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“

“I’d been searching for Japanese Breakfast ever since visiting Japan, and it just didn’t exist in Orlando. Until now! The Japanese breakfast set was delicious and presented so beautifully, even with a little hidden Mickey! The service was great, Violet was so kind and enjoyable. The atmosphere was a little busy because it was a Saturday morning, and yes they do an hour for you to eat, but if you arrive on time it’s not a hurry, I didn’t feel rushed at all. I would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“If you are looking for a sushi restaurant with cozy vibes and delicious food, this is 100% the place to visit. The staff is the nicest in the area and everything we ordered was amazing. Please show this restaurant some love! 10/10 would recommend!! I am definitely coming here again.“

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

“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.“

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

“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.“

“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.“

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

“The service was excellent and the food came out very quickly. The food was delicious and I’d definitely recommend giving them a try! The interior is beautiful, clean, and spacious. Staff were kind, helpful, and always smiling. When I’m back in the area I will stop by again for sure!“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

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

“A very elegant place with a beautiful atmosphere that makes you want to stay. The food is quite good, the drinks are well crafted, and the service is excellent. Although it’s a bit expensive for what is served, since they are tapas, the overall experience makes up for it. It’s perfect for a romantic dinner with your partner or for sharing a lovely evening with friends.“

“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.“

“Hands down the best sushi in the area. Particularly if you splurge for some of the pricier shashimi, it is quite the treat! One of the few places I've seen serve uni too, though I think it's not always on the menu. Beautiful interior though the space is a bit cramped. The few times I've done dine-in the service was excellent (I go 2-3 times a month for takeout) and the food quality is always very consistent. I haven't been able to pry myself from the sushi yet to try, but they also have a full habachi menu if that's more your thing.“

“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.“

“Crazy good sashimi! At first glance, it might appear pricey, but you will never find an experience like this for this price anywhere else. Everything in the menu is exceptional and by far the best I've ever had. If I could, I would go here everyday.

The service is also amazing, they're always nice, attentive and caring. I also love that this place doesn't have an overly-sophisticated vibe; it's very relaxed and chill. No need to dress up.“

“Great sushi! Love going with my husband and little one for a quick, enjoyable, dinner out. Sushi is delicious and the service is always pleasant.“

“Great food and environment“

“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 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 ❤️“

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

“Looooove this place!!!!! Great food, quiet spot, amazing BOBA!!! They not only had ramen but they also have hibachi and is my top favorite!
They have also a water station but they don’t serve sodas.
Everyone respect the quiet time when you’re eating there.
I eat here at least once a month. Love it“

“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.“

“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!“

“I've been eating here for at least fifteen years, I found this spot as a teen. It's one of my fav hibachi spots that's affordable. The other day I placed an order for pick up and they gave me fried oreos :) It made my day, and my sons. Thank you guys :)“

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

“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.“

“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.“
