Kitchen is also open with a bar that looks directly into the kitchen as you dine. Drinks are simple. Plum wine, Japanese whisky options, beer, and soft drinks. Also a few mixed drinks, but again nothing crazy or exciting. Food was fresh and pretty good. The tuna sashimi appetizer was fantastic! The sauce is like a yum-yum and black sesame blend. Incredible. The bowl was wayyyyyy too sweet for me. Too much of the sauce. But the rice and chicken were pretty good. The pork belly is grilled and not seasoned much. So added it to the bowl to calm the sweet and it worked well. Overall, this place isn't worth queuing for, but still pretty good considering its location. Solid 6/10 for me.

If you're a foodie and visiting Orlando, this should be at the top of your list. If you live in Orlando, I'm jealous- I'd go here a lot.

I wish I could find the order form that I took so I could properly give credit to each of the delicious things we ordered. There's a menu and then a small piece of paper with pencils and you put in your order at the bar where they give you a number.

Izakaya style vibes as soon as you walk in, the space is small but they have a large waiting area. Perhaps the waiting area could be converted into more seating. You really can't go wrong with any dish here but some standouts are the chicken karaage, chashu gohan (braised pork belly with rice), and getting adventurous with any of the yakitori and kushiyaki dishes. Service is always great here, and food comes out quickly. Always great coming back!

The restaurant is on the smaller side but they have it organized to fit quite a few people. The area is clean as well. The soup was so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat it! I've never had cold soup before but I definitely will be trying the other options throughout the summer. It was so refreshing!

I don't feel they do a great job explaining their menu to people who are unfamiliar with udon, especially cuz there are no pictures for them to see what they're ordering. It was fine for me as I'm super familiar with Japanese food. We got tempura udon, which is something I've been craving, and they did a great job. I highly recommend it. We didn't feel like a cocktail so I got an iced tea and he got a viet coffee but they served it in a cocktail glass so it was such a small amount... def shoulda been served in a tall glass, cuz why do I have to be slowly sipping that c'mon. The service was good. They were all friendly and courteous. Oh, parking is a nightmare. There's a lot in the back but you'll be lucky to find a spot. There's street parking but that's also crazy. Def not their fault but just be aware. All in all a nice place. I'd def come back again for their food.

You order at a kiosk when you enter, the process is quick and easy, and once seated they promptly bring everything you need -- chopsticks, utensils, and all the ramen essentials. The food comes out fast and is delivered right to your table. I ordered the Golden Ginger signature ramen and it was outstanding. The broth was rich and flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and the housemade, hand-pulled noodles were perfectly cooked and delicious. We also tried the Hokkaido cream waffles. They're less like a traditional waffle and more reminiscent of a Twinkie-style cream cake, but since we'd had Hokkaido cream desserts in Osaka before, it felt authentic and nostalgic -- and absolutely tasty. I'd order them again without hesitation. My husband had the dango sweet rice cake, which was very good, but next time I'd still choose the waffles for dessert. They also offer a nice variety of drinks and teas to round out the meal. I love the super fruit green tea. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, the service is excellent, and the whole experience feels thoughtfully run. We'll happily be back.

We loved the Ginger Salad so much we got two plates, and the Chicken Thigh Skewers were incredible. The Veggie Gyoza and Edamame were good, the Wontons were decent, and while the Short Rib Buns had amazing flavor, the buns were unfortunately a little soggy. But the absolute star of the dinner was the Create Your Own Sushi, Uramaki rolls. We ordered multiple plates and the fish was incredibly fresh, everything about the sushi was perfect. We capped it off with a fantastic dessert round of Mochi Ice Cream and a Mochi Donut (a delicious twist on a churro). Easily one of our favorite spots on Sand Lake!
