVES this joint...This is absolutely the place to take anyone that is a Vegetarian. The Brussels Sprouts are a must!..the lobster roll is one of the best I have ever had.. Pad Thai is yum...You just can not go wrong with this one... The wait staff is excellent & the owner Eddie will make anyone feel welcome...

  • Stephanie A.

    okay so this used to be my favorite place but i feel that its quality has gone down a bit. the food is still delicious but they no longer serve the KAMA and now they dont offer coconut milk rice on the menu....also i went during happy hour on a thursday once and happy hour is only at the BAR?!?!?!?!?!? what kind of shit is that?!?! ALL restaurants have happy hour and they APPLY TO THE WHOLE RESTAURANT AT THAT HOUR. i dont understand wtf is the deal with that. i think its literally the stupidest shit ive ever heard....with only 10 bar stools i guess only 10 people get the happy hour drinks.....LAME. anyway, the food is always good here so i always come back.

    I have been to Dapur 3 times now only after being introduced to it about 6 months ago. I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for years and pass this location almost daily. Man o man was I surprised as to what was on the other side of the entrance door... I felt as though I had been transported into a trendy Miami location. It was incredible. When you walk in you are first greeted by a hostess. To the left is a very posh lounge and to the right a beautiful dining area dressed with an enormous gold Buddha. On my most recent visit I brought a friend along for the experience and was a bit disappointed by the service. It was obvious that the two servers that were working were overwhelmed by a party of 12. No check backs to see how things were, water glass empty for 15+mins, and had to go to manager to order more food. I'm a server and I understand busy and in the weeds, however to be neglected for the amount of time that we were was just not acceptable. Manager should have helped out a bit versus being behind the host desk. Only after I asked the manager for more water and our waiter did I see someone watering tables. I will return because the Brussels sprouts are amazing and all of the other food for that matter. This particular night was not that great of a visit and was disappointed that my friend did not experience what I know Dapur to be. Maybe next time.

    Last week I took my family to Dapur and we had a blast. The service was impeccable, our server Natasha was a rock star, very knowledgeable and made the perfect recommendations for the evening. The bar is gorgeous and the atmosphere is top notch. I live in Southern California and must say that the Hollywood type atmosphere venues don't even hold a candle to what Dapur has to offer. Thank you Sam (management) for stopping by to make sure that we were well taken care of. I visit Ft Lauderdale once in a blue moon and this place is one of my required stops. Be sure to get the Spicy Tuna Tar Tar and the Lamb Shank, it falls right off the bone.

    Considering that majority of people here already wrote about the decor of the venue. I will say the following. Ladies night on Thursdays. Free bar house liquors (ie. rum and coke, vodka and cranberry, gin and tonic, etc. ) wine and featured list of specialty cocktails were $5 which is still a great price. The appetizers in the lounge area ranged from $5-8 for dumplings, chicken scewers, etc. so the price is VERY reasonable. Food tasted great! I had an order of chicken dumplings and 4 gin and tonics and my bill was $5.23. WINNING!!!! Service was great! our cocktail server was never too far for us to be able to order another round. Definately going to be my new Thursday Ladies night hotspot!!!! *for the guy who said the decor was tacky maybe they redid something because I have seen tackier for sure*

    I got a Groupon back in May which was a $35 promotional value for 3 small plates and two drinks (regularly $70). The Groupon process was super easy, the service was great, and we came at the perfect time, right before the dinner rush. It's very fancy on the inside but no one was dressed nicely and there were many children present so the intimidation factor was low. We ordered the Hot Tower, the Rock shrimp, and the Kobe sliders. For drinks we both had Lycheetinis. The drinks were good and had a generous amount of alcohol. The Hot Tower was DELICIOUS but really small. The rock shrimp, while plentiful, were covered too much with a bland, buttery coating. I couldn't even identify the flavor. The Kobe beef sliders come with a spicy mayo in between "buns" make of lightly fried sticky rice. It tasted like straight-up cat food. I'm glad I got to experience this place using my $35 Groupon because if I had paid full price for that experience I would've felt ripped off. As my dining companion so eloquently put it on the drive home, "That was some Chili's-grade bullshit."

    I've been to Dapur 5-6 times now (maybe more?) and have always had a great experience. The food is excellent, particularly the himachi jalapeno, the royal roll, and the aoli (something like that...?) roll. The servers are friendly and unintrusive and the atmosphere is romantic but fun. My boyfriend and I have taken four sets of guests there and all have reviewed it positively.

  • Heather O.

    I absolutely love and recommend this place. I have been going there for over a year now and fell in love at first bite. The food is amazing, the presentation like art & the atmosphere is sexy and cool, very hip. The crowd is very diverse and seems to match the atmosphere. The lounge area is great to meet for Happy Hour or for light fare. It's also a great date night spot on the restaurant side. I have been to several birthday dinners here for friends as well and sometimes that can get tricky but the staff is incredible and very friendly. Saving the best part for last is the fact that in October of this year I hosted a Women's Investment Event for 75 Guests in the lounge area. The event included a fashion show and trunk show which is not easy to coordinate. The Owner, Edi and and the Director of Events, Bodo were unbelievable at assisting me in a flawless execution. They were very accommodating and customized many little details that made my event look so polished and professional. The feedback from my clients was outstanding. I highly recommend hosting events here as compared to other places as the pricing is right on for large groups and Bodo was amazing at adding his good taste and expertise to make my event stand out. Even the bathrooms in this place are worth checking out. What else can I say? Thank you Edi & Bodo! I look forward to many more events and evenings there!!!

    The idea of Asian Tapas really appealed to me and I wasn't disappointed by the food. There were many small plates that I wanted to try and we settled on four. 1. Hamachi Kama (Yellowtail collar) was delicious. 2. Miso Cod really fresh and melted in your mouth. 3. Whole grilled squid was wonderful. As good as you get in a real japanese restaurant and we just loved it. 4. Stuffed Tofu (stuffed with chicken) crunchy and full of flavor. We followed with Tom Yum soup which was nice but not quite authentic and the Philippine noodles again delicious. The bar area was enormous and so was the restaurant. They had clearly spent a fortune on fixtures and yet the tables were just bare wood and arranged in a clutter. Really strange. I would go back without hesitation for the food and the good service. But maybe they could invest in tablecloths and rethink the table layout.

    We were seated right away, but waited at least 15 minutes before anyone showed up to take our drink order. By the time the waitress showed up, we ordered our appetizers and entrees too, you know in case she didn't come back for another 20 minutes... Well, sure enough... 20 minutes later she shows up with the drinks and appetizers. I had the Coconut Caipiroska, and my friend had the Metropolitan martini; I couldn't believe they took 20 minutes to make that half-assed caipiroska. Presentation sucked. For appetizers, I had "The Eggplant" off the small plates menu. It was underwhelming to say the least. Very bland, just sad looking :'( For our entrees, my friend ordered the Booster Roll and I had the chicken pad Thai. They brought her food out first, and brought mine 10 or 15 minutes later... she was kind enough to wait for me until my food got there so we could actually have dinner together. The pad Thai was ok, a little dry, but I was so hungry I ate it anyway. I tried one of her rolls, it was pretty good. We ordered another drink, it took another 15 minutes so we decided to skip dessert because god knows how long that was going to take... Anyway, overpriced, overhyped, overrated. I will not be coming back.

    Had an exquisite lunch with some girl friends and the food was amazing. I'm not an Asian/Thai type of gal but this is as good as it gets. The ambiance is very zen, Asian inspired. We were seated on the right dining room. Service was prompt and lunch menu prices are very reasonable. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees to share including: Chicken Pad Thai, Salmon sushi/sashimi/rolls, Brussel Sprouts, Spring rolls... Everything was very good.. the Pad Thai was deliciously flavorful.. and I'm very picky! We ended with the Crispy Sexy dessert ... fried homemade cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce and green tea ice cream.. HELLO!!! Can't wait to go back for Thursday's girls Night Out and of course... ask the BF for a romantic dinner ;)

    We were enticed by the great reviews and decided to check it out. We ended up sitting at the bar as we didn't have much time and there was a wait for the tables. The ambiance is strange - definitely a lounge and without music playing when we walked it it felt like we were about to eat in some large vacant shoe warehouse. We ordered a selection of small plates from the very friendly bartender. Unfortunately, they were nothing to write home about. The scallops were tough, the short ribs like leather, the spring rolls were dripping with grease. Despite the very friendly staff, which I rate highly, Dapur feels too much like yet another flashy hot spot trying to serve gourmet food. In my experience, you can't have both.

  • Brian T.

    This is bar far one of my most favorite restaurants! The service is always great and the staff is so friendly! The ambiance in the bar is very relaxing and tranquil and makes for good conversation. The good is always superb and my favorite dish is the brussels sprouts! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Thai food with even better service!

    My friends and I had a great dinner at Dapur last night. Despite showing up totally unorganized and without reservations and being a large semi intoxicated and definitely loud and somewhat inappropriate group the hostess very graciously found us a table. Our servers where super sweet and extremely tolerant of our behavior. They were also extremely helpful with suggestions and Saki recommendations. I had the crispy duck which was outstanding. The fat layer under the skin was totally rendered and the skin perfectly crisp and well flavored. The meat was tender and aside from the leg and thigh portion was totally boneless which I love since most of the Chinese places I go to for duck just hack the duck into chunks without boning. The ceviche was on of the best I've had in a long while. It was so good that we ordered a second. I also had bites of the Pad Thai and the chicken medley. Both were very good. The free valet parking was a nice bonus and was epecially appreciated after eating at Michy's a few weeks ago and having to pay to valet when your car is parked like 10 feet from the entrance. The food, the ambiance, the service were all outstanding. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    Their Ahi-Tuna app is def a must have! Delicioso!!! I am a sushi lover, and the sushi there is a little "fishy" for my taste, but for drinks and a cozy/sexy/date ambiance is perfect! Great for date or drinks with friends.

  • Sherri S.

    Recently tried out this fabulous little hot spot due to a Groupon I purchased.. Thought it would be a fun date night with the Hubby and I was right! This hidden little gem has a delicious menu and very stylish and modern decor. I absolutely loved the ambiance. The service is always spectacular. Our favs on the menu are tuna tartar, pad thai and the chicken skewer (forgot the name, its new on the menu). Took a couple friends back for a 2nd trip and again the dishes and service were excellent. They have a happy hour in the lounge area with drink and appetizer deals. Highly recommend checking it :)

    I've been meaning to try Dapur for months now and finally made it there for dinner last night. The ambiance was nice - although the lounge/bar felt a bit odd. I imagine that changes when it fills up with people later in the evening. I enjoyed the food very much. The spring rolls were good, although not special. The brussels sprouts were to die for. I'd go back for those any day. And we each had a roll - one veggie and one tuna - which we enjoyed very much. The service was a little uneven. There was a parade of people back and forth to our table - our server - the person who brought the water - the other person who brought the drinks - the person who took away our plates - the person who brought fresh plates - the person who brought the food - and so on. But then there were times when we were ready to order something or had a question and no one was nearby. I'm guessing this was a function of the fact that we arrived for dinner at 6:30 and they obviously don't ramp up for serious service until later. I'm not saying the service was bad - just a little awkward sometimes. I will definitely go back. I'd like to check out the atmosphere later in the evening.

    We've been customers for a long time- best sushi ive ever had- always get the brussel sprouts, the rock shrimp and ribs as appetizer! Their food is always amazing and fresh- the fancy roll is one of my favorites- the staff is super friendly- i have never had a bad experience at Dapur... We come here once or twice every single week- eddie, the owner, is hands on, always taking care of us... Check it out, you wont be dissapointed! Carlos and Jason.

    Great presentation and the food was good, was rather loud, not really a place for a romantic first date, but great for a place for a bunch of friends to hang out and enjoy the tapas.

    After hearing about DAPUR and following it on Facebook, I was delited to have been invited to dinner there a week ago. I KNOW I'll go back, too! First what strikes me as 5 star is the decor- 100% geared toward intimate dinning Each place setting was perfect. Even a chop stick holder that matched was a nice touch though I'll admit some in my group didn't know what they were for. Lighting was ideal to see my friends, the menu and table Appetizers were varied and tasty. Not being a crab fan, what was served changed my mind Each dish was plentiful. No one went for want Deserts: Delish Service: this is where Dapur ranks far above any other place I've been to in Ft Lauderdale so far. Though we were a large group, drinks were kept filled, food came out quickly and explanations for the unaware were pleasantly offered. Yeah, I know its not as "cutsie" as a small intimate store front but I didn't expect that from what I saw on the web site.

  • Nik H.

    This place is okay. Don't go for the food. The atmosphere was nice and the bar is a great added addition. However, the food was nothing to write home about. Everything was under-seasoned and nothing stood out. I must admit that I did not order the short ribs which seems to be a signature dish. I would consider coming once more, but only for the short ribs and with a Groupon or Living Social deal. Without them, this place is too pricey for the quality of food.

  • Jennie J.

    I've only been here for dinner, never for drinking or partying, but I've never been disappointed. We always get the little tapas and they are so good. The hot tower and the fried tofu are always a go.

  • A R.

    Staff was fantastic, from the valet to the manager, all were warm and accommodating. The food showed care and pride. We visited for our wedding anniversary and all the dishes were delicious. Here is what we ordered: short ribs, oxtail soup, crispy duck, lamb shank, passion fruit pie. I recommend all, make sure to visit; we certainly will visit again.

  • Andrew G.

    Wow!!!!! All I can say is wow! This place is great in many ways! First, the server was very knowledgable and educated of what he was selling. The food is amazing as the server suggested the plates that were definitely worth trying. I've heard so many things about this place good and mediocre but for my experience this place was def worth my time! I love the atmosphere! It's very trendy and makes you feel like your in a hot spot. I def recommend this place for those whole love Asian food and for those that are looking to have a nice night out in a trendy spot. I def look forward to my next dining experience. :-)

  • Richard K.

    Wow, the size of this place really surprised me. I thought it was going to be a small intimate place, but instead, it is huge with a big lounge and dining room. It looks small like Hermione's purse, but inside it houses tons of things. Inside of Dapur, one will see the decor is snazzy and sleek. The lighting is romantic and overall the decor makes for a nice date place. After being seated, my date and I decided to share a royal tuna roll and a pad thai.The service was impeccable and the server was always there asking id we needed anything. Before we knew it, the food came flying out. The Royal Tuna Roll was clean and light; it was exactly what I was aiming for when I ordered it. The Pad Thai we ordered was solid. It did not bring us to a ratatouille moment, but it also did not send us to the bathroom. The portions were enough for two. Overall, the food was just average, but Dapur has fantastic service and incredible decor; I would return to try other tapas.

    Until the long blond hair made itself known in my piece of the Tuna Tartare, which the waiter thought was funny when it was actually disgusting, we had been thinking this was a decent restaurant. Oh well, too bad!

  • Rosita S.

    Purchased a groupon for this place and was very excited to try it out!! The place is lovely, I loved the decor and atmosphere. We tried 6 small plates and all were superb. The only negative thing would be the service. Our waiter was slow and not too friendly.

    (4)

  • Yana A.

    Umm... I don't what to think of all the reviews that I just read. "large portions"? Tell me it's a joke. Tuna tartar was delicious? Well, then I don't know any more what to believe. We had couple appetizers, as we stopped after work and they had specials for that time of evening. I had mohito with hardly any alcogol in it, it was sweet and nice, but I wanted something stronger. Tuna came on a huge plate, bite size 4 pieces of rice squares and mushy tuna on top. Regular price $13. In exactly 2 min. I was done with that dish.4 shrimp dumplings, regular price $8 were not fresh, I swear they smelled funny. I think the whole purpose of this place is not about food, they are trying to look like a trendy chick place with good looking staff, vallet parking and darkness inside. I m not coming back.

    There are so many amazing dishes on the menu I find myself fighting the urge to order one of everything. A few favorites are the koren short ribs, spice tuna tartar, and the Dapur tuna roll. The martini menu has a collection of libations that can satisfy any cosmopolitan's palette.

  • Carlos L.

    Well after my friends repeatedly expressed their fanatical experiences at this restaurant I decided to join them for dinner. What a disappointment, the place looks SO nice, extravagant, minimalistic and modern decor, great service (attentive, cordial) but SO slow, they claim it's their style to bring the food out as you wish, well I wish it was not so darn slow!....the food: average prices, the grilled calamari was very good, great presentation and good portions. My friends objected about the egg rolls being bland, the sushi rolls were great. I asked for pad Thai (easy and comparable dish); it was SO bland, I appreciate the tofu in it (healthy) but I asked for it to be hot and it was tasteless, so I asked for the spice tray and the server said pad Thai is Indonesian and not supposed to be spicy...WHAT? They don't promote themselves as Indonesian, they advertise themselves as Thai! Thai is hot! Needless to say, all my friends complained about the food being bland and this night being an exception, not sure if I'd go back

    Food is pretty tasty but the bar/lounge serves overpriced and really weak drinks. Would not go back because of that. Decor at the bar is cheesy with empty bottles of patron on lighted glass shelfs make it a little dumpy.

    Went a few weeks ago, and it just wasn't good. Sat at the bar and couldn't read the menu, the martini wasn't good, and the food seemed overpriced even though I had a groupon. The food arrived and it was bland, the bar manager's attitude was sour...all in all it was just an unpleasant evening spent here altogether. Went with a groupon that everyone else seemed to have as its been on offered in what seems forever. I have another groupon that I guess I'm gifting to someone else.

    This place makes my favorite crispy brussel sprouts. And I really enjoy their Dapur duck and calamari. The passion fruit pie is outstanding when it's served extreeeeemely cold. It's just okay at room temperature. This is a neat, trendy place. Very good-looking and helpful service.

    ok, I don't know what I missed, but this place was miserable. We went for happy hour. Food was terrible. Fried tofu and spicy tuna roll are a must avoid. Brussel sprouts were super salty but edible. Sangria was terrible- super sweet. We planned on spending a couple hours there, but went elsewhere. We could not get out of there fast enough. Very disappointing.

  • Cristina D.

    The place does not look good from the outside but everything changes once you get in. (the first time I drove by the area I thought it was a furniture store) I had the best sushi I have ever had in my life! Don't be fooled by the word 'small' because their small plate are not small.

  • Isabel T.

    Dapur has the BEST Asian /Thai food in all of South Florida. Their small dishes are AWESOME!! I have tried many of them--and I LOVE each and every one of them. Their Rock Shrimp are BEYOND delicious. The stuffed Tofu is extraordinary. The brussel sprouts are the very BEST I have EVER tasted. Their Dumplings are SUPERB. Whenever I have introduced a friend to this restaurant--every friend wanted to return there,--- as soon as possible. I eat at Dapur, either alone, or with friends and family,--- at least once a week. The décor at Dapur is very elegant, subtle and relaxing. The wait-staff at Dapur are always friendly, and accommodating. Edi, the owner, has a PASSION for creating a NOTEWORTHY dining experience. He is very engaging and attentive to his patrons. My trip to Dapur, from my residence,-- is over a half hour. But, my trip is rewarded with the BEST Thai Cuisine I have EVER had. Dapur is a GEM!

    Great food! They have innovative twists on traditional Asian food, which were culinary successes. The only negative was the club music in the adjacent room permeated into the dining room making it less intimate and enjoyable.

  • Myra S.

    OK so we tried it on all the hype on yelp. Ft. Lauderdale, are you so used to service that is so poor that if someone pays attention to you, you are ecstatic????? Kimcee way too spicy, Vietnamese rolls tough, Crispy duck tasteless. Only saving grace of the nite: coco chicken soup. Will not be back. Ft. Lauderdale wake up and DEMAND MORE.....

  • Margo P.

    Saturday was my first time eating here - it was for a friend's birthday. I can't wait to go back! The food was delicious. The service was good. The only drawback is it's not exactly kid friendly. Luckily I do not have a chicken fingers type of 6 year old - my daughter loved the short ribs and the rock shrimp. I highly reccommend the rock shrimp, the short ribs, and the sushi. We sampled several menu items and ALL of them were delicious so I don't see how you can go wrong!

  • Gary B.

    Awesome Restaurant/Lounge! Great Happy Hour 7 Days A Week. The Grilled Calamari w spicy mayo, The Rock Shrimp & Brussel Sprouts are Insane!!! The owner Edi is Ultra Friendly & He Grows his own herbs in a private garden. Staff is Amazing & Food is Amazing! Been in Ft Lauderdale since 1996 & This is my FAVORITE SPOT!!!!

    Great food, don't plan on having a quiet conversation though. Owner should put sound proofing in. But the miso cod was incredibly great, the ceviche was good with a nice kick and the papaya salad was also yummy. My husband felt his seabass was just ok. Especially when he compared it to my miso cod. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!

  • Kris F.

    Really was surprised at the quality here... Very attentive service and lovely cocktails... I concentrated on Indonesian small plates, since short of driving to Miami, I'm not going to find them elsewhere... Didn't disappoint... Kimchee is tasty but needed to be MUCH spicier... All in all, nice night out, good value for money, and quite entertaining... we'll be back!

    This contemporary Asian restaurant is located in a small shopping area of Federal Highway. It has a good bar that features a good happy hour. They make their versions of the typical drinks with many tropical fruits. The drinks are extremely well mixed. The food we had were tapa sized and all of them were very good tasting and well presented. I loved the calamari, the grilled one, wow never had it like this, so fresh (the more typical fried was very good as well as I tried in another visit). Try all.

    (5)

  • Sunai E.

    Fantastic find! I went here on a groupon and was pleasantly surprised. Asian tapas styled small plates- each tasty, flavorful and FRESH! They grow their own herbs in the garden outside of the restaurant. I loved the coconut rice side, calamari and the oxtail soup...amazing. The decor is very zen- eastern themed with large buddahs and dimmed lights. Will definitely be going back here!

    Best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale!!! Dapur really is one of a kind. The food is unbelievable and its evident the pride the owner has taken in carefully creating and selecting the absolute best to go on this menu. I brought 3 people along with me who had never been. I had set their expectations pretty high and was worried that they may not see it the way I did. They absolutely loved it - all 3 telling me it was the best food they had ever had in their lives! That is a HUGE statement. I have some suggestions: grilled whole calamari, hot tower, miso cod, tuna tartar, vietnamese rolls, crispy brussel sprouts, chicken salad, oxtail soup, rock shrimp, and bakmi goreng (basically everything I have ever tried) - just to name a few!! I would definitely suggest foregoing individual meals - order as much as you can as a group!

    I had driven by many times but a friend recommended it so I decided to try it. They have complimentary Valet Parking which is convenient as the location has minimal parking spots. The lounge has a great feel to it and I would recommend it for happy hour which they have ladies night on thursday. Andrew was our server and he was very knowledgable of the menu and very attentive. He recommended the Bang Bang Scallops and they were just that Banging. So flavorful with the Brussel Sprouts that melted in your mouth. Highly recommend to try this. It does come with 3 of them so if you are with 2 people I would recommend to order 2 if not you will be fighting for the 3rd one. Their twist on Sashimi Tuna is delicious and creative. This also brings 3 so hard to share for 2 people so we split the last one. The short ribs were cooked to perfection , this brings 4 of them so perfect for 2 people. We didnt get to order the Royal Tuna but that will be my next choice when I return looked delicious. They have a very creative drink menu and over all great vibe. I am looking forward to visiting it again. If you are in the fort lauderdale area and are looking for something different and fun with a great vibe and great food stop by this nice hidden spot.

    This place is a knockoff of Tao!!! The food is ok but the decor is so tacky. The decor is all over the place and not zen at all !!! Only go here if you want to be ripped of and so touristy. What a waste!!! Would recommend to just go to the real thing. First off the drinks are soo watered down!! The food lloks great but is so nasty. Our server was a little diva. The mangers is trying to rip people off and does not at all respect his customers and blames it on something else. They are trying to be a hip place but it is so tacky!!! This place is a mess. So class less!! Trashy place!!!

    After reading everyone reviews I decided to go and check them out for myself ...and I have to say it brings me back to NYC lounge restaurants the decor is beautiful,friendly staff, happy hour from 5-8 on food and drinks complimentary valet .... there is plenty of space they have different setting in each room this is not a hole in the wall ... the prices are affordable and your paying for great Asian food ... location is great its right outside of Ftlauderdale downtown so you won't be paying for parking or dealing with the annoying tourist ..... this is win win place

    So I had been driving past this place and wanting to come to this establishment for MONTHS so obviously I was overly excited when my boyfriend and I finally came here. At first sight, I was impressed with the somewhat fancy decor. It was a weekday so the place was very empty and there was not a wait to get a seat. The waiter was quite friendly and we perused the menu while he brought our glasses of wine. We decided on a sushi roll to start that was pretty good. I ordered the Sea Bass and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Thai. I was very excited about my meal but after picking about 5 fish bones out of my fish I had lost my appetite. I tried my bf's Pad Thai and it was mediocre compared to the fantastic hole in the wall, family owned Thai place we normally go to. I decided that for the price and disappointment I will not be going back to this restaurant. We already have favorite Sushi & Thai restaurants in Ft Lauderdale and this just did not measure up.

    The food is delicious, the ambiance is chic however the three times I have been there the service has been substandard. Excessively long waits at the bar and bad service in the restaurant by unapologetic wait staff.

    (3)

  • Lee Z.

    I must say, the taste of the 3 small plates we ordered were so delicious,and the presentation was aesthetically appealing. We had the grilled calamari, hot tower (jumbo lump crab meat, avocado, ahi tuna, crispy rice, creamy wasabi), and rock shrimp (tempura battered tiger shrimp, shitake mushrooms, light spicy mayo). (I used a Groupon certificate) Although not my style, the decor is more of an Asian fusion, which is very nicely done. The staff was friendly. However, it is a little pricey for me, especially for the small plates. But I understand because of the type of patrons they cater to.

  • Ryan J.

    We found a little advertizing card at the resort we're staying at offering $5 off the total check, so we decided to give it a try. The place was fairly empty and we're seated right away. Our server was prompt and gave us the run down of how the place works as far as ordering the topas plates. We showed him our card and he was quick to point out that it was expired and that we should make sure to get rid of all the other cards at our resort. We kind of laughed it off and began ordering our food and drinks. He let us know that the plates would come out as soon as they were ready. my Moscow mule was so bad that I couldn't even drink but a few sips, I made use of the water. The first three plates began to come and it wasn't wowing us. We had to wait a Lil longer for the fourth plate after the waiter went to check on it. We still hadn't received the last order of dumplings yet but asked for the check anyway. At the last minute they came out and were pretty good. The waiter again mentioned the expired card sort of in a joking way, but to let us know that they weren't welcomed. If it hadn't been for that little card we would have not even gone to that place and dropped a good $80. If he was smart, he would have given us $5 off anyway or offered a free plate of something instead of give us attitude. Just fyi, there is an awesome Cuban restaurant right across the street that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    If creative asian / sushi cuisine is what you are looking for, this is the place to go to. Sometimes, trying to put a unique spin on dishes becomes the death of the very essence that make things like fresh raw fish great. Dapur got the food just right. We had the ceviche ($15) which was spot on with the right mix of refreshing cucumber and citrus tang to complement the generous amount of fish. The tropical tuna was a hefty portion of tuna, avocado and fresh fruit while the hamachi jalapeno paired the fresh, delectable yelowtail with a citrus soy sauce ($16). Service was great and the waiter checked several times to make sure we were doing ok. The only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is the music / neon lighting that makes this place a little uncomfortable after a while. Overall, a great place to check out, they also had free valet parking when we visited.

We tried twice to get in once they close between lunch and dinner , then we went for dinner on a Friday night after being recommended ,I brought my friends from Miami, we parked in the front ,and we're told to move by the parking attendants they had on duty! VERY RUDE!! When I told the girl on the phone , she said oh really? I can't believe that! Instead of apology , I nor my friends said they would go back!!! LOSER! Resturant !

    Came on a Saturday night, no reservations, seated in 5 minutes. Edamame was good, spring rolls were excellent, nice crispy outside. Had the house saki, eh not bad for house, slight sweet flavor, not overpowering. Had the Lobster Crunch roll and The Fancy roll, both good for the price.

    Surprisingly spacious and trendy asian food spot located on federal. Love the small plates! Love being able to order numerous small portions and taste everything! My favorite dishes are: - Miso Cod! Honey miso glaze!! Yum!! - Korean Short Ribs. I may just love Short Ribs everywhere! - PAd Thai (always!) - The FireCracker Snapper Tempura Rolls - Shrimp Tempura appetizer - Fried Rice - Grilled Calamari On entering the hostess always ask if you prefer to dine in the bar (which is dimly lit and has a club/lounge feel), or the restaurant. If you are looking for the happy hour deals, head to the bar area. The service is always pleasant. We enjoy this spot everytime. There is a large party room tucked away in the front that you overlook. Perfect for small gatherings of up to about 30-35 people. Definitely recommend.

    The food is hands down excellent. The service on the other hand needs some work. This place has been around long enough to work through the kinks. The cucumber martinis on the other hand are fantastic. Good happy hour with good saki selection

    Outstanding! Great food! We had the scallops with Brussels sprouts, The tower appetizer, and the grilled calamari. Everything was amazing and our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. Definitely on my list of favorite places to return to!

    The food and drink are great, the staffs are nice, however I must give them only 1 star based on the owner attitude and his hard headed decision. They have the Tuesday special 2-for-1 on sushi roll. The staff told me that you order 2 rolls and they will take the cheaper off your bill. So in the 1st round, I ordered 2 rolls that are $15 each. As I want to try all their food, on the 2nd round, I ordered another 2 rolls that are $8 each. The logic way of my expectation is my bill will be deduct $15 and another $8. However at the end of the night, when the bill come, it chose to deduct $8 and another $8 as they were the 2 cheapest order. While the staff see the logical on my order, he has no option to change it, He asked the owner to overwrite, the owner refused to do so and the owner believe that is how they would do thing. I will not be back here again. I also want to share my bad experience with this restaurant to you so that you are aware of how they do the business,. It was not the money of $7 that I care about, it is the way the business is doing that made me feel cheated. It is the principle. I have planed to bring more friends from Miami to this restaurant, now I will no longer choose to do so. I have planned to recommend this restaurant to my friends from California who travel to Florida, now I am not going to do that. Good impression is hard to make, while the staff made it, the owner buries it... what a way to lose in business

    I love this place. Service, food and evening the entertainment at the lounge was amazing. I have to say I have been back 3 more times. I absolutely love everything on the menu. The BRUSSEL sprouts reeled me in. :) The owner EDI is such a great host to all that walk into his sanctuary. We enjoyed his hospitality and smiles. The drinks, the exquisite flavors in all of Dapur's dishes and the desserts are all an experience I hope everyone gets to experience. Thank you EDI ...My gang and I will be back for more soon.

    Great for both lunch & dinner! Really love their Hot Tower & The Masterpiece, but everything else I've ordered has been delicious as well. Super efficient & friendly servers are willing to make adjustments (like "less spicy, please" or "brown rice instead of white rice") plus the atmosphere is so relaxing & conducive to conversation.

    Dapur is a hip and swanky hidden little jem on Fed Highway in Fort Lauderdale. Yeah it's not on Las Olas or in the trendy Himmershee area. But being that it's not in those two areas and they have plenty of parking and valet, I'd say that this place is an epic win. In the time it took you to park your car in those two areas, I'm already into my appetizers & sushi at Dapur. Our server Natasha was super fast and friendly. We ordered a ton of food and she kept on bringing it out. Also I agree with Jessica, the Brussels sprouts are amazing. I also enjoyed the flavors of the Sushi. And most importantly my beer was cold.

    Dined here with my wife using Groupon (30 for 60 for small plates). The decor very nice and aura filled with energy. We ordered the rock shrimp, scallops, and miso cod. Also had two drinks. The presentation of the small plates were great and the taste was pretty good. Only problem i had were the portion sizes. For 90 dollars we should leave the establishment satisfied, but i exited the restaurant with still an appetite. Great place to hang out, grab a couple of drinks and appetizers. They have a good happy hour menu with items at reduced prices

    This is one of my favorite hot spots to go for happy hour. I have only been in the bar area. I love the ambiance. It is laid back, asian chic, stylish. The food is amazing. You have to try the broccoli sprouts. All the happy hour menu items are delicious and inexpensive. The prices on the drinks are also great. One of the bartenders made me a peanut butter martini!!! It was so good!! Everyone in my party had one and the word spread to the rest of the bar. He used real peanut butter. For the most part, the bartenders are friendly and attentive. I have had a few instances where it took forever to get their attention and to be served.

    I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment! Each and EVERY visit has been outstanding! Dapur never fails and it always delivers. Great drinks and music in the lounge then over to the restaurant. Without hesitation, the wait staff is pleasant and fun and attentive to our needs! It is an absolute must when in the mood for asian fusion fare. The Dapur tapas and rolls are always unbelievable. Usually you can make a meal just from the tapas. Brussel sprouts are always amazing and this time we threw in a firecracker and drama queen roll. Wow! Spectacular!! To end the evening, fresh tempura bananas and vanilla ice cream! That's as good as it gets! Short and sweet, Dapur's delivers - EVERYTIME!!

    Ummmm...interesting night. Spring rolls came frozen, forgotten appetizers. And the table next to is got sprayed with food when the waiter dropped a plate. Seems like it might be better to try this place when it's not too busy.

    Can't say enough good things about this place! The bartenders are friendly and very attentive; the lighting in the lounge sets a great ambiance and provides a sultry atmosphere. The small plates and sushi are unbelievably delicious. Between the great service and awesome atmosphere, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be back!

  • Joe C.

    Tonight we tried to enjoy another great meal here but this was the second time we showed up in the past weeks where they had a private party in the lounge with very loud music. Unlike the last time we asked if they could lower the music just a bit so we could enjoy another great meal. But the manager simply said. "I cannot lower the music because it was a private party with lesbians and they can be out of control". Surprised at his statement we turned around and walked out and mentioned that his comment was uncalled for and that simply lowering the sound would make for a far more pleasant meal. We left never to return. Good food does not mean good taste or good relations!

  • Faren R.

    From the decor to the drinks to the artful sushi and delicious Asian tapas, Dapur is such a great place for dinner. The crispy Brussels sprout appetizer is my favorite item on the menu - there's some secret and wonderful sauce (I suspect soy and ginger and fish sauce and Asian magic) glazed over the crunchy leaves that is enough to make even a picky kid finally fall in love with brussel sprouts. I highly recommend it.

  • Tina D.

    This is a review of their Lesbian event on Friday nights. I haven't eaten at the restaurant. Since New Moon closed, the women haven't had one reliable place to go, but the effort by local businesses to pick up the slack is admirable. Walking in, we asked the hostess if this was the place with the women's event. She responded, and I quote, " I have absolutely no idea what's going on in here. Sorry." We wondered if we should just leave but since we had just run through a downpour to get inside, decided to at least check it out. I asked if she perhaps knew where the bar was & she managed to point us in the right direction. The bartenders were both of the male persuasion, which was a definite disappointment, but the go go dancer they brought out later mitigated that somewhat. The DJ did a pretty good job with the tunes, & there was a decent sized dance floor. Liquor reps in tight shirts and short skirts made the rounds several times hawking free samples of whiskey. There were women in attendance of various shapes, sizes, colors, and ages (high femmes with a few soft butches) but not enough. I was with friends, so I can't complain, but a single lady might have a hard time making a connection. (Probably true of all lesbian events in some way.) The success of this event is a catch 22: if more women go, it will be a successful event, but until more women go, most women won't bother. Such is the life of the Ft Lauderdale lesbian in the post-NM world.

    First time at Dapur last night. Got there early, so it wasn't crowded at first. Crowd picked up as the nigth went on. Place is huge, much larger than I would have expected from the outside. A large bar area to start or finish the evening if you so desire. Friends and I split a bunch of appetizers and small plates. Included the fried calamari, beef "sliders", bang bang scallops, fried rice and short ribs. Also had the coconut milk soup. All were good some better than others. The slider was very different as the "bun" is rice and so the consistency is surprising and sort of heavy. And it overhwhelmed the beef. Calamari was pretty average compared to most places. The soup was very good, not "white" like at most places, not too spicy, but with a hint of spice. Fried rice was excellent. Short ribs come on the bone, which is sort of weird given how small the pieces were. Still pretty tasty. Overall, this is not your typical Thai place. Its sort of "fancy" Thai. I want to try the sushi next time. Service was consistent and helpful.

    This place is definitely a gem! From a nice relaxing dinner of multiple delicious tapas, to private parties, to birthdays, I've had the pleasure of experiencing all of them at Dapur and they never fail to please. The food is so fresh and absolutely incredible! I have not had one dish there that I haven't liked... matter of fact, I usually try new things there and end up loving them! I had my 30th birthday there as well and the night went on without a hitch and everyone loved the place. Highly recommend it!

    Absolutely amazing for an out of the way place. The fried brussel sprouts were so yummy and the spicy tuna roll lunch plate was perfect. Wait staff was attentive, informative but not intrusive. Edemmomi was prepared like I've never had it before - delish. Just wish I had room for the passion fruit pie - but definitely will when I return for dinner.

  • Wade B.

    After Galanga seemed to fall off in terms of quality, we were delighted to find Dapur. A nice and eclectic mix of Asian or Asian inspired dishes makes up the menu with a few standouts - we enjoy the duck main (always cooked perfectly) and the spicy tuna on fried rice (which has a fresh taste but an amazing consistency). Service has been good to great on our three visits there and prices are reasonable. I'd rate it just as good as Coco, which is delightful too, and I'm happy to have an alternative for a solid east Asian choice with a nice atmosphere.

    I had recently heard that this restaurant opened up for lunch and was excited to try! i went with my boyfriend; going out to new lunch spots is kinda of our thing. we were greeted with edamame and waters. the server was new and didn't know much about the menu so we just winged it. i had ordered a tuna roll and side salad. loved the dressing on the salad, the tuna roll could have been bigger. my boyfriend had gotten the superfit rice dish. it was supposed to be brown rice, but looked like white rice with a bunch of soy sauce, none the less it still tasted great. We were the only people in the restaurant so we decided to peek around. ended up having a full bar and lounge on the other side of the restaurant and was quite beautiful

    Nice atmosphere and beautiful decorations. The appetizers are all super tasty, and the drinks are yummy too. It is a little different then other restaurants but i like that. The waiters are knowledgeable. I like the oxtail soup its a must try. They have great bar and club like vibe on one side. The other side is a beautiful relaxing restaurant.

    We went on a Friday night for happy hour (every day from 5 to 8 pm). They have a pretty decent happy hour menu. Draft beers are only $3, but they don't really have anything craft. Still not terrible with $3 Yuengling on tap. They do have other beverages on special during happy hour. We tried several of the apps: edamame ($4), tuna roll ($10), chicken yakitori ($5), dumplings (shrimp or chicken $5), tuna tartar ($8), and spring rolls ($5). The tuna tartar was our favorite. Service was OK. I might sit at a bar instead of a table next time. All in all, it was a good experience, and a nice way to sample the food and put back a couple of drinks.

    Really disappointed. The food was really bad. We ordered the skirt steak which was undercooked and rubbery. The pad tai had no chicken. The pad tai at pei wei is much tastier and lots cheaper. Won't be coming back here for a long time.

    Though located in what has previously been the home of many a failed restaurant, Brazil and Salute come to mind, Dapur is completely renovated and completely redecorated. However, to my mind, the interior with its patterned cement floor, huge Spartan industrial like space and very basic decor has the ambiance of dinning in an Indonesian machine shop. My other impression is that it is sort of hipster without the hip to it and somewhat trendy but with the chic portion of the trendiness lacking, My biggest gripe, however, is that the lights were so low that I had to rely upon my Android flashlight widget in order to not only to read the menu but also to enable me to see what I was eating. I really don't like being unable to see what I am eating even though I prefer low level light when dinning. However, the lighting in Dapur was so low as to attain the point of being ridiculous. I added a couple of pictures, but only of the bar area and of the basinless men's room sinks. That is because it was so dark in the other areas, like the dinning area, that even with a flash I couldn't get a good picture. As for the food, it's very good, large portions and reasonably priced. I started with the tempura calamari, which was nearly a meal of its own, then went on to have the lamb shank. Both were delicious and done to perfection. However, I immediately knew that I have had the same before at Galanga. My suspicion on that was confirmed when I later discovered that most of the employees of Dapur were previously with Galanga. The service was outstanding and after placing my orders, they arrived quicker than I have ever experience at any other restaurant. With so many great Asian restaurants within the local area my overall impression of Dapur is that it is rather lacking in comparison, mainly because of the cold cafeteria/industrial ambiance and the food, though very good, wasn't that much better so as to set it apart or above.

    some of the food here is pretty decent, but nothing overwhelmed me. I celebrated my 50th birthday here with 8 friends. this kitchen is not equipped for large parties. the food came out sporadically and none of us ate together. the waiter apologized and said that they have a very small kitchen.

    Great restaurant, wonderful food. I've been here twice before and never disappointed. Shared a few of their small plates - the veggie dumplings, New Wok EDAMAME, and the steak and yuca which were all fabulous. Topped off with the Lobster crunch sushi. Wished I had room for dessert. The service was also excellent. Had my soda and water refilled at least 3 times and server came by several times to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next trip back.

    What can I say. The place looks like a made up fake movie set. We ordered several items and only a couple made it to our table. The owner was floating around with a smile in his face completely unaware of the disaster this place is. After what seemed to be two hours, and still no dinner...we asked for our bill and left. First time here...and last. There are much better places in Ft Lauderdale.

    It has been a while since I had the opportunity to host a party for my birthday. This year, the universe goofed, it fell on a Friday. The only challenge was selecting a venue to host this joyous day. Edi, the owner, made that decision easy. He was able to customize a dinner package which matched my budget and expectations. The staff executed my dinner party plans , last Friday, flawlessly. Starting from the private space, the decorations, the lights, the service, the food; they were amazing. Natasha and Duran (wait staff) were the personalization of professionalism and dedication to customer service. My friends and family were impressed. The Dj was exceptional. He literally customized his playlist to fit our personalities. I'm looking forward to our next occasion at Dapur.

    I had the opportunity to dine in Dapur while on vacation from California and I'm glad I did. The food (bang bang scallops and sliders) were great tasting, drinks were strong and yummy as I like, and the server (I think her name was Ashley) was the sweetest, kindest, most helpful server ever!!!!!! She was quick and efficient...a beautiful example of what customer service should be. I will definitely be back when I visit again :D

    The tapas and the mixed drinks were great during happy hour. When we all went to sit in the main dining area time turned into a backwards warp.

The decor was nice but nothing overall was worth me returning or recommending to others.

    I have been to this restaurant many times for different occasions: dinner, lunch, birthdays, social events, networkers. I have always had an amazing experience. The food is delicious - I mean all of it. From the sushi to the curry to the small plates. It's always fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The owner is also very philanthropic and does a lot to give back to the community, hosting all types of events for nonprofit organizations. It's always great to see local businesses providing top notch food, friendly and efficient service, and supporting the community they do business in. Oh - and they have great happy hours and specials like Rolls Me Up Tuesday (two for one sushi rolls!). If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out!

  • Asian G.

    Although the small plate concept was great, I did not find the food authentic nor did it have indonesian/malaysian flavors that I was expecting. Being an Asian, I may have higher expectations. Started off with the roti which was drenched in oil and I am certain it was frozen and not freshly made. The curry that came with it was a normal red curry ( nothing special). My friend also ordered the Murtabak which was a pastry stuffed with meat. Originally, martabak suppose to be a Roti stuffed with a tasty meat stuffing. Moving on to entrees, the beef rendang had tender meat however the sauce was overly sweet and nothing compared to the original version. For those of you who are vegetarian, there are hardly any options for you other than the usual red curry or a pad thai or fried rice. I would not return and pay that much for such normal dishes. Indonesian/Malaysian cuisine is full of flavor and there are many amazing dishes that could make the menu much more attractive. Don't serve frozen roti and call it authentic. Would suggest the owner to add laksa, nasi lemak, mee goreng, satay which are some of the most famous dishes from that region. They should have more options for vegetarian customers too. Customer service was just ok as servers hardly had much details about the menu and were not attentive.

  • Francine M.

    Another great meal at Dapur: Yes, the Brussel sprouts and edamame are excellent. Some of my favorites are the jalapeño tuna, shrimp dumplings, lobster crunch roll, and hot tower. And of course, a refreshing cucumber martini or two. Love the fresh foods, fun vibe, funky setting and friendly service too.

  • Krys P.

    All the great reviews hype me up, but what a huge let down! Over-priced mediocre Asian food in a setting that caters to people who care more about fancy decor than good food. Sorry, I care about my food, not just looking good but tasty as well, and the place simply doesn't measure up to the better Thai, Japanese, or Indonesian places I've been to in S Florida. The brussel sprouts is quite tasty, and we did enjoy the bakwan (kind of like tempura crab cake). The Dapur Green was just a slightly upscale version of the salad you usually get for free at Japanese restaurants. We tried the beef rendang, a very traditional Indonesian dish, and definitely it doesn't measure up to others we've tried. We ordered several other dishes, as the portions are so small, but nothing to write home about. End up when the bill came, we were in for a nasty shock. The service was awful. The waitress asked us what we wanted to drink, and we asked her for the drink menu. When we asked for spoons to share the desserts, after a long wait she brought one spoon, and it was another 10 min before we can flag down someone to bring us more spoons. Also, she brought something we didn't order and still billed us for it after we pointed out the mistake.

    Not a really big fan, decor was great. My girlfriend and I are huge foodies and we are visiting from Chicago. Sushi was not made properly...rice seemed smashed and rolled, and the actual sushi fell apart when picked up. I had ordered pad Thai and it was more sweet and fishy than what a pad Thai I had ever eaten before. We own two restaurants in Chicago and we do authentic Asian cuisines from Chinese to southern Asian food like Thai and Vietnamese food. Everything we ordered was just eh. EXCEPT the small plate of Brussels sprouts. That was the only great plate. Service was ok. Waiter forgot us for a bit, had to ask the manager to grab the check for us. I don't think ft lauderdale knows sushi or Asian dining. Definitely not authentic.

The dynamite shrimp appetizer is covered in some sort of mayonaise spicy sause that if I knew how to make, I wouldn't leave the house. Free valet, great service, and a great variety of asian food!

    Food is consistently good. Yes, the portions can be small, hence Asian Tapas... but are by no means skimpy. Weeknights are quiet enough that you can have a romantic dinner date. Weekends are way busier and louder...more suited to groups and parties.. The drink to have is the Dartsmoor. Happy hour is a great deal... sit at the bar and try all of those favorite small plates for $2-3 less than regular menu price for the same serving size. I love this place! Must try the tuna tartar and brussels sprouts.

    The first time I went to Dapur Asian Tapas Lounge years ago it was at the recommendation of a friend to host our annual Christmas party. I look back on that day fondly because it brought me to one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I now visit for lunch or dinner every month sometimes 2-3 times in a month. I absolutely love their small plates. I love to share food so this place is heaven for me. Their Crispy Brussels sprouts, the Roti with curry sauce and Edamame as a MUST TRY for everyone. Trust me you will dream of the day you can return and order those three items. Each time I go with a friend we order those three plates AND a different side each time. Everything I have tried is well done but still go back to my three favorite plates. Highly recommended. Fast friendly service, with nice atmosphere and décor. I recently went to a happy hour and tried there delicious incredibly price drinks! I have died and gone to heaven twice. Simply delicious well made with fresh ingredients. Also the small plates are half price so win win. A must try you won't regret it.

    I went last weekend and fell in love this restaurant. I tried six different tapas items and they were all delicious. The owner came out to say hi and he was a sweetheart. HE really pays attention to detail. The crispy rock shrimp were addictive and the Brussels sprouts were surprisingly delicious. I can't wait to go again!

    Wizard of Dapur does it again. Every time I stop by there's always some thing new (lights/decor/new drinks). I decided to stop by when I heard a new menu was being introduced. I counted at least 8 new dishes. Three must try new dishes: "Yuca and steak", the "Sunkiss" and the "Masterpiece" A few words about each: I was surprised to find yuca in the menu, but apparently it's quite Indonesian. Tender thin slices of steak resting atop lightly fried yuca - it's a nice combination of protein and healthy carbs. Delicate, fresh and tender are the best ways to describe the Sunkiss. It's sprinkled with little herbs and seasonings. Great as an appetizer or one of their tapas dishes, refreshing and light. Definitely try the Masterpiece - proportioned piece of seared tuna atop shiitake mushrooms and lightly cooked spinach. There's a faint hint of smokiness (perhaps when they seared the tuna?) along with a sweet savory sauce. I'm glad my favorites were not removed (as I almost always get these whenever I'm there): Dartsmor cocktail, and the spicy tuna tartare. Because of dropping temperatures, I also asked for the oxtail soup. I hadn't had one in a long time; it was like meeting an old friend - familiar, flavorful and nutritious. I had forgotten how much flavor it brought to my lips. The meat just falls off the bone.

    Dapur is a hidden gem and when you once you enter you are greeted by a friendly and lovely hostess. There is a beautiful bar area to relax at before or after dining or one can just have tasty appetizers there or the surrounding table tops. There's a cozy soda area to also relax at and eat, drink or chat. The restaurant is busy but organized with friendly staff. The menu is diverse and food is very flavorful. Great presentation. The owner is usually there greeting guests and ensuring they have a good experience. As a local, this is definitely one of my favorite spots!! Oh and great happy hours and events here!!

    This place is great...the food is delicious ..the bar is just gorgeous! You must try it! My husband and I have now visited this restaurant at least 15 times. Why you say? Because the food is fabulous, love the atmosphere, people are great and service is terrific. The hot tuna tower is to die for, the brussel sprouts delicious any tuna dishes they have are wonderful, sushi is tasty and very fresh. I have a sensitive stomach in this restaurant has never disappointed me and that says a lot for this foodie. If you've never tried it come for happy hour you have to sit in the bar and they have discount drinks and appetizers yum! I will tell you the music can be loud on the bar side --come early for happy hour if you mind that. And they always have Groupons so that's a great way to try it.

    We ate here on Saturday night, it's a cool place with a lively bar. The food was very good, some things a little pricy for the amount you get; everything is served in small portions, so it's great to share and try lots of things. We especially liked the rock shrimp, black cod, and fried rice. The dining room was getting pretty loud by 8:30, so we were glad we had an early reservation. Free valet parking is a plus!

    I went to have dinner to this restaurant following the good reviews, expecting much MUCH more. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because the service was good, our waitress was so concerned and trying to help, I felt bad. Their chicken pad thai was so bad, we had to return it. Their fried rice didn't even had color, it was not good the only good thing we had was the edamame, which doesn't have a science... It may be that it is a better lounge than restaurant because it does get packed.

    I am writing this review simply to tell you to not waste your money on the Sangria. At HH it was $5 a glass or $12 a pitcher so my boyfriend and I ordered a pitcher. The pitcher was extremely small. The sangria appeared to be nothing more than cheap pink wine with 3 tiny pieces of fruit in it. I would never think that I could be this disappointed in sangria, but don't waste your money.

    Though we walked in about 15 minutes before their lunch operating time was over Richard, the owner, greeted us with a smile and, because of my apologizing for coming in so close to their closing time between lunch and dinner, politely, without any pressure implied, asked us to get our order in before 2:30. Before I talk about the food and service let me say that the last time I had been here it was a Spanish restaurant with a completely different look. The inside is a lot bigger than you would think from the outside and the owners have completely redone the restaurant and bar area, the latter a huge separate room, a very big, bright and inviting space. The dining room is large, separated into 3 different areas, one for private parties, each very 'rich' looking and comfortable. The main dining room is dominated by a huge gold Buddha. Ryan and his helper, whose name I didn't catch, were very efficient and pleasant and the former had a smile that was as bright as the Buddha's! Allen ordered the Mandarin Chicken ($12.50) which was a cut up chicken breast on rice with an orange sauce and a side of Spring vegetables. With it he had a glass of Organic Jasmine Peach Iced Tea ($2). He thought there should have been more sauce on the plate to give some taste to the rice nor was he thrilled with the chicken 'bites'. I had the Kalbi Combo ($12.50) which is grilled marinated Korean short ribs with Jasmine rice and a side of Spring vegetables. With it I had a fountain diet coke ($2.) The meat was cut way too thin and cooked too long that it almost tasted like the proverbial 'shoe leather'. It seemed as if it had been sitting in the kitchen for an extended period. In spite of the disappointment in the food when we got in a conversation with Richard he talked a lot about the Sunday Brunch Buffet, for $22.95, that interested me enough to want to come to it. I did like two things that they did on the check that I don't often see. The first is they tell you how much each person in the party owed if they were splitting the check and how much the tip would be at 3 different percentages BEFORE any discounts! We had a groupon so instead of lunch costing us $36.74 including tip and tax we paid $25. Between Richard, Ryan, his helper, the ambiance and that Buddha, I certainly will give the Dapur Asian Tapas and Lounge another chance. SLIDESHOW youtu.be/HjVmWlP1_iQ

    This is a cool little place that has sushi that is a little off beat. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the decor. In addition to the enormous Buddha statue in the one corner, the lamps are gorgeous. They are made of seashells and the light hits them beautifully. They're really cool. Other than that the rest is pretty much your standard Asian fare, but little touches like the "chopstick holders" made of wood were nice to keep them from touching the table. I've never been a big fan of sushi that wasn't in "roll form", but I was talked into it, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what fish it was, but it was covered in a light sauce and had jalapeños on top. Also, I'm wary of whole jalapeños because I'm relatively sensitive to spice. Wow, was I surprised. Just enough bite to be flavorful but not too much to be painful. Delicious fish too. We ordered one roll as well for familiarity, but the "hot tower" was the most interesting yet hard to eat thing I've had at a sushi place. I wanted to cheat and break out a fork. The bottom is rice, the middle was avocado and top had ahi tuna. There was other stuff mixed in too, but eating it with chopsticks felt like stabbing a tower of mush and destroying a beautiful creation. Typically with sushi the chopsticks don't get sticky either, here was not the case. If this is on your menu, order this last or get a second set of chopsticks because they will get messy. Delicious though. The mayo sauce on the side completed the dish along with the little hibiscus flowers (which may have been edible?) The service here was fantastic as well. Not once did a water glass go empty, a menu go unexplained, or a request unanswered. We came in relatively late (around 9:15, when they closed at 10) and stayed for a good while when it was obvious they were trying to close on a weeknight. After it was clear we needed to go and I felt we had overstayed our welcome, they weren't even in the slightest rush to push out the door and the valet (free) got my car for me without me even giving him the check-he remembered my car, and it's not like I was the last car there. I really liked it here. I love sushi and I liked the out of the box dishes they had here, I would love to give more a try. Next time I'll just ask the chef what they recommend.

    Wow. I love Dapur. Words can't express how impressed I am with this little Fort Lauderdale night club vibe dive. I wouldn't have thought that I would like it as much as I did, but craving a good happy hour, we decided to stop in. Everyday from 5-8 they feature discounted food dishes and drinks. They are delicious.We had the brussell spouts that were cooked perfectly with kale and olive oil. Then we ordered the Lobster Crunch Roll. I normally do not like any tempura rolls, but this one was exceptionally flavorful and not overly fried. At the suggestion of the server, we tried the edamame, which is pan seared and is amazingly seasoned- super flavorful. We ordered the shrimp dumplings- my least favorite thing, but the person I ate with noted that these were for sure homemade. The REAL highlight of the night, which I recommend everyone try are the Kobe Beef Sliders. I think I will have dreams about these for a while- and I am not even a huge fan of carbs, so this is saying a lot. Basically, its a high quality meat burger sandwiched in-between a rice patty. Try it- you will not be disappointed. We also had lychee martinis, which were very good, but really sweet. The best deal of the night are the $3 drafts (only at HH). This is my new favorite Laudy Daudy happy hour spot. What are you waiting for- try it!!! P.S. they even have groupon deals!

    So much hype, so little service. Flashing purple lights adorn the corner of a wickity-wack shopping center. And there's a step-and-repeat. First impression: Where am I? We arrived early for our reservation, excited to experience this acclaimed restaurant. Waiting for our table, the hostess pointed towards the bar. We sat. And sat. And sat. Five people behind the bar and no one looked at us for 10 minutes. It was busy, but no one seemed in the weeds. Dry and thirsty, we waited patiently, considerately. One bartender then asked, "Have you been helped?" FINALLY! But no. He went on his way to pour someone else's drink and never returned. So we went to the host stand, explained our experience, but the hostess gave us a helpless sorry and meagerly waved goodbye. Where's the manager? Bye Felicia. Follow up review coming soon. Everybody gets one more chance. ONE.

    The restaurant's menu is a lot of fun as it's built on a Sharing concept that allows for a truly affordable foodie experience. The Tapas on the menu draw inspiration from all over south east Asia and compliment sushi culture well. All the plates are elegantly displayed, well-portioned, and delicious. I recommend the Brussels sprouts, new wok edamame and steak and yuca for the meat-lover or paleo enthusiast. For the seafood lover the pangsit is an excellent and filling entre or if you want to stick with tapas the bang bang scallops, the masterpiece (seared tuna resting on sautéed spinach, shiitake mushrooms and miso glaze) and hamachi tuna are irresistible. My absolute favorite sushi rolls are the surf and turf, dapur tuna and drama queen. The ambience is great, the lounge is beautiful, the music is on point, the drinks are delicious and the menu really caters to everyone without sacrificing the uniqueness of each plates' background.

    This is my new to-go spot for yummy sushi and happy hour in the Broward area. Their happy hour is on point with $6 drinks and discounted sushi rolls (you have to sit at the bar though!). The ambiance is also great if you're looking for a lounge-y vibe. They blast music and the lighting is dim and all in all - a good spot to get your drink (and sushi) on. Favorite thing on the menu so far is the spicy tuna roll. Some of the freshest I've had. Can't wait to go back.

    How this place has 4 stars, I have no idea! Mediocre sushi and poor service. My fiancé and I are big foodies, well versed travelers and sushi enthusiasts. We dined at Dapur while visiting family in Pompano Beach. The fish itself was meh.. The rice was unimpressive. During my trip to southern Florida, I have been lucky and eaten some amazing seafood.. Not here! The service was slow and rude. I certainly do not see any reason to return, and I would not recommend coming to anyone! Yelpers, look elsewhere for good sushi because you won't find it at Dapur.

  • R J.

    Overpriced and mediocre at best. Tried out Dapur based on the reviews, maybe the standards for Asian fusion cuisine in the area are low- and that the proprietors think that flashy decoration can cover up a so-so menu.. but the proof is in the pudding and Dapur is expensive and not very good- and some items (like the sushi) are downright terrible. But if you can't tell the difference between good Asian fusion and Panda Express you'll fall for the colored purple lights and giant Buddha statue and think you're doing some fine dining and justify the price in your head. Get ready to spend some $$$, everything on the menu is engineered to get you to spend more- such as the price for sushi (which is for ONE piece, instead of two like any other restaurant) to the "Tapas style " small plates your waiter will try to get you to order and share that run up to $14 each and are tiny and about as exciting as bar food. Tally up 6-7 of those to feed 2 people and a couple of drinks and see what that comes to.

    This place is pure glory. Everything I try tastes amazing. Lamb, hot tower, sushi, rock shrimp, drinks, and the list goes on and on. Service is top notch, always attentive. Would recommend to every human that eats food. Cannot wait to got back. Btw insanely low happy hour prices!!!

    Had a groupon and came in to lunch with my boyfriend. The tuna tartar was nice and spicy. The spring rolls were also delicious. The fried rice was not so good. I'm part Asian and have never had anything like it. We traded it for the Orange chicken which was pretty good. When we sat down we were greated by a friendly waitress. Edamame was complimentary and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try something else!

    5 stars for food...amazing ‼ had lobster crunch roll and booster roll ‼ Sadly service 3 stars so middle is a 4. We saw our waitress at initial order and bringing us our salads, then not again until main meal plates were empty-and she didn't clear those. Then she was quick to bring check. Anyway will be back since rolls were great. Hopes for better service.

  • Jim M.

    Our last visit here left much to be desired. The service was spotty and confused. Switching our server mid-meal because our first server needed to give more attention to a larger table. Then the new server wasn't very attentive and had a kind of "fake" personality. It was forced. The food was ok. I've had better if I'm being honest. I've been here other times and sat in the bar where I've had great service and the food was pretty good. I'll chalk this visit up to the stars not aligning that night. I'll have to give it another try to figure out if this place has went down hill or if it was a one time thing.

  • David W.

    We've tried Dapur twice. Food and service has been a mixed bag. I really want to love this place, but so far it doesn't measure up. Waiter / waitresses can't keep track of the tapas as they come out. Some were tasty and some not so much. The design of the dining is not so great either - very loud and feels a bit like a cafeteria. The decor is lacking as well. I'd recommend most of the other Asian restaurants in the area over this one. Try Bayshore, Galanga, Lemongrass, or Tee-Jay which are lower priced and better quality. Eddie, one of the owners is genuinely nice and a good businessman; so I'm sure this restaurant will improve.

    I went there for 'Dine in Fort Lauderdale' last night. Overall - I was not impressed. The service at the bar was slow - when we finally got a drink, it was just ok. Then we proceeded to the restaurant area to have dinner. We waited at our table before we were greeted for 10-15 minutes (and they were not that busy). Finally a nice waiter comes over to ask us if we have been helped (he is not the waiter for that section). He takes our drink order and tells us our waiter will be over. When our waiter finally comes to the table, he does not apologize for making us wait but proceeds to say ' I was just having such a great time with that table over there - they are the best table'. Huh?? Would you really say that to your new table? The food is the best part of this place. It is very good. Ceviche is awesome - would highly recommend. All in all, I would not rush back to this place. Maybe they were just having an off night. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since my friend I was with, has eaten there several times and really enjoyed it.. 2 of the items on the dine in Fort Lauderdale menu were not available (had run out from previous nights - per the waiter). With so many restaurants to check out in town, I expect a full experience (bar, food, waiter). When 2 of the 3 fail miserably, why waste my $$ when I can spend it elsewhere.

    Dapur has got to be one of my favorite Sushi/Asian fusion restaurants around! I've had very enjoyable experiences every time I've gone. I especially love their happy hour specials! I believe they are everyday from 4-8pm and all day on Sunday, but only in the lounge. The sushi is very high quality and the cocktails are amazing. Most of the specialty cocktails are just $6 during happy hour!! I also really appreciate the friendly staff, especially the owner Edi who is super accommodating. I look forward to my next visit to Dapur.

    I had a going away party at Dapur last Saturday night. They were able to accommodate my party around 17 people. The decor inside is so beautiful; I love the warm colors. The vibe is very chill and laid-back. The bartenders and the staff are so attentive and so nice. The food is so unique and so are the drinks. I had the Kobe Sliders, Chicken Satay, a mojito and a cucumber martini. There was attention to detail and flavor bursting from every piece. I liked how the sliders were made with sticky rice buns as opposed to regular bread buns. And the beef was so juicy and perfectly seasoned. Drinks were not too sweet which was great. I love this idea of Asian tapas. I'm a big fan of Asian food in general. This place is an affordable yet trendy and gourmet take on Asian fusion. Next time I come here I'm definitely going to check out the dance floor. They were spending a lot of good music--reggae, house, hiphop, urban latin-- that really made me want to dance. I can't wait to go back to Dapur!

    I was just not feelin' this place, at all. Tried this spot for happy hour on a whim, pretty empty (but it was a Monday). Our waiter was really nice, and as helpful as could be - but the food just wasn't great. Ordered off both menus, so can't be blamed on "happy hour food." We sat near the bar, the room had a modern lounge type feel - but I never see that as a good thing in restaurants because it usually indicates the food is lacking in my opinion. The pros: Happy hour prices The edamame Tuna Hot Tower Large place, no wait The cons: I felt my roll was fishy - so then I switched out for a veggie roll & that tasted strange too. I always order ponzu sauce to dip my sushi in & this one had a very 'medicinal' taste. Parking is kind of a weird situation

    I've been meaning to go here because my neighbor knows the owners and raves about their expertise and I see they advertise regularly in HotSpots and I think it's imperative we support advertising dollars affecting our own communities. I'd also heard about their superlative brunch and figured the belated birthday of sweet Regina was the best time to see what the hype was all about. It is with great trepidation I continue this review simply because I might prefer it to be my own little coveted spot; although rest assured the tables were humming with customers during our repast so it is a quite popular eatery. And no wonder; the brunch comes with a select choice of very potent spirits; make your own Bloody Mary (with Ketel One - none too shabby), mimosas and some very intensely delicious Sangria. The food is more than abundant with serving stations in nearly every corner - piled high with fresh goodies (croissants, beef short ribs, chicken tenders, sushi, an omelet station, a make your own waffle station - the owners don't stint by any means in sharing a delightful cornucopia of brunch delights). But the added plus to Dapur's vibe? The seriously absolutely handsome staff of wait staff who are as generous as they are gorgeous - smiles and laughs abound with this very professional crew of hands on waiters and bussers which leave you wondering; why can't other restaurants function so flawlessly? With a happy hour that looks more than appetizing and with those certainly eye appealing waiters, I shall be back!

    The Sunday Brunch Buffet for $22 is amazing. They have dim sum carts going around with buns and dumplings. I posted a picture of the menu offerings. There is a buffet with the following: breakfast potato, crunchy chicken, short ribs, lamb shank, fried rice, white rice, oysters, baked goods, miso soup, spring roll, tempura veggies, sauces for dim sum, omelet station(with no line), waffle station, chilled salads, sushi. The food was good quality. The buffet was always being restocked. Staff was efficient with clearing plates and filling drinks. There is valet parking. I would definitely return for this brunch. They do unlimited mimosas or Bellini's for $15.

    Ok, but could be better. We came here for Valentine's Day, and despite it being packed our waiter was very attentive, although he did spill some of my drink on me while bringing it out. I did some research beforehand and decided to try the brussel sprouts and hot tower given their good reviews. The brussel sprouts were really disappointing - we got mainly charred scraps and even the somewhat larger pieces had a definite burnt taste to them. As for the hot tower, we were unaware of the limited Valentine's day menu, which did not have the tower listed. We asked our waiter about it, and he was able to get it specially ordered for us. I'm so glad he did, because it was the best dish of the night. For our main dishes, we got the lamb shank and pad thai. The lamb was HUGE, cooked well, and just fell off the bone, while the pad thai (came with both chicken and tofu) was nothing special but still tasty. Overall, it had a very trendy vibe to it, and the food and drinks were good enough for me to return, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Introducing Sunday Brunch at Dapur! This possibly can not get any more exciting as Brunch is $23.95 for an all you can eat Buffet including two different kinds of Sushi Rolls, Pastries, Waffle Station, Salads, Omelet Station, and those warming buffet containers filled with Asian Offerings. In addition, a Dim Sum Cart comes around with some dumplings. Between all of this it is split between two rooms. The main dining room, also where the majority of people dine is where the Sushi, Fruit, and 2 Salads are located. In the Lounge Area is where the rest of the stations are set up. Wouldn't it make sense to make it all in one room to give diners a better feel while dining in the main room and more space?! Bottomless Mimosas, Sangria, and Bloody Mary's are available for $14 or you can get one for $9-$10. The Bloody Mary Station is set up very nicely with nice garnishes and lots of hot sauces! You also get to pour your own Vodka as we were told but never given the opportunity to do so. As all the offerings explained above this Brunch could be soo much better! It fell short in many different ways but starting with the Mimosas. The glass that your mimosa comes in is a mini version and quite cute but not when I'm at brunch. They fill the glass over halfway full with heavy Orange Juice with Pulp then leave a smidgen amount of room for the Champagne. This however was the least of my concerns as we stayed plenty of time to get our share of bottomless bubbly. The Food was so disappointing I seriously could not have seen this coming for a mile. First up, Sushi, oh wait.. It's falling apart before it even gets on my plate and the taste.. That was nonexistent except for the soy sauce and rice. The "Salads" offered mind you are only 2 different kinds. One being Papaya and the other some kind of Cabbage Salad both being very unpleasant. Next, we ventured to the real deal! Pad Thai- Crispy Chicken- Mussels- Chicken Fried Rice- Short Ribs were in these warming containers. Not very good planning as why wouldn't there actually be a Pad Thai Station instead of Omelets or Waffles? I thought I was at an Asian Brunch. So of course everything in these containers was extremely overcooked, dry, and disgusting looking. The absolute WORSE Pad Thai we have even had!! The Chicken Congee was not horrible but then again I feel this is hard to really screw up. Pastries included Muffins, Mini Cinnamon Rolls, Banana Bread, and some other assorted pastries all definitely store bought and placed out there. When all else fails and you want another round go for the Waffle Station! This was dishearteningly the best thing I had at Brunch! Wait?? A waffle at Dapur?? I can not forget about that ever-so hopeful Dim Sum Cart as mentioned above! Ohhh yes I can as this was the ultimate let down for the morning. Really, really bad dumplings with too much gushy wrapping was inclosing the mini shrimps inside. Fail I was more than confidant that this would be the Brunch Spot for many many Sunday's to come but all we got was a mouthful of regret. After spending $100 with nothing to show for it. I regretfully do not recommend Dapur Brunch to anyone!

    I try to maintain a critical eye, but some places you just can't find a flaw. Dapur tonight was just about flawless. As with any review, the positives were based on what I like, but cripes I was a big fan of everything. From the top, there is no place to park. You can walk a block, or they have a rather quick and efficient complimentary valet. Nice guys by the way. The gals in the front were ready to line up a table right away but we wanted to soak in the bar ambiance for a bit first. Awesome people, great tunes(house music), and a vibe and defied what part of town we were in. It felt like we were somewhere on Brickle to be honest Once we snagged a table our server was right behind he steward to get our drinks. Killer martinis. Our starter was Brussels sprouts in a garlic blend. Tasty of course. This was followed by a couple rolls that I defy anyone to have made more delectably. Dapur clearly has an incredible kitchen staff, and front of the house people that take the restaurant experience seriously. A solid 5 star

    Easily one of the most creative, exciting, and tasty Asian fusion restaurants in south Florida. Our Bartender Robby is a master of his craft, and very hospitable. Right off the bat i ordered a Cucumber Gin cocktail which is out of this world. Then they served us stir fried edemame and brussel sprouts. Honestly i could just come here for the drinks and edemame. Best ive ever had. After it went to several tapas items selected for us. Spicy tuna tar tar, baked scallops, steak and yucca, but the dish that really shined was the lobster roll. Florida lobster tempura fried just melted in my mouth. By the end of the night myself and my family were beyond satisfied. Highly Recommended

    Arrived rather early (5ish) after dealing with traffic for 1 1/2 hours returning from Marlins Park. Stressed out for sure. Just entering Dapur had a calming effect. Greeted warmly and went to a high top in the bar area to take advantage of HH prices. Robbie introduced himself as our bar tender/server. Since it was not busy we were able to have great conversation with this intelligent, affable and talented mixologist. Told him about a favorite drink from Pinon Grill and he was up for the challenge of recreating it. He nailed it despite the fact that he was missing one of the herbs. He improvised and it worked. We had a couple of apps at the suggestion of Robbie. Normally would not order Edaname.(Pretty plain and boring). but he insisted it was fabulous. He even offered to pay for it so we would try it. We did. Outstanding. Flash fried in spices. So unique! Moved on to large plates. The crispy duck and chicken pad Thai were both outstanding. Loved the veges that came with the duck. The pad thai was very different than most we have ever eaten. It was in what appeared to be in a tomato based spicy sauce. It worked.

    We are always looking for good Indonesian restaurants in South Florida, particularly my wife, as it's that little taste of home. Needless to say, this is a bit of a challenge in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. With this in mind, we trekked north; because although Dapur doesn't wear it on it's sleeve, it is Indoensian owned and serves both Indonesian and Indonesian-influenced-fusion food. Like many an area restaurant, it explains it's small plate style like a local: Tapas. Interestingly, the idea of a restaurant selling small plates, a warung, is a very Indonesian concept also. Also mixed in to this fusion are Thai dishes with dashes of Filipino items here and there -- and, of course, the obligatory sushi/sashimi. The verdict: it's pretty good. Although not fully authentic Indonesian cuisine, it was overall well-prepared. We had: (1) Beef Rendang: Slow-cooked beef in a coconut sauce. It was a non-traditional interperetation, but quite good. This is one of their "big plates". (2) Martabak: Beef, eggs, scallions in a sesame soy sauce, with Indonesian spices. Another small plate. This one might take some getting used to if you haven't tried this cuisine. It's an acquired taste, but it was cool that they had it. My wife, the real expert in Indonesian food, declared it "acceptable". Since we were with friends who were sushi enthusiasts, we did also try a "lobster crunch" roll, which was fairly good, although not great. I would probably not come here specifically for the sushi, honestly -- as I feel for that there are likely better places. ATMOSPHERE: I must also mention that the service was good, and the ambience was really fun. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure whether we were in a club with really elaborate table food service, or a restaurant with a very club-like bar. This isn't a criticism. So, one half of the restaurant is a bar area, with dining areas, a big screen with videos and a dance floor. It was filled with pumping music. The other half houses the sushi bar and more dining space and is a BIT quieter. The two are basically on either side of an arched portal. We came a bit early, before it really got spooled-up, but by time we wandered into the night, the place was definitely filled with club girls and party boys in their best clubbing gear, and the lobby flooded with neon. This makes for a unique dining experience on multiple levels: If we weren't so darn old, we could have eaten an Indonesian/SE Asian fusion meal then danced-off the calories into the night. As it is, created a fun, lively experience.

    I've been to Dapur twice, once for happy hour and once for happy hour and dinner. The happy hour is a good deal. Most drinks are $6 with a few between $4 and $10 (draft beers are $3). Small plates are also available for under $10. The mojitos are recommended by the staff but I didn't taste much alcohol or think too highly of them so I only the one the first time and chose other cocktails following. My second visit was on a Tuesday to take advantage of Dapur's "Roll Me Up Tuesday" when sushi rolls are 2-4-1. The sushi was tasty and a good pairing with the happy hour drink specials. I've had the Red & White, the Lobster Crunch, and the Dapur Tuna and liked all three. I also had a coupon for a free entree that I got for my birthday because I had signed up for their mailing list on my birthday. I took home a shrimp pad thai and enjoyed it the next day. The bar has a nice lounge feel to it and there is a DJ at night on the weekends. Drinks get a 3, food a 4.

    Have been here for both full dinner, happy hour w/apps, and brunch, so this is an overall rating. Definitely a fan of dinner and happy hour. Happy hour is a great value w/a selection of discounted martinis and very reasonably priced small plates to share. The lighting in the bar is beautiful when set for happy hour/dinner times and I appreciate the artistic touches (an amazing mirror by the front door, a gorgeous, huge, gold Budda in the dining area). The brussel sprouts are the bomb! Brunch, however, is "meh". Dim sum is a BIG bonus though the remainder of options seemed a little limited to comparatively priced brunches ($40 per person to include unlimited mimosas or bloody marys). Part of the brunch is laid out in the bar area so it must be more fully lit, definitely taking away from that atmosphere. Also, our server SUCKED!! Let's just say he was doing a fantastic impression of both The Invisible Man and Dr. No (apparently his favorite word, a bit hilarious since he is in customer service). So bad that I actually spoke with management at the end and they handled it wonderfully and definitely made it where I shall return again for dinner and/or happy hour....as long as I don't get seated in the same guys section!

    If you are a person who understands food and enjoys the complexity of flavors, than Dapur is the place for you. Beautiful atmosphere is matched by high quality food and excellent service. Lunch is a great time to stop in. The lunch menu is extensive and affordable. With the very first bite you'll have no doubt to the freshness of the food. Flavors are subtle and enjoyable. Well done!

    Been here a number of times and once for an event. (Pan-Asian)food is delicious and priced well. It's great for groups Just don't think they have a good staff/customer service. Don't care much for the table and chairs, I feel if they can make their seating situation more inviting, it will enhance the dining experience.

    Delicious and great service every time! My favorites are the sliders, chicken steamed dumplings, & hot tower. The sliders are really original since they use sticky rice instead of a bun! Soo good! The atmosphere and decor is also great.

    It was everything you could want in a restaurant, it got just a little too busy with my server for her to give her best. I loved the Rock Shrimp, edamame, crispy calamari and the curry chicken big plate. Our server started out well, we had a party of eight it got started in the lounge with an awesome martini called "sinless." Mmmmm. Our server was also helping with another party, a party of 40. So it took a mo' before we got up to speed. Once we did, oh my! A great meal was upon us. I'm sure the large party thing won't be a norm but it did keep me from a five star rating. Try it you really enjoy the food.

    I have had Dapur Asia Tapas & Lounge bookmarked for almost a year now and always wondered, besides a great happy hour, what this place is really about. I had seen so many of my Yelp friends check in here multiple times so obviously we needed to try this place. Well we picked a perfect night to go, not knowing that the Smart Ride for HIV, which is riding 177 miles next week to Key West to raise money, was having their "Pre-Ride Party" there last night. Made the 50 minute wait a lot of fun, with a lot of interesting people in the beautiful bar ( IN PARTY MODE) to socialize with. The one problem in the bar was that with all these people attending, they only had 2 bartenders actively serving and it took so long to get drinks. One of the bartenders had to ask my 3 times how I wanted my Vodka and Tonic, but without going into the details, I can say the service in the bar needed a lot of improvement. I probably spent 20 minutes waiting to get my order, and to get it straight. On a much more positive note, the bar was beautiful, with a dance floor, stage and great music. Kept the whole place hopping all night, and was really fun. We got seated exactly when we were told we would be seated, and everyone at the hostess stand was really friendly. The dining room is not huge, but great intimate atmosphere with a really pretty sushi bar overlooking the room. Besides the great atmosphere at Dapur, the FOOD is what really makes this place great particularly the Sushi small combo plates and the Sushi Rolls on the Rolls and Raw bar menu. We started out with a couple great appetizers. THE TOWER, highly recommended to share, jumbo lump crab meat with avocado, Ahi Tuna and crispy rice, all nicely stacked up in, yes, "a tower". Great presentation with delicious sauce on the side. One might ask how to share this dish. Just "bring down the tower" by mashing it all together, take your chop sticks and dig in. Was delicious. THE MASTERPIECE: Seared tuna, sauteed spinach and mushrooms. Outstanding combination. The Scallop Appetizer was out of this world, again, highly recommended, served with sautéed brussel sprouts. This dish is so good, I would of ordered another one. My son ordered some of the best sushi rolls for dinner I ever tasted: Lobster Crunch Roll and THE FANCY, which was tremendous. The Fancy was a California Roll topped with warm Rock Shrimp and a delicious sauce poured over. My wife had the Sea Bass which served with grilled veggies and white rice on the side and she really loved it. I ordered the Crispy Duck with steamed veggies and rice. Do not recommend this dish, because when I order Crispy Duck, yes, it is crispy by virtue of the way most places broil it crispy on the outside, but the outside on this dish seemed fried. Texture was hard, not enjoyable and ruined the dish. I was really surprised. Do not expect the Crispy Duck here to be anything you normally expect in most Asian restaurants, if you are a Crispy Duck fan. The dining service: slow and inconsistent. There was no silverware on the table, only chop sticks, had to keep tracking down the waitress. When we ordered the appetizers, they only delivered the scallops first and before we got the rest, the waitress asked us if we wanted to order. I kept cool and just told her that we wanted the rest of the appetizers then we would order. Just a thing I have. Late night entertainment here is really great after dinner with a great DJ and music, as the meal was getting to the end could not wait to get back to the bar. Besides last night's service here, the place to me was a great night of fun and great food, except for the Duck. I loved Dapur enough to let that part slide, come back and hope the service is better. I have heard their Happy Hours are one of the best, so going to give that a try. I could not give this place 3 stars, I loved it too much. I hope to have a 5 start experience next time.

    Dapur not to be Confused with Dapper! I was just browsing Yelp and I noticed the review of Jeff F. And it brought back some bad memories I have of the place when I visited there over 2 months ago. It was a Sunday and there happy hour menu was in full force. I treated some ladies to some bottles of saki and I surveyed the place for the first time. Cheap fake looking decor. Small dance floor with a couple of couches to the side. A few table tops on one side and then the bar. There are two sections to this place (last I checked my first and only time there) awkwardly seperated. But my main problem was this: After pounding some sake and mingling with other locals for a few hours, I asked the bartender for a beer. And then the bartender, whom I had never really said heidi ho to all evening, bought me the beer! Because he said I had been so nice and bought everyone else drinks all night. Hmmmmm sounds fishy to me so I scanned my check a little bit later. The beer wasn't on there but 3 extra sakes were! I told him, he got mad, and gave me the "I was trying to be nice" speech, and corrected my bill. They seem to have alot of different group events. Be extra careful here if you attend one of those events.

    This is my second time to Dapur and both experiences were equally fantastic. We started with the rock shrimp both times (I have been craving since my first time) and the Masterpiece, which is exactly as described. One of the best things I have every eaten. The sauce is amazing, tuna was perfect and the mushrooms were a great touch. Our server was very attentive, our drinks never empty. My boyfriend got the Lamb and finished every bite. Said the veggies were the best he has ever had. Can't wait to go back. Eddie was an absolute doll and spent time making recommendations of dishes and ensuring we enjoyed everything. Can't wait to go back!!!

    Ducked in with Bernadette to help celebrate a birthday party and was I glad I did, here's why: * I got to enjoy a passed Egg roll finger food that was almost as good as * The Sushi Roll I ate afterwards! It was good too. * Good service * Cool decor * Bernadette has hottie, fun, and generous friends, SCORE! I remember back when this was a Brazilian Joint, I took my mother there for Mother's Day one time. Good stuff, looking forward to returning so I can try more food and maybe award that fifth, coveted STAR. Cabeza On Standby!

    My recommendations: their awesome spring rolls and a few glasses of that delicious Lychee Martini. Bar gets pretty crowded that's the reason for lower stars.

    Tried Dapur for lunch today and completely exceeded my expectations (former NY-er here). Had the chicken dumplings, brussels, coco curry fish and chic pad thai. All get a 5! Delish, tasty and full of flavors. Staff was super friendly and personable and my peach iced tea glass never stayed empty. Can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

  • H. R.

    Nice. Worth a try?...maybe 1 time. Is it an amazing spectacular restaurant that I'm dying to go back to?.....hmmm. no. Dapur is one of those places that is hard to figure out....somewhere between 2 1/2 and 3 stars....with no real image. I swear....Dapur doesn't even know what it is. Sushi?....on the menu.....but absolutely nothing special. Bar/Club style hangout? I mean really.....is this the place you hang out when you live in S.Florida? (Enough said). I have been past this place a 1000 times....actually have my coffee at the Starbucks right across the street...but would have never thought about going in. From the outside...single story brick building...no appeal. Today, we were invited out to Dapur by some friends....so here we go. Pull up...Valet Parking (Nice touch) From the outside, all brick....a little old. Inside.....cool....a little bit of Miami-wanna-be....the bar lit up in pink and aqua blue lighting. To the right.....a separate dining area....darker decor with an Asian flare. Walked in.....hostess was busy. No greeting. Oh....don't get me wrong....No one else was there.....she was just preparing envelopes to be mailed out. No clue what......anyway As I walked by.....I quietly told her my party is already inside....don't think it mattered. Saw my party seated at the table....the dining area has a nice look. Our friends had already ordered a bottle of wine.....the waiter came over.....white wine....oops....but he didn't know how to open a bottle of wine. Not kidding......I mean...I didn't mind.....actually felt bad for the kid and offered to open the bottle.....but he was committed.....and with the help of our friends.....finally got it. Ordered some tapas (short ribs were good)... Brussel sprouts (I usually hate them....but they did a nice job....crispy fried..almost like chips). Without going on too long.....Dapur is o.k. ( the food is ok....the service is ok....the place is ok.) The staff unfortunately seemed completely untrained. Hostess not really alert on our way in or out.... waiter didn't know how to open a bottle of wine.....plates being picked up while eating.... just not professional. So much confusion . Is it worth a try....I would say....maybe once. It's ok.....unfortunately that is all. I really don't get the 4 Star and 5-star ratings at all....but to each his own. Advice for management from a guy who knows nothing about the restaurant business but spends quite a bit at restaurants he likes.....so here is an outsider's opinion for what it's worth..... 1) Remodel the outside to match the inside....so when 100,000 + cars pass by per day...they say...we should try that place. I mean I have coffee every morning across the street and when we were invited tonight.....I didn't even know that it existed. No appeal from the outside. It looks old...even the sign looks old....I honestly never thought the inside would look nice......but it does....now the outside has to match. 2)Train your staff.....you can't sell the image of a fine restaurant with a sloppy staff who look and act confused. This is not a high school part time job training class. When an establishment serves wine.....The staff has to know how to uncork a bottle. Also....do not to pick up entrees while people are still enjoying their meal......and leaning over people to pick up finished plates while people are eating.....well, you know. AND.....When I order Redbull/Vodka.....please explain IN ADVANCE...that you do not have Redbull but offer another energy drink. Because when I tasted the drink that was supposed to be Redbull/Vodka.....it was disgusting. .....and when I asked another waiter....they then explained to me that they do not serve Redbull.......but use another energy drink. Minor problem......that other energy drink tastes like sewer water. Come on.....step it up!!!!! With some management care....this place can be a nice restaurant.....but for now....this is it.

    Worst sushi rolls I ever had in my life, no wonder they have it 2 for 1, and many other specials, empty place! I have no idea how ppl rated it 4*. Probably all 5* are paid. I have worked at the Asian restaurant that use quality products and the food is amazing! Prices are the same as this place! At the Dapur soy sauce was absolutely tasteless, and was served in the nasty oily bottle. I love ginger and even that didn't taste right, probably the cheapest and made with pink coloring. Anyway, they need to improve quality of food if they want to get more business or make customers come back.

    We went there on recommendation from a foodie friend, expectations were high and we weren't disappointed. The interior is well decorated, atmosphere is very modern Asian. The menu: some familiar names (Korean short ribs) and plenty of new ones, miso cod just melts away in your mouth and begs for more. Corkage - $15 and glasses are decent, we won't be bringing our own glasses the next time we go there. Service - second to none. Accidentally I broke the glass and shatters got into my friend's dish. With no problems our server Ruben brought a replacement dish and didn't charge for something what was CLEARLY my fault. The deep fried cheese cake was memorable, good place and the evening to remember. Side note. The prices you see on the website are slightly lower than the actual new ones.

    We celebrated our wedding party at Dapur's recently and invited about 55 people to join in the celebrations. We recommend the roasted brussel sprouts, beef rendang and the lichi martini! Everyone was extremely impressed by the timely service and delicious food. Dapur's is by far one of the best Asian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and we are certainly planning future parties here! Check out some of our pics!

    We have been to this place many times in the last few years. When I realized I haven't written a review I jumped at the chance. The service is quick and friendly, the food is fantastic and they always have some specials on either drinks or food. In terms of the appetizers, my favorite is the spicy tuna tar tar is fantastic! It is unlike anything I have tasted. The rice is like crack. I dream about it after I leave. The himachi jalapeno is my fiance's absolute favorite. It is very and spicy, but delicious. This last time, he got the fried rice and I had the pad thai. Both were warm, fresh and delicious. We will continue to dine here regularly. The bar is always pretty busy, dimly lit and the drinks they serve are fantastic. We have never eaten in there, but it always seems like a fun experience. Great food!

    My friend and I went for brunch last week. First, I asked the server if the unlimited sangria was red sangria and he said yes. It was actually Rose, and when I told him that he still thought Rose and red were the same thing. Since I couldn't drink it, I went to the bloody mary station. The bartender hounded me about a wrist band, which I didn't get from our server. It was only 4 tables in there, so I didn't understand the confusion. I had to go find my server to get a bloody mary. I still got charged for the unlimited even though I told the server I didn't like the sangria I specifically asked about in the beginning. I only had the one drink. The food was ok. The service was below average; not very attentive. The dim sum was overcooked, the pad Thai was edible, but mostly everything tasted like it had been out for a while. I used to work at a hotel, and we used to buy the same pastries they had. I hated the pastries at the hotel and I hated them at Dapur. They do dinner so well, it's unfortunate, but I don't think serving brunch is for everyone.

    Had a great evening all the way around. We showed up on a Saturday night without a reservation and the place was packed. Hostess said it would be about a 25-30 minute wait. We weren't in a hurry, though, so we gave the hostess a cell number to text us when our table was ready and we headed to the bar and had a drink. The bar area was busy, too, and a lot of people were eating dinner at the high-top tables as well as in the 'loungy' sofa seating areas. Even though the bar area was really jumpin,' the staff was quite attentive and there was nice buzz in the place. Looks as if there's a dance floor/karaoke stage that probably gets put to use on less-busy nights of the week, too. After we were seated in the dining room and looked at the menu, we decided to go the 'small plates' route for dinner, i.e., the tapas approach that's offered at Dapur. My date and I had the crispy Brussels sprouts (excellent), the bang-bang scallops (excellent), unbreaded calamari (just ok), Kobe sliders on sticky rice buns (excellent) and a basic Dapur tuna roll from the sushi menu (very good). As indicated above, the only 'miss' during our meal - and it wasn't a major 'miss' - was the calamari. It was just ok. Not bad, just not outstanding like the other items. Calamari was prepared nicely, but it didn't have a lot of flavor to it. Even the sauce on the side was very plain. Kinda tasted like regular mayonnaise. Next time, we'll probably try the tempura battered crispy calamari. Again, not a major issue. The presentation was great on all of the 'small plate' items, too. Everything was very nicely executed and they looked great when they arrived. And all of our 'small plates' were delivered tapas style, meaning that each dish was brought to the table as it was ready. Of course, everything was so good that we emptied each plate almost as soon as it was delivered to our table. Our server was quite knowledgeable about the menu, which was helpful during our ordering. He easily answered several questions that we had while making our selections. All in all, very good dinner and a great experience. Have to mention the decor, too. I suppose I'd call it contemporary/Asian/South Floridian/industrial, if that's an actual design style. (And I know that it isn't...!!!) It's kinda like, 'Miami Vice' South Beach Art Deco meets 1990s sushi restaurant meets small-venue dance club. But it's all very fun and creates a nice atmosphere for an evening of dinner and drinks.

    Great option for a weekend night out. This review is for the restaurant not the bar area. The decor is asian eclectic and has a cool funky vibe. We were a group of 5 and everyone enjoyed the meal. We did true tapas style and ordered a bunch of dishes and shared. The grilled squid was amazing as was the tuna tartare. We shared a bottle of great sake but I can't remember the name. The ladies had a nice chardonnay. I would definitely come back for the food but the service alone would make me come back our waiter was top notch.

    The food they were able to get to us before we got tired of waiting and decided to leave was good - particularly the Brussels sprouts (as others have mentioned). We were served some of our food after a considerable wait, but then nothing else arrived. Unfortunately our server Erik M was not very attentive and actively seemed to be avoiding us once the meal went awry. Once we intercepted him and asked him where the rest of our food was (after a 45 minute wait, and no they were not packed, and yes the tables around us who were seated after us were served before we were), he said the kitchen was backed up. No further explanation, no apology, no offer of something to tide us over until the undetermined time when we'd be getting the rest of our meal (actually we never got the rest of our order). We kept waiting and waiting and waiting until finally we decided we needed more food and we weren't going to get it there so we had to leave. We told Erik this and he said he'd send the manager over; the manager never appeared. Owner (manager?) was milling around the hostess desk as I tried to get change for the valet; he did not seem very interested in managing the business, he was being videotaped for some news segment. From what you hear in the media, the economy is in trouble. These people acted like it was my privilege to be there. Extra disappointing because we were hosting a dear friend from out of town. We will not be back.

    Just. Not. Very. Good. Papaya Salad was best in show. Crispy Eggplant was basically a tempura style dish. It was ok. Miso Cod? Overcooked. Korean Short Ribs? You kidding me? Where was the meat??? Drama Queen Roll? Ok. Cry Baby Roll? Ok. The food matched the decor... which was... Just. Not. Very. Good. (NOTE #1: Corkage fee only $15) (NOTE #2: We sat by the "sushi bar". There were times when the finished sushi product sat on the counter for literally 10 minutes before a waitress would come to pick up same... that's an awful long time!)

    Second time here for dinner...this time was a group of 4. I can't think of anything to complain about. The parking is simple, the décor very nice and the atmosphere seems vibrant, upscale yet welcoming. We had 8 dishes. Brussels sprouts - very good. Calamari - this time fried but still good. Korean ribs - very well done. Scallops were excellent. Crispy eggplant was fresh and crispy. Papaya salad was tasty and a huge portion. Rock Shrimp was so good....couldn't stop eating. Kobe sliders melted in your mouth. Then dessert was chocolate dark volcano and fried bananas with ice cream. Perfect. Service was on point as we asked each dish to be brought out in 5 minute increments...and they did it. Asian tapas...I highly recommend Dapur.

  • Michelle J.

    If you go to the restaurant side, the service is wonderful. If you go to the lounge side the service is good WHEN they get to you. I love the food at Dapur, but every time I go to the lounge the wait for service is pretty ridiculous. If you choose the lounge, be prepared to wait. Maybe if it's just you and one other you can sit at the bar and get your drinks more quickly. On food alone I have to give it 4 stars. Even if you think you don't like brussel sprouts, order theirs. You will not regret it. I have yet to order an item I didn't like. A friend I recently went with said their scallops were some of the best she's had. Also, they send out, via snail mail, great coupons for birthdays and for being a patron, which is always nice and they have a special every night in the lounge area...so you'd think they'd increase staff.

    My husband brought me here for Mother's Day and it was amazing! The waiter described it as a Tapas style eatery so my husband ordered a bit of everything for our table of 4 adults. We started with the calamari which was lightly fried and served with an incredible sauce and the spring rolls which were also delicious. But the highlight of the appetizers was definitely the "Hot Tower" which was absolutely amazing! All were incredible and very appropriately sized. We then ordered 5 sushi rolls and all were fantastic. I would highly recommend them all, but my favorite was Fancy Roll, which is a California Roll with dynamite sauce. We then had the Sea Bass and even though we were all full, after taking one bite, it too disappeared completely! It was one of the best seafood dishes I've ever had and had the texture of butter as it flaked the second the fork got near it. We finished with the chocolate volcano cake with green tea ice cream and ate every single bite. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was very comfortable and trendy. The only dish we didn't love was the rice pudding, but I am convinced that it was a mistake. All said, it was an incredible restaurant that I'd recommend to anyone and I can't wait for our next visit!

    I really like this place, especially for HH. The main bar and lounge area is awesome - DJ spinning, room for dancing, good lighting. The staff is really nice (I wouldn't mind if they threw a girl ortwo behind the bar now and then, but that's just a personal preference), the food is great and so are the drinks - lots of signature offerings. The food has an Asian slant and is very well executed - lots of original sushi rolls, charred brussel sprouts, Asian seasoned edamame, etc. The best part is HH though - lots of $5-6 food and beverage offerings - and it's 7 days a week. It's a little out of the way on Federal around 18th St, but worth a visit. Good spot for before or after the movies at AMC by Target, btw.

    This restaurant is AMAZING! My father heard about it through a friend of his. We looked it up online and it said that the chef specializes in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine. As me and my family are Indonesian, we HAD to try it because we had never found a restaurant with our cuisine before in our area, and my father cooks Indonesian food 6 out of 7 nights of the week. So needless to say, we had very high hopes and expectations and were not disappointed. We went with a group of 9, as I have a large family and we met some family friends. We had a reservation and were sat immediately upon arrival on a Saturday night. This restaurant has two parts to it. One side is to the left of the entrance and there is a full bar with some high tops dispersed and then a very cool lounge looking looking area with a dance floor and music (which got pretty busy as the night went on!) The other part of the restaurant is the main dining room, where we were seated. Note: the main dining room also has two very large banquet style rooms directly off of the dining room that were set up for large parties and they looked wonderful. The ambience in the restaurant is lovely, not too loud and not to quiet, not too bright and not too dark. The decor is very Asian style with cool chandeliers and warm, colorful lighting. And the patrons are even nice. My father was chatting it up with a couple directly next to our table for about ten minutes. So the feel inside the restaurant is very inviting. Now, for the food. We started off ordering 3 appetizers. The calamari, an eel roll, and chicken dumplings (panfried, 4 per serving). The calamari was gone in about 2.5 seconds it was that good. I don't eat sushi but my brother got the eel roll and let's just say he was hoarding it from the rest of the table. And the chicken dumplings...... The absolute best I have ever tasted in my entire life. I want to be clear. After ordering them the first time I ordered them a second time. And then a third time. Yes, 3 servings of them. On top of my meal. They were that good. Later on a our guests ordered the fried eggplant, I tried some and it was the perfect crispness. For our meals, my family and I were all very excited about the menu. There are SO many options! And we had seen some classic Indonesian dishes like beef semur and beef rendang. I ordered the beef rendang which is a slow marinated semi-spicy beef dish served with white rice, also comes with vegetables. I don't want to say that it was better than my fathers, but it was just as good. You could cut the beef with your fork it was that tender, with a shredded consistency. Very very flavorful. I also tried the fried rice that someone else got and it wasn't the typical fried rice, which made it so good, they've got the own spin on it and it's really worth a try. There were 9 different people at this table and I swear the entire dinner between bites we couldn't stop raving about how good this food was. Other dishes that my guests got and loved: the lamb and the steak. We had two birthdays at the table and for dessert they brought out chocolate cake like things served w chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream w sparklers and it was so sweet! The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and portions of the food. Good large portions. The service was great too, our server was very warm and even though there were 9 loud and sometimes inattentive people she was great! Overall this restaurant was such a lovely and refreshing dining experience, definitely recommend!

    Came here with the groupon which is a GREAT deal. I'm always a little suspicious of groupons, some restaurants act weird about them, others have tons of small print, and what you think you're getting is much different than what you actually get. But here was just as it listed: any 2 drinks and 3 small plates for 2 people. 1.) the rock shrimp- this was a large portion of Tiger shrimp and shiitake mushroom tempura the side of spicy mayo for dipping gave it a little kick (plus spicy mayo is my favorite!) 3.) bang bang scallops - this came with three scallops perfectly cooked (which is hard to say about scallops- either they're too chewy or not cooked enough but these were just right) with Brussel sprouts.. The highlight of this dish is the sauce in all its creamy soy sauce, garlic, buttery, sake glory. I wanted to dip everything we received in this sauce that's how good it was. I don't even eat Brussel sprouts ... In fact, I hate them! But with this sauce they tasted delicious! - the bartender suggested the spicy tuna tar tar... Of the three this was actually my least favorite. Although the tuna was good and the jalapeño garnish intrigued me, the "rice cake" tasted a bit stale. I was expecting it to be crunchy but it just seemed a little chewy and hard like it was old or maybe had been sitting out too long. - we decided to order the booster roll which had shrimp tempura, cucumber, asparagus, cream cheese, and dynamite topping. I love their dynamite! The spicy mayo was delicious and the cucumber gave it a nice crunch. - our drinks were equally DELICIOUS I had a forever young martini which had blueberry acaii and pomegranate, the boyfriend had the autumn which was a pear flavored beverage... not sure what was in it but it was very refreshing! -the atmosphere was cool! Kind of slow for Sunday night happy hour. The lounge was a little simple but had good bar lighting and a club vibe...it made you feel like you were out and about instead of just having dinner in any old dining room. Seems to be a fun place for weekend nights and private parties they even have "lounge deals" listed online, - the service was great: the hostess and bartender were nice and very accommodating even though we came late. We arrived around 9:15, unfortunately open table lists that they close at 11 but on Sunday's they actually close at 10. Although they didn't make us feel rushed, we knew they probably wanted to get out of there on time so we ate quickly... Nobody wants to be "those people". I wish open table would have listed the correct times, date night comes far and few between so having to rush to eat was a little bit of a downer. All in all we had a great experience and I would definitely come back!

    I was here last night for a birthday party. The parking was plentiful, the staff were friendly and all greeted us warmly. The happy hour is on till 8 and is available 7 days a week. I had the lycheetini. We were served delicious sushi, dumplings, and spring rolls. The music was great; as well as not too overpowering so we could still have conversations. I saw a cute little restaurant area which I may try on my next visit here.

    We visited Dapur early this evening for dinner (my husband, 2 year old daughter, and myself). We've driven by the restaurant countless times, and finally had the opportunity to stop in. Wow!...so happy we did! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Our server, Andrew (if I got that wrong, a thousand apologies, because our server definitely deserved kudos) was incredibly friendly and helpful...and very efficient, which is greatly appreciated by our toddler. We tried the Brussels sprouts (super delicious), papaya salad (so flavorful and light), scallops (not my favorite, but my husband loved them), Rock shrimp (my definite favorite), ceviche (so much fish! What a pleasant surprise! Yum), and the tropical tuna (again, super flavorful). I also ordered a slice of the passion fruit pie to take home (it just sounded too interesting to pass up). The pie was really lovely, and the accompanying strawberry sauce was the perfect touch. All in all, it was truly a delightful experience...beautiful, fresh flavors served with the Midwestern charm of our fantastic server. Looking forward to returning.

    I have only been here for happy hour, but oh what a wonderful happy hour it is. In fact I am craving their Mega Dapur Slider so much that I will be returning tomorrow to have some more. Those little things are cooked to perfection. The beef is DELICIOUS! and the rice buns are to die for!. The Brussel sprouts are succulent and their cocktails are quite good too!

    I went here for the first time last week for lunch. I am a big fan of Asian tapas. I will review each item we ordered: -Korean short ribs where good ( though I thought a little over cooked) - Roti was excellent - tuna tar tar- was excellent (though I wish my rice cracker was a was a little smaller and crispier) - Rock shrimp - was excellent.My favorite thing on the menu! - surf and turf sushi roll- was good but next time I will order without the cream cheese The service was top rate. Our server Drew attended to all our needs. He was polite and professional. I give the food a solid 3.5 but our service bumps the whole experience to a 4. Will definitely visit again.

    The only disappointing thing about this restaurant is that my wife and I had not tried it sooner. We started with the Bang Bang Scallops, three U8 to U10 scallops with halved Brussels Sprouts in a garlic miso butter. They were so fantastic we ordered another one with a side of jasmine rice to soak up the sauce. And that is how I recommend you order it, unless you're on a low-carb diet, then I recommend just using a spoon. And, before I go on to something else, imagine a rich miso soup with crisp fried garlic tossed with steamed tender Brussels sprouts and huge scallops. I was surprised to see these "Bang Bang" mollusks weren't bathed in tempura batter as in the "Bang Bang" Shrimp we will soon tire of at other eateries. I confess I ordered them thinking that was what I was going to get but thankfully, Dapur's intelligent branding saved me from myself (or at least an extra 200 calories and 20 grams of fat). The next-best thing we had was the Hot Tuna Tower - a nice use of alliteration - that is founded on jasmine rice, Haas avocado slices, a crab mayonnaise salad, topped with spiced and diced tuna. The Eggplant small plate was good but the least of our favorites. Korean short ribs were tasty. My wife loved them. Cocktails: The Forever Young martini with Absolut Acai, Veev Acai liqueur, Pom Wonderful et al was excellent. The Dartmoor was excellent as well. A top shelf gin martini with cucumber, St Germain Elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon. We knew Edi from Galanga had opened this but we were remiss in following him here. The quality is extraordinary in food and the service was excellent also, even though our server was new. At least, when he couldn't answer our questions he came back quickly with an answer. The busser Tuesday night July 29 was exceptional. He filled our waters countless times, wiped our table, and cleared our plates. In service, what you are aware of, you produce. And he was definitely aware of us throughout our visit. Give that busboy a raise! We discovered too late for this visit that they have a Tuesday special of BOGO sushi. I've heard the Lobster Crunch Roll is a favorite. As I put on my sunglasses to leave, I said, "I'll be back".

    Fellow Celiacs beware! I was excited to see online that they have a gluten free menu on their website, however the incorrect spelling "glutten free" should have been my first warning. We ate during a very slow time, just a few tables were occupied, thinking they would have extra time to ensure my order was correct. We started with the chicken dumplings, which came out with fried onions, which one server said was gluten free and another claimed they were not, so those were sent back. Then came the royal tuna, which I requested gluten free without the fried jalapeño, as the menu suggests. The sushi came out with a spicy mayo which could not be confirmed as gluten free. So we sent it back to be made without the sauce. To top it off, and end the night they brought it back claiming again "gluten free" only to find they remade it with friend jalapeño when I bit into it! Never got to the main dish... What a fail!

    I'm a big sushi enthusiast and absolutely love Asian food so Dapur is definitely the place to be at! Beginning with the food the tapas that are finger licking good include the ceviche. What makes it so great is that it's made with sushi grade fish, none of that tilapia only stuff. The hot tower is incredible the texture is surprising and intricately delicious Rock shrimp made me do a happy dance in my chair!!!!!!!! It's to die for! Fried calamari e is so different And delicious! I'm the type of person that likes sweet foods and that is just what the calamari e is a nice sweet and tangy taste! I really enjoy that there is two sections to the restaurant a lounge club vibe with modern drinks and the sit down dinner side. Definitely appreciate the Dj they put on the weekends. All the servers I have gotten so far are terrific! So sweet and may I say hot!!!!

    Was dying to check this place out. Got right in on a Saturday night. Food was really good. Service was horrible. 10 minutes to be greeted. By the time the waiter got to the table we put in one glass of wine, one beer. 5 minutes later the waiter comes back in the section. No drinks in hand. Then he comes back and had to confirm my glass of wine. Another 5 minutes no drinks. Finally we receive our drinks. Food took a while they forgot we ordered black miso cod. Then tgey forgot out fried rice. I asked for a spoon from the bus boy. Nothing. Asked our waiter he forgot. I had to remind him if people have food you always deal with them first. Worst staff ever

    Night Club/ Thai place Thai place/Night Club. Not sure yet what Dapur is, either way 9 bucks for two pot stickers (or close to that) is a bit much for that type of appetizer. The food was about par or below Thai standard. However, the atmosphere is cool and inviting with great bartending service.

    I have only tried the Sunday brunch, but it was very good. It is buffet style, but they also have Dim Sum, Sushi, a omelette station, and waffle station. They serve bottomless Sangria, Mimosa, and Bloody Mary's for only $14/pp. The price for brunch is very good also. I would definitely go again.

    As a huge fan of tapas, Dapur was a good place to come for them, just not a great place. Dapur is located in a weird area, and not a very good location. We had a reservation for the evening hour and was seated right away even though we got caught in traffic and showed up almost an hour late. The service was pretty strong and accomodating at Dapur. Came over a lot to checkup on us, refilled the drinks constantly, and came over and cleared the table promptly. The restaurant is split in half between a dining area, and a bar/dance club area. We sat in the dining area, which was a modern feel with a fusion of Asian inspirations, very nice overall. Their are a good amount of choices to choose from, all at okay prices. We tried the Brussel Sprout, Stuffed Tofu, Korean Short-ribs, Chicken Satay, Mandarin Chicken, Beef Semur. The Korean Short-ribs were by far my favorite, very flavorful, and a must try. For dessert we got the Crispy Sexy (Fried Cheesecake), and All Time Favorite (Deep Fried Bananas). Both were very good, but both very heavy especially for desserts. Overall, the food was pretty tasty, just not the best I've ever had. I would say that Dapur is a good place for tapas. Service is solid and the atmosphere is very nice, it just lacks an x-factor to make itself standout from other places. Nevertheless, if you are in the mood for a tapas style meal, and Dapur is close by, must be worth a try. Food (B), Pricing (C), Atmosphere (B+), Service (B+)

    This place is amazing...it looks small from the outside but inside is so awesome!! Started with the edemame which was delicious, then had the yuca and steak with teriyaki sauce so yummy. Also had the surf and turf roll which has everything amazing inside. Owner Edi is so sweet and welcoming. They also sometimes have a dj spinning deep house music on weekends or brunch. This is place is a must try!!

  • Ashley V.

    The service was one of the worst I've seen. I kept asking for a cocktail list to try one of their signature martinis, they said they couldn't find one so I had my usual. The food is overrated and pricey. The sliders were pretty good, although very greasy. It only comes with 2 for $15! Had to order 2 dishes for the 4 of us. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic but they give you a small bowl. I mean it's called tapas and yet the plate sizes were so small to share. They push you to share plates of course. Thankfully we ordered 2 main dishes. The chicken pad Thai was not as amazing as they say. We ordered this steak that was the best dish the entire night. Also very loud and is a club on the other side. Overall were not coming back. Wasn't worth the money and it's not anywhere near us.

    Beautiful decorating. Steep prices. Even with some kind of groupon deal or something, my friend and I racked up such a high bill (although taken care of for the purchased deal), that just paying the tip was pricey. I probably won't be back on my own dime. But yes, the sushi type dishes we had were unusual and tasty. But no, I probably won't be back...

    Now keep in mind that I live in Chicago so my expectations are a little high. Nevertheless, I will try to be as fair as possible. I was arranging a little party for a family reunion. Part of the family lives in FLL, part in London, part in Mumbai and we in Chicago. Julieanne was the manager who helped set everything up. I have to say she was absolutely amazing. The appetizers we ordered were the spring rolls and stuffed tofu. The spring rolls were some of the best I have had. Stuffed tofu was alright. The restaurant gave us complimentary edamame (which were seasoned with some Asian sauces and just out of this world) and some Brussel sprouts which were great too. The food was the weak point. We ordered various dishes from the leg of lamb and some beef dish both of which were dry to vegetarian pad thai noodles which too had an ok flavor. Julianne was upfront over the phone and said she hadn't done a family style service before but I have to say, the service was absolutely impeccable. The main server, Alfredo; kudos to him. Professional and knowledgeable about everything. Took great care of us. Over all, I wouldn't do dinner here again but would love to try drinks here at their more relaxed bar.

    All the great reviews hype me up, but what a huge let down! Over-priced mediocre Asian food in a setting that caters to people who care more about fancy decor than good food. Sorry, I care about my food, not just looking good but tasty as well, and the place simply doesn't measure up to the better Thai, Japanese, or Indonesian places I've been to in S Florida. The brussel sprouts is quite tasty, and we did enjoy the bakwan (kind of like tempura crab cake). The Dapur Green was just a slightly upscale version of the salad you usually get for free at Japanese restaurants. We tried the beef rendang, a very traditional Indonesian dish, and definitely it doesn't measure up to others we've tried. We ordered several other dishes, as the portions are so small, but nothing to write home about. End up when the bill came, we were in for a nasty shock. The service was awful. The waitress asked us what we wanted to drink, and we asked her for the drink menu. When we asked for spoons to share the desserts, after a long wait she brought one spoon, and it was another 10 min before we can flag down someone to bring us more spoons. Also, she brought something we didn't order and still billed us for it after we pointed out the mistake.

    Not a really big fan, decor was great. My girlfriend and I are huge foodies and we are visiting from Chicago. Sushi was not made properly...rice seemed smashed and rolled, and the actual sushi fell apart when picked up. I had ordered pad Thai and it was more sweet and fishy than what a pad Thai I had ever eaten before. We own two restaurants in Chicago and we do authentic Asian cuisines from Chinese to southern Asian food like Thai and Vietnamese food. Everything we ordered was just eh. EXCEPT the small plate of Brussels sprouts. That was the only great plate. Service was ok. Waiter forgot us for a bit, had to ask the manager to grab the check for us. I don't think ft lauderdale knows sushi or Asian dining. Definitely not authentic.

    I can't say enough great things about this place. It has a great bar with a DJ attached, as well as a rocking restaurant that serves up great sushi, and noodle dishes that keep me coming back. The dynamite shrimp appetizer is covered in some sort of mayonaise spicy sause that if I knew how to make, I wouldn't leave the house. Free valet, great service, and a great variety of asian food!

    I am surprised this place has as many high reviews as it does. Maybe my wife and I hit them on a bad night but it was early and we tried 4 different selections at the bar. Literally were unedible. We paid, left and went elsewhere for dinner.

    Food is consistently good. Yes, the portions can be small, hence Asian Tapas... but are by no means skimpy. Weeknights are quiet enough that you can have a romantic dinner date. Weekends are way busier and louder...more suited to groups and parties.. The drink to have is the Dartsmoor. Happy hour is a great deal... sit at the bar and try all of those favorite small plates for $2-3 less than regular menu price for the same serving size. I love this place! Must try the tuna tartar and brussels sprouts.

    The first time I went to Dapur Asian Tapas Lounge years ago it was at the recommendation of a friend to host our annual Christmas party. I look back on that day fondly because it brought me to one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I now visit for lunch or dinner every month sometimes 2-3 times in a month. I absolutely love their small plates. I love to share food so this place is heaven for me. Their Crispy Brussels sprouts, the Roti with curry sauce and Edamame as a MUST TRY for everyone. Trust me you will dream of the day you can return and order those three items. Each time I go with a friend we order those three plates AND a different side each time. Everything I have tried is well done but still go back to my three favorite plates. Highly recommended. Fast friendly service, with nice atmosphere and décor. I recently went to a happy hour and tried there delicious incredibly price drinks! I have died and gone to heaven twice. Simply delicious well made with fresh ingredients. Also the small plates are half price so win win. A must try you won't regret it.

    I went last weekend and fell in love this restaurant. I tried six different tapas items and they were all delicious. The owner came out to say hi and he was a sweetheart.

    Wizard of Dapur does it again. Every time I stop by there's always some thing new (lights/decor/new drinks). I decided to stop by when I heard a new menu was being introduced. I counted at least 8 new dishes. Three must try new dishes: "Yuca and steak", the "Sunkiss" and the "Masterpiece" A few words about each: I was surprised to find yuca in the menu, but apparently it's quite Indonesian. Tender thin slices of steak resting atop lightly fried yuca - it's a nice combination of protein and healthy carbs. Delicate, fresh and tender are the best ways to describe the Sunkiss. It's sprinkled with little herbs and seasonings. Great as an appetizer or one of their tapas dishes, refreshing and light. Definitely try the Masterpiece - proportioned piece of seared tuna atop shiitake mushrooms and lightly cooked spinach. There's a faint hint of smokiness (perhaps when they seared the tuna?) along with a sweet savory sauce. I'm glad my favorites were not removed (as I almost always get these whenever I'm there): Dartsmor cocktail, and the spicy tuna tartare. Because of dropping temperatures, I also asked for the oxtail soup. I hadn't had one in a long time; it was like meeting an old friend - familiar, flavorful and nutritious. I had forgotten how much flavor it brought to my lips. The meat just falls off the bone.

    Dapur is a hidden gem and when you once you enter you are greeted by a friendly and lovely hostess. There is a beautiful bar area to relax at before or after dining or one can just have tasty appetizers there or the surrounding table tops. There's a cozy soda area to also relax at and eat, drink or chat. The restaurant is busy but organized with friendly staff. The menu is diverse and food is very flavorful. Great presentation. The owner is usually there greeting guests and ensuring they have a good experience. As a local, this is definitely one of my favorite spots!! Oh and great happy hours and events here!!

    This place is great...the food is delicious ..the bar is just gorgeous! You must try it! My husband and I have now visited this restaurant at least 15 times. Why you say? Because the food is fabulous, love the atmosphere, people are great and service is terrific. The hot tuna tower is to die for, the brussel sprouts delicious any tuna dishes they have are wonderful, sushi is tasty and very fresh. I have a sensitive stomach in this restaurant has never disappointed me and that says a lot for this foodie. If you've never tried it come for happy hour you have to sit in the bar and they have discount drinks and appetizers yum! I will tell you the music can be loud on the bar side --come early for happy hour if you mind that. And they always have Groupons so that's a great way to try it.

    We ate here on Saturday night, it's a cool place with a lively bar. The food was very good, some things a little pricy for the amount you get; everything is served in small portions, so it's great to share and try lots of things. We especially liked the rock shrimp, black cod, and fried rice. The dining room was getting pretty loud by 8:30, so we were glad we had an early reservation. Free valet parking is a plus!

  • Alba M.

    I went to have dinner to this restaurant following the good reviews, expecting much MUCH more. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because the service was good, our waitress was so concerned and trying to help, I felt bad. Their chicken pad thai was so bad, we had to return it. Their fried rice didn't even had color, it was not good the only good thing we had was the edamame, which doesn't have a science... It may be that it is a better lounge than restaurant because it does get packed.

  • Christina S.

    We went to Dapur for my friends birthday and I have to say I was not impressed at all. First off they only do valet parking. It's definitely not in a location that would require valet making it just plain dumb. Let me park where I want to park especially if you are in a shopping center. Second the prices were ridiculous. The portions were small and not very tasty, I would have to say the best thing I had was the crab roll that my friend ordered. I ordered the pad thai and it wasn't all that flavorful. The positives I would say is that the place is a cool environment and our server was good. Not great, but good. I don't think I am going back any time soon for expensive mediocre food.

  • Sasha C.

    The appetizer took forever to come. While I was waiting, all I heard was the cackling of the hostesses and the waiter trashing patrons, me included. I guess I didn't look like their normal clientele, you can read into that what you want. The beef redang was cold and the rice was mealy at best. I expected to find ice cubes in my beef redang. I will never go back there for any reason. It's terrible.

    Huge space, fun vibe. I completely didn't expect the inside when standing outside at valet. We dined there early on a Saturday night, but I'm sure it picks up later in the evening. Food was great. We loved the brussel sprouts, hot tower, tuna tartar with watermelon, and braised mushrooms. The menu is huge with lots of different flavor combinations. We'll definitely return.

    Terribly mediocre and unoriginal. I don't understand why they opened such a big place with dramatic space, and such a boring menu. For lack of anything that stood out on the menu, we ordered Pad Thai, and Chicken Fried Rice. .... zzzzz.... It was lame. I didn't bother to finish my Pad Thai, and I usually eat everything, or at least take it home. The waiter came over and asked me if I was done. I asked if the food had MSG in it. He protested oh no! He then should have asked me if I didn't like my dish, or if there was something he could do. He didn't ask though. He just put it in a to-go box, without even asking if I wanted to take it home. The best thing about this place was the giant gold buddha. Poke your head in to take a look, and check out the decor around the bar, then go get your food somewhere else. Very disappointing.

    So we've been living in Southern Florida for ten months now, and with so many restaurants to choose from -- and 20 lbs. to prove it! -- Dapur is one that we keep meaning to hit, but, for one reason or another, keep passing by. A couple of good friends of our's have mentioned this as one of their faves, so, alas, we finally gave-in and made a jaunt to this Asian tapas bar/restaurant. Once entered, the friendly hostess gave us some table choices (which we then chose) and handed us our food and beverage menus. The cavern-like interior leans on the masculine side, with dark colors, dark ceramic, textured floor tiles, and an overall industrial-look. Although the lighting was on the dark-side, we had absolutely no problem reading our menus. The whole vibe reminded me of a nightclub/disco. After taking our seats, it turned out that the table was seriously lopsided, so we sat ourselves at a smaller empty table nearby. (It was funny because after mentioning this to one of the staff -- the lopsided table -- thinking they'd take care of adjusting it, nothing was ever done about it. Fortunately, it wasn't very busy, so it remained empty for the rest of our dinner.) Not being familiar with Dapur's food, we decided to take the tapas route and simply order a few small dishes, along with a main entree, to share. To start, I asked if they served hot green tea, to which our waiter said no; however, he rattled off a few other kinds of tea, including a Ginger tea which we ordered. To our surprise, when he returned with our hot teas, it was simply Stash-brand bagged tea -- one bag each -- along with medium-hot (not steeping hot) water. (I'm not a snob, but for $3 a cup, you'd think he'd've told me that they served bagged tea. One bag each. That's it. Nonetheless, he brought us a second serving of (again) medium-hot water, for which we simply had to reuse our old, diluted tea bags. Egads!) We ordered -- everything all at once -- and left it to the waiter to decide on how he wanted to bring it out (all at once, or piecemeal). We ordered the Korean short ribs ($10 -- in Hawaii, we called it "Galbi," with the "g" pronounced like a "k"), the grilled calamari ($12), the Wakame (seaweed) salad ($5), and (as the entree) the Pangsit noodle dish ($15 -- which I mistook, for some crazy, unknown reason as the Filipino dish, "pancit" -- one of my favorite dishes as a child in Hawaii). Anyway, the orders went in, and within what seemed like only several minutes, the Korean short ribs arrived. It was beautifully presented; however, upon closer inspection, we were more than a bit taken aback at how meager the four pieces of so-called short ribs were in size! Each piece was (I swear!) no larger than a silver dollar -- maybe, barely! -- with a good 40% of it being the bone! (I had to laugh because if this were Korea, an appetizer, er, "small dish," this size would've been scandalous!) Being that the elongated dish that it was served on was merely a decoy of sauce to give this meal a visually large scale was quite the amusement, indeed...! That said, the sauce was quite delicious, although the pieces of short ribs were on the chewy side. (Obviously, this breaks down to $2.50 per silver dollar-sized rib (with bone). It barely tickled our bellies. Bloop!) After that, everything came in swift succession. Next was the grilled calamari.... A full-sized squid, grilled and cut-up in bite-sized pieces. Straightforward and totally flavorful in the simplest of primitive ways. Like it was just caught, grilled over a charcoal fire, and sliced for eating. Very fine and worth it's price. (It also came with two small dollops of a mildly spicy mayonnaise for dipping.) The Wakame salad was very underwhelming, as it was simply the kind of fluorescent green seaweed that you'd buy at any Publix grocery store. It was, however, jazzed-up with some thin-sliced cucumbers, and piled into a mound to give it some girth. (Hey, for $5, what can you expect, eh...? I suppose I was dreaming about the pink seaweed salad I used to have at Sakura Japanese restaurant in San Francisco.... Oh, my, that was devine...!) Finally came the Pangsit, which, at the very least, was a meal-sized portion. It was really quite tasty, with fine savory flavors. The only negative aspect was that the dish was served with its shrimps still bearing their shelled tails. In my opinion, it's simply laziness to not remove the shells. All-in-all, it was a decent, but underwhelming, meal. I really liked the decor. The wait staff was wholly professional and fast. The check even came with a breakdown of three tipping amounts (for "good," "very good," and "outstanding"), which we both found to be very amusing and made it easy to calculate...! (As a prologue: The next day I made mushroom and green onion steamed rice, with butter-grilled baby asparagus, and baked, Panko-breaded barramundi fillets. Now THIS was a meal to stay home for...!) :D

    ok let me start by saying that I lived with a Dutch Indonesian partner for 4 years and learned all the intricacies of Indonesian cooking & spices. I also traveled to Malaysia, Borneo, and Singapura to experience the food and flavors of SE Asia. Dapur captures the essence of this region with authentic dishes and unique presentations. This is our second visit and it keeps getting better. The eggplant, brussel sprouts, fried calamari with spicy sweet sour dip, and spider roll were more than adequate appetizers for 3 people (remember this is a TAPAS establishment) and were all extremely tasty. The Beef Rendang (picture Indonesian Pot Roast) and Lemon Grass Chicken (grilled, sliced, and sprizzled with Dapur brown sauce) rounded the sharing and were again very tasty and sufficient for 3 people (however next time I will follow waiter Tom's suggestion and have the Goreng instead). I can also recommend from previous dining that the Crispy Duck, Sea Bass, Chicken Satay, Lobster Roll, Passion Fruit Pie, and Chocolate Volcano are also worth trying and will not disappoint. If you are new to this type of menu, then by all means ASK YOUR WAITER - he knows what the chef is specializing in tonight (there are 3) and will want you to have a good experience. I must say, I asked Tom to select a dessert for us and he was spot on with the Crispy Sexy (Fried Cheese Cake with Green Tea Ice Cream) and next time we must try the Ginger Ice Cream. Oh yes, if you do not drink neat, than the house selection of wine is very adequate for those who fear previous admonitions of weak & watered down drinks but I doubt the veracity of previous admonitions. If subdued lighting is a problem, request a table with a spot light to better peruse the menu. The service was fast and timely, water constantly refilled without asking, plates cleared seamlessly and without delay, entrees followed immediately after apps and was fresh and hot. Dessert spoons and plates set out after table cleared and before dessert presentation. As for the fare -- about $133 for 3 with 4 glasses of wine including tip. I have seen far more overpriced tabs for more mediocre servings at other 'tourist traps' -- lets hope the tourist don't ruin the ambiance of Dapur with their limited dining knowledge and comments. If this still sounds too pricey, then drop in at Happy Hour until 8:00 to save on Tapas and drinks. I only wish they had Krupuk!!!

    Beware the hype of a brand new restaurant opening. I know it's tempting to run out and be the first of your friends to try a new place. You want the bragging rights. You're known amongst your peers as someone who knows all the great places to dine around town. It's tempting....don't do it. Why? Because nine times out of ten, the restaurant is still finding it's stride and working out the kinks. That being said, I fell for it. I marched right out to dapur last night with a friend to give it a test drive. "It's the new Galanga...." they say. Now I am not a huge Galanga fan to start (more on that later) but I do love asian tapas and the friend who raved about it was enthusiastic. Let's start with the good. In order to be a good restaurant you must have great food. On this point, dapur delivers. We tried a number of different small plates and there wasn't a loser in the bunch. The korean bbq short ribs were great. I even picked them up to gnaw of every last bit of tasty rib meat. The rock shrimp roll and appetizer were awesome. The yellowtail appetizer was flaky, moist and delicious. I even liked the Bang Bang Scallops served over brussel sprout leaves. And I HATE brussel sprouts. The ceviche was presented in perfection. Loved it all. The decor is well done. Save for a red booth on a purple/maroon wall. It just looked like a strange color choice considering the rest of the establishment. Great water feature outside. Funky chandeliers on the entrance. A massive gorgeous raw driftwood framed mirror when you walk in. It feels like a San Fran open air funky asian diner. There are even two rooms that have some nice partitions where I assume you can have a private event. The table service was great. Our server was awesome. He did the best he could with the situation at hand....and here is where it's wise to wait. Apparently they were short a bartender. On a Friday night. With a packed restaurant. He was upfront and told us the scoop. However at that point we should have known to steer clear of the fancy drink menu. 30 mins later we were regretting our error. Our poor server kept checking in with us and giving us an update but dinner on a Friday night without a cocktail makes dinner guests grumpy. Another 15 mins. Finally we tell him to bring us a bottle of wine, an opener and three glasses. Oh and PS our server was just adorable but not in the "young boy twinkie" way that they are at the "other" place. If dapur wants to attract the Galanga crowd, they are on the right track. BUT the main reason I won't go to Galanga is slow service. And I mean EPIC slow service. Like 1:45 to eat lunch epic service slow. if dapur wants a differentiation this is the biggest opportunity they have. Eliminate this issue and they will be big winners. And PS if worked last night I would be all up in the bartender who called off last nights business. Because, bitch, you better have been dying or run over by the Green Hopper to leave us short on a Friday night!!

    I've been to Dapur many times before and I will keep on going! The eclectic menu satisfies my hunger every time. The service is amazing. The manager was very kind and attentive. She would always come to our table to see how everything was. I never have a complaint. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good sushi roll, especially on Tuesdays with buy one get one sushi roll for free! If you are just looking to have a drink, the bar and lounge is awesome! The happy hour special is right in my pricee range! The bartenders make great drinks, my favorite being the dartsmoor. They make you feel at home and are great to have conversations with! Dapur is an overall great restaurant to have a great experience or night out

    We really admire this place and thought it was a great find on our first visit. So much so that we even took out of town guests and they really enjoyed it too. That's why I am severely disappointed with our visit today. We ordered the rock shrimp, a fav since our first visit, only to find a long hair in it. Unfortunately it made it to my mouth before I discovered it. I understand stuff happens but to not even get an apology from mgmt or even have that plate comped was unsatisfactory. For that reason alone we will not be patronizing this establishment any longer.

    I hate brusselsprouts but this place made a ridiculously awesome version as an appetizer. I was disappointed with the tangerine mojito but the gin and tonic was top-notch. Pad-thai was decent. Bathrooms were spotless but the entryway is awkwardly open to the bar. Overall not a bad spot. Worth a try for sure....

    All the food was really good and the setting is very nice to match, nice to the point where it almost throws you off that the place is right off of US1, they also have a decent DJ on the weekends. If you don't order an entree here then I guess it can be considered a tapas place. Tapas can be frustrating because it takes about 6 orders to get full, but once in a while its okay as long as the food is good and here it is, very good. The rock shrimp (covered in some really good sauce), calamari, scallops, chicken dumplings, and dark chocolate lava were all really good and it would be tough to go back and not order the same. Again you're not going to get very full not ordering an entree but the great flavor of each dish was more than enough to make me feel money was well spent. I'm a believer in do whatever makes you happy but it must be said that this is frequented by a more than a few gays, again I don't care but those that do need to be given a heads up. The bar area is nice and spacious with a nice TV and separate from a decent sized eating area, there's also a separate dance area next to it. Bartenders are very nice and the valet parking is free. It's not the best location in FTL but its one of the better options on US1 in the area and has some real quality food.

    Well, I had it in my head that I really wanted to have a drink and since parking is such an ease (they have free valet parking) and their happy hour is awesome (good music and delicious handicraft cocktails), I was not going to look any further than Dapur. The dining area is separate from the lounge, so we headed into the dinner area to grab some eats before having a couple of drinks. They do happy hour tapas but I like eating at a table and they only have bar style seating in the lounge. We weren't all that hungry so we ordered the Spicy Tuna Tartar, Royal Tuna Roll and Fried Rice (doesn't exactly complete a meal but my boyfriend really wanted it). The Spicy Tuna Tartar was so good. To sum it up it was spicy, flavorful and fresh. The crispy rice was crispy but not crunchy and I loved that. The tuna was just tasty. The Royal Tuna Roll was good also. It is made with Hamachi, tempura jalapeño and cilantro with tuna and wahoo on top. Again, the fish tasted fresh and the rice was perfectly cooked. There are no negatives or complaints; this just did not wow my taste buds. It was very light and I like my food strong and packed full of flavor. The fried rice was okay. It has a nice flavor (I would say it is similar to Thai fried rice). The rice was just a little too wet for me. After eating and while paying our tab, we start talking to our waiter. We tell him that we going to go to the bar to have a drink before we leave and he kindly gives us two free drink cards. We pay for our meal and head on over to the Lounge on the other side. I end up ordering 2 Tangerine Mojitos (I was going to have one but since we got one free I felt I had to have two) and my boyfriend (who refuses to try new things) had 2 Long Islands. A long island is a typical drink you can get anywhere but I have to say that Dapur makes some great drinks. Their specialty cocktails are even better. My Tangerine Mojitos were magnificent and frankly you can't say much more than that. So far so good! Until we meet again!

    Finally a place that rises above the stunning mediocrity of Ft Lauderdale restaurants. Our reservation was promptly acknowledged and we we're seated in the room with the big golden Buddha. We ordered a few small plates and split a main course. All were quite good and filling and reasonably priced. There is another room that looks more like a night club with music that spills over to the room we were in but not too loud for comfortable conversation. The service was efficient and friendly and way above what I have experienced in most restaurants in this town. We usually go to Miami, Boca, or Delray for a good restaurant experience. I'm glad Dapur is in my backyard and we will certainly be back. Richard and Linda

    Been here many times and love the food. This time we had a horrible experience I thought we were getting punked or something. Our food never arrived and we got 2 out of the 5 drinks we ordered. When we ask the bartender if he put our order in he say yes then comes back 20 minutes later an asks us what we ordered. We just left after waiting for an hour. Sorry but we are never coming back.

  • Umar G.

    Not impressed at all. The places tries too hard and is a fail. We had a bunch of tapas and the only one we liked was the spicy tuna roll. The jalepeno and the cilantro blended well with the creaminess of the tuna. Other than that, the other tapas were fair to poor. The Brussels Sprouts (a house specialty according to our too-anxious waiter) had a nice meaty flavor but were greasy, as was the tempura crab/vegetable melange. Tempura is supposed to be as light as air, crispy and never oily. This may have been crispy, but was dense and the oil was visibly seeping out. It seems as though the oil may not have been hot enough in both cases. We then had a "big plate" which was the crispy duck. Never in all my life have I been so disappointed with duck at an Asian (or Asian inspired in this case) establishment. The batter was thick and cruddy and the duck had a gamey taste... yuck! Asian duck is a joy in most places that specialize in it. The side of vegetables was bland, the spicy siracha accompaniment was a just red goop, though the rice was pretty good. Determined to give this place one last chance, we ordered the passion fruit cheesecake. It was cloyingly sweet and dense like a bad treacle pudding. Our waiter served the plate and returned with the spoons five minutes later; which gave us enough time to discover that the strawberry garnish was warm and pulpy soft ..eww. I didn't find the decor zen at all... more all over the place... rather than evoking fusion, or balance, the items in the room seemed to fight and vie for attention... not a good look in a restaurant. Overall, Dapur was a bland and disappointing experience. It seemed to promise much but then failed on most accounts. Not worth a second chance.

    Absolutely outstanding! The Service was exceptional and every dish was wonderful. We had a food-gasm for the hot tower and the spicy tuna tartar in particular. Their house sake was some of the best hot sake I've had. We were excited to try this place based on what we saw on the menu and it did not fail to deliver and truly impress us. It has great ambience and a great cocktail menu too! I highly recommend. Our server was Andrew and he was very professional and friendly and gave us superb service.

    Nothing but good things to say. I'm a mostly vegetarian (I still eat fish) and I love this place. Their happy hour rocks (7 days a week from 5-8pm, except Thursdays it's ladies night and it goes until 10) -happy hour is only honored in the bar area (which could use some non high-top/couch seating and a table or two at regular height) It's a chic and trendy place with good food, both Thai and Japanese. The brussel spouts are yummilcous, as is the fried crab thing with peanut suace that I don't know the name of. Killer vegetarian rolls as well. The lychee martini is my favorite cocktail, and they always knock it out of the park. The service is very friendly and the food is great. What more could you ask for?

    Came here with the groupon which is a GREAT deal. I'm always a little suspicious of groupons, some restaurants act weird about them, others have tons of small print, and what you think you're getting is much different than what you actually get. But here was just as it listed: any 2 drinks and 3 small plates for 2 people. 1.) the rock shrimp- this was a large portion of Tiger shrimp and shiitake mushroom tempura the side of spicy mayo for dipping gave it a little kick (plus spicy mayo is my favorite!) 3.) bang bang scallops - this came with three scallops perfectly cooked (which is hard to say about scallops- either they're too chewy or not cooked enough but these were just right) with Brussel sprouts.. The highlight of this dish is the sauce in all its creamy soy sauce, garlic, buttery, sake glory. I wanted to dip everything we received in this sauce that's how good it was. I don't even eat Brussel sprouts ... In fact, I hate them! But with this sauce they tasted delicious! - the bartender suggested the spicy tuna tar tar... Of the three this was actually my least favorite. Although the tuna was good and the jalapeño garnish intrigued me, the "rice cake" tasted a bit stale. I was expecting it to be crunchy but it just seemed a little chewy and hard like it was old or maybe had been sitting out too long. - we decided to order the booster roll which had shrimp tempura, cucumber, asparagus, cream cheese, and dynamite topping. I love their dynamite! The spicy mayo was delicious and the cucumber gave it a nice crunch. - our drinks were equally DELICIOUS I had a forever young martini which had blueberry acaii and pomegranate, the boyfriend had the autumn which was a pear flavored beverage... not sure what was in it but it was very refreshing! -the atmosphere was cool! Kind of slow for Sunday night happy hour. The lounge was a little simple but had good bar lighting and a club vibe...it made you feel like you were out and about instead of just having dinner in any old dining room. Seems to be a fun place for weekend nights and private parties they even have "lounge deals" listed online, - the service was great: the hostess and bartender were nice and very accommodating even though we came late. We arrived around 9:15, unfortunately open table lists that they close at 11 but on Sunday's they actually close at 10. Although they didn't make us feel rushed, we knew they probably wanted to get out of there on time so we ate quickly... Nobody wants to be "those people". I wish open table would have listed the correct times, date night comes far and few between so having to rush to eat was a little bit of a downer. All in all we had a great experience and I would definitely come back!

    I was here last night for a birthday party. The parking was plentiful, the staff were friendly and all greeted us warmly. The happy hour is on till 8 and is available 7 days a week. I had the lycheetini. We were served delicious sushi, dumplings, and spring rolls. The music was great; as well as not too overpowering so we could still have conversations. I saw a cute little restaurant area which I may try on my next visit here.

    We visited Dapur early this evening for dinner (my husband, 2 year old daughter, and myself). We've driven by the restaurant countless times, and finally had the opportunity to stop in. Wow!...so happy we did! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Our server, Andrew (if I got that wrong, a thousand apologies, because our server definitely deserved kudos) was incredibly friendly and helpful...and very efficient, which is greatly appreciated by our toddler. We tried the Brussels sprouts (super delicious), papaya salad (so flavorful and light), scallops (not my favorite, but my husband loved them), Rock shrimp (my definite favorite), ceviche (so much fish! What a pleasant surprise! Yum), and the tropical tuna (again, super flavorful). I also ordered a slice of the passion fruit pie to take home (it just sounded too interesting to pass up). The pie was really lovely, and the accompanying strawberry sauce was the perfect touch. All in all, it was truly a delightful experience...beautiful, fresh flavors served with the Midwestern charm of our fantastic server. Looking forward to returning.

    I went here for the first time last week for lunch. I am a big fan of Asian tapas. I will review each item we ordered: -Korean short ribs where good ( though I thought a little over cooked) - Roti was excellent - tuna tar tar- was excellent (though I wish my rice cracker was a was a little smaller and crispier) - Rock shrimp - was excellent.My favorite thing on the menu! - surf and turf sushi roll- was good but next time I will order without the cream cheese The service was top rate. Our server Drew attended to all our needs. He was polite and professional. I give the food a solid 3.5 but our service bumps the whole experience to a 4. Will definitely visit again.

    The only disappointing thing about this restaurant is that my wife and I had not tried it sooner. We started with the Bang Bang Scallops, three U8 to U10 scallops with halved Brussels Sprouts in a garlic miso butter. They were so fantastic we ordered another one with a side of jasmine rice to soak up the sauce. And that is how I recommend you order it, unless you're on a low-carb diet, then I recommend just using a spoon. And, before I go on to something else, imagine a rich miso soup with crisp fried garlic tossed with steamed tender Brussels sprouts and huge scallops. I was surprised to see these "Bang Bang" mollusks weren't bathed in tempura batter as in the "Bang Bang" Shrimp we will soon tire of at other eateries. I confess I ordered them thinking that was what I was going to get but thankfully, Dapur's intelligent branding saved me from myself (or at least an extra 200 calories and 20 grams of fat). The next-best thing we had was the Hot Tuna Tower - a nice use of alliteration - that is founded on jasmine rice, Haas avocado slices, a crab mayonnaise salad, topped with spiced and diced tuna. The Eggplant small plate was good but the least of our favorites. Korean short ribs were tasty. My wife loved them. Cocktails: The Forever Young martini with Absolut Acai, Veev Acai liqueur, Pom Wonderful et al was excellent. The Dartmoor was excellent as well. A top shelf gin martini with cucumber, St Germain Elderflower liqueur, and fresh lemon. We knew Edi from Galanga had opened this but we were remiss in following him here. The quality is extraordinary in food and the service was excellent also, even though our server was new. At least, when he couldn't answer our questions he came back quickly with an answer. The busser Tuesday night July 29 was exceptional. He filled our waters countless times, wiped our table, and cleared our plates. In service, what you are aware of, you produce. And he was definitely aware of us throughout our visit. Give that busboy a raise! We discovered too late for this visit that they have a Tuesday special of BOGO sushi. I've heard the Lobster Crunch Roll is a favorite. As I put on my sunglasses to leave, I said, "I'll be back".

    Fellow Celiacs beware! I was excited to see online that they have a gluten free menu on their website, however the incorrect spelling "glutten free" should have been my first warning. We ate during a very slow time, just a few tables were occupied, thinking they would have extra time to ensure my order was correct. We started with the chicken dumplings, which came out with fried onions, which one server said was gluten free and another claimed they were not, so those were sent back. Then came the royal tuna, which I requested gluten free without the fried jalapeño, as the menu suggests. The sushi came out with a spicy mayo which could not be confirmed as gluten free. So we sent it back to be made without the sauce. To top it off, and end the night they brought it back claiming again "gluten free" only to find they remade it with friend jalapeño when I bit into it! Never got to the main dish... What a fail!

    I'm a big sushi enthusiast and absolutely love Asian food so Dapur is definitely the place to be at! Beginning with the food the tapas that are finger licking good include the ceviche. What makes it so great is that it's made with sushi grade fish, none of that tilapia only stuff. The hot tower is incredible the texture is surprising and intricately delicious Rock shrimp made me do a happy dance in my chair!!!!!!!! It's to die for! Fried calamari e is so different And delicious! I'm the type of person that likes sweet foods and that is just what the calamari e is a nice sweet and tangy taste! I really enjoy that there is two sections to the restaurant a lounge club vibe with modern drinks and the sit down dinner side. Definitely appreciate the Dj they put on the weekends. All the servers I have gotten so far are terrific! So sweet and may I say hot!!!!

    Was dying to check this place out. Got right in on a Saturday night. Food was really good. Service was horrible. 10 minutes to be greeted. By the time the waiter got to the table we put in one glass of wine, one beer. 5 minutes later the waiter comes back in the section. No drinks in hand. Then he comes back and had to confirm my glass of wine. Another 5 minutes no drinks. Finally we receive our drinks. Food took a while they forgot we ordered black miso cod. Then tgey forgot out fried rice. I asked for a spoon from the bus boy. Nothing. Asked our waiter he forgot. I had to remind him if people have food you always deal with them first. Worst staff ever

    Night Club/ Thai place Thai place/Night Club. Not sure yet what Dapur is, either way 9 bucks for two pot stickers (or close to that) is a bit much for that type of appetizer. The food was about par or below Thai standard. However, the atmosphere is cool and inviting with great bartending service.

    I have only tried the Sunday brunch, but it was very good. It is buffet style, but they also have Dim Sum, Sushi, a omelette station, and waffle station. They serve bottomless Sangria, Mimosa, and Bloody Mary's for only $14/pp. The price for brunch is very good also. I would definitely go again.

    I love the ambiance of the restaurant. The staff is always friendly and the food is excellent! They have friendly valet service. I 've been going here for years. By far my favorite Asian restaurant. I like how the crowd is diverse, yet trendy.

    As a huge fan of tapas, Dapur was a good place to come for them, just not a great place. Dapur is located in a weird area, and not a very good location. We had a reservation for the evening hour and was seated right away even though we got caught in traffic and showed up almost an hour late. The service was pretty strong and accomodating at Dapur. Came over a lot to checkup on us, refilled the drinks constantly, and came over and cleared the table promptly. The restaurant is split in half between a dining area, and a bar/dance club area. We sat in the dining area, which was a modern feel with a fusion of Asian inspirations, very nice overall. Their are a good amount of choices to choose from, all at okay prices. We tried the Brussel Sprout, Stuffed Tofu, Korean Short-ribs, Chicken Satay, Mandarin Chicken, Beef Semur. The Korean Short-ribs were by far my favorite, very flavorful, and a must try. For dessert we got the Crispy Sexy (Fried Cheesecake), and All Time Favorite (Deep Fried Bananas). Both were very good, but both very heavy especially for desserts. Overall, the food was pretty tasty, just not the best I've ever had. I would say that Dapur is a good place for tapas. Service is solid and the atmosphere is very nice, it just lacks an x-factor to make itself standout from other places. Nevertheless, if you are in the mood for a tapas style meal, and Dapur is close by, must be worth a try. Food (B), Pricing (C), Atmosphere (B+), Service (B+)

    This place is amazing...it looks small from the outside but inside is so awesome!! Started with the edemame which was delicious, then had the yuca and steak with teriyaki sauce so yummy. Also had the surf and turf roll which has everything amazing inside. Owner Edi is so sweet and welcoming. They also sometimes have a dj spinning deep house music on weekends or brunch. This is place is a must try!!

    The service was one of the worst I've seen. I kept asking for a cocktail list to try one of their signature martinis, they said they couldn't find one so I had my usual. The food is overrated and pricey. The sliders were pretty good, although very greasy. It only comes with 2 for $15! Had to order 2 dishes for the 4 of us. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic but they give you a small bowl. I mean it's called tapas and yet the plate sizes were so small to share. They push you to share plates of course. Thankfully we ordered 2 main dishes. The chicken pad Thai was not as amazing as they say. We ordered this steak that was the best dish the entire night. Also very loud and is a club on the other side. Overall were not coming back. Wasn't worth the money and it's not anywhere near us.

    Beautiful decorating. Steep prices. Even with some kind of groupon deal or something, my friend and I racked up such a high bill (although taken care of for the purchased deal), that just paying the tip was pricey. I probably won't be back on my own dime. But yes, the sushi type dishes we had were unusual and tasty. But no, I probably won't be back...

    Now keep in mind that I live in Chicago so my expectations are a little high. Nevertheless, I will try to be as fair as possible. I was arranging a little party for a family reunion. Part of the family lives in FLL, part in London, part in Mumbai and we in Chicago. Julieanne was the manager who helped set everything up. I have to say she was absolutely amazing. The appetizers we ordered were the spring rolls and stuffed tofu. The spring rolls were some of the best I have had. Stuffed tofu was alright. The restaurant gave us complimentary edamame (which were seasoned with some Asian sauces and just out of this world) and some Brussel sprouts which were great too. The food was the weak point. We ordered various dishes from the leg of lamb and some beef dish both of which were dry to vegetarian pad thai noodles which too had an ok flavor. Julianne was upfront over the phone and said she hadn't done a family style service before but I have to say, the service was absolutely impeccable. The main server, Alfredo; kudos to him. Professional and knowledgeable about everything. Took great care of us. Over all, I wouldn't do dinner here again but would love to try drinks here at their more relaxed bar.

    We found a little advertizing card at the resort we're staying at offering $5 off the total check, so we decided to give it a try. The place was fairly empty and we're seated right away. Our server was prompt and gave us the run down of how the place works as far as ordering the topas plates. We showed him our card and he was quick to point out that it was expired and that we should make sure to get rid of all the other cards at our resort. We kind of laughed it off and began ordering our food and drinks. He let us know that the plates would come out as soon as they were ready. my Moscow mule was so bad that I couldn't even drink but a few sips, I made use of the water. The first three plates began to come and it wasn't wowing us. We had to wait a Lil longer for the fourth plate after the waiter went to check on it. We still hadn't received the last order of dumplings yet but asked for the check anyway. At the last minute they came out and were pretty good. The waiter again mentioned the expired card sort of in a joking way, but to let us know that they weren't welcomed. If it hadn't been for that little card we would have not even gone to that place and dropped a good $80. If he was smart, he would have given us $5 off anyway or offered a free plate of something instead of give us attitude. Just fyi, there is an awesome Cuban restaurant right across the street that I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    The food is delicious, the ambiance is chic however the three times I have been there the service has been substandard. Excessively long waits at the bar and bad service in the restaurant by unapologetic wait staff.

  • Lee Z.

    I must say, the taste of the 3 small plates we ordered were so delicious,and the presentation was aesthetically appealing. We had the grilled calamari, hot tower (jumbo lump crab meat, avocado, ahi tuna, crispy rice, creamy wasabi), and rock shrimp (tempura battered tiger shrimp, shitake mushrooms, light spicy mayo). (I used a Groupon certificate) Although not my style, the decor is more of an Asian fusion, which is very nicely done. The staff was friendly. However, it is a little pricey for me, especially for the small plates. But I understand because of the type of patrons they cater to.

    If creative asian / sushi cuisine is what you are looking for, this is the place to go to. Sometimes, trying to put a unique spin on dishes becomes the death of the very essence that make things like fresh raw fish great. Dapur got the food just right. We had the ceviche ($15) which was spot on with the right mix of refreshing cucumber and citrus tang to complement the generous amount of fish. The tropical tuna was a hefty portion of tuna, avocado and fresh fruit while the hamachi jalapeno paired the fresh, delectable yelowtail with a citrus soy sauce ($16). Service was great and the waiter checked several times to make sure we were doing ok. The only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is the music / neon lighting that makes this place a little uncomfortable after a while. Overall, a great place to check out, they also had free valet parking when we visited.

    This Resturant has poor hours!!! We tried twice to get in once they close between lunch and dinner , then we went for dinner on a Friday night after being recommended ,I brought my friends from Miami, we parked in the front ,and we're told to move by the parking attendants they had on duty! VERY RUDE!! When I told the girl on the phone , she said oh really? I can't believe that! Instead of apology , I nor my friends said they would go back!!! LOSER! Resturant !

    Came on a Saturday night, no reservations, seated in 5 minutes. Edamame was good, spring rolls were excellent, nice crispy outside. Had the house saki, eh not bad for house, slight sweet flavor, not overpowering. Had the Lobster Crunch roll and The Fancy roll, both good for the price.

    Surprisingly spacious and trendy asian food spot located on federal. Love the small plates! Love being able to order numerous small portions and taste everything! My favorite dishes are: - Miso Cod! Honey miso glaze!! Yum!! - Korean Short Ribs. I may just love Short Ribs everywhere! - PAd Thai (always!) - The FireCracker Snapper Tempura Rolls - Shrimp Tempura appetizer - Fried Rice - Grilled Calamari On entering the hostess always ask if you prefer to dine in the bar (which is dimly lit and has a club/lounge feel), or the restaurant. If you are looking for the happy hour deals, head to the bar area. The service is always pleasant. We enjoy this spot everytime. There is a large party room tucked away in the front that you overlook. Perfect for small gatherings of up to about 30-35 people. Definitely recommend.

  • Nhut B.

    The food and drink are great, the staffs are nice, however I must give them only 1 star based on the owner attitude and his hard headed decision. They have the Tuesday special 2-for-1 on sushi roll. The staff told me that you order 2 rolls and they will take the cheaper off your bill. So in the 1st round, I ordered 2 rolls that are $15 each. As I want to try all their food, on the 2nd round, I ordered another 2 rolls that are $8 each. The logic way of my expectation is my bill will be deduct $15 and another $8. However at the end of the night, when the bill come, it chose to deduct $8 and another $8 as they were the 2 cheapest order. While the staff see the logical on my order, he has no option to change it, He asked the owner to overwrite, the owner refused to do so and the owner believe that is how they would do thing. I will not be back here again. I also want to share my bad experience with this restaurant to you so that you are aware of how they do the business,. It was not the money of $7 that I care about, it is the way the business is doing that made me feel cheated. It is the principle. I have planed to bring more friends from Miami to this restaurant, now I will no longer choose to do so. I have planned to recommend this restaurant to my friends from California who travel to Florida, now I am not going to do that. Good impression is hard to make, while the staff made it, the owner buries it... what a way to lose in business

The BRUSSEL sprouts reeled me in. :) The owner EDI is such a great host to all that walk into his sanctuary. We enjoyed his hospitality and smiles. The drinks, the exquisite flavors in all of Dapur's dishes and the desserts are all an experience I hope everyone gets to experience. Thank you EDI ...My gang and I will be back for more soon.

    Great for both lunch & dinner! Really love their Hot Tower & The Masterpiece, but everything else I've ordered has been delicious as well. Super efficient & friendly servers are willing to make adjustments (like "less spicy, please" or "brown rice instead of white rice") plus the atmosphere is so relaxing & conducive to conversation.

    Dapur is a hip and swanky hidden little jem on Fed Highway in Fort Lauderdale. Yeah it's not on Las Olas or in the trendy Himmershee area. But being that it's not in those two areas and they have plenty of parking and valet, I'd say that this place is an epic win. In the time it took you to park your car in those two areas, I'm already into my appetizers & sushi at Dapur. Our server Natasha was super fast and friendly. We ordered a ton of food and she kept on bringing it out. Also I agree with Jessica, the Brussels sprouts are amazing. I also enjoyed the flavors of the Sushi. And most importantly my beer was cold.

    Dined here with my wife using Groupon (30 for 60 for small plates). The decor very nice and aura filled with energy. We ordered the rock shrimp, scallops, and miso cod. Also had two drinks. The presentation of the small plates were great and the taste was pretty good. Only problem i had were the portion sizes. For 90 dollars we should leave the establishment satisfied, but i exited the restaurant with still an appetite. Great place to hang out, grab a couple of drinks and appetizers. They have a good happy hour menu with items at reduced prices

    This is one of my favorite hot spots to go for happy hour. I have only been in the bar area. I love the ambiance. It is laid back, asian chic, stylish. The food is amazing. You have to try the broccoli sprouts. All the happy hour menu items are delicious and inexpensive. The prices on the drinks are also great. One of the bartenders made me a peanut butter martini!!! It was so good!! Everyone in my party had one and the word spread to the rest of the bar. He used real peanut butter. For the most part, the bartenders are friendly and attentive. I have had a few instances where it took forever to get their attention and to be served.

    I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment! Each and EVERY visit has been outstanding! Dapur never fails and it always delivers. Great drinks and music in the lounge then over to the restaurant. Without hesitation, the wait staff is pleasant and fun and attentive to our needs! It is an absolute must when in the mood for asian fusion fare. The Dapur tapas and rolls are always unbelievable. Usually you can make a meal just from the tapas. Brussel sprouts are always amazing and this time we threw in a firecracker and drama queen roll. Wow! Spectacular!! To end the evening, fresh tempura bananas and vanilla ice cream! That's as good as it gets! Short and sweet, Dapur's delivers - EVERYTIME!!

    Tonight we tried to enjoy another great meal here but this was the second time we showed up in the past weeks where they had a private party in the lounge with very loud music. Unlike the last time we asked if they could lower the music just a bit so we could enjoy another great meal. But the manager simply said. "I cannot lower the music because it was a private party with lesbians and they can be out of control". Surprised at his statement we turned around and walked out and mentioned that his comment was uncalled for and that simply lowering the sound would make for a far more pleasant meal. We left never to return. Good food does not mean good taste or good relations!

  • Faren R.

    From the decor to the drinks to the artful sushi and delicious Asian tapas, Dapur is such a great place for dinner. The crispy Brussels sprout appetizer is my favorite item on the menu - there's some secret and wonderful sauce (I suspect soy and ginger and fish sauce and Asian magic) glazed over the crunchy leaves that is enough to make even a picky kid finally fall in love with brussel sprouts. I highly recommend it.

  • Tina D.

    This is a review of their Lesbian event on Friday nights. I haven't eaten at the restaurant. Since New Moon closed, the women haven't had one reliable place to go, but the effort by local businesses to pick up the slack is admirable. Walking in, we asked the hostess if this was the place with the women's event. She responded, and I quote, " I have absolutely no idea what's going on in here. Sorry." We wondered if we should just leave but since we had just run through a downpour to get inside, decided to at least check it out. I asked if she perhaps knew where the bar was & she managed to point us in the right direction. The bartenders were both of the male persuasion, which was a definite disappointment, but the go go dancer they brought out later mitigated that somewhat. The DJ did a pretty good job with the tunes, & there was a decent sized dance floor. Liquor reps in tight shirts and short skirts made the rounds several times hawking free samples of whiskey. There were women in attendance of various shapes, sizes, colors, and ages (high femmes with a few soft butches) but not enough. I was with friends, so I can't complain, but a single lady might have a hard time making a connection. (Probably true of all lesbian events in some way.) The success of this event is a catch 22: if more women go, it will be a successful event, but until more women go, most women won't bother. Such is the life of the Ft Lauderdale lesbian in the post-NM world.

    First time at Dapur last night. Got there early, so it wasn't crowded at first. Crowd picked up as the nigth went on. Place is huge, much larger than I would have expected from the outside. A large bar area to start or finish the evening if you so desire. Friends and I split a bunch of appetizers and small plates. Included the fried calamari, beef "sliders", bang bang scallops, fried rice and short ribs. Also had the coconut milk soup. All were good some better than others. The slider was very different as the "bun" is rice and so the consistency is surprising and sort of heavy. And it overhwhelmed the beef. Calamari was pretty average compared to most places. The soup was very good, not "white" like at most places, not too spicy, but with a hint of spice. Fried rice was excellent. Short ribs come on the bone, which is sort of weird given how small the pieces were. Still pretty tasty. Overall, this is not your typical Thai place. Its sort of "fancy" Thai. I want to try the sushi next time. Service was consistent and helpful.

    This place is definitely a gem! From a nice relaxing dinner of multiple delicious tapas, to private parties, to birthdays, I've had the pleasure of experiencing all of them at Dapur and they never fail to please. The food is so fresh and absolutely incredible! I have not had one dish there that I haven't liked... matter of fact, I usually try new things there and end up loving them! I had my 30th birthday there as well and the night went on without a hitch and everyone loved the place. Highly recommend it!

    Absolutely amazing for an out of the way place. The fried brussel sprouts were so yummy and the spicy tuna roll lunch plate was perfect. Wait staff was attentive, informative but not intrusive. Edemmomi was prepared like I've never had it before - delish. Just wish I had room for the passion fruit pie - but definitely will when I return for dinner.

  • Wade B.

    After Galanga seemed to fall off in terms of quality, we were delighted to find Dapur. A nice and eclectic mix of Asian or Asian inspired dishes makes up the menu with a few standouts - we enjoy the duck main (always cooked perfectly) and the spicy tuna on fried rice (which has a fresh taste but an amazing consistency). Service has been good to great on our three visits there and prices are reasonable. I'd rate it just as good as Coco, which is delightful too, and I'm happy to have an alternative for a solid east Asian choice with a nice atmosphere.

    I had recently heard that this restaurant opened up for lunch and was excited to try! i went with my boyfriend; going out to new lunch spots is kinda of our thing. we were greeted with edamame and waters. the server was new and didn't know much about the menu so we just winged it. i had ordered a tuna roll and side salad. loved the dressing on the salad, the tuna roll could have been bigger. my boyfriend had gotten the superfit rice dish. it was supposed to be brown rice, but looked like white rice with a bunch of soy sauce, none the less it still tasted great. We were the only people in the restaurant so we decided to peek around. ended up having a full bar and lounge on the other side of the restaurant and was quite beautiful

    We went on a Friday night for happy hour (every day from 5 to 8 pm). They have a pretty decent happy hour menu. Draft beers are only $3, but they don't really have anything craft. Still not terrible with $3 Yuengling on tap. They do have other beverages on special during happy hour. We tried several of the apps: edamame ($4), tuna roll ($10), chicken yakitori ($5), dumplings (shrimp or chicken $5), tuna tartar ($8), and spring rolls ($5). The tuna tartar was our favorite. Service was OK. I might sit at a bar instead of a table next time. All in all, it was a good experience, and a nice way to sample the food and put back a couple of drinks.

    Though located in what has previously been the home of many a failed restaurant, Brazil and Salute come to mind, Dapur is completely renovated and completely redecorated. However, to my mind, the interior with its patterned cement floor, huge Spartan industrial like space and very basic decor has the ambiance of dinning in an Indonesian machine shop. My other impression is that it is sort of hipster without the hip to it and somewhat trendy but with the chic portion of the trendiness lacking, My biggest gripe, however, is that the lights were so low that I had to rely upon my Android flashlight widget in order to not only to read the menu but also to enable me to see what I was eating. I really don't like being unable to see what I am eating even though I prefer low level light when dinning. However, the lighting in Dapur was so low as to attain the point of being ridiculous. I added a couple of pictures, but only of the bar area and of the basinless men's room sinks. That is because it was so dark in the other areas, like the dinning area, that even with a flash I couldn't get a good picture. As for the food, it's very good, large portions and reasonably priced. I started with the tempura calamari, which was nearly a meal of its own, then went on to have the lamb shank. Both were delicious and done to perfection. However, I immediately knew that I have had the same before at Galanga. My suspicion on that was confirmed when I later discovered that most of the employees of Dapur were previously with Galanga. The service was outstanding and after placing my orders, they arrived quicker than I have ever experience at any other restaurant. With so many great Asian restaurants within the local area my overall impression of Dapur is that it is rather lacking in comparison, mainly because of the cold cafeteria/industrial ambiance and the food, though very good, wasn't that much better so as to set it apart or above.

    Great restaurant, wonderful food. I've been here twice before and never disappointed. Shared a few of their small plates - the veggie dumplings, New Wok EDAMAME, and the steak and yuca which were all fabulous. Topped off with the Lobster crunch sushi. Wished I had room for dessert. The service was also excellent. Had my soda and water refilled at least 3 times and server came by several times to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next trip back.

    What can I say. The place looks like a made up fake movie set. We ordered several items and only a couple made it to our table. The owner was floating around with a smile in his face completely unaware of the disaster this place is. After what seemed to be two hours, and still no dinner...we asked for our bill and left. First time here...and last. There are much better places in Ft Lauderdale.

    It has been a while since I had the opportunity to host a party for my birthday. This year, the universe goofed, it fell on a Friday. The only challenge was selecting a venue to host this joyous day. Edi, the owner, made that decision easy. He was able to customize a dinner package which matched my budget and expectations. The staff executed my dinner party plans , last Friday, flawlessly. Starting from the private space, the decorations, the lights, the service, the food; they were amazing. Natasha and Duran (wait staff) were the personalization of professionalism and dedication to customer service. My friends and family were impressed. The Dj was exceptional. He literally customized his playlist to fit our personalities. I'm looking forward to our next occasion at Dapur.

She was quick and efficient...a beautiful example of what customer service should be. I will definitely be back when I visit again :D

    The tapas and the mixed drinks were great during happy hour. When we all went to sit in the main dining area time turned into a backwards warp. The service was poor (the waitress was snotty) and took forever! This place is decent in atmosphere and the food was alright. The decor was nice but nothing overall was worth me returning or recommending to others.

    I have been to this restaurant many times for different occasions: dinner, lunch, birthdays, social events, networkers. I have always had an amazing experience. The food is delicious - I mean all of it. From the sushi to the curry to the small plates. It's always fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The owner is also very philanthropic and does a lot to give back to the community, hosting all types of events for nonprofit organizations. It's always great to see local businesses providing top notch food, friendly and efficient service, and supporting the community they do business in. Oh - and they have great happy hours and specials like Rolls Me Up Tuesday (two for one sushi rolls!). If you haven't been here yet, you are missing out!

    Every time we have lunch or dinner here it's amazing. Everything is so fresh and everyone is very pleasant. The cocktails here are delicious as well. Edi, the owner, is so nice and attentive. It also has a great space to host group happy hours.

    Tried this place for a friends bday for the first time and it was amazing! The food was delish, servers super friendly and attentive, and they had a BOGO on the rolls so we got to try four different rolls for the price of two. Will def need to come back!

    Although the small plate concept was great, I did not find the food authentic nor did it have indonesian/malaysian flavors that I was expecting. Being an Asian, I may have higher expectations. Started off with the roti which was drenched in oil and I am certain it was frozen and not freshly made. The curry that came with it was a normal red curry ( nothing special). My friend also ordered the Murtabak which was a pastry stuffed with meat. Originally, martabak suppose to be a Roti stuffed with a tasty meat stuffing. Moving on to entrees, the beef rendang had tender meat however the sauce was overly sweet and nothing compared to the original version. For those of you who are vegetarian, there are hardly any options for you other than the usual red curry or a pad thai or fried rice. I would not return and pay that much for such normal dishes. Indonesian/Malaysian cuisine is full of flavor and there are many amazing dishes that could make the menu much more attractive. Don't serve frozen roti and call it authentic. Would suggest the owner to add laksa, nasi lemak, mee goreng, satay which are some of the most famous dishes from that region. They should have more options for vegetarian customers too. Customer service was just ok as servers hardly had much details about the menu and were not attentive.

    Another great meal at Dapur: Yes, the Brussel sprouts and edamame are excellent. Some of my favorites are the jalapeño tuna, shrimp dumplings, lobster crunch roll, and hot tower. And of course, a refreshing cucumber martini or two. Love the fresh foods, fun vibe, funky setting and friendly service too.

    Food was average but took a long time, service was horrendous. They were not even busy! Waited for an hour after our reservation. Manager refused to come to table. Owner came and said manager came by already but glad we were enjoying....

    This is a cool little place that has sushi that is a little off beat. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the decor. In addition to the enormous Buddha statue in the one corner, the lamps are gorgeous. They are made of seashells and the light hits them beautifully. They're really cool. Other than that the rest is pretty much your standard Asian fare, but little touches like the "chopstick holders" made of wood were nice to keep them from touching the table. I've never been a big fan of sushi that wasn't in "roll form", but I was talked into it, and boy was I pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what fish it was, but it was covered in a light sauce and had jalapeños on top. Also, I'm wary of whole jalapeños because I'm relatively sensitive to spice. Wow, was I surprised. Just enough bite to be flavorful but not too much to be painful. Delicious fish too. We ordered one roll as well for familiarity, but the "hot tower" was the most interesting yet hard to eat thing I've had at a sushi place. I wanted to cheat and break out a fork. The bottom is rice, the middle was avocado and top had ahi tuna. There was other stuff mixed in too, but eating it with chopsticks felt like stabbing a tower of mush and destroying a beautiful creation. Typically with sushi the chopsticks don't get sticky either, here was not the case. If this is on your menu, order this last or get a second set of chopsticks because they will get messy. Delicious though. The mayo sauce on the side completed the dish along with the little hibiscus flowers (which may have been edible?) The service here was fantastic as well. Not once did a water glass go empty, a menu go unexplained, or a request unanswered. We came in relatively late (around 9:15, when they closed at 10) and stayed for a good while when it was obvious they were trying to close on a weeknight. After it was clear we needed to go and I felt we had overstayed our welcome, they weren't even in the slightest rush to push out the door and the valet (free) got my car for me without me even giving him the check-he remembered my car, and it's not like I was the last car there. I really liked it here. I love sushi and I liked the out of the box dishes they had here, I would love to give more a try. Next time I'll just ask the chef what they recommend.

    Wow. I love Dapur. Words can't express how impressed I am with this little Fort Lauderdale night club vibe dive. I wouldn't have thought that I would like it as much as I did, but craving a good happy hour, we decided to stop in. Everyday from 5-8 they feature discounted food dishes and drinks. They are delicious.We had the brussell spouts that were cooked perfectly with kale and olive oil. Then we ordered the Lobster Crunch Roll. I normally do not like any tempura rolls, but this one was exceptionally flavorful and not overly fried. At the suggestion of the server, we tried the edamame, which is pan seared and is amazingly seasoned- super flavorful. We ordered the shrimp dumplings- my least favorite thing, but the person I ate with noted that these were for sure homemade. The REAL highlight of the night, which I recommend everyone try are the Kobe Beef Sliders. I think I will have dreams about these for a while- and I am not even a huge fan of carbs, so this is saying a lot. Basically, its a high quality meat burger sandwiched in-between a rice patty. Try it- you will not be disappointed. We also had lychee martinis, which were very good, but really sweet. The best deal of the night are the $3 drafts (only at HH). This is my new favorite Laudy Daudy happy hour spot. What are you waiting for- try it!!! P.S. they even have groupon deals!

    So much hype, so little service. Flashing purple lights adorn the corner of a wickity-wack shopping center. And there's a step-and-repeat. First impression: Where am I? We arrived early for our reservation, excited to experience this acclaimed restaurant. Waiting for our table, the hostess pointed towards the bar. We sat. And sat. And sat. Five people behind the bar and no one looked at us for 10 minutes. It was busy, but no one seemed in the weeds. Dry and thirsty, we waited patiently, considerately. One bartender then asked, "Have you been helped?" FINALLY! But no. He went on his way to pour someone else's drink and never returned. So we went to the host stand, explained our experience, but the hostess gave us a helpless sorry and meagerly waved goodbye. Where's the manager? Bye Felicia. Follow up review coming soon. Everybody gets one more chance. ONE.

    The restaurant's menu is a lot of fun as it's built on a Sharing concept that allows for a truly affordable foodie experience. The Tapas on the menu draw inspiration from all over south east Asia and compliment sushi culture well. All the plates are elegantly displayed, well-portioned, and delicious. I recommend the Brussels sprouts, new wok edamame and steak and yuca for the meat-lover or paleo enthusiast. For the seafood lover the pangsit is an excellent and filling entre or if you want to stick with tapas the bang bang scallops, the masterpiece (seared tuna resting on sautéed spinach, shiitake mushrooms and miso glaze) and hamachi tuna are irresistible. My absolute favorite sushi rolls are the surf and turf, dapur tuna and drama queen. The ambience is great, the lounge is beautiful, the music is on point, the drinks are delicious and the menu really caters to everyone without sacrificing the uniqueness of each plates' background.

  • Janelle F.

    This is my new to-go spot for yummy sushi and happy hour in the Broward area. Their happy hour is on point with $6 drinks and discounted sushi rolls (you have to sit at the bar though!). The ambiance is also great if you're looking for a lounge-y vibe. They blast music and the lighting is dim and all in all - a good spot to get your drink (and sushi) on. Favorite thing on the menu so far is the spicy tuna roll. Some of the freshest I've had. Can't wait to go back.

    How this place has 4 stars, I have no idea! Mediocre sushi and poor service. My fiancé and I are big foodies, well versed travelers and sushi enthusiasts. We dined at Dapur while visiting family in Pompano Beach. The fish itself was meh.. The rice was unimpressive. During my trip to southern Florida, I have been lucky and eaten some amazing seafood.. Not here! The service was slow and rude. I certainly do not see any reason to return, and I would not recommend coming to anyone! Yelpers, look elsewhere for good sushi because you won't find it at Dapur.

    I absolutely love and recommend this place. I have been going there for over a year now and fell in love at first bite. The food is amazing, the presentation like art & the atmosphere is sexy and cool, very hip. The crowd is very diverse and seems to match the atmosphere. The lounge area is great to meet for Happy Hour or for light fare. It's also a great date night spot on the restaurant side. I have been to several birthday dinners here for friends as well and sometimes that can get tricky but the staff is incredible and very friendly. Saving the best part for last is the fact that in October of this year I hosted a Women's Investment Event for 75 Guests in the lounge area. The event included a fashion show and trunk show which is not easy to coordinate. The Owner, Edi and and the Director of Events, Bodo were unbelievable at assisting me in a flawless execution. They were very accommodating and customized many little details that made my event look so polished and professional. The feedback from my clients was outstanding. I highly recommend hosting events here as compared to other places as the pricing is right on for large groups and Bodo was amazing at adding his good taste and expertise to make my event stand out. Even the bathrooms in this place are worth checking out. What else can I say? Thank you Edi & Bodo! I look forward to many more events and evenings there!!!

    The idea of Asian Tapas really appealed to me and I wasn't disappointed by the food. There were many small plates that I wanted to try and we settled on four. 1. Hamachi Kama (Yellowtail collar) was delicious. 2. Miso Cod really fresh and melted in your mouth. 3. Whole grilled squid was wonderful. As good as you get in a real japanese restaurant and we just loved it. 4. Stuffed Tofu (stuffed with chicken) crunchy and full of flavor. We followed with Tom Yum soup which was nice but not quite authentic and the Philippine noodles again delicious. The bar area was enormous and so was the restaurant. They had clearly spent a fortune on fixtures and yet the tables were just bare wood and arranged in a clutter. Really strange. I would go back without hesitation for the food and the good service. But maybe they could invest in tablecloths and rethink the table layout.

    We were seated right away, but waited at least 15 minutes before anyone showed up to take our drink order. By the time the waitress showed up, we ordered our appetizers and entrees too, you know in case she didn't come back for another 20 minutes... Well, sure enough... 20 minutes later she shows up with the drinks and appetizers. I had the Coconut Caipiroska, and my friend had the Metropolitan martini; I couldn't believe they took 20 minutes to make that half-assed caipiroska. Presentation sucked. For appetizers, I had "The Eggplant" off the small plates menu. It was underwhelming to say the least. Very bland, just sad looking :'( For our entrees, my friend ordered the Booster Roll and I had the chicken pad Thai. They brought her food out first, and brought mine 10 or 15 minutes later... she was kind enough to wait for me until my food got there so we could actually have dinner together. The pad Thai was ok, a little dry, but I was so hungry I ate it anyway. I tried one of her rolls, it was pretty good. We ordered another drink, it took another 15 minutes so we decided to skip dessert because god knows how long that was going to take... Anyway, overpriced, overhyped, overrated. I will not be coming back.

    Had an exquisite lunch with some girl friends and the food was amazing. I'm not an Asian/Thai type of gal but this is as good as it gets. The ambiance is very zen, Asian inspired. We were seated on the right dining room. Service was prompt and lunch menu prices are very reasonable. We ordered a few appetizers and entrees to share including: Chicken Pad Thai, Salmon sushi/sashimi/rolls, Brussel Sprouts, Spring rolls... Everything was very good.. the Pad Thai was deliciously flavorful.. and I'm very picky! We ended with the Crispy Sexy dessert ... fried homemade cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce and green tea ice cream.. HELLO!!! Can't wait to go back for Thursday's girls Night Out and of course... ask the BF for a romantic dinner ;)

  • Rebecca C.

    We were enticed by the great reviews and decided to check it out. We ended up sitting at the bar as we didn't have much time and there was a wait for the tables. The ambiance is strange - definitely a lounge and without music playing when we walked it it felt like we were about to eat in some large vacant shoe warehouse. We ordered a selection of small plates from the very friendly bartender. Unfortunately, they were nothing to write home about. The scallops were tough, the short ribs like leather, the spring rolls were dripping with grease. Despite the very friendly staff, which I rate highly, Dapur feels too much like yet another flashy hot spot trying to serve gourmet food. In my experience, you can't have both.

    This is bar far one of my most favorite restaurants! The service is always great and the staff is so friendly! The ambiance in the bar is very relaxing and tranquil and makes for good conversation. The good is always superb and my favorite dish is the brussels sprouts! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good Thai food with even better service!

    My friends and I had a great dinner at Dapur last night. Despite showing up totally unorganized and without reservations and being a large semi intoxicated and definitely loud and somewhat inappropriate group the hostess very graciously found us a table. Our servers where super sweet and extremely tolerant of our behavior. They were also extremely helpful with suggestions and Saki recommendations. I had the crispy duck which was outstanding. The fat layer under the skin was totally rendered and the skin perfectly crisp and well flavored. The meat was tender and aside from the leg and thigh portion was totally boneless which I love since most of the Chinese places I go to for duck just hack the duck into chunks without boning. The ceviche was on of the best I've had in a long while. It was so good that we ordered a second. I also had bites of the Pad Thai and the chicken medley. Both were very good. The free valet parking was a nice bonus and was epecially appreciated after eating at Michy's a few weeks ago and having to pay to valet when your car is parked like 10 feet from the entrance. The food, the ambiance, the service were all outstanding. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    Their Ahi-Tuna app is def a must have! Delicioso!!! I am a sushi lover, and the sushi there is a little "fishy" for my taste, but for drinks and a cozy/sexy/date ambiance is perfect! Great for date or drinks with friends.

    Recently tried out this fabulous little hot spot due to a Groupon I purchased.. Thought it would be a fun date night with the Hubby and I was right! This hidden little gem has a delicious menu and very stylish and modern decor. I absolutely loved the ambiance. The service is always spectacular. Our favs on the menu are tuna tartar, pad thai and the chicken skewer (forgot the name, its new on the menu). Took a couple friends back for a 2nd trip and again the dishes and service were excellent. They have a happy hour in the lounge area with drink and appetizer deals. Highly recommend checking it :)

  • Dawn K.

    I've been meaning to try Dapur for months now and finally made it there for dinner last night. The ambiance was nice - although the lounge/bar felt a bit odd. I imagine that changes when it fills up with people later in the evening. I enjoyed the food very much. The spring rolls were good, although not special. The brussels sprouts were to die for. I'd go back for those any day. And we each had a roll - one veggie and one tuna - which we enjoyed very much. The service was a little uneven. There was a parade of people back and forth to our table - our server - the person who brought the water - the other person who brought the drinks - the person who took away our plates - the person who brought fresh plates - the person who brought the food - and so on. But then there were times when we were ready to order something or had a question and no one was nearby. I'm guessing this was a function of the fact that we arrived for dinner at 6:30 and they obviously don't ramp up for serious service until later. I'm not saying the service was bad - just a little awkward sometimes. I will definitely go back. I'd like to check out the atmosphere later in the evening.

    We've been customers for a long time- best sushi ive ever had- always get the brussel sprouts, the rock shrimp and ribs as appetizer! Their food is always amazing and fresh- the fancy roll is one of my favorites- the staff is super friendly- i have never had a bad experience at Dapur... We come here once or twice every single week- eddie, the owner, is hands on, always taking care of us... Check it out, you wont be dissapointed! Carlos and Jason.

    After hearing about DAPUR and following it on Facebook, I was delited to have been invited to dinner there a week ago. I KNOW I'll go back, too! First what strikes me as 5 star is the decor- 100% geared toward intimate dinning Each place setting was perfect. Even a chop stick holder that matched was a nice touch though I'll admit some in my group didn't know what they were for. Lighting was ideal to see my friends, the menu and table Appetizers were varied and tasty. Not being a crab fan, what was served changed my mind Each dish was plentiful. No one went for want Deserts: Delish Service: this is where Dapur ranks far above any other place I've been to in Ft Lauderdale so far. Though we were a large group, drinks were kept filled, food came out quickly and explanations for the unaware were pleasantly offered. Yeah, I know its not as "cutsie" as a small intimate store front but I didn't expect that from what I saw on the web site.

    This place is okay. Don't go for the food. The atmosphere was nice and the bar is a great added addition. However, the food was nothing to write home about. Everything was under-seasoned and nothing stood out. I must admit that I did not order the short ribs which seems to be a signature dish. I would consider coming once more, but only for the short ribs and with a Groupon or Living Social deal. Without them, this place is too pricey for the quality of food.

    Staff was fantastic, from the valet to the manager, all were warm and accommodating. The food showed care and pride. We visited for our wedding anniversary and all the dishes were delicious.

    Wow!!!!! All I can say is wow! This place is great in many ways! First, the server was very knowledgable and educated of what he was selling. The food is amazing as the server suggested the plates that were definitely worth trying. I've heard so many things about this place good and mediocre but for my experience this place was def worth my time! I love the atmosphere! It's very trendy and makes you feel like your in a hot spot. I def recommend this place for those whole love Asian food and for those that are looking to have a nice night out in a trendy spot. I def look forward to my next dining experience. :-)

  • Richard K.

    Wow, the size of this place really surprised me. I thought it was going to be a small intimate place, but instead, it is huge with a big lounge and dining room. It looks small like Hermione's purse, but inside it houses tons of things. Inside of Dapur, one will see the decor is snazzy and sleek. The lighting is romantic and overall the decor makes for a nice date place. After being seated, my date and I decided to share a royal tuna roll and a pad thai.The service was impeccable and the server was always there asking id we needed anything. Before we knew it, the food came flying out. The Royal Tuna Roll was clean and light; it was exactly what I was aiming for when I ordered it. The Pad Thai we ordered was solid. It did not bring us to a ratatouille moment, but it also did not send us to the bathroom. The portions were enough for two. Overall, the food was just average, but Dapur has fantastic service and incredible decor; I would return to try other tapas.

  • Yana A.

    Umm... I don't what to think of all the reviews that I just read. "large portions"? Tell me it's a joke. Tuna tartar was delicious? Well, then I don't know any more what to believe. We had couple appetizers, as we stopped after work and they had specials for that time of evening. I had mohito with hardly any alcogol in it, it was sweet and nice, but I wanted something stronger. Tuna came on a huge plate, bite size 4 pieces of rice squares and mushy tuna on top. Regular price $13. In exactly 2 min. I was done with that dish.4 shrimp dumplings, regular price $8 were not fresh, I swear they smelled funny. I think the whole purpose of this place is not about food, they are trying to look like a trendy chick place with good looking staff, vallet parking and darkness inside. I m not coming back.

    Well after my friends repeatedly expressed their fanatical experiences at this restaurant I decided to join them for dinner. What a disappointment, the place looks SO nice, extravagant, minimalistic and modern decor, great service (attentive, cordial) but SO slow, they claim it's their style to bring the food out as you wish, well I wish it was not so darn slow!....the food: average prices, the grilled calamari was very good, great presentation and good portions. My friends objected about the egg rolls being bland, the sushi rolls were great. I asked for pad Thai (easy and comparable dish); it was SO bland, I appreciate the tofu in it (healthy) but I asked for it to be hot and it was tasteless, so I asked for the spice tray and the server said pad Thai is Indonesian and not supposed to be spicy...WHAT? They don't promote themselves as Indonesian, they advertise themselves as Thai! Thai is hot! Needless to say, all my friends complained about the food being bland and this night being an exception, not sure if I'd go back

    Went a few weeks ago, and it just wasn't good. Sat at the bar and couldn't read the menu, the martini wasn't good, and the food seemed overpriced even though I had a groupon. The food arrived and it was bland, the bar manager's attitude was sour...all in all it was just an unpleasant evening spent here altogether. Went with a groupon that everyone else seemed to have as its been on offered in what seems forever. I have another groupon that I guess I'm gifting to someone else.

    This place makes my favorite crispy brussel sprouts. And I really enjoy their Dapur duck and calamari. The passion fruit pie is outstanding when it's served extreeeeemely cold. It's just okay at room temperature. This is a neat, trendy place. Very good-looking and helpful service.

    ok, I don't know what I missed, but this place was miserable. We went for happy hour. Food was terrible. Fried tofu and spicy tuna roll are a must avoid.

Very disappointing.

    The place does not look good from the outside but everything changes once you get in. (the first time I drove by the area I thought it was a furniture store) I had the best sushi I have ever had in my life! Don't be fooled by the word 'small' because their small plate are not small.

    Dapur has the BEST Asian /Thai food in all of South Florida. Their small dishes are AWESOME!! I have tried many of them--and I LOVE each and every one of them. Their Rock Shrimp are BEYOND delicious. The stuffed Tofu is extraordinary. The brussel sprouts are the very BEST I have EVER tasted. Their Dumplings are SUPERB. Whenever I have introduced a friend to this restaurant--every friend wanted to return there,--- as soon as possible. I eat at Dapur, either alone, or with friends and family,--- at least once a week. The décor at Dapur is very elegant, subtle and relaxing. The wait-staff at Dapur are always friendly, and accommodating. Edi, the owner, has a PASSION for creating a NOTEWORTHY dining experience. He is very engaging and attentive to his patrons. My trip to Dapur, from my residence,-- is over a half hour. But, my trip is rewarded with the BEST Thai Cuisine I have EVER had. Dapur is a GEM!

    OK so we tried it on all the hype on yelp. Ft. Lauderdale, are you so used to service that is so poor that if someone pays attention to you, you are ecstatic?????

    Saturday was my first time eating here - it was for a friend's birthday. I can't wait to go back! The food was delicious. The service was good. The only drawback is it's not exactly kid friendly. Luckily I do not have a chicken fingers type of 6 year old - my daughter loved the short ribs and the rock shrimp. I highly reccommend the rock shrimp, the short ribs, and the sushi. We sampled several menu items and ALL of them were delicious so I don't see how you can go wrong!

    Definitely place to visit while in Fort Lauderdale. If you are into both tapas AND Asian fusion then you will become a fan.

    Great food, don't plan on having a quiet conversation though. Owner should put sound proofing in. But the miso cod was incredibly great, the ceviche was good with a nice kick and the papaya salad was also yummy. My husband felt his seabass was just ok. Especially when he compared it to my miso cod. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!

    Really was surprised at the quality here... Very attentive service and lovely cocktails... I concentrated on Indonesian small plates, since short of driving to Miami, I'm not going to find them elsewhere... Didn't disappoint... Kimchee is tasty but needed to be MUCH spicier... All in all, nice night out, good value for money, and quite entertaining... we'll be back!

    This contemporary Asian restaurant is located in a small shopping area of Federal Highway. It has a good bar that features a good happy hour. They make their versions of the typical drinks with many tropical fruits. The drinks are extremely well mixed. The food we had were tapa sized and all of them were very good tasting and well presented. I loved the calamari, the grilled one, wow never had it like this, so fresh (the more typical fried was very good as well as I tried in another visit). Try all.

    Fantastic find! I went here on a groupon and was pleasantly surprised. Asian tapas styled small plates- each tasty, flavorful and FRESH! They grow their own herbs in the garden outside of the restaurant. I loved the coconut rice side, calamari and the oxtail soup...amazing. The decor is very zen- eastern themed with large buddahs and dimmed lights. Will definitely be going back here!

    Disappointed experience. Reception was unwelcoming, food and service ok. Best part was the valet. It could be a great restaurant with some expert tweeking.

    Best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale!!! Dapur really is one of a kind. The food is unbelievable and its evident the pride the owner has taken in carefully creating and selecting the absolute best to go on this menu. I brought 3 people along with me who had never been. I had set their expectations pretty high and was worried that they may not see it the way I did. They absolutely loved it - all 3 telling me it was the best food they had ever had in their lives! That is a HUGE statement. I have some suggestions: grilled whole calamari, hot tower, miso cod, tuna tartar, vietnamese rolls, crispy brussel sprouts, chicken salad, oxtail soup, rock shrimp, and bakmi goreng (basically everything I have ever tried) - just to name a few!! I would definitely suggest foregoing individual meals - order as much as you can as a group!

    I had driven by many times but a friend recommended it so I decided to try it. They have complimentary Valet Parking which is convenient as the location has minimal parking spots. The lounge has a great feel to it and I would recommend it for happy hour which they have ladies night on thursday. Andrew was our server and he was very knowledgable of the menu and very attentive. He recommended the Bang Bang Scallops and they were just that Banging. So flavorful with the Brussel Sprouts that melted in your mouth. Highly recommend to try this. It does come with 3 of them so if you are with 2 people I would recommend to order 2 if not you will be fighting for the 3rd one. Their twist on Sashimi Tuna is delicious and creative. This also brings 3 so hard to share for 2 people so we split the last one. The short ribs were cooked to perfection , this brings 4 of them so perfect for 2 people. We didnt get to order the Royal Tuna but that will be my next choice when I return looked delicious. They have a very creative drink menu and over all great vibe. I am looking forward to visiting it again. If you are in the fort lauderdale area and are looking for something different and fun with a great vibe and great food stop by this nice hidden spot.

    This place is a knockoff of Tao!!! The food is ok but the decor is so tacky. The decor is all over the place and not zen at all !!! Only go here if you want to be ripped of and so touristy. What a waste!!! Would recommend to just go to the real thing. First off the drinks are soo watered down!! The food lloks great but is so nasty. Our server was a little diva. The mangers is trying to rip people off and does not at all respect his customers and blames it on something else. They are trying to be a hip place but it is so tacky!!! This place is a mess. So class less!! Trashy place!!!

    We were super excited to try this place for dine out ft Lauderdale and were kind of disappointed...the food wasn't as good as it sounded. I think the place has potential to be great but they need to kick it up a notch.

  • Wendy N.

    Fantastic! Went with friends last night, the tapas were great and perfect size for sharing. We had the sliders which were totally glutten free and tummy. The pas Thai and spicy tuna rocked as well. Everythingwas great, the service, food and price kept us happy all night! I will definitely will be going more often

    Thanks to everyone's reviews my girlfriends and I went there for Thursday ladies night happy hour. The decor of the restaurant was modern and clean. The service was very friendly. The food was reasonably priced and very delicious. We were so impressed that we came back again a few days later. We will definitely go there again!

    After reading everyone reviews I decided to go and check them out for myself ...and I have to say it brings me back to NYC lounge restaurants the decor is beautiful,friendly staff, happy hour from 5-8 on food and drinks complimentary valet .... there is plenty of space they have different setting in each room this is not a hole in the wall ... the prices are affordable and your paying for great Asian food ... location is great its right outside of Ftlauderdale downtown so you won't be paying for parking or dealing with the annoying tourist ..... this is win win place

    So I had been driving past this place and wanting to come to this establishment for MONTHS so obviously I was overly excited when my boyfriend and I finally came here. At first sight, I was impressed with the somewhat fancy decor. It was a weekday so the place was very empty and there was not a wait to get a seat. The waiter was quite friendly and we perused the menu while he brought our glasses of wine. We decided on a sushi roll to start that was pretty good. I ordered the Sea Bass and my boyfriend ordered the Pad Thai. I was very excited about my meal but after picking about 5 fish bones out of my fish I had lost my appetite. I tried my bf's Pad Thai and it was mediocre compared to the fantastic hole in the wall, family owned Thai place we normally go to. I decided that for the price and disappointment I will not be going back to this restaurant. We already have favorite Sushi & Thai restaurants in Ft Lauderdale and this just did not measure up.

  • David W.

    We've tried Dapur twice. Food and service has been a mixed bag. I really want to love this place, but so far it doesn't measure up. Waiter / waitresses can't keep track of the tapas as they come out. Some were tasty and some not so much. The design of the dining is not so great either - very loud and feels a bit like a cafeteria. The decor is lacking as well. I'd recommend most of the other Asian restaurants in the area over this one. Try Bayshore, Galanga, Lemongrass, or Tee-Jay which are lower priced and better quality. Eddie, one of the owners is genuinely nice and a good businessman; so I'm sure this restaurant will improve.

    I went there for 'Dine in Fort Lauderdale' last night. Overall - I was not impressed. The service at the bar was slow - when we finally got a drink, it was just ok. Then we proceeded to the restaurant area to have dinner. We waited at our table before we were greeted for 10-15 minutes (and they were not that busy). Finally a nice waiter comes over to ask us if we have been helped (he is not the waiter for that section). He takes our drink order and tells us our waiter will be over. When our waiter finally comes to the table, he does not apologize for making us wait but proceeds to say ' I was just having such a great time with that table over there - they are the best table'. Huh?? Would you really say that to your new table? The food is the best part of this place. It is very good. Ceviche is awesome - would highly recommend. All in all, I would not rush back to this place. Maybe they were just having an off night. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since my friend I was with, has eaten there several times and really enjoyed it.. 2 of the items on the dine in Fort Lauderdale menu were not available (had run out from previous nights - per the waiter). With so many restaurants to check out in town, I expect a full experience (bar, food, waiter). When 2 of the 3 fail miserably, why waste my $$ when I can spend it elsewhere.

  • H. R.

    Nice. Worth a try?...maybe 1 time. Is it an amazing spectacular restaurant that I'm dying to go back to?.....hmmm. no. Dapur is one of those places that is hard to figure out....somewhere between 2 1/2 and 3 stars....with no real image. I swear....Dapur doesn't even know what it is. Sushi?....on the menu.....but absolutely nothing special. Bar/Club style hangout? I mean really.....is this the place you hang out when you live in S.Florida? (Enough said). I have been past this place a 1000 times....actually have my coffee at the Starbucks right across the street...but would have never thought about going in. From the outside...single story brick building...no appeal. Today, we were invited out to Dapur by some friends....so here we go. Pull up...Valet Parking (Nice touch) From the outside, all brick....a little old. Inside.....cool....a little bit of Miami-wanna-be....the bar lit up in pink and aqua blue lighting. To the right.....a separate dining area....darker decor with an Asian flare. Walked in.....hostess was busy. No greeting. Oh....don't get me wrong....No one else was there.....she was just preparing envelopes to be mailed out. No clue what......anyway As I walked by.....I quietly told her my party is already inside....don't think it mattered. Saw my party seated at the table....the dining area has a nice look. Our friends had already ordered a bottle of wine.....the waiter came over.....white wine....oops....but he didn't know how to open a bottle of wine. Not kidding......I mean...I didn't mind.....actually felt bad for the kid and offered to open the bottle.....but he was committed.....and with the help of our friends.....finally got it. Ordered some tapas (short ribs were good)... Brussel sprouts (I usually hate them....but they did a nice job....crispy fried..almost like chips). Without going on too long.....Dapur is o.k. ( the food is ok....the service is ok....the place is ok.) The staff unfortunately seemed completely untrained. Hostess not really alert on our way in or out.... waiter didn't know how to open a bottle of wine.....plates being picked up while eating.... just not professional. So much confusion . Is it worth a try....I would say....maybe once. It's ok.....unfortunately that is all. I really don't get the 4 Star and 5-star ratings at all....but to each his own. Advice for management from a guy who knows nothing about the restaurant business but spends quite a bit at restaurants he likes.....so here is an outsider's opinion for what it's worth..... 1) Remodel the outside to match the inside....so when 100,000 + cars pass by per day...they say...we should try that place. I mean I have coffee every morning across the street and when we were invited tonight.....I didn't even know that it existed. No appeal from the outside. It looks old...even the sign looks old....I honestly never thought the inside would look nice......but it does....now the outside has to match. 2)Train your staff.....you can't sell the image of a fine restaurant with a sloppy staff who look and act confused. This is not a high school part time job training class. When an establishment serves wine.....The staff has to know how to uncork a bottle. Also....do not to pick up entrees while people are still enjoying their meal......and leaning over people to pick up finished plates while people are eating.....well, you know. AND.....When I order Redbull/Vodka.....please explain IN ADVANCE...that you do not have Redbull but offer another energy drink. Because when I tasted the drink that was supposed to be Redbull/Vodka.....it was disgusting. .....and when I asked another waiter....they then explained to me that they do not serve Redbull.......but use another energy drink. Minor problem......that other energy drink tastes like sewer water. Come on.....step it up!!!!! With some management care....this place can be a nice restaurant.....but for now....this is it.

    Worst sushi rolls I ever had in my life, no wonder they have it 2 for 1, and many other specials, empty place! I have no idea how ppl rated it 4*. Probably all 5* are paid. I have worked at the Asian restaurant that use quality products and the food is amazing! Prices are the same as this place! At the Dapur soy sauce was absolutely tasteless, and was served in the nasty oily bottle. I love ginger and even that didn't taste right, probably the cheapest and made with pink coloring. Anyway, they need to improve quality of food if they want to get more business or make customers come back.

    We went there on recommendation from a foodie friend, expectations were high and we weren't disappointed. The interior is well decorated, atmosphere is very modern Asian. The menu: some familiar names (Korean short ribs) and plenty of new ones, miso cod just melts away in your mouth and begs for more. Corkage - $15 and glasses are decent, we won't be bringing our own glasses the next time we go there. Service - second to none. Accidentally I broke the glass and shatters got into my friend's dish. With no problems our server Ruben brought a replacement dish and didn't charge for something what was CLEARLY my fault. The deep fried cheese cake was memorable, good place and the evening to remember. Side note. The prices you see on the website are slightly lower than the actual new ones.

    We celebrated our wedding party at Dapur's recently and invited about 55 people to join in the celebrations. We recommend the roasted brussel sprouts, beef rendang and the lichi martini! Everyone was extremely impressed by the timely service and delicious food. Dapur's is by far one of the best Asian restaurants in Fort Lauderdale and we are certainly planning future parties here! Check out some of our pics!

    We have been to this place many times in the last few years. When I realized I haven't written a review I jumped at the chance. The service is quick and friendly, the food is fantastic and they always have some specials on either drinks or food. In terms of the appetizers, my favorite is the spicy tuna tar tar is fantastic! It is unlike anything I have tasted. The rice is like crack. I dream about it after I leave. The himachi jalapeno is my fiance's absolute favorite. It is very and spicy, but delicious. This last time, he got the fried rice and I had the pad thai. Both were warm, fresh and delicious. We will continue to dine here regularly. The bar is always pretty busy, dimly lit and the drinks they serve are fantastic. We have never eaten in there, but it always seems like a fun experience. Great food!

    My friend and I went for brunch last week. First, I asked the server if the unlimited sangria was red sangria and he said yes. It was actually Rose, and when I told him that he still thought Rose and red were the same thing. Since I couldn't drink it, I went to the bloody mary station. The bartender hounded me about a wrist band, which I didn't get from our server. It was only 4 tables in there, so I didn't understand the confusion. I had to go find my server to get a bloody mary. I still got charged for the unlimited even though I told the server I didn't like the sangria I specifically asked about in the beginning. I only had the one drink. The food was ok. The service was below average; not very attentive. The dim sum was overcooked, the pad Thai was edible, but mostly everything tasted like it had been out for a while. I used to work at a hotel, and we used to buy the same pastries they had. I hated the pastries at the hotel and I hated them at Dapur. They do dinner so well, it's unfortunate, but I don't think serving brunch is for everyone.

    Had a great evening all the way around. We showed up on a Saturday night without a reservation and the place was packed. Hostess said it would be about a 25-30 minute wait. We weren't in a hurry, though, so we gave the hostess a cell number to text us when our table was ready and we headed to the bar and had a drink. The bar area was busy, too, and a lot of people were eating dinner at the high-top tables as well as in the 'loungy' sofa seating areas. Even though the bar area was really jumpin,' the staff was quite attentive and there was nice buzz in the place. Looks as if there's a dance floor/karaoke stage that probably gets put to use on less-busy nights of the week, too. After we were seated in the dining room and looked at the menu, we decided to go the 'small plates' route for dinner, i.e., the tapas approach that's offered at Dapur. My date and I had the crispy Brussels sprouts (excellent), the bang-bang scallops (excellent), unbreaded calamari (just ok), Kobe sliders on sticky rice buns (excellent) and a basic Dapur tuna roll from the sushi menu (very good). As indicated above, the only 'miss' during our meal - and it wasn't a major 'miss' - was the calamari. It was just ok. Not bad, just not outstanding like the other items. Calamari was prepared nicely, but it didn't have a lot of flavor to it. Even the sauce on the side was very plain. Kinda tasted like regular mayonnaise. Next time, we'll probably try the tempura battered crispy calamari. Again, not a major issue. The presentation was great on all of the 'small plate' items, too. Everything was very nicely executed and they looked great when they arrived. And all of our 'small plates' were delivered tapas style, meaning that each dish was brought to the table as it was ready. Of course, everything was so good that we emptied each plate almost as soon as it was delivered to our table. Our server was quite knowledgeable about the menu, which was helpful during our ordering. He easily answered several questions that we had while making our selections. All in all, very good dinner and a great experience. Have to mention the decor, too. I suppose I'd call it contemporary/Asian/South Floridian/industrial, if that's an actual design style. (And I know that it isn't...!!!) It's kinda like, 'Miami Vice' South Beach Art Deco meets 1990s sushi restaurant meets small-venue dance club. But it's all very fun and creates a nice atmosphere for an evening of dinner and drinks.

    Great option for a weekend night out. This review is for the restaurant not the bar area. The decor is asian eclectic and has a cool funky vibe. We were a group of 5 and everyone enjoyed the meal. We did true tapas style and ordered a bunch of dishes and shared. The grilled squid was amazing as was the tuna tartare. We shared a bottle of great sake but I can't remember the name. The ladies had a nice chardonnay. I would definitely come back for the food but the service alone would make me come back our waiter was top notch.

  • Jim M.

    Our last visit here left much to be desired. The service was spotty and confused. Switching our server mid-meal because our first server needed to give more attention to a larger table. Then the new server wasn't very attentive and had a kind of "fake" personality. It was forced. The food was ok. I've had better if I'm being honest. I've been here other times and sat in the bar where I've had great service and the food was pretty good. I'll chalk this visit up to the stars not aligning that night. I'll have to give it another try to figure out if this place has went down hill or if it was a one time thing.

    The food they were able to get to us before we got tired of waiting and decided to leave was good - particularly the Brussels sprouts (as others have mentioned). We were served some of our food after a considerable wait, but then nothing else arrived. Unfortunately our server Erik M was not very attentive and actively seemed to be avoiding us once the meal went awry. Once we intercepted him and asked him where the rest of our food was (after a 45 minute wait, and no they were not packed, and yes the tables around us who were seated after us were served before we were), he said the kitchen was backed up. No further explanation, no apology, no offer of something to tide us over until the undetermined time when we'd be getting the rest of our meal (actually we never got the rest of our order). We kept waiting and waiting and waiting until finally we decided we needed more food and we weren't going to get it there so we had to leave. We told Erik this and he said he'd send the manager over; the manager never appeared. Owner (manager?) was milling around the hostess desk as I tried to get change for the valet; he did not seem very interested in managing the business, he was being videotaped for some news segment. From what you hear in the media, the economy is in trouble. These people acted like it was my privilege to be there. Extra disappointing because we were hosting a dear friend from out of town. We will not be back.

    Just. Not. Very. Good. Papaya Salad was best in show. Crispy Eggplant was basically a tempura style dish. It was ok. Miso Cod? Overcooked. Korean Short Ribs? You kidding me? Where was the meat??? Drama Queen Roll? Ok. Cry Baby Roll? Ok. The food matched the decor... which was... Just. Not. Very. Good. (NOTE #1: Corkage fee only $15) (NOTE #2: We sat by the "sushi bar". There were times when the finished sushi product sat on the counter for literally 10 minutes before a waitress would come to pick up same... that's an awful long time!)

    Second time here for dinner...this time was a group of 4. I can't think of anything to complain about. The parking is simple, the décor very nice and the atmosphere seems vibrant, upscale yet welcoming. We had 8 dishes. Brussels sprouts - very good. Calamari - this time fried but still good. Korean ribs - very well done. Scallops were excellent. Crispy eggplant was fresh and crispy. Papaya salad was tasty and a huge portion. Rock Shrimp was so good....couldn't stop eating. Kobe sliders melted in your mouth. Then dessert was chocolate dark volcano and fried bananas with ice cream. Perfect. Service was on point as we asked each dish to be brought out in 5 minute increments...and they did it. Asian tapas...I highly recommend Dapur.

  • Michelle J.

    If you go to the restaurant side, the service is wonderful. If you go to the lounge side the service is good WHEN they get to you. I love the food at Dapur, but every time I go to the lounge the wait for service is pretty ridiculous. If you choose the lounge, be prepared to wait. Maybe if it's just you and one other you can sit at the bar and get your drinks more quickly. On food alone I have to give it 4 stars. Even if you think you don't like brussel sprouts, order theirs. You will not regret it. I have yet to order an item I didn't like. A friend I recently went with said their scallops were some of the best she's had. Also, they send out, via snail mail, great coupons for birthdays and for being a patron, which is always nice and they have a special every night in the lounge area...so you'd think they'd increase staff.

    My husband brought me here for Mother's Day and it was amazing! The waiter described it as a Tapas style eatery so my husband ordered a bit of everything for our table of 4 adults. We started with the calamari which was lightly fried and served with an incredible sauce and the spring rolls which were also delicious. But the highlight of the appetizers was definitely the "Hot Tower" which was absolutely amazing! All were incredible and very appropriately sized. We then ordered 5 sushi rolls and all were fantastic. I would highly recommend them all, but my favorite was Fancy Roll, which is a California Roll with dynamite sauce. We then had the Sea Bass and even though we were all full, after taking one bite, it too disappeared completely! It was one of the best seafood dishes I've ever had and had the texture of butter as it flaked the second the fork got near it. We finished with the chocolate volcano cake with green tea ice cream and ate every single bite. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was very comfortable and trendy. The only dish we didn't love was the rice pudding, but I am convinced that it was a mistake. All said, it was an incredible restaurant that I'd recommend to anyone and I can't wait for our next visit!

    I really like this place, especially for HH. The main bar and lounge area is awesome - DJ spinning, room for dancing, good lighting. The staff is really nice (I wouldn't mind if they threw a girl ortwo behind the bar now and then, but that's just a personal preference), the food is great and so are the drinks - lots of signature offerings. The food has an Asian slant and is very well executed - lots of original sushi rolls, charred brussel sprouts, Asian seasoned edamame, etc. The best part is HH though - lots of $5-6 food and beverage offerings - and it's 7 days a week. It's a little out of the way on Federal around 18th St, but worth a visit. Good spot for before or after the movies at AMC by Target, btw.

    This restaurant is AMAZING! My father heard about it through a friend of his. We looked it up online and it said that the chef specializes in Indonesian and Malaysian cuisine. As me and my family are Indonesian, we HAD to try it because we had never found a restaurant with our cuisine before in our area, and my father cooks Indonesian food 6 out of 7 nights of the week. So needless to say, we had very high hopes and expectations and were not disappointed. We went with a group of 9, as I have a large family and we met some family friends. We had a reservation and were sat immediately upon arrival on a Saturday night. This restaurant has two parts to it. One side is to the left of the entrance and there is a full bar with some high tops dispersed and then a very cool lounge looking looking area with a dance floor and music (which got pretty busy as the night went on!) The other part of the restaurant is the main dining room, where we were seated. Note: the main dining room also has two very large banquet style rooms directly off of the dining room that were set up for large parties and they looked wonderful. The ambience in the restaurant is lovely, not too loud and not to quiet, not too bright and not too dark. The decor is very Asian style with cool chandeliers and warm, colorful lighting. And the patrons are even nice. My father was chatting it up with a couple directly next to our table for about ten minutes. So the feel inside the restaurant is very inviting. Now, for the food. We started off ordering 3 appetizers. The calamari, an eel roll, and chicken dumplings (panfried, 4 per serving). The calamari was gone in about 2.5 seconds it was that good. I don't eat sushi but my brother got the eel roll and let's just say he was hoarding it from the rest of the table. And the chicken dumplings...... The absolute best I have ever tasted in my entire life. I want to be clear. After ordering them the first time I ordered them a second time. And then a third time. Yes, 3 servings of them. On top of my meal. They were that good. Later on a our guests ordered the fried eggplant, I tried some and it was the perfect crispness. For our meals, my family and I were all very excited about the menu. There are SO many options! And we had seen some classic Indonesian dishes like beef semur and beef rendang. I ordered the beef rendang which is a slow marinated semi-spicy beef dish served with white rice, also comes with vegetables. I don't want to say that it was better than my fathers, but it was just as good. You could cut the beef with your fork it was that tender, with a shredded consistency. Very very flavorful. I also tried the fried rice that someone else got and it wasn't the typical fried rice, which made it so good, they've got the own spin on it and it's really worth a try. There were 9 different people at this table and I swear the entire dinner between bites we couldn't stop raving about how good this food was. Other dishes that my guests got and loved: the lamb and the steak. We had two birthdays at the table and for dessert they brought out chocolate cake like things served w chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream w sparklers and it was so sweet! The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and portions of the food. Good large portions. The service was great too, our server was very warm and even though there were 9 loud and sometimes inattentive people she was great! Overall this restaurant was such a lovely and refreshing dining experience, definitely recommend!

    Overpriced and mediocre at best. Tried out Dapur based on the reviews, maybe the standards for Asian fusion cuisine in the area are low- and that the proprietors think that flashy decoration can cover up a so-so menu.. but the proof is in the pudding and Dapur is expensive and not very good- and some items (like the sushi) are downright terrible. But if you can't tell the difference between good Asian fusion and Panda Express you'll fall for the colored purple lights and giant Buddha statue and think you're doing some fine dining and justify the price in your head. Get ready to spend some $$$, everything on the menu is engineered to get you to spend more- such as the price for sushi (which is for ONE piece, instead of two like any other restaurant) to the "Tapas style " small plates your waiter will try to get you to order and share that run up to $14 each and are tiny and about as exciting as bar food. Tally up 6-7 of those to feed 2 people and a couple of drinks and see what that comes to.

    This place is pure glory. Everything I try tastes amazing. Lamb, hot tower, sushi, rock shrimp, drinks, and the list goes on and on. Service is top notch, always attentive. Would recommend to every human that eats food. Cannot wait to got back. Btw insanely low happy hour prices!!!

    Had a groupon and came in to lunch with my boyfriend. The tuna tartar was nice and spicy. The spring rolls were also delicious. The fried rice was not so good. I'm part Asian and have never had anything like it. We traded it for the Orange chicken which was pretty good. When we sat down we were greated by a friendly waitress. Edamame was complimentary and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try something else!

    5 stars for food...amazing ‼ had lobster crunch roll and booster roll ‼ Sadly service 3 stars so middle is a 4. We saw our waitress at initial order and bringing us our salads, then not again until main meal plates were empty-and she didn't clear those. Then she was quick to bring check. Anyway will be back since rolls were great. Hopes for better service.

    Good food, great lighting and atmosphere. Drinks are strong and the dj is always fun. Nice crowd here too. We have had parties here and it's always been a fun night. Definitely a must in Florida. Has a NY feel to it, so that makes me very happy. Great happy hour too.

    I love this place. The bbq short ribs are the best I've had. Their yucca and meat app is yum as well. Try their brunch. Bottomless mimosas and/or Bloody Mary's and/or sangria.

    Dapur has got to be one of my favorite Sushi/Asian fusion restaurants around! I've had very enjoyable experiences every time I've gone. I especially love their happy hour specials! I believe they are everyday from 4-8pm and all day on Sunday, but only in the lounge. The sushi is very high quality and the cocktails are amazing. Most of the specialty cocktails are just $6 during happy hour!! I also really appreciate the friendly staff, especially the owner Edi who is super accommodating. I look forward to my next visit to Dapur.

    I am writing this review simply to tell you to not waste your money on the Sangria. At HH it was $5 a glass or $12 a pitcher so my boyfriend and I ordered a pitcher. The pitcher was extremely small. The sangria appeared to be nothing more than cheap pink wine with 3 tiny pieces of fruit in it. I would never think that I could be this disappointed in sangria, but don't waste your money.

    I had a going away party at Dapur last Saturday night. They were able to accommodate my party around 17 people. The decor inside is so beautiful; I love the warm colors. The vibe is very chill and laid-back. The bartenders and the staff are so attentive and so nice. The food is so unique and so are the drinks. I had the Kobe Sliders, Chicken Satay, a mojito and a cucumber martini. There was attention to detail and flavor bursting from every piece. I liked how the sliders were made with sticky rice buns as opposed to regular bread buns. And the beef was so juicy and perfectly seasoned. Drinks were not too sweet which was great. I love this idea of Asian tapas. I'm a big fan of Asian food in general. This place is an affordable yet trendy and gourmet take on Asian fusion. Next time I come here I'm definitely going to check out the dance floor. They were spending a lot of good music--reggae, house, hiphop, urban latin-- that really made me want to dance. I can't wait to go back to Dapur!

    I was just not feelin' this place, at all. Tried this spot for happy hour on a whim, pretty empty (but it was a Monday). Our waiter was really nice, and as helpful as could be - but the food just wasn't great. Ordered off both menus, so can't be blamed on "happy hour food." We sat near the bar, the room had a modern lounge type feel - but I never see that as a good thing in restaurants because it usually indicates the food is lacking in my opinion. The pros: Happy hour prices The edamame Tuna Hot Tower Large place, no wait The cons: I felt my roll was fishy - so then I switched out for a veggie roll & that tasted strange too. I always order ponzu sauce to dip my sushi in & this one had a very 'medicinal' taste. Parking is kind of a weird situation

    I've been meaning to go here because my neighbor knows the owners and raves about their expertise and I see they advertise regularly in HotSpots and I think it's imperative we support advertising dollars affecting our own communities. I'd also heard about their superlative brunch and figured the belated birthday of sweet Regina was the best time to see what the hype was all about. It is with great trepidation I continue this review simply because I might prefer it to be my own little coveted spot; although rest assured the tables were humming with customers during our repast so it is a quite popular eatery. And no wonder; the brunch comes with a select choice of very potent spirits; make your own Bloody Mary (with Ketel One - none too shabby), mimosas and some very intensely delicious Sangria. The food is more than abundant with serving stations in nearly every corner - piled high with fresh goodies (croissants, beef short ribs, chicken tenders, sushi, an omelet station, a make your own waffle station - the owners don't stint by any means in sharing a delightful cornucopia of brunch delights). But the added plus to Dapur's vibe? The seriously absolutely handsome staff of wait staff who are as generous as they are gorgeous - smiles and laughs abound with this very professional crew of hands on waiters and bussers which leave you wondering; why can't other restaurants function so flawlessly? With a happy hour that looks more than appetizing and with those certainly eye appealing waiters, I shall be back!

    The Sunday Brunch Buffet for $22 is amazing. They have dim sum carts going around with buns and dumplings. I posted a picture of the menu offerings. There is a buffet with the following: breakfast potato, crunchy chicken, short ribs, lamb shank, fried rice, white rice, oysters, baked goods, miso soup, spring roll, tempura veggies, sauces for dim sum, omelet station(with no line), waffle station, chilled salads, sushi. The food was good quality. The buffet was always being restocked. Staff was efficient with clearing plates and filling drinks. There is valet parking. I would definitely return for this brunch. They do unlimited mimosas or Bellini's for $15.

    Ok, but could be better. We came here for Valentine's Day, and despite it being packed our waiter was very attentive, although he did spill some of my drink on me while bringing it out. I did some research beforehand and decided to try the brussel sprouts and hot tower given their good reviews. The brussel sprouts were really disappointing - we got mainly charred scraps and even the somewhat larger pieces had a definite burnt taste to them. As for the hot tower, we were unaware of the limited Valentine's day menu, which did not have the tower listed. We asked our waiter about it, and he was able to get it specially ordered for us. I'm so glad he did, because it was the best dish of the night. For our main dishes, we got the lamb shank and pad thai. The lamb was HUGE, cooked well, and just fell off the bone, while the pad thai (came with both chicken and tofu) was nothing special but still tasty. Overall, it had a very trendy vibe to it, and the food and drinks were good enough for me to return, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Introducing Sunday Brunch at Dapur! This possibly can not get any more exciting as Brunch is $23.95 for an all you can eat Buffet including two different kinds of Sushi Rolls, Pastries, Waffle Station, Salads, Omelet Station, and those warming buffet containers filled with Asian Offerings. In addition, a Dim Sum Cart comes around with some dumplings. Between all of this it is split between two rooms. The main dining room, also where the majority of people dine is where the Sushi, Fruit, and 2 Salads are located. In the Lounge Area is where the rest of the stations are set up. Wouldn't it make sense to make it all in one room to give diners a better feel while dining in the main room and more space?! Bottomless Mimosas, Sangria, and Bloody Mary's are available for $14 or you can get one for $9-$10. The Bloody Mary Station is set up very nicely with nice garnishes and lots of hot sauces! You also get to pour your own Vodka as we were told but never given the opportunity to do so. As all the offerings explained above this Brunch could be soo much better! It fell short in many different ways but starting with the Mimosas. The glass that your mimosa comes in is a mini version and quite cute but not when I'm at brunch. They fill the glass over halfway full with heavy Orange Juice with Pulp then leave a smidgen amount of room for the Champagne. This however was the least of my concerns as we stayed plenty of time to get our share of bottomless bubbly. The Food was so disappointing I seriously could not have seen this coming for a mile. First up, Sushi, oh wait.. It's falling apart before it even gets on my plate and the taste.. That was nonexistent except for the soy sauce and rice. The "Salads" offered mind you are only 2 different kinds. One being Papaya and the other some kind of Cabbage Salad both being very unpleasant. Next, we ventured to the real deal! Pad Thai- Crispy Chicken- Mussels- Chicken Fried Rice- Short Ribs were in these warming containers. Not very good planning as why wouldn't there actually be a Pad Thai Station instead of Omelets or Waffles? I thought I was at an Asian Brunch. So of course everything in these containers was extremely overcooked, dry, and disgusting looking. The absolute WORSE Pad Thai we have even had!! The Chicken Congee was not horrible but then again I feel this is hard to really screw up. Pastries included Muffins, Mini Cinnamon Rolls, Banana Bread, and some other assorted pastries all definitely store bought and placed out there. When all else fails and you want another round go for the Waffle Station! This was dishearteningly the best thing I had at Brunch! Wait?? A waffle at Dapur?? I can not forget about that ever-so hopeful Dim Sum Cart as mentioned above! Ohhh yes I can as this was the ultimate let down for the morning. Really, really bad dumplings with too much gushy wrapping was inclosing the mini shrimps inside. Fail I was more than confidant that this would be the Brunch Spot for many many Sunday's to come but all we got was a mouthful of regret. After spending $100 with nothing to show for it. I regretfully do not recommend Dapur Brunch to anyone!

    I try to maintain a critical eye, but some places you just can't find a flaw. Dapur tonight was just about flawless. As with any review, the positives were based on what I like, but cripes I was a big fan of everything. From the top, there is no place to park. You can walk a block, or they have a rather quick and efficient complimentary valet. Nice guys by the way. The gals in the front were ready to line up a table right away but we wanted to soak in the bar ambiance for a bit first. Awesome people, great tunes(house music), and a vibe and defied what part of town we were in. It felt like we were somewhere on Brickle to be honest Once we snagged a table our server was right behind he steward to get our drinks. Killer martinis. Our starter was Brussels sprouts in a garlic blend. Tasty of course. This was followed by a couple rolls that I defy anyone to have made more delectably. Dapur clearly has an incredible kitchen staff, and front of the house people that take the restaurant experience seriously. A solid 5 star

    Easily one of the most creative, exciting, and tasty Asian fusion restaurants in south Florida. Our Bartender Robby is a master of his craft, and very hospitable. Right off the bat i ordered a Cucumber Gin cocktail which is out of this world. Then they served us stir fried edemame and brussel sprouts. Honestly i could just come here for the drinks and edemame. Best ive ever had. After it went to several tapas items selected for us. Spicy tuna tar tar, baked scallops, steak and yucca, but the dish that really shined was the lobster roll. Florida lobster tempura fried just melted in my mouth. By the end of the night myself and my family were beyond satisfied. Highly Recommended

    Arrived rather early (5ish) after dealing with traffic for 1 1/2 hours returning from Marlins Park. Stressed out for sure. Just entering Dapur had a calming effect. Greeted warmly and went to a high top in the bar area to take advantage of HH prices. Robbie introduced himself as our bar tender/server. Since it was not busy we were able to have great conversation with this intelligent, affable and talented mixologist. Told him about a favorite drink from Pinon Grill and he was up for the challenge of recreating it. He nailed it despite the fact that he was missing one of the herbs. He improvised and it worked. We had a couple of apps at the suggestion of Robbie. Normally would not order Edaname.(Pretty plain and boring). but he insisted it was fabulous. He even offered to pay for it so we would try it. We did. Outstanding. Flash fried in spices. So unique! Moved on to large plates. The crispy duck and chicken pad Thai were both outstanding. Loved the veges that came with the duck. The pad thai was very different than most we have ever eaten. It was in what appeared to be in a tomato based spicy sauce. It worked.

    We are always looking for good Indonesian restaurants in South Florida, particularly my wife, as it's that little taste of home. Needless to say, this is a bit of a challenge in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. With this in mind, we trekked north; because although Dapur doesn't wear it on it's sleeve, it is Indoensian owned and serves both Indonesian and Indonesian-influenced-fusion food. Like many an area restaurant, it explains it's small plate style like a local: Tapas. Interestingly, the idea of a restaurant selling small plates, a warung, is a very Indonesian concept also. Also mixed in to this fusion are Thai dishes with dashes of Filipino items here and there -- and, of course, the obligatory sushi/sashimi. The verdict: it's pretty good. Although not fully authentic Indonesian cuisine, it was overall well-prepared. We had: (1) Beef Rendang: Slow-cooked beef in a coconut sauce. It was a non-traditional interperetation, but quite good. This is one of their "big plates". (2) Martabak: Beef, eggs, scallions in a sesame soy sauce, with Indonesian spices. Another small plate. This one might take some getting used to if you haven't tried this cuisine. It's an acquired taste, but it was cool that they had it. My wife, the real expert in Indonesian food, declared it "acceptable". Since we were with friends who were sushi enthusiasts, we did also try a "lobster crunch" roll, which was fairly good, although not great. I would probably not come here specifically for the sushi, honestly -- as I feel for that there are likely better places. ATMOSPHERE: I must also mention that the service was good, and the ambience was really fun. Honestly, I'm not 100% sure whether we were in a club with really elaborate table food service, or a restaurant with a very club-like bar. This isn't a criticism. So, one half of the restaurant is a bar area, with dining areas, a big screen with videos and a dance floor. It was filled with pumping music. The other half houses the sushi bar and more dining space and is a BIT quieter. The two are basically on either side of an arched portal. We came a bit early, before it really got spooled-up, but by time we wandered into the night, the place was definitely filled with club girls and party boys in their best clubbing gear, and the lobby flooded with neon. This makes for a unique dining experience on multiple levels: If we weren't so darn old, we could have eaten an Indonesian/SE Asian fusion meal then danced-off the calories into the night. As it is, created a fun, lively experience.

    I've been to Dapur twice, once for happy hour and once for happy hour and dinner. The happy hour is a good deal. Most drinks are $6 with a few between $4 and $10 (draft beers are $3). Small plates are also available for under $10. The mojitos are recommended by the staff but I didn't taste much alcohol or think too highly of them so I only the one the first time and chose other cocktails following. My second visit was on a Tuesday to take advantage of Dapur's "Roll Me Up Tuesday" when sushi rolls are 2-4-1. The sushi was tasty and a good pairing with the happy hour drink specials. I've had the Red & White, the Lobster Crunch, and the Dapur Tuna and liked all three. I also had a coupon for a free entree that I got for my birthday because I had signed up for their mailing list on my birthday. I took home a shrimp pad thai and enjoyed it the next day. The bar has a nice lounge feel to it and there is a DJ at night on the weekends. Drinks get a 3, food a 4.

    Have been here for both full dinner, happy hour w/apps, and brunch, so this is an overall rating. Definitely a fan of dinner and happy hour. Happy hour is a great value w/a selection of discounted martinis and very reasonably priced small plates to share. The lighting in the bar is beautiful when set for happy hour/dinner times and I appreciate the artistic touches (an amazing mirror by the front door, a gorgeous, huge, gold Budda in the dining area). The brussel sprouts are the bomb! Brunch, however, is "meh". Dim sum is a BIG bonus though the remainder of options seemed a little limited to comparatively priced brunches ($40 per person to include unlimited mimosas or bloody marys). Part of the brunch is laid out in the bar area so it must be more fully lit, definitely taking away from that atmosphere. Also, our server SUCKED!! Let's just say he was doing a fantastic impression of both The Invisible Man and Dr. No (apparently his favorite word, a bit hilarious since he is in customer service). So bad that I actually spoke with management at the end and they handled it wonderfully and definitely made it where I shall return again for dinner and/or happy hour....as long as I don't get seated in the same guys section!

    If you are a person who understands food and enjoys the complexity of flavors, than Dapur is the place for you. Beautiful atmosphere is matched by high quality food and excellent service. Lunch is a great time to stop in. The lunch menu is extensive and affordable. With the very first bite you'll have no doubt to the freshness of the food. Flavors are subtle and enjoyable. Well done!

    Been here a number of times and once for an event. (Pan-Asian)food is delicious and priced well. It's great for groups Just don't think they have a good staff/customer service. Don't care much for the table and chairs, I feel if they can make their seating situation more inviting, it will enhance the dining experience.

    Delicious and great service every time! My favorites are the sliders, chicken steamed dumplings, & hot tower. The sliders are really original since they use sticky rice instead of a bun! Soo good! The atmosphere and decor is also great.

  • Ron C.

    It was everything you could want in a restaurant, it got just a little too busy with my server for her to give her best. I loved the Rock Shrimp, edamame, crispy calamari and the curry chicken big plate. Our server started out well, we had a party of eight it got started in the lounge with an awesome martini called "sinless." Mmmmm. Our server was also helping with another party, a party of 40. So it took a mo' before we got up to speed. Once we did, oh my! A great meal was upon us. I'm sure the large party thing won't be a norm but it did keep me from a five star rating. Try it you really enjoy the food.

    I have had Dapur Asia Tapas & Lounge bookmarked for almost a year now and always wondered, besides a great happy hour, what this place is really about. I had seen so many of my Yelp friends check in here multiple times so obviously we needed to try this place. Well we picked a perfect night to go, not knowing that the Smart Ride for HIV, which is riding 177 miles next week to Key West to raise money, was having their "Pre-Ride Party" there last night. Made the 50 minute wait a lot of fun, with a lot of interesting people in the beautiful bar ( IN PARTY MODE) to socialize with. The one problem in the bar was that with all these people attending, they only had 2 bartenders actively serving and it took so long to get drinks. One of the bartenders had to ask my 3 times how I wanted my Vodka and Tonic, but without going into the details, I can say the service in the bar needed a lot of improvement. I probably spent 20 minutes waiting to get my order, and to get it straight. On a much more positive note, the bar was beautiful, with a dance floor, stage and great music. Kept the whole place hopping all night, and was really fun. We got seated exactly when we were told we would be seated, and everyone at the hostess stand was really friendly. The dining room is not huge, but great intimate atmosphere with a really pretty sushi bar overlooking the room. Besides the great atmosphere at Dapur, the FOOD is what really makes this place great particularly the Sushi small combo plates and the Sushi Rolls on the Rolls and Raw bar menu. We started out with a couple great appetizers. THE TOWER, highly recommended to share, jumbo lump crab meat with avocado, Ahi Tuna and crispy rice, all nicely stacked up in, yes, "a tower". Great presentation with delicious sauce on the side. One might ask how to share this dish. Just "bring down the tower" by mashing it all together, take your chop sticks and dig in. Was delicious. THE MASTERPIECE: Seared tuna, sauteed spinach and mushrooms. Outstanding combination. The Scallop Appetizer was out of this world, again, highly recommended, served with sautéed brussel sprouts. This dish is so good, I would of ordered another one. My son ordered some of the best sushi rolls for dinner I ever tasted: Lobster Crunch Roll and THE FANCY, which was tremendous. The Fancy was a California Roll topped with warm Rock Shrimp and a delicious sauce poured over. My wife had the Sea Bass which served with grilled veggies and white rice on the side and she really loved it. I ordered the Crispy Duck with steamed veggies and rice. Do not recommend this dish, because when I order Crispy Duck, yes, it is crispy by virtue of the way most places broil it crispy on the outside, but the outside on this dish seemed fried. Texture was hard, not enjoyable and ruined the dish. I was really surprised. Do not expect the Crispy Duck here to be anything you normally expect in most Asian restaurants, if you are a Crispy Duck fan. The dining service: slow and inconsistent. There was no silverware on the table, only chop sticks, had to keep tracking down the waitress. When we ordered the appetizers, they only delivered the scallops first and before we got the rest, the waitress asked us if we wanted to order. I kept cool and just told her that we wanted the rest of the appetizers then we would order. Just a thing I have. Late night entertainment here is really great after dinner with a great DJ and music, as the meal was getting to the end could not wait to get back to the bar. Besides last night's service here, the place to me was a great night of fun and great food, except for the Duck. I loved Dapur enough to let that part slide, come back and hope the service is better. I have heard their Happy Hours are one of the best, so going to give that a try. I could not give this place 3 stars, I loved it too much. I hope to have a 5 start experience next time.

    Dapur not to be Confused with Dapper! I was just browsing Yelp and I noticed the review of Jeff F. And it brought back some bad memories I have of the place when I visited there over 2 months ago. It was a Sunday and there happy hour menu was in full force. I treated some ladies to some bottles of saki and I surveyed the place for the first time. Cheap fake looking decor. Small dance floor with a couple of couches to the side. A few table tops on one side and then the bar. There are two sections to this place (last I checked my first and only time there) awkwardly seperated. But my main problem was this: After pounding some sake and mingling with other locals for a few hours, I asked the bartender for a beer. And then the bartender, whom I had never really said heidi ho to all evening, bought me the beer! Because he said I had been so nice and bought everyone else drinks all night. Hmmmmm sounds fishy to me so I scanned my check a little bit later. The beer wasn't on there but 3 extra sakes were! I told him, he got mad, and gave me the "I was trying to be nice" speech, and corrected my bill. They seem to have alot of different group events. Be extra careful here if you attend one of those events.

    This is my second time to Dapur and both experiences were equally fantastic. We started with the rock shrimp both times (I have been craving since my first time) and the Masterpiece, which is exactly as described. One of the best things I have every eaten. The sauce is amazing, tuna was perfect and the mushrooms were a great touch. Our server was very attentive, our drinks never empty. My boyfriend got the Lamb and finished every bite. Said the veggies were the best he has ever had. Can't wait to go back. Eddie was an absolute doll and spent time making recommendations of dishes and ensuring we enjoyed everything. Can't wait to go back!!!

    Ducked in with Bernadette to help celebrate a birthday party and was I glad I did, here's why: * I got to enjoy a passed Egg roll finger food that was almost as good as * The Sushi Roll I ate afterwards! It was good too. * Good service * Cool decor * Bernadette has hottie, fun, and generous friends, SCORE! I remember back when this was a Brazilian Joint, I took my mother there for Mother's Day one time. Good stuff, looking forward to returning so I can try more food and maybe award that fifth, coveted STAR. Cabeza On Standby!

    Tried Dapur for lunch today and completely exceeded my expectations (former NY-er here). Had the chicken dumplings, brussels, coco curry fish and chic pad thai. All get a 5! Delish, tasty and full of flavors. Staff was super friendly and personable and my peach iced tea glass never stayed empty. Can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

    Though we walked in about 15 minutes before their lunch operating time was over Richard, the owner, greeted us with a smile and, because of my apologizing for coming in so close to their closing time between lunch and dinner, politely, without any pressure implied, asked us to get our order in before 2:30. Before I talk about the food and service let me say that the last time I had been here it was a Spanish restaurant with a completely different look. The inside is a lot bigger than you would think from the outside and the owners have completely redone the restaurant and bar area, the latter a huge separate room, a very big, bright and inviting space. The dining room is large, separated into 3 different areas, one for private parties, each very 'rich' looking and comfortable. The main dining room is dominated by a huge gold Buddha. Ryan and his helper, whose name I didn't catch, were very efficient and pleasant and the former had a smile that was as bright as the Buddha's! Allen ordered the Mandarin Chicken ($12.50) which was a cut up chicken breast on rice with an orange sauce and a side of Spring vegetables. With it he had a glass of Organic Jasmine Peach Iced Tea ($2). He thought there should have been more sauce on the plate to give some taste to the rice nor was he thrilled with the chicken 'bites'. I had the Kalbi Combo ($12.50) which is grilled marinated Korean short ribs with Jasmine rice and a side of Spring vegetables. With it I had a fountain diet coke ($2.) The meat was cut way too thin and cooked too long that it almost tasted like the proverbial 'shoe leather'. It seemed as if it had been sitting in the kitchen for an extended period. In spite of the disappointment in the food when we got in a conversation with Richard he talked a lot about the Sunday Brunch Buffet, for $22.95, that interested me enough to want to come to it. I did like two things that they did on the check that I don't often see. The first is they tell you how much each person in the party owed if they were splitting the check and how much the tip would be at 3 different percentages BEFORE any discounts! We had a groupon so instead of lunch costing us $36.74 including tip and tax we paid $25. Between Richard, Ryan, his helper, the ambiance and that Buddha, I certainly will give the Dapur Asian Tapas and Lounge another chance. SLIDESHOW youtu.be/HjVmWlP1_iQ

    I have been to Dapur 3 times now only after being introduced to it about 6 months ago. I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for years and pass this location almost daily. Man o man was I surprised as to what was on the other side of the entrance door... I felt as though I had been transported into a trendy Miami location. It was incredible. When you walk in you are first greeted by a hostess. To the left is a very posh lounge and to the right a beautiful dining area dressed with an enormous gold Buddha. On my most recent visit I brought a friend along for the experience and was a bit disappointed by the service. It was obvious that the two servers that were working were overwhelmed by a party of 12. No check backs to see how things were, water glass empty for 15+mins, and had to go to manager to order more food. I'm a server and I understand busy and in the weeds, however to be neglected for the amount of time that we were was just not acceptable. Manager should have helped out a bit versus being behind the host desk. Only after I asked the manager for more water and our waiter did I see someone watering tables. I will return because the Brussels sprouts are amazing and all of the other food for that matter. This particular night was not that great of a visit and was disappointed that my friend did not experience what I know Dapur to be. Maybe next time.

    Last week I took my family to Dapur and we had a blast. The service was impeccable, our server Natasha was a rock star, very knowledgeable and made the perfect recommendations for the evening. The bar is gorgeous and the atmosphere is top notch. I live in Southern California and must say that the Hollywood type atmosphere venues don't even hold a candle to what Dapur has to offer. Thank you Sam (management) for stopping by to make sure that we were well taken care of. I visit Ft Lauderdale once in a blue moon and this place is one of my required stops. Be sure to get the Spicy Tuna Tar Tar and the Lamb Shank, it falls right off the bone.

    Considering that majority of people here already wrote about the decor of the venue. I will say the following. Ladies night on Thursdays. Free bar house liquors (ie. rum and coke, vodka and cranberry, gin and tonic, etc. ) wine and featured list of specialty cocktails were $5 which is still a great price. The appetizers in the lounge area ranged from $5-8 for dumplings, chicken scewers, etc. so the price is VERY reasonable. Food tasted great! I had an order of chicken dumplings and 4 gin and tonics and my bill was $5.23. WINNING!!!! Service was great! our cocktail server was never too far for us to be able to order another round. Definately going to be my new Thursday Ladies night hotspot!!!! *for the guy who said the decor was tacky maybe they redid something because I have seen tackier for sure*

    I got a Groupon back in May which was a $35 promotional value for 3 small plates and two drinks (regularly $70). The Groupon process was super easy, the service was great, and we came at the perfect time, right before the dinner rush. It's very fancy on the inside but no one was dressed nicely and there were many children present so the intimidation factor was low. We ordered the Hot Tower, the Rock shrimp, and the Kobe sliders. For drinks we both had Lycheetinis. The drinks were good and had a generous amount of alcohol. The Hot Tower was DELICIOUS but really small. The rock shrimp, while plentiful, were covered too much with a bland, buttery coating. I couldn't even identify the flavor. The Kobe beef sliders come with a spicy mayo in between "buns" make of lightly fried sticky rice. It tasted like straight-up cat food. I'm glad I got to experience this place using my $35 Groupon because if I had paid full price for that experience I would've felt ripped off. As my dining companion so eloquently put it on the drive home, "That was some Chili's-grade bullshit."

    I've been to Dapur 5-6 times now (maybe more?) and have always had a great experience. The food is excellent, particularly the himachi jalapeno, the royal roll, and the aoli (something like that...?) roll. The servers are friendly and unintrusive and the atmosphere is romantic but fun. My boyfriend and I have taken four sets of guests there and all have reviewed it positively.
