The food, the space, and the service, everything about it just feels right. Our go to is the chicken nanban udon easily a 10/10 every time. Flavorful, comforting, and always hits the spot.

Of the zensai (appetizers), I've tried the Tatsuta-Age, which was pretty tasty. Hot and crispy with good flavor. The udon is also top notch. They make it in house. Perfect chewy texture, what Taiwanese would call "QQ" I realized after my second visit that I still have not tried an udon with hot broth. I've tried the Spicy Miso Tan-Tan Udon, which was quite tasty, although a little on the richer/heavier side. I have also tried the Mentaiko Tsukimi Udon which was refreshing in the cold broth. I paired it with an add-on of sliced beef, which was delicious, they serve it on the side so you can add to whatever dish on your own. What I wouldn't recommend... The Viet Coffee with sesame foam and crushed sesame seeds was hard to drink. I loved the initial flavors but the foam got a little greasy and clumpy when mixed with the crushed sesame seeds, particularly toward the second half of the coffee. I wouldn't order it again. I would be interested to see any updates they've made recently but with so many new restaurants on Mills, I may choose those first.

Most impressive was the stir fry noodles which actually were cooked perfectly. Not slobbered with sauce. Not gloopy. They were almost dry as the sauce was absorbed into the noodles as it should be.

Overall I really really like this place for a mid priced Japanese place.

So I read the reviews of this restaurant and decided to give them a chance. When we went we noticed in was in a Plaza next to Walmart. As we walked in the greeting which was given made us feel comfortable. It's decorated very nice and it's clean. They have specials for your Sushi and Lunch Specials. We ordered Chicken, Steak&Shrimp, Steak and Chicken plus I added a Salmon on the side. The steak was over cooked for it to be medium, the chicken was flavorful and the Salmon was good but small in size. The rice was good but the Yum Yum sauce was everything. I'm very particular about my hibachi rice and it wasn't my best but it was okay. I do give them a 9 out of 10 though.

Only one bowl had regular rice while others had Brown Rice (marked with a B) which he informed me. I really wanted a salmon one but it didn't seem like it was made to order since he didn't offer to make one so I just picked up the Tuna one and went on my way. It was 9.99. The bowl had fresh tasting cuts of tuna mixed in a spicy soy sesame blend, edamame, seaweed salad, lettuce, carrots, half of a avocado over rice. I also asked for soy sauce and a little packet of Wasabi. The rice was like half of the bottom of the bowl. Everything was fresh and the rice as well. Lets talk about where Foodoko is located... Foodoko is INSIDE the huge VA building Patriots Cafe so it's not really a easy park and a few steps into the place. It'll take you to go through the gates and then go park either at the lot or in the garage to get to the cafe. Once inside look for the Patriots Cafe and it'll be towards the back of the cafeteria. The VA is a busy place taking care of lot of veterans so take into consideration when you want to venture inside. It a amazing building though. I think overall its a great addition to the VA cafe with better than grocery store sushi. I might swing by around to try a sushi burrito sometime.

The Open-Window Oasis: Maki Hibachi at Lake Nona…read more In a town where many sushi spots can feel like a roll of the dice, Maki Hibachi is the undisputed heavyweight champion of consistency. For me, a trip to Orlando isn't complete without a pilgrimage to this sanctuary of 'top-notch' Japanese cuisine. Walking inside, you're immediately struck by the aesthetic--clean lines, modern decor, and a vibe that manages to be both chic and welcoming. But the real entertainment is the open-concept kitchen. There is a certain culinary thrill in watching the chefs through the open window, knowing that the masterpiece headed to your table is being freshly made-to-order right before your eyes. On this particular mission, I brought my BFF along for her maiden voyage, and safe to say, she's a convert. While I usually pledge my undying loyalty to the Mango Tango--a dance of coconut shrimp and fresh mango--and the decadent Sexy Lobster Roll, we decided to be adventurous and recruited the Monster Lobster Roll into our rotation. It was exactly as the name implies: a delicious, tasty beast of a roll that didn't just meet expectations; it devoured them. Of course, the family traditions remained intact: my sister stayed true to her beloved, generous Bento Box, while my niece happily tackled her reliable mountain of rice and teriyaki chicken. The pro tip for fellow sushi fanatics? Timing is everything. Arrive for the 11:00 AM opening to witness the absolute peak of freshness, or catch them when they re-open at 5:00 PM after their 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM 'beauty sleep'. In a world of 'average' sushi, why would you go anywhere else when Maki Hibachi is consistently serving up excellence with a side of friendly service? In a world of conveyor-belt confusion, Maki Hibachi is my personal sushi sanctuary. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a 'top-notch' mission I make every single time I'm in Orlando. If you haven't been here yet, consider this your formal invitation to excellence.

Does that mean service was bad? No. But it was awkward and not as attentive as I have experienced in the past. This time in, they had a coconut shrimp special that was super yummy and I hope they make it permanent. The ramen is good, I ordered spicy curry and it was a little spicy but didn't really get a curry flavor. Would I go again, probably, but I might not make it special trip, only if I am in the area.

The uni toast was a fun and flavorful start, but the standout recommendation from our server was the honey truffle salmon... and wow, she did not steer us wrong. It was incredible, perfectly balanced, and one of the most memorable dishes of the night. That said, our absolute favorite was the wagyu gyoza. We both agreed it was the best thing we ate! It was so flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. We also tried the toro sashimi, king lime roll, and the A5 wagyu roll, and honestly, there wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy. Beyond the food, the service really made the experience. Emily was our server, and she was amazing. She was so positive, attentive, and helpful without ever being overbearing. My husband and I both noticed how great the service was, which really elevated the whole night.
