    Salmon Combo Philadelphia Roll Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Olivia V.

    yum yum yum! this sushi is truly fresh! i've thoroughly enjoyed each dining experience i've had here. the wait staff is very accommodating and the sushi is served relatively quick. they have some cute studio ghibli art on the wall, which i enjoy, and many booths for seating, which is great!

    Shrimp Yaki Udon
    Thomas T.

    Went on October 16 to celebrate Boss' Day with work team. I ordered the Shrimp Yaki Udon, rice noodles with shrimp and vegetables, stir fried in a yaki udon sauce, $18. The serving was big enough that I was able to have the rest for lunch the next day. The yaki udon sauce adds great flavor to the dish and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The decorations and restaurant is very calming and welcoming. The noise level was low and made conversation possible. Even though we went at lunch, they were not busy and placed the seven of us at one table, which was a little cramped. We should have asked to move to another area with more space.

    We had a party of 13 come in and loved it. Seated all together. Food and drinks came out with good timing. Love our server Cece and Chef Tim is amazing! It's also fun that it's in downtown Celebration where you can sit outside and enjoy the bustling town and lake view. Sushi is crafted with care. Talented team and Delicious food!

    I've been here twice, and I loved it! The food is incredible and the waitstaff couldn't be nicer (my waiter was a huge help in opening the ramune bottles). Great place!!

    Incredible sushi spot in Celebration, FL! It's the perfect stop after a park day at Universal or Disney. My cousins, my sister and I stopped by after our long Universal day and it was perfect. They had such fresh sushi and sashimi. I definitely recommend ordering their Nigiri Set. The price is a steal for the quality of sushi you get. This is definitely my favorite sushi spot in Orlando that I've tried so far. We shared a bunch of the small plates and then ordered the Nigiri Set and a few rolls to finish out our meal. For appetizers my favorites were the Tuna Guac and the KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). The chicken had such a delicious gochujang sauce and was fried perfectly. Tuna is my favorite so the Tuna Guac definitely stood out to me. The Man of the Year roll was my favorite since it had lobster tempura and wagyu. If you want a good dinner spot after a long day at the parks, definitely stop by, you won't regret it. The food was incredible and I'll definitely be back regularly! Don't forget to order some of their beautiful cocktails as well. Thank you to the staff for their hospitality. Go check them out!

    Beef Yakisoba
    Julie P.

    This is my favorite spot in Celebration downtown. A cute Japanese restaurant that has something for everyone. We ordered gyoza, 2 sushi rolls and the beef yakisoba. The gyoza was cooked perfectly with a nice pan fry sear and steamed perfectly to the bite. It had a great pork filling with a soy/vinegar sauce. My husband got the tnt sushi roll and the California sushi roll. The tnt had some crunch, heat, cool, it was just a bomb in your mouth. The wasabi was real wasabi and not the horseradish mix that some places get. The other roll was a California roll. The beef yakisoba was delicious. Egg noodles was cooked perfectly with a tangy sauce and the vegetables had a nice bite to it. Our waitress, Melia was great. She was so kind and checked up on us without being overbearing. Absolutely loved the food, ambiance and experience. The patio is also dog friendly!

    Spicy salmon and Alaska crunch rolls

    Tasty sushi. Great service and nice atmosphere. Gluten and diary allergies were easily accommodated.

    My family just moved to celebration a few months ago and have been meaning to check this place out. We are able to walk to this restaurant so that's always a plus! We chose to dine indoors due to oncoming inclement weather. Service was fast and friendly. Food was decent, however I was disappointed with the Miso Soup. No tofu, mushrooms and just a tiny sliver of a green onion. The rolls were great, however the tempura in the tempura shrimp roll was barely noticeable in the main roll pieces. Key Lime dessert was good and came with tempura noodles covered in chocolate sauce. Prices were decent, especially for the area. I will be back here again and try the sweet sesame salad instead of the soup.

    Wife and I were in Downtown for an evening stroll. New to the area wanted to try something different. Saw this place and dropped in for an early dinner. We sat on the patio and was immediately greeted by our server Tae. She was a breath of fresh air and an absolute delight welcoming us to the neighborhood. Being from Celebration she was able to give us a pleasant lay of the land. When we finally ordered we got the tempura. What a great plate. Lightly battered and the veggies were so delicious. If your in the area this is a place worth checking out. Stop by for the service and stay for the food!

    Beef yakisoba
    Hannah M.

    I've been an enthusiastic customer of Ari since before its rebranding, and I'm grateful they didn't take my favorite items off of the menu. My usual order is the gyoza (pan-seared) appetizer and the beef yakisoba. Spending $26 can seem like a lot for two items, but the flavors are really out of this world! Every entree also comes with a miso soup or house salad with ginger dressing. There is bar, booth, and regular table seating inside. The outdoor patio also has smaller tables in a covered area. There isn't a private lot to park in, so I suggest coming early to either snag one of the few parallel parking spots outside or walk from nearby residential street parking down the road. They do take reservations and are happy to fulfill to-go orders. I've done it multiple times with great results, though keep in mind that some dishes are supposed to be served sizzling or on special hot plates. This may impact the quality of your experience. Just a quick note on customer service: love the staff and their kindness! My friend had a skin condition that would've acted up if we had left in the rain, but the staff donated their umbrellas to keep her dry and trusted that I would bring them back, which I did later that evening. It wasn't necessary, but it was very appreciated!!

    I have come here several times. The drinks are refreshing and the food is always quick, and delicious. The wait staff has always been pretty accommodating and kind. I love to sit outside. The view of the street and community and lake are quite a site especially right before sunset.

But every visit, the biggest issue has been the service. The servers come across genuinely rude and seem way more focused on their regular patrons while everyone else gets treated like an afterthought. It creates a really unwelcoming atmosphere that takes away from the experience. They also respond cruelly. And if there's a game on, good luck. The place gets insanely loud, people are yelling across the restaurant, and the patrons can be obnoxious enough that it's hard to even enjoy dinner or hold a conversation. The sushi is solid enough if you're already nearby, but definitely not the sushi vibe I look for.

Chicken tasted fresh and flavorful with the sauce, although it could've used more char. I appreciate the fried rice used leftover sushi rice and veggies from the day prior. I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my visit. My host was most perceptive by seating me near the back facing a tv playing 80s music videos. It was a pleasure to watch those music videos while I ate my food, and rare to find a place playing something other than sports on every screen (other screens were playing sports).
