“Incredible top to bottom. Starters to drinks to desserts. All amazing. Staff was attentive and professional. Great recommendations from wait staff. Highly recommend!!!”

“Great experience. Plate sizes are smaller, but the flavor was spot on. Hubby had a curry bowl, kids had lo mein, and I had the fried rice. The desert and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. Lovely server who was quite attentive. I will go again. The hostess seemed a bit annoyed, but it didn't take too much from the experience. See you again soon”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Edoboy is my go to place for an amazing and unique sushi dining experience. I have celebrated bachelorettes, birthdays and solo nights here and enough cannot be said for the level of service the chefs and staff offer every single patron. The intimacy of the venue and the limit of the time and size of parties is perfect for this experience. If you want you can enjoy on your own or engage with the parties around you quite easily. The quality and preparation of the sushi is exceptional every time I visit.Try everything on the menu at least once, as I have, it will expand your sushi vocabulary. And if you have any room, do not skip the miso soup and dessert. The matcha s’more is incredible if it is still available. Also, you cannot beat the price for the experience, it’s not cheap at all, but I will dare to say it’s on the level of some Omakase experiences but at a better value.”

“Hidden gem 14-course omakase for $100 ($65 for 10-course)! My wife and I were blown away over how fresh and delicious everything was. Chef David and another chef (sorry we didn’t get his name) meticulously handcrafts each delicious bite of heaven that will deliver a rush of endorphins to your brain. They are warm, friendly, attentive and explain the place of origin for each piece of sushi. Only opened a year and a half ago, Norigami has received a coveted Bib Gourmand award from the Michelin Guide. There are only 8-seats in this sushi bar only restaurant in the Plant Street Market, so be sure to make reservations well in advance of your planned date. They do not have a liquor license (yet), which means you can BYOB. It takes a lot of work, expertise and love to deliver such an enjoyable meal. We will be coming back every time we visit Orlando! Thank you Chef David!Parking: Plan for extra time to locate parking if there are events going on. We were there during St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Chef David was so kind and attentive to call me they day before our reservation to forewarn us.”

“It was our first time at Reyes Mezcaleria and it won't be our last. The food was delicious and the decor was beautiful. Chris P., was the best waiter that we've ever had. We highly recommend Reyes Me”

“Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Aguardiente, the atmosphere was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the service from Juan and Laura was the best. If you are in Orlando I definitely recommend this restaurant”

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."”

“My wife and I have been trying to get here for quite some time, and we were able to get there today. The food did not disappoint at all. Chicken and waffles, crab cakes, and Blanca vegetarian omelette were all cooked well and were very tasty.”

“We are regulars at this place. Weekends are very crowded and parking is always a pain. This place is known for their Chaats (street food from the western part of India) and north Indian food. So their south indian dishes like dosas or uttapams may not be the best. Even Biryanis are not as good as some other local places. But if you are in the mood for Chaats - they are your answer. They are also great for naans, parathas, and asian fusion dishes.”

“In the heart of town, Agave Azul stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, offering a tantalizing array of authentic Mexican dishes that ignite the taste buds and transport diners to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Agave Azul, where I was treated not only to delectable cuisine but also to impeccable service, courtesy of the remarkable waitress, Manuela.From the moment I stepped into Agave Azul, the aroma of spices and sizzling meats enveloped me, promising an unforgettable dining experience. As I perused the menu, I was delighted by the diverse selection of dishes, ranging from traditional favorites like tacos and enchiladas to more adventurous offerings such as mole poblano and cochinita pibil. Each dish boasted vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients, showcasing the culinary prowess of the kitchen staff.Throughout the evening, Manuela's attentive service elevated my dining experience to new heights. Her warm smile and genuine enthusiasm were infectious, making me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. She guided me through the menu with expert recommendations, ensuring that each dish I selected would be a feast for the senses. Her knowledge of the ingredients and preparation techniques added an extra layer of appreciation to the meal, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine.As the evening unfolded, each dish surpassed my expectations, tantalizing my taste buds with a symphony of flavors and textures. The carne asada was tender and succulent, infused with smoky undertones and served alongside perfectly charred peppers and onions. The guacamole was a revelation, creamy and zesty with just the right amount of kick from fresh jalapeños and cilantro. And who could forget the churros? Crispy on the outside, yet delightfully soft on the inside, they were the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable meal.In conclusion, my dining experience at Agave Azul was nothing short of spectacular, thanks in large part to the culinary mastery of the kitchen and the exceptional service provided by Manuela. From the first bite to the last, I was transported on a culinary journey through the vibrant flavors of Mexico, leaving me eager to return for another taste of paradise. Agave Azul and Manuela have truly set the standard for Mexican cuisine and hospitality, and I cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.”

“Una comida deliciosa, atención al cliente perfecta por Estefania quien nos atendió. Recomendamos este restaurante a todos quien como nosotros estamos de visita por Orlando. Comparando precio con calidad y cantidad muy bueno. Le daría 10 estrellas. Además tienen un pequeño espacio para que los niños jueguen.”

“The pizza here was absolutely delicious! We were looking for something with that true Italian style and V Pizza did not disappoint! There was a slight issue with my pizza missing an item and the gentleman at the front who I assume was the manager or owner took care of it right away. I even offered to just take the item and throw it on myself, but the gentleman insisted on making me a fresh pizza the right way. It was amazing and truly satisfied my pizza craving! I wish we lived in the area so we could eat here more often! Thank you V Pizza!”

“When I saw this restaurant on an episode of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives I was really looking forward to coming here and it did not disappoint in any way. The food was as delicious as it was beautifully plated, the ambiance was very welcoming, and the staff were very friendly. Looking forward to my next visit to Orlando Florida so I can dine here again with friends and family.Note: I identified an item in my photo as 'Tator Tot Spring Salad'. It's not an official item, as of the date I visited, however, while dining there they allowed me to create that excitingly delicious dish.”

“Great food, great atmosphere. Okonomiyaki and hamachi crudo were favorites. Chirashi in mashu box was also very good, great tasting fish. Our server Cam was awesome and gave great sake recommendations. Awesome vibe and super friendly atmosphere.”

“The Food: The dinner at Kaya was one of our favorite dining experiences in a long, long time. Wave after wave of meticulously assembled dishes that would rival any 5-star, white tablecloth, squads of chefs with tweezers restaurant arrive at table with the homey casualness of “Hey, look what we made for you.” The flavor profiles are perfect and sublime, and the quality of the unusual, diverse ingredients are amazing and fresh. There was not one missed note in the whole parade of dishes.The Place: The warmth and care of the staff at Kaya is extraordinary. When we opened the door, the hostess smiled the smile of someone happy to see an old friend. Our server was familiar and charming. She explained the complex dishes concisely and with an eagerness that signaled “you are gonna love this!” The whole place is a masterclass in hospitality.The set menu is the way to go. Also, upgrade to the king crab rice.”

“This is my first time visiting Otto's high dive, and it was for a work meeting. We came into the place and were immediately greeted by the owner, who went over the menu, how everything works, and explained that it was more of a shared plates type of place. There was about 12 of us in our group, so we liked the idea of that! We were quickly seated (even without the full party, which was a plus), and my boss & I had a conversation while we waited for the rest of our party. Prior to my parties arrival, they set up the table with several glasses of water several bottles to pour from silverware and topic size place we thought it was really cool that they provided all the stuff prior to the party getting here so we didn't kinda have to just sit there and wait. Once everyone in the party arrive, we took a minute to look over the menu and decided to try one of their very famous meal options, the Abundancia. Which had a fitting name! This featured several carafes of daiquiris, a four tiered seafood tower, pastelitos, ropa vieja, rice and beans, cuban bread, and flan and tres leches for dessert. There was SO MUCH FOOD! And we had a great time enjoying it. The restaurant was busy, and a little crowded, but that only added to the experience. I'll be back soon!”

“Another place we where pleasantly surprised. Was glad to see the reviews matches perfectly. The service great server gerb was excellent. There was a slight hiccup but corrected vary quick and nicely. Food was on spot tasteful and plenty. I take just a bit from tostones. They did not have any salt or garlic oil over them not a problem but would have liked. It's like not having salt for fries or ketchup just in case.But vary good place live music. Drinks are at also vary good. Don't miss this spot has live music and vary popular Latin Dominican location. Will be back.Parking: Has plenty of parking but if club next door is hopping may be difficult or a further walk to place.”

“I loved the ambiance. The DJ is really lit, played hits whole time we were there. The wangz is a must try and French indulgence was delicious! My choice of drink was a passion fruit margarita..I highly recommend. Thereservice was a 10/10”

“Unreal experience and EASILY the best Brazilian Steakhouse I’ve ever been too. This spot BLOWS AWAY the chains. The selection and quality of meets was 2nd to none. The game changer though was the Pineapple, WOW! I can’t believe I’m posting about Pineapple on a steakhouse page, but it was LEGIT! Keep up the great work and THANK YOU for being one of America’s Best Restaurants”

“A place where you can fully experience the atmosphere of travel.The friendliest staff in Florida.Delicious food. Spacious store. Beautiful scenery.It's a good store.”

“We been seeing this place all over social media and we had to stop by, and I can definitely say it was not a disappointment. The staff were amazing and the broth was 10 out of 10.”

“I would give the experience at Soseki a 4.5/5. The service was impeccable; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly: 5/5. The atmosphere was a 4.5/5 because I felt the music was a little too loud to converse with my partner at times. I give the food a 4.5/5 because it was locally and internationally sourced showcasing the wonderful and vibrant flavors of Central Florida and Japan; however, during one of the nigiri portions, my partner had a rather large fishbone that got caught in their throat. Otherwise, it was an exquisite experience, of which I commend the chefs and the staff, especially for the detailed seating arrangement I requested. This experience is worth the price of admission.”

“it's casual cafe but love their foods... Starting with papaya salad and Tom Kha, a coconut milk soup that you can add any protein. I like it as it's full flavor but not heavy... Their seasoned fried fish is my favorite too along with fried rice. Grilled squid, sometimes a bit over cooked, so make it chewy...dessert, if you like sticky rice and durian, they have a good one”

“✨ The best Brazilian Japanese style restaurant ever!!!!! The ambient is just lovely, the staff is amazing and oh my God the food is just fabulous! ON POINT. I would definitely come back and recommend my friends to try too. And indeed ALL YOU CAN IT. Bruna, Gabriel, Michel were great with attending our table. ✨ thanks chefff!!!!!”

“Our server was so sweet and genuine. She understood service without being pretentious. She was warm, personable, had a good sense of humor and non-intrusive but quick to respond with questions about the menu or to fill our glasses without having to ask. The pate was fantastic, the scallops cooked wonderfully with brilliant flavors...definitely worthy of Bib Gourmande.”

“My family and I had a great time here. I love that they serve you the meats, seafood, and ramen to your table. We also enjoyed that there were many options, including rice and chicken wings, at the self serve area buffet style. Lily, our server, was the cherry on top with excellent service and a friendly attitude. We enjoyed our meal.”

“Took my daughter for her 25th birthday. It was funny start to finish. The Wait staff was amazing. They were on top of food and drinks. Pizza was was really good. My whole family enjoyed theshow 4/13. My 13 year old even got to go on stage would definitely go back one day.”

“I’m in love. This is already on my list of go-to places in Central Florida. There is so much to love about Haan Coffee: from the ultra-trendy setup, to the Uber-friendly staff (I’ve met Albert, Coby, Gabriella, Hong, Josh, Kenny, Semie, and Victoria and they are all so helpful and kind), to the bright lighting, to the hip decor, to the sweet swag, this place oozes cool vibes. Of course, the food and drinks are what keep me coming back. I’ve tried several of their drinks and my favorites (five-way tie for first place) are the cold crew crème top, SJ latte, Seoul iced Coffee, strawberry milk, and the iced yuja. There’s one made with tonic that I thought was very interesting that my friends said was their fave. Food-wise, I loved the sweet and salty garlic butter bread and the croiffles. So good. I get happy thoughts thinking about them. If I didn’t live 30 minutes away, I’d be there every day. I’m so glad for the addition of Haan to the amazing coffeehouses in the City Beautiful!”
