50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Altamonte Springs

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

“Hands down the best sushi in the area. Particularly if you splurge for some of the pricier shashimi, it is quite the treat! One of the few places I've seen serve uni too, though I think it's not always on the menu. Beautiful interior though the space is a bit cramped. The few times I've done dine-in the service was excellent (I go 2-3 times a month for takeout) and the food quality is always very consistent. I haven't been able to pry myself from the sushi yet to try, but they also have a full habachi menu if that's more your thing.“

“The food at Sarku Japan is very good, especially if you're a fan of fresh hibachi-style dishes. The flavors are satisfying, and the portions are generous for the price. However, the location being inside Altamonte Mall is a bit of a drawback. You have to order from the food court and eat at the shared mall seating area, which can sometimes be crowded or lack the ambiance of a standalone restaurant. Despite this, the quality of the food makes it worth it, and it's a solid choice if you're at the mall and looking for a tasty meal.“

“Amazing sushi and food all around“

“Incredible place with 5 star food and The artwork on the walls is so inspiring and the artist Sabien was sharing his art in house today. What a special place!!!! We will be back repeatedly and are forever thankful for your event on July 7th Super hero’s exist in many different ways. Thank you for this!!!!“

“What a unique restaurant! Awesome food, great service and a very cool vibe! Thanks Chef Niko!“

“We have been going to Kobe Steakhouse for several years. Each time we go it has been a great experience. The food is wonderful and the staff are amazing. For the past 20 years we have requested Chef Fuji. He is so fun and really engages with everyone. Chef Fuji always gives us a 5 star experience! I can't leave a review without also mentioning a server who we almost always get, Kevin. He does such a wonderful job and always makes us laugh. Tonight was our sons 21st birthday and the staff, as always, made it a wonderful memory. I can't recommend Kobe Steakhouse enough.“

“We had a nice dinner here! It is cute and romantic. The noodles are sooo tender and you can tell they pay attention to high quality ingredients.

UPDATE 2026: im back to update my review! Actually I thought the food was even better than the first time we came, they've clearly been improving their menu. We really enjoyed our dinner, deliiicious! We got the fried chicken, crab salad, and i had the tempura shrimp udon soup. All of them were so good I finished my whole plate! Definitely coming back“

“We came here because of the positive celiac safe ratings and we’re not disappointed! The outside is very deceiving because it is small and not fancy but inside is quaint and minimalist but cute. They serve only bowls but the options are extensive. They are very well versed in food allergies and sensitivities, which was a relief as we have a family member with celiac disease and unable to eat dairy and soy as well. The cashier checked with the chef several times to ensure the ingredients met their restrictions and assured us that all precautions would be used to avoid cross contamination (separate prep area, glove change, etc). The portions were huge and they were delicious! The Korean fried chicken was good but very sweet, so be aware of that. The beef was so good! Cooked perfectly and very flavorful! Beware that parking is very challenging as they share a tiny lot with a cross fit and other businesses. We got lucky to get the only handicapped spot for my mom otherwise there was no parking. Definitely recommend to come here and we’ll be back to try more options!“

“Highly recommend Omo, great atmosphere and fantastic food!“

“Great tasting fresh sushi. Server was so nice, always attentive but allowing space. Loved the background music , very lounge/relaxing.“

“Was incredible. The cheezus is a must. The spice from the bomb that was added into my Ramen made it just right for me(if you enjoy spicy) The shishito peppers accompanied the ramen perfectly. Our server Brandon was amazing and attentive, fun guy! All around, I highly recommend this place.“

“Delicious food, excellent service, fabulous presentation.“

“Every bite was so delicious. You can choose to warm up your food on the provided hot plate. The breading on the tuna was light. The potato salad was amazing. The Hokkaido rice and barley tasted high quality. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. Service was extremely pleasant as well. I'll be back for sure... Probably will get the double Maguro set next time.“

“We stopped by last night for the first time for dinner. Food was amazing and the service was excellent. Kudos! Keep up the good work! 👍“

“What an experience — from the moment we arrived until we walked out it was special. Every team member. Every bite. Every visual. It wasn’t something a picture could capture or words can describe adequately but you had me at hello and brought it home with Pink Floyd and Dali.

I would/will go again.“

“So many options for sushi rolls! We ended up getting four of them and every single one was delicious. The fish was great quality, so fresh and great flavor. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Despite obviously being really busy with both in-store customers and to-go orders, they took care of everyone! Also highly recommend the spicy edamame!“

“Had the hibachi chicken bento box yesterday in a nice, clean place.Great food!Will definitely be back“

“Went to Mills Market and got overwhelmed on what to eat or what to get with so many different options

Able to try a few things at unigirl. Love onigiri and they have a great selection of them.

But don't miss out on their desserts- really great egg custard (Tamago purin) and mango Panna Cotta.

The server was helpful for people who are not familiar with the menu and explained everything.

Can't wait to come back.“

“Tried this place after my nail appointment per suggestion and they did not disappoint! From walking in, although they weren’t busy yet, the staff was very cheerful and polite while answering me and my friend’s questions and provided great suggestions. Even taking it to go, the packaging was perfect 👌🏾. Very flavorful and fresh ingredients will definitely be going back to try our next dish.“

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

“A very elegant place with a beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to stay. The food is quite good, the drinks are well crafted, and the service is excellent. Although it’s a bit expensive for what is served, since they are tapas, the overall experience makes up for it. It’s perfect for a romantic dinner with your partner or for sharing a lovely evening with friends.“

“Just went this evening. My son's 21st birthday. The food was superb, the portions were large enough to prevent us going to a planned dessert stop afterwards. Very reasonable price too. definitely going on our regular outings list. Thanks“

“First time there yesterday and the service and food were amazing. Love the all you can eat deal!!!“

“Love it! Best lunch special around! Fresh Sushi and wonderful owners.“

“Crazy good sashimi! At first glance, it might appear pricey, but you will never find an experience like this for this price anywhere else. Everything in the menu is exceptional and by far the best I've ever had. If I could, I would go here everyday.

The service is also amazing, they're always nice, attentive and caring. I also love that this place doesn't have an overly-sophisticated vibe; it's very relaxed and chill. No need to dress up.“

“Best sushi in town. Their garlic roll is phenomenal and there is none other like it. I have looked. Any choice from the menu is a good choice.“

“Great experience overall. The food was exceptionally fresh, well-presented, and full of authentic flavor. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the atmosphere was clean, modern, and inviting. A reliable spot for quality Japanese cuisine—highly recommended.“

“Good food in a casual atmosphere!“

“This place was stunning, the food was beyond amazing. The service was impeccable, they explained every dish, where it was sourced and they mindfulness behind the preparation. This is a wonderful experience in Orlando, 10/10 recommended.“

“Great food and environment“

“Their spicy tuna roll was the best I have ever tasted. The staff was phenomenal, very attentive and friendly. The new Winter Park location is awesome, I will definitely be back 😊“

“This place never disappoints. My wife and I have been coming here for quite some time, and every visit has been consistently great. The portions are generous, and the food is always excellent.

On our last visit, I ordered one of the special meals that came with spring rolls. We completely forgot about them when we received our food and sat down. About ten minutes later, one of the gentlemen working there came over to our table in the food court and brought them to us. That level of honesty and customer service is hard to find these days, and it truly meant a lot.

Moments like that are exactly why we will always continue to come back. It’s not just about how good the food tastes, it’s about the people and the service as well.“

“I loved him literally, I went because I read very good comments and I was surprised because they prepared sushi as they do in my country just for me. I really loved that they did that, now I will go often because it is difficult to find such a place. Both the chefs and the waitress were very kind, they earned a new client ❤️“

“Great sushi and atmosphere without hurting your wallet. You can tell the ingredients are always fresh. Definitely a must try if you love sushi!“

“Looooove this place!!!!! Great food, quiet spot, amazing BOBA!!! They not only had ramen but they also have hibachi and is my top favorite!
They have also a water station but they don’t serve sodas.
Everyone respect the quiet time when you’re eating there.
I eat here at least once a month. Love it“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“This was by far the most impressive dining experience I’ve ever had. Fabulous food, amazing people.“

“Tori Tori is by far the best upscale bar I’ve visited. The drink menu offers classic cocktails, but has a fabulous list of unique, in house, created mixes that were phenomenal. Dalton was our Bartender and he was friendly and intuitive about which drinks to recommend. The São Paulo was an indescribably different and delicious beverage. If you like coconut, the Shinobi was also bomb and very popular amongst the crowd. Matthew let us try a seasonal punch that was festive and yummy, and they both helped us decide on snacks, which were to die for. Portions are small, so order multiples if you’re hungry. The Chimichuri steak skewers and Curry Meatballs were everything. Before we left, Greg introduced himself and was friendly and funny and helped top off a wonderful experience. You can tell this space is well managed and that the bartenders enjoy each other and the work they do. 20/10, a must if you’re looking for cocktails that will blow your mind.“

“Great service Food was very good And the value was excellent“

“Boku Sushi Maitland is my new favorite sushi place. I tried two rolls, Drama Queen and Foxy Lady. My husband had the Beef Wagyu. Our friend had the curry and EVERYTHING was delicious!!! Even the miso soup was very tasty and fresh. Ben our server was informative, personable and attentive. We spoke with Miller, he gave us more interesting information about the restaurant and asked about us and where we were from. Highly recommend!! Loved the food and the eperience!!!“

“I recently visited this ramen spot and was thoroughly impressed! As a fan of bold flavors, I tried both the Tantan Ramen and the Spicy Miso Ramen and they did not disappoint. The Tantan was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice and nuttiness. The ground meat and sesame flavors were spot on, making every bite super satisfying. The Spicy Miso was equally amazing deep, umami-packed broth with a kick that warms you up without overwhelming the palate. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the toppings were fresh and generous. Service was friendly and fast, and the atmosphere was cozy but lively. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Tried the thai basil fried rice bowl with beef along with spinach and cheese eggrolls for the first time today, and it was a really pleasant surprise. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the flavors were well-balanced without being overwhelming. I appreciate Diana taking the time to help build something that actually fit what I was craving.

The service was quick and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel smooth. Prices felt fair for the quality, and the bowl left me full without feeling heavy.

Overall, a great first visit — I’d definitely go back to try a different combination next time.“

“Nico is truly exceptional, and Mosonori is incredibly lucky to have him. He always recognizes returning guests, greets them with genuine warmth, and takes the time to ask how they’ve been. His consistency, kindness, and attention to detail make every visit feel personal and memorable.

On top of that, the hand rolls here are some of my absolute favorites — each one presented individually, perfectly fresh, and at the ideal moment. That level of care, paired with Nico’s hospitality, is a huge part of why I continue to return.“

“Great lunch specials and service. We had a party of 11 for lunch and Kiko’s delivered on fresh, tasty and beautiful sushi, rolls and bento boxes! Everyone was pleased and looking forward to returning.“

“Delicious food!! Wagyu beef dumplings the best!! Bento bulgogi box excellent!! Our favorite place“

“Our go to for sushi in the Lake Nona area! Definetly the best around Lake Nona!“

“Great food and place! Best ramen 🍜 I’ve ever had ☺️“

“I've been eating here for at least fifteen years, I found this spot as a teen. It's one of my fav hibachi spots that's affordable. The other day I placed an order for pick up and they gave me fried oreos :) It made my day, and my sons. Thank you guys :)“
