50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista

“Customer service is amazing! We had late reservations and the kids were hungry. They let us check in and took us back as soon as they could. Food is delicious. We would eat here again! Best place yet out of all of the parks. We highly recommend!“

“The flowers and topiaries are amazing“

“Absolutely terrible food and horrible service! Don't bother complaining to the manager!“

“Katsura Grill is in my opinion a hidden gem at Epcot. It is fairly secluded in the Japan pavilion surrounded by a bonsai garden and water features. There is indoor and outdoor seating. While the menu is relatively narrow, if you do like teriyaki and rice dishes that are simple then this place works. I’ve enjoy being outside where there are umbrellas and natural shade under the bamboo forest. Service has been good and expedient. There is not much seating and if it hot or raining then outside is less of an option. Overall, I like this place and often go here while at Epcot.“

“Looking for a quick and filling meal in Disney Springs that won't dent your wallet? Look no more. The YeSake kiosk across from the theater is the place to go. I got the build your own bowl with chicken. The bowls come with a white rice or greens base and choice of protein. Large sharable portion.Toppings and sauces are abundant. The toppings are fresh and flavorful. I opted for the Wasabi ponzu sauce. Added some nice umami to the bowl. If need some fuel to fight the crowds in Disney Springs stop by YeSake.“

“While traveling we enjoyed an early dinner on a Sunday evening. Awesome service and atmosphere of the restaurant and then the food was delicious . We sampled 4 different appetizers and had 2 sushi rolls for our main meal. We would certainly return if we are in the area again.“

“shirley was an excellent server for my family tonight. also, melvin did an oustanding job cooking our food. we had one member of our family who was allergic to scallops-melvin worked around that issue without any difficulty. thanks to all kobe staff for a wonderful evening!“

“Entertainment from Chef for everyone“

“OMG!!!! The best Japanese restaurant ever❤️ special thank you to our waitress Joice. I recommend 👏👏“

“We love it here been coming here since twenty years ago. You can dress up or dress down. Go with your family or for a romantic dinner. It’s just a great authentic Japanese experience and the chefs who cook at the table are amazing and so kind and friendly“

“The food and the other guests at our table were great and the Teppanyaki chef was comedy gold! - If he ever retires from being a chef, he'd make a fortune as a stand up!“

“Recomiendo foods for dine in“

“Chef’s choice sashimi was pretty darn good! Miso sea bass was good too and the buttery sauce it came with was excellent. They should’ve used that sauce with the King Lime roll bc that roll needed some help. Bonbu Tiger roll was surprisingly very good. The hot saki wasn’t great. If they had an actual menu instead of using your phone, it would’ve made it feel much more high end and I probably would’ve ordered a better sake. I was too hungry and didn’t want to look at my phone the whole time. You get 4 brussel sprouts halved on 2 skewers for $5, sad. Seito Sushi by Baldwin Park has the best brussel sprouts.
Omg they also had Toto toilets in the women’s restroom, so great to see that! All restaurants should follow suit!“

“Best sushi I have ever had. The service was friendly, fast and they were super sweet. I recommend the fried shrimp, fried dumplings and cucumber rolls.“

“food was fresh and delicious“

“Love this little gem off of International Drive, Orlando! The atmosphere is very cozy and friendly. The food is amazing! The food presentation makes each experience of dining here something to look forward to. Big shout out to Sara and team for making every visit worthwhile for everyone! We love you guys and we’ll keep returning ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Wholeheartedly recommend Nagoya Sushi and Hibachi ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“100% Japan authentic 🎌🏯🇯🇵🗾“

“RAVE! Who knew Doritos and sushi would taste so good together?! I needed a sushi fix yesterday, and couldn't find a place open for lunch until my neighbor drove by Hand Roll Sushi on the corner of JYP and Menta Street, and texted me she saw the Open sign on. I called, ordered the Crunch Roll, Volcano Roll, and Crabmeat Salad to go. 20 minutes later I picked it up. The Crunch Roll almost didn't make it home, I was devouring it in the car. Everything was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be ordering from them again.“

“We drove 1 1/2 hours just to eat here for a birthday dinner, food was amazing! I would make the drive again easily! I ate teriyaki chicken. jasmine rice & plantains. It was so delicious! All my family members loved it as well, service was ok too“

“atendimento top, os pratos de sushi são sensacionais! o ambiente é magnífico ♥️“

“The sushi was very delicious. It was my first time eating it in a long time and I was very impressed with the quality and the flavor. Great prices and service!! I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great sushi and service . Beautiful view of celebration“

“It is beautiful, cozy, and the owners ae simply great. The chef is really creative, and they also kept some quite traditional dishes from the Japanese gastronomy to let you dive in a delightful experience. Definitely recommend“

“I was looking for a Sushi restaurant near my parents when I was visiting from out of town. Choices in the area for sushi are few and far between. I found them on Google maps and then checked out their ratings there and on another restaurant platform. Nagoya Sushi and Hibachi has pretty good ratings out of 5☆, so we gave them a try. My parents got the lunch special scallop hibachi and they loved it. I had the Paradise roll, with the freshest fish and colorful fish roe on top and a simple yellowtail and scallion roll. I finished off my lunch with both an eel and tuna sushi(nigiri). Besides these menu items, they also do Ramen bowls, udon noodles and teriyaki. They have something for everyone. This is a gem in Davenport, FL.“

“I cannot stress enough how much I love this place. The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is the best in the city. Each dish is crafted to perfection, bursting with flavors that are both unique and delightful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. Whether you're in the mood for a casual meal or a special celebration, this restaurant never disappoints. Every time I dine here, I'm blown away by the quality and creativity of the menu. You simply have to try this place when you're in Orlando. I would give them a 10/10 for everything they make, from appetizers to desserts.“

“We were there this weekend and I absolutely loved the food and service. Location was easy to find and close to our hotel!“

“I had an amazing experience at this sushi restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. Everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Our server, Julia, made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and super helpful with recommendations. Her service was exceptional, and she made us feel very welcome.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place to any sushi lover!“

“This is the first time we visit “plaza del sol”. A few weeks ago a couple of our friends ate at this Asian eatery inside the mall, and were bragging about how good it was; so when we got the chance to stop by, we went straight there to try it out. To say it was fantastic is an understatement.
The service was excellent and the food was incredible. In my opinion, this is one of the best fast food Asian eateries around! It was so good, that my wife and I asked about catering but they unfortunately don’t offer that yet. If you are ever around the “plaza Del sol” area, do not hesitate to try this delicious and friendly eatery, you won’t be disappointed!! We will definitely be back!!“

“Outstanding food ! Highly recommend“

“We were there this weekend and I absolutely loved the food and service. Location was easy to find and close to our hotel!“

“Delicious, flavorful, and authentic food. This along with spectacular service and reasonable prices definitely have made it a new favorite! Highly recommend their Classic Tonkotsu ramen and the mochi ice cream. A little odd for a restaurant to not have a restroom, but everything else is perfect!“

“For this visit, I did the Eat to the Beat package and thought it was a pretty good deal.

So there are 3-tiers that we were able to choose from at this restaurant (with the package we bought). I chose the 2nd option which is, you get an appetizer, a main dish and a dessert and it comes with a drink. For the main course, I had the unagi don (eel bowl). This dish was very flavorful and of course the eel was great. I wish it came with more eel though, which was my only complaint but not a big deal. I also enjoyed my dessert, which was a mango mousse.

Overall, it was nice. The waitresses were so kind and on point and I had a lovely view of the outside lake. Would definitely love to eat here again.“

“Food was fantastic. Service was great. Great value for the price.“

“Great service and food! I thought I left my glasses there but they reassured me they didn’t find anything. I was super upset about it but they were so polite to me and even asked the other employees if they saw them, later found them in the car. But food was amazing and hibachi show cook was super funny and nice.

Kid-friendliness: Took three kids they had a blast!“

“Had the most amazing Burrito sushi tonight. We was talking around the pool about sushi and everyone was raving about this place. As we have never had a sushi Burrito before we just asked the chef to make what he would recommend. To be honest we could not of chosen better, it was fab!“

“Highly recommend Beautiful people great foods“

“Excellent place, delicious food, nice atmosphere, spectacular view!
We were looking for a place for our Christmas dinner and we found it, we achieved our goal of eating well and watching the Disney fireworks from the rooftop, perfect for the night!
The girl who helped us made some mistakes but the girl at the reception (Heidy) treated us incredibly, very attentive, cordial and friendly score 100 for the reception and the place!

Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator.“

“I have been eating here for years. It is such a chill spot to grab some hot fresh hibachi and AMAZING SUSHI! The quality of food is always on point and the owners/workers are always welcoming with smiling faces. So if you’re looking for some fresh/high quality/affordable sushi or hibachi this is your spot!“

“About 10 years ago I wanted to jump in the sushi wagon and I just couldn't. My parents, and husband would come and I kept wanting and to try. This place is it. I now love sushi and always come here. Have never had an upset Belly, serves is always great, good is fresh...“

“Service was quick and friendly, pricing on par with similar establishments.
Food was good but not going to change your life.
The inside is a bit bland with a broken speaker crackling in the ceiling. Don't let the appearance fool you though. Everyone there was attentive and prompt, we were happy with the food, felt comfortable going in just shorts and tshirts, and would go back if in the area.“

“Move over melting pot or any other restaurant similar in style. Gyu-Kaku is EXCELLENT! They serve the highest quality meats that I've ever seen, and they're seasoned to perfection! They're ambience is perfect for date night, or stopping in after a long day at the parks. Would highly recommend this place! freaking 10/10. can't wait for next time“

“Cheap option for Brazilians who want to save money. I managed to share a "bento" for 2 easily.

The food is tasty.

I recommend buying drinks from the soda machine because they put a lot of ice in these restaurants.

It's in the outlet's food court.“

“Had a great dinner and entertainment experience. The chef was awesome his name Go our server Thu was very pleasant and made sure we had everything service with a great big smile!!!! Thank you for making it so great!! We’ll be back soon with even more family members ?“

“Amazing experience the chefs selection was filled with fresh and delicious sushi, sashimi, smoked salmon and it had incredible dessert to go with it. The tropical passion drink was a sweet delicacy I couldn’t get enough of, can’t wait to come here again! Recommend to all sea food lovers, Brazilian service at its best.“

“Great food, great atmosphere!“

“This is my go-to stop when I go to the International Drive Outlet Premium. The food is always fresh and good. The service is very good, the prices are fair, and the drinks are refillable (except the lemonades). I highly recommend this place.“

“Dining at the Mikado was such a pleasant experience. We we're at the world center for our anniversary.. the food was so good with very little OIL used in the cooking process. It was much quieter than many hibachi style restaurants. I highly recommend their Old Fashion. We chose the fillet mignon and shrimp with the fried rice and it was great. Also, we liked that we could share a meal for 15 more dollars and we each received a salad and soup and our portions were plentiful for us. A great experience..“

“A nice little express sushi. Very friendly staff. Great customer service. Fish was okay by the local standards and the price was right. They made the orders quick. Have a feeling some components were prepared in advance. Tasted good though. Not a place for a real sushi head, per se, but not bad either. It's like sushi fast food. Without the conveyor belt. Thus the name. We enjoyed it. Recommended.“

“One of my favorite sushi spots!😊 quick service. I am unnecessarily picky with sushi, Seito Sand Lake met all of my expectations. I will get the Sweetheart roll every time!“

“Food was good. Portion sizes were mixed. Ordered the dragon roll and wasn't too pleased with the freshness of the jumbo prawn. It was really overly fishy tasting. Portion was generous though. The short rib bowl was really yummy but the portion was rather on the slim side. Be careful it's spicy. We ordered the sauce on the side and we were glad we did. The wakame salad was super yummy and very generous. My wife and I were watching one of the TV screens in front of us (not at the bar), and one of the bartenders came by, looked at us, then changed the channel to a golf match and walked away. We were literally talking about what was on the screen, when blip... golf. The atmosphere is very high end but the type of music, volume and all the TV screens gives it more of a hotel bar feel. Considering this is a popular hotel in the tourist area and plenty of kids abound, it didn't give me the family feel either. Likely going to be a one timer for us.“
