Quality here is really great you wouldnt believe they offer real hokkaido uni and assortment of Japanese sushi white fish prepared so fresh. To top it off they remembered my reservation for my wife's bday and gave a free bday dessert with a candle on top. Service is excellent our server surprised us by knowing so much about great japanese dishes and how they should be prepared. The interior threw us off because it is so nicely designed and is in a plaza next door to a 4 guys we thought it was another tourist trap but I was glad to be so wrong about my initial impressions. Wish they had a restaurant just like this back home as they hit the spot and did more that just check the boxes on my scorecard. Would return if I was ever back in town in the future.

Sweet: I enjoyed everything I tried. This time since we came so much I ordered a new item. My favorite is the Aburi salmon - it's lightly torched salmon sashimi over rice. I get that every time. I did enjoy the salon and scallop don as well as the tempura don. Sour: the appetizers aren't anything special especially the shrimp shumai. Seems like the frozen ones you can get at the grocery store. Stick to the don bowls or even the bentos.

A good place to be in if you like Japanese bar food…read more The decors were composed of a ton of old Japanese advertisements. They had interesting seating arrangements, like bars and window seating can only be sit by parties of two. Getting a space was not easy. Hostess was kind and helpful. Food: fried chicken was a bit dry. Not the Japanese crunchy puffy shell kind. Not bad. Yakitoris are all excellent! Nothing to complain. We ordered everything on the menu. All are good. All cooked to American perfection. Gyoza was good. Nothing to write home about. Ramen: tonkusut black was excellent. Broth was done with time. Tori was good. Also thick broth! Would definitely come back again.

Just like my review from before, Susuru is still one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. It's…read morestill such a fun retro izakaya whenever I'm craving ramen or Japanese style tapas, and the service is always top notch. We almost always have Asuka as our server, and she's seriously the sweetest. She's always so welcoming and somehow always recommends something that ends up becoming a new favorite. They've added more ramen to the menu since my last review, and the Tan Tan ramen has quickly become one of my favorites. The spicy sesame peanut broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. If I'm not in the mood for ramen, I always go with the shiso butter yaki onigiri with a side of pork chashu. They torch the butter right at your table, which is such a fun touch, and it smells incredible. The mentaiko fries are still a must order every single visit, and for dessert you can't skip the matcha tiramisu or the taro ice cream with the hot green tea. The ramen, grilled meats, addicting appetizers, fun drinks, awesome atmosphere, and consistently amazing staff are exactly why I keep coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

We recently tried the Premium All You Can Eat option at Gyu Kaku, and while it was a fun…read moreexperience, I don't think the $54 per person price is worth it. The biggest disappointment was the meat selection. The premium menu had a limited variety of cuts, and several of them looked and tasted like lower quality scrap pieces rather than premium cuts. The marinades were flavorful, but the quality of the beef didn't match the price point. We also brought our 10 year old and 6 year old, and neither of them enjoyed it very much. They ended up eating far less than we expected, which made the kids' AYCE price harder to justify as well. That said, the experience itself was enjoyable. Cooking your own food at the table is always fun, the restaurant was clean, and our server was excellent. The service was attentive, friendly, and our orders came out quickly throughout the meal. I'd still recommend Gyu Kaku, but I'd skip the Premium All You Can Eat. I'd rather order individual dishes or try one of the lower priced options instead. For nearly $300 for a family of five, I expected noticeably better meat quality and a wider selection. The service was the highlight of our visit.

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!
