Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Nice and friendly staff but unfortunately the food was really not good. Salmon nigiri was probably the worst I’ve ever had. Ate one and left the rest. Super thick slices of salmon and little rice, poorly cut salmon. The edamame was just swimming in water....40 dollars for not eating anything, definitely not worth it.More

Nothing really stood out to me menu wise. Although there were a lot of options, I really wasn’t that impressed with the flavor. I will say, our servers were wonderful. Very friendly and open to suggestions about the surrounding area and travel tips.

I’m not a big fan of the atmosphere. A little too bright in there. But that being said the sushi was the best I’ve had on ST Thomas! Large portions, and very fresh. The iguana sauce on the table is to die for. I’ll be...back. Watch out for a visit on my YouTube channel Captainbirch.More

I get the joke, but they should consider a new name. I went there with a party of 6 on a slower night. The service was prompt until check time. Happens a lot on the island. The rolls are truly enormous, something approaching 3x the...size of a roll we're used to. Too big for a polite bite, but boy are they good! I ordered a 15 piece sashimi, 5 types of fish, which was excellent and I got more than the advertised amount! Good, very fresh, top quality fish. The rolls were assembled well as was the nigiri. The pork dumpling app was good too. Everyone was happy with their food and they had a ton to take home, which we wound up feeding to the kitties at our resort. I ate all mine. Top notch. Highly recommended.More

Whenever, I cruise to St Thomas, I arrange my schedule to eat lunch at Beni Iguana. If the ship has to dock someplace besides Havensight, I am not happy. The mussels are the best ever. And, oh, the sauce!! This last trip I just ate...two orders. Carlo and Billy have been here for years and they are excellent servers.More

Come here every year and once again did not disappoint. Sat outside which in my opinion is the best place to be at this establishment. Had great Sushi, better than what we get at home and oh the Iggi sauce is fantastic!

I’ve been coming to Beni Iguana’s for years, and they are my personal favorite sushi spot!!!! Compared to all other sushi places on St. Thomas there rolls are very large and you get your money’s worth. They are also home to my favorite sushi sauce...ever the “Benni Iguana sauce. “ Service is great also and rolls are delicious. They have the most unique mussels I’ve ever tasted. You won’t be disappointed!!!!More

It took us forever to get our food and check. While we were waiting we were brought seaweed salad and soup that we did not order so we thought it was because our food was taking so long, yet we were still charged for it....It took sooo long to get our check we were considering not tipping but tip is already included in the price. Would not recommend. Food was a good portion size and decent however.More
