40 Best Japanese Restaurants near Winter Garden

“Quick review of Norigami’s “More Omakase” experience!

Secured a last minute reservation at Norigami in Winter Garden last night. Decided to order the Toro Carpaccio and the More Omakase experience! The More Omakase lineup includes 14 pieces of beautiful sushi, one hand roll, and one soup! At $110, this is arguably one of the best bang for your buck omakase experiences I’ve ever had personally especially considering the amount of quality pieces you get. And that Toro Carpaccio is one of the best bites I’ve had during my time in Orlando! This place is unreal and I highly recommend trying to secure a reservation ASAP! There are only eight seats available and reservations go quickly!

Shoutout to Chef David and Chef Austin for all of their hard work and dedication to crushing it!

P.S. The dude sitting next to me came all the way from San Diego just to eat at Norigami and Sticky Rice lol! He was RAVING about how great the sushi was! It’s great to see people coming from all over to try it!“

“As New Yorkers dining on sushi weekly for the past 25 years, we thought we’d seen it all—until we tried X Sushi. This place is a revelation! It brings a fresh, avant-garde twist to sushi, combining flavors in ways we’ve never experienced. Each bite is creative yet balanced, showing true artistry and innovation. If you’re a sushi lover, X Sushi is an absolute must-visit for a whole new perspective on Japanese cuisine. Incredible and unforgettable!“

“the best Japanese street food in the area .“

“Move over melting pot or any other restaurant similar in style. Gyu-Kaku is EXCELLENT! They serve the highest quality meats that I've ever seen, and they're seasoned to perfection! They're ambience is perfect for date night, or stopping in after a long day at the parks. Would highly recommend this place! freaking 10/10. can't wait for next time“

“🚨New restaurant alert! 🚨 All we can say is WOW! Everything we had was beyond amazing and absolutely exceeded our expectations. Everything is made to order and extremely fresh! We’ll definitely be coming back for more. 👏🏼 If you are in or visiting the Orlando area, this is a must do if you’re wanting fresh food away from the theme parks.“

“Great food and drinks.“

“Great sushi and great time with my daughter“

“Food was great! I had the Pao Pao Chicken bowl, and the Mex roll. The chicken has the perfect amount of spice to add flavor but not be overwhelming. And the roll was very flavorful and served nearly and on time. Overall the experience was great!“

“Sushi nota 10 e atendimento nota 100000 super recomendooo ❤️“

“shirley was an excellent server for my family tonight. also, melvin did an oustanding job cooking our food. we had one member of our family who was allergic to scallops-melvin worked around that issue without any difficulty. thanks to all kobe staff for a wonderful evening!“

Each dish is crafted to perfection, bursting with flavors that are both unique and delightful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. Whether you're in the mood for a casual meal or a special celebration, this restaurant never disappoints. Every time I dine here, I'm blown away by the quality and creativity of the menu. You simply have to try this place when you're in Orlando. I would give them a 10/10 for everything they make, from appetizers to desserts.“

“My family and I came in for a late dinner. We did not know what to expect since it's our first time there. We got the chicken wings, ramen noodle, and fried rice. All three dishes were very good! Our favorite was the chicken wings- we compared it to Domu's chicken wings- but without the long wait. Our server was very pleasant to talk to. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we will definitely come back to try other dishes. Highly recommended!“

So if you’re looking for some fresh/high quality/affordable sushi or hibachi this is your spot!“

“Saku Japan is a fantastic restaurant that truly deserves 5 stars. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared — from the hibachi and teriyaki to the sushi. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick with service, creating a welcoming atmosphere every time. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the overall experience is consistently excellent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Highly recommended!“

“Amazing experience hidden gem in Clermont.“

“Good food in a casual atmosphere!“

“Great food, great atmosphere!“

“Staff got better. Better portions as expected for hungry person.

FYI UpDate

It's Mid August 2024, and I have to give this Apopka Panda location a thumb up. Lunch to Dinner it's been very good. I recommend if you want a great family dinner, choose this place. Or you can go out to any restaurant and sit down and pay extra for tips. Choose this place if you want a delicious bang for your buck.

See yah!!“

“We’ve dined at both Kabooki locations, and they’re equally incredible! This place has everything you want in a night out—a stylish, lounge-like vibe; creative, delicious cocktails; mind-blowing food; and friendly, attentive staff. The oysters are hands-down some of the best we’ve ever had; the moriawase sashimi and nigiri are unbelievably fresh and a flavor journey we didn’t think could be topped…until the ghost roll arrived and blew us away. Each bite was divine—this is a stop-and-savor experience. Every 5-star review is well-deserved. Kabooki is consistently outstanding and our top choice for sushi, without question.“

“Great food and terrific service. I go often.“

“One of my favorite sushi spots!😊 quick service. I am unnecessarily picky with sushi, Seito Sand Lake met all of my expectations. I will get the Sweetheart roll every time!“

“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!“

“I almost felt sorry for paying just $20.95 for ayce sushi during lunch time. My expectation for $20.95 ayce sushi was pretty low, but I was dead wrong. Servers were very hospitable and attentive. It took a while to get my sushi (presented in a beautiful boat), because I ordered too much!

I witnessed 7 sushi chefs constantly banging out sushi and rolls during lunch time. It did not look sustainable. So I dined here again 2 days after. Before the quality deteriorates inevitably when every Universal visitors found out about this place.

If somehow this place maintains its current quality and the pricing, then I will declare Sushi Yama the top 3 AYCE restaurant in Orlando.“

“Best sushi in Orlando! Touken offers a wide range of delicious sushi and Brazilian offerings as well. G and Gabriel have both waited on us and provided excellent service! We tell all of our friends about this spot!!!“

“The atmosphere was gorgeous. They also have an outdoor patio area. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, explaining the setup and how it works to order what is right for you. And the food... was not what I imagined at all. It was AMAZING! And beautifully arranged. Every veggie and seafood item was very fresh! I give 5 of 5 stars. I had tempura shrimp, crab salad, extra tempura shrimp, red cabbage, carrots, scallions, and eel sauce. The bowls are $16 a piece, but good size portions. Will definitely go back 100%. I wish I had taken photos before I devoured it. Lol Thank you guys!“

“I love Sushi & we try it everywhere we go. I tilt my husband this was the best sushi I ever had. I had the shrimp tempura and he had the Godzilla roll. Amazing can’t wait to come back ! Highly recommend!“

“Enjoyed dinner with family.“

“From appetizer to entree to dessert and even their Drinks are soooooooo good .. Authentic Asian Flavors ..“

“This restaurant the best sushi“

“The food is very good! We would get take out all the time, if only there was a way to not have my boiling hot curry put in a cheap plastic container. I can only imagine how many microplastics get released into the curry! So, we only go occasionally for dine in.“

“I frequent here relatively often and always have an amazing experience! Absolutely love their sushi rolls, and my fiance loves the dinner meals! Great takeout and portions for a reasonable price, and the service is always excellent. Would highly recommend!“
