I stopped by Susuru for a solo dinner and grabbed a seat at the bar. The restaurant was fairly…read morebusy, but I was seated in under 15 minutes. Service was great throughout my visit, and the staff were attentive. The Susuru Gohan was fantastic and definitely my favorite dish of the night. It comes with a soy-cured organic raw egg yolk, sweet aged soy, onion, Japanese seasoning, and steamed rice. I added both uni and ikura, and everything paired really well together. I would absolutely order this again! Their drinks and cocktail menu is very extensive and I chose the Ultraman drink, which was great. It's made with Haku vodka, lime juice, cinnamon chai syrup, grenadine, cran-apple, and ginger beer, topped with a dehydrated apple and normally a limited mini Ultraman toy. They were out of the toy when I went, so they offered a $2 discount, which I didn't mind at all. For yakitori, I tried the Hiza Nankotsu (knee cartilage). Their skewers are prepared in-house and grilled over Japanese binchōtan charcoal, then finished with aged tare and served with Susuru citrus salt. The knee cartilage was good and had a nice crunchy texture. I also tried the Mi-So-Hot ramen which comes with pork chashu, a shoyu soft-boiled egg, corn, scallions, chili hair, and spicy miso broth. It was just okay for me. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with it, but nothing really stood out either. With so many other options on the menu, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Susuru! The attentive service made solo dining at the bar comfortable, and the Susuru Gohan was easily the highlight of my meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Food was mid and absolutely not worth the wait. I came on a Saturday night at 8pm and was told…read morethere would be an hour wait. I fell asleep waiting in my car after an hour goes by and went inside to check because I saw empty tables from the outside and had heard from the hostess. I told her that I had been waiting for over an hour and she said that there was about 4 parties in front of me. I went back outside to wait for less than 5 min and she called me in saying the table had cancelled so my table is now available. That was already a red flag - she totally forgot about me!!! After being seated, the waiter took literally 15min to even come acknowledge us because he was too busy talking to his friends at the next table. Tonkotsu black ramen - 3/5 (not flavorful) Miso-hot ramen - 3/5 (bland and not creamy) Tan tan men ramen - 3/5 (the flavors were there but the noodles were super soggy) Tempura king oyster mushroom - 2/5 (bland, thick and hard to chew. they should've cut it into thinner pieces) Karaage - 3/5 (flavorful but chucks were too big and had too much batter) Inner thighs yakitori - 5/5

I was very disappointed with our experience at Takumi-Tei. For a dinner costing over $650, I expected a true sushi omakase experience focused on raw fish. Instead, nearly every course was cooked, with only one piece of raw fish served. I consider myself to be an adventurous eater; however, had it been made clear beforehand, I would not have even considered booking this experience. The service also did not match the quality advertised. Our server disappeared for about 45 minutes, and despite asking multiple times, we could not get assistance. There were additional long delays before the final courses and before receiving the check. When the bill arrived, we were charged for something we had been told was included, and the interaction made us feel uncomfortable rather than accommodated. At the end of the evening, we were also stopped from leaving because an introduction was taking place. After spending over three hours there, we simply wanted to leave, especially after such a disappointing experience overall. Overall, the evening felt poorly managed and did not reflect the level of quality or hospitality expected at this price point. After the extended delays throughout the night, being prevented from leaving created an unnecessarily frustrating end to the experience and left us feeling agitated for hours afterward, which should not happen at this level of dining. I would have preferred the fantastic fish and chips in England for under $40 for two people. :)

The Lobster Singapore Noodles earned a B: nice, but fairly commonplace and not especially memorable. Service is always great, and the ambiance is very cool.

The portions were fine for us, and they can definitely be family-style so you can try more things. The prices are a little steep, but it's expected for the name and being in DS. We didn't go at a particularly busy time, but unfortunately sat right next to a loud party with kids yelling the entire lunch. It didn't ruin the experience, just a bit distracting. The shrimp was nice and crispy, had a good flavor that wasn't too spicy but also not bland, and had enough sauce so it wasn't dry. The duck was nice and thinly sliced, so it melted in the mouth. I am not a huge fan of poultry skin, but it wasn't slimy and tasted great in steamed buns, which were nice and fluffy! The buri-bop was amazing, and the presentation was informative and entertaining. Loved the tableside presentation, and definitely felt like it elevated the experience. Overall, it was yummy, and I would stop here again, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to seek out a reservation. Definitely more dishes I'd like to try next time!

Teppan Edo is an authentic Japanese hibachi restaurant inside Disney's EPCOT Theme Park at Walt…read moreDisney World. The resort opened in 1982, but Teppan Edo didn't open until October 2017. It was founded by the Japanese department store company Mitsukoshi, which was originally founded in Japan in 1673. The hibachi restaurant is featured in the Japan Pavilion which is part of EPCOT's World Showcase neighborhood. It replaced Teppanyaki Dining Room, which had been open since EPCOT opened in 1982. Like other hibachi restaurants, Teppan Edo features communal seating: each station seats 8 people. The menu consists of traditional Teppan-yaki stye cuisine that includes hibachi entrees, sushi, and various appetizers such as edamame and takoyaki. My family and I visited Teppan Edo for lunch this past summer while we were on a Walt Disney World Vacation. We visited with some family friends of ours and we were able to have an entire hibachi station to ourselves. To drink, I had a "Yuzu Lemonade" (w/ strawberry popping boba) while my wife had the "Iced Blood Orange" (gin w/ a hint of blood orange and sparkling water). Our friends ordered some sushi appetizers to share with us, including the "California Roll" (crab, cucumber, massage, avocado) and the "Volcano Roll" (chef-prepared grilled California roll topped w/ shrimp, scallops and volcano sauce). They were delicious! Everyone was served a garden salad ahead of their entrée; I love the tangy ginger dressing. We had a great hibachi chef who put on quite a show for everyone. I opted for "Chicken" as the main protein of my hibachi meal. Our entire party had a really nice taste of Japan! If you find yourself in Epcot and you enjoy Asian cuisine, definitely put Teppan Edo on your list!

The dragon roll was definitely my favorite and I loved the large piece of eel on top of the roll. While some of the rolls can feel heavy after a few bites, it was still pretty good. While we arrived a tad early, the hostess was able to seat us pretty much immediately and service was great. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing and immersive, offering an escape from the hustle and bustle of exploring the Disney parks. Shiki-Sai definitely makes for a unique and quality dining experience.
