    Food delicious, good experience, good service they need a changer pad in both restrooms.

    Top to bottom: Mango Roll, Jaguar Roll, Tomago Niguri.

    I consider any restaurant that hasn't had a review in 6 months to basically be a blank slate. 6 months is long enough for management to fix problems that could contribute to a negative review, or for glowing reviews to slip. Sushi Cafe hasn't had a review on this site in 6 months. Yet I still see people going in and out of this restaurant all the time, usually happy. So, blank slate it is. Tonight my wife wanted sushi and we live close to Sushi Cafe and they were open so, we went. I looked at the reviews, plenty of positive reviews but the most recent review was one star and is 6 months old. So we decided to give them a shot. I've been eating sushi since the 90's and have a lot of experience with this food. First thing I look for on any sushi menu is Ikura (salmon roe). Next is the Spider Roll. These are my favorites. I asked if the chef made Ikura Temaki for us but he countered with Mosago (smelt roe) and we accepted. We also ordered a Dragon Roll (shrimp tempura cucumber, cream cheese, eel, spicy shredded krab, with avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayo) , Spider Roll (soft shell crab, cucumber avocado mosago and eel sauce) , Mango Roll (shrimp tempura, krab, cream cheese, topped with mango coconut flakes and mango sauce glaze), Jaguar roll (a tempura roll consisting of eel, avocado and cream cheese topped with eel sauce), and a Tomago Nigiri (sweetened scrambled egg omelette style sliced over rice), and tuna roll (tuna nori which is just rice, tuna, and nori wrap). They also served us miso soup and a sweet cake for dessert. The first served was the Miso Soup which was wonderful with fresh white mushroom slices and green onions. It was tasty and warm. First roll served was the Mosago hand roll with rice. Very simple and very nice. The focus was on the roe which is a good start for a salty pallet introduction and an excellent entry point to our meal. Next was the Green Dragon. This is the most expensive roll they have but well worth it (see pics). The portion is generous, the pieces are large without being oversized and the flavors are delicious. Next was the Spider Roll which was delicious and savory with the soft shell crab being the star of the show, which was served with the tuna nori (a wonderful roll focusing solely on the red meat of the tuna which was succulent and juicy in the best ways), and the Tomago (sweetened scrambled egg omelette slice which made me wish I'd doubled my order and was the sleeper hit of the evening). Simultaneously we were served the Mango, the Jaguar, and the other Tomago. The Mango was sweet, reminiscent of coconut shrimp, and the sweetness of the mango paired well with the saltiness of the shrimp and earthiness of the rice. The Jaguar was crispy and savory and the eel sauce was an excellent compliment. And my wife says her Tomago was delicious, sweet, and tasty as well. Lastly we had sweet cakes with strawberry frosting for dessert. The staff was really just two people: the chef who seemed to prefer his artistry be observed on the plate as he hid himself under a black baseball cap which allowed him to focus on his creations. He clearly takes pride in his work because though it seems he almost never looks up, he has astute observation of the entire restaurant and yet still crafts such beauty. And the server, a girl whose charm and enthusiasm add to the atmosphere nicely. She paid attention to all three tables, each booth holding one couple, a young couple on a date (they are anime fans and were an adorable interracial couple), an older married couple (he was bald and his shorts and polo say he enjoys German cars while his wife enjoys her home) and us (40's, round, quiet, interracial couple). We went into this small restaurant to enjoy a good meal and were treated to a wonderful meal accompanied by a visual display of humanity and people watching. We will return. If you're in the area and hungry, you should too.

    First time visiting from out of town! Food was very fresh and tasty, I am picky when it comes to raw smoked salmon, I give everyone a try.. they have the freshest tasting smoked salmon I've tried. The service was fast and very pleasant, our server was great and made sure to help me with my food allergies to the best of her ability and even gave us a souvenir for our first time! Definitely a foodie place if you're looking to get good sushi. Don't judge a book by its cover cause this place is so good. Definitely gonna try the all you can eat next time! Thank you so much for the keychains.

    New owners. The interior looks much nicer. The menu is better and the sushi is incredibly fresh. $31 all you can eat menu but why bother? Lunch for two is less than $30 with drinks. You still leave full.

    The sushi smell like raw fish. I take one bite of the sushi is very bad ! Never order from this place anymore just wasting my money.

    A7. Vegetable Tempura (Only sweet potato)
    Emily G.

    We found Sushi Cafe about two years ago. It was a rough night and finding a place with a quiet atmosphere was great. The owner was kind and quick to say hello. This place has a calm and relaxed vibe to it. Perfect for a break from any hustle in bustle in daily life. Whether it's your first time or not, feel free to walk in and sit down wherever you'd like. You'll quickly find someone coming to bring you menus and asking what you'd like to drink. There are printed menus that you can use to mark down what you'd like to order with a provided pen. We always order shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura. However, on our first time here we asked if it was possible to do only sweet potato. The owner was happy to do so. If you have a preferred veggie from what they offer, don't be shy about asking for only that. Mom and grandma shared a chicken hibachi which brings white rice and a miso soup. They said the sauce was delicious and the portion was great. I ordered a pick two rolls and did the Tiger roll and Chicken Tempura roll. The sushi was tasty and light, and the tempura inside wasn't oily. We love coming here, and I've no doubt we'll continue to come. If you want good sushi for a good price, I'd suggest Sushi Cafe!

    A friend recommended this place for cheap sushi, so we decided to give it a try and placed a pick-up order. We got 9 rolls and a spicy salmon seaweed salad. Three rolls were only $12.99, which is very inexpensive for sushi. I didn't have high expectations given the low prices, but some of the rolls were among the worst I've had, while a few were just alright. The fish was of low quality and did not taste good. The sushi rice was decent but not the best. The spicy salmon seaweed salad was not good; the salmon seemed like scraps. If you decide to go, I suggest trying their cooked rolls, like shrimp tempura. On the positive side, pick-up was fast, and the interior was dimly lit. I can't make any other comments on the ambiance and service as we did a quick pick up.

    Gone here a couple times with friends and I love their sushi lunch deals! Sushi here is delicious and well presented and its always quiet around this area which is great for a relaxing day out. Service here is also quick and they are very polite and welcoming and a great local business :)

    Husband and I decided to eat here for Valentines Day from their new AYCE menu. And under new ownership. SUSHI: All the sushi was FRESH and DELICIOUS! I ordered the Mango roll (shrimp tempura, crab, cc with fresh slices of sweet mango on top ) so good and my new favorite. Perfect. The Sunset roll with large slices of fresh tuna on top was probably the best tuna I've ever had. Also had the Rock and Roll, Philadelphia roll , salmon and tamago sashimi and salmon avocado toll. The rolls were huge so keep this in mind as I couldn't finish all and hubby who also had AYCE had to help. He had the Mexican roll and others and said they were very good and fresh. PLUS: they let me custom roll by substitute salmon for smoked which I appreciated. APPETIZERS: really impressed. They were tasty and come out hot and crispy- fried fresh we had to let cool down to eat! Loved the shrimp tempura (2 pieces) we ordered it twice! Also had steamed gyoza (5) shared veggie tempura which included broccoli, slice sweet potato, onion, asparagus, whole mushroom, and for dessert had ice cream and shared the yummy banana tempura and Asian donuts (both about 4-5 pieces). We were full so no room to try their Takoyaki (octopus balls) or soup and salads but we will next time. Our waitress was friendly with excellent service including from the 2 sushi chefs. We will be back and HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Everything was closed today due to Hurricane Nicole and I didn't want fast food so we checked this place out and. We got the veggie tempura which was so good!! And we got the shrimp fried rice which was more hibachi style but still delicious. I did add my own sushi sauce to the rice but the shrimp were huge cleaned nicely and fresh and everything was just yummy. Will be going here regularly just for the tempura

    Sushi buffet!? Worth the price, but don't expect too much. Similar to eating sushi at a chinese buffet, the quality is the same. We were given a sheet of paper with a pencil to order what we want by marking it down on the paper. There's apps, nigiri, and sushi rolls. May different options to choose from. My favorite was the crunch crab. The service is good, our server was attentive to us as well as all her other tables. Be careful not to leave any food left. They'll charge you!

    Steamed Gyoza
    Melinda S.

    I have been wanting to try this place since my sushi loving friend told me about it. We went today and I thought it was awesome! For $15 you get all you can eat sushi with appetizers. There is a great selection of rolls and there are also premium roll options for an extra cost, but I was perfectly happy with the included options. I tried the steamed gyoza and found that enjoyable. I tried several different sushi rolls and enjoyed all of them. I really felt happy about getting to branch out and try different varieties since I knew I could get others on the next round. One of my favorites was the yummy yummy roll. It had spicy krab and avocado and was very good. The salmon and tuna nagiri were good. I liked all of the rolls I tried honestly and felt it was good sushi for a great price. Our server was very friendly and checked on us regularly. The food also came out very quickly. My boyfriend and another member of our group don't like sushi, but enjoyed their hibachi options. I look forward to returning!

    My go-to place for sushi. Their sushi is so fresh and at an unbelievable price! They shrimp tempura is my favorite. The mixture between the freshness of the sushi with the crunchiness of the shrimp tempura is too good!! When they open again, please go support this great place!

    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.

My main course of the Chirashi Fusion - Chef's selection of sashimi & toppings over sushi rice was a nice detour in style for me. The real standout in my mind was the freshness of the fish. You could really tell there was a difference as compared to many other places I have been. Service was generally good. Even though I had it, I am still not entirely sure what the "Fusion" option adds to the Chirashi. As for the place itself, it has a great modern feel. Super clean and though parking can be tough for this area the lot way in the back (not too far from where this place is) seems to have the best luck.

    THEY STOLE FROM ME!! DON'T ORDER FROM HERE IF YOU WANT WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!…read more I tried ordering $60 worth of food via Uber eats from them. The wait time was increased by 25 minutes and I immediately canceled the order. Uber eats would not refund because the merchant already accepted the order, so Sakari was going to be given the payment regardless. I tried to resolve with Sakari instead. The manager promised me a gift card refund for the meal so that I could eat there in the future, considering they couldn't refund me themselves even though they were getting the money from Uber Eats anyways, and I really wanted to try out the place still. I called today to confirm their offer and instead the owner decided not to give me the food I ALREADY PAID FOR and to take it up with my credit card company that will not give me my money back. Harking back on, THEY STOLE FROM ME! Despite all of the hoops, I've had to go through for this large amount of food I never got to eat, the review is primarily due to the owners lack of empowerment to management to make decisions that are inherently unimportant in the grand scheme of things, reflecting a cheap nature/non-customer centric approach to business; and in this day and age, that is pertinent to success. Definitely felt like a slap in the face, or to my wallet actually. Also, no photo with this review because I RECEIVED NOTHING! **Update** after being denied a refund from both Uber Eats, Sakari, and my credit card company, I appealed the case after it was settled and was able to get my money back. I'm keeping the review as is considering it wasn't a certainty that I was going to get my money back without going the extra mile with my credit card company.
