Sushi
Nor P.

Absolutely amazing experience at the BluWave Sushi restaurant last week. The food was stellar and our server, Gabriella, absolutely made our night. Her bubbly personality, and the recommendations she gave us elevated what would have just been another night out into an amazing experience in Orlando. Definitely try and get seated in Gabriella's section if you want to have an energetic and fun experience. We had drinks, ChuToro, Unagi, and a few other items. Absolutely the best sushi I've had in a very long time. Highly, highly recommend!

Good sushi. Friendly staff. Solid spot downtown for affordable sushi. Tried the takoyaki for the first time and didn't care for it. Very soft and mushy in the middle with very small pieces of octopus. Outside not as crispy as I thought it would be. Just not for me. Every hand roll I've tried has been very good.

Another downtown Orlando restaurant, formerly Amura in the Sun Trust Building. We came here for a co-worker's goodbye lunch. The decor has changed since the last time we were here. Personally, I found it to be a little dark, but the food was delicious and service was attentive and friendly. They do have several lunch specials, and I was gifted a handroll for checking in on Yelp. Will be back.

Went here with a couple friends after a concert, vibes here look perfect for a romantic dinner or for a spot to relax late at night, everyone here is attentive and kind and seem to know some regulars. Our sushi was delicious! I got the volcano roll and enjoyed it, the tempura cheesecake was good minus the red shaved ice part, that part was too sweet and didn't balance the blue icecream and cheesecake. Would come here again for a date night :)

So I have to say this sushi restaurant is super cute. They have an adorable area for a fun photo opp. The staff was very friendly and super helpful when asking about menu options. The food itself was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The apple Crisp was such an interesting spin instead of having a traditional rice roll. However, the prices were quite high especially for lunch for 6 small pieces. My hope is that they come up with a lunch menu in the future to compete with several of the other restaurants in the area.

I really loved this spot. The decor is great!

I'm so glad we were downtown and went to a comedy show which ended up having us find this little hidden gem. They're new to the area and I'm sure this will be the first of many visits. The hand rolls had a really nice amount of ingredients and the fish tasted really fresh. I was surprised to see they had bluefin and had to get a couple pieces. The Otoro quite literally melted in my mouth. If you haven't had it before, I highly recommend trying it here. They have it for a great price. We were seated almost immediately and our server was quick and very friendly. He explained that they had only opened a month prior and different parts of the menu. Inside is Instagram worthy. If you're coming here with the girls, I'd recommend dressing up so you can get some really cute shots. I love the way the sushi bar lights up and it gives a really cool vibe. If you're in the area and looking to get a couple hand rolls, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. I can't speak on behalf of the sushi rolls, but the table next to us of ladies seemed to love every bite. I'll have to get a roll or two next time.

Apparently Libra just assumed the bohemian Yelp page because it has my review and pics from…read morebohemian. Anyways- we went for a birthday dinner and easily got a table for three of us. The place maybe had two other tables but they got a few more as the evening went by. Our server was Adele, she was great. We started with the tuna and shared that across the table- nice wonton crips, a lot of good sized tuna and some stringy carrots that made it a little difficult to scoop. I had a cocktail (Dover shores- some gin with passion fruit, was good) and the ladies had wine. Emily's wine wasn't good; sounded like it was spoiled? She said it tasted like vinegar. So I asked Adele to just swap it out with something else, and she did. The new glass of wine was much better. We all went with the magical dining menu. They had the short rib and I had the noodles w shrimp. All the dishes were good. For the apps we had the she crab soup- too sweet for me, the salad- standard fare, and the pork belly which was the standout item. Good portion and crispy! Desserts were not typical- some version of a key lime pie which came like ice cream in a cone, some version of a cheesecake which they said had a strange texture and not too sweet. Despite the comments, they ate their whole desserts and I took mine home for the hubs, since I didn't care for any of them. I had the parramore cocktail instead- very good. They have revamped the whole menu. I think they will be ok. Parking is $15 for 3 hours of valet. There is a garage across Orange for $16 as long as you want. Dress is business casual or better for dinner.

Stopped by for a quick lunch with my mom. This place was pretty easy to find. You can park along…read morethe street or in the garage which it is attached to. They have a little sign by the street to help you find it/advertising, as it's in the hallway of the plaza. It's on the ground level so we didn't have to take any stairs or elevator. Upon entry, there was no one to greet us. We headed to the register where they had a bunch of menus and pictures. While we were looking, the lady came out from the back with food items for someone who was already seated. Everything looked good. There was a guy waiting for his order to go, another guy waiting to eat by himself, and another lady also waiting to eat by herself. There was some interview going on between two guys- sounded like it was about the restaurant as I heard them talking about kimchi fried rice. It sounded so good, I ordered that with shrimp. Mom had the bento box lunch. We asked for two cups for water, which she said she would bring to us. We sat for awhile, and saw the others and the to go person get their food. The water cups did not come until after she brought us our food. Maybe that's the way they do it? Anyhow- our food was out in a reasonable time and everything was delicious. I tried some of mom's beef bento box- she got the bulgogi beef and we were both a little shocked that it was ground beef and not thin slices, but the flavor was spot on. My mom did not finish her lunch and I had a small portion of rice left. When I asked for one to go box- the lady almost seemed upset that I didn't want two! She asked me what about my leftovers? To which I said my mom was taking everything in one box. lol. We don't like to waste and I wasn't going to toss mine but it seemed silly to get another box for the little bit of rice I had. So we put it all in one. We paid at the register and took our box. There are many more items on the menu I'd like to try. My mom was pretty impressed with the place. It's nothing to look at, really, but the food is good and she will probably bring her friends here for lunch.

New favorite happy hour spot unlocked!…read more I dined in this past Saturday for a friend's birthday. We were pleasantly surprised to find out happy hour ran until 7 PM and we had a 5:30 PM reservation. I ordered a sake-tini as well as a crazy coconut roll and two pieces of nigiri. I picked a few pieces off of my friends plate and thoroughly enjoyed the spicy tuna roll and the mango roll. Unfortunately I didn't realize the coconut roll had cream cheese in it, so I didn't enjoy that one that much. I also ordered a House Sauvignon Blanc, which I then realized later that it wasn't included in the happy hour. I wish the server would've informed me of this. The menu just said house wines, so I wasn't sure what was included in that. Nonetheless, everything was delicious and the service was very quick and Luna was fabulous! We parked in the parking garage which we thought cost three dollars an hour, but then we're charged $15 for only two hours of parking...Whack! There's also street parking nearby.

Great sushi and nice atmosphere! Located in downtown Orlando…read more Definitely will be going back - they have happy hour M - F till 7pm We had some incredible rolls- The spicy scallop roll was delicious. Their hamachi sashimi was great quality and good size. Definitely the best one we've had- and we get this every time. The yellow tail roll was fresh and the rainbow roll was also great. Lastly we got the kanisu roll which is a great no rice option. Look forward to going back!

They take our food order, and that comes out pretty quick too. Tofu bites, a really great salad, and dan dan noodles.

I got some kind of coconut non-alcoholic concoction, and it was delicious. Then we sat for a bit just to relax, and had to ask for the check - they were content to let us relax and did not pressure us to leave. By then it was at least 10:30.

Jernigan's is the restaurant located inside the Kia Center that's usually reserved for those with…read morespecific seating. I was fortunate enough to have some of those seats and thus got to try this out. It's a buffet style, and man can you go to town if you really wanted. Salad, fruit, smoked chicken, ham, veggies, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, a whole charcuterie section and more. Oh yeah and don't forget the ice cream sundae bar. They also wait on you at the tables, getting you drinks if you want though you could walk over to the bar as well. If it's before game time, you can walk in and be seated but as the game starts they usually want you to make a reservation. I have to say the coolest part was the view while dining here. It's on the 4th floor so you can sit and literally look out on the court. That was pretty neat.

We've been to this restaurant about four times. We like to eat dinner here as magic fans to watch…read morethe games, eat/drink, and be around good service. Our recent visit was no exception, thanks to our attentive and friendly server, Eric. However, the food is average and not the main draw. You're really paying for the overall experience, which includes all-you-can-eat and drink (beer, wine, and soda). At $105 per person, it may seem steep, but considering the prices at Kia center, it's somewhat a decent value. My one complaint is aimed at management who allow non-dining guests to enter the restaurant and dining area. By not creating a barrier, separating the area between the bar and dining area, people throughout the game kept walking to our table to video, watch and take pictures of the game, even though they did not have reservations to allow them in dining area. This poor control of guests who have no reservations can be distracting and intrusive. As someone paying $200 for a dinner and show experience, I don't want strangers hovering over my table or disrupting my meal. The dining area should be reserved for paying customers. Overall, this restaurant is a great choice for a fun and unique night out. Just be aware of the potential distractions, and hopefully, management will take steps to address this issue. Still, I recommend this restaurant for a date night or a hangout with friends!
