We decided to go with regular seating, and we were the only ones sitting in that section at the time. The service was fast, and our server was super friendly! We started with the Golden Trio Sampler, which we rated a 5/5. One of the best crab rangoons we've had! The sampler was a great way to start our meal. We all ordered hibachi bowls for our entrees, and everyone rated theirs a 5/5 as well. The flavor was excellent, and the portions were generous. Everything tasted delicious, and we were all happy with our choices. We also tried the lemon drop and passion fruit margaritas, and both were a 5/5! :P The drinks were a great addition to the meal. Overall, we had a really good experience here. Between the flavorful food, generous portions, quick service, and friendly staff, this place definitely left a great impression on us. I would absolutely come back next time we're in Kissimmee!

She didn't just make us feel like customers she made us feel like family. Ruby went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and her personality made the whole experience even more special. Her attention to detail, great service, and genuine kindness really stood out. It's rare to come across someone who makes you feel this comfortable and welcomed. Ruby truly made our visit memorable, and we'll definitely be coming back to see her again! If you come here, ask for Ruby you won't regret it!

I absolutely love this place! They had a wait as expected on a Friday evening. They don't do…read morereservations, so keep that in mind. It's located in a shopping center and is loaded with vintage japanese decor. I love the overall ambiance of the place and is certainly a place I will come back to in Orlando. We were starving and decided to go with a tontoksu ramen to share and then lots of skewers. I unfortunately did not get a picture of the ramen but oh my goodness is was so good. The broth is a 12 hour broth and you can tell - it had so much flavor. Now for the skewers, we got the zucchini, shishito peppers, wagyu, chicken thigh, skirt steak, beef tenderloin, and prime NY strip. The chicken thigh, wagyu, and skirt steak were definitey my favorites! The chicken thigh was so flavorful and juicy, the wagyu melted in your mouth it was so tender, and the skirt steak had some chimichurri sauce. I loved how they had them all plated together. The service was great and our waiter was very attentive. I really wish I had room for dessert because the soft serve ice cream looked so good!

The food was fresh & hot, but the seasoning was a little mild for my taste. Service was fast, which was a plus. You order your food through a self-service kiosk & pay for it 1st, then they bring your food out to you. It's a pretty simple & convenient setup,although the lines can get long. Overall, the food was fresh, hot, & came out quickly. I just wish there had been a little more flavor in the dishes I ordered.

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. :)

Chicken tasted fresh and flavorful with the sauce, although it could've used more char. I appreciate the fried rice used leftover sushi rice and veggies from the day prior. I felt welcome and comfortable throughout my visit. My host was most perceptive by seating me near the back facing a tv playing 80s music videos. It was a pleasure to watch those music videos while I ate my food, and rare to find a place playing something other than sports on every screen (other screens were playing sports).

But every visit, the biggest issue has been the service. The servers come across genuinely rude and seem way more focused on their regular patrons while everyone else gets treated like an afterthought. It creates a really unwelcoming atmosphere that takes away from the experience. They also respond cruelly. And if there's a game on, good luck. The place gets insanely loud, people are yelling across the restaurant, and the patrons can be obnoxious enough that it's hard to even enjoy dinner or hold a conversation. The sushi is solid enough if you're already nearby, but definitely not the sushi vibe I look for.

The only thing I would complain about is that for the time we went it was not busy at all and our waiter took too long to check in with us / get refills / ask for items we needed. He was super sweet though and very nice so that was good. Gave us great recommendations. Food came out fast ! Definitely coming back and making this place our go to for sushi / Japanese food.

Both were exceptional and easily the highlights of the meal. The flavors were creative without being overdone, the seafood was fresh, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared. This place is a real treat for Orlando and absolutely worth checking out.

I began the evening with one of their hot-tasting items, the Wagyu Gyoza. It was so nicely flavored, with great texture. This could either be a shareable item or enjoyed alone. We also ordered the Negima (chicken breast) and the Spicy Argentinian Red Shrimp. I would order both items again. The chicken was moist and the shrimp was spicier than I expected, but oh so good! For our main entrees, I ordered the Miso Black Cod, and my husband had the Kyoto Paitan Ramen. The Ramen was well-seasoned, and the Cod was delicately plated, with crisp capers that added a layer of flavor. The House Strawberry Lemonade was refreshing, and the Okinawa Breeze was lightly sweet and colorful. It will be one of the most memorable cocktails I've had because of its presentation and taste. We ended the night with the Woo Baby (Ube Cheesecake) and the Yuzu Delight (Yuzu Cheesecake). The yuzu was tart and the ube was light and creamy. Both are outstanding dessert options. The entire night flowed effortlessly, thanks to our server Miguel. He was so organized in his approach and was so kind and funny. His presence was greatly welcomed and appreciated. If you have any celebration coming up or just want a lovely evening out, this is the place.

Unique, delicious sounding offerings are a rarity nowadays for MDM menus. Illume crafted a good one. Ambiance is beautiful. Classy, cherry blossoms everywhere, a nice sushi bar right in the middle of the place, and a balcony that rivals any other in Orlando. Lots of good visuals of I-Drive, Disney, and Orlando's beauty in general. Service was good, but also bad. Our server was great. Very nice person. But the pacing of the meal was all off. Like the majority of Magical Dining meals, we were rushed through our dinner so we could get out the door and make room for unsuspecting people who want to pay full price. I would have deducted a star for that, if their menu wasn't so gosh darn delicious. The food itself was amazing. I won't go into full detail, since the event is over, but I will go over some highlights and lowlights. Their poke was really well done, and it was served in a very fun crispy little lumpia wrapper bowl. Their proteins were cooked absolutely superb. The crispy leek hay on the tenderloin dish was a lot of fun, they know how to pair sides with proteins well. And honestly, get every dessert they have. Their desserts were incredible. Real Food Network baking championship stuff. Delicate, packed with flavor, visually appealing. A great way to end the meal. Overall, this place was excellent, well worth the $60 MDM menu price. I'll be on the lookout for the menu quality next year, maybe to return.

Pros: I love that they not only participated in Magical…read moreDining, but they also put out an amazing menu that stood out in the sea of over 180 other menus. Really good effort on their part. Ambiance was stunning. Very tranquil and serene and slightly Japanese. With an amazing view of a lot of Disney parks and Springs, very beautiful. The food was delicious. Simple little flavors combined well with just perfectly cooked protein. And desserts that look like they were made on the British Baking Show. Amazing stuff. Cons: The only con of the night was my number one pet peeve. They brought out our entree before we were done eating our apps. You see this often at MDM restaurants. Since they're not making as much money on your table, they try to rush you out the done. Pissed me off majorly. Tips: I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order here, but make sure you leave room for dessert. Those were really, really special. Also, try to get a seat out on the patio. That view is just wow.
