50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista

“Not a bad spot at all in Epcot but Le Cellier is still number one for me. We shared the $65 choose one from each section option and then I opted to do an additional order of otoro tuna because I’ve always wanted to try it and that was incredible. It was as good as I’ve always been told it was. The $65 option also comes with any non alcoholic drink that’s under $20 and we opted for the melon baller with popping boba. It was really sweet but really delicious especially if you love Japanese melon soda which I do. The chicken kurage appetizer was just as good as the ones I’ve had in Japan but we got the tartar on the side because the gf hates mayo. We both said that the clam miso was probably the best miso soup we’ve both ever had. I added 1 side of the grilled beef yakitori to try that and that was very high quality as well. I loved the subtle sweetness and moistness of the mango cake as that was the dessert we chose for the $65 option. Really, the only thing that disappointed was the beef and vegetable udon dish. There was really nothing special about it, the steak was a very cheap cut (it was definitely not the same quality as the beef on the skewer) and it just tasted like any other hibachi plate you’d get at any other hibachi place that is a lot cheaper.“

“If I could only pick one park to visit, this would be it. EPCOT is the BEST!“

“Last night at Disney Springs, my dad wasn’t feeling well. We stopped at the window to ask for water and the sweet girl behind the counter rushed to not only get him water but to ask repeatedly if he was OK. She even came out to check on him a little while later to see if there was anything else that she could do. She was very comforting and kind and that means so much in today’s times. She knew that he was feeling low on his blood sugar and went next-door and even got him ice cream on her own. Just a very nice gesture from a stranger. Thank you!“

“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!“

“Kimonos is a fun spot if you're looking for an energetic night out, but it wasn't quite the experience I expected for a relaxed dinner. Karaoke begins at 9:30 p.m., and once it gets going, the restaurant becomes quite loud. If you're hoping for a quiet evening or an intimate conversation, this probably isn't the best choice. However, if you're with a large group celebrating or just looking for a lively atmosphere, it's a great fit.

The highlights of the meal were the Legends cocktail and the Crispy Pan Seared Rice with spicy tuna and avocado. The crispy rice had great texture and flavor, and the cocktail was well-balanced and enjoyable.

Overall, I'd recommend Kimonos for the food and the fun atmosphere, but not if you're looking for a quiet, romantic dinner“

“The Japan Pavilion is always my favorite to visit! Not only do I think it’s decorated the best out all the other countries, the shopping, food, and service is top-tier! The sushi is always made fresh and the RICE is among best rice I’ve ever had. It was not mushy or undercooked. Every rice grain was perfectly cooked and sticky but in a good way. I personally thought they gave generous portion size! I think a lot of the other reviews people forget that at Epcot, you’re supposed to “eat around the world” and eat a lot of small plates. If you desire a larger portion, try any sit-down restaurant in any country pavilion. I love Katsura Grill and love the little pathway up on the hill. Highly recommend!!“

“Sushi nota 10 e atendimento nota 100000 super recomendooo ❤️“

“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!“

“We had a great experience while here on Spring Break. Joel “Is Blowing Up” our chef was hilarious and kept the energy up the entire time he cooked for us. We had two young kids with us and sat with another family that had 4 children and we were all near tears of laughter the entire time! Thank you for a GREAT experience!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Recomiendo foods for dine in“

“food was fresh and delicious“

“I went with my partner to eat today and we had such a lovely experience. The place is beautiful we didn’t know about it before, but we’re so glad we found it. The food was delicious, everything we tried was really good.

Our server, Cristian, was very attentive and kind. He took the time to explain the menu and gave great recommendations, which I really appreciated since I can be a bit picky with food. His service made our experience even better.

We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We visited for the first time on a late Friday night and had a wonderful experience. We ordered several skewers and sashimi sets, all of which were fresh and delicious. We particularly enjoyed the pot of hot green tea served on a burner. The highlight of the evening was the service; our server, Jessica, was amazing! She was very attentive and took great care of us. With the kitchen open late and late-night happy-hour drinks, Oza Izakaya has become one of our top choices for a return visit. Thank you!“

“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.“

“Kenny the cook was so funny, food was very generous and tasted great. Highly recommend this restaurant. I have been to other locations but this one is the best!! Keep up the great work.“

“100% Japan authentic 🎌🏯🇯🇵🗾“

“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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I used to visit a with my family when this was Oishi. We loved it then, but it is even better now! The presentation of the sushi is so nice and the nigiri and sashimi slices are thick. All of our food tasted so fresh and of great quality. Service was friendly and attentive. The decor is chic and modern. It is a next level sushi dining experience.“

“Great sushi and service . Beautiful view of celebration“

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

“This is my favorite sushi spot in Orlando. The service is good, but the rolls are on another level—perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of rice and top-quality fish. If you know sushi, you’ll appreciate how every bite exceeds expectations. A place that never disappoints.“

“My first experience was amaizing, I highly recommend this place if you want to try very exclusive and delicious carpaccios, nigiri and more. The environment was chill and Renato’s attention was great. I will definitely be back with my friends 💕“

“Super recomendo. Excelente atendimento e comida saborosa. Atendende Gabriela e Aguines super atenciosas e simpáticas. Local aconchegante e familiar.“

“Food was delicious!! Great service and atmosphere, the price for all you can eat is totally worth it.“

“Absolutely the best Khao Soi ramen you’re gonna find in Orlando! The people that own and run are so nice and friendly, and they hand make their noodles from scratch! We absolutely love this place.“

“Our server was Jojo and she was amazing! She was friendly and she tried helping me with my ramen dish if it was available or not. The atmosphere was very calming too! The food was great! I ordered chicken karaage and the lunch special with the oodle ramen (I forgot the name) and a side of gyoza. 10/10!“

“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“

“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.“

“the best Japanese street food in the area .“

“Outstanding food ! Highly recommend“

“One of my favorite Japanese restaurants! The food is excellent and reminds me a lot of the all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in Brazil. The salmon is always very fresh, and everything is well prepared. The service is also great — the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes the experience even better. Five stars for everything: food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommended!“

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

“100000/10 fresh made sushi! Best food truck in Food Truck Heaven . We got the following rolls: Florida, Fire Call Philadelphia and Dragon and the homemade spicy sauce was delicious! Highly recommended. Owner is so attentive and friendly! Love sushi!!!!! Come visit when in Florida“

“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.“

“We had excellent sushi here with almost no wait. We strongly recommend the sushi rolls - Flaming K was an awesome salmon and avocado roll; super volcano is excellent if you like Kani salad on your roll. Fresh fish with generous portions. Our server, Lexi, was timely and courteous.“

“Absolutely magnificent!
Very delicious sushi. I got the Green Dragon Roll which blew me away I had to let everyone on staff know how well they did. Very lovely service and attentive when taking your order. I come here every now and then with my Mom, she enjoys the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box with fried rice. They did well in keeping the broccoli out for her allergy. Always memorable flavors and great staff! Since it is located in the food court I can't guarantee the same experience twice.“

“I thank you for your service. I’ve been buying here for a while and DoorDash been bringing me the food like it’s crazy. Let me tell you the food is good. It’s amazing it taste great. I love it. I love this place a lot. I love it better than McDonald’s Burger King, or Wendy’s believe it or not or Cipole let’s put it all together so people that are talking shit about the sauce that’s crazy cause it all taste good and if you put it all together is amazing 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for your food and I’ll keep buying that’s a mess people gotta try. It first is amazing.😀🤭🙏“

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

“Sushi Mizu is a solid spot if you’re looking for good sushi in a relaxed, low-key atmosphere.
The food was definitely the highlight. Fish tasted fresh, rolls were well put together, and everything came out looking clean and appetizing. You can tell they care about consistency, and that goes a long way with sushi. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy.
The atmosphere is nice, not overly fancy but comfortable. It’s the kind of place you can go for a casual dinner or even a chill date without feeling out of place.
Service was good overall—friendly and attentive—but there were a couple small delays here and there. Nothing major, just enough to notice.
Only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is because it didn’t completely blow me away, but it’s still a place I’d come back to without hesitation.
Overall, good food, good vibe, and definitely worth checking out.“

“Came here during our annual family Florida trip. As I was walking by I saw that this place has Bento Boxes, so I was intrigued. I got the chicken bento box and a couple of chicken egg rolls to try on the side, my wife got the steak bento box. It was good, much better than I was expecting! And the value for money is good too, it's not your typical overpriced mall food that you can just make at home.“

“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“

“Deborah was amazing! Thank you for being so helpful and kindly explaining the menu. Thank you for your recommendations as well. The food was very good! The rice in the sushi was a bit hard and stale but I did come at 8pm. Maybe the rice had been sitting there for a long time. I will come again but earlier :)“

“Great portions! The rice alone could serve 2 people. We ordered 2 sushi rolls to share, and with the rice, 3 people were able to eat. The food was fresh and tasted great. I’ll definitely be trying more dishes soon. I’ve tried many different sushi restaurants, and this is by far one of the best! I ordered takeout, and it was ready in about 15–20 minutes.“

“The tempura bana and ice cream for dessert was great and I had never tried a banana, kiwi, strawberry roll before. It was delicious l. Quaint restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.
Food came out quickly and was fantastic!
Will definitely return when I'm back in the area!“

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

“I love Sarku! I ate it for the first time in the outlet mall this past week. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering it again later in the week. The chicken teriyaki is outstanding! I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Keep making that good food Sarku! 💕💕💕“

“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!“
