GIRLS DINNER WITH DAD ADVENTURE!!!…read more Me and my two girls tried Wakame Sushi and Hibachi for dinner tonight. Newer place in Auburndale with a nice interior aesthetic or ambiance. Modern, but similar to most Sushi places of this level. We started with ordering our drinks. The server was definitely young and new to being a server. Not a complaint, just not at a high level of service knowledge as of yet. I asked for no ice in my Mt Dew 3 times and she still brought it with ice. She was very friendly, pleasant and attentive. She just needs to work on her listening to a customer and following through with the request. I'm sure she will get better with time. I say this b/c she also forgot the soup for the table next to us that ordered the hibachi. We then ordered our food. 1 chicken yakisoba, 1 Philadelphia roll add cream cheese, 1 clear soup, 1 Cold Maki roll & to finish an app of chicken Tempura!!! Check out my pics of the menu for details. The chicken yakisoba had very little sauce which resulted in zero flavor. The portion size was nice, just wished there was more flavor and more sauce would have helped that. It was very dry and bland. The Philly roll was good exactly what it was supposed to be and fresh!!! All the Sushi was super fresh. The clear soup was bland and tasted a little in the watery side. Not much flavor to it. The Cold Maki roll was good, but for 15.50 I felt I could have made this at home for all 5 of us at around 30$, but it was good and I did enjoy it, just not the price. At 12$ this would be a better Food to Value ratio. The Chicken Tempura app had the best Food to Value ratio at 7.50 for 3 pieces of perfectly tempura cooked chicken, 1 broccoli, 1 slice sweet potato & zucchini, 1 mushroom and of course the tempura onion ring. I enjoyed this the most out of everything we had!!! I would definitely go back, but I would definitely order other items to try and only reorder the Tempura!!! I will update my review next time we go, but for now it's a 3 Star place to us!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!!

We ordered a bunch of things to share- the chicken karaage, gyoza with wings, okonomiyaki, tonkotsu black ramen, and a few skewers. Everything was delicious, but the shishito peppers were SO good! We also had our 1 year old with us and she absolutely LOVED the ramen broth and noodles, which was so cute. Such a cool spot with great food!

Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5

From the service to the quality and portion of food, it's worth going back every time we go to Orlando. We all chose to eat Hibachi and I'm so happy we did. Many of the reviews said Hibachi was best so this is why we chose it. I can't give a fair assessment on the A La Carte but the Hibachi is a definite! They do take reservations so if it's a holiday or a busy weekend, I'd suggest making a reservation. The restaurant is good for all occasions: families, date night, birthdays....all the days!

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 ;)
