    Family enjoying New Moon!
    Varrick N.

    Strong recommendation. From our last visit, service was excellent as we enjoyed six rolls, edamame, salmon teriyaki and ahi bowl. The spicy edamame really sings and is worth the upcharge. We really liked the Godzilla roll, the dragon roll was a close second. Really, all the sushi rolls are pretty good and great for sharing. The salmon teriyaki was amazing, again. No restaurant in Lakeland does salmon as well. It's perfectly char-grilled & their teriyaki really works in the dish. The ahi bowl looked good, but my son wasn't sharing! The New Moon seems to improve each visit for us. If you're into craft beers, try some of the imported craft beers from Japan.

    Great service, food came out quick and was fresh. The only downside was they didn't have sweet tea.

    My husband and I decided to try New Moon Sushi for lunch based on their reviews and we are glad we did. We are planning on coming back for dinner one night. We arrived soon after they opened and were seated immediately. They have inside seating and patio, and it's nicely social distanced. The servers were very sweet and were cleaning up constantly. They became busier as the time went on and had a lot of to-go business. It was quite cute inside. We had the shrimp shumai for an appetizer and it was delicious. It came out fresh and hot, and it was shrimp but not fishy. My husband ordered the miso soup and the Godzilla roll and I ordered the lunch special: 2 rolls (Orlando & Eel) and soup (onion/clear) for $10. The soups were good. The miso was typical, if you like it, you'll like this one. The onion/clear one was surprisingly peppery and I really liked that surprise. Everything was fresh and delicious. I had to add the picture comparing the sizes of the three rolls. The Eel was a normal size, the Orlando more of a typical "American" size, and the Godzilla? Well, it was truly a Godzilla-sized bite! I laughed at my husband trying to eat that one, and then he gave me a piece and laughed at me. As I said, we are looking forward to returning one night for a dinner date and having a cocktail from their bar with our dinner.

    Sushi was ok. Service was outstanding. The restaurant was clean. Unable to sit at the bar due to take out and other items on it. The price seemed high. Would I go back? Good question.

    I've been here at least half a dozen times. Nice looking place. I like the vibe. Staff are friendly. They do takeout. Their sushi overall is fine. Imo sushi should be cooler. A little too warm for my liking. Still never got sick from it though. I would like if they added black seaweed to the menu and didn't grind up their fish super fine in the spicy rolls. Also tempura in a roll imo is better on one side instead of being mixed in. Tuna tataki is not the best. Need less time for sear, more pink, thicker slices and a crusted sear on the outside like a blackened pepper. Soy paper is an up charge, $1 I think. The soy paper needs to be rolled tighter or damp to hold the rolls together like seaweed. Chicken tempura could be larger pieces so not to be as dried out. This is not a cheap place so it's a little pricey. For the price and food I'd go to my other sushi place, but it's usually too far of a drive so I settle for this place. If they stepped it up a bit then I'd come here more often.

    What a great find! Sushi was absolutely amazing. They have a wide range of Japanese craft beer as well, who knew there were so many beers to choose from! I had the Hana roll which was amazing and the crunch salmon roll. They were equally so good. We also tried the Mexican roll and the mango tango roll. Did I mention they have a great selection of Japanese craft beer? I had a Japanese white ale, awesome. Definitely going back and you should give it a try.... my suggestion, Hana roll!!!

    Tunacado was very good, I would come back just for that Sushi rolls were good. Service was top notch, our server was very pleasant and fast.

    The Lakeland Roll
    Hunter M.

    I just realized I have never reviewed this restaurant and I don't know how! If you are looking for a sushi place in Lakeland then you found it. I have tried multiple sushi restaurants around here and this is my favorite! My favorite rolls are the volcano, Philly, and the Lakeland. For an appetizer, the tunacado never disappoints. The only thing we probably won't get again was the crab rangoons. The cream cheese was all melted and soupy with a grainy texture so we won't be ordering those again. They are on the pricier end but it's so worth it.

    WOW. This place is bussin.... My favorite place in the whole world. Their ginger dressing is to die for, IF YOU don't get the spicy edamame then it's your loss. The flavors will melt on your tongue, soy sauce chili explosion. The rolls. I can't. I can't even fathom how delicious they are. Out of this world. Eat here or just don't i guess? But your missing out that's for sure. The hana roll, lakeland roll. To DIE FOR. Check out these pics. So yum. Tip: Dip your ginger in their soy sauce, for the most savoy bite. Yum.

    Delicious sushi and great atmosphere. Such a cool place to hang out with friends, have a social date night, or go solo. Love the names that they have for sushi! From deep fried, fruit, and raw sushi all of it is good!

Unfortunately, the experience quickly turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. Our server, Eva, was extremely disrespectful and had an attitude from the beginning. I understand everyone can have a bad day, but the level of hostility we experienced was completely unacceptable. The menus we were initially given did not include a kids menu, so I ordered a lunch chicken special for my child. Later, after seeing my niece's kids meal arrive, I politely asked if I could switch my child's order before the food was made. Eva immediately told me "No." When I questioned her response, she called me an "asshole." Yes -- an actual customer was spoken to that way. I reported the issue to the manager expecting professionalism and resolution, but instead the manager was just as rude and disrespectful. When we asked for another server, he responded with profanity and hostility instead of trying to fix the situation. We were not asking for discounts or free food -- we simply wanted respectful service and a different server. After being told we were "more than welcome to leave," I did exactly that. The remaining members of our party -- a group of 21 people -- packed up and left as well. This was by far the worst restaurant experience I've had in Orlando. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant, especially for large parties or families looking to celebrate special occasions. Customer service and basic respect should never be optional.

    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.

    Well I thought I had a pic of my ramen bowl with extra noodles but alas I have failed. So you'll…read morehave to take my word for it that it was good. The staff are very polite and attentive.
