5 star update for one of my go-to lunch spots! Whenever I have a business lunch meeting and want to impress my guest, I always suggest Maki Hibachi. They have great lunch specials and the ambiance is elevated and chic. The service is always quick and top-notch. I'm always surprised by how many people have not been here yet. I guess it's kind of a hidden gem (hidden in plain sight). Parking is easy in the covered garage around back and a big plus that they're open on Mondays. I always struggle to find good lunch spots open on Mondays. I love their NY strip hibachi lunch with noodles and veggies. My favorite apps are the hamachi kamikaze and the tataki (beef or tuna). You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! read more

I always forget Narcoosee restaurants. On this particular day, we didn't plan to go here, but ended up here. They have everything from nigiri to sushi to curry and hibachi and things in between. If you're dining with a child the experience is literally everything. Our server really made our lunch on a Saturday, more than we imagined. She started with a high five, was patient, knowledgeable, and even had a conversation with my son about the menu. Also, the lunch prices, are extremely fair. I ordered way too much, but I wanted to try what I wanted to try. I had a cute little sparkling saki, peppers for app and then ordered a rainbow roll and a hamachi lover roll. I was also so full mid roll through. There is ample seating and honestly the setting is way modern and classy for a "plaza" type vibe so dont let that set you off. I love Narcoosee/ lake Nonas up coming food scene and glad I live close enough to experience it. read more

Tried the Love Moriawase at Maki Hibachi and it was honestly such a solid choice. It came out on a wooden boat and looked amazing right away. You can tell they put effort into the presentation. The sashimi was super fresh and thick cut. Everything in general tasted fresh and well put together. Amy was our server and she was great. Really friendly, checked on us at the right times, and made the whole experience easy. read more

Maki Hibachi - Love Moriawase - Japanese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Went here yesterday expecting great things and we were rather disappointed. I got a NY Strip Hibachi, medium rare. It came medium well to well done. The miso soup was barely warm. However, the ginger salad was delicious! Hubs got a bento box with the teriyaki chicken and it was dry and over cooked as well. The noodles had good flavor. Our server seemed to get busy after delivering our food so we couldn't really bring the issue up to him since it took awhile for him to come back. Overall we were really underwhelmed with this place after all the great reviews. read more

We stopped in for lunch. First I want to compliment the service. They held the door open for us to enter. The pace of the meal and follow-up was great. We chose the sushi-sashimi combo which was six sashimi, three nigiri and a spicy tuna roll. This comes with soup or salad and we chose to get both so paid a $3 ala carte charge. The miso soup was warm and the broth flavorful. They make their ginger salad dressing in house and it was so good my friend took home a container. The fish was very fresh and it was a lot for lunch so I took my tuna roll home with me. We had a good meal and I look forward to eating here again. read more

Honestly the most underrated sushi spot in Orlando, and sad I didn't know about it sooner. The sushi is so fresh and the proportion to rice to fish is unreal especially for affordable it is even in this economy. We got the spicy tuna spicy salmon hibachi yellowtail and crunch roll and every single piece was so good. You didn't even to add soy sauce or any dip with it. We ordered to go rice hibachi for my dad and it was also delicious. Overall, I'm was extremely impressed with the quality, service and taste of the food. Will definitely be back read more

What a wonderful data night. I wanted Hibatchi but did NOT want Kobe's. This was much better, flavors were amazing, service was great, the space is cute and cozy, and the food was a 10! The Crispy Rice Tuna was AMAZING! I LOVE sushi, and Tuna tartar but haven't had anything this good before. We will be back for sure to bring the kids. Oh and the Yum Yim Sauce....YES YES YES! read more

Update: came back for the Nigiri plate. I would not recommend. It was just 5 different types of fish, sliced WAY too thick, cut in half on rice. There was nothing other than the thick fish and rice. We were really disappointed, hoping there would be a sear or a butter or a mayo, to make the pieces unique, but there was nothing. Would NOT recommend the Nigiri read more

It was my mother-in-laws bday and we asked if they could sing happy bday. They had ran out of candles for the day and one of the employees, AJ, went above and beyond to go buy candles just for us! The food was delicious, fresh, fairly priced and obviously the service itself was amazing. The vibe is super chill with lo-fi music that's not distracting. I definitely reccommend eating here. We will be back!! read more

Really lovely decor in an odd location (ground floor of the storage facility on Colonial at Magnolia). It was recommended to us and we checked it out on a Monday for lunch. We were three adults and two kids and we were actually impressed with the quality and service. The kids both ordered from their kids menu and got a protein with noodles. They both gobbled them up. The adults shared the calamari appetizer and three sushi rolls and everything was fresh and delicious. It wasn't the most amazing sushi I've ever had, but it was solid and I'd for sure recommend this spot! read more

Overall, this place is great! I have come here for lunch twice and have gotten a seat immediately every time. The restaurant is always busy and has such a great vibe to it. Once seated, I most often order some edamame. I have tried both the salted and spicy, but I definitely prefer a kick. I love the lunch special because it allows you to have options. Typically, I'll choose sushi rolls, because..why not? Their rolls come out relatively quickly from ordering, but you get a lot of pieces so it's definitely filling. I ordered the steamed potstickers once and they were not really anything to write home about. They were a little flavorless, which is one reason for a docked star. I probably wouldn't order them again. The parking is really really tough, so be wary of that. Overall though, the restaurant is definitely worth going to for lunch and for sushi. The staff is super nice, too. read more

Yummy hibachi with choice of rice or noodles. The menu is quite big and their sushi is good. Kinda wish there was more shrimp but otherwise good food. The ambiance is very cute read more

This is a hidden spot for a good lunch downtown. Considering the parking situation when going downtown, traveling closer to Colonial is a good move to go here. There's always street parking and the food is great! A group of four of us went and had no complaints. The portions are perfect and I have so much I had to take it back to the office. It was promptly devoured later that day. The service is great. I didn't take pictures of my nigiri but the sushi is fresh and tastes great. A smaller portion than I would prefer for the price point but definitely cut to order. I want to go back and visit again to try some of their other offerings but if you're looking for a group lunch place, they definitely have the space and parking to accommodate. read more

Went to the Lake Nona location and this place is a gem! The sushi at Maki Hibachi is one the best we've had in Orlando. I ordered the Urban Sashimi which came with fresh and thickly sliced 18 pcs and sushi rice. And best of all, it won't break your wallet. We're going to try the East Colonial location next. read more

The fish was very fresh! Price is reasonable. I would come again. I would recommend adding sauce. The server let me add the garlic sauce and spicy mayo. Service was good! The ambiance is ok, the lamps on the table were rusty. I don't really care about that that much though because it's a casual restaurant. read more

It seemingly looks like a small portion, but I was actually struggling to finish it! The service was nice and the restaurant is unexpectedly nice inside, despite the outside appearance. read more

Easy to find and there is parking in front of and near the restaurant. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I love the decor! Natural tones of greens, gold and grey with modern Asian flare. I had arrived around 1:30 and I expected it to be busier, but it wasn't at first... then about 45 min later it was totally full! I guess I came at the right time. The menu looks great and they are competitive with the other sushi resultants in the area. They do have a cold and hot appetizers on the menu that are delicious!! I had the gyoza and crispy tuna, both generous portions. I also ordered 2 rolls. The Slammin Salmon and the Orange Bowl. AJ (my server) was fantastic! If you're in the area, try out this locally owned business! read more

This place has amazing reviews and evidently very loyal customers, so we gave it a try. Service was indeed phenomenal. All the food came out quickly and honestly, our server was fantastic. I'd give just him 5 stars. AJ! The food, however.. Pricing is unlike most of the other sushi/ habachi places around, which is nice it's definitely affordable! Remember though - you do get what you pay for. Personally, the fish was fishy. I got the insanity roll with 5 different fish but I always have different combinations of fish in my rolls, and this was just extremely fishy. My fiancé got the steak and scallops hibachi and his steak was rubber. It was not good at all. There are no cocktails on the menu, just beer and sake , which I understand! Place is very nice inside, smaller than I imagined, but nice. I bring up the no cocktails because I just don't understand the wow factor here .. Nothing stood out to me. At all. Maybe just the service. AJ was truly very involved, communicative, comfortable, efficient and sweet. I'd love to have more people like him around ! I guess I'd try again for lunch. The lunch menu is very appealing , price- wise. read more

Ok guys, so after hearing so much from my friends of how much they love this place... I decided to try it out for myself. Now, let me just tell ya'll... Maki Hibachi came through with that fresh sushi!! It was the perfect spot for my birthday dinner. The restaurant is located within a mini strip plaza on colonial. Where you could definitely find plenty of parking located in the back garage as well as the front along the street. The decor on the inside was super modern and upscale and well put together. There was also a good amount of tables within the restaurant itself and we were sat immediately. For the drinks, we ordered a large hot sake which was less than $10 and big enough for the 3 of us to share. I also ordered the lychee smash green tea... and boy... that is hands down a must try! It was soo light and refreshing. For the food we ordered a few rolls, including a volcano roll and lobster roll. Not only was it super fresh but the presentation ya'll... was beautiful! The surf and turf hibachi came with noodles, veggies, steak and our choice of seafood (scallops). I was a bit iffy at first, since I usually am not a big hibachi fan at other places...but I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty and large the portions were. We even added on a side of fried rice for like $4 bucks more! Now of course we can't forget to talk about the service. Our server was superb... he was a younger guy, I can't seem to recall his name but he was very attentive and gave us really good recommendations. Overall I really enjoyed this spot... I think I might even have a new regular sushi spot to go to now. read more

Maki Orlando is a cozy little hibachi and sake spot that's perfect for groups. I tried the sea scallops hibachi, which were tender with a delightful sear. My scallops came with the Mount Everest of fried rice. They don't hold back on portions, so go hungry! The staff keeps the energy lively. If you're looking for a solid spot that combines good food with a social vibe, Maki Orlando could be your next spot. read more

I have nothing bad to say about this place and it is my absolute favorite place to get hibachi. Everyone who works there always has a smile on their face from the waiters to the chefs making sushi behind the counter, everyone is very kind. We got there right when they opened and didn't wait long before getting our food. The food is always a hit and always tastes just as good as the last time. The space is not that big of a location but still has plenty of seating and i like the open concept of the kitchen where you can see your food being made as well. read more

First time visitor! My boyfriend and I went for lunch on a weekday. The first thing we loved is the clean, modern aesthetic. We ordered the Mexican roll, Spider roll, and two hibachi chickens with fried rice. The food was very fresh and came out quickly. Only knock I can give this place is that they no longer offer the milk tea bliss despite having it on their menu -- bummer! We will definitely be returning. This is one of our new favorite sushi spots in the Orlando area. The quality and price point is unmatched read more

Ive been a bit of a sushi snob after giving sushi saint and Norigami a try so its been really difficult for me to find sushi rolls that I can enjoy again. My MIL was craving sushi and it took some time for me to research some good sushi for lunch as most good sushi spots only open for dinner. But low and behold... MAKI HIBACHI HIT THE SPOT. Upon entering it was alittle ackward, it was 11:30 so I understand we were the first customers of the day, but we stood up front and waited a bit until we were acknowledged. Once we sat, our server was amazing. She was super sweet and attentive. The bento box I ordered for my 2 year old was HUGE. He devoured everything (but the salad which had some of the best ginger dressing ive tried aside from Thai cafe). The sushi rolls were freaking incredible! I was extremely impressed. Presentation, flavor and VALUE. I finally found a great lunch spot for sushi. The thai tea was so good too. I usually make it at home and they hit the mark. It wasnt overly sweet like most places. The building itself is beautiful. Very chic and upscale. Great spot for dates and girls night. We definately added this to our list of places to bring friends and family. read more

Maki Hibachi - Poke bowl and assorted sushi - Japanese Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Started off strong, the calamari and miso soup were really good. The calamari was just crispy enough to give it that perfect crunch. After that however, everything took a turn. Ordered a volcano roll, which looked beautiful, never seen sushi served like that. Excitedly look a bite only to bite into a hard piece of salmon. Okay, pushed that aside, took a bite of the actual sushi and yuk. Idk why it just was not good. Moved on to the main meal, chicken and scallops, once again, beautiful presentation, took first bite, chicken was really dry, like almost inedible. The noodles were fine and the veggies and scallops tasted good but the dry chicken really put a damper on the meal. All and all, an average experience. read more
