The 46 best omakase experiences in Orlando

This was one of the best Omakase dining experiences. If you’re looking for amazing food, great ambiance, and top-tier service, Kadence is the place to be! Giselle is absolutely amazing and makes the experience even more worth it. Definitely, will be returning.

I've been wanting to go to Kadence since I heard about it two years ago and finally got a chance to go when I was in town. Food was great and desserts were awesome too! Mark and Jen made the experience fun and enjoyable. We'll be joining them again very soon for their couples sushi class!

Well, it has taken me way too long to finally make it but I was extra proactive on this trip to my hometown and booked a spot early. What an experience! I can't recommend it enough. I think we had courses coming for something like 3.5 hours. I've done tasting menus before but this was on a whole other level. Mark and Jen were spectacular hosts and Mark had us dying laughing between moments of food induced ecstasy and educational question answering. If you have the chance to make it, I'd say it lives up to the hype for sure.

An outstanding dining experience. Kadence lived up to the hype. It has a kind of speak-easy feel. 3 distinct eating areas. There’s no signage to Kadence. Just a black building with doors. I tried the first door…and entered their sake bar…which was small, pleasant and I understood does sake and sushi. We were welcomed by a server who walked us to the Kadence Bar, a separate entrance and a whole different experience. There’s also the omakase restaurant with a 15 course menu. Their Bar is an al a carte menu. Exceptional! A small room seating about 15 guest. My wife is vegetarian and they were accommodating with a vegetarian sushi offering. I had their chirassi bowl which was outstanding…a rice bowl with sashimi and Japanese veggies. To finish off, I had their matcha tiramisu …yummy with just the perfect sweetness. We will certainly be back.

This is the first and only omakase I’ve been to, and my second Michelin-starred restaurant. First - absolutely worth the star, and IMO, worth two. Mark and Jen were an absolute masterclass in hosting and entertainment. The sushi was leagues higher than anything I’ve had elsewhere, and the tasting courses were invariably delicious. The price is outrageous and there’s no way around that. But if you have the money to spare, especially for a special occasion, I highly recommend Kadence.

Simply, the best Sushi experience of our lives. Mark and his wife offer the best restaurant atmosphere and food possible

This restaurant did not disappoint. It is a memorable dining experience with the best fish selections, sushi preparation and team. I have been to this kind of restaurant in NYC and Boston, but Kadence far surpassed my previous “big city” omakassi experiences. We are so lucky to have this kind of sushi in Central Florida and they deserve all of the great awards that they have!

Everything about this place was amazing. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was out of this world and beautiful. I definitely see where they get their Michelin star rating and it is well deserved. We did the wine pairing and it really elevated the experience. I highly recommend this place!

Absolutely loved Soseki and can't wait to go again! The meal starts off with amazing small bites. I think my favorite of the three was the ninoyaki (creme fraiche and onion jam). It was an explosion of flavor. The nigiri was also so tasty. The wine pairing selected by Colin were on point. Overall, all the chefs as well as Colin made the experience fun and even educational.

I went to the most beautiful tasting of my life here with special guests from the Krug house thank you so much you beauty and precision in flavor translated like poetry. My personal favorite was the tuna cheek thank you for your floral offerings they invoked such a journey of emotions and Krug your pairings were divine harmonies.

Wonderful omakase that elevates Orlando dining to another level. We had an amazing time, the food is so creative, meticulously thought and prepared, Mike and staff are so full of energy and humor. A truly remarkable experience. Recommend the tea service, it was mind-blowing good.

What a fabulous meal! Every bite of every dish was utterly delicious and meticulously prepared. The staff, from chef to greeter, are all professional, relaxed, and welcoming. One of the best omakase meals I've ever had.

Prepare for some of, if not the best sushi you’ve ever had in a cozy yet sleek and contemporary omakase setting. The tasting menu was beautiful and incredibly delicious, with each course presented with perfect detail and exquisite precision. We loved getting to watch the expert technique of each piece of nigiri being crafted, hearing about each ingredient and how it was selected with care, and experiencing such immense creativity and talent. I appreciated being told what utensil should be used for each dish and the intended order in which to try things. It’s clear how much they care about the experience they provide to each guest, from the moment you arrive all the way through to the end. A place like Soseki will make it very hard for you to ever want sushi anywhere else!

This was a truly memorable and inspiring experience that we will never forget. Everything was expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. The service was top tier on all fronts. I recommend adding the wine/sake pairing package. We can see how everyone’s knowledge and dedication resulted in intricate, mind blowing flavor combinations! It was an honor dining with you and we can’t wait to come back!

So we had reservations so seating was not an issue. The restaurant is very nice looking and the service was very good! I have some difficulties with food allergies, or their difficulties accommodateing my allergies. My options were plane food (never a good option) and if I wanted plane food why would I go out for dinner?? Or plane food made less plane but not with the intended flavors. So I took option .B. and that's what was delivered. There were some things I totally understand are hard to make on the spot, but I have never had this issue in a sushi restaurant. So some of the food was great. And others at the table were enjoying their dinner. But no one was blown away by the experience. The service was great the bar was great... the food was good. I wanted to love this place.. but food wise I just couldn't. It may have been a bad day but at almost $200 for 2 people and a not so super experience I would be hard pressed to run back.

You want to talk about a modern, clean, sleek restaurant with flavors that will punch you in the face then look no further than Kabooki Sushi. That Chicken Karaage is hands down the best I’ve ever had from any restaurant that serves that dish. The Ghost roll and Curry roll are absolutely to die for and you gotta get chocolate C4 lava cake for dessert. Not even 5/5 but a 10/10, this place is delicious. Just be warned that during peak times they are absolutely packed so make a reservation or plan accordingly.

I discovered this restaurant through Resy, and I have to say—it’s worth the hour-long drive! The sushi is incredibly fresh, and as someone who’s more of a meat lover, the wagyu was cooked to absolute perfection. I went with my toddler, and the staff was very accommodating, providing a high chair and making sure we were comfortable. But the real showstopper? The Ube cheesecake. Wow—hands down the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. I’d drive an hour just for that alone! Next time, I might have to ask for the whole cheesecake instead of just a slice.

This place is an absolute gem for a special night out. The ambiance is incredibly chic and has a wonderfully alluring vibe, making it perfect for a romantic date. We were so impressed with the unique sushi creations they offered, going beyond the usual. Beyond the sushi, their broader Asian cuisine selections were equally delightful and thoughtfully prepared. The service truly elevated our entire experience; it was exceptionally attentive and graceful throughout the evening. Every dish we tried was a delicious adventure, showcasing fresh ingredients and creative combinations. It's definitely a spot we'll be returning to for another memorable evening. If you're looking for an elegant and sophisticated dining experience, this is highly recommended.

I went for dinner and it was really. We ordered the double tekka and the akami unagi roll. The Akami was my favorite because the eel was really good. We tried the yellowfin tasting, a bowl with rice and pork belly and mushrooms, and a wagu tasting with the hot stone. Our server was Rylan and he was so amazing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and so funny and charming. Loved this place 10/10.

Kabooki Sushi is hands down the best sushi spot in Orlando, in my opinion. Located on E. Colonial Dr. and Maguire Blvd., this place delivers a full sensory experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is trendy, modern, and undeniably sexy. They recently renovated and added a sleek bar/lounge area off to the side of the main dining room, which adds to the vibe. I highly recommend making a reservation, as they’re always busy, but honestly, I’m just as happy sitting at the bar and watching the chefs work their magic, it’s like dinner and a show. Every dish we’ve ever ordered here has been superb, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. On our last visit, we enjoyed the Zen, Hawaii X.O., Chill, Yucca Fritters, Coconut Udon Truffle, and Money Bags; each one absolutely delightful and bursting with flavor. For dessert, we treated ourselves to the Ube Cheesecake and Carrot Cake, both made in-house and on another level entirely. I would honestly come back just for dessert alone. To pair with it all, we ordered the Bee My Honey cocktail, so delicious, crafted with lavender-infused honey and elderflower liqueur, perfectly balanced and refreshing. We’ve brought friends and family here many times, and every single person has left raving about the food, the ambiance, and the impeccable service. The entire staff, from the host stand to the servers, goes above and beyond to make the experience special. If you’re looking for a place that’s elegant, romantic, and unforgettable, Kabooki Sushi is it. 100% recommend for anyone who loves sushi and stellar service.

We enjoyed the food! We did the magical dinning menu which was nice. our server was real nice in the atmosphere was cool but he advised that we liked wasabi so she recommended we get the freshly graded wasabi, but didn’t advise us that it was eight dollars for a little pile. overall, I would still recommend.

We had an excellent experience with our server, Cynthia! She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Cynthia anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and impressed us by remembering who made special requests at the table without missing a beat. Her professionalism and warm personality truly made our dining experience outstanding. Highly recommend asking for Cynthia if you visit! I pray the lord blesses your future abundantly you are amazing😙

Dragonfly is an amazing date night spot. Great service and an inviting atmosphere with delicious food. Our waitress Kayla C. was very attentive and personable. We came here for our first date and come for every anniversary. Always the best experience. The chicken karaage and blue crab fried rice are our go to starting plates. We tried the bone-in short rib tonight, and were left speechless. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience. Food was spectacular, service was stellar. Shawn was awesome!!!! Came in for dinner but caught Happy Hour. Great selection for happy hour. We also got some other things from the main menu. Ramen was divine, I could have ordered more wantons since they were so good, loved the octopus. Next time we visit, I'm not sharing my Ube flan. It was so creamy and paired beautifully with the whipped cream and toasted coconut.

I had such a great experience tonight! Our server Alex was amazing – super attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without us ever having to ask. You can tell he really cares about the guest experience. The manager, Ashley, also came by to check in, which made the night feel even more personal. It’s not often a manager takes the time to connect with guests, and I really appreciated it. And a special shoutout to Shawn making origami at the table – what a fun and unique touch! It added such a creative and memorable element to the evening. Overall, the combination of great service, thoughtful management, and that little extra bit of creativity made tonight stand out. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to friends!

We came to Dragonfly to celebrate my mom’s birthday after hearing amazing things—and it absolutely lived up to the hype! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. Our server, Brandon, was incredibly attentive and patient, especially with family members who needed a little help navigating the menu. The food was phenomenal—a true 10/10 across the board. We tried a variety of dishes including the crab and garlic miso soup, sticky rice, crispy shrimp, crab fried rice, and fried cheesecake, and every single one was a hit. To top it all off, the manager, Daniela, checked in with us a few times throughout the evening to make sure my mom was enjoying her special day and that we had everything we needed. Highly recommend Dragonfly for a delicious meal and a great experience, whether you’re celebrating or just craving incredible food!

I had such a great experience at Dragonfly Orlando! The food was super tasty, and Magical Dining was the perfect way to try a variety of dishes. I don’t usually like sushi, but I gave it a try here and it was actually delicious. A big shoutout to our waitress, Cynthia! She was attentive, kind, joyful, and really connected with our table. Her service made the night even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend asking for Cynthia if you visit!

The Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi on Sandlake in Orlando is one of the more memorable experiences for Magical Dining. The Dragonfly delivers in every way with the ambiance, presentation of the food, and the service. Our dining experience included a 3-course progression plus dessert, and each phase was dialed in with precision. For our first course, we had the Ginger Salad & the Miso Soup. For our second course, we had the Chicken Karaage (which was surprisingly good) & the Shrimp Skewers. For our third course, we had the Rib-Eye Skewers & the Miso-Yaki Salmon Skewers. Everything was so good, that I asked our server (Brandon H.) if we could order additional items off of the regular menu. So, we had the Chicken Thigh Skewers & the Japanese Sliders. This was just an absolute BONUS to our dining experience. And finally, it was time for dessert. We had the Mochi Donuts & the Tempura Fried Cheesecake which was beautifully plated with vanilla ice cream and a side of fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries). It was the perfect finale. Overall, the service at the Dragonfly was exceptional. Brandon H. was extremely helpful and guided us through the menu with enthusiasm and paced each course with precision. If you're in Orlando (especially near Dr. Phillips), then the Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi is a must.

We came for our first night/dinner at Disney. It was also a bday celebration. I honestly wasn’t expecting much and we got mostly non-sushi items. First of all we got a mocktail and alcoholic beverages and it was really good - def sweet, but it was good. Spare Ribs were so tasty and meaty. Kung Pao Cauliflowers were a hit and it was very lightly battered, which I prefer over thick batters. A-5 Wagyu Burger Bao were perfect in size, comes with 2 and we enjoyed this one. FYI the bao is fried, I think it would be better steamed, but just my opinion. Jyo Sashimi Combo was shared by 2 of us. The fish was so fresh and cut thick, but we really liked this. Spider Roll was exactly what a good spider roll to taste like. We ended the meal with a complimentary birthday ice cream. Such a great meal and way better than I expected. I recommend this restaurant and don’t forget to get the sushi/sashimi!

We had very mild expectations going to a celebrity Iron Chef restaurant in Disney Springs. Alas, the taste of the food and quality far exceeded our expectations! I will be back for more! We came in during the week between Christmas and New Year's, so we didn't know what to expect. It was pretty busy around the shops but for some reason, not as busy in the restaurant. We had a reservation for 1:45pm but we got there early and asked the hostess if we can sit early. They had no problem with sitting us. The ambiance was still very much festive with wreaths and Christmas trees up but the main decoration in the dining room is quite spectacular and draws your eyes right away. We got some drinks and ordered a few small dim sum plates. The drinks took forever and we had already gotten through an order of dumplings and a California sushi roll. Once we finally got our drinks they were really good. The misses got a lychee martini and I got the Japanese Old Fashioned. In order of most flavorful and tasty items I'd have to go with the lettuce wraps first, the spare ribs second and the pork dumplings 3rd. I didn't have any sushi but my wife said it was very fresh and tasted really good. I would highly recommend this place when you're shopping around Disney Springs if you want to sit down and enjoy some Japanese food. I would gladly go back!

My husband and I had the privilege of attending the 10-year anniversary celebration of Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs. We were fortunate enough to meet Chef Morimoto and had the most incredible culinary experience of our lives. From the moment we walked through the door, we were treated like we were a part of the Morimoto family. The staff were incredible, and the food was phenomenal and talking with Chef Morimoto was a dream come true. We left with our autographed book, commemorative sake teacups, VIP lanyards, Passports and the biggest smiles. We returned recently to begin our culinary passport journey to Japan, enjoying the Okinawa Soba and Awamori Sori. What an amazing way to start our travels with Morimoto Asia. The food just melted in your mouth and the drink was everything I had hoped for in enhancing our experience. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with our Morimoto family again and can’t wait to visit next month when we travel to South Korea.

MORIMOTO! Our first time and we had a very special ” Birthday Experience “ . Thank you very much .. our first time having duck-“Peking Duck” after seeing your menu and we were a table of 5 we all chose different appetizer and dinners and decided to do “ Family Style “ so we shared it all and we were very pleased we started with the Berkshire Pork Lettuce Wrap , Crispy Popcorn Shrimp (it was so good we ordered 2) Hot and Sour Soup , and the Pork Egg Roll.. We then proceeded to enjoy the Morimoto Peking Duck , Lobster Singapore Noodles , Morimoto Spare Ribs and 3 Tonkotsu Duck Ramen.. all the while drinking Wildflower sake and wine and yes don’t forget the drink called Mango sticky rice which was to die for .. we had a special experience from the manager Miyuki - She was EXTREMELY PLEASANT!!! EXTREMELY PERSONABLE . We loved her bunches !!❤️ Our Server Manny was on point and never skipped a beat also funny and personable . You made our first time experience one we will NEVER forget and yes we are coming back for the duck amongst other things.

Started with the amazing Bourbon drink, 2 appetizers and two meals that were all to die for. Anastasia was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was fun, and rich without feeling you can't walk off the street. The acknowledgement of our special day just topped it all off. Make a reservation now.

What a great experience! They seemed a little bit busy and discombobulated (we were originally sat at normal seating, whereas our reservation was for the sushi bar), but they fixed this within seconds once we mentioned it. The atmosphere is great, and the food was amazing. The miso soup was some of the best I've had around here, the sushi rolls were all yummy, the oysters were fresh and flavorful, and the wagyu bao sliders were insanely flavorful. Anastasia was our server, and she ensured that we had amazing service. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and we definitely won't forget the experience!

My wife and I have visited every time we've visited orlando and have always enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the service but our last experience left us believing that it would be our last time. We waited for 45 mins for a table and that wasn't an issue as we didn't make a reservation and expected a long wait. When we sat down though we felt like we were just being rushed to get out the door. We make a point of ordering multiple appetizers and entrees as we love the food and thats how we eat when we're on a dining experience. I made a point of letting our server know this but the entire experience was us being hurried through our dinner. The food was amazing as always, tried the lobster noodle with the spicy coconut and it was delicious, would have returned just for the opportunity to have that again, and the buri bop will always be my favorite but the service has lost us as a customer. Really bummed about it as we were planning to return in December in hopes of meeting chef morimoto finally.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The atmosphere was great cozy. The aesthetic was beautiful and everything was so clean. I went for lunch and had the option "Girl lunch" which was a seriously great deal for the price! I had two sushi options. One was the pineapple spicy tuna in the second was the tuna avocado. both of the rolls were very fresh. You tasted all elements of the ingredients and how well they all combined. Our server Felicia was very efficient and super kind. I will certainly be returning to check out the dinner option soon. If you're nearby absolutely give this restaurant a try.

Great sushi spot with low lighting, the house cocktails are great and tasty, the sashimi are generously cut and fresh I tried salmon, tuna and hamachi. The ultimate spicy tuna, tropic thunder and XO roll are my favorite so far. The Japanese old fashion is solid but you have to try the Ube-Bae it's a tasty cocktail with many flavor profiles balanced well and all made in house (like their soy sauce and spicy sauces). Also the hot sake they use junmai so it's extremely delicious and warm. Service is great and you're always taken care of either at the bar or the table.

My husband and I came here for Magical Dining and had a great time! Normally this place would be a little out of our price range but we love Magical dining because it lets us try new things. I had the pork dumplings, the trinity, and matcha creme brûlée for dessert. Everything was excellent! I also ordered the Moment of Clarity which was a really interesting flavor. I would order that again. I also ordered the Rose Colored glasses. This one tasted a little like a candle to me but I could see it being something others would like. My husband had the wagu and the lava cake for dessert. He took advantage of their happy hour and tried one of the high ball drinks which he liked. The host and server were great! I definitely recommend making reservations though. They were packed!

Here's my review of their 2025 Magical Dining menu which, despite the unexpectedly intense spice in two appetizers, totally deserves a 5 star rating. Appetizers: - Handmade dumplings: choice of ginger-scallion pork or Szechuan beef. I opted for the beef, not realizing that Szechuan-style is a type of Chinese cuisine known for its very spicy, numbing flavors. Tip for the staff: give patrons a heads-up about the spiciness level. I had to stop after just two dumplings, it was overwhelming. Luckily, a manager stopped by to check in and I mentioned it. He kindly offered to swap them for the pork version, which wasn't spicy and turned out to be absolutely delicious. Lucky me! It was some of the best dumplings I've ever had. - I ate half of my friend's Korean Romaine Salad, which came with crisp red romaine lettuce, sweet Asian pear, and zesty gochugaru vinaigrette, all topped with a sprinkle of green onion and pickled jalapeno. We agreed that it was overwhelmingly spicy for such a small salad. And I don't think there were any Asian pears in there. Maybe there were very tiny pieces and my friend secretly ate them all. Entree: - Wagyu Top Sirloin: 6oz pepper crust, Japanese eggplant, shari risotto, and beef jus teriyaki. Worth the $40 on its own. Seriously. Every bite transported me to a paradise of decadent flavors. The Wagyu was incredibly tender and perfectly executed -- highy recommend ordering it medium rare. I also learned that shari is the vinegared rice typically used in sushi. This was my first time having risotto made with it, and I'm now officially an advocate. The slightly tangy flavor cuts through the cream and/or cheese usually found in risotto. Brilliant! Dessert: - Matcha creme brulee with jasmine tea cream and strawberry. If you read some of my dessert reviews you know very well that I'm the dessert chef's worst nightmare: virtually everything is just too sweet for my palate. Seito nailed in this one: I not only love matcha but it is a dessert on the not-so-sweet side of the spectrum. The textures were also balanced, crisp on top of velvet. The perfect ending for a night of Asian decadency.

Had dinner at Seito Sushi with a friend and it was just what we needed. We grabbed a spot on the patio which perfect for a cooler Florida evening so we ended up staying longer than planned just chatting and enjoying the atmosphere. The sushi was amazing , and the staff made us feel really welcome. A lovely mix of great food, good company, and a relaxing vibe. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been to Seito already twice in the last two months and overall I love it. I recommend starting off with the Osaka Sprouts, it’s like Okonomiyaki but made with Brussels sprouts! Additionally the Szechuan beef dumplings are amazing. The chili oil served with them is rich and spicy and perfect. Got sushi, my friends and I ordered 2 orders of Samurai, Alaskan Crunch and Rainbow. Every piece of sushi melts in your mouth in an explosion of taste sensations. Each bite truly feels like a masterpiece of flavor and texture. I can’t recommend Seito enough but it is an expensive restaurant. One thing I will note, try to make a reservation so you can be inside. People rev their engines and dogs bark at each other incessantly if you sit outside.

This is my first visit back to Seito sushi in over 5 years. It was a good standard sushi spot with excellent service. Their menu was the typical offering of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. I recently had dinner in the Baldwin Park location and wow, they really kicked it up a notch! The making (rolls) were unique and prepared spectacularly. And, OMG, two types of Uni (from Japan and California). Anyone who knows me knows that Uni is my absolute favorite.

This is the only restaurant with authentic Japanese food in Florida that I have ever tried. I did not try sushi or sashimi because they didn’t have any that day but we had curry rice and side dishes that tasted like what you would find in Japan. It was so nice to eat Japanese food like mozuku and chawanmushi that is not at all catering to American tastes. They even have natto on the menu. I will definitely be back. The prices are reasonable. The staff were really nice.

Traditional Japanese restaurant that has lots of variety. I like that they stick to the classics and don't venture into fusion. The cooked dishes are done particularly well, but some of the sushi didn't taste fresh. My favorites were the nabeyaki udon, chawanmushi, tamago nigiri, eel nigiri, and tuna nigiri. Prices were reasonable. Service was friendly. The only odd thing is that they prefer calling ahead to make reservations even if the restaurant isn't full. Edit: Sukiyaki is also great!

If you want to experience authentic Japanese cuisine, I highly recommend this place. I am Japanese and the taste is one of the few authentic food I’ve had in Florida. I also think it is quite cheap for the quality. My husband and I had noodles and donburi for less than $15 each. This is comparable to many dinner prices at chain places. The taste is homemade. This place is a hidden gem and I highly recommend!

I love the atmosphere walking into the restaurant. This place really reminds me of Japan and their Oolong Tea really hit the spot for me since it’s so good and refreshing. Their toro and salmon nigiri is so fresh and delicious. The tamago tasted a bit old and plain. Their sushi roll shrimp tempura is super crunchy and spicy tuna is fresh. The gyoza tasted good (4/5). The niku udon broth had a great umami flavor and the udon has a great consistency (wasn’t too hard). Tempura soba is delicious and the broth warm the soul. I would recommend tempura udon, but the soba still tastes very refreshing with the hot broth. The soba noodles tasted really good. Although, soba noodles is easy to make, but the cold soup blend so well with the refreshing soba. The tempura is perfect battered, once you dip it into the cold broth, it’s so perfect. The closest I can get to Japan. IG: BEEFYFOODIE

MAKE SURE YOU CALL AHEAD FOR RESERVATIONS. THEY WILL NOT TAKE WALK INS. This restaurant might offer the best traditional sushi experience in Orlando. A small restaurant, but comfy warm vibe amidst the hectic idrive location, plan ahead for parking! Staff is friendly and offer recommendations for sushi and wagyu dishes. No Omakase, but they offer combos that includes their daily best fish selections. Imported wagyu is well cooked as well, but my personal favorite has to be the una don, perfectly grilled eel on a bed of rice. Definitely worth the visit despite the hectic location. Looking forward to visiting again with a larger group!

The atmosphere and the service is good, but the pricing and the food quality is high and not very fresh. (If you just order some basic rice, it is fine) When I ordered the Uni Don the market price is 47, so i thought is would be a don covered with at least 4-5 pieces even for the highest level. You can see the picture for how little it is. Only one piece. Then for the flavor, the uni is not sweet, and it has those “fishy” taste even though the texture is fine. If you don’t order this don since it is pricey for $47 dollars, if you try udon, it is plain only salty. For the 寿喜锅the Japanese hotpot, it is very sweet. We added two cups of water but didn’t help. If you order the Japanese fried chicken, it is as small as you can see. Overall, we had expectations for the restaurant, and it turned out pricey and not fresh. I think I have a stomachache after the uni. I understand the market price is not determined by me, but the taste doesn’t meet its high level either.

Although not all the seats in this tiny place were full, they only take reservations. It certainly excludes a taste of Japan with the waitresses wearing the traditional attire and the decor in a therapeutic green. The sushi was fantastic and fresh and the special mushroom soup tasted gold, albeit everything is very expensive. The little appetizers were truly tiny, but they they so detailed and authentic it was hard not to appreciate them. The egg yolk mixed wonderfully and the crunchy crab legs were a delight.

We had to wait almost an hour to get a table since the place is pretty small, but it was worth the experience. The ramen didn’t completely win me over... it wasn’t bad, just not my favorite. However, the wings were on a whole different level... seriously amazing!!!! The staff was super friendly and attentive throughout. Overall, a great spot with good food and a nice vibe, just be ready to wait a bit if it’s busy.

No much else to say other than "wow". I came on my birthday craving ramen. Ended up ordering the wings as well and was blown away. Great vibe, great food. My server, Tyler, was world class. Very attentive, answering questions, giving recommendations. It was a fantastic birthday dinner. Finished off the meal with some soft serve that has to be some of the best I've tried. Can't wait to come back!

They weren’t lying when they said best wings in Orlando. The east end market area is so nice. Going in the atmosphere is great they have table games to play while you wait. Service is amazing, food even better. I got the Tokyo and the richy rich they were very well made. Definitely a repeat spot since the food isn’t too pricy and food is consistently good. Very packed and famous as it deserves to be.

What a place! Hits almost all the spots you want from a ramen joint. The wait was long but oh boy it was worth it. The chicken, super crispy and the broth so rich! We got the Richie Rich and Tokyo Ramen. Great options. Just a shame that we can't see chef Nguyen on the works. But a good spot nevertheless. The chashu was a tad bit small but the ramen overall was on point.

After spending a few weeks in Japan, I can confidently say this definitely deserves the hype and it’s just as delicious. The black garlic tonkotsu ramen is my favorite, you can really taste the layers of flavor in the broth, and the pork is melt in your mouth. We got bar seats and got to watch the kitchen staff do their thing and it was impressive to watch. We got the Cookie Monster ice cream to finish and the Cookie Crisp on top was super fun!

I love everything about this place and you'll see everyone else does too by the wait time when you get there. Chill vibes and food is amazing!! Chicken wings and the krabby patty are delicious and i usually get get them as my appetizer. then I get the Richie rich ramen bowl to cap it off. Can't forget about the adult beverage either :D

Great food and cocktails!! Today we arrived at the tail end of brunch service and waited about 45 min to be seated. While we waited we took advantage of their cocktail bar with a Lychee Martini and Life Finds a Way cocktails-yumm. Lunch was started off with the chicken wings 🤌🏻🤌🏻. Each of us had ramen and I tried the Waygu Sichuan Mazemen for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it!! If you plan to try this gem out, come early or be prepared to wait (East End Market has great shops to check out!). Enjoy!

Great food, attentive service. We got the Pot stickers, Wonton soup and fried Egg roll as appetizer, yeah we had an appetite 😊. And as main dish we ordered Chicken Phad Kee Mao and Ginger beef, very refreshing and authentic flavor. Crisp vegetables and fresh herbs. As last, however not the least, I had the Coconut delight, best of both worlds, ice cream and banana wrapped in pastry skin. Decor was interesting, it's like you landed in a totally different vibe. As I mentioned before, service real simple, basic ethics how it supposed to be. Food came out quite rapidly, despite having several big tables at the moment we were presented a table. Last, but not least, music choice wasn't what we expected, rather listen to some Thai music, instead than some piano music. Worth the visit, and we will be back.

The atmosphere is very unique. Anyone who can appreciate a little taste of what cultural immersion would be would also love this place visually. The food was pretty good, portion sizes were more than enough for every dish we had. Everything was flavorful in such a way you will not be able to stop eating after the first bite. Definitely would Recommend any of their noodle dishes as a first-timer. This is a wonderful way to introduce someone into certain flavors and styles of Thai cuisine. Wonderful and beautiful restaurant. Will definitely come back.

This place is absolutely the best beautiful decor, cool environment, amazing food, and amazing staff. It was slow but could get busy came in with no reservation for two and was sat quickly. 10/10 place to eat crazy how they are not as busy as I would expect.

Visiting Florida and was looking at reviews for good Thai food in the area! This place exceeded our expectations and we are big foodies. We started off with a bowl of pad ka gai and it was the best soup I’ve ever had. Not kidding. Then we got a curry dish and Pad sew ew and both were phenomenal. I would highly recommend this place!!!

The decor inside of this restaurant is very nice, it felt like you are in Thailand :) so the atmosphere is unique in its own ways! Every workers there are actual Thai people, they are very friendly and provide warm hospitality. For the food, we had the appetizer sampler, the chicken skewers were tasty, and spring roll was decent and crab Rangoon was small like a tiny wonton. Also we had the papaya salad which was pretty good, as it tasted authentic. The Tiger Tear Beef was decent, I ordered med rare and it was cooked to medium rare. The cut of steak tastes like skirt steak, the sauce that came with it was the star. It has a kick to the spice to it. If I had to order it again I would probably ordered the steak cooked medium. Also we had the chicken massaman curry supreme and house special fried rice. Also had the tofu with cashews nut special dish. Everything was cooked pretty well. Wish they had some traditional authentic Thai dishes. But all over it was a nice dinner while on vacation.

While the inside is decorated uniquely, the food was unfortunately disappointing. The Pad Thai was too oily, pineapple fried rice was somewhat bland, and the vegetables and meat in the Massaman Curry had no seasoning. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable. We probably won't be back.

Nice servers, different atmosphere. The ingredients were fresh. The deco was all for sale, which made for an interesting atmosphere. The stuff has been on display for a very long time. Somewhat dusty. But kind of unique. We enjoyed their Pad Thai glass noodles. Soups were so fresh. Nice experience overall.

Jimmy was an excellent and hilarious server to my family and I. He provided excellent menu knowledge and was very attentive. I would love to return and be served by Jimmy again. The food was exceptional and Chef Edme was amazing. I did the magical dining and it was delicious. 10/10 experience

The food was absolutely delicious! It was my first time going here for food and the waitress was so kind and generous! The customer service was unmatched and the experience was great. I opted for a booth as I was a solo person dining and they still brought it out with someone cooking it for me! It was a great experience and the food was delicious. I would come back here again in a heartbeat!

An incredible experience, the food was amazing and super tasty! The little things like the salad dressing was spectacular as well as the egg fried rice! The Kobé trio was a great choice. The waiter Ryan did an excellent job keeping us topped up on drinks as well as starting the experience with hot towels. Chef Kenji was unreal, very funny and an unfathomable talent for entertainment as well as making a supreme meal! A truly unique and unmissable experience! Thank you so much!!!

Had a great evening with my daughter. For starters, we had some sushi rolls, which were good. The downside was we wanted to have it before the hibachi, and it actually came out way after. The hibachi chef was not only skilled but also very entertaining, with great knife work, fun tricks, and lots of laughter around the grill The food itself was delicious and cooked perfectly right in front of us. The steak was tender, the salmon and shrimp were fresh, and the fried rice was packed with flavor. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. It was a lively, fun atmosphere that made for a really memorable evening. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dinner with a bit of a show. We'll definitely be back!

Celebrating a birthday with chef Toshi and omg he made our experience so much better!!! The staff was amazing thanks to Lori as well. They were such a great duo and both had us laughing allllllllll night ! Thank you

Jimmy (one of our waiters), was so friendly and took such good care of us tonight. Hope we get him next time too! And, Steven was an amazing chef…so fun and entertaining! Such a great night!

amazing experience !! it was a first visit for most of us. had a party of 9 and were served by Hoy, who was delightful. Our chef was Yamato and he was so fun and professional. loved every minute. would recommend 100% for a special occasion or just a special meal

Food was flavorful and served hot with smiling faces. You can truly tell they’re happy where they work and with proper training. Julio was amazing and explained everything to us! We can’t wait to return and try something new each visit! OUTSTANDING 👏🏼

I had the best experience here! Food comes out as it is made so it is guaranteed to be fresh, even though it’s a chain, the food tastes so authentic. Service was impeccable, I wish I remembered her name because I would recommend her! There isn’t a single thing that I didn’t enjoy!

i totally forgot to take a pic of the before bc we simply couldn’t wait to eat! the food is delicious every time and we always try something new without disappointment. The Canai Roti is always an absolute must! Today our server Delani (I think I got her name wrong 😭) was absolutely amazing and was super kind! Definitely recommend visiting.

I was a little iffy about this place at first because it looked a bit too fast-paced. But after so many people recommended it, we finally decided to give it a try — and I’m so glad we did! The food was amazing. Our bartender, Terrance, was fantastic — he recommended several dishes off the menu, and every single one was spot-on. We ordered the crispy wontons, roti, and Po Po Lo Curry, and we’d come back just for those three again. The place was busy, but we were seated quickly, and the kitchen was impressively fast. Since it’s a small-plates-style restaurant, everything came out fresh and hot as soon as it was ready. Even though Terrance was juggling a full section and tons of drink orders, he stayed on top of everything and was super friendly the whole time. I’d absolutely recommend this place — and definitely recommend sitting with Terrance if you can!

Had lunch on a Saturday and have to say I loved the food. I like the fact that the menu has a lot of variety. Customer service was awesome. Korean chicken wings, the wontons and the ribs were my favorites 👏. Parking lot is small and I had to wait like 20 mins to get my table, it’s always busy

Sat at bar (nice). Drinks were good. Food was great. Bartender was great until she disappeared right before our food came. Annoying because we needed something. Enjoyed the dumplings so much that later in the day we tried to call in an order to go. They refused to do them to go. Annoying again. Oh well.

I have done my fair share of dining out, but I have never been served moldy and rotten food!! Hawkers have done it for me! I have been here three times. First time, the food was normal; it didn’t live up to the hype. I decided to give it a second chance. Second time, it got worst. Food was over salted. Silly me decided to give it a third chance. And, vola. Hakwers served its customers moldy broccoli! See picture attached. That was completely unacceptable. They failed at the most fundamental level. Their entire existence is to serve decent food, and they utterly failed at that fundamental level. They served their customers moldy and rotten food. Needless to say, I will never go back.

Nice place! Really enjoyed the food. We tried different types of sushi and dishes—each had its own unique and interesting flavor. The waitress did a great job explaining what was special about each dish, which made the experience even better. Had a great time and would definitely like to visit again!

Not your average sushi. First, be sure to make a reservation for this restaurant. It gets really packed, and tables may not be available for walk-ins. We've been to this restaurant before and decided to celebrate Father's Day at this location. The food was wonderful. A family member who does not necessarily like sushi enjoyed her sushi roll. On another note, we were so intrigued that we ordered two of the same rolls. Also, we had a family member who couldn't decide on what she wanted, so she told the server, and the server made a special dish for her. This is why I would rate this restaurant with amazing service. The server wanted to serve us at the highest level, even if that meant offering something that wasn't on the menu at that time. The atmosphere was very unique. I actually felt like I was in a tourist district in Las Vegas. Great restaurant design!

Went for a long awaited date night on a busy Saturday evening. Placed a reservation earlier in the week but was sat in the bar section, which is not as intimate as dining room. I feel that management didn’t have a specific table reserved and was flying by the seat of their pants. Tried a bunch of dishes on happy hour. Baos were great, full of flavor. Coco roll was fun if you like toasted coconut. Triple tail was fresh. Volcano roll was lackluster. Buffalo rock shrimp was inventive but not memorable. Ordered the eight ball (octopus) and it was phenomenal! Finished the evening with a bread pudding and a lava cake. Bread pudding was exceptional (allow 15-20 minutes as it’s baked fresh). Server was friendly but service was inconsistent (drinks came after food, long wait times for certain dishes). Overall we enjoyed. We will return for octopus and bread pudding.

They have super tasty and crispy Korean fried chicken wings. The sushi rolls are very good and they will make any type of roll you want even if it’s not on the menu. The mango tango dessert was so good. I will be coming back. :)

Great staff, our server was nice and informative. Her recommendations were great! Food was fresh and prepared well! Drinks were just as good. Highly recommend stopping in here if you are craving sushi or a delicious drink.

This place is magical. Is in a very tiny town called Oviedo FL. In a regular strip shopping center nothing fancy at all. Where I used to live, and after 10 years I came back and I said, let me see if they still open and they are and better than ever. When you step in, you are in one of the best sushi restaurants u have ever been and I have being in many places. You judge Sushi places by their most simple fish, Tuna. They have such a great tuna always. Then I got a Ceviche roll, explosion of flavors. What a treat. Then closed with a Coconut Pudding (tembleque) ok this flavors are out for a trip just please if u like Pineapple and also coconut U have to try.

I revisited after so many years. This place really is still fantastic. The food was impeccable, the service was spot on and friendly. My server was just super nice and helpful.

Lots of choices! Service was quick and friendly. We visited on a Wednesday night and were worried when they appeared so full. However, we were quickly seated and once we finally decided what to order our food came out quickly.

Ken took care of us; truly friendly caring service. The ambiance is calm with appropriate background music. Nice ambiance. The Lunch Specials are the real thing; delicious and plenty. Good House Sake at a great price. We will come back for Happy Hour. Good parking as well. Thanks Ken!

Pretty good sushi and lunch specials. I stopped in on my way out of town. Very nice atmosphere and attentive staff. would definitely go back.

Best sushi in all of Orlando! The food is amazing, the customer service is excellent, and the place is full of good vibes. Be sure to try the Angel Rolls — they’re absolutely delicious. This is definitely my favorite spot!

Very fresh sushi rolls. The pork katsu was moist and flavorful. Definitely recommend. Will come again.

Nice atmosphere, fancy vibes but casual. Google Assistant made the rez for a Saturday evening slot but wasn't too busy. Good amount of tempura. Note: tempura usually come straight out of the fryer so give it a few minutes. I burn my mouth every time I eat tempura. Delicious though.

As a local who loves exploring Orlando’s sushi scene, I had high hopes for this place — but this was easily one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in the city. We arrived to a moderately busy restaurant and were told to wait while our table for two was prepared. No problem. A party of three came in after us and gave the host a hard time about the wait. Moments later, we were seated. About 10 minutes into our meal, the host returned and told us we had to give up our table because it was “reserved.” Confused but polite, we got up and asked to sit at the bar instead. We were told that was fine. We sat there — again — for another 10-15 minutes. No water. No greeting. Nothing. Then I noticed the same party of three who had arrived after us — the ones who gave the host attitude — were now sitting at the table we had just been removed from. At that point, I was done. I went back to the host stand and calmly explained that I know that group came in after us. We were literally the only two parties to enter within that 20-minute window. They also had a child with them — hard to miss. After some awkward back-and-forth, a manager offered us another table and explained the host was new. Honestly, that’s not an excuse. You don't lie to seated guests, pull them from their table, and then give it away to someone else. It's not just poor service — it’s disrespectful. We left before ordering. If you care about being treated fairly and professionally when dining out, I’d skip this place. There are too many great spots in Orlando that know how to run a dining room.

Everything was perfect!!! Came in on Friday, August 29, with a couple of friends and had an amazing experience from start to finish! We sat at the bar where we had amazing service from Alex and the other bartender. Everything we ordered, food and drinks, was phenomenal!!! The manager was exceptionally kind and made sure we were enjoying everything. The ribs and the Japanese old fashioned were my favorite items. If I lived in Orlando, I would be a regular here. 10/10 AMAZING!!!

illume is a fantastic rooftop sushi bar and restaurant that delivers both in food and atmosphere. I went with a large group, and the outdoor rooftop patio had spacious tables that accommodated us comfortably. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and prompt, making the evening seamless. The sushi and cocktails were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To top it off, the views of the Disney fireworks made for a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for both groups and anyone looking for a special night out.

Illume was absolutely exquisite. Chef Vinh and the entire team were masterful, and it was a pleasure to watch them work at the sushi bar. My meal was outstanding, and Kristin’s service was next level. I highly recommend Otoro sashimi, as well as the Firebird cocktail (see photos). That meal would have been delicious and memorable if served to me in a shack, but to top everything the view from the rooftop is breathtaking. Enjoying that meal at sundown with great service all around me was THE highlight of my work trip. I highly recommend you go see what I’m talking about. You will not be disappointed!

JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa has an amazing 9th floor “rooftop” lounge, Illume. The only negative is the noise levels. We struggled to have a conversation at our table as a large convention group was quite drunk and quite loud at the bar. They need sound absorbing ceiling tiles. Parking is validated. The Naha Mocktail is so deep with a mix of interesting flavors. Mango, pineapple, orange, jalapeño, and tajin! We got two of the signature Maki Rolls, The Wellness and Crispy Garden Roll. The dish not to miss is the Tofu Katsu Curry. Pro tips: Order it early It takes time to prepare Ask for extra curry and veggies to balance out the slab of crunchy tofu awesomeness ! Everything is incredible and our server Taylor was super helpful, on top of everything and so nice. **** parking at rhe resort is complimentary if you are dining at the restaurants Grab a validateon slip when you pay your bill JW Marriott Marriott Bonvoy #veganfood #Vegan #veganfortheanimals #orlandofoodie #orlandovegans #vegetarian #veganfood #Vegan #veganfortheanimals #orlandofoodie #orlandovegans #vegetarian #veganfood #Vegan #veganfortheanimals #orlandofoodie #orlandovegans #vegetarian #waltdisneyworld #waltdisneyworldresort

Luis was such a great host, he made my anniversary date night feel very special. The atmosphere was amazing with a beautiful sunset outside and Disney fireworks to wrap up dessert. Food was amazing, and the atmosphere & service was perfect!

Beautiful sweeping views and an edgy fun atmosphere and Japanese theme menu set illume up well to deliver. Having lived in Tokyo for several years and experienced some of the best quality prepared fish, I am always on the lookout for top-notch sushi restaurants. illume really exceeded my expectations across the board. I had a cup of Miso, some gyoza, a few pieces of nigiri and the Chef’s Sashimi sampler. Each cut was delicious and the portion was generous. I will definitely come back when visiting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such an amazing evening at Illume in Orlando! The rooftop views were absolutely breathtaking — we could even see the fireworks from above, which made the night feel so special. Our waitress May was incredible — warm, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Miguel, the manager, also went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and started our night off on the right foot, which we really appreciated. And the food — wow. The quality of the sushi was unreal, truly some of the best we’ve ever had, and every single dish we ordered was phenomenal. Between the view, the service, and the food, Illume is easily one of Orlando’s best dining experiences. Highly recommend for a special night out!

I visited this place for the first time in the evening. The food was tasty and well prepared, but it did take a bit longer than I expected to arrive. The drinks were good and refreshing, which was a plus. However, the service left something to be desired. It seemed like the waiter might have been having a rough day they were a bit distracted and not as attentive as I would have hoped. Overall, the experience was decent, and I enjoyed the food, but I think with improved service, this place could be much better. I’d consider coming back to see if things have improved.

Nice place for Asian street food. I enjoyed the small portions and the wide variety of dishes. They could put less sauce in the Peking duck and bun to make it less wet. Reasonably priced. Service is decent.

Southeast Asian cuisine in a lively dining room on Orlando’s East Colonial Drive. We’ve been twice recently and just love this place. It’s always packed but easy to get seated. The dining room is lively and staff is constantly keeping a watchful eye. The Summer Rolls are a great starter. If you like cold noodles, you can’t go wrong with the Sesame Chilled Noodles. The Lettuce Wraps are a great vegetarian option, both light and packed with flavor. Last but definitely not least, the Wonton with Hot Sauce. Don’t pass this one up, I still dream about it!

Electric, energetic, exuberant! Outstanding selection of tapas. Food is ordered and brought to table quickly. So tasty - GOOD. Service is exemplary. The atmosphere is big city chic. If you love to people watch, both outside and inside than this is a must place to dine. a Very diverse crowd in age, sex, sexuality, and ethnicity. This is a MUST place on list for oneself and if bringing family in town. EXCELSIOR!

The food here is wonderful: bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a great selection of small plates. I really like the tapas-style concept, which lets you share and try a bit of everything. We ordered the Roti Canai, a Malaysian flatbread that was golden brown, crisp on the outside, and fluffy inside, served with spicy coconut curry gravy. Recommend by our server and easily one of the best bites of the night. The Asian Bao with pork belly was soft and savory, the Char Kway Teow noodles were flavorful with shrimp and chicken, and the Wontons with Hot Sauce came drizzled with a roasted peanut-chili oil that packed some good heat. Every dish was delicious and was delivered fast. That said, the atmosphere feels more like a mall food court: very loud and lacking ambiance. Prices are reasonable, and the servers are friendly and efficient. They serve beer (though none on draft). I did notice a ceiling patch that hasn’t been painted yet. Overall: Food 5/5, Service 4/5, Ambiance 3/5. Go for the food, it’s worth it.

Me and my girls got to try this restaurant recently and it was so good. We got a variety of soups and noodles. The wait time was very short even though they were very busy. Our hostess was very efficient and they cleaned the tables in between guests quickly to make room for more guests in a timely manner. The presentations were beautiful and we enjoyed our food, for the most part. My girls were more fond of each other's food and would probably order opposites the next time we go back; however, I enjoyed my food. I tried their singapore noodles, which had the right amount of spice and flavor. We tried the spring rolls for the first time (always saw it and finally decided to try it) but we werent a fan of it. We also tried the cream cheese rangoons, which were quite delicious. Ambience was relaxing and the venue, although in a busy part of town, was very nice. Parking is limited near the restaurant because there are other restuarants in the same plaza that also seems pretty good.

Table for two please! We came in on a Monday afternoon for an easygoing celebratory lunch. Everything we ordered was great. Portions were perfect, temperature of each order was a sign of freshness. The staff were very attentive in clearing the empty plates from the table, water refills, and if we needed anything else. Even the price was a welcomed amount for what we got. Definitely a nice spot to try out if you're in the area.

Very good ramen/noodle spot. I LOVE the DragonballZ theme. Figurines, statues, wall art everywhere. The menu isn’t too big or small. The food is very good. It is crave-able, especially the noodles. My biggest complaint is that you can only order from the tablets, and there are only two or three. We got there when it opened and there was a line so it’s a bit frustrating. Otherwise, great experience and would come again.

Absolutely great food, crab rangoons were fantastic. The soup and ramen were also delicious. The atmosphere is amazing for any true fan of Dragon Ball. Finally, the service was kind, quick, and most importantly, SUPA. 10/10. Would return.

This is our second time eating at Soupa Saiyan. Last time was about 5 years ago. Everything was just as good as we remembered! You can build your own ramen bowl from a variety of different ingredients and add ins. Portions are large enough to share. This is a must see for any DBZ fan!

Ramen noodle soup here is absolutely delicious! One of my favorite places in Orlando. The food is always great, portions are big, and the prices are fair — not overpriced at all. I also love the anime theme inside the restaurant, it makes the whole experience really fun.

What a fun and unique ramen experience. The decorations are great and so was the food. Build a bowl lets you customize everything.

Absolutely amazing. Went with my wife and two kids. Service was quick, dude is great with kids, and the food is awesome. My wife got the beef broth, with steak and pork and it was just the chefs kiss. Will go back every time we visit Orlando now.

We were staying nearby and being Dragon Ball fans, decided to check it out. We arrived about 5 minutes before opening time and were surprised to see people already waiting to get in. The theming is perfect for Dragon Ball fans, but the food is the big draw here! We had Kimchi stir fry, Teriyaki rice bowl, and ramen. We can honestly say these dishes surpassed our expectations! Service was quick and the large portions were full of flavor with tender meats. Hands down one of our favorite meals on this trip. We highly recommend and will most certainly be back the next time we are in the Orlando area!

I ordered to go from here because it was near my hotel. The restaurant was clean and had a professional appearance when I entered. I felt under dressed, lol. The staff were friendly and expedient. The food was so good! I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area!

The food is great! I believe you can request the spice level to your preference. We didn’t ask this time, so the tom yum was mild—but still very tasty. Next time, I’ll remember to ask for extra spice! Service was good despite the busy dining hall. The food came out quickly and was delicious. One small suggestion: it would be perfect if they provided regular spoons for eating rice, in addition to the soup spoon. We requested one but didn’t receive it, and it’s a bit inconvenient to eat rice with a fork. Overall, a great place worth visiting!

This restaurant is a great location after a long day, with many juicy and traditional Thai dishes. The menu had plenty of pictures to let you choose your dish, which can be fully customized, as I learned through ordering my Pad Thai with beef instead of shrimp. We were seated immediately, and didn’t have to wait once we were ready because of the odd hour at which we came. The restaurant also had an amazing flavor blend, with the traditional taste, but very soft chewiness for the pad thai I had. The portions were normal, plenty for one person. The restaurant's vibe was pretty cozy, with nicely set up glasses and beautiful table cloths for a fine sit down experience. We had one staff member who explained the system for ordering to us, when we asked, and gave us our food together, ensuring that our food was cooked well. The price per person is between $15-20, which is not bad for Thai food. Coco Thai is an exceptional restaurant for a long day after a road trip, being the perfect little blend of Thai food.

The stuffed shrimp were succulent and delicious, the pad Thai was very traditional and maybe one of the best I’ve had. And the red curry was also delicious. The service was excellent we came for lunch. The restaurant was kind of empty, but I love the open kitchen all in all I will be back.

Tommy was so nice & informative. He suggested good recommendations & set accurate expectations for wait times. The food was delicious. Everything was halal except for the pork and the roasted duck because of the marinade ingredients. The soup, drinks, appetizers, and entrees were all a 10 out of 10. They tasted as good as they looked.

We ordered the drunken noodles with chicken and the tom yum soup with shrimp — both were flavorful and hit the spot. The noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of spice, and the chicken was tender. The tom yum had a bold, aromatic broth packed with fresh herbs and juicy shrimp. I also recommend getting the chili oil on the side — it adds a delicious kick that takes everything up a notch. Overall, a great Thai spot when you’re craving something comforting and tasty.

Great Food, Great Service! Asian food is my favorite so city to city thats what I eat, Awesome it is Halal, and every dish we ordered flavor was just right, not too strong, not too light, fresh and hot! Great experience will be back when in town!

We are never disappointed! The hotel was immaculate, even with a convention taking place. The pool staff were constantly maintaining the pool deck. While we were on vacation, I was still working and loved having so many different areas near the lobby and outside to work and take zoom meetings. The food from the Kitchen and Burger Knife were tasty. We also loved being able to walk over to the Ritz to enjoy their restaurants. Our only negative was that house keeping always arrived very late (after 5pm). Unfortunately, we usually had someone in the showers at that time, so we never actually received house-keeping services for the 4 days we were there. However, the house-keeper quickly traded out towels for us and we were able to give her our trash. Overall, it was a great experience!

The staff is always so welcoming and accommodating! They always go the extra mile and by far they remain the best in town when it comes to what hospitality really means.i especially want to make sure I mention day manager Paola and night manager Rashid. I have a health issue and they are always very willing to make sure my stays have been safe and enjoyable. As a marriot elite member (almost titanium) they are the reason I keep coming back with raving reviews. ❤️ I’d like to also mention Roberto from maintenance and his supervisor (I wish I had his name) who are also the very best at trouble shooting issues. The entire house keeping team are lovely as well. Ebert is a doll. They leave a lasting impression. Kindness goes a long way in my book always!! Having been a marketing director for Chick-fil-a - people will remember how you made them feel! Missing my right lung from lung cancer and I have to steer clear of mold, excessive dust, in addition to the use of ozone machines in rooms. Did not have the greatest experience with manager named Chris with this recent stay - he didn’t really seem to care much but I don’t want that to over shadow the 99% of the rhe staff that are wonderful.

Stayed this past weekend. Any issues that had resolvable solutions, were fixed by Concierge or Customer Service. First and foremost, this is a beautiful hotel with quite a few amenities for the family, including the Lazy River, as well as several dining options. Our room was a little late being ready (about 75 minutes after check in time), but service delivered Macaroons and an apology letter the next day. Regardless, I also know concierge were setting the room up for a special occasion and we appreciated that. Unfortunately the in-room refrigerator kept sounding the "open door" alarm throughout the day and night, even if the door was shut. It was a minor inconvenience that, had it been a bigger issue, I would have called the front desk. We loved the food. We loved the lazy river. We really enjoyed the spaciousness and cleanliness of our suite. We also felt that team members were always ready to help. Lastly, we thank the dining staff for always finding dietary options for our son! It made his whole weekend!

Beautiful Ritz Carlton golf course to play right outside your door and awesome lazy river, water slides, pool, cabanas, two hot tubs (one was not that hot) and lots of chairs! Plenty of restaurants for cultured tastes. I came to visit some family who, let's just say are picky eaters. It was an event to get them to try the food but they were satisfied afterwards. It would have been nice to have had the option to have one of the pool restaurants open until maybe 7 or 8pm instead of closing at 5 so that we could have eaten outside by the pool though. My husband and I definitely enjoyed the food! Excellent bar service, especially liked the lobby bar. Loved being able to stroll right over to the Ritz as well to use their amenities and restaurants and bars as well. Their lobby bar is really hopping at night! We had several issues with the room. We were moved three times. The first time, right after we had started unpacking, settled our dogs in for their crated nap and gone down to the lobby bar. I was two sips into a fantastic Nitro Espresso Martini and the hotel called to tell me there was a maintenance need to get into a wall in that room for something with the pipes. I went upstairs, threw together our stuff, got the dogs and the bell hop moved us to a second room. Once inside it was musty smelling and did not have a balcony as I requested on my original reservation. I need to be able to step outside in the morning and get some fresh air. I called downstairs and they said it would be about 20 minutes and they could move us again. So I had to take our puppies to the lobby bar, not an ideal way to relax and let the bell hop take the luggage once again. My husband took over at that point and worked with Mary from the hotel to get us into another room that was satisfactory. During our stay our puppies did find a hair tie, a paper clip and one other small black plastic, well-chewed object that must have been dropped by previous guests. So that was a little distressing. The other negative about the room was the couch. Good luck curling up with a book to read or sit down to relax and watch the game on tv. It's the most God-awful uncomfortable thing I've ever tried to sit on. Overall, I'd come back because of the service: Mary (I believe she was the bar and restaurant manager), Svet (server at The Kitchen who had a delightful sense of humor), Matt (bartender at the EVR Bar who made me the best Nitro Espresso Martinis), and Sandreas, maybe misspelled-sorry! (very friendly server at The Kitchen with a lovely smile).

We really had such a flawless stay with our three young kids. The family suite was perfect for us. Everything about this hotel from the rooms, staff, housekeeping, pool, and food was impeccable. No notes! Thank you! We will definitely return again for our next Disney vacation.

Beautiful property, friendly staff, and great amenities. The hotel is gorgeous and very grand. With that in mind, we felt very out of place given that we were the only people in the lobby (there were at least 100 people) wearing blue jeans and tee shirts. That is not a problem at all, but people should know that before booking. This hotel is upscale, and honestly we felt as though we should have been wearing formal or semi-formal attire. The restaurants mostly require reservations, and options are limited after dinner time. None of these things are problems, but again, you should know about them in advance.

Cannot say enough good thinks about this property. The staff here were exceptional, from check-in to check-out. Accommodating all of our needs and some with a special birthday gift for our 16-yr old today! Absolutely gorgeous area with a great view, and amenities to match. Thank you guys for an excellent stay, we will be back!

Absolutely excellent Japanese restaurant! we ordered a bowl of Tonkotsu and Shoyu Ramen, with a side of Gyoza and karaage chicken. My wife fell in love with the Karaage chicken here and said we might have to stop by several more times on our trip. The Ramen was authentic and excellent, would highly recommend this place. We have been to many Japanese restaurants over the years, searching for something that reminds us of our trips to Japan and this place nailed it.

Delicious food. My only gripe is the portion sizes are very small for the prices. The salmon sushi platter is delicious. The takoyaki here is some of the best I’ve ever had, would definitely come back just for that!

I am picky about Japanese food, especially sushi and sashimi, and after the second visit, I decided this is the only place I would choose go in Orlando (or maybe the entire state) for Japanese food fix. The fish is fresh, and the rice is done just right. Even Udon noodle is done just right, simple with lots of umami with the real Western (=Kansai) clear-broth style. You probably can get good sushi at Michelin-rated restaurants if you fork out $100+, but for the majority of the humanity, if you really want to taste what Japanese people eat, this is THE place. In Japanese they say 財布の味方; “an ally for your wallet.” The staff is friendly. The cashier told us that the ones who prepare the food are all Japanese, which says something about the authenticity of the food. This place is more like food-court style. You order and pay for the food, find your seat, wait for the food to come out, and throw out your own trash and return the dishes. This is a matter of preference, but for the kaisen don (fish bowl), by default the fish will come dipped in soy sauce and sesame oil. Some might prefer to have nothing on it, and just use the soy sauce and the wasabi that will come on the side. Check with the cashier. The ambience: comfy and clean, nothing extravagant. Update: I see that they added an ordering kiosk. I put on “notes” that we wanted the soy sauce on the side. Update as of July 2025: price on seafood has gone up, but the taste and the quality of the food is the same. Actually, I like the hardness of the rice better than before.

This is not a sit down service restaurant but order at the counter/kiosk and clean it up after yourself shop. I really enjoyed my first visit here especially it being a mom and pop place with simple items on the menu and just so casual. The rice bowls ranges from $15+, noodle bowls $12, and appetizers $6+. I ordered: 1) Kaisen Don $16- rice bowl with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, octopus, squid sashimi. Great portion! The fish were very fresh and the sushi rice was just right. 2) Fried Chicken Karaage $11- quite pricey, fills a small place, tastes good, but I ain’t doing that again for that $$ Overall, it fills you up if you have one bowl and one appetizer, in my opinion. The food came out quickly and take your time there. Definitely recommend if you’re passing by the plaza!

This is the best local Japanese food you’ll find in Orlando. Luckily we found this place from a google search and tried it on a whim. Now this is our go to spot moving forward. It’s run by amazing and friendly people, and the food is outstanding! We’ve missed this kind of Japanese food so for long, having grown up around it in other states. The prices are excellent and the portions are perfect. Many places today either charge too much or give you too little. Sushi Kichi found the perfect sweet spot. We tried the curry and added chicken cutlet, teriyaki karaage, and the croquette. All blew us away! The curry was flavorful and rich, and the chicken is perfectly crisp. Everything was so good, we can’t wait to try the other options on the menu. This place is truly a hidden gem, but it shouldn’t remain hidden. Everyone should know about this place, it’s that good! This is the kind of place to bring your family, grab to go when taking a road trip, or come in for a weekly bite to eat on a lunch or dinner break. The environment is simple, warm, and reminds me of local places we’d eat at in Hawaii or Japan. For first timers - you can order using the digital station for card - and cash you can do at the front area right next to it. A decent amount of tables for families and there’s bar seating available as well incase it fills up. Plenty of parking since it’s next to Publix. I can’t say enough great things about this place. The best way to sum it up is - Eating here feels like coming home.

I'm a local and the food is always excellent here. Its clear they use fresh ingredients and authentic recipes. I always look forward to seeing whats on the daily specials menu. Be prepared to wait a little as the food is always freshly prepared and served artistically. I love Sushi Kichi!

Great friendly authentic Japanese food. The quality of the sushi was very good. I tried the Tako Yaki for the first time and it was good. I didn’t need to get it as the main dish was filling enough. I had #1 Kaison Don- it’s a mix of salmon, yellow tail, octopus and squid. On a bed of rice. Have to note about the service right when I walked in I was greeted, told where the free water was and asked how the food is. Yes you have to clean up after yourself but it’s not anything I don’t do at home. They also have a sit up bar area if you come here by yourself. Recommend coming here

All you can eat Korean BBQ and Sushi, sign me up!! First, let me point out, the food was delicious. The Korean BBQ and Sushi tasted great. Things I didn't like. We received our Korean BBQ items out very quickly, but it was a two limit per customer on the Sushi. The Sushi was great, but it took FOREVER to have the waiter to return to our table each time, so that we could order more Sushi. We found ourselves multiple times, waiting for our waiter to return so we could order more Sushi, and it wasn't busy, which was disappointing. Would I return, yes, although next time I would address the long wait times we had to order Sushi on our previous visit upfront. Food was good though.

The wide selection of dishes was truly appreciated. While the food tasted good, it didn't quite leave a lasting impression. The restaurant's atmosphere felt casual and unpretentious, which was pleasant. The pricing was also very reasonable, offering great value. A bit more visual appeal could further enhance the overall dining experience.

We’ve been wanting to try Izziban Sushi & BBQ for a while, every time we drive by, the lot is packed! We finally went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm, and to our surprise, there was plenty of parking and the lot was well lit. The restaurant sits right on Lake Barton, which makes for a beautiful setting. The hostess greeted us right away and explained the menu options. Our server, Asa, was a delight, he also walked us through the two all-you-can-eat pricing choices (both include sushi and BBQ, but one has more meat selections). The restaurant itself is very spacious, with a large main dining room, a big bar, an atrium-style seating area, and another room that looks perfect for private events. Everything was clean and lively, with K-Pop playing on the big screen. We started with sushi: the Yummi Yummi, Coco Krab, and Spicy Krab rolls. All were excellent, served in four-piece portions, and full of flavor. We also tried the spring rolls and dumplings, fresh and crunchy, the spring rolls were my favorite. From the hibachi grill, we ordered Marinated Sirloin, Beef Brisket, Gochujang Pork Belly, and Garlic Butter Shrimp. They serve generous portions, and while everything was tasty, the sirloin stood out as our favorite. To finish, Asa recommended the fried ice cream—absolutely delicious, don’t skip it! After dinner, we wandered into Snow Bean, the coffee shop attached to the restaurant. It’s small and cozy with limited indoor seating, but head to the back and you’ll find a charming patio boardwalk overlooking Lake Barton. With string lights and hundreds of heart locks on the bridge, it’s a must-see spot on its own. Hibachi style isn’t usually my thing, but I wanted to give it another try here, and I’m glad I did. The sushi alone is worth the visit, and paired with excellent service, this was a great experience all around. Highly recommend 100%!

Great experience with a fantastic view! The price was good and more than fair food AYCE sushi and Korean BBQ. Loved the grill, it never got too sticky or charred like other self cooked experiences. Brian was great, he reminded me of home!

This was our first time here. We came for my birthday while we are in town. The moment we walked in we knew this was going to be great. The atmosphere, the vibe were amazing and the food....oh the food! My husband and I probably are far too much lol but...worth every bite! Next time we are fly in, we will definitely be returning. Our waiter Brian is the GOAT and will serve you well. And the view of the water from our table...just made it perfect.

Amazing concept, great layout and fantastic food!! My Son found this gem for us while we were visiting for his birthday! Staff was super and the table top grill were perfect! Sooo much food!! We will be back and we will tell others!!

The waiter Eli was such an amazing person. Funny, attentive, and an all-around great waiter. He made half of the dining experience. The food was amazing, especially the Las Vegas roll (recommended by Eli) as well as any onigiri! Will visit again!

My daughter and I tried King Bao in Mills for the first time, and we were pleasantly surprised! There was no wait, which was great, and ordering was super easy thanks to their self-serve kiosk with pictures – love that feature for trying something new. We ordered two combos and chose the Hogzilla, Cuban, Glen Rhee, and Coco Loco. Every single bao had its own unique flavor – savory, sweet, and perfectly balanced. The portions were just right and the presentation was spot on. Overall, great food, fast service, and fun vibes. Definitely worth the visit if you’re craving something flavorful and different!

The Baos were all great! I liked the elote, kickin chicken, and the bbq rib. The only issue was the overwhelming smell of frying oil. I am super sensitive to smells and couldn’t wait to leave because of it. Otherwise the flavor combinations were great and the food didn’t take long .

Absolutely loved King Bao! Got the soft shell crab and glen rhee baos- enjoyed the glen rhee more because the meat was so soft and flavorful but you can’t go wrong with either. Two pieces was enough cause I wasn’t too hungry but definitely go for three or more if you are

⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Flavor Explosion at King Bao on Mills! King Bao on Mills never misses! Every time I stop by, I’m blown away by the flavor, freshness, and creativity packed into each bao. The pork belly is melt-in-your-mouth perfection, the firecracker shrimp has the perfect crunch and kick, and the tofu bao is a surprisingly bold option for plant-based lovers. The buns are always soft and pillowy, and the fillings are layered with texture and flavor. Prices are super reasonable, especially for the quality you’re getting. Fast service, cool vibe, and consistently delicious every time. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or showing off Orlando’s food scene to visitors, King Bao is a must-try!

Wow .. the food was great and the customer service was wonderful .! Thanks ladies I ordered a couple of Boa’s 1st one was the Firecracker Shrimp and the other one was the Lobster Roll ..! Both were great ! I’ll definitely be back ..! Walking around on Mills and came in and got another Lobster Boa.. my favorite ..!

My husband and I tried King Bao Mills for the first time. There wasn’t a wait, you order on the kiosk and I love how it has the pictures. The Hogzilla, Cuban, Glen Rhee, Chicken Katsu Curry, Hot Chicken, along with truffle tots and street corn. Yeah… 2-3 bao and some tots are more than enough to get you full. It’s the next day, and I still feel stuffed! The food was good—possibly the best bao in Orlando—but not as mind-blowing as some reviews made it seem. Each bao had a distinct flavor, which I appreciated. My husband really enjoyed the Hogzilla, and my favorite was the Chicken Katsu Curry. Overall, a solid spot for bao lovers. Would I come back? Definitely. Would I say it's life-changing? Not quite, but it's worth the visit!

King Bao is a must-visit for any foodie! I was blown away by their ability to blend traditional bao bun flavors with innovative, gourmet fusion twists. The buns are warm, soft, and bursting with flavor, and the diverse menu ensures there’s something for every palate. As someone who loves exploring new restaurants, it’s rare for a place to earn a spot in my regular rotation—but King Bao has done just that. Highly recommend!

Incredible Japanese food in a lovely place. The sushi was done by Mikako and the service was so friendly! The curry is a MUST HAVE and I only had half of my meal and I was already full. The menu and the website is all in Japanese so you know it's legit. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants great Japanese food.

I visited 50 different sushi restaurants this year And this was definitely the best of the best I try not to repeat restaurants but I've been here many times and it's just so good. Fresh Tasty Delightful Just the best sushi

Well now, this is a nice gem tucked away in the mine of food options that is downtown Orlando. I'm in Orlando a couple times a year, and I've been to sushi restaurants all over this nation. I don't foresee myself returning to this city with out stopping for some food from Shin Japanese cuisine. Walking in we were greeted by a wonderful host, whom turned out to be our server as well. She was quite kind and knowledgeable about the food options, even telling us where the scallops were sourced from. Two other employees also interacted with us running our food and refilling drinks, both were over the top kind and polite. Overall the service from everyone was 10/10. For the food, we started with the Spicy Garlic Edamame and a Miso soup. The Miso was quite nice and the Edamame was absolutely out of this world. What a wonderful blend of garlic, soy, and edamame with just a hint of spice to it. Moving on to our rolls, I had one of the specials of the day: Scallop nigiri. Perfectly fresh and a butter like texture. My main roll was the Double Spicy Salmon Roll. It was wonderfully fresh salmon, avocado, sriracha sauce topped with salmon, Serrano pepper, spicy mayo and wasabi tobiko. Normally such a busy roll isn't my jam, but this was phenomenal. My partner had the Salmon Roe (Ikura), the scallop special and the Freshwater Eel as nigiri. They reported back all were out of this world being fresh and wonderful. For their roll they enjoyed the Creamy Salmon, which was Shrimp tempura, avocado, cream cheese topped with torched creamy salmon, drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo. Having gotten to try one of these myself, It tastes perfectly like its name would imply and was amazing. In closing, I would suggest you run to Shin's next chance you're in the area. If you like Japanese Cuisine you're doing a disservice to yourself by not trying this hidden star.

I am visiting from Dallas and came across this place while walking to another restaurant and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did, as this was top notch sushi. i ended up having dinner here two nights in a row, and it is for sure a go to when in town! Peter, working the sushi bar was very friendly both nights! I would highly suggest this place, and I will be back!

I’m a Japanese person living in Pensacola. I wish I could return to Orlando to eat at Shin!🐟 They offer authentic sushi, sashimi, and a variety of side menus!! Their fish was incredibly fresh!🥹💕 Atigato!! We will definitely come back!!🥳

Had an absolutely amazing experience here. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was wow! Had the garlic edamame, scallop / ikura / and unagi nigiri, and the creamy salmon roll.

There is a Happy Hour from 5:30 to 7 pm where some drinks are $2 off and some appetizers are just $6. Pictured is the avocado salad with yuzu dressing from the $6 menu, and it was so delicious and a generous portion. My brother had the tamago sushi (also pictured) and chicken karage with rice. I also got spicy garlic edamame for $6, and it was such large portion. The staff were so polite and attentive, the bathrooms and restaurant were clean, and it was a fantastic experience all around. Highly recommended!

Sushi Tomi exceeded our expectations! The staff went above and beyond to make our day wonderful, with such warm and attentive service. The sushi was incredibly fresh—every bite tasted amazing, fresh fresh fresh! We left happy and can’t wait to come back.

The food quality is outstanding, and the flavors are exceptional. The Japanese rice is perfectly cooked, showcasing authenticity in every bite. This truly feels like an authentic Japanese dish. Our favorite is definitely the curry rice. I wish I lived closer to the restaurant so I could enjoy your food more often.

絶対に日本食堂です。Haven't been here in 20 years and they're still great. Japanese owned and operated. Sushi, donburi, tempura, curry, appetizers, everything is delicious. Hokkaido rice. Real green tea, either sencha or ryokucha. Ramune drinks. Clean and affordable. Specialty rolls aren't cheap, but very good and fresh. Owner and most staff speak Japanese. Full sushi bar in addition to 8 or 9 tables. This should be your first choice for authentic Japanese food in Orlando.

The food was disappointing. While the service was friendly, they weren’t attentive to our needs (extra plates, utensils, drinks), possibly because they were busy. • Gyozas: Fell apart easily, and the flavor was off. • Chicken Curry: Decent but unremarkable. I’ve had better. • Mexican Roll: Poor quality. no shrimp, and the avocado was black. I went based on great reviews, but it wasn’t worth it.

This place is truly special. The welcome, the service, the friendliness and moreover; The Food was Delicious. Exceptional Chicken Karaage; very tasty. Their Sashimi is high quality some some special Fatty Tuna variety. Seaweed salad is plenty. We liked also the Negitoro roll, Honeymoon roll and the Tempura Ice Cream. Has also good Sake (a bit expensive the Sake). Would love to have Cold House Sake though… Thanks Yoriko, Stephanie and the Sushi Tomi Team. You are awesome! 💛

Visited Orlando for the first time and found you guys thru Tiktok food reviews. We wanted something less gimmicky and actually good. The reviews we saw people posting about your establishment convinced us to come vist. The waitress was extremely attentive and kind, they even served my toddler with a cute kids plate setting. The food was wonderful, the rice they used makes a huge difference! We also had the udon noodles and they were spectacular. I can't wait to visit again just to go back and eat your food.

I love coming here for sushi! It is pretty small inside and it gets crowded fast. The fish is so fresh here and the service is always amazing. My fav dishes are the beef gyudon rice bowl and the salmon roll.

What a wonderful experience! The food is outstanding. I had the biggest glass of bubbles ever for a great price. The sushi was so delicious and fresh. The prices were really good, service was great and the atmosphere was chilled with nice electronic music in the back ground.

Stumbled on this while walking around Downtown with a friend for a weekend getaway. Service was great and it wasn’t too loud that you can’t have a conversation. We got several $5 and $7 sushi’s and they were all good and fresh. Will definitely go back.

This place is beautiful. The food amazing. But i wish the seat could be more comfortable lol

Cute place on the smaller side, but fun fact it turns into almost a nightclub vibe in the afternoon. We went for happy hour, and the prices are really good and the roles are big and they’re lychee martini is also very nice.

Absolutely delicious and the nicest staff. The sweet potato roll is nice and crisp, and the Japanese garden roll is fresh and delightful. I have no idea what vegetables are in it (avocado and cucumber, I figured out, but the other ones, no idea), but it's delicious. The price really isn't all that bad, considering it's made fresh and the quality is wonderful.

Deeeeeelicous. Quality is excellent. Variety is impressive. Drink pairings are perfect. Its a great idea for date night.

Jerrit absolutely made our night fantastic; his service would make us come back and request him as a server again! Sushi was great and fresh. 10/10 Ask for Jerrit!

Absolutely wonderful place! The moss wall is incredibly neat, the atmosphere is amazing, the menu has quite a variety and is phenomenal. My fiance and I both loved the Brussels sprouts in particular, and every ramen we’ve had since had paled in comparison. This was such a positive experience in every possible aspect that we’re now looking for other things to do in Orlando so we’re not just driving 2 hours for ramen, but it may come down to that.

First time here! Juan and Celine made me feel at home, specially Juan! He rocks and is super nice. Ramen was delicious and topped it off with a matcha tiramisu! Well worth it! Will return again!

The Tonkotsu Ramen and the Birria Ramen were absolutely delicious, so flavorful that I finished the entire bowl! The sauces on the table and the fresh garlic take everything to the next level. We also ordered the Gyoza dumplings, which were cooked to perfection. Our server Chow, was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, incredible food and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Ive been here once before, but never coming back after today’s visit. Last time we got the creamy vegan ramen and hot and sour ramen which was great. But today we both got the spicy chicken ramen. Chicken - cold. Broth - cold. And upon ordering extra chicken chashu on the side - we were served refrigerated cold chicken. The ramen already had very little broth and the chicken was a bigger disappointment than that. Never recommend this to anyone. You can see how little chicken and broth was served.

Every time I walk in, Juan greets me like a regular and never misses a beat. My drink? Always made to perfection, balanced, consistent, and exactly how I like it. And somehow, he even makes sure my ramen comes out flawless every time. The broth’s hot, the noodles are just right, and the timing is spot on. You can tell he takes pride in the whole experience, not just the pour. Juan’s the kind of bartender who elevates the vibe and makes you feel like the place runs smoother because he’s there. Total pro.

Best ramen in town! Great service and delicious food. The Gyoza dumplings are amazing too. Lots of vegan & vegetarian options. A must try 👌

We had Juan as our server and he was so professional and kind! He recommended the best items and the first thing he asked was if I had any dietary restrictions. He really cares about his customers. Highly recommended!!

Whenever I travel to Japan, I always revisit Omoide Yokocho; the sight and sound of after hours salarymen letting loose, and the smell of charcoal and grilled chicken fills the air. Susuru brings part of that experience to Orlando, while opening up with more options for the American experience to fit the multifaceted restaurant offerings that is more popular in the United States. That being said, their Yakitori is the highlight of the visit, with the addition of beef and pork rather than chicken only. Ramen and donburi are also available for someone looking for more carb than just meat on a stick. On top of the food, the decor is just another layer of the experience at Susuru, and the service is nothing but exceptional. It sure is a slice of Japan on the opposite side of the globe.

Came to Susuru for our first meal in Orlando during Fall Break and had an amazing time. Food and service were on point and the quality was fantastic - Japanese tapas? Yes, please! Ambiance was great and felt like we were in a hip Izakaya restaurant in Japan! Here's what we ordered: 1 Thigh Momo 1 Chicken Oyster Soriresu 2 Wagyu Short ribs 1 Pork Belly 1 Brussel Sprouts 1 Shishito Peppers 1 Eggplant 1 White Rice (for our young one to enjoy with the Wagyu Short ribs 2 Susuru Chashu Gohan 1 Tori Paitan Ramen 1 Mi-so-hot ramen 1 Yuzu Street Corn 1 King Oyster 3 Hot Green Teas 1 Asahi Draft 1 Matcha Tiramisu (which comes with hot green tea, but us not knowing this, our waitress was kind enough to give us all refills on our green teas) For our family of four this was a wonderful first meal Izakaya style to break the ice to begin our Fall Break vacation in Orlando, Florida! Overall, the experience of having tapas was fantastic and a great start to our family trip. We all enjoyed our meal immensely! Arigato and 5 stars!

I was here on a business trip and happened to stubble across this place while looking for a late night dinner. The food and service were amazing. The atmosphere is great too, and while I’ve never been to Japan and feel like this is pretty close. As I was traveling by myself I was able to get a place at the bar without having to wait too long; however, if you have a a group of people you’ll likely need a reservation. Regarding the food I would highly recommend the king salmon tataki and the tonkotsu ramen black. They also had some great cocktails as well. Kim was great in making recommendations when I didn’t know what I wanted to order. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Orlando!

We arrived shortly after opening and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour. We waited about 50 minutes in total for a table of four, which wasn't too bad considering it was Christmas week. We tried a few different skewers. The short ribs were a bit chewy and not the best, but the chicken hearts, shinkawa, and achilles were good. The okonomiyaki $10 was packed with lots of cabbage. The unagi don $40 had a good amount of eel, and my daughter loved it. The uni ikura don $35 was heavenly, my favorite, but the portion was really small. The chashu gohan was alright, it felt like just pork belly over rice. We also ordered tonkatsu ramen $17 and chicken karaage $11, which my son enjoyed and devoured. The matcha tiramisu came with two teas, which paired very nicely together. Our total was $181 before tipping. We'll be back next time when we're in Florida!

I don’t even know where to begin — with the wonderful atmosphere, the delicious food, or the kind and welcoming staff? Everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I came in hungry as wolves and left completely full and happy for about $80. The ramen was outstanding — every single ingredient had its own amazing flavor. 10/10! The drinks were also a solid 10/10 — unique, beautifully served, and full of variety. The atmosphere deserves 12/10. The place was filled with old toys, and it was so much fun to look at them. I’m not from Asia, but I had the same toys as a kid! That brought back so many memories. For dessert, I had the matcha tiramisu, and it instantly reminded me of my grandmother — it was incredibly delicious. The waiter kindly offered us two teas with the dessert (apparently they were included) and even shared a little tea secret — but I won’t tell you what it was 😉 Thank you also for the amazing grilled meat — soft, juicy, and with the crispiest edge ever. It took me right back home in my mind. I’m so glad we visited this restaurant — it truly made my evening. I live far away, but I really hope to come back someday and try the whole menu. Big thanks to the chefs — you can tell they put their heart into every dish! 🍵 P.S. I rarely write reviews — only when a place is either truly outstanding or really disappointing. So believe me, this one means a lot 🤌🏻😁

The food here is excellent! The flavors are rich and authentic, and the noodles are quite different from other Japanese restaurants I’ve tried — softer, finer, and very easy to eat. The bamboo shoots in the ramen are good, but I think they would taste even better with a hint of sweet and sour flavor instead of just sweetness. Overall, a great dining experience with delicious dishes and a cozy atmosphere.

I nearly cried because it made me miss Japan so much. You can taste that it’s using good quality charcoal and it’s crafted with care. wonderful staff, absolutely jealous i don’t live here. I would come every time possible if i lived here. 5/5 目茶美味しいです！

Everything was very tasty, good portions, the staff's attention was ok, easy parking, clean, I really liked each of the dishes because they have good flavors, I can attest that it was very tasty, I will return soon hungry hehe

Great food, very nice, quiet and relax atmosphere. The service is so good, they are friendly and very informative about the food options. Tan is great!! Love the sushi and the Sake 😎 second time here, not disappoint ❤️

extremely friendly, great service, and SUPER sushi!! the fact that they are open late (til 1am on a friday night) was what brought us in to begin with. super cute, clean place. all the food was great actually- the shumai, gyoza, and edamame. the sushi was so good we even got a second roll of the same kind (spicy tuna). amazing prices to top it all off, wish we lived close enough to come back often!

Everything was very delicious. The Disney, Crab Island, Red Dragon and Snow White rolls were great. We also had the Tempura Cheesecake with ice cream to finish the experience. Some of the best sushi I've had.

Service was amazing and the food was incredible! I’ll be thinking about that spicy tuna roll foreverrrr!! You cannot beat these prices for insanely good the quality is!

The scenery it’s pretty cute is a small cozy place, very yummy food I got crab rangoons and pan fried gyozas which were recommended by the waitress who was very nice and polite, I got sushi and a hibachi plate and it was all super good. Came out pipping hot and fast!! Will definitely by back again!! (Sorry you can’t see that much on the video I was really excited for the food 😭)

Cozy atmosphere and incredible, delicious food! The service was just as impressive. We ordered the Crab Island Roll, Chicken Fried Rice, California Roll, Crazy Salmon Roll, and Kids chicken nuggets w/ fries — hands down the best we’ve ever had! You’ve got to stop by and experience it for yourself. Highly recommended!

The food here is really good, but the dining area ambiance and atmosphere is not so inviting. The phone is constantly ringing and the lady answering the phone is loud. The service is a little abrupt but efficient. Again the food is good so maybe take out is a better option 👌🏽

The reviews are correct, this place is really good! It's been a while since I've had good Chinese food in central Fl & I found the spot! Lunch plates are huge! And, very reasonable prices!! Looking forward to being back in the area so I can try different dishes!

I ordered from Mr K's for the first time. I had the bourbon chicken and krab rangoons. My chicken was so dry, it looked like it had been reheated. Mediocre at best. My husband ordered Mongolian beef and was really disappointed. The entire dish was primarily onion with a little bit of beef. I wouldn't recommend the Mongolian beef dish unless you really want an entire onion for dinner. We haven't had Chinese food in a while, and I can say, we won't be ordering from here again.

excellent service. friendly staff. food was delicious. it was hot and fresh. very flavorful.

This is my mother's favorite place and it's easy to tell why. The food is incredible and the prices are so reasonable. And they really do care and listen to people's orders. My grandma is very picky, and my mom had to make a very specific order for her and they managed to get it perfectly. I got the steamed dumplings which were incredible, and the pepper steak and house fried rice. Everything was 5 stars. Go to this place, watch out for the scam websites, and support these people!! 2 things though, this one family left all of their noodles and rice when we left. Lmaooo they must have either already ate or were a bit taste palette-ly challenged. And watch out for the right corner of the restaurant cause its scorching hot. They also still don't serve sushi!! Hire a sushi chef challenge.

I made a big order for 40 people. When I called on the phone the lady on the phone was very nice and help me a lot and guided me. I have to say the food is amazing everything came out delicious 100/100. The service was amazing. I would definitely will be ordering from here again. Thank you

Mr K's is a small little place that is full of flavor. We found them based on different reviews from Facebook. The restaurant itself is small and has a handful of employees. However the food is full of flavor. We arrived around 2pm and it wasn't packed. We ordered 2 lunch specials which includes either an egg roll or soup and pork fried rice with your entree. The food I would describe is close to a New York style Chinese menu. Many of the Chinese restaurants in the area are more Latin style Chinese so this was a pleasant experience. The actual space the restaurant is located in is small so hopefully they can expand to a bigger venue. If you are craving Chinese definitely visit Mr K's in Lake Nona.

Had a delicious dinner here with excellent above and beyond service. Food was fresh, intricately prepared, definitely showing time, finesses, care and skill. Would highly recommend it as a special occasion dinner. We have been to several high end Japanese restaurants and the fare here is absolutely top notch.

PLEASE do not eat here - this may be the worst meal I’ve ever had. Out of respect for the staff, we tried our best to enjoy the food and find positives in the experience, but I was gagging at times, finding it difficult to swallow the food. We are adventurous eaters, will happily pay for an expensive meal, and adore Japanese cuisine, but this was difficult to stomach - literally. We learned that it is a third party company, not owned or managed by Disney, which explains the shocking experience…

Do not go here. This is a price fixe 7 course OMAKASE MENU. There is no option to order a plate of sushi as in someone's review. They must have confused the restaurant. The food was inedible. We are foodies and don't mind spending money on a great meal. Cold, too much sauce, chewy items with no taste. It became a joke as to what the next dish would bring. Left hungry as I couldn't eat it. I would not go back for free.

3 of us went there for dinner, ordered Matsu sushi for dinner. The sushi quality was very good and we very generous portion of fresh fish. The staff were all very nice. My son and husband had variety of allergies like nuts, sesame, shell fish and egg. The staff were extremely careful and accommodating with our allergies and go above and beyond tailored to our needs. This made our day even better and we will go back again for our next visits. ❤️😊👌

Superb omakase meal. We had the new menu that just launched (12/24). The staff were very careful to explain the omakase concept and price structure. (We have been to Japan and also eat at NYC Japanese restaurants frequently, so no problem.) It appears some guests have confused this place with the sushi or the teppanyaki restaurants there. The sashimi course (second course) was delicious. I loved the fried red snapper served with maitake in broth (course 4). We had the A5 wagyu steak with an onion ponzu sauce ($35 upcharge) that was tender and a perfect medium rare. Two piece nigiri and red miso was just right for course 6 because by that point I was so full I could barely eat another bite. We had the sake pairings which went with the courses beautifully. Our server was fantastic and all the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. (Thanks, Keiko!) Decor was very attractive as well. Expensive and worth it. With tax and tip was about $500 pp.

Takumi-Tei is as much about dining as it is experience. The price is very high, but the value is a good one. Our primary waitress was Kie, and she was excellent. We also had other servers available to bring in dishes, all synchronized very professionally. We never had an empty glass or were left looking for service. As far as I am aware all of our servers were native Japanese and could speak the language, while our waitress spoke very clear English she also had Japanese style responses (in English) which I think worked as a bit of a bridged authenticness. We were I believe in the paper themed room, and it was beautifully decorated. Only one other group joined us and as they were mainly foreign speakers everything remained quite intimate. We had a child of eleven in our group who was also absolutely exhausted, so we were a little concerned how she would react to the omikase menu (chefs choice). While there were a couple misses for her, there was more than enough food to keep her satisfied and let her experiment. She did have a larger gap between courses as she wasn't offered as many where she took a moment to rest her head on the table. Me and my girlfriend went with the normal adult menu and I chose to also get sake pairings. The seasonal appetizers were really wonderful. The presentation was beautiful and everything tasted amazing. The Nigiri and sushi roll slice were excellent. I can say that once or twice I've had better Nigiri, but this was at least up there at third. The lobster tempura was, again excellent. It was simple and perfect. Sashimi was also wonderful, similar to the Nigiri. Presentations remained beautiful. We both went with the wagyu which was again really great. Maybe not top 5 steaks ever, but very good. The miso soup was really great. For dessert I got the strawberry yuzu sorbet, which had a stunning presentation and a refreshing taste, but wouldn't have been my usual dessert choice. The macha service paired with it exceptionally though and they both elevated each other. Overall, excellent, however it is very expensive. Overall for two adults and one child with sake pairings for one adult and I believe an 18% included gratuity the price was close to $1000.

A truly amazing dining experience. This is fixed price only and you can choose from either a vegetarian menu or one with meat courses. We had the Kiku which is the meat course menu and every single dish was fantastic. Our personal favorites were the lobster tempura and the A5 wagyu beef courses. They also have a great selection of sake and cocktails - our server recommended one of the sake flights and it did not disappoint. The service is top notch and each course is explained to you in detail.

Live in hunters creek and decided to try some take out from here. The ramen melted in the container and got all over my cars carpet. The broth that didn’t leak out wasn’t bad pork was tasty. Ordered two sushi rolls about $15 each. Very small amount of sushi and was hoping taste would make up for it but it tasted old to me and had soggy tempura and would honestly prefer Publix sushi. Really wanted to like this place as I live 5 minutes away but probably won’t be back.

I’ve been dining here for more than 10 years and it’s the best sushi in Orlando! All the servers are attentive to your every need but Ann takes service to another level. I’m excited for their new location coming soon!!

Mikado is our go-to spot whenever we’re craving sushi in Orlando. They have a great variety on the menu, and the service is always on point. This time, we tried the Wagyu hand roll and it did not disappoint, it literally melted in our mouths. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Not the best Takoyaki we have tried ( we have been in Japan twice) but they were good) Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality sushi and a consistently great dining experience!

Amazing sushi rolls and fantastic service. We were looking to try some sushi while visiting Orlando and came across this place online based on the photos and reviews. Well worth the drive from anywhere in Orlando. Some of the best tasting sushi rolls I’ve tried. So many unique combinations and flavours. Personally recommend the Volcano roll! 😋 The service was also excellent. Friendly and helpful waitress served us and the food arrived quickly. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for awesome sushi with some rolls that are unique.

Very nicely decorated place, great for a date night! The server was very sweet and took great care of us. The chicken katsu was cooked perfectly!!! So delicious!! The pan fried egg noodles were really good too! I will definitely be back here!

If you love watching an artist work, you need to sit at the bar. This isn't just very tasty sushi and rolls, the presentation and structure is amazing. They will recommend specials and what just came in. Please consider coming here I will return the next time I am in town

Got there right as it opened. Was greeted, seated, and got drink orders less than a minute after arriving. Appetizers and sushi came out lightning fast, atmosphere was really nice, presentation was awesome, staff were very nice. Overall 10/10! Best sushi I’ve had, and I’ve been to quite a few.

My partner and I checked Ta-Ke Sushi and Grill while visiting Orlando and had a very pleasant experience. Both waiter and waitress taking care of us were extremely attentive (refilling our waters without asking, checking up multiple times, etc.) and very nice! They were extremely friendly from the moment we walked in to the moment we were leaving. The food was absolutely amazing, their fried gyoza was crunchy while having soft chicken on the inside, their chicken katsu dishes were definitely some of the best katsu I’ve ever had (especially with their angel sauce!) Overall, Ta-Ke has an extremely welcoming atmosphere and delicious food to accompany it :D

This is my first time coming here, and I was not disappointed at all!! The food and the service were great. I love how they have a section on the menu with Disney movie titles ☺️ #DisneyFan For appetizers, I got the Chicken Gyoza and the Shrimp Shumai & for the entrée, I got the College Roll and the Heaven Roll (sorry about the video. I started eating and forgot to take a photo when the food came 😂) I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for just a chill spot to get some sushi. The only thing I wish they had was cocktails, but besides that, this place is a vibe 🥰

Cosy little spot. Very friendly and respectful service. Food was fresh. Perhaps not the best sushi in my life but the price is unbeatable.

This place has horrible customer service and the ramen on my opinion is by far the nastiest tasteless ramen I have ever tasted in my life. I took one sip of the broth and immediately called the server over and said I’m sorry I really have never had Tonkotsu ramen that tasted like this before (didn’t taste like Tonkotsu at all). The broth had no flavor and did not taste like it was made using pork bones. It tasted like it was instant ramen broth. I asked the server if I could replace it with sushi or something different. Considering I barely ate it. He then proceeded to say the universe doesn’t revolve around me, well other people like it and a bunch of other rude comments.

My wife and I stopped in to get some sushi while on a walk to escape the rain and couldn’t have been more happy. The food was great, the server was so nice and efficient and were super stoked to have found a place we can frequent so close to home. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Can’t beat their happy hour prices! Good sushi and friendly server.

So delicious and fresh! The server was super kind and helpful. We love hanging out here!

Tori Tori is always such a vibe! My sister and I went on a Friday, and since it’s first come, first serve seating (no reservations), we tried to get there right when they opened. We arrived at 5:15 p.m., just 15 minutes after opening, and the place was already packed. Thankfully, we were able to grab a spot near the bar. Parking can be a little tight, but they do have an overflow lot across the street in the back, which helps. Ordering is simple and casual you can either scan the QR code at your table or use the paper slip in the cup to write down what you want and the quantity, then bring it to the bar to place both food and drink orders. You can either open a tab or pay as you go with card or cash. The food and drinks never disappoint here. It’s definitely one of my go-to spots after work, especially since they offer a solid happy hour during the week. This time, we ordered garlic fried rice, lamb chops, blue crab dip, chicken meatballs, tomato, shrimp, beef, and pork belly. Everything was packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. Tori Tori is a great tapas-style spot to unwind, grab amazing bites, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Absolutely spectacular dining experience! The food is creative, refined, and worthy of its 4 Michelin stars. Every dish is perfectly executed with incredible flavors and presentation. Outstanding service and an unforgettable atmosphere. Truly world-class!

I’ve been here several times and they’ve never let me down. The vibe is dark and stylish, making it perfect for a date or just to chill with friends before hitting the club… as a pregame spot, it works perfectly. 🍸 The Espresso Martini de añejo is excellent, definitely one of my favorites on the menu. 🙌🏻 Personally, I like coming on weekdays since weekends get pretty busy, but the energy is always cool. I’ve tried different bartenders and each one has their own touch!! always delivering solid drinks. Hope they keep those standards high, because honestly this place has become one of the best options in Orlando. 🔥

Love love love this bar! I’m going to bring all my friends here when they’re in town! Super trendy, great food options, friendly service, and amazing ambiance. I love the Japanese influence and the tiny plates are fun to try with friends. Warning- the screwballs were VERY strong lol. Can’t complain about heavy hands.

Fun! Tasty! Izakaya! Small plates, great for sharing. No reservations, hosts, or waiters. Grab a table, order at the bar, runners bring your food out. What you miss in service, they make up for in flavor. Cocktails were excellent. Portions were great. Recommended this place for drinks, snacks, and a good time.

You must know how it works before you go Napkins? Above your head very near you. Same as chopsticks. Walk in and find a seat, or a table, or a place at the bar. Now the food it’s truly amazing. It comes quick and the drinks are incredible. Worth the visit

To say this was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had since moving to Florida is an understatement. This was some of the best food I have had. Kudos all around to the chefs and staff. Also the drinks were next level too! This is a must try to anyone looking

I am so happy that my favorite tofu stew place was open for lunch. Got to see Cherry and her sons who are the owners. Kevin, Jericho and Jerome are the three brothers that run this place. They are the nicest family run restaurant. I love how generous they are and how hard they work everyday. I’ve frequent here with my family for awhile. They have the best tofu soup. I always go with the assorted tofu soup and their popular stone bowled bibim bop. They also have really good galbi (marinated steak) and variety of side dishes. All their veggies are fresh and their dishes are authentic Korean. I love it so much! Thank you for making my day!

This place is amazing! The food is excellent and this is my new favorite go-to place for sundubu. Not only is the stew here great, but many of the menu items have amazing flavor. I think the best part of this establishment is that the owners are so friendly and hospitable and genuinely care about the customer's dining experience. I highly recommend going to this restaurant if you're looking for a nice family owned establishment to dine at. It's worth becoming a regular not only for the tasty food, but to support the wholesome staff at the restaurant.

A really tasty bite worth trying. We got the Korean fried chicken and the cheesy chicken tteokbokki, both really delicious options. Would recommend getting a couple of entrees and sharing because everything this place has to offer needs a try. Cozy atmosphere and the staff are extremely hospitable. Expect to spend $15-$20 per person. Will be coming here again, definitely satisfies all cravings.

We've been coming here for years. An excellent family owned restaurant, great food, friendly and warm service and atmosphere. We love everything about this place. I love the Galbi combo, includes tender, well marinated grilled beef, seafood tofu soup, several sides dishes and Korean rice. My husband likes the Spicy Pork. We actually tried many dishes and they were all exceptional. We're never disappointed and you won't be either! And the prices are very reasonable too!

Ordered the chicken cilantro dumpling sundubu and it tasted so good and yummy. However be SUPER careful about the spice level you ask for. I love spicy food through and through, but most places I’ve been to have not been able to reach my level of success for a spice level. They use a tasty and flavorful hybrid pepper blends to reach an insane level. If you are affected poorly from spice please be careful. This is the only place that can be trusted to surpass the everyday level of boring spice. This is nowhere near a level of hot sauce you find at the grocery store. It was a fantastic experience and would 100% come back.

Possibly the best fried rice I’ve ever had. The kimchi fried rice came out sizzling like fajitas and they stirred the egg and cheese into it tableside. We also ordered the fried tofu appetizer and when it turned out not to be vegan the staff was very nice and accommodating by replacing it free of charge.

Absolutely amazing, best Korean in town. Great vegetarian options but not mostly vegetarian.

Food: As a complimentary appetizer we had crispy tofu with a flavorful dipping sauce. We ordered the tuna pizza which was delicious and the salmon hand rolls were ok. For our entree we had the BBQ Eel donburi and it was our main reason to come here. The eel was very tender with no bones, a great combination with the rice and cucumbers. The only criticism about this dish was the saltiness. Finally, for dessert we had the panna cotta and golden rocher. Both had fun and interactive introductions with great flavors. Service was excellent, Lauren was very friendly and attentive. The other servers made sure our waters were filled, table was clean and empty dishes were taken. The dining room was visually pleasing. Dimly lit with red Japanese maple trees among a wavy structure. The club music was off-putting and didn’t match the vibe for this Japanese based cuisine.

This place is exquisite from start to finish. The food was amazingly delicious. Each dish was presented so creatively and was so tasty. The service was impeccable. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable about each entree and they would time each of the entrees coming out in a way that it wouldn’t overwhelm and overcrowd the table and we can eat in peace. We had caviar, oysters, lobster fried rice, sushi and so much more. I highly recommend visiting this place for an. The atmosphere was inviting and dimly lit, sexy and unique. Amazing experience all around 👌🏽

My date and I enjoyed our experience very much. The food was fantastic and the service was very considerate. I recommend sharing at least 3-4 dishes. The sea bass was great but had an unusual texture. The meat was stringy rather than tender. (that's my only complaint) A must for Orlando Locals!

This was our first time dining at the Chef’s Counter with Chef Jason and Sous Chef Kyle, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Each course was not only delicious but also came with Chef Jason’s personal stories and insights into what inspired the dish, which made the evening both entertaining and meaningful. The entire team was attentive, accommodating, and incredibly welcoming. Chef Jason made the night feel personable and fun — we never felt like just guests, but part of the experience itself. I also want to mention our server, Katrina, who was wonderful throughout the night. She was warm, attentive, and really added to the overall experience. We highly recommend Chef Jason, Sous Chef Kyle, Katrina, and the entire team for anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

Amazing venue that feels intimate and moody. The experience was wonderful and the food was incredibly delicious and full of flavor yet light. The staff were absolutely fabulous. I immediately ordered their Mandarin cocktail, and their tuna crudo appetizer. I then ordered their robata salmon as my main meal. For dessert, I opted for the banana dessert which is infused with rum and coconut. I would highly recommend anyone in the area who's looking for delicious Japanese cuisine. You will not be disappointed.

This is the first time I visited this location, by reservation only. It requires formal attire. The food is very decent but a bit overpriced. The service is pretty good from valets to waiters. Nice atmosphere and hotel environment. I really love the deserts. The chicken nuggets were surprisingly good.

My boyfriend & I came here last night for our 3 year anniversary. The food and service was absolutely amazing. The staff was so attentive and friendly to us. The food was so delicious and we already looking forward to coming back into to town for Nami. 10/10!

The ramen was bland. I got the spicy chicken ramen and there was just a faint chicken flavor. The shrimp shumai was almost $9 for six of the premade frozen ones you can buy at the store. My friend ordered the shrimp tempura and it is just the American style, deep fried shrimp and again didn't have any flavor. Also the workers were just arguing the whole time and it wasn't pleasant to eat around. I won't be coming again

With so many options in this parking lot, it sure is hard to pick a place to eat. Tokyo Ramen was our choice of the day. The place was mostly empty for Friday lunch but the food still took a while to reach our table. It looked like they had several pick up orders to complete first - no problem! I ordered the tonkatsu ramen which came with only one half of an egg, but three slices of traditional charred pork. The pork was nice and tender, so it wasn't too difficult to tear off separate bites. The broth was pretty good, and surprisingly not super salty (yay)! I wish the egg had a bit more flavor to it, but it was cooked well. All in all, a good choice for tonkatsu ramen! My husband got the gyudon bowl with rice. The meat was absolutely delicious, but the portion seemed small, especially compared to the giant bowl of ramen. Also, I remember multiple types of ramen were not available off the menu that day. Like 4 or so were marked as not available (like miso ramen). So, I'm glad the familiar tonkatsu was still available as I wasn't up for a seafood or curry ramen.

The fried calamari had this odd after taste to the point I couldn’t finish after 2 pieces. The chicken fried rice tho I highly enjoyed since the chicken was soft and the rice was so light. The ramen was why too salty for my taste , I like to add salt but it was too much and wasn’t able to finish it

It’s my little foodies’ first time here. I ordered the following: 1. Tonkatsu with udon noodles - Udon noodles are on the chewier side compared to all our udon eating experiences. Broth isn’t creamy as Kabuto. Little Miss likes the Tonkatsu Udon. It’s just too chewy for my little man and me. The little man could only enjoy the egg in the noodle soup. 2. Tokyo buns - As for the so called “tender” pork chasu in the bun, the meat is on the salty side for us three and it is very dry and overcooked, almost dry for shredded jerky texture. Definitely not a kid-friendly appetizer for my little foodies. Pork chasu is also too tough and chewy for me to enjoy. Unless it’s jerky, tough, chewy, overcooked meat is just simply trashy meat for us three. Note: Restrooms are in working function but very dusty and rusty. Customer service is okay.

Not bad. Tonkatsu ramen was good. Takoyaki was legit. Chicken wings wasnt good. I pointed out to them they should cook them longer. Obviously I won't order chicken wings there again. My server was friendly but the person in charge didn't even apologize or let alone take the wings off my bill. I literally had 2 wings and didn't bother with the rest because they wasn't cooked thoroughly. Other then that food was good. Pleasant environment. I'd come back again... Maybe haha

We will start off by saying we googled for best ramen places. I never ordered one. My teenage son did. It did come in a huge bowl. He wasn’t a huge fan. The Japanese buns with pork inside was good. It had a small slice of pork belly inside some green onions and sauce, The pork egg roll was delicious! My teenage son said his Japanese bun with spicy chicken was delicious but it was more batter than chicken. His 3 milk tea boba was very worth it! My Japanese beer (from Canada) was refreshing. Overall I can’t tell you about the ramen because I myself didn’t have any. My teenage son said the broth could have used more seasoning or flavor. He does know how to cook and has a great palette. (So I do value his opinion). Customer service was off I guess because maybe the language. She was there handling the front all by herself so maybe she was focused on the four tables she was serving. We did go for a later lunch. We wouldn’t go again but will try other places to find which one will be the best for ramen!

Ordered via UberEats. My wife liked it a lot, particularly the bao and the Unagi Don. The Tonkotsu ramen was okay; heavy and a bit on the salty side, but not bad. Got the Gyu Don and the Oyakodon. Both were okay; I thought both were too salty. On a recent order I got the poke bowl. It didn't have the tobiko I ordered, and had a piece of bad salmon in it. Bringing it down a star for that.

This Hyatt offered a pleasant stay overall. The resort facilities were excellent, well-maintained grounds, comfortable rooms, and everything you’d expect from a quality property. Location-wise, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring Orlando without being in the middle of the theme park chaos, which I appreciated. Staff were generally friendly and helpful throughout our visit. However, breakfast service was notably disappointing. Most of the breakfast personnel seemed disengaged and indifferent to guests’ needs. The exception was a gentleman from Morocco who was brilliant, attentive, warm, and made the morning experience much better. Housekeeping was another weak point. Despite multiple days at the resort, they never replenished our coffee supplies or face cloths, which became frustrating given the room rate. It’s basic service that should be standard. The resort itself delivers on amenities and atmosphere, but these service inconsistencies prevent it from being exceptional. With better attention to these details, it would easily be a top-tier experience.

This resort is beautiful! The hospitality is incredible. Krystal -the events manager was extremely friendly and went out of her way to make our stay special! Chance -our pool side bartender/server was so friendly and made great drinks! The check in associate Gavin was very accommodating and friendly. The staff was kind and helpful. It was great. I highly recommend this beautiful place for your getaway!

An Oasis of Quiet Luxury in Orlando I was simply amazed by the quiet, subtle luxury of the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. The property is absolutely beautiful — from the stunning grounds to the impressive design of the golf courses. It feels peaceful and private, like a hidden retreat right in the heart of Orlando. The rooms are comfortable and well kept, especially considering the hotel’s 1984 construction, and there are plenty of great restaurant options right on-site. You can even spend some time with Merlot, the friendly resident parrot, who’s always a delight to see! A huge thank-you to our bellman, Ernest, who truly went above and beyond during our stay. He kindly drove us from the property to the main gates so we could explore nearby restaurants and shops. His professionalism and kindness really stood out. Overall, this was a fantastic week-long stay. The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is a gem — beautiful, peaceful, and unforgettable.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando! A huge thank-you to Mark Betancourt for his exceptional help in coordinating and over-communicating every detail of the birthday surprise for my husband—it turned out perfectly and made our stay extra special. The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The hotel itself is beautiful, and our kids absolutely loved the amazing pool and water slide. We truly appreciate the thoughtful touches and outstanding service. We can’t wait to come back!

Stay for the amenities, not the rooms. The Hyatt Grand Cypress makes a strong first impression — the entrance is stunning, the property feels grand, and the amenities are impressive. However, once we settled into our room, it was clear the resort could use a little extra care (think: power washing awnings and sidewalks, tidying the lake beach, no water in the stream running through the grounds ).I’m thinking it’s probably because it’s such a large property that being able to keep everything up to par is a struggle for owners. As for the rooms: Every room is the same until you upgrade to a suite. Some of the issues in our first room…bed and pillows were uncomfortable, walls were scuffed, balcony glass was dirty, and our tub drain was broken. Thankfully, because we are Explorist members with Hyatt, we received an upgraded suite and it made such a difference — much better bed and a thoughtful birthday surprise for our son with balloons, snacks, and s’mores kits. That was a beautiful touch and turned our experience around. The pool area is the highlight — waterfalls, hot tubs, paddle boats, bikes, canoes, and a great pool restaurant with fair prices.The vibe is relaxing and family-friendly. The pool area is the reason we would come back. This Hyatt shines in amenities but could elevate the experience with better room upkeep and more consistent service for loyal guests.

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever seen, not just esthetically pleasing, but it's very peaceful and tranquil as well. It's a very nice place to come to relax and regenerate. And it is more or less walking distance from Walt Disney World property! This hotel is approximately $100 per night less than any resort on Disney property and again; you're pretty much walking distance from Disney World when you stay here. So you can save a good bit of money and stay at an extremely nice resort here. Highly recommend!

Our flight got cancelled and we ended up staying at the Grand Cypress until the next day. Andrea was great. She checked us in with A smile after a rough day and gave us a glass of champagne. She then gave us great restaurant recommendations. The staff overall was great. They were all smiling and made our horrible day better. Thank you again for the warm hospitality

Just spent an incredible week at The Ritz-Carlton Grand Lakes, and every moment was pure 5-star perfection! The entire resort is stunning — from the elegant Ritz side to the beautiful adjoining JW Marriott. We loved splitting our time between the Ritz pool and the JW Lazy River (which is such a fun bonus!). Room service was exceptional every time — breakfast and dinner were both consistently delicious and perfectly presented. A special shoutout to Lorena, our room attendant, who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. She was absolutely wonderful! One small piece of feedback — I placed a small Amazon order (an HDMI cable, face wash, and flip-flops for the pool) and had it shipped directly to the Ritz-Carlton address. I was surprised to learn the packages were sent to the FedEx office at the JW, where I had to pay a $10 handling fee per package just to retrieve them. My $40 order turned into a $70 one, which was an unexpected (and honestly frustrating) surprise. For a resort of this caliber, I’d have expected the items to be held at the front desk or at least delivered to my room for that fee. Hopefully this can be reconsidered for future guests — it felt like an unnecessary inconvenience in an otherwise flawless stay. Aside from that, everything else was absolutely top-notch, and we can’t wait to return!

I was visiting some friends. My favorite part was the lazy river and hot tubs. It was heated and a lot of fun. The restaurant had great food. And this resort is very family friendly they even had a Starbucks and Bodega in the resort. I have to say it was so much fun. The restaurants are very nice too. We had a great experience with friends and family.

Had a great stay. The staff always go above and beyond in service. Manager Chris from in room dining was exceptionally professional and accommodating. My wife and I had a fantastic time. The fridge in the room didn't work, but we decided not to use it and it wasn't an issue so we didn't mention it to anyone. That's the only reason for 4 stars for the room. The property is beautiful with plenty to do and plenty of places to eat. Everything was very clean.

With the Ritz you expect perfection and they delivered. (Except my spa service). The hotel common areas and room was lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable with soft bedding. The pool was fun. It was lively without being crowded. The restaurants were delicious and service top notch. We did the falcon experience. It was fun to meet the birds. Our host was knowledgeable and friendly. I had a long massage that was wonderful. The only thing that didn't deliver was my facial, which was quite bad. I signed up to get a vitamin c facial but the esthetician aggressively talked me into getting a hydrofacial after I had already said no three or four times. It was an 80-minute facial and for 10 minutes of it she put a red light on my skin and she did another 20 minutes of just having a regular sheet mask sit on my skin. She kept spending really long amounts of time rearranging bottles on the counter to run down the clock. When she did touch my skin, she wore latex gloves and it felt like she was pulling it. She ended it by completely smothering my skin and hair in a very thick oil. I had to wash it off before I could even get redressed because it would have stained my clothes. My skin looked sunburned after and was very irritated for about a week. I would never get another facial at the Ritz.

We had a reservation that we were looking forward to but the day we were to travel we had a medical emergency. We were unable to travel and had to cancel our flight and that was no issue. I had to cancel our room but unfortunately I was not within the cancellation period . I phoned the hotel to explain the circumstances but was informed they could do nothing. No refund ,no resort credit..nothing but a $ 700. plus charge to my credit card. I know it is our fault but we were hopeful the hotel would offer us something for our loyalty to the marriott brand. We would have loved to have stayed at the resort but now we will never book a trip to Ritz Orlando again. It is My fault having the emergency but It would have been nice if they could have made an exception. We will spend our money elsewhere and the $700. charge is a lesson learned.

Beautiful hotel and room BUT…. 1) PLEASE have a good morning solution that doesn’t involve leaving the room and standing in line 15 minutes. Yep, we tried numerous times to order room service coffee and couldn’t get anyone to even answer the phone. 2) the toilet paper is single ply, and TERRIBLE Please, if people are spending over $1500 a night, you can provide decent toilet paper. Awful.

We had a fantastic stay at the Ritz this past week. The hotel was amazing and the staff and service was outstanding! We were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a special surprise in our room while we were enjoying the resort. We want to give a special thank you to Olivia at Grand Lake sports for taking care of us with the mountain bike rental and guidance on the mountain bike trail. We experienced in room dining for breakfast and dinner and it was all excellent! We will definitely be back! James, Elyse and Sébastien Turk

Our stay was very enjoyable and comfortable. There was only aspect that came shy of meeting or exceeding our expectations, and that was the front desk service we received from Alissa. She seemed much more focused on other tasks than tending to guests who were checking in. She got us checked in, but did not share any information with us about property amenities. During our wait for our room to be ready, we sat out at the Aquamarine Bar and our experience there with Jennifer was truly delightful! Jennifer was able to help us figure out shuttle service and she was so pleasant and responsive to us and all the other guests in the bar area. Overall, the room and accommodations were very nice.

We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando for a gala and were really looking forward to a wonderful experience, especially with the great rate we received through a room block. I reserved three rooms for myself and my family, but upon check-in, my husband and I were told that only one room with a king bed was available - it was an accessible room. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to take it, and it wasn’t ideal for getting ready for a formal event. The shower setup was inconvenient with no door so the whole bathroom was wet on the floor and steamed up from the shower, and there was barely any countertop space to prepare for the gala. We usually stay at the Four Seasons, so our expectations for service and comfort are high and while we hoped the Waldorf would offer a comparable experience, the property seems overdue for renovation. The water pressure was poor, the toilet flush was weak, and the plumbing seemed to run during the night, making it hard to sleep. There were also stains on our comforter (which housekeeping promptly replaced after I messaged them). On our first night, my family and I had dinner at the lobby restaurant. We all ordered different dishes, yet all ended up feeling unwell afterward, we ordered room service that night which was also not good at all - which led us to avoid eating at the hotel for the rest of our stay. To make matters worse, we reserved a rental car through the property next door Signia who is a connected property for our final day, with pickup scheduled between 5:30–8:30 PM. When we arrived at 6:30, we were told the rental agent had left for the day, and we couldn’t get our car. We had to cancel and rush to the airport to find a last-minute vehicle, which was quite a headache. We truly wanted to love this property - the setting is nice, and the brand has such a strong reputation - but unfortunately, the series of issues made our stay uncomfortable and disappointing. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as the potential for a truly five-star experience is there.

We had a great time here, room service was fantastic, pool area too! We had some tuna nachos super tasty, and also chicken wings, the hotel connects to the other hilton and you can easily walk through and enjoy the other pool and bar which is great! I also love that has a disney transportation waiting area, This hotel makes you feel like royalty 👑 ✨️

Our stay here was absolutely fabulous from the minute we pulled up to valet. All the staff members we encountered went above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable and special. We had dinner at La Luce which was very good and the service was spectacular. The amenities the property offers are abundant.

This is not a Waldorf that I would recommend. There is nothing notes about this property and they charge for things that aren’t necessary given their particular property. The rooms are okay, but the beds are terrible and uncomfortable. This property is only a Waldorf based on the name and the extreme price for amenities. The quality and value simply aren’t there. The price for parking is ridiculous. This isn’t a property in a downtown or even convenient area. If you self park at a price both of $45 with tax, there isn’t even a clear path to walk to the hotel. You have to go up and down stairs and cut across foliage to get to the hotel entrance. The hotel is obnoxiously and obviously punitive if you choose to pay $45 for self parking instead of $57 for the notably slow valet parking (see all other google reviews). We didn’t valet park, knowing that we would be in a hurry in the morning. The in-house restaurant, Bull & Bear, is another exercise is show over substance and should be skipped. Long story short, although we enjoy staying at Waldorf Astoria properties, this one doesn’t have a good value proposition and should be skipped.

This is a superb hotel. We noticed the high level of service as soon as we arrived. The service at the pool and the outside bar is particularly great. Highly recommend this hotel if you want a more luxurious stay in Disney. Excellent location too

Aida and Mohammed with Guest Services were very hospitable. Prince DJ in the breakfast restaurant was professional and provided service with a smile. The Waldorf is in a great location, food is good, lovely views, and the bed/pillows were comfortable. However, the carpets in the hallways (& the room I stayed in) need a good shampoo clean. I was on the 11th floor. The night light under the bathroom sink is a great feature. I love the Aesop amenities and fluffy white towels. Our car got registered under another guest room, so I had to wait over 25 minutes before they investigated and eventually found it. How does that happen? Thankfully I got to the valet desk early enough so I didn't miss my 10am meeting. The Sea Bass at Bull & Bear was delish. The lobster bisque was more puree than anything. I was expecting to eat chunks of lobster, but it was ok.

First, the service was absolutely flawless! My server Thi P was literally the best! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and every time I need a drink or wanted a roll, he was right there. The drinks were amazing, the food amazing! The vibes were great! The LV roll is the best roll I’ve ever had in my life! I also sat at the sushi bar and those guys are awesome! Seeing their talent in action was great but they are also so friendly and kind!

Great experience! Our server, Thi, was attentive and nice, and so helpful with finding delicious menu items despite my dietary restrictions. The wagyu carpaccio was incredible as was the ube latte and ube cheesecake! We will be back!

Excellent! The ambiance is calming and intimate. Greeted by a lovely host who offered me options for seating since I was dining alone understanding that dining alone doesn't mean you want to be alone. Decided the bar area because of the ambiance of the lit bar and the potential conversation of the bartenders. Bartenders were wonderful. They knew all about the menu, suggested drink pairings, didn't mind me drinking mineral water. I had two rolls, the j roll which was full of flavor from the truffle cream to the sweetest chili and then for a spicier flare, I had the double tekka roll that had house infused tamari and kizami wasabi. Both rolls were fantastic. Highly recommend.

Our server Mackenzie made a wonderful big difference in my first impression of Kabooki. My mom & I came in without a reservation for magical dining and were seated promptly. I do wish their sake list was a bit more ample with more price ranges and the acoustic I found not to my liking for even an intimate setting: I found myself shouting a bit or having to guess what was said. It’s cool if that’s the vibe you want. Tori Tori -Esque but make it sit down dinner!

The food was outstanding! The sticky short ribs were the best I ever had, the the wagyu capaccio. Service was friendly, but it took a while till we get our food and drinks.it was a really nice experience

The overall experience at Kabooki sushi was impressive, characterized by excellent service and outstanding culinary offerings, making it an attractive option for a night out with friends or a romantic partner; I intend to return.

If you’re looking for a spot that’s perfect for a date night and full of pleasant surprises, this Kabooki location absolutely delivers. From the moment I sat at the bar for dinner, the entire experience was top-notch. I started with an incredible tuna tasting, followed by the hot rock Wagyu experience—which was not only fun but absolutely delicious. The highlight of the night, though, was a dish called “Money Bags.” It was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Pro tip: order a bowl of rice and mix it with the crema from the Money Bags—trust me, it’s next-level good. Overall, this place checks every box: great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service. Definitely one of my new favorite dining spots in Orlando!
