What diners say — our read

This listing's ratings cluster at the two ends of the scale. Service tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.3 stars. After that, whether food comes out hot appears most often — 26% of the corpus, averaging 4.3.

One subject never comes up here: how long an order takes. Of the 23 rated reviews, 17 sit at four stars or better and 2 at two or below. If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (16 reviews).

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (97/100) with 3 basic violations. DBPR last walked in on June 15, 2026. That puts it ahead of 72% of graded kitchens in Orange County. The citations behind that grade include cross-contamination and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.

Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. Everything above is computed from the 23 reviews reproduced below.

    Love this place! The food is impeccable! The sticky ribs were my favorite dish of the evening.. Everything else was fresh and the chefs techniques were showcased on every dish. Our server Mackenzie did a fantastic job creating the experience and making our sons 13th birthday special. Thank you!

    I thought the east colonial location was unbeatable until I went here. Amazing sushi, best in FL. Cant stop coming here, would have happily paid double

  • June 26, 2026

    The spicy tuna roll is the best I’ve had in Central Florida

    I honestly do not have a single thing to critique. Starting off there was a strong thunderstorm causing a torrential downpour and our son was sleeping so we could not go inside. They were able to move our reservation an hour and if we were able to come in earlier take us in, which we ended up doing. Sandra, our waitress was incredible and very transparent when we were looking for recommendations. Food was phenomenal, very fresh, unique, and delicious and great ambience as well. We ordered four rolls, sticky ribs (most tender thing I have ever had), and the ube cheesecake totaling $100.

    Fresh, unique cuts of sushi

    absolutely amazing experience. Kaylee, our server was very knowledgeable and was able to give us great recommendations.

    Dinner with a friend

    This place never disappoints! From the service, the drinks the food, everything was amazing! We had the sticky ribs 12/10! The octopus, carpaccio, and crispy tuna, all amazing! Ube cheesecake was PHENOMENAL

    Absolutely one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Orlando. The food was decent at best, but the service completely ruined the night. The female manager working tonight was shockingly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. What made it even worse was being told things that were clearly not true just to avoid taking responsibility for the situation. Instead of resolving issues respectfully, she came across arrogant, confrontational, and dishonest. For a restaurant that tries to present itself as upscale, the management acts like customer satisfaction means nothing. We felt unwelcome the moment we raised a simple concern. No apology, no accountability, and no professionalism — just attitude and excuses. There are far too many better restaurants in Orlando to spend your money at a place that treats customers this poorly. I will never return and would strongly discourage others from going there.

    Amazing sushi!! The moving things on top of the shishito peppers weren't alive, but sure freaked me out when out on the table!!!

  • May 12, 2026

    Food was pretty good and waitress was great, but it was an odd experience. I was eating alone, so I sat at the sushi bar. There were three sushi chefs, but none of them addressed me at all and when I tried to order, they said I needed to order my sushi from the waitress. Very confused as to why they had sushi bar seating at all. Additionally, their pricing is per piece, not per 2 pieces of nigiri like everywhere else, which I knew going in and is fine. However, the cuts of fish were about 1/3 of normal. Overall, for how highly rated this restaurant is, I was not impressed at all. Would not return.

    We travel 45mins to enjoy sushi here and it’s always such a treat. Thank you.

  • May 5, 2026

    Probably the best sushi we’ve had in our life, and we’ve been to Japan! Quality of the fish was incredible 👏

  • April 29, 2026

    Nothing fancy other than the price. It's so dark you cant see what you are eating. Very few options in the menu. Service was ok but I won't come back.

  • April 24, 2026

    They charge a 5% take out fee. No clear mention when I ordered.

  • April 21, 2026

    The food here was actually quite good — everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. I really enjoyed the flavors and presentation, and the kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing. However, the atmosphere was a major downside for me. It was extremely loud throughout the entire visit, to the point where it was hard to have a normal conversation. For the price point, I was expecting a much more comfortable and enjoyable dining environment. Because of that, unfortunately, I don’t see myself coming back. Great food, but the overall experience didn’t match the cost.

    Lots of sushi and other options. Enough veggie options. It is in the back corner of the strip mall and so could be hard to find from the street but thanks to the strip mall parking, plenty of parking

  • April 19, 2026

    Overrated. Limited menu items. Will not return.

  • April 6, 2026

    The service was amazing. Foods are so tasty

  • March 25, 2026

    Always an incredible experience! Food and drinks were delicious, service was great, and as always the sushi (xo) was great!

  • March 22, 2026

    I’ve been to this restaurant 3 or 4 times now and it is hands down the best sushi I’ve had in central Florida. The chef’s specials, to the rolls and of course the ube cheesecake!…everything has been delicious! The service and drinks as well are always on point! Highly recommend.

    My wife and I eat a lot of sushi when we travel and this spot was top 5 for us. The Sashimi was fresh, high-quality, and impeccably sliced and served at the optimal temperature. Nigiri was perfectly seasoned for a balanced-bite. We had three rolls as well, all incredibly tasty. I’m posting pictures of our drinks and desert to add to reviews. All of it delicious. For saki lovers, there is a solid selection to choose from. The restaurant location was a bit odd, but you forget that once stepping inside. It seems this place could be transplanted into the JW Marriott and hold its own just fine.

    Great service from Jade! We had the brussel sprouts appetizer, miso soup, a sashimi plate and a nigiri chef assortment. The cheesecake is fantastic, it is a chocolate cheesecake with whipped cream and meringue. We were greeted warmly by the hostess when we came in and offered a choice of two tables. We really appreciate the excellent customer service and the craftsmanship that went into the sushi. Our entire experience tonight was better than expected! Went back again a few months later and again had terrific service and food. Real Japanese sushi and sashimi. We ate at the bar this time so we could watch them make the sushi. We actually went twice this week. We had one great dessert, chocolate cheesecake which was different from our last visit, but just as delightful. We had tiramisu the second night and the flavor was very unusual compared to other tiramisu we have had, so do t recommend that for dessert. We love the ambiance of the restaurant though it's definitely noisy. The manager, hostesses and servers go above and beyond to make dinner a truly special experience. Great place!
