The turkey sandwich was better than the rosemary chicken, but the avocado tasted strange. It appears they are using the large avocados instead of conventional haas avocados.

It took several visits to Oksumi for me to realize just how special a place it is. Oh, make no…read moremistake, I knew that I liked it from the first visit, but it took a bit of reflection, and a bit of exploring the menu, for Oksumi's charm to really unfold, before me. Read other reviews, and the phrase "nothing fancy" keeps appearing. Another reviewer calls it "simple" and "to the point." This, right here, is the soul of Oksumi. It isn't a restaurant using the idea of ramen as a canvas for the ego of a chef looking to reinvent the dish. It is a ramenya, and its menu is a love letter to ramen. It does not need to uplift or reinvent ramen, because ramen is already perfect, as it is. One does not taste ego in Oksumi's dishes; one tastes respect, care, craftsmanship, and balance. Perhaps most importantly, one tastes every ingredient, and one tastes the role that every ingredient plays in the whole of one's ramen experience. As I explored the menu, as I tasted each element in my bowl, I found myself, again and again, noticing the quality of each element I tasted. The karaage is crisp, juicy inside, and its notes of melting fat aren't lost, even against a spicier base. The tonkotsu is silky upon the tongue, the shio clean but not at all simple, a subtle medley of salt, chicken, and the transparency needed to let the more delicate elements like the cilantro and bean sprouts express themselves, even as the fresh garlic and bonito express themselves more assertively. Oksumi's care and attention to balance encourages one to see these simple, elemental forms of ramen not as "basic" in the slightest, but as works of art expressed in their own whitespace. Approach the shio here not with the need for every space to be filled. This dish is a culinary Gokui no Uta. If you think there is something, there is nothing; if you think there is nothing, there is something. Over a fragile moment with calamari, in which I reflected that I had never once tasted a rubbery or greasy piece of squid at Oksumi, and in fact, had never tasted a *better* piece of squid, not even in my years on the California coast, it really came home for me. Oksumi is a place in which I stopped consuming, and started appreciating the "something-there." I wandered the menu, from tonkotsu black garlic (a flavor hurricane) to simple shio and the robustness of vegetarian Nagoya-style ramen, and let myself dissolve into the moment, into the Kai, the "something-there" that manifests when one's mind stops playing with its expectations and assumptions, and simply experiences. My happiest moments, as a diner, happen when a meal silences my unreasonable, arrogant, chattering mind, and brings me to a lighted door of experience somewhere between the late Leonard Cohen's semi-contrition and the late Anthony Bourdain's quiet confessionals in moments of being a stranger at a table. Again and again, I return to Oksumi, to understand what ramen *is*, and to humble my difficult, noisy mind to a level of quiet that can appreciate the Kai, the "something-there" that appears only when the mind is still, quiet, and allows itself to experience without a commentary track of judgment. Calling Oksumi "simple" is the highest praise one can pay it. Its ramen does not *need* adornment because its ramen is as adorned as ramen might ever need to be. Your attention is the substrate upon which Oksumi's elemental, straightforward ramen expresses itself. This place is an underrated treasure.

The food is outstanding--fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, comfort food is done right, and everything comes out hot and exactly the way it should. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really sets this Metro Diner apart, though, is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. You're never rushed, never ignored, and always checked on just enough to make the experience perfect. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a great cup of coffee and comfort food, Metro Diner Lakeland delivers consistency, quality, and hospitality every single time. Highly recommend--this is one of those places you keep coming back to because it never lets you down.

The whole atmosphere is exactly what you want -- clean, positive, chill, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ordering experience is so easy. There's a giant menu when you walk in, and then big touchscreen LCD menus that honestly feel like the food court screens at IKEA. Every restaurant should switch to this -- save paper, save plastic, and make life easier for everyone. I built my own bowl and grabbed the kale + Fuji apple smoothie. It's not a thick smoothie -- more like something between a juice and an icy -- but still really refreshing and really good. The bowls come in to-go boxes automatically, so you just ask for a lid if you need one. Super convenient. I highly recommend this spot. I don't eat out much, but I'd definitely go back. They even have an app now with $5 off your first order, which I'll definitely be using because the food was that delicious. As someone who has been vegetarian my whole life and fully vegan since early 2025, I can honestly say this place hit every single mark. Not one bad thing to say. It's that good.

If you are looking for healthy on the go, SoFresh has you covered!…read more It's such a task to find healthy and fresh food on the go. I'm so glad to have found this place. There's such a wide variety of healthy food. Here you will find kale, romaine, zucchini noodles, quinoa, brown rice, chickpeas, black beans cucumber, onions, tomatoes, carrots, nuts/seeds, raisins, avocados, eggs, goat cheese, lean cuts of beef, chicken, salmon and so much more. Since everything is cooked to order, you can customize, add, subtract and really create your own meal. There's a little something for everyone, from salad, wraps, bowls, juices, and even food for kids. I enjoy the fact that I can buy a few bowls to help with meal prepping for the week. It saves me time in the kitchen. Catering is also available so you can share healthy eating with others or utilize it to save money when you are trying to feed your family for a little less. The restaurant is a small but is accommodating with an indoor sitting area and also has a few tables and chairs for outdoor dining as well. Pick up is a breeze you prepay or use Uber Eats/Door Dash simply grab and go from the grab and go area. If you decide to order in the restaurant, you can either use the touch screen or place your order with staff at the register. I just wish there were more locations in Orlando and Kissimmee.

The Brisket was terrible: dry, chewy and needed bbq sauce to have any sort of flavor. The Okra was tender with a nicely seasoned crisp breading. The grits were savory with a nice grainy texture and cheese flavor. Overall a decent spot but skip the brisket.
