Imoto Room at Buccan
Imoto (little sister) is Buccan's version of an Izakaya. The Japanese Izakaya's were traditionally down-to-earth gathering places to go get a drink and something to eat after work. Imoto Room is an extension of Buccan's small plate - big flavor concept with Japanese and other Asian influence. The menu offers items ranging from innovative sushi & sashimi to Clay Conley's interpretations of other Asian favorites.

"After loving our dinner at Buccan our first night of vacation, we couldn't resist Imoto. Yet again we were impressed with our meal. Our waiter was extremely helpful in explaining and even showing us some of the dishes on the menu before we ordered. We decided to do a few of the small dishes on the menu to share. It was just my date and I but we wanted to try it all! We started with edamame with the soy glaze. We also got the lobster and shrimp salad in a coconut. Very nice presentation and tasty! We then shared the duck tacos, tuna sliders, and grilled octopus. All had a taste we hadn't had before! Dishes are quite small so we left satisfied from these. Very exotic and fresh flavors are found at Imoto, it is a must in Palm Beach!"

"Some interesting variations on sushi type food. Some too tricky. Regular sushi and sashimi fresh, but very expensive (Palm Beach prices). Cooked food had some good choices , but again pricey. Upscale crowd seemed to be having a good time. Would go back and try some more new things. Short ribs for example, even @ $30. Focus was on sushi for us this evening and no reason to give up on our regular haunt."

"Took my wife here for our anniversary. Very friendly and attentative staff. We were greated with "Happy Anniversary" wishes the moment we walked in. We were asked if we can move one table over within minutes to accommodate a larger group. This was not a problem for us at all and we were treated to an awesome Tuna Sashimi on the house. Very nice of them. Small little place compared to its big brother Buccan but food is as good. If you go have the edamame with the addicting soy glaze, duck tacos, and Tuna Fois Gras sliders. They' have rolls on the menu but i'd recommend getting the small plates instead. We had their Rainbow Roll. It was good but not as awesome as everytging else. I will be going back to Imoto."

"What a great find.
Having been there a few times now, I'm really enjoying not just the authenticity of the Japanese dishes, the sushi and sashimi, but also the innovation into some of the other dishes. The hot dishes are spectacular. And, in all honesty, having eaten regularly in Tokyo, I can say that their sushi and sashimi is subtle, genuine, un-Americanised (sorry - no cream cheese) and high, high quality.
The mood of the restaurant is fun, energetic and stylish. It's small (a wise choice) and the tables have very little privacy, but given the environment and the reason for being there, that's cool.
Great, great food and fun times."

"From service to food, all was perfect. It is very small, so reservations are an absolutely must. But if you find yourself craving first rate sushi at the last minute, give the sushi bar a try. It seems like there are often seats available there."

"Wow! I went to Imotto expecting some good sushi rolls - boy was I wrong! The food was amazing! I had not even heard of half of the things we ordered but took the suggestions of our server. We chose 6-7 items. The dishes were brought out one by one so the table never became over crowded and we could savor each individual item and all of the complex flavors. I waited for a long time to be able to get a reservation but it was definitely worth the wait - my experience was amazing in every way!"

"Food was exceptional in every way. Next time we go there and we will, we'll take our time ordering the small plates. They came out of the kitchen way too fast and we felt a bit rushed. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back for more."
