First time at Umi in Winter Park and I was l impressed especially by all the awards on the wall…read more The vibe was great and the sushi absolutely lived up to the hype. Our waitress, Jennifer, was amazing super sweet &, attentive. I had the Paradise Roll, which was incredible, and my friend ordered the Forest Roll (vegan), which was also delicious. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. It was semi busy but will be probably waited no more than 15 minutes but the service was still great. Overall, amazing sushi, great energy, and a spot I'd definitely come back to and try the Park Ave.

If you're trying to impress your date, take her to Umi. I recently went to Umi for a Valentine's…read moreDay date. Umi is located on Park Ave in Winter Park. So if you're a long time Central Florida resident, then you know that street is very walkable and super cute with the park nearby but also high end. I mean it has a Williams Sonoma, like casually. The restaurant is located at 525 S Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789. My boyfriend did get the reservation I think about a month in advance. It very much surprised me as one of my goals is to try new places in Orlando, and this was one that he had been to that I hadn't been to. So A++++ for him. So the restaurant had a super nice atmosphere but was very booked out. There were heart balloons at every table. So the decor was absolutely in the room with us lol. The service was very nice and I feel that they were very attentive and almost felt like maybe they had been trained to provide a certain feeling to customers. I'm sure they had been. Getting into the food, I'm not sure what the bill was. I wasn't allowed to look at it. I will say that I'm sure it was at least $100. I did leave feeling very full, but I do feel like that's a lot of money for me to feel full. We ordered the Misoyaki Butterfish, which was a Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass on a plate with ginger-sake eggplant, butter garlic sautéed spinach, and Japanese potato purée. It's a large plate and we did share, but it was not the whole fish. I think if I pay $45 for a fish, I want the whole fish. My rating is 8.5/10. It was incredibly delicious, but I want the rest of my fish. We also got the Kanpungi, which was fried Korean style boneless chicken bites smothered in a spicy soy sauce glaze. My rating of this is 9/10. I think it was great and was very filling for an appetizer. We accidentally ran into our friends at the restaurant, who had sent us a bottle of sake. The sake was great. We sent back a non-alcoholic cocktail they had and a sake based cocktail. I couldn't tell you what it tasted like, but the service presented and delivered back and forth between our table in a manner I can only describe as carrier pigeon-esque. They did great. I love fanfare. I think for a first date, this is a great place to bring someone you have been talking to for a little bit and want to show that you have a good stable job in this economy and like foods outside of American food. I wasn't on a first date as a note lol. My overall rating is 7.5/10. I mean I think everything was great, but that price stabbed me a little. My boyfriend did suggest to me that it would have been a higher rating if we had gotten one of the rolls. So that's on me. It is in a great walkable neighborhood though. So you are getting charged for ambiance.

I love it. One of the best ramens I had. Curry is my favorite. I love the flavor of the wings…read more The Kimchi there is DELICIOUS. Service is pretty good, nothing crazy. We like to set outside. The only thing I absolutely hate is that you can't make a reservation over the phone.

I think how busy they always are speaks to how good they are…read more While they don't allow reservations and your party must all be present before being seated, the food is delicious. Their wings are so crispy, I think they're some of the best wings I've had. I also highly recommend their Tokyo Ramen. The chicken thighs in the ramen are crispy and have great flavor. I only wish there was more broth because it was so yummy. Food came out fast and service was great.

This is one of the few places that when ordering takeout I don't add any sauces or spices on it once home. It's that good.

Can't go wrong with Vietnamese food! Great food, great…read morecoffee, a whole new nation of flavor! My go to is the chicken rice bowl with pickled vegetables and a fried egg. It's so flavorful and savory! I usually take it to go because the searing is limited. They have a small dining area, but it only has a few tables and a bar area to sit. The staff are always kind, and helped a lot when I was going through a vegetarian phase. If you love Vietnamese food, or you're looking to expand your pallet, this is a must try home grown spot!

Just wow to Kabooki!!!!! Been here twice now and just getting to reviewing this spot…read more Let me first start with the staff! Great service from start to finish. Our server Michelle was very nice and offered good input to our questions about the dishes. We also had the honor to talk with Chef Henry Moso- we had a great conversation about the sushi and he even presented us with a dish. Grateful and delighted! kabooki's quality and execution of the dishes are a work of art! Both times we sat at sushi table and watched all the sushi chefs doing their magic was a great show. We started with the hamachi carpaccio and the beef carpaccio and both were chefs kiss We had the bluefin tasting which was great progression of variety of bluefin. Mauro Truffle, Kona Kampachi, leche de Tigro were tasty unique options. The use of micro greens and flowers was really pretty besides being tasty!! Definitely worth checking out!!

The food came out quickly, which I always appreciate, and everything I tried was genuinely enjoyable. I'd absolutely order it all again without hesitation.

If you're looking for a spot with good energy, fast service, and food that delivers, Wave Sushi is definitely worth checking out.

I ordered the fries, sushi burgers, and for the mochi, I ordered 2 matcha and 1 mango. They let you pick which 3 you want. Not listed, they told me I could get a seaweed or cucumber salad as well, so I opted for cucumber. My husband and I could have eaten off just one meal from the Bite 30 menu. The portions were huge, but luckily he just ordered the hot dog off of the regular menu. The presentations were very beautiful. The fish was super fresh. The fries were hot. Can't complain about the service either. The only complaint was that the mochi was a bit soft and melted, but they were really good.

The sushi rolls are so good and unique here! As someone who…read moredoesn't eat mayo I am quite picky with sushi but there were great unique options here (I had the Maui Waui roll). Restaurant had a nice ambiance and service was great. We went on a Saturday and it was a little busy but no wait.

Definitely worth the trip. Excellent interior and a greeting that makes you feel special. The food…read moreplating was superior and our selections prepared according to our specifications (we modified several items at no problem). Kid friendly and able to seat a large family. Food was quickly prepared and we barely waited for appetizers or entrees. The rolls were well made and portion size was relatively filling. As a person with a fish allergy that enjoys non-fish sushi, it was disappointing to have no chicken options and the only cooked sushi was steak. My companions loved their selections and would definitely return. Note: Place is kinda pricey so go prepared to spend what you need to be full.

We had such a great experience at Seito Sushi that I had to leave a review…read more My children and I shared several dishes so we could try a little bit of everything, and every single item was fresh and delicious. We started with miso soup and a crisp house salad with ginger dressing. The greens were bright and fresh, and the dressing had that perfect balance of tangy and savory that Japanese salads do so well. We also ordered a variety of sushi rolls, and the fish tasted incredibly fresh. The presentation was beautiful, and each bite had great texture and flavor. One of the highlights for me was the poke-style bowl I ordered -- it was light, flavorful, and packed with fresh ingredients that all worked together perfectly. Another standout was the Japanese curry with fried chicken. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the curry sauce was rich, comforting, and full of flavor over perfectly cooked rice. The little details made the meal even better -- from the pickled vegetables to the thoughtful plating. Everything felt carefully prepared. Service was excellent as well. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Overall, it was one of those meals where every dish hits the mark. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. My kids loved it and so did I. We'll absolutely be back.
