First come first serve is not a concept here. Walked in half the tables were empty so we ask for a table they ask if I have a reservation. I have tried since they opened to eat there and I am finally done trying. Save your time go to hotpot

Had this joint recommended by a local friend who said it would be my jam and he was right! Outstanding food, great punk rock kaiju-theme atmosphere. Best bites were the Shiso-butter onigiri and the chicken-oyster yakitori skewer; the okonomiyaki was a dream. Everything was super flavorful, memorable, and Dennis was great and attentive on a busy night. Tasty cocktails as well. Brilliant evening.

A must stop when we're in town. After a few visits, we've tried most of the menu at this point. There are no bad choices. I over eat every time we visit. The decorations give it a Showa retro vibe that's inviting and cozy. I use Google translate to read some of the decor and signage while waiting.
It's a pretty popular spot, so expect a decent wait during prime meal hours. Especially on the weekends.
Ordering tip/recommendation if you're a first-time visitor dining here in a group: The Ramen is good, but so are the grilled items. A single bowl of Ramen is a generous portion that (IMO) is more than enough fill up an average sized tum tum. Maybe split a bowl of Ramen two ways (or more) so you still have room to sample some of the grilled items.
Everything is good, but the Kawa (chicken skin) Yakitori and the Tonkotsu Ramen are my favorites.

We visited Susuru last Saturday and had a disappointing experience with the seating process. When we arrived, the asian girl host told us the wait would be about an hour, so we decided to stay and wait. Shortly after, another pair of guests arrived. They were also told it's going to be an hour wait but she got them, they got a table immediately because the front desk girl knows them even though we had arrived earlier.

Excellent atmosphere. Felt like I was was in a pixel art japanese themed 80s screensaver. The water was the worst by far that I've had in the USA. Undrinkable. Got bottled drinks to avoid it. The water flavored the food too. Which made it disappointing. Not much other flavor either. Dont understand the hype unfortunately.

Super cool restaurant! Well-decorated and delicious food. Must try is the rice with braised pork belly
I had this place saved in my to go list for a while and finally decided to go on my birthday. One of the best decisions I’ve made!
We had two drinks, the Godzilla and the Yuzu Lemonade. Sadly, they were out of the toy that comes with it, but the drinks were still yummy!
For apps, we had the Mentaiko fries. So good! Packed with umami from the roe and seaweed topping. We also ordered the chicken thigh, chicken meatball, and wagyu yakitori. Perfectly grilled and so yummy! Lots of flavor.
For our entrees, I had the Tonkotsu Black ramen and my girlfriend had the Ikura Uni Don. The ramen had a rich, deep flavor that can only be attained from simmering for hours. The ikura and uni were so fresh and delicious.
As for my dessert, our server gave us the Matcha Tiramisu and Taro soft serve, on the house for my birthday! That matcha tiramisu is now one of my favorite desserts of all time. It was served with hot green tea and was an excellent complement to the tiramisu. The Taro soft serve was creamy and delightful.
The Japanese retro decor and music is so comfy and really immerses you into an izakaya vibe. I would most definitely come back here on another trip to Orlando!

I have been wanting to try this place forever!! it’s walk in, but the wait didn’t take as long as expected, went on a saturday night too. The food was amazing, i really enjoyed the taro ice cream, i need to go back immediately just for that. the flavors are everything you’d want them to be. I tried everything our waiter recommended and I was not disappointed. Must try: pork belly small bowl 5/5
Kim was absolutely amazing. The chicken skewer was delightfully delicious. I would fly in to eat that matcha tiramisu again. I’m still thinking about it. The only downside is that my Uber took a while to pick me up, so I ended up arriving 30 minutes before closing. I could tell that the hostess was upset about that from her body language and the way she spoke to me. Aside from that I had a great experience. I would definitely go back!

Great Japanese place, have decorations and good lively Japanese music. I had the mi so hot ramen and was very good. Could've been more spicy though but still giving it 5 stars. Goyza was also very good.

Love the food here, this place is a must go whenever we fly to Florida! We actually came during their 7 year anniversary so luckily was able to try some different foods but even the regular menu items are good!
