I have eaten at many sushi places in Florida and New York and I have to say that Mr.Mee's has been and continues to be the best hands down. When you first walk in, don't judge this place on it's old-broken down decor and rude wait staff (they are the rudest wait staff you will ever encounter), I know it will be hard.. it is worth it though. The ingredients are so fresh and the sushi rice is just perfect. The sushi fish is amazing. I don't know how they do it, but they deliver some of the best sushi! The rolls are high quality as are the sushi dinner platters. Mr.Mee's can tend to get pricey but it's worth it. Their nigiri is some of the best I have ever had. I can't forget to mention the spicy peanut dressing. I have asked for spicy peanut dressing at so many other sushi places, always to be told they do not carry it. Mr. Mee's needs to bottle that stuff and sell it wholesale because it is addicting! I have been going to Mr. Mee's for nearly ten years now, the same women work there and they have gotten ruder with age but it's just something you endure for wonderful, fresh sushi!

The best sushi in Fort Myers hands down. I'm am also a fan of the Pad Thai and Masa Man. On a busy night, service can be show, so enjoy some sake or glass of wine and order an appetizer. It's worth the wait, I promise!

The best spring rolls I have ever eaten in my life! The sauce makes the dish! The food is delicious, the waitstaff lovely, and the place cozy. Their tempura is light and fluffy, and the home made kimchi tangy and bright. The sushi is great too! Volcano rolls are yummy. I really love it there and go once a week.

Absolutely the best sushi in Ft. Myers! I've been going to Mr. Mee's for the past 10 years and it remains one of my favorite places to eat in town. The sushi is fresh and expertly prepared and the staff is friendly. Other than the sushi, I also love their pad Thai, and chicken bulgogi. I've had sushi at every other place in town and Mr. Mee's is hands down the best!! Some of my favorite sushi are the spicy tuna hand roll, the Philly roll, and the Lisa roll.

Great sushi, good location. It is outdated on the inside, and you might not feel entirely sure that you should be eating sushi in a hole-in-the-wall strip mall, but it is fantastic. The service is just okay, and the food is a bit expensive.

Have had sushi all around the world-high end and low. This is a hole in the wall but the best sushi I have had period!!!!!!!! Been coming here for years and it is always superb. Everything always taste so fresh and crafted perfectly. When I'm out traveling I always request my favorite mr mee's roles to be made but the are never as good as the authentic!!!! Price is quite fair too. We take our baby who always makes a mess and they love her and play with her anyways!!! Many said staff is rude but I think it's just cultural and language differences. My favs caterpillar roll and spring rolls yummy yum.

Wow beautiful ! If you travel toward this area.Don't Hesitate to go out of your way. You will be so glad you did. I ordered The Spider Roll and asked for a Custom Made to Order Smoked Salmon Roll. However, the Not Impressed with the Sushi. Rolls, were very smallll. And I ordered from the Regular Menu. Not "The Lunch Special" Menu. Presentation was poorly executed. From all the Sushi Restaurants I have and will visit. Very Valuable Lesson Learned. Will not visit a place, that serves an array of Asia Cuisine. Meaning "Jack of All Trades Master of None". This establishment Serves Japanese, Thai, Korean,etc... The server was very helpful and polite. Apologized for the Imitation Crab. Which in reality it's a Cold Water fish Pollack. It's ground and formed/shaped into almost any substitute you'd like even Lobster meat. If you do not mind paying for the Faux Crab(they generally spell it w/a K or the Faux Lobster). FYI:Ck out a pkg at your local Grocer and see if your ok W/the other added ingredients). Visited the Restroom. And it needed some TLC. Well,scratching this one of the Yay List:-( Thought I'd pass the info save you time and $ And the Quest continues. Happy Fooding:-)

Food is good and should be 4 stars for that, but the server who is not korean and speaks perfect English gave us an attitude when we asked about the curry they used. Instead of saying "sorry but we only serve red curry" she said: " I don't know what you mean red green or yellow curry. We only have red and sometime it comes out as red-yellow because we mix with coconut milk that will turn it yellow. " Wow. Really?

I stopped in for lunch. I ordered chicken sate with peanut sauce, miso soup and pad Thai. The miso soup came first. It had good flavor with some seaweed in it but lacked mushrooms. The chicken sate came next. Five nicely charred skewers of breast meat flavored with five spice with peanut sauce for dipping. The pad Thai came last. It had chunk chicken and tail on shrimp. It had just enough sauce and a bit of a kick to it. All in all it was a good lunch. I'd go back.

What a good idea it was to come here tonight! I'm quite picky when it comes to sushi and Mr Lee's didn't let me down. The space is nice and the staff was very friendly. Sat at the bar and the staff banter was hilarious. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Tataki and it was amazing, very fresh. Would love to come back on my next visit. 5 stars!

Barrett B.
The Korean food is authentic. It's abit commercialized but it's good. The three different kinds of kimchi all have that vinegary bite that means it's aged well enough. The bean sprouts are blanched but still fresh an crunchy. Whether you take out or sit an eat, you'll enjoy this as much as I have, unless you have no tastebuds. Then your missing out.

Lau H.
Came here with a couple friends for a birthday dinner. Been craving Korean food for awhile so I order the Kalbi (Korean short ribs) and soon tofu (spicy tofu soup) was very satisfied with my meal. The only thing was they added too much bell pepper in my soup so the taste was strong but still tasteful. Started to get a lil busy and they only had two servers but our server still managed to help and give us attention.

This is the place where I fell in love with sushi. We used to pile in here when I was in high school. Good memories tricking unsuspecting friends into eating big hunks of wasabi and a lot of first dates. Glad to see they're still going strong.

Mr. Mees is my favorite sushi place in town. My husband and I are picky about our sushi, we've been to other sushi places in town and continue coming back to Mr. Mees. The service can be slow if it's busy, just like any other restaurant. But if you want a good experience, sit at the sushi bar. I haven't ordered much off the regular menu - I tried the pad Thai once and it wasn't the best. The menu items are hit or miss. I would stick with the sushi.

New in town, just moved from miami. This was the first place recommend to me for sushi. All in all the sushi was good quality and they gave big pieces if fish which was good because you get what you pay for fish not rice,lol. The one down side was the soda it was horrible ,it was machine soda ,it was to sweet n had no gas.= (. Next time I'll skip the soda n have a beer. All in all good place.
Sit at the sushi bar. Excellent and entertaining. This place doesn't look like much from outside but the sushi was great.

The sushi at this restaurant is great. I had the volcano scallop and it was delicious. The Tom Yum Gong soup is also great. Also the Pad Thai is excellent and they are very generous in the amounts served. The restaurant is clean, they have good prices, and the waitresses have been very nice (I have been there already three times and I'm planning on going back). Only once we had a problem with the service but it was not the waitress' fault. There were two big groups of people who ordered sushi so I had to wait almost 45 minutes to get my meal. However, the waitress explained the situation and kept us updated. I will definitely go back!

We were slightly nervous after reading reviews about service, but for our visit at lunchtime, we had great service. The staff was very helpful in helping assist in selections. We thought the decor was well done for the look they were going for. Our sushi rolls were excellent. Our Korean entree was delicious and seemed authentic. Loved the green tea. If you happen to be in the area, give it a try.

Very simple and straightforward low energy strip mall Far East eatery, nice warm welcome and loyal customer base. Menu is small compared to most and feels like a thoughtful and well done guaranteed delicious result. We started with miso soup and the iceberg salad w the ginger dressing-- no drama here. Hot green tea w warm sake and a glass of pino Grigio -- also fine. The Thai crispy egg rolls were hot and fresh! Very nice followed by a generous chef choice sashimi selection. I ordered a four PC sushi w a side of kimchee. Sadly the kimchee wasn't from the same district my friend was who used to make this for me in Frankfurt Germany in the 80's!!!! Miss the stuff, Soon W!! Not hot enough and spicy in my mind. We loved the lunch but understand its a good chef using good technique and strives for good result. This is simply good food you will be happy with.

I live for the Catepillar Roll! Delishhhhh! Also love the volcano, spicy tuna roll and a few others I can't remember right now. It's quaint, it's cultural, the servers are always extremely polite and attentive. The chicken fried rice and yaki soba are delish too, if sushi is not your thing. We always have the shrimp tempura for starters and the ginger soy sauce that comes with it is the bomb, I keep a little for my sushi. I simply love it here. Wish I still lived in the area, but everytime I visit I either eat here or do a take out. Lovely local sushi place!

Martin H.
Hard to believe, considering their strip-mall location, but this is the most delicious, most authentic sushi in Fort Myers. It took me forever to realize it was even there, but I am so glad I went. Everything is delicious, the service is fantastic, the prices are good for sushi of this quality. If you like classic, fresh sushi without many gimmicks, this is your place.

Mary M.
Hands down best sushi in FTM. Don't let the outdated look of the place fool you they have the best Asian & Japense food in Fort Myers besides Siam Thai in NFM. I have been going to Mee's for about 10 years now and always get the exact same order, it's that delicious. The waitstaff is rude, displacent, and tend to make you feel like a burden more than a customer - but the food is seriously worth it. Try the brent roll w/ Cream Cheese & their house salad... dressing is perfect. I buy it to-go! If they are busy either be paitient or expect a bad experience because the owner fails on all levels of customer service.

This place is fantastic. It impressed me so much I created an account just to rate it! My boyfriend and I went there around 4 pm so it wasn't very busy, there were only two other tables occupied, but it got busier as we left close to 6. I really liked that I didn't feel rushed to finish my food and leave. The waitstaff was actually very nice. Our server was attentive and helpful. She kept our drinks filled and joked around with us. I ordered the Dinner B combination and the boyfriend got the Dinner D. There was A LOT of food. Not only are they large trays filled with food, but it comes with soup and salad as well. I got the chicken soup and he got the miso. I tried his miso and it was Wonderful. I used to think I hated miso soup, not true, I just apparently hate bad miso. Both soups were great and the salad was flavorful and crisp. The sushi was very fresh and the shumai was very very good. To sum it up: I have not one bad thing to say about this place. Truly fantastic. Do yourself a favor and try it.

I have sushi in every city I travel to. This is one of the best I have had. Friendly service. Great food. Expertly crafted, and the sashimi was of the highest quality. (Which should be everyone's benchmark for judging quality in my humble opinion). Absolutely great.
(5)
Cameron C.
The food and price here is very good. The service has also been fine. They do have a variety of Asian style dishes including Sushi and Thai as well as some others. The atmosphere is probably the only thing negative. It is a bit small and feels like a strip mall style eatery but it is clean and well furnished. Places like Kumo may have more flair but Mr Mees is a better value for the dollar.
Great place for lunch, try the Pork Bulgagi! They have a menu full of delicious offerings, but I keep gravitating back to the Pork Bulgagi. The sushi menu is comprehensive and the ingredients are very fresh. This is a great place to bring a group of sushi-lovers, as the portions as big and the menu has something for everyone. Your non-sushi partygoers can go with Korean BBQ or a number of other menu items. They won't disappoint.

Angela S.
If you want somewhere quick but so so on taste, this is your place. Presentation was good. They don't skimp on the amount of fish on top of or in the roll. I got a rainbow roll and it had a beautiful amount of fish on top. The overall taste of the fish was bland though, I didn't experience those mouth watering tastes those types of fish generally have. Not the best place I've been but definitely far from the worst; I would give it another whirl. Rating you up based on sizing and amount of fish per roll, rating you down on overall taste.

Elizabeth H.
We really enjoy the food here, sushi chefs make the experience. Korean short ribs are really tasty. Deducted a star because the decor is very so so. Over all the food makes it worth the visit. We always sit at the sushi bar and chat with Sam and Noah the sushi chefs. I posted a picture of them, sorry Sam I posted you as Bill.

I have loved this place for years and eat there about once a week. Fresh excellent sushi. By far the best in Ft. Myers. Not sure what the person saying their sushi was warm is taking about. I sit at the sushi bar once a week and everything is fresh, cool, and quickly served. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but if you want the best sushi in town this is the place

Leslie L.
It's tough to find good sushi anywhere and to my surprise I found one of the best sushi I've had in awhile and of all places in fort myers. So obviously my husband and I are thrilled. The staff here are very friendly as well. I moved out here a year ago from california, and even in california I couldn't find great sushi. Try the kick up roll, it's awesome!

Libby F.
Best sushi in town!! Try the crazy roll! Also the tuna tataki is expensive but totally worth it. I always add avocado slices to it :)
(5)
Joe C.
It is my opinion that Mr. Mee's is the best sushi you will get in Fort Myers. The sushi is always fresh, well made, and large. It is located in a strip mall and isn't very attractive. Establishment is a bit out dated and a bit worn down. That being said, the staff is wonderful. Always nice and friendly, if you go more then a couple times they will remember you. I haven't eaten much other then their sushi. Tried their crab fried rice and it was very good. If your looking for quality sushi with no frills this is the place. Two thumbs up!

Best sushi in town! The rest of the menu is hit or miss. But if it is sushi you are craving, this is your place. Small, family owned joint. Love supporting local businesses like these.

I would consider myself a pretty avid sushi eater and while on vacation or any other destination, we try to find the best sushi we can. We took a look at the reviews on here and frankly the people on here don't know what good sushi is. My wife ordered two rolls which were labeled with "hot sauce" and when they came out, it was with a spicy mayo. She isn't a fan of mayo in general so that turned us off. What killed us is that there were several rolls which were labeled to have spicy mayo. I ate her rolls anyway and they were nothing to write home about. The spicy salmon roll was rather bland and the interior of this sushi place was anything but fine dining. I had some teenage kids sit down in mesh shorts behind us. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Mr. Mee's has been in business for 12 years in the same strip mall as Sam's Club, across from Page Field. The interior is actually nicer than you'd expect from the location; however, we were getting take-out sushi, so we only got to look the place over while picking up. We had three sushi-hungry folk, so we got the "Sushi for Two" extravaganza of nigiri sushi with a tuna roll and a Cali roll, miso soup and salads for two, then two more Cali rolls (my husband loves 'em), and that totally stuffed the three of us. The miso was good, and chock-full of kombu (which was rather thicker than we were used to) and cubes of soft-texture tofu. Not sure about the tofu, I think I prefer mine a little less custardy, at least in soup. The salad had a tasty dressing; aside from that it was mostly iceberg, but fresh and in small manageable pieces. Now for the sushi: whoah, there was a great variety. There was quite a bit of tuna, and at least four pieces of salmon, some mackerel, some hamachi (yellowtail), two octopus that had been softened up, some squid, two shrimp, at least two smoked eel, and two escolar (AKA "superwhite tuna," this is not tuna at all. It's also known as Waloo or Ono, and it's been banned for sale for human consumption in Japan since 1977. It is completely legal here in the US, and it's one of nature's laxatives -- so none of us ate more than one piece. It is, however, very tasty, and the fat - wax ester - that it contains is like Olestra: your body can't use it because the molecules are the wrong "handedness" for your physiology. Which means it can satisfy a fat craving if you are on a ferocious diet without actually delivering usable fat. Just don't eat too much of it: in no case more than 6 oz!). There were also the aforementioned rolls. Texture on all of the fish was excellent, the octopus pieces were surprisingly tender. The salmon had a light smoke to it, the hamachi had a good texture but less flavor than usual (not sure why -- refrigeration?), the mackerel seemed very fresh and good, the escolar also seemed very fresh and good. All sushi was cut very generously: the fish was large enough that it hung over the rice at both ends, and was cut thick, not the see-through cut some places do. The presentation was excellent given that the food was to go! We'll be visiting again in future, either for takeout or dine-in. Three people fed like kings for about $20/ea including everything. You could definitely go home full for less :-)

I didn't really enjoy the food or my experience here. My entree was not as described on the menu and instead of spicy it was quite bland. The highlight was the warm farewell from the sushi chefs, and I didn't even have sushi.

Carl M.
Cozy little place. Seems to be Korean-owned, which makes the Korean menu (a very rare find in the area) worth trying out. Service is pretty good, but its the grab any waitress from across the room style instead of the more intimate server-per-couple-of-tables that most diners are probably used to. Strangely stingy on the ban-chan (Korean side dishes,) especially considering that those are normally free (and plentiful) in most Korean places. Sushi is top tier for the region (though, that's honestly not extremely high praise.) A great choice for Asian food for the area, friendly staff.
(4)
Webb B.
Ate there again last night, as we go usually once every few weeks. Another great experience, truly some of the most fresh, and well prepared sushi in Ft. Myers area. Much more of a family atmosphere that the trendier sushi places. Always a good group of people there and sushi bar conversations are common & very entertaining.
(4)
Laura H.
Solid choice for Korean food, I haven't had the sushi here. We used to go to Oragami all the time, before they hiked their prices and downsized their portions. We always order the Be Bimp Bap, Duk Guk (Rice Cake Soup) and Kimchee Jigae (?). The service is nice and will keep bringing side dishes if asked. :)
(4)
Matt G.
Without a doubt, the best sushi in the Fort Myers area. I've been to several sushi places in the Naples/Fort Myers area, and so far none have impressed me as much as Mr. Mee's. There are other trendy places in the Naples/FTM area which may look a lot more fancy than Mr. Mee's, but their food doesn't compare. I live nearly 40 miles away, and I'll drive out of my way to go here every so often. Try the "Puppy Chow" roll.

Erica B.
I had lunch here the other day with my coworkers. I had the chicken teriyaki and it was out of this world! My coworkers ordered two types of rolls - and both were excellent. Our waitress took her time explaining the menu and making recommendations. The decorations in the restaurant are nice, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

Jacob B.
Service was very good. Menu has lots of options, japanese, korean, thai. My mother had a korean snapper dish, which looked very spicy, and was somewhat spicy, but mainly very fresh. I had a Bento box of sushi and sashimi. The sushi was good, but not the best I've had. Atmosphere was pleasent. I would definitely return.

Yoanna J.
Ok i am soooo not impressed. sushi was not fresh staff was in there own world. I dont know what was going on here. If you want not so fresh sushi and not so great service this is your place. the place was dusty and small all around D- Happy eating.

Deborah C.
This is one of Fort Myers' few decent sushi restaurants. Lee County is a hopeless wasteland when it comes to ethnic food, but since sushi is so mainstream now, and since the area gets quite a lot of fresh fish, Sushi is the most logical. Mr. Mee's tries to cover several oriental areas. They do Thai, Korean and Japanese food. I haven't tried all of them, but what I have had there I've enjoyed. (I had my first eel here.) The place is nothing special, but it's got decent atmosphere, in the windows are tables that you sit almost on the floor at and have to take off your shoes.
(3)
Heidi D.
This place is a hidden gem in strip-mall. It's the opposite of Blu Sushi- the food is great, but the atmosphere is dull and the sake is just ok. I totally agree with Deborah about Lee County being a wasteland when it comes to ethnic food. But if great sushi is what you're looking for, this is the one place to find it :)
(4)
James W.
Sushi is fresh and nicely prepared. Owners are Korean, so I look to that side of the menu. Their Haemool Jigae is wonderful. It's a soup made with Crab, fish, shrimp, squid & mussels and veggies. Unlike most Korean restaurants that automatically serve a variety of small-serving Korean appetizers with Korean orders, you need to ask for them here. I'm talking about kim-chee, roots of some sort, pickled bean sprouts and something else I can't recall. One waitress is exceedingly friendly, the others are a bit shy. They warm up when they i.d. you from previous visits. I love the place. Try it and order what I suggested above....it's cheaper at lunch and I think it's the same portion as the evening's.
(4)
Devin M.
I must have eaten at Mr. Mee's after they read the two previous reviewers' comments. I found the restaurant to be quite enjoyable for sushi. I like the window booths that were modified traditional Japanese style tables with hole cut in the floor so you could sit comfortably. The sashimi was fantastic and fresh. My friends eat their sushi all the time (as do I) and claim it's the best in the Fort Myers area. I love going back.

I have eaten at many sushi places in Florida and New York and I have to say that Mr.Mee's has been and continues to be the best hands down. When you first walk in, don't judge this place on it's old-broken down decor and rude wait staff (they are the rudest wait staff you will ever encounter), I know it will be hard.. it is worth it though. The ingredients are so fresh and the sushi rice is just perfect. The sushi fish is amazing. I don't know how they do it, but they deliver some of the best sushi! The rolls are high quality as are the sushi dinner platters. Mr.Mee's can tend to get pricey but it's worth it. Their nigiri is some of the best I have ever had. I can't forget to mention the spicy peanut dressing. I have asked for spicy peanut dressing at so many other sushi places, always to be told they do not carry it. Mr. Mee's needs to bottle that stuff and sell it wholesale because it is addicting! I have been going to Mr. Mee's for nearly ten years now, the same women work there and they have gotten ruder with age but it's just something you endure for wonderful, fresh sushi!

Food is good and should be 4 stars for that, but the server who is not korean and speaks perfect English gave us an attitude when we asked about the curry they used. Instead of saying "sorry but we only serve red curry" she said: " I don't know what you mean red green or yellow curry. We only have red and sometime it comes out as red-yellow because we mix with coconut milk that will turn it yellow. " Wow. Really?

I stopped in for lunch. I ordered chicken sate with peanut sauce, miso soup and pad Thai. The miso soup came first. It had good flavor with some seaweed in it but lacked mushrooms. The chicken sate came next. Five nicely charred skewers of breast meat flavored with five spice with peanut sauce for dipping. The pad Thai came last. It had chunk chicken and tail on shrimp. It had just enough sauce and a bit of a kick to it. All in all it was a good lunch. I'd go back.

What a good idea it was to come here tonight! I'm quite picky when it comes to sushi and Mr Lee's didn't let me down. The space is nice and the staff was very friendly. Sat at the bar and the staff banter was hilarious. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Tataki and it was amazing, very fresh. Would love to come back on my next visit. 5 stars!

The Korean food is authentic. It's abit commercialized but it's good. The three different kinds of kimchi all have that vinegary bite that means it's aged well enough. The bean sprouts are blanched but still fresh an crunchy. Whether you take out or sit an eat, you'll enjoy this as much as I have, unless you have no tastebuds. Then your missing out.

Came here with a couple friends for a birthday dinner. Been craving Korean food for awhile so I order the Kalbi (Korean short ribs) and soon tofu (spicy tofu soup) was very satisfied with my meal. The only thing was they added too much bell pepper in my soup so the taste was strong but still tasteful. Started to get a lil busy and they only had two servers but our server still managed to help and give us attention.

This is the place where I fell in love with sushi. We used to pile in here when I was in high school. Good memories tricking unsuspecting friends into eating big hunks of wasabi and a lot of first dates. Glad to see they're still going strong.

Mr. Mees is my favorite sushi place in town. My husband and I are picky about our sushi, we've been to other sushi places in town and continue coming back to Mr. Mees. The service can be slow if it's busy, just like any other restaurant. But if you want a good experience, sit at the sushi bar. I haven't ordered much off the regular menu - I tried the pad Thai once and it wasn't the best. The menu items are hit or miss. I would stick with the sushi.
(5)Edward N.
Excellent sushi, great service and reasonable prices. We visited this restaurant w our adult children and they all loved it. We would definitely come back!
(5)Maria S.
Don't judge this place based on the strip mall! The pad thai is amazing and the price is right, even for drinks! A hidden gem!
(5)Satya M.
Great place for Korean, Thai and Japanese food. I would rate the sushi above average (still delicious - Sry I am sushi snob). Love the Korean short ribs and thai red curry. Service is really friendly, decorum is interestingly authentic. One of the few must visit places.
(4)Nick L.
I have had a lot of sushi in my days but I will have to say one of the best place to have sushi. The place looks good, people where very friendly. And above all the food could have not gotten any better.
(5)Elisa M.
Doesn't deserve any stars The strong overpowering scent of pinesol is enough to turn you away but if you're still brave enough to stay you can encounter an insect or two. I Saw a roach crawling on the table immediately left. Disgusting establishment the health inspectors should be involved.
(1)Tim M.
Excellent food, great service, very friendly, and authentic! If in Ft. Myers and you like sushi I definitely recommend!
(5)Glenda F.
New in town, just moved from miami. This was the first place recommend to me for sushi. All in all the sushi was good quality and they gave big pieces if fish which was good because you get what you pay for fish not rice,lol. The one down side was the soda it was horrible ,it was machine soda ,it was to sweet n had no gas.= (. Next time I'll skip the soda n have a beer. All in all good place.
(4)Rob H.
Ate here for the first time at the recommendation of the Yelpers. We were not disappointed at all. The food was flavorful and the waitress was fantastic. Our sushi was very fresh and some of the rolls were different from what we get in So. California so we tried them. All in all a very good place to eat and we will surely return when we come back into town. Prices were around $15 for an entrée and $6 for 2 pieces of tuna sushi. Very fair and reasonable. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.
(4)Andy D.
Sit at the sushi bar. Excellent and entertaining. This place doesn't look like much from outside but the sushi was great.
(5)Nel R.
The sushi at this restaurant is great. I had the volcano scallop and it was delicious. The Tom Yum Gong soup is also great. Also the Pad Thai is excellent and they are very generous in the amounts served. The restaurant is clean, they have good prices, and the waitresses have been very nice (I have been there already three times and I'm planning on going back). Only once we had a problem with the service but it was not the waitress' fault. There were two big groups of people who ordered sushi so I had to wait almost 45 minutes to get my meal. However, the waitress explained the situation and kept us updated. I will definitely go back!
(4)Sam M.
We were slightly nervous after reading reviews about service, but for our visit at lunchtime, we had great service. The staff was very helpful in helping assist in selections. We thought the decor was well done for the look they were going for. Our sushi rolls were excellent. Our Korean entree was delicious and seemed authentic. Loved the green tea. If you happen to be in the area, give it a try.
(5)E. M.
Very simple and straightforward low energy strip mall Far East eatery, nice warm welcome and loyal customer base. Menu is small compared to most and feels like a thoughtful and well done guaranteed delicious result. We started with miso soup and the iceberg salad w the ginger dressing-- no drama here. Hot green tea w warm sake and a glass of pino Grigio -- also fine. The Thai crispy egg rolls were hot and fresh! Very nice followed by a generous chef choice sashimi selection. I ordered a four PC sushi w a side of kimchee. Sadly the kimchee wasn't from the same district my friend was who used to make this for me in Frankfurt Germany in the 80's!!!! Miss the stuff, Soon W!! Not hot enough and spicy in my mind. We loved the lunch but understand its a good chef using good technique and strives for good result. This is simply good food you will be happy with.
(3)Ariel F.
The best sushi and Thai food in Fort Myers. Period. I eat sushi everywhere I can and this beats the competition by a long shot. Food is fresh and prepared in a timely manner and the prices are crazy cheap!
(5)Jade C.
I live for the Catepillar Roll! Delishhhhh! Also love the volcano, spicy tuna roll and a few others I can't remember right now. It's quaint, it's cultural, the servers are always extremely polite and attentive. The chicken fried rice and yaki soba are delish too, if sushi is not your thing. We always have the shrimp tempura for starters and the ginger soy sauce that comes with it is the bomb, I keep a little for my sushi. I simply love it here. Wish I still lived in the area, but everytime I visit I either eat here or do a take out. Lovely local sushi place!
(5)Martin H.
Hard to believe, considering their strip-mall location, but this is the most delicious, most authentic sushi in Fort Myers. It took me forever to realize it was even there, but I am so glad I went. Everything is delicious, the service is fantastic, the prices are good for sushi of this quality. If you like classic, fresh sushi without many gimmicks, this is your place.
(5)Mary M.
Hands down best sushi in FTM. Don't let the outdated look of the place fool you they have the best Asian & Japense food in Fort Myers besides Siam Thai in NFM. I have been going to Mee's for about 10 years now and always get the exact same order, it's that delicious. The waitstaff is rude, displacent, and tend to make you feel like a burden more than a customer - but the food is seriously worth it. Try the brent roll w/ Cream Cheese & their house salad... dressing is perfect. I buy it to-go! If they are busy either be paitient or expect a bad experience because the owner fails on all levels of customer service.
(5)Barney G.
Great fresh sushi! While from the outside it appears as a white screen to block out the sun, inside get ready for delicious SUSHI! Mmmmm five stars
(5)Bri H.
This place is fantastic. It impressed me so much I created an account just to rate it! My boyfriend and I went there around 4 pm so it wasn't very busy, there were only two other tables occupied, but it got busier as we left close to 6. I really liked that I didn't feel rushed to finish my food and leave. The waitstaff was actually very nice. Our server was attentive and helpful. She kept our drinks filled and joked around with us. I ordered the Dinner B combination and the boyfriend got the Dinner D. There was A LOT of food. Not only are they large trays filled with food, but it comes with soup and salad as well. I got the chicken soup and he got the miso. I tried his miso and it was Wonderful. I used to think I hated miso soup, not true, I just apparently hate bad miso. Both soups were great and the salad was flavorful and crisp. The sushi was very fresh and the shumai was very very good. To sum it up: I have not one bad thing to say about this place. Truly fantastic. Do yourself a favor and try it.
(5)Florence S.
I would stay with the sushi, they are very good. The place need to be updated. There was a bug flying around when we were there. I ordered the udon noodle soup, I was very disappointed. .
(2)Lim K.
We had Kalbi and spicy pork for lunch. They were very yummy. There were only four side dishes, including kimchi, but they were all good. Good food, good price, and good service.
(4)Lone R.
Small and quaint.. Very clean, reasonably priced. Service was good .. Chef is an absolute pro. Every roll you would expect on the menu plus a few originals. Five stars easy!
(5)Tiffany S.
Stopped here on my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised! Their food is really good and inexpensive. The volcano roll and gyoza is my go-to order but the pad Thai is also pretty good!
(4)Michele P.
Just delicious!! We came during the week, so it wasn't that busy but service was great. Sushi was delicious, well presented and feel this was an overall great experience.
(5)Chris W.
I have sushi in every city I travel to. This is one of the best I have had. Friendly service. Great food. Expertly crafted, and the sashimi was of the highest quality. (Which should be everyone's benchmark for judging quality in my humble opinion). Absolutely great.
(5)Cameron C.
The food and price here is very good. The service has also been fine. They do have a variety of Asian style dishes including Sushi and Thai as well as some others. The atmosphere is probably the only thing negative. It is a bit small and feels like a strip mall style eatery but it is clean and well furnished. Places like Kumo may have more flair but Mr Mees is a better value for the dollar.
(5)Doyle H.
Some of the best and freshest sushi I've ever had. According to their sushi chef, it's brought in daily. On occasion, I hear him making phone calls to add to the next days order. Their lunches and dinner entrées are the real deal. There is nothing "Chinese". It's either authentic Korean, Thai, or Japanese. I've been a regular since discovering this hidden gem years ago. Every time my family is in town, its the first place they want to go to!
(5)Trent D.
Great place for lunch, try the Pork Bulgagi! They have a menu full of delicious offerings, but I keep gravitating back to the Pork Bulgagi. The sushi menu is comprehensive and the ingredients are very fresh. This is a great place to bring a group of sushi-lovers, as the portions as big and the menu has something for everyone. Your non-sushi partygoers can go with Korean BBQ or a number of other menu items. They won't disappoint.
(4)Angela S.
If you want somewhere quick but so so on taste, this is your place. Presentation was good. They don't skimp on the amount of fish on top of or in the roll. I got a rainbow roll and it had a beautiful amount of fish on top. The overall taste of the fish was bland though, I didn't experience those mouth watering tastes those types of fish generally have. Not the best place I've been but definitely far from the worst; I would give it another whirl. Rating you up based on sizing and amount of fish per roll, rating you down on overall taste.
(3)Elizabeth H.
We really enjoy the food here, sushi chefs make the experience. Korean short ribs are really tasty. Deducted a star because the decor is very so so. Over all the food makes it worth the visit. We always sit at the sushi bar and chat with Sam and Noah the sushi chefs. I posted a picture of them, sorry Sam I posted you as Bill.
(4)Corey B.
I have loved this place for years and eat there about once a week. Fresh excellent sushi. By far the best in Ft. Myers. Not sure what the person saying their sushi was warm is taking about. I sit at the sushi bar once a week and everything is fresh, cool, and quickly served. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but if you want the best sushi in town this is the place
(5)Leslie L.
It's tough to find good sushi anywhere and to my surprise I found one of the best sushi I've had in awhile and of all places in fort myers. So obviously my husband and I are thrilled. The staff here are very friendly as well. I moved out here a year ago from california, and even in california I couldn't find great sushi. Try the kick up roll, it's awesome!
(5)Libby F.
Best sushi in town!! Try the crazy roll! Also the tuna tataki is expensive but totally worth it. I always add avocado slices to it :)
(5)Joe C.
It is my opinion that Mr. Mee's is the best sushi you will get in Fort Myers. The sushi is always fresh, well made, and large. It is located in a strip mall and isn't very attractive. Establishment is a bit out dated and a bit worn down. That being said, the staff is wonderful. Always nice and friendly, if you go more then a couple times they will remember you. I haven't eaten much other then their sushi. Tried their crab fried rice and it was very good. If your looking for quality sushi with no frills this is the place. Two thumbs up!
(4)Stephen S.
Best sushi in town! The rest of the menu is hit or miss. But if it is sushi you are craving, this is your place. Small, family owned joint. Love supporting local businesses like these.
(5)Jon C.
I would consider myself a pretty avid sushi eater and while on vacation or any other destination, we try to find the best sushi we can. We took a look at the reviews on here and frankly the people on here don't know what good sushi is. My wife ordered two rolls which were labeled with "hot sauce" and when they came out, it was with a spicy mayo. She isn't a fan of mayo in general so that turned us off. What killed us is that there were several rolls which were labeled to have spicy mayo. I ate her rolls anyway and they were nothing to write home about. The spicy salmon roll was rather bland and the interior of this sushi place was anything but fine dining. I had some teenage kids sit down in mesh shorts behind us. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Mr. Mee's has been in business for 12 years in the same strip mall as Sam's Club, across from Page Field. The interior is actually nicer than you'd expect from the location; however, we were getting take-out sushi, so we only got to look the place over while picking up. We had three sushi-hungry folk, so we got the "Sushi for Two" extravaganza of nigiri sushi with a tuna roll and a Cali roll, miso soup and salads for two, then two more Cali rolls (my husband loves 'em), and that totally stuffed the three of us. The miso was good, and chock-full of kombu (which was rather thicker than we were used to) and cubes of soft-texture tofu. Not sure about the tofu, I think I prefer mine a little less custardy, at least in soup. The salad had a tasty dressing; aside from that it was mostly iceberg, but fresh and in small manageable pieces. Now for the sushi: whoah, there was a great variety. There was quite a bit of tuna, and at least four pieces of salmon, some mackerel, some hamachi (yellowtail), two octopus that had been softened up, some squid, two shrimp, at least two smoked eel, and two escolar (AKA "superwhite tuna," this is not tuna at all. It's also known as Waloo or Ono, and it's been banned for sale for human consumption in Japan since 1977. It is completely legal here in the US, and it's one of nature's laxatives -- so none of us ate more than one piece. It is, however, very tasty, and the fat - wax ester - that it contains is like Olestra: your body can't use it because the molecules are the wrong "handedness" for your physiology. Which means it can satisfy a fat craving if you are on a ferocious diet without actually delivering usable fat. Just don't eat too much of it: in no case more than 6 oz!). There were also the aforementioned rolls. Texture on all of the fish was excellent, the octopus pieces were surprisingly tender. The salmon had a light smoke to it, the hamachi had a good texture but less flavor than usual (not sure why -- refrigeration?), the mackerel seemed very fresh and good, the escolar also seemed very fresh and good. All sushi was cut very generously: the fish was large enough that it hung over the rice at both ends, and was cut thick, not the see-through cut some places do. The presentation was excellent given that the food was to go! We'll be visiting again in future, either for takeout or dine-in. Three people fed like kings for about $20/ea including everything. You could definitely go home full for less :-)

I didn't really enjoy the food or my experience here. My entree was not as described on the menu and instead of spicy it was quite bland. The highlight was the warm farewell from the sushi chefs, and I didn't even have sushi.
(2)Carl M.
Cozy little place. Seems to be Korean-owned, which makes the Korean menu (a very rare find in the area) worth trying out. Service is pretty good, but its the grab any waitress from across the room style instead of the more intimate server-per-couple-of-tables that most diners are probably used to. Strangely stingy on the ban-chan (Korean side dishes,) especially considering that those are normally free (and plentiful) in most Korean places. Sushi is top tier for the region (though, that's honestly not extremely high praise.) A great choice for Asian food for the area, friendly staff.
(4)Webb B.
Ate there again last night, as we go usually once every few weeks. Another great experience, truly some of the most fresh, and well prepared sushi in Ft. Myers area. Much more of a family atmosphere that the trendier sushi places. Always a good group of people there and sushi bar conversations are common & very entertaining.
(4)Laura H.
Solid choice for Korean food, I haven't had the sushi here. We used to go to Oragami all the time, before they hiked their prices and downsized their portions. We always order the Be Bimp Bap, Duk Guk (Rice Cake Soup) and Kimchee Jigae (?). The service is nice and will keep bringing side dishes if asked. :)
(4)Matt G.
Without a doubt, the best sushi in the Fort Myers area. I've been to several sushi places in the Naples/Fort Myers area, and so far none have impressed me as much as Mr. Mee's. There are other trendy places in the Naples/FTM area which may look a lot more fancy than Mr. Mee's, but their food doesn't compare. I live nearly 40 miles away, and I'll drive out of my way to go here every so often. Try the "Puppy Chow" roll.
(5)Erica B.
I had lunch here the other day with my coworkers. I had the chicken teriyaki and it was out of this world! My coworkers ordered two types of rolls - and both were excellent. Our waitress took her time explaining the menu and making recommendations. The decorations in the restaurant are nice, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.
(4)Jacob B.
Service was very good. Menu has lots of options, japanese, korean, thai. My mother had a korean snapper dish, which looked very spicy, and was somewhat spicy, but mainly very fresh. I had a Bento box of sushi and sashimi. The sushi was good, but not the best I've had. Atmosphere was pleasent. I would definitely return.
(4)Yoanna J.
Ok i am soooo not impressed. sushi was not fresh staff was in there own world. I dont know what was going on here. If you want not so fresh sushi and not so great service this is your place. the place was dusty and small all around D- Happy eating.
(1)Deborah C.
This is one of Fort Myers' few decent sushi restaurants. Lee County is a hopeless wasteland when it comes to ethnic food, but since sushi is so mainstream now, and since the area gets quite a lot of fresh fish, Sushi is the most logical. Mr. Mee's tries to cover several oriental areas. They do Thai, Korean and Japanese food. I haven't tried all of them, but what I have had there I've enjoyed. (I had my first eel here.) The place is nothing special, but it's got decent atmosphere, in the windows are tables that you sit almost on the floor at and have to take off your shoes.
(3)Heidi D.
This place is a hidden gem in strip-mall. It's the opposite of Blu Sushi- the food is great, but the atmosphere is dull and the sake is just ok. I totally agree with Deborah about Lee County being a wasteland when it comes to ethnic food. But if great sushi is what you're looking for, this is the one place to find it :)
(4)James W.
Sushi is fresh and nicely prepared. Owners are Korean, so I look to that side of the menu. Their Haemool Jigae is wonderful. It's a soup made with Crab, fish, shrimp, squid & mussels and veggies. Unlike most Korean restaurants that automatically serve a variety of small-serving Korean appetizers with Korean orders, you need to ask for them here. I'm talking about kim-chee, roots of some sort, pickled bean sprouts and something else I can't recall. One waitress is exceedingly friendly, the others are a bit shy. They warm up when they i.d. you from previous visits. I love the place. Try it and order what I suggested above....it's cheaper at lunch and I think it's the same portion as the evening's.
(4)Devin M.
I must have eaten at Mr. Mee's after they read the two previous reviewers' comments. I found the restaurant to be quite enjoyable for sushi. I like the window booths that were modified traditional Japanese style tables with hole cut in the floor so you could sit comfortably. The sashimi was fantastic and fresh. My friends eat their sushi all the time (as do I) and claim it's the best in the Fort Myers area. I love going back.
