“I ordered the specialty Drama Queen roll: spicy tuna, avocado, yellowtail with tempura flakes, jalapeño, black tobiko and spicy kimchee sauce on top. It was fresh and delicious! $16. Also got my usual spicy tuna roll which was good. The service and ambiance were also good. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Kids having birthday party there. Kids items on menu.“

“We eat at Kobe pretty often but especially enjoyed our experience at the Longwood location this evening. The chef was great but we really liked MacKenzie. She was very professional but we felt like she was one of our long lost friends. Will be back again soon.“

“Visited JUJU for their walk-in izakaya service. This has been one of the BEST yakitori we have had in the States. A true gem in Orlando. We had the chicken skin, knee, heart, thigh w/negi and the tsukne. From the kushiyaki section we had the pork jowl, couple of times. All of them were delicious, but our least favorite was the tsukune, it tasted like gyoza filling. Skewers were cooked to perfection and the lemon salt that comes with them, compliments the meat really well. We saw a table next to us eat the seafood platter, we asked for their opinion and decided to get own for ourselves. The oysters had such a delicate texture, it almost felt creamy. I had tried uni couple times before and decided I wasnt a fan. But this uni changed my opinion. It didnt have that super salty fishy flavor at all. It was like eating a piece of butter seafood. The aged fish and the caviar/fish eggs bowl was also outstanding. The Pizza hut drink was such a treat too. I definitely want to visit their sister location next time we’re in Orlando. ごちそうさまでした、とってもおいしかったです！“

“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.“

“Ate lunch here today for the first time and loved it! I have to eat gluten free and they had a bunch of gluten free options. The food tasted great!“

“We celebrated my daughter’s birthday here. It was exquisite. The chef’s choices were amazing. Very pleasing to the palate and the eyes. The team that assisted the chef including the servers made the experience special. Can’t wait to book another experience. Well worth every penny spent!“

“? Ambience, Service, and Food - Wonderful! ?

I decided to grab dinner here prior to attending an event at the Dr. Phillips Center about ten minutes away. There was a 15-20 minute wait before I was notified that my table was ready. The interior is small and intimate with a lovely ambience. Staff were all very friendly and answered all my questions. The food tasted wonderful, and the gyoza was among the best I’ve ever had. If you plan on eating here for dinner on the weekend, I recommend giving yourself plenty of buffer time—both for parking and service.

Did I mention the desserts? I got one of each (mochi and hojicha panda cotta) and both were scrape-up-every-bite good!“

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

“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’ve always ordered food to go from Totoya but we’ve never ate inside the restaurant until today, and the food, atmosphere and service was all just such an INCREDIBLE experience.

The atmosphere was amazing and we thought it was such a cute place, the playlist/music they had going was some of our favorite songs all playing back to back, and Royce was hands down the best, BEST server in the history of any dining experience I’ve ever had.

Royce was so sweet, warm, welcoming, attentive, such a fun and delightful person to chat with and really made us excited about our food, and just phenomenal customer service in every way possible; we can’t say enough good things about him and he is by far what made our dine in experience exceptional! Next time we dine in we definitely want to see if we can be seated at one of his tables again lol.

We haven’t felt that warmly welcomed at a restaurant in so long and that experience alone will definitely have us dine in vs taking food to go from Totoya.
AMAZING experience, will 1,000% come back.“

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

“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.“

“We just found this great little place a few weeks ago and loved it! Amazing sushi and great staff!“

“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.“

“10/10! The Berkwood St Louis Sticky Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful that we found ourselves talking about them for days. The Hamachi Carpaccio was another standout, with the ponzu sauce and kefir lime oil perfectly complementing the yellowtail. We also enjoyed the Garlic Togarashi Edamame and Shrimp Tempura. I loved the Bee My Honey cocktail—it had just the right amount of sweetness for my taste. My fiancé ordered the Kabooki Old Fashioned and liked the mix of ginger syrup and cherry bark vanilla bitters.

The restaurant itself has a contemporary vibe, with low lighting and an intimate atmosphere. The service was great, and we’ll definitely be returning.“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“Delicious food, excellent service, fabulous presentation.“

“I was excited for the all of you can eat based off of the other reviews but the place we went to didn't have it and they were out of tuna. There were also only two servers in the whole place so the service was a bit slow but they were nice and the food was amazing. We got the pork gyoza, veggie spring rolls, crunch roll, super Philadelphia roll, and salmon nigiri.“

“After 15 years living in Japan, this ramen sure tastes really good. Every time I came I really liked it. The starters are simply delicious. Their thaitea is wonderful. Continue as you are. And success. My daughter also loves this place. Very good?. I've been to this place 7 times and my statement above is true. But after today I leave a warning to the owner. Thursday 8pm. Only 1 waiter, and 2 children lost in the kitchen. The ramen taste totally different, no flavor, the fried rice ? horrible. Today's review 1 star.“

“Their food taste pretty good we’ve been coming for awhile. The quality is starting to seem very different from what it used to taste like & prices have increased. You used to be able to have soup & salad with some orders, now it’s either or and the price increased. My wife & I usually buy extra ramen noodles on the side for our meals they are $5 or less I believe, they taste pretty good.“

“muy buen atención y la comida estupenda. a cambiado mucho la verdad estoy muy satisfecha“

“What a find!

I tried Miyako Sushi for lunch today. I got the lunch Sushi and Sashimi Special.

The Sushi pieces weren't really big, but not bad. The Sashimi was cut very large and thick. It also had a California Roll.

The portions were very good for a lunch special.

It was served in a nice stepped wooden tray with Ginger and Wasabi.

It also came with the usual Miso Soup and Ginger Salad.

Everything was excellent.

And the best part? It was only $15 for lunch. I've included pictures so you can see for yourself.

Highly recommended.“

“Ate here for the first time and the food was amazing! I’d never had tonkatsu before so I was pretty excited, I ordered the cheese tonkatsu. Everything was hot and fresh and had really good flavors! The breading was super crispy and the cheese pull was impressive. The portion was fair for the price, id definitely come back to try some of the other menu items.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

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

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

Parking: Cars can easily park here.

Kid-friendliness: The food here is edible by kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“Unique! I wish there were more like it actually, but I'm glad to have found this gem. I give 4 stars because of the missing miso soup... Overall a 5-star place (although I've only been through the drive-thru, never inside) and just one menu item lacking is picky, I'll admit. But it's miso soup, so simple, so classic, how can you not have miso soup?! It's like a burger restaurant not having fries. Please bring back miso!“

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

“Two times dining here and both were amazing food, service and price. Highly recommend this place. Sushi, Udon and hibachi are all great!“

“All the food are the best“

“This is the best sushi in Central Florida! We had the pleasure of dining here and the food is fresh, healthy, and delicious. I would say as good or better quality than Amura. To top it off, the restaurant inside has been renovated, making it a very nice atmosphere for dining in. Chef quality food at a very reasonable price here - and if you prefer take out or delivery, they also offer those options. It's located in Winter Springs Towne Center, so make sure to not walk by this one. Go on in and you likely will meet the Chef or one of the staff members who will describe the menu items in detail. They also offer Thai and noodle options as well as tasty appetizers too.“

“We love this place, not just for the delicious food, but for the fabulous service....( Olivia) is by Far the BEST ...!!!“

“Ordered several sushi rolls, all were outstanding! Kids got rice plays, so much they couldn’t eat it all. Outstanding service, very clean restaurant. Perfect atmosphere. Salmon Ninja Roll, Double Spicy Roll, and Firecracker Roll were our favorites“

“This restaurant the best sushi“

“great food but today I ordered a $16.00 dollar meal with steak and shrimp for lunch was very disappointed got lots of meat but 4 shrimp come on now only 4 shrimp. Great place to eat but when your paying that price you should be getting the goods!!!!!“
