50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Winter Park

“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!“

“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“

“Highly recommend Omo, great atmosphere and fantastic food!“

“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.“

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

“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 😊“

“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.“

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

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

“It was nice my first time with the family there food was great the only thing rice was a little hard“

“We had a great experience while here on Spring Break. Joel “Is Blowing Up” our chef was hilarious and kept the energy up the entire time he cooked for us. We had two young kids with us and sat with another family that had 4 children and we were all near tears of laughter the entire time! Thank you for a GREAT experience!“

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

“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.“

“What a unique restaurant! Awesome food, great service and a very cool vibe! Thanks Chef Niko!“

“Best sushi I have ever had. The service was friendly, fast and they were super sweet. I recommend the fried shrimp, fried dumplings and cucumber rolls.“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“The food is absolutely great ! The drinks are great as well as the service !!“

“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.“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“One of my favorite things I’ve eaten all year! One bite of the salmon-miso onigiri and I was transported back to memories of my trip to Tokyo. UniGirl opens at noon, selling a variety of onigiri flavors, a delicious keylime tart, and very cute Shiba Inu-themed merchandise. It’s themed like a Japanese convenience store, and it’s so fun to watch the onigiri be prepared and packaged. Highly recommended for authentic Japanese onigiri! 🍙“

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

“atendimento top, os pratos de sushi são sensacionais! o ambiente é magnífico ♥️“

“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!!!“

“Great food at this place,,“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

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

“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.“

“Outstanding place, great food“

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“I would recommend everything!!! Not a single thing left us with disappointment. The sushi is fresh, the atmosphere is inviting, and the whole staff is beyond amazing. We've been back twice in a week and ordered it on Uber eats. Try the tuna pizza and all the rolls. So worth it!!“

“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!“

“Great food . We enjoy eating at Tokyo japoneses.“

“I LOVE the food! Freshly made to order!“

“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.“

“This was by far the most impressive dining experience I’ve ever had. Fabulous food, amazing people.“

“I was excited to eat here after seeing positive reviews of the gluten free options. Sadly most of their rolls contain gluten. It would be helpful if gluten free options were notated on the online menu. The service was great, the employees made an effort to accommodate a gluten free roll for me. My boyfriend enjoyed his meal. Overall I had a good experience“

“great food and good service . I will 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!“
