48 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!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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! 👍“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“My first experience was amaizing, I highly recommend this place if you want to try very exclusive and delicious carpaccios, nigiri and more. The environment was chill and Renato’s attention was great. I will definitely be back with my friends 💕“

“Great food at this place,,“

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

“Our server was Jojo and she was amazing! She was friendly and she tried helping me with my ramen dish if it was available or not. The atmosphere was very calming too! The food was great! I ordered chicken karaage and the lunch special with the oodle ramen (I forgot the name) and a side of gyoza. 10/10!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Outstanding place, great food“

“🤙🥗🍣🍣🍣🍱🍜🍝🍤“

“Linh and Wawa Great time and service“

“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.“

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

“Great Japanese restaurant, with great sushi rolls. Every bite we took had its great flavors. Salmon hibachi was great with perfectly cooked salmon.
Other rolls we ordered had very good flavors. Location in particular was great, by the lake, if you want to have seat by the window, better to call them and reserve a table ahead of time, it’s worth the scenery!“

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

“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!“

“I loved him literally, I went because I read very good comments and I was surprised because they prepared sushi as they do in my country just for me. I really loved that they did that, now I will go often because it is difficult to find such a place. Both the chefs and the waitress were very kind, they earned a new client ❤️“

“I’m impressed! I ordered through Uber Eats. I ordered mega pork ramen and Oreo Wow with black sugar boba. Everything was sooo delicious! The ramen broth has peanut notes in it which is amazing and unique for a pork ramen. And they add bean sprouts! I recommend adding their spicy sauce. Will order again!“

“My husband surprised me with dinner at Edo Boy for my birthday, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Orlando.

We did the Baller Set omakase, and every course felt like a work of art. The quality of the fish was exceptional some of the freshest sushi I’ve ever had and each bite was carefully crafted with flavors that were both creative and perfectly balanced.

One thing I loved was that the experience felt fun and interactive. Instead of a traditional seated omakase, we stood at the sushi counter, which made it feel more casual, social, and engaging. Watching the chefs prepare each course right in front of us added so much to the experience and gave us a chance to appreciate the skill and attention to detail behind every bite.

Some of my favorites were the Toro & Caviar, Salmon Crunch, XO Hamachi, OG Smash, and the incredible seared nigiri. The combination of bluefin tuna, uni, caviar, truffle, and other premium ingredients was absolutely amazing without ever feeling overdone. Every course had its own personality, and somehow each one seemed better than the last.

The atmosphere was intimate, energetic, and unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Orlando. My husband and I found ourselves talking about each course long after we ate it, trying to decide which was our favorite.

If you’re a sushi lover or looking for a unique spot to celebrate a special occasion, Edo Boy is absolutely worth it. Between the incredible fish, creative preparations, and interactive standing omakase experience, it was the perfect birthday dinner.“

“I love Sarku! I ate it for the first time in the outlet mall this past week. It was so delicious that I ended up ordering it again later in the week. The chicken teriyaki is outstanding! I’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Keep making that good food Sarku! 💕💕💕“

“Honestly one of the best sushi meals I've had, period. The flavor combinations were creative without feeling gimmicky, and everything was executed perfectly. I'm already planning my next visit and bringing friends along - this is the place I recommend to everyone now.“

“It’s a five star review with only four stars for food service and atmosphere because it’s about a 4 1/2 star five stars to me. It has to be really off the chart incredible. However, hibachi express did not disappoint. Not only did I walk in and order I was attended to immediately, and my walk-in order was done shockingly fast during their busy dinner hour. I would highly recommend eating here for express sushi and I saw the hibachi looks really good too.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“
