Everything we ordered was SO good and beautifully presented. There honestly wasn't one thing at the table that disappointed. The service was also great, attentive without making us feel rushed, and everything came out at a good pace so we could really enjoy the night. Overall, we had such a good experience celebrating here and I would absolutely come back. Great food, great service, and an even better night with friends!

I wouldn't say this is the best ramen I've had, but it was decent. It needed more flavor. Not saying it needed more garlic or other seasonings, but it was missing that pop. The main issue is my egg was overly cooked. I never had ramen that had a cooked egg, I'm more of a soft boil gal. Even though it states soft boil and green onions, I didn't really get any of that. Edamame with garlic was pretty good, you can't go wrong with that. The Takoyaki was disappointing, to find only 3-4 small pieces of octopus tentacles for $12.. not it. I mean there was 5, but still not worth it.

My boyfriend and I eat sushi ALL. THE. TIME. When I say all…read morethe time, that sometimes means multiple times a week. We have our favorite casual spots that we stop by or order take out from in Central Florida, but Take A Sushi is our absolutely favorite when we are looking for something a little less traditional!! Take A Sushi is a Venezuelan-owned restaurant serving Japanese-Latin fusion cuisine! They offer what they refer to as "basic rolls" such as california, shrimp tempura, spicy tuna etc., but their signature rolls are what have us coming back!! My personal favorite has to be the Take A Sushi roll, which features sweet plantain! My boyfriend and I both come from latin culture, so seeing our cultures infused with our absolute favorite food is so full circle, and SO tasty!! Take A Sushi is also the perfect place to dine-in. It is very casual, so we don't have to put really any effort in our outfits when planning on eating in, but at the same time, the restaurant is SO CUTE!!! A few times we've been, they've decorated the place with little pots with plants, flowers, and fairy lights! With easy parking, I could not recommend this spot more!!

Sushi was very dried, I was charge $9 for two sodas. Everything was just over priced.

The place looked clean and that was my only good take.

Saying this place is a hidden gem is an understatement. It's hands down the most underrated unknown…read moresecret sushi place in Orlando by the parks that is authentic, cheap, delicious and attended by locals! It's near the parks but out of the way and hidden enough that unless you somehow discovered this gem, you'd have no idea it was there. I genuinely believe that's this places advantage, as there's minimal seating and a very intimate and kind environment. Staff can really focus on you, get to know you and spoil you to bits. We went during a Saturday lunch 12pm and it was mostly full but quiet and relaxing. Everyone was super kind and accommodating, and they even filled up my husband's water bottle for him with filtered water as she knew we were going back to the parks. Plus... there's a bidet in the bathroom if that's your style ~ Now as for what we ordered, we actually opted to try some al a cart favorites where you check what you would like with a pen. We got some fantastic Salmon and Tuna Nigiri and Rolls and adored their home made from scratch pan seared pot stickers, a must try!! Stop by if you love the best of the best for a great price! Make sure to keep this place as our secret, but not too secret hahah ;)

This is my second time dining at Juju. I could've sworn that I had written a review that first time…read moreI came. (hmmm... ) Juju is a Japanese Izakaya style restaurant. So mostly asian tapas, a wide variety of cocktails that are either gin, suntori whisky, or vodka based, and then they have an omakase area as well. It's really easy to over-order here. Both my friend and I ordered 3 different small plates each and we ended up taking half of it home. 2 would've been enough honestly. My favorite savory item here believe it or not is the oyster mushroom skewer. It tastes sooo good! You can tell that its been marinated for a long time and its got that smoky, charcoal flavor that is irresistible. Their chicken karage is also incredible. It's super crispy and flavorful with that lemon sauce. Don't forget about the okonomiyaki. It is a savory panake that's cabbage based. You have to wait a while for them to prepare it, but its totally worth it. I'm mad myself for having waited so long to come back, and all things considered, it was not expensive when compared to other places in the area. Service was excellent, and I love the greeting you get when you walk in. I definitely plan to return.

I highly recommend to come hungry-- their All You Can Eat special is so worth it! They have a great selection of sushi's to choose from, quick and efficient service, and DELICIOUS sushi!!!! $30 per adult for high quality sushi!! I was never originally a fan of raw seafood, but the extremely creative rolls from SukiHanna have totally changed the game for me (Mango Tango is a must try!!) On top of this, many of their signature rolls are named after iconic parts of Orlando, such as their John Young Roll and their Publix Roll! Such a sweet and engaging touch!! Could not recommend SukiHanna more!!

I enjoyed a glass of rose while my friend had a virgin mojito. both delicious! service was friendly and quick. prices were fair for the quality and deliciousness of food. highly recommend a visit!

You can get a lot of high quality sushi for an affordable price. Although I would suggest you get the sushi, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It all is phenomenal! The service is always excellent. The staff work well together and keep everything moving efficiently. The location does have a limited amount of seating, so planning ahead is important, however, this is a great spot to have a birthday or date night. The acoustics provide enough noise for a conversation without everyone around you hearing it.

We all left agreeing that it was one of the most memorable dining experiences we've ever had. I would highly recommend Sushi Izuki and would gladly return.

If you prefer more privacy, I would reserve the tatami room, but the sushi bar looked very fun too. I particularly enjoyed the tatami room since our server was really attentive, and his description of each course really made the dining experience all the better! The birthday gift I got at the end was super cute! If looking to do an omakase, and want to treat yourself to a really nice meal, I would definitely recommend it to try this place at least once! They do give you an option to order from a menu after majority of the meal has come out too, if you want to repeat some of your favorite items from the meal.

Such a unique sushi experience! When we first arrived, there happened to be two seats open, but…read morethere wasn't technically an opening for a reservation. After speaking with the owner, he explained that he didn't want us to feel rushed, so he was able to accommodate us at a later seating that day. I really appreciated that! I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time, though, because there are only eight seats available at the counter. The market itself is in such a cute area and has so much to check out, including teas, popcorn, a brewery, and more. Once we sat down at the sushi counter, the atmosphere almost made you feel like you had been transported to Japan. I ordered the five-piece sashimi, and the fish was incredibly fresh and delicate. Each piece was paired with different sauces and flavors that made every bite unique. It was unlike any sashimi I've had before, and you could really tell how much thought and care went into each piece. Between the atmosphere, the hospitality, and the quality of the fish, this was such a memorable experience. I would absolutely come back--just with a reservation next time!

I dont know that i have ever felt that way at all restaurant. We sat in front of Daniel who was very focused on the couple next to us,who are apparently regulars. I believe its great to recognize your regulars and pay extra attention to them. but there are other patrons in your restaurant, Find a way to focus on them and bring them in. There was an another couple who sat next to us that were almost never acknowledged. We weren't greeted when arrived by Daniel. He was very engaged to the couple next to us. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better after that. At the very end of our dinner after we paid, Daniel gave us additional food. Thank you, but no thank you. I am saddened because i love the restaurant and their food. it's a very different experience when Austin is not here....
