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!!!“

“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“

“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 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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“Super super fresh fish. You can see the chunks of fish in the rolls. Not chopped into tiny pieces and mixed with filler tempura flakes like other places. The tuna was a bright pink and was my favorite. Great flavors. Simply menu (not a great drink selection) but the freshness of the food made it great.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

“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.“

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

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

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

“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 Japanese restaurant, with great sushi rolls. Every bite we took had its great flavors. Salmon hibachi was great with perfectly cooked salmon.
Other rolls we ordered had very good flavors. Location in particular was great, by the lake, if you want to have seat by the window, better to call them and reserve a table ahead of time, it’s worth the scenery!“

“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.“

“My husband surprised me with dinner at Edo Boy for my birthday, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Orlando.

We did the Baller Set omakase, and every course felt like a work of art. The quality of the fish was exceptional some of the freshest sushi I’ve ever had and each bite was carefully crafted with flavors that were both creative and perfectly balanced.

One thing I loved was that the experience felt fun and interactive. Instead of a traditional seated omakase, we stood at the sushi counter, which made it feel more casual, social, and engaging. Watching the chefs prepare each course right in front of us added so much to the experience and gave us a chance to appreciate the skill and attention to detail behind every bite.

Some of my favorites were the Toro & Caviar, Salmon Crunch, XO Hamachi, OG Smash, and the incredible seared nigiri. The combination of bluefin tuna, uni, caviar, truffle, and other premium ingredients was absolutely amazing without ever feeling overdone. Every course had its own personality, and somehow each one seemed better than the last.

The atmosphere was intimate, energetic, and unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Orlando. My husband and I found ourselves talking about each course long after we ate it, trying to decide which was our favorite.

If you’re a sushi lover or looking for a unique spot to celebrate a special occasion, Edo Boy is absolutely worth it. Between the incredible fish, creative preparations, and interactive standing omakase experience, it was the perfect birthday dinner.“

“We went her for my daughter's graduation night from UCF. It was a 10 pm reservation. The menu has excellent selection. We tried many items and all were delicious. The service was great and so was the atmosphere. It was a little cold in the restaurant, but maybe that's to keep the sushi chill. We loved it and will visit again.“

“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 😊“

“Great food and environment“

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

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“I’m impressed! I ordered through Uber Eats. I ordered mega pork ramen and Oreo Wow with black sugar boba. Everything was sooo delicious! The ramen broth has peanut notes in it which is amazing and unique for a pork ramen. And they add bean sprouts! I recommend adding their spicy sauce. Will order again!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“It’s a five star review with only four stars for food service and atmosphere because it’s about a 4 1/2 star five stars to me. It has to be really off the chart incredible. However, hibachi express did not disappoint. Not only did I walk in and order I was attended to immediately, and my walk-in order was done shockingly fast during their busy dinner hour. I would highly recommend eating here for express sushi and I saw the hibachi looks really good too.“

“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!“

“Good food, I had the chicken hibachi, it was good, was it Benihana, no, but for the price point is was fantastic. Under 11 dollars with fried rice and white sauce too. Plenty of food to fill you up too. I don't know why anyone would no give this restaurant 5 stars. For the price point, amount of food and quality it is on point.“

“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.“

“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“
