I've been coming to X Sushi since their soft opening in 2023, and it has easily become one of my favorite sushi spots in Florida. The quality has stayed consistently strong, which is honestly rare once a restaurant gets more popular. They are always trying new things and their menu has grown to be a perfect fit for everyone to find something. They have an excellent selection of high quality sushi and the perfect place for sushi lovers to have an amazing dining experience. Every time I've gone, the presentation has been beautiful and the fish has tasted incredibly fresh. One thing I especially appreciate is the consistency of the experience. The staff has always been welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, and you can tell there's a lot of care put into both the food and the overall dining experience. I've brought multiple people here over the years and it has become one of those places I continuously recommend and bring all my family and friends to. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for high-quality sushi with a polished but still approachable atmosphere. read more

On today's episode of Don't Judge A Book by its Cover, we bring you X Sushi! This restaurant sits in a nondescript strip mall next to things like a dance studio, a nail salon, across from the Walgreens in a Publix. We were greeted by a waiter holding the door open for us. When we entered, I was taken aback by the upscale decor. The staff immediately seated us, and Anna came up to bring water and give us recommendations on the menu. Another staff member (I failed to catch his name unfortunately) also gave us great suggestions and information on the restaurant. They were both very knowledgeable of the menu and even where the ingredients were sourced. They were both outstanding. We got the truffle edamame (outstanding), the Mucca di Mare appetizer (unexpectedly perfect, no sauce, wasabi, or ginger needed), the Ceviche roll (so fresh and bright) and the Ultimate Salmon roll (salmon, prosciutto, brie cheese, and more?! Count me in!) The fish was so fresh, it had no fish flavor or scent at all. It was perfect. The rolls were innovative and balanced in flavor. I have no feedback other than these were possibly the best rolls I've had in the Orlando area. We also had the Alaska Cake for dessert. It was very light and refreshing. It wasn't overwhelming or huge. It was the perfect end to a meal. And for my birthday, they even put a candle in it for me! Their birthday surprise was also unexpected and a delight. I can't wait to come back to try more of the menu! read more

Wow just wow. What a great dining experience. So this place has been on my list for a while. We ended up there because I got a flat tire on the way home from Strawberry picking. We walked in and the place was intimate and elegant and upscale, and we were definitely underdressed and I underestimated how nice it would be based on its location. Luckily I always keep a spare dress in the trunk a quick change in the bathroom. We walked in without reservations and by the foodie gods were blessed with an opportunity to dine in there that night. There is a sushi bar. There are tables up against the wall and there are some small tables for two. They also have one really large table for eight with a giant Lazy Susan for family style dining. They sat us at the giant table and did not even roll their eyes that we were with two little kids ages five and eight. I ordered enough food to feed an army and everything was delicious. The tuna pizza the ceviche roll the presentation as well as the food were of the highest standards. Even a basic role was executed perfectly no skimping on ingredients. If I had to find one thing that was on the downside was the lychee drink I ordered was a bright red and tasted like a jolly rancher, not lychee, but it was delicious, although probably more sugar than I should have. If you're ever in the area, go try it, but don't be like me and make a reservation read more

Such a non assuming place that blew my mind .... Definitely a special occasion kind of place. Give it a try you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely delicious sushi and experience! Staff were extremely knowledgeable of all the menu items and helped us pick the most delicious Salmon Crudo! Thick pieces of New Zealand salmon that were cooked to perfection! We also ordered two sushi rolls. One Coconut shrimp roll and another rainbow roll with snow crab! Highly recommend, but don't be shy of the strip mall. You walk in and get transformed into an elegant sushi spot! Check them out! read more

Wow, what a find!! We went on search of a sushi place on the area different than where we've eaten before because we wanted to try something new. Based on the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. The vibe is so relaxing and calm. The server, Felipe, was so attentive and answered all of our questions. We started with the fried pork dumplings and that set the course of the evening. They were perfectly cooked and the sauce was divine. We ordered the Otsu roll and the Rock and Roll. Each of them were so fresh and tasty. The owners are Brazilian and we are definitely impressed with the quality. read more

We visited X Sushi on a Saturday night around 7:15pm. We had made a reservation through yelp, but were told that their Yelp reservations don't work, only open table works, which was a little frustrating. The team there said they could seat us in about 15 minutes, so we went to the back to their waiting area, which has the cutest compliment wall! We were seated about 30 minutes later. Honestly, our service experience made me really sad. All the tables around us were getting significantly faster service. We were seated, then given menus 10 minutes later. About 10 minutes after that, the waiter returned to take our order. I put in a drink (which then didn't come for another hour) and some edamame, and my companion asked what the seasonal fish was. It was another 20 minutes before our waiter returned, so we asked what the seasonal fish was again and he told us. Then we ordered. The edamame came out about 15 minutes from when we ordered it. Then we had 2 carpaccios, which came out in 15 and 20 minutes respectively (not horrible), and our rolls came out in about 30 minutes. We asked for some wasabi for the rolls, which never came. The waiter was so kind and had great energy, and I honestly don't blame him for any of this, but this place was woefully understaffed - one guy for the whole place just isn't a reasonable expectation. Be really did his best, and he even comped us a chocolate mousse because of the wait. Overall, we were seated there for around 2 hours. Now, let's get into the food. I want to start by saying that I don't think that I'm the target audience for this place. Their sushi seemed to have a spin on it that didn't line up with our expectations. The salmon carpaccio and scallop carpaccio were both cut kind of thick for a carpaccio, almost to the point where I'd call them crudos. The salmon was almost marinating in a kind of truffle sauce which, personally, I wasn't a fan of. It almost gave it more of a locks flavor which didn't work for me. The scallop was . . . Just straight up not what was on the menu, which confused me. It wasn't bad, but the flavor profile didn't balance. I found that it was too sweet and the scallop was overpowered. We both got the bluefin tuna roll, and we were surprised that it was 6 pieces instead of 8 as advertised. It was a really good roll, but I felt it needed some wasabi. I also loved the little pipette of soy sauce! It was so cute, but definitely only enough for 2 pieces and not the full set. My roll was also wrapped rather loosely, with the end pieces falling apart. One thing I will say is that all of the fish was amazing quality here, and again it tasted really good. Overall, I'd give this place a 2.5 if I could. I think they could definitely benefit from some more waitstaff. I also acknowledge that I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to sushi, so what I didn't love is probably ideal for a lot of other people! Would I go back? Probably not, but people seem to love this place, and I wish them many years of success. read more

Wanted to try a newer restaurant for my first 2025 magical dining experience. I made a reservation and came on a Saturday evening. I was immediately greeted by the hostess, who sat me in the requested sushi bar. I was immediately given the magical dining menu, which had the 3 course dinner for 40 dollars. I tried the croc tuna as the appetizer. It had sashimi tuna with a rice cracker crust with eel and bone marrow truffle aioli. I immediately smelled the truffle when it was given. The tuna was fresh and the rice cracker crust was unique. I enjoyed the sauces as the truffle was pretty strong. My dragon fruit mojito came afterwards (14 dollars), which was nicely presented with fresh dragon fruit on top. It was a refreshing drink, but I didn't really taste the sake, nor feel any buzz. It was pretty weak! For the main course, the rainbow roll was colorful with the white fish, salmon, and tuna on top. The filling was avocado, cucumber, and crab. I was very happy to see the used real snow crab instead of the imitation crab that other restaurants use. The snow crab made it much more flavorful. The other fishes were fresh and tender. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was presented oddly in a flat glass. Because of that, it looked more like melted ice cream. But it was still fluffy and chocolaty. It was quite rich though, so I took some of it home. The service was friendly, but felt rushed. I did enjoy that they did call me to confirm my reservation and asked in advance for seating requests. However, I noticed that my sushi came before I could finish the croc tuna, and the chocolate mousse came before I could finish the sushi. While I liked the very quick service, I think that would be better when having a power lunch, than a relaxing dinner. I think I was in and out in less than an hour. The seating area was quite small with just a few tables. There sushi bar was also small, but looked nice. I was surprised I didn't see a bar, so I have no idea how my cocktail was made. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a pre made or canned beverage with the restaurant adding some toppings. The noise level was pretty quiet that I could hear the cool lounge music in the background. I also noticed that the lighting was getting fiddled with as it got a bit darker during the night, but then they brighten it up again before I left. This restaurant is located in a small strip mall at Winter Garden. The restaurant is pretty small, and the strip mall is across the street from a Publix complex. This sushi restaurant tries to be an upscale and intimate dining experience in the Winter Garden area. While the sushi is pretty good, I am still spoiled by Kabooki Sushi, which is still my favorite sushi place. Also, the service was quite rushed and the drink wasn't strong enough for it to be in the A tier. However, it was still enjoyable to recommend and a nice upscale sushi restaurant in Winter Garden. I will visit again and try their other sushi rolls as well. Overall: B+ read more

Went to X sushi with my family to celebrate my birthday. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Food, taste, freshness, service exceeded my expectations. Everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious. Sushi was so fresh and clean tasting. Better taste than sushi I've had before and I've eaten sushi many times but apparently not at this quality. If you're a sushi lover you must try his place, really really high quality products. Server was attentive, the place was quiet and bathroom was so cute. We had the salmon car read more

The food is amazing! My daughter and I shared the spicy edamame, king salmon 3 ways, and Madre de dios. The food is incredible! The king salmon was prepared 3 ways - sashimi, sushi, and tataki served with the 2 year old Japanese soy sauce. This is a MUST try! Our favorite of the 3 salmons was the tataki - the sauce was very flavorful and smoky - we will be getting this again! The Madre de dios was made with yellow tail hamachi on a bed of coconut cream- it was refreshing and tasty! Nice and light compared to the salmon. Will be ordering this again! The service was great! Very attentive. The ambiance could use some work. It's a small place so everything is enhanced when you walk on. The first thing I noticed was the empty, dirty tables that was not cleaned up - even though it looked like the guests have been gone awhile. The music was way too loud and popping on a Sunday evening in a small space. Place looks like it fits no more than 30 people. For this reason, I'm giving it a 4 star. read more

I found one! I'm ALWAYS searching for a dish that EVERYONE must try!! This is one of the best things I've ever eaten. The restaurant is X Sushi in Winter Garden and the dish is "Croc Tuna". It's Big Eye Tuna with a crunchy coating of Japanese rice cracker balls sitting on truffle bone marrow aioli and eel sauce. I would pay top dollar just to take some of the sauce home! We also had some Blue Fin Tuna fatty belly Nigiri that was just excellent and a Hamachi Collar app that was interesting but a little over cooked. Miso soup, hot saki and a volcano roll rounded out the meal. We both thought the bill would be over 200 but were very happy and surprised that the total was only 103 before tax and tip! The Croc is a MUST TRY!! Anna did a great job as our server; excellent service, very friendly and super cute! Great combo. The only things that kept me from giving this 5 stars: The Hamachi was overcooked so it was chewy and a little too fishy for my taste, the Volcano roll was too heavy on the cream cheese so the Salmon got a little lost but we will be going back. read more

4.9 stars with 29 reviews as of the writing of this one. WOW! And well deserved. This is literally a hidden gem nestled in a small strip mall in Winter Garden, FL off of SR 50. Hard to believe someone was bold enough to know "if we build it they will come". And they/we have. This charming restaurant boasts sheer ambiance coupled with superb service and quality sushi. Now, there is a premium to pay for it, but it's worth it. Next time you're in the mood for sushi and want to a great dining experience check out X Sushi - you won't be disappointed. read more

Made my mother that much happier on her birthday. Parking lot is a bit small. There's alot of reserved spots for each of the stores. If you haven't been, make a stop here for dinner!

This place was very amazing. After a day of strawberry picking and on the way home, running into some car trouble. The car broke down, not too far from this place and it was on my wife's list of sushi places to try. We walked into the place, wife, 2 kids and me and we were not dressed for the evening. It was a Saturday night around 6:30 and we were seated without a reservation at a giant round table that could easily fit eight. The staff was very attentive and explained any questions we had. If you come there for the evening hours from 7 to 9, I would recommend a reservation. The place to me looked like the max capacity at around 30 people which includes the bar. The menu is definitely interesting as it had variety of options. The specialty menu was definitely something to try, but with picky kids we weren't really able to run through it. The place did accommodate my youngest sushi roll request, which was not on the menu. They do not have the typical California or Philadelphia rolls. But they did make the standard role for my kids. The scallop carpaccio as well as salmon carpaccio was very good. Miso soup was ok. We also ordered Tuna Pizza which uses Bluefin Tuna. We have not had this dish in a very long time and to find a place that did do this was great, and it tasted amazing. I'm not a fan of olives, but eat it and would ordered a second round. I would definitely return to this place and bring a few friends when they come to visit. The only nuance is that it is 45 to 50 minutes away from our house, but it's still worth the drive as an occasion. read more

I decided to visit X Sushi in Winter Garden, FL. This new restaurant in the area had great reviews and a tempting menu. The ambiance was modern, and the staff were very friendly. While the menu offered a good variety, I focused on sushi and sashimi for the evening. The food was fresh, expertly prepared, and each bite was a burst of exceptional flavor. My favorites were The Bomb and the Surf n Turf Roll, but everything served was excellent. This was one of the best sushi experiences I've had in a long time, and I'll be back soon to try more. I highly recommend checking out X Sushi. The Bomb - Japanese Wagyu A4 Truffle Nigiri topped with Quail Egg and Caviar Volcano Roll - Deep Fried Roll with Salmon and Cream Cheese. Topped with Snow Crab, tempura Flakes and House made Eel Sauce. Surf 'n' Turf Roll - Lobster, hearts Of Palm, Tempura Flakes. Topped with Wagyu and Truffle Bone Marrow Aioli.

High end sushi dining in Ocoee! Who would have thought? The first thing you notice walking into X is the stunning decor, including a custom build-out, fanciful hanging lights, and bold artwork covering most of one wall. There are an assortment of tables sizes, all elegantly set. Surprisingly, although sushi is prepared at an open counter, there is no sushi bar seating. The quality of the fish here is what it's all about. The menu claims it is all from the Tokyo Seafood Market, and that's easy to believe. The Sashimi Moriawase selections were as good as any I've had in Orlando's high-end expensive sushi restaurants. Speaking of expensive, that fish comes at a cost, of course. Whether there is a market for food at this level in Ocoee is a question, but I hope so. You won't find better. read more

Service was slow on a Monday night - about 40 minutes wait. Sushi rolls are pretty expensive, about $20 each. For that money expectations are a bit high, but the rolls were disappointing. They didn't taste like anything special. For that kind of price it was also disappointing that the crab they use is imitation crab. I tried 3 different rolls, all were just meh! Dessert wasn't bad but tiny. Decor is interesting, it has some nice touches such as lamps and the bathroom walls are fun, but it also feels like something is missing. After spending $145 here and not enjoying the food as much I don't think I'll be back. read more

Dorothy, we're not in Winter Garden anymore. The only question I have is how did I not find this place sooner? This place has ruined sushi for me like book boyfriends ruin... I can end my review there. But I'll tell you why it was a fabulous experience. From, the food and service to the ambience and music selection, even to the bathrooms, I felt like I was completely transported to a boutique sushi bar in New York or Chicago. This is hands down the best sushi I've had in Orlando, and well worth the price tag. The ingredients are just top-notch, high quality, freshly imported seafood like nowhere else. The servers are on top of their game and know the menu in and out. The flavors just absolutely explode in your mouth. Every bite is a thoughtful masterpiece. I wouldn't expect this elevated experience to be found in a strip mall in WG, but don't let the outside mislead you. It's the inside that counts here! read more

I'm so glad I stopped in here, it is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to in Winter Garden. The fish taste fresh, and they have several options for sashimi lovers and those that don't want rice. The fish is cut in thick slices, thicker than most restaurants I've been to. So you get a lot for the price when you consider how thick the fish is. The cocktails are delicious. The alcohol isn't over powering, but you can taste it in the drink. A nice balance of alcohol and sweetness. The chefs and the waitress were so friendly. The made wonderful recommendations. The restaurant is small, quiet, with music that fades into the background. It is nice for an outing with a few friends or a date. I will definitely be back! Pictured in my review is the bluefin tuna roll, croc tuna, king salmon, and scallop ceviche. I paired my food with the mojito and a frozen cocktail. read more

X sushi is exactly what Winter Garden needed! X sushi is not only a sushi restaurant, but a dining experience from the moment you walk in the door. The ambiance in the restaurant and decor is noticeable as soon as you walk in the door. You would never expect that from the location, but it is a hidden gem. Very contemporary and perfect for any date night. X sushi offers fresh wasabi, which we have not found at any other restaurant in the Orlando area. Our server freshly grated the wasabi root itself at our table and offered us more as we enjoyed our rolls. Natural wasabi has a pepper taste and is nothing like the "wasabi" you get at other sushi or competitor restaurants. The ginger here is also made in house and is perfect for cleansing you pallet in between rolls and dishes. Hands down the best volcano roll we have ever had. First off, it was served immediately as it was cooked. Temperature was perfect. Chefs use fresh ingredients and fish shipped in fresh, never frozen and topped it off with real krab, instead of krab delight, making this an experience in itself. We also tried the ultimate spicy tuna roll which had a beautiful blend of salt, acidity, and texture from the bube are which made this stand out from other spicy tuna rolls. The chef sent us some salmon belly hand rolls and our waiter educated us on their barrel aged soy sauce which they age for 2 years and which elevated the taste for a beautiful pairing. The quality of the salmon was perfect and melted in your mouth. Our favorite roll was the Otsu roll, which was recommended by our server. The torched medium rare salmon ok top accompanied by the truffle garlic aoli on top was simply like nothing we have ever tasted before. This roll is so different and was great as our last roll to finish off a spectacular dinner. If I could rate X sushi higher than 5 stars I would. Between the ambiance, fish quality, and service (knowledge on menu, attentiveness) my husband and I can't wait to come back and look forward to trying new things next time! read more
