    I took my son who wanted to try sushi. Im not a sushi conisour but I do enjoy it from time to time. It is in a very nice area, bright and clean. It wasn't the best sushi place I've been to but it was nice. It was definitely priced higher than what you received. I attribute that to the area, not the food. It was a nice time overall however I won't return just because I know there are better places.

    La mejor comida japonesa de Orlando

    What a wonderful experience, the staff, waitress and runner were diligent and always around when we needed them, the food was very good, edamame servings a bit small, but not a big deal. I have never seen my son eat so much chicken fried rice ever in my life. Something about this place just hit right for him. Really grateful for their patience with all five kids we brought in, all of who wanted to be the stars in their own comedy/engineering show. Will visit again when we return to town

    Empty on a Friday night and that should’ve been our first sign. We ordered edamame to start and it was the tiniest portion. Our three kids all got miso to start and our oldest spilled his. Completely our fault and we got it cleaned up but when we asked for a new soup, we were told they would have to charge us for it. The child that spilled his soup ordered an additional sushi roll (since he no longer had soup to eat) and while he was boxing that up at the end of our meal, someone came and asked if there was a reason we were still sitting there. The food was fine but the service will not have us returning.

    Such a good place and the waiter call Julio did a really good job serving and taking care of everything, I’ll come back !

    First visit. Highly recommended by our foodie friends. Without a doubt the best Asian food in all of Orlando. The prices are too low for the quality and all food was made from scratch. There was not a big pan of previously cooked food like you see in similar restaurants. This is now going our go to Asian restaurant.

    Such a lovely experience! Amazing food and we got our food so fast. The sushi was delicious and fresh and the house ginger dressing on the Ari salad is soooo good. Staff members were all very nice. Cozy outdoor patio seating

    Fresh sushi. Very clean. Great service. Beautiful area.

  • February 3, 2026

    Great quick sushi place for our family. They had regular plain rolls available even though they weren't in the menu and gluten free soy sauce.

  • January 27, 2026

    Amazing! Great sushi at a very fair price at a restaurant with a vibe that matches. Whether eating inside or on the town square this sushi experience is a win all day long. Timely, friendly service with fresh sushi using fresh fish, vegetables, etc. What a great place for brunch or a first date. Absolutely in love with the food, the ambiance and the service. 5+ Stars.

    Came here on a Friday night, extremely understaffed, took 10 minutes just for drinks, 50 minutes for simple rolls. Waiter kept running away from us. Food was okay, restaurant needs to be modernized, does not look like a high quality restaurant.

  • December 17, 2025

    The salmon gunkan was soooo good omg I loved it The nigiri set was fresh as it gets And the samurai roll was really good. A must try.

  • December 12, 2025

    Stopped here for a late lunch on a Wednesday and I was the only person in the restaurant. I’d have been concerned except the whole town was dead. For such a cute shopping area just off the lake, I’d expected it to be busier. Anyways, the food was all delicious and the staff was attentive. I wouldn’t go out of my way to but I’d eat here again when in the area and looking for sushi.

  • November 30, 2025

    Excellent sushi, especially the KJ Special on crispy rice. We ordered it twice!

  • November 20, 2025

    Well today I went there and I found out asking the waiter questions was disturbing him I only asked if he had any combination meals or anything like that and I ordered a few things and I noticed his bad attitude and I asked him about it why do you got a bad attitude he goes cuz you're a difficult customer I don't think so I quickly ordered I ordered more food and I ordered more food how can that be difficult he was a very ungrateful server I still tipped him just to give him a shock but I tell you I'm never going back there the potstickers were like mush I invite anybody to go try the pork potstickers and tell me you if you like them. $45 for some potstickers chicken fried rice in California roll that's way too expensive for one person never ever going back especially with this guy's attitude I really felt like getting up and walking out I felt so aggravated at him for telling me I'm giving him a hard time when he was the one that was short attitude and non-friendly
