50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Maitland

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious food, excellent service, fabulous presentation.“

“The sushi here was great! I tried the bubble roll and New York roll. I liked the bubble roll a lot, especially the crispy wontons! I had never seen a sushi roll with capers and red onions, so I was very intrigued to try it. It was very tasty, I liked that combination especially with the salmon and cream cheese. Bagels and lox in a roll essentially! The seaweed salad was also good. The prices here were very reasonable, especially moving form Colorado, I’ve noticed some prices here are more expensive. This is the closest I’ve gotten to CO prices.“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“Tried Zaru for the first time and it was a fantastic time. The experience and flavors were very representative and authentic to Japan. We had one of their cold and hot udons and the eggplant and they were all delicious. The bonus was they had mountain yam, which many udon places don't even offer. The staff was also very attentive and amazing.

Will definitely be back in the future!“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Gyukatsu Rose!!! The quality of the beef was outstanding, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The presentation was beautiful, and the interactive grilling experience made the meal even more enjoyable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. Every bite was delicious, and the portions were satisfying. I would definitely recommend Gyukatsu Rose to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable dining experience. Can't wait to come back!!!“

“Edoboy is such a cool and unique sushi experience! Having traveled to Japan within the last few years, I can honestly say that some of the sushi we had here was even better than what I had overseas. Everything was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

The standing sushi bar concept makes the whole experience even more fun and memorable. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time, then plan to stand outside in line until your time slot.

Such a neat concept and easily some of the most delicious sushi you'll ever have. If you're a sushi lover, Edoboy is an absolute must!“

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

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

“One of my favorite things I’ve eaten all year! One bite of the salmon-miso onigiri and I was transported back to memories of my trip to Tokyo. UniGirl opens at noon, selling a variety of onigiri flavors, a delicious keylime tart, and very cute Shiba Inu-themed merchandise. It’s themed like a Japanese convenience store, and it’s so fun to watch the onigiri be prepared and packaged. Highly recommended for authentic Japanese onigiri! 🍙“

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

“We had such a great experience last night! We came in for our anniversary dinner and decided to try the Magical Dining menu. The service was amazing from the moment we walked in. Everyone was super attentive, and I loved that all of the servers seemed to help out with every table. Empty plates and glasses were cleared right away and we never felt like we were waiting around for anything.

We had the Old Fashioned and Dirty Martini and both were perfect. Everything we ate was delicious, but the quality of the fish really stood out, it was easily a 10/10. The Wagyu carpaccio was probably one of our favorites and was seriously to die for.

Overall, we had an amazing anniversary dinner and really enjoyed everything we tried. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“The experience was as amazing as the food. We did the premium experience for $45 and it’s 100% worth it. Will be recommending this place to my friends and family!

Renato was such a lovely server and only recommended the best in the menu (everything!)

We will be back for sure:)“

“This review is long overdue, as I dined at Sorekara quite some time ago. Even then, it was clear that something special was happening here. The experience was thoughtful, creative, and executed at an incredibly high level from start to finish.

I remember leaving feeling certain that recognition would follow, so it’s no surprise to see Sorekara now holding two Michelin stars. It’s well deserved. I’m thrilled to see they are still going strong and continuing to receive the recognition they earned. A truly memorable dining experience.“

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

“Really great sushi for SUPER reasonable prices. I’m not the greatest connoisseur of sushi and am trying to broaden my pallet and this is a low risk, low cost, very chill & casual place to take a chance on something new. A true mom & pop shop“

“We had such a wonderful experience thanks to our server, Jojo! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and quick with everything we needed. My friend and I arrived pretty late, just an hour before closing, but Jojo never made us feel rushed. She was just as welcoming and attentive as if we had arrived earlier in the day, which we really appreciated!

She made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal, and when we asked for food recommendations, she took the time to walk us through the different options and help us decide.

The food was also absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the Dan Dan Noodles and Shishito Peppers, both were fantastic!

What really stood out was how genuine, thoughtful, and helpful Jojo was. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. Between the amazing food and Jojo’s wonderful hospitality, we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Thank you, Jojo!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

“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!“

“Visited UMA and had the chicken ramen and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful, and everything was cooked to perfection. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend if you're in Orlando!“

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

“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.“

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

“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 😊“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this place! Everything was so good. We had the Korean ramen, chicken bento box, and fried dumplings to start, and every single thing was delicious. The restaurant was super clean, great atmosphere, and the service was amazing. Great food, great experience we’ll definitely be back!“

“This was my first time here, and I had such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor.
A special thank you to the lovely young lady who helped me. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She listened carefully to what I wanted and recommended exactly what I needed. She clearly knows the menu very well. Her kindness and wonderful service with tasty food truly made my evening. ❤🙏 I will definitely be back!“

“I love the environment and the food. The waiters are kind and friendly. The food is so authentic! This is the birthday anniversary friends spot!“

“I LOVE this place! Small and intimate environment that’s very warm and inviting. The staff are amazing, super friendly and professional and always ensure you have a great experience. Their oysters are amazing (and $3 a pop during happy hour) and served with their white soy… perfection. The menu is an unexpected fusion of asian inspired plates, and the variety guarantees you’ll find something to love no matter your mood. Above all else though, their DAILY happy hour from 3-7 is superb and keeps me coming back for more. If you haven’t been here you’re truly missing out. Truly a new hidden gem in my neighborhood.“

“Went to Sushi Island for a friend’s birthday last night and had a really nice time! The servers were so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, the prices are GREAT, and the overall ambiance of the place was really nice. I will definitely be going back :)“

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

“I was excited to eat here after seeing positive reviews of the gluten free options. Sadly most of their rolls contain gluten. It would be helpful if gluten free options were notated on the online menu. The service was great, the employees made an effort to accommodate a gluten free roll for me. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal. Overall I had a good experience“

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

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

“Have eaten here many times and am always very happy with the experience. One of my favorite places to bring friends.

With the Handroll format, it’s hard to cover up poor quality fish, as there are no filler ingredients such as cream cheese, avocado etc. to cover things up. While I love those ingredients, they don’t let the fish shine. The handroll format, much like nigiri and sashimi, truly honors the fish you are eating. Each roll is so fresh, with crispy nori and delicately prepared quality fish. I generally don’t care for nori, but at Mosonori, I LOVE it. The freshness really does matter. The flavors in each roll are perfectly balanced, in my opinion most don’t even need any additional soy sauce.

I’ve eaten at quite a few other handroll spots across the country that are doing the same kind of dining experience, and none have come even close to Mosonori.

The handroll sets offer great value for impressive, quality fish at reasonable prices. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

The vibe is calm and quiet, so it is probably best to be a smaller party looking for a relaxed evening. However, it is still suitable for both a quick chill lunch, or a nice dinner out with your partner and/or friends. I have shown up in a baseball cap+ shorts and tee, but also in dress attire, and have never felt out of place.“

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

“Unwavering consistency and value! I’ve been coming here since they opened and always get the $10.95 Lunch Special Ramen with Shrimp (no bean sprouts). It is ALWAYS PERFECT. The shrimp are blistered perfectly, the ramen noodles are the ideal texture, the broth is light yet flavorful, the egg is jammy and full of umami, the ginger , bamboo, corn and green onions tie the thing together. The service is wonderful, quick, and friendly. The only thing I’m confused about is why there isn’t a line out the door every day!
Seriously, every other place charges 20$ just to mention “ramen.” Here, you can get a perfect bowl of ramen for 11 bucks! By the way, the lunch special is 10:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday.“

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

“The food and service was great!“

“Just tried for first time. I hot the teriyaki bento box. The food was tasty, light, not greasy and flavorful. I felt like I made a surprisingly healthy choice without meaning to and Id order it again. I also had the rose black tea boba 25% and it actually was 25% just a touch of sweetness like I like it. I was very impressed overall“
