50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Orlando

“I am back after a few years. The food is still delicious, 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Our server, Kimo, 5 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
He is full of energy, explained the dishes, gave us suggestions and was very attentive.
My favorite from his suggestions, Maguro Truffle, Sticky Ribs, Hawaii XO Roll and the Double Tekka Roll. For dessert we had the Ube Cheese Cake. Sweet, smooth, perfect to share with two. Yes! I would order it all again.
The ambiance, 4 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
The decor is cheeky/romantic with dim lights. But noise level was pretty high. It’s ok if you are sitting right next to each other. I can hear larger parties speaking louder to be able to carry a conversation.
Restroom situation, 2 ⭐️ ⭐️
There is 1 bathroom for females and 1 bathroom for males. I didn’t really noticed it until the line came out of the bathroom area and people were standing near our table. When I needed to use it, wow, I was next in line but it took forever. Something to consider upgrading or maybe make them unisex so both stalls can be used.
The restaurant added a lounge next door. It has its own door or you can access through the restaurant. It also has its own cocktail menu that you can order from while dining.
These are suggestions for improvement but not important enough to stop me from coming back.“

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

“I chose to come here for my birthday, because I like eating at Michelin Starred places for my birthday. I also like omakases. There seems to be more and more places all offering their own omakases, so they all start to run together, makes it hard to differentiate them. So instead of detailing every aspect of Natsu, I wanna just highlight what makes them different from everyone else.

Ambiance is so beautiful, peaceful, stoic. You enter this space, and you're in instant tranquility. A simple countertop with no view of the kitchen. Very comfortable high-top bar stools welcomed my behind. And a very nice card personally wishing me a happy birthday also welcomed me. A very nice touch. Super classy.

The service was also stellar. It wasn't the well-choreographed show that you see at two or three star places. But each person had their dedicated duties, and they did a really good job of making comfortable small talk with us. Very friendly folks.

Now for the food. The very good food. It was a very familiar setup. The light bites, the palate cleanser, the nigiri, and then the dessert.
This place doesn't have any of the big meat dishes like a seared duck or an A5 Wagyu, so if you're needing that, this place won't have that. I didn't need it, so I just sat back and enjoyed this mainly seafood inspired menu.

The light bite portion was nice. I got introduced to a small fish that I'd never eaten before. There was of course a dish that was the obligatory showered-in-truffles dish, but this one wasn't an upcharge, which was very appreciated. In fact, there were no upcharge opportunities at all that evening. Very appreciated.

As for the nigiri portion of the meal, I was actually very surprised that the literal slice of fish that was on the rice was a larger portion than other sushi places. I'm not kidding. The portion size was tangibly larger, which had it's advantages. A thicker slice gives you more of an appreciation for the texture of the seafood. I was actually blown away by this pleasant surprise.

We ended the meal with a special birthday candle in my dessert. So nice.

Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with my birthday evening here. They set the mood, they treated me really nice, but not in a snooty way, and the food was varied, fresh, and delicious. I can't see myself not coming back. I love this place.“

“Delicious sushi! I got the baller set which was very good and nice to try once, but I’ll probably just order from the regular menu in the future.

It is standing room only and doesn’t feel crowded tho the place is quite small.

The only thing I really didn’t care for was the 1 hour slot, I feel like it could be 1.5 hours and that might be better because it felt a bit rushed at the end when getting the last pieces, soup, and s’mores. I felt like I had to scarf my s’mores down quickly to get out on time.

Overall, the place is great and I would come back again in the future!!“

“We went to TORI TORI for the first time last weekend. The food and drinks were amazing, but I can’t give the restaurant more than 4 stars. The way the place works is a bit different: you find your own seat, then go to the bar to order both your food and drinks. After that, you can either stay at the bar or go back to your table. We tried the blue crab dip, crab croquette, crab rice, scallop crudo, beef skewers, tomato skewers, scallion and cheese pepper skewers ~ all of them were delicious. The drinks were also really good. They have food runners who bring the food to you, but you still have to go order everything yourself at the bar. The mix of self-service and table service was interesting, but I didn’t love having to wait in line to order and still being expected to tip over 20% (which we did). The bartenders (ours was Thanathep) were very busy, which made sense since it was a Sunday night. I really enjoyed the food and drinks, but because of the service style, I’d give it 4 stars.“

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

“Loved everything about this place.
I got the crab tomato udon (?) I hope described it correctly.
The food was top-tier. My colleagues ordered cold noodles but they weren't much of a fan, but I was.
We came in to eat during our business trip, got seated right away, and they kindly explained all the details of ordering and food options.
101% recommend! Fair pricing too.“

“100% Japan authentic 🎌🏯🇯🇵🗾“

“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.“

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

“I dined at Nami tonight with my girlfriend, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The food was simply amazing, each dish bursting with flavor and artfully presented. The ambience was perfect, striking with simple elegance. The staff was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cared about the details, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was impeccable. Our server, Jan, was exceptional, providing attentive service with a warm demeanor that enhanced our dining experience. Although we had to wait a while for our table in the beginning, it was well worth it in the end. I have high hopes that Nami will be awarded a Michelin star in the future, as they truly deserve it. I can't wait to dine there again!“

“Dining here was an absolute core memory. From start to finish, the service and food were top notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and nice. They were also very knowledgable about each dish that was brought out. You could tell they were like a family and had a lot of pride working there. The food was beautifully presented each time and the chef has such amazing twists on each dish. I really don’t know how he thought of this all!!!! Every single dish was absolutely delicious and special. And the dessert and specialty drinks?? Amazing. I have pictures so I can remember this forever but I’m not sharing because I truly believe this is something you need to experience for yourself. I’ve been to several michelin restaurants before and I can confidently say that this place well deserves its stars. I hope to be able to come here again the next time I’m in town. I also hope that everyone there keeps their passion and loving what they do. Because it is truly so special what is done there.“

“It was our first time visiting for magical dining. We actually arrived an hour earlier than our scheduled reservation and they seated us immediately. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was superb! Katrina, our server provided detailed explanations of the menu and gave great recommendations. Even before we entered, Peter, the valet, welcomed us like we were old friends. He recommended Ana’s Cosmo, which was divine. The meal came in “waves” and each wave seemed interchangeable and complemented the previous one. We wanted for nothing the entire evening. Christopher, the general manager, was attentive and made us feel at home. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we will definitely return—only next time we will book a room at the Wave Hotel and make it a proper staycation.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Entertainment from Chef for everyone“

“The food and the other guests at our table were great and the Teppanyaki chef was comedy gold! - If he ever retires from being a chef, he'd make a fortune as a stand up!“

“Recomiendo foods for dine in“

“Incredible menu. We have to come back to try more plates. We were party of 6, ambiance was perfect to have a nice chat with friends with an amazing food and drinks. Everything we had was unbelievable. 100% recommend and looking forward to come back. Our server was Miguel, ask for him and follow his suggestions. You won’t go wrong!“

“I cannot stress enough how much I love this place. The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is the best in the city. 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!“

“Without a doubt, Token Ramen is my go-to place to eat - and has been for the past three years. It’s the kind of spot that doesn’t just serve great food, but creates a genuine sense of community and consistency that keeps me coming back week after week.

I almost always order the same thing: edamame with spicy sauce and the curry shrimp ramen - a flavorful, comforting combo that never fails. But on the rare occasions I branch out and try something different, I’m always impressed. Every dish I’ve had on the menu has been thoughtfully prepared and full of rich, balanced flavors. You can tell the kitchen takes real pride in what they put out.

One of the things I love most about Token is how personal the experience feels. You know you’re a regular when the staff greets you by name and brings your drink - Diet Coke in my case - before you even sit down. That kind of attention makes you feel at home, and it speaks volumes about their hospitality.

Whether you’re a ramen connoisseur or just someone looking for a consistently excellent meal, Token Ramen is a gem. It’s more than just a restaurant - it’s a place where great food and great people come together.“

“Delicious food, excellent service, fabulous presentation.“

“Outstanding place, great food“

“Eugene and Renee are the most genuine and caring individuals here, and they always go above and beyond to take care of our needs, which is the primary reason we keep coming back. The warm smile they give us is a nice touch, and it's a quality I particularly appreciate in a fast-paced world where personal interaction can be hard to find.“

“I can’t recommend this restaurant enough! Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. Our waitress Julia was so considerate, helpful, and attentive. She made everyone feel at home. Definitely adding this place to the rotation.“

“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.“

“Great selection nice kid’s menu“

“great food and good service . I will be back“

“food was fresh and delicious“

“I had a GREAT experience here. Was able to get walk up seating (not recommended), meal was DELICIOUS. Service was great. I definitely would come back, and can’t wait until I do so! I had the Kobore roll which the server brings out the toppings to mix for you and “overflows” it on top of your roll. I also had an egg and seafood umami soufflé type dish which was on their seasonal summer menu, this was SO unique and amazing. I’m honestly so impressed with the taste and quality of what I ordered. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Highly recommend Beautiful people great foods“

“I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen and they were delicious, not too spicy, but fresh and served hot. My wife wasn’t too hungry so she only ordered sides. The hibachi tofu and the grilled vegetable were also very good though. Would come here again!“

“About 10 years ago I wanted to jump in the sushi wagon and I just couldn't. My parents, and husband would come and I kept wanting and to try. This place is it. I now love sushi and always come here. Have never had an upset Belly, serves is always great, good is fresh...“

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

“Great sushi and atmosphere without hurting your wallet. You can tell the ingredients are always fresh. Definitely a must try if you love sushi!“

“Cheap option for Brazilians who want to save money. I managed to share a "bento" for 2 easily.

The food is tasty.

I recommend buying drinks from the soda machine because they put a lot of ice in these restaurants.

It's in the outlet's food court.“
