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 great dining experience, thanks to the exceptional service and beautifully presented dishes. The eggplant was delicious, the udon was a little bit salty for my taste, but still acceptable. Will give it another try when I’m at this side of town.“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“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! 👍“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, excellent service, fabulous presentation.“

“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!!!“

“Pros
- Food is amazing about as close to sushi in Japan as you’re going to get.
- Matcha S’more is a great way to end the meal.

Cons:
- The time window is a little short. Feels like a 70 minute experience that has to be completed in 60.
- The standing sushi concept is a bit strange. If it’s to try to mimic standing sushi spots in Japan…those are often causal $5-$10 meals in small markets with space for stools/chairs. This is a $100+ dinner in a building that has plenty of space for seats.

Overall though, I’d definitely recommend and come back.“

“We enjoyed the food at Uni Girl , especially the mango panna cota. It was very very good. The onigiris were good but it’s a bit pricey per item. The squid and the sauce were really good. We also got a black sesame pastry and fruto Sando from a different establishment in the small market and the black sesame pastry was a bit dry but good. It’s a good place to try with many options. We did not try the matcha but TenShin is making an art out of the preparation and they are very precise with the measurement. Overall a good experience there.“

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

“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.“

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

“The food was absolutely delicious, especially the yellow tail tartar fire. However, the service could have been better. We felt rushed and didn’t feel as welcomed as we would have liked. The fried Yuka with tuna was flavorful, but the Yuka bite was too large, overpowering the taste of the fish. These are just a few suggestions to improve the overall experience.
Despite these minor issues, we’re definitely coming back to this location!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“I am a server, and Juliana was running the front of house almost completely solo. She was hosting, bussing, and food running, ON TOP OF BEING THE ONLY SERVER ON THE FLOOR! The fact that this restaurant offers an “all you can eat” option, means that she was running exponentially more food than a typical server would have to, and taking many more orders! She was outstanding!! Food was delicious as well, but we would come back just for Juliana!!! <3 10 out of 10!!!“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for amazing ramen in Orlando, you have to try Oodle Ramen! 🍜 The food is absolutely incredible, the service is great, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The prices are just right for the quality you get. I’ve tried ramen all over Orlando, and this is hands down the best I’ve had. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

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

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food. It was mine and my partner's last night eatting In Florida, couldnt ask for a better place to eat. The food did not mess with my stomach at all I attaully felt good after eatting, I was not bloated. I could tell they make there food with love for a foodie like me thats so important!
The ragoons were phenomenal! I haven't ate ragoons like that in about 10 years. Suish one roll filled me up. Our waitress was so knowledgeable & very attentive bonus great conversation.
Definitely come and suport this mom and pop!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

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

“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.“

“This was our first time coming here and it was a great experience. The gyzoa appetizer was amazing. Very light but full of flavor. TNT roll was amazing an prices were very fair! everything was awesome definitely coming back would definitely recommend. Im 32 yrs old an this is the first time I've ever left a review on a place I've eaten at even if I liked it. Great find.“

“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!“

“We came today and loved our experience! I ordered the Vegetable Roll and Eel Roll. My husband ordered the Pad Thai. It's a small storefront, meaning service is fast. The food is made fresh in back. You know it's legit because every roll is made my hand and authentic. Don't rate poorly for speed please as this is a small business, and I have noticed America is used to McDonalds speed. We were in and out in 20 minutes with fresh food, but I know people rate poorly if not immediate. This is because it is quality. The server was so kind and genuinely interested in knowing us, and signed us up for a reward system. After one meal, we were 1/3 way to a discount. We will be back!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great food and environment“

“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.“

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

“This is the quintessential neighborhood sushi joint that makes you wonder why you try annywhere else. I have never had a less than stellar night at Miyako from the recently updated decor, to the friendly and helpful staff, to the creative, filling and FRESH sushi rolls. There’s hibachi available as well. It’s casual, cozy, clean and family friendly, too. Love Miyako so much!“

“Awesome ramen, friendly service, very reasonable prices, and perfect portions. I'll definitely be back. I recommend this place.

Back again! Can't get enough. Consistently amazing. The picture is the lunch portion which is ample and satisfying.“

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

“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“

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