We were in the mood for sushi and remembered kimonos at Swan and dolphin. We had four different rolls and some other small apps with saki and it was exceptional. Service was top-notch. We're from Hawaii so sushi quality is important and we were very impressed with the quality of the ingredients . Would recommend and look forward to coming back. read more

I enjoyed the visit to Kimonos! The food was great and service was fast . We got some hot green tea when we asked for it which was very tasty and delicious. The rolls, wagyu, beef kalbi, and kimchi jigae were on point. I was especially happy with the kimchi jigae as I had been craving it. I loved the sushi as well although the Kimonos roll was a bit too much mayo on it. We were there before the karaoke started, but the ambiance was great. They gave us lychee candies with the check, so yum! read more

The mushroom soup and sesame moose were the best parts of the meal. The price including tip was $117.98. A little too expensive. The sashimi I feel wasn't fatty enough. I could taste it in the salmon but not so much in the tuna. The rolls are good but the quality of the fish is mostly covered up by the fixings. It's Disney and the ambience is top notch. They have Karaoke at night but I wasn't there long enough to participate. Just getting parking into this place is now a mission. I say that because I didn't have a reservation. The days of just showing up are gone unfortunately. The service there is top notch. The server recommended the mushroom soup and sesame moose. Don't know that I would return because it is way too expensive. I'm lucky Security let me park. It's like Fort Knox trying to park anywhere in Disney without paying $40. read more

Kimonos is located in the Swan hotel, a Disney resort hotel. It has a variety of authentic Japanese options with its most popular food being sushi. I ordered the waygu skewers as a small plate. They were so tender and juicy. I also had their raspberry sake sangria and it was amazing as well. The service was great! We were well attended to. The ambiance definitely isn't quiet as they do have karaoke but still it is such a fun vibe outside of the park. read more

I was at a conference during my birthday. I took myself to Japanese for one at Kimonos at the Swan hotel. I was happy to have this special experience. The staff and my server were super sweet and wished me happy birthday many times. They even gave me complimentary mochi at the end of my meal. To celebrate I ordered a sangria drink. All of the chefs signed a card that they gave me. So thoughtful! I am giving a 4 instead of 5 because honestly I didn't love the food. The sushi was just okay to me. I ordered a coconut shrimp one that was kinda strange. It probably was just my order but that's why I'm giving it a 4 not 5. read more

Visited several times in the recent weeks. This is always a fun spot. The service is nice and the sushi good. Karaoke starts on the late side, but it is fun. Unfortunately, no more gator bites! read more

I was staying at the Swan because I was working at a convention, and I had dinner at Kimonos on my own for 4 or 5 days straight (!). I know, that's a bit peculiar, but most of my co-workers unfortunately aren't into Japanese food and it's my favorite cuisine, so here I had my chance to eat it for dinner as often as I felt like. I did spot two of my Japanese co-workers at a table and asked: "what do you think? Acceptable?" One of them looked at me, and after a suspense-filled pause, she replied "Acceptable." And so I placed my first order. I like the appetizer with the thin slices of yellowtail with finely cut jalapeno rings and yuzu soy vinaigrette. Another dish I ordered twice was the Kimono roll (but without the wasabi mayo), and also the kimchi soup with tofu and stringy mushrooms, but if you're not already a fan of kimchi (a spicy Korean form of chili-pickled cabbage) and tofu then you will not want a bowl of it. The nigiri plate was "acceptable" and nothing earth shattering. The Alaskan roll with salmon and crab was better. I love yellowtail, but trying it torched for once was " meh." Out of the mochi desserts, my favorite was the green tea one (red bean was too grainy and vanilla with chocolate chips was too bland). I'm not a fan of the Swan/Dolphin and surrounding's design (too kitchy for me), but I enjoyed the ambience of Kimono and their waitresses were very kind. read more

The food is definitely not great, and the pre-made sushi is just not fresh at all. The prices are way too high for what you get. We thought it would be a nice restaurant and dressed up, but it turned out to be pretty casual. It got worse after we ordered four rolls--one arrived much later than the rest. While we were eating, our server dropped off a small plate with just a few bites of sushi, and we thought it was a nice gesture for the delay in the fourth roll. But then we saw it was charged to our bill as a full roll, which it definitely wasn't, and the way it was presented made it clear it was a mistake. This seems like a scam they pull regularly. Since we were tired and didn't want to ruin our honeymoon vibe, we just paid it, but it feels like we were taken advantage of. I would never go back there and suggest you avoid it too. Really disappointing. read more

I've passed this place a few times, and it's always pretty busy.     Walking in the place seems pretty modern, yet elegant.  I was helped right away, and service was fast.            I had placed my order at the bar for take-out.  I ordered: 1.  Wagyu beef skewer - Perfectly grilled, so tender,  and juicy. 2.  Grilled kalbi beef short rib - super tender that you can easily rip the bone off. 3.  Tempura roll - Something so simple but perfectly made. 4.  Alaskan roll - so fresh and refreshing with the virus citrus on top 5.  Karaage chicken - not the usual karaage chicken we're used to.   This was like an orange chicken.   This was very tasty and crunchy, just not what I was expecting. 6.  Side order of rice - rice perfectly cooked and goes well with all the starters ordered.     Overall,  everything we had here was amazing.   We would definitely come back here again.  Maybe even check out the karaoke. read more

This is the worst review I've given. DO NOT ORDER THE LOLLIPOP ROLL unless you just like throwing away money. You pay $17 and only get 3 slim slices. AND nowhere do they indicate it's a small portion. I u sweat and paying more at a report, but this was crazy. I feel TOTALLY ripped off. I will NOT go there again and will continue to warn people. read more

Kimonos - Lollipop roll, yes 3 pieces for $17 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

All five of these stars are for the bartender David J who served us when we were here for my wife's birthday last month. We were staying at the Swan in preparation for my wife's Skyliner birthday bar crawl the next day. After having a big dinner, we stopped in to Kimonos to have some after-dinner drinks. We also thought we would see some karaoke, but (fortunately?) it didn't start until 9:30pm. We ordered a couple drinks off the menu from David, the bartender. I got the Chai Espresso Martini, which was good. David gave my wife with a mochi birthday surprise. We were having a great time, so we wanted to stay for another drink, but didn't feel particularly inspired by anything on the cocktail menu. Sensing our hesitation, David asked us both about what kind of drinks we like and made us custom cocktails, which were still very much in theme to the restaurant. Seriously, I think this guy should be in charge of the cocktail menu because his creations were way more interesting than what was there. For me, he made a Roku gin-based drink with negori sake, sakura powder, yuzu bitters, and soda water. If that had been on the menu, I would have ordered it in a heartbeat. For my wife, he made a bourbon-based "umami bomb" which she loved. If I see David behind the bar again, I will surely stop in. read more

Stopped in after a night at the parks to a pleasant surprise. You'll hear the music and karaoke outside the door and we HAD to go in. Totally worth it. The appetizers were great, tuna crispy rice and gyoza. Got a Dragon roll as well. 8.5/10. Would eat all three again. Though the crispy rice portion was small, it was full of flavor. Holiday craft drinks are out- the wife preferred the standard menu but others next to us loved them. So it's up to you. Worth a visit read more

So many great rolls to choose from. My favorite was the Dragon Roll and the Goyza. Shrimp tempura roll was good, but not to brag about.

A bit pricey but not bad considering it's a hotel restaurant. Overall service was great and we were seated quickly. I recommend for bigger parties to try and arrive early. The shrimp tempura is by far the best app on the menu. I could probably eat like 5 plates of it. Worth it! read more

Pretty good food, chill atmosphere, nice staff. We ate here twice, during our week stay. The udon was simple, but good, so we came back for more. The sushi was all fresh and tasty. The tempura, cucumber seaweed salad, and chicken satay were all good too. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! read more

Really nothing awe-inspiring. I would say the dragon role role good, the spicy rainbow was great,

Limited menu but very good! Reasonably priced and the service is just as you expect a Disney property. Our server recommended great saki. The jalapeño roll was our fave. It's lively and they accommodated us having two toddlers in tow. They have karaoke but we didn't stay for it. Starts at 9:30 pm. read more

KIMONOS: Let's just start with the name -- it's odd. They've got a cute decor to match the name, inside the restaurant, but I think you catch my drift about the folks who might actually operate this restaurant, given the menu has Kimchi Salad and metal chopsticks. #iykyk Onto the food -- we ordered the Kimonos Roll which tasted fresh and was topped with avocado slices. Inside was tuna and halibut and no additional "fillers" which was appreciated. Steep price at $20 for a roll, but we're at a WDW resort, after all. The smoked salmon sashimi ($14), tuna sushi ($10), and salmon sushi ($9) all hit the spot but were standard fare in most sushi restaurants; nothing spectacular. A good late-night (1am) option when there's a Hurricane in town, but I wouldn't return here again unless I absolutely had to. Also, be ready for surprise karaoke (this was a nice twist). Staff were all attentive, welcoming and friendly, so no complaints there. read more

Food service was very quick even though the place was packed(Game 7 of the 2025 Dodgers-Blue Jays World Series was on TV). All the rolls I ordered were good, the regular spicy tuna was not exceptional but good enough. The special fried shrimp was excellent. We each sang one Karaoke song which started at 9:30 pm local time. Lots of people signed up for Karaoke, shortly after 9:30 pm the singing list was booked up to after 11:30 pm. Get there early if you want to sing and sign up as soon as the Karaoke opens. Fun place, both the lady managing the restaurant and the lady running Karaoke were very friendly and nice. read more

My friend recommended this place to me for dinner together bc it was her go-to place. I got my usual unagi roll and miso soup and both were tasty. What I really liked was the lychee martini bc not many restaurants carry it for some reason. Already a plus in my book. The restaurant was also located in the swan hotel which was connected to the dolphin hotel. Both was massive and took a bit to find it. I would come back for sure. read more

Had the best time at Kimonos for dinner! Our servers name was Kim and she was wonderful! So attentive and charming! Disney is so great with catering to individuals with allergies. Kimonos was careful and caring when it came to serving one of my friends who had a fish allergy. Much appreciated. I ordered: - Seaweed salad = yum - Tuna roll = 6 rolls, yummy! - Shrimp tempura roll = 8 rolls, also very yummy I had a few glasses of moscato which were good and the sake sangria! The inside of the restaurant is beautiful! Very nice and elegant! read more

This was a giant disappointment. The seared tuna tasted so terrible that it tasted almost fake. Tuna was very rubbery. The kalbi ribs was bland. We are still here and we just cancelled the rest of our order because we have little faith that this restaurant will deliver on everything else. So bad that Im craving a burger. The staff was apologetic and very sweet. The ambiance was what you would expect for a disney reataurant. But all of that means nothing if the food is this bad. I would have been better off with an all you can eat place. That is how bad that first two courses were. Manager came out to speak with us and she was nice. The staff has that disney feel in service standards. The chefs just really need to bring it because this was bad. Im only giving them an extra star because the staff was great. But the food deserves a 1 star. Quality was questionable. Taste profiles were non existant. The sauce for the seared tuna even was bland. How? read more

We had a great time at Kimonos. We did a late dinner so got hear some of Karaoke which was so Fun. The service was fast and friendly. We got edamame, seaweed salad, dragon roll, veggie spring roll, jalapeño rolls, and a kani roll. The only thing we didn't like was veggie roll. But that's only because we didn't really understand what we were getting. The seaweed salad was delicious! We would recommend this place to anyone looking for sushi in Disney. read more

This is truly a hidden Disney gem! I had no luck in the park restaurants so I figured what the heck try something at the hotel . I was staying at the Swan. The service was stellar . Such a lovely bunch of women they all come over and say hello and chat. I would return just for them ! My lychee martini was a delight and both sushi rolls were wonderful. The atmosphere was really nice with all kimonos hanging from the ceiling and walls I believe that they do karaoke as well but I guess because of Covid it was closed off. read more

The banzai roll was our favorite combining crunchy, sweet, and spicy, a must try. read more

This sushi spot was located in our hotel (Swan/Dolphin). The sushi was amazing! And the staff was very kind. They even have karaoke every night - which is really cool for the hotel guests and kids! The menu is definitely on the pricier side with the miso soup being over five bucks (usually under two dollars else where) and the California roll at 8 something (typically a simple roll like that is 5 dollars or less). Never the less, the sushi was amazing. I had ordered a shrimp tempura roll and devoured it. Would come in if I stayed at the resort again - not sure if I would drive out of my way to stop in though. read more

After being tired of eating fried chicken and fries or dry burgers throughout the park, this was such a welcome change. We ordered sashimi, kimonos roll, egg drop soup and upon noodles. Everything brought my tastebuds back to life. I guess more so coz I had been reduced to eating fried food or burgers. Also special mention of the service. Amazing hospitality. The hostess took time to talk to us, helped us a custom spicy sesame Wasabi soy sauce for the sashimi as she noticed my penchant for spicy sauce. I was dining with a super tired infant, toddler and spouse. They fell asleep on the table. While some might have considered it rude and usually ignored us, I could feel the understanding being extended towards us. The hostess went above and beyond to make us as comfortable ad possible. Thank you. read more
