The food was pretty good but stood out was the lackluster service. We waited at least 10 minutes before the waiter came to greet us. They initially tried to seat us at a table that was under a section of the ceiling that was leaking. They moved us two tables over but didn't do anything to address the leak. Sat someone later there, they just moved the table a few inches so it wasn't directly in the line of fire. Maybe because we didn't have reservations and we're seated in the bar, but we didn't see our waiter too often. Felt like we were an after thought. I'm in Orlando about once a month and my friend likes the food so we may go back again and give them another chance.

One of my most favorite sushi restaurants. I always go out of my way to come here when I’m in orlando. The food is exceptional and they also make wonderful cocktails! The staff is always super friendly.

We’ve been visiting Seito for years (!!) and somehow only now decided to leave a review 😁 The food is always phenomenal, but this time I especially wanted to mention our server, Marina K. She was so attentive - she remembered us and our order! She was also funny, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience better!! Hopefully next time Marina K. will be also there. This time, Marina recommended that we try the happy hour menu, and I’m so glad we did. The burger was delicious, and the potatoes were seriously the best. After that, we went back to our regular order 🤣 We also had the ube cheesecake again, and it is honestly the best. Such a tasty twist on a classic cheesecake, and the boba pearls are so on point. We were hesitant about trying dessert at first last time, but apparently we wasted a lot of time not ordering it sooner 🤣 To sum it up: everything was great as usual. Amazing food, great service, and always a wonderful experience!

Went for our anniversary and had the tuna tower and miso soup. The sushi quality was excellent . This is one of my wife's top go to places for sushi in orlando. The service was appropriately attentive and considerate. I definitely recommend the restaurant however pricing can be a bit higher so plan to spend more if you plan to eat here.

Flavorful menu. Great Sushi! Best Ube Cheesecake, it’s a must have!

Seito Sand Lake did not disappoint! Food and service were both high quality. Griffin did an amazing job with our table and knew the menu front to back. No rushed service and great recommendations. Will definitely return!

Seito Sushi on Sand Lake delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding—beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. What impressed me even more was how the staff went above and beyond to accommodate the dietary restrictions within our group. Their attention to detail and willingness to ensure everyone had an amazing meal did not go unnoticed. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. Dining in the Cherry Blossom Room made the evening even more memorable. It was quiet, intimate, and created the perfect atmosphere for a special night out. Every detail came together to make this an unforgettable experience. My favorites were the jalapeno business roll the truffle miso soup and garlic fried rice.

A super satisfying experience with amazing quality in a modern yet intimate space. The ochazuke was a highlight - sea bass over fragrant mushroom dashi with a subtle mirin note and crispy onigiri for contrast. The chutoro crudo was rich and flavorful, and the salmon tower was a great shareable dish with salmon in different styles. Overall, a very satisfying meal that really blew me away with its quality and execution.

The place is pretty nice and the atmosphere is amazing. Service was great and the restaurant was very clean. Food was good but nothing super amazing… everything was well prepared and look very good… I really wanted to be impressed with the food because I have heard good things about this restaurant… I mean the food was tasty and good… but nothing crazy. Oh I forgot to mention that the green tea ice cream did not have a nice flavor… actually it was kind of lacking a flavor and my daughter did not even eat her strawberry ice cream… she did not like the taste of it.

An extraordinary restaurant—I think it's very reasonably priced. The menu is excellent; it's a top-notch restaurant, and the desserts are the best I've ever tasted... 5 stars.
-
Amazing food. They have an assortment of offerings and everything I tasted was delicious and the flavors were well balanced. The restaurant itself has beautifully appointed decor. There are different decors depending on the section you sit at. It is a bit difficult to speak due to the loud noise but quite enjoyable.
-
Freshest fish we've ever had and my wife lived off the bayou. The drinks are super tasty, so come for happy hour before 630. Neat take on edamame with lime garlic. Lounge feel,great food, great service. A little pricey but worth the experience.
-
The Ora Sake (salmon nigiri) was DIVINE, HEAVEN SENT, AMAZING, MOUTH WATERING, SPECTACULAR.... my only complain is that they don't have a NYC location.... my husband and i came here for vacay and im so glad he found this spot. the ora sake, man so GOOD, i can eat a whole plate if it was meant to be a party size. i can go on for DAYS on how amazing that salmon nigiri is, i wish i had more. PLS OPEN UP IN NYCCC

Delicious food, great vibes, amazing for date night ❤️

Love love love everything about seito. The garlic fried rice and jalapeño business roll are so delicious. I’m a little sad they shorted happy hour from 7 to now 6:30 but besides that, everything is always so good. The KFC bao buns are amazing, I wish they weren’t only on the happy hour menu because they are so good. They always come out steaming hot with the nice crunchy crisp on the chicken.
-
10/10 this is my favorite spot in Orlando to grab a bite, talk to my favorite mixologist while ordering the best food you can ask for. Definitely worth every penny!
-
What an outstanding dining experience this turned out to be! Our server Julianna absolutely went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great evening. She was very personable, and had great recommendations! We started with the pork belly buns with were incredible, just the perfect bite! We then shared the crispy tuna rice, which was also really good. We then shared the Hokkaido roll which was light and flavorful. Overall, this is one of our favorite sushi restaurants in Orlando. The atmosphere was very laid-back, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding! We can't wait to be back again real soon!

The dishes are well thought through and intentional with flavors and presentation. Ambience was nice in private seating area. Regular seating is a little loud. Overall experience was very beneficial and definitely worth it for the prices trust me. There are dishes that I think can be the pinnacle of anyone’s experience at Seito. The Distinguished Gentleman 🥩(a signature roll), combining umami and savory in a refined and refreshing presentation. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice🍣, a savory yet fresh pairing that elegantly layers a pristine crunch and chew that melts in your mouth. Finally, The Fries and Caviar 🍟, I believe this dish was the perfect filler between meals that attribute a drop of elegance while still maintaining the addicting qualities of adored crispy fries.

food was so good and the manager Naomi was amazing! can’t wait to come back!
-
very good though the kitchen service was slow. The waiter incredible and the atmosphere enjoyable. A bit on the expensive side.

Sabores delicados y un ambiente maravilloso. Iría repetidas veces
-
Terrible service, got the order wrong. Never checked on us for drinks or more food. Hostess(guy) and the bartenders just cold no smile not welcoming. Never coming back here. What a waste of 200$

I took my wife here as part of our five year wedding anniversary celebrations. This place was exceptional! From the food and service to the ambiance and decor, everything was spectacular. Julia was our waitress. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and history of the location. She had great recommendations and her service was excellent! 5/5 experience Also, try the Spicy tuna crispy rice and Ube Cheesecake. Everything was great but those two were the star of the show for us. And If you like smoked whiskey cocktails, just order the Shogun old fashioned, you won’t regret it.
