Long time enjoyer of Sushi Cafe, I've been coming here for years now and can't get enough. I've seen the awesome changes this place has made and they never fail to amaze me. We had the Love Boat for 2 and it was so much food we definitely had some leftovers. The service here is always so quick and the servers have always been the sweetest. I love and recommend Sushi Cafe! read more

Sushi Cafe - 5. Love Boat (for 2) - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

If I could give this place 100000 stars I would. Let's start off with quality, best you can get for the price. 3 nice (basic) sushi rolls and a soup for 15.99 is a steal nowadays. 11.99 for two!! Though the ingredients might not be extravagant it's a banger every single time. Not the type to really write reviews but they definitely deserved it. My car broke down once when I was going to pick up food as they were closing, they DELIVERED to me and didn't give me the chance to tip. Love this place a lot. I'm moving out soon, this is the place i'm going to miss the most from this area. read more

Ordered delivery on doordash for the first time. Tried the 2 roll combo (shrimp tempura and rock and roll) , Thai tea and side noodles. The tea was good! Sweet but not too sweet. The rolls were just decent, needed quite a bit of soy sauce. Noodles were pretty bland but decent for the price . I probably wouldn't try again, there's too many better options but this place was decent overall. read more

This place been around for a long time but they have new owners and things are definitely different. Better quality and better presentation of sushi for sure. The all you can eat menu is $30 per person and there are so many great options on there! The service was good and attentive. I never ran out of water in my cup. At the end they even gave us a keychain which was so cute! read more

I come here all the time with my friend and haven't make an updated review in two years. In that time there have definitely been some menu changes. They used to have a deal on rolls which has been replaced with the AYCE, best change ever. Everything is fresh and delicious, the food comes out fairly quickly and the staff is very nice and attentive. The portions for the appetizers are not too big so you don't fill up on them and can try a few different things. I love the Rock and roll I get it every time I come in if you're a fan of shrimp tempura i definitely recommend that! It seems like a little family owned place it's very small and definitely a hole in the wall if you know you know spot. Sushi Island has opened up recently which is also good, but I like that at sushi cafe everyone at the tables doesn't have to get AYCE, also love the smaller feel, it's more like a third space feel. Don't look over sushi cafe! read more

Sushi Cafe - Fried cookies. - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I consider any restaurant that hasn't had a review in 6 months to basically be a blank slate. 6 months is long enough for management to fix problems that could contribute to a negative review, or for glowing reviews to slip. Sushi Cafe hasn't had a review on this site in 6 months. Yet I still see people going in and out of this restaurant all the time, usually happy. So, blank slate it is. Tonight my wife wanted sushi and we live close to Sushi Cafe and they were open so, we went. I looked at the reviews, plenty of positive reviews but the most recent review was one star and is 6 months old. So we decided to give them a shot. I've been eating sushi since the 90's and have a lot of experience with this food. First thing I look for on any sushi menu is Ikura (salmon roe). Next is the Spider Roll. These are my favorites. I asked if the chef made Ikura Temaki for us but he countered with Mosago (smelt roe) and we accepted. We also ordered a Dragon Roll (shrimp tempura cucumber, cream cheese, eel, spicy shredded krab, with avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayo) , Spider Roll (soft shell crab, cucumber avocado mosago and eel sauce) , Mango Roll (shrimp tempura, krab, cream cheese, topped with mango coconut flakes and mango sauce glaze), Jaguar roll (a tempura roll consisting of eel, avocado and cream cheese topped with eel sauce), and a Tomago Nigiri (sweetened scrambled egg omelette style sliced over rice), and tuna roll (tuna nori which is just rice, tuna, and nori wrap). They also served us miso soup and a sweet cake for dessert. The first served was the Miso Soup which was wonderful with fresh white mushroom slices and green onions. It was tasty and warm. First roll served was the Mosago hand roll with rice. Very simple and very nice. The focus was on the roe which is a good start for a salty pallet introduction and an excellent entry point to our meal. Next was the Green Dragon. This is the most expensive roll they have but well worth it (see pics). The portion is generous, the pieces are large without being oversized and the flavors are delicious. Next was the Spider Roll which was delicious and savory with the soft shell crab being the star of the show, which was served with the tuna nori (a wonderful roll focusing solely on the red meat of the tuna which was succulent and juicy in the best ways), and the Tomago (sweetened scrambled egg omelette slice which made me wish I'd doubled my order and was the sleeper hit of the evening). Simultaneously we were served the Mango, the Jaguar, and the other Tomago. The Mango was sweet, reminiscent of coconut shrimp, and the sweetness of the mango paired well with the saltiness of the shrimp and earthiness of the rice. The Jaguar was crispy and savory and the eel sauce was an excellent compliment. And my wife says her Tomago was delicious, sweet, and tasty as well. Lastly we had sweet cakes with strawberry frosting for dessert. The staff was really just two people: the chef who seemed to prefer his artistry be observed on the plate as he hid himself under a black baseball cap which allowed him to focus on his creations. He clearly takes pride in his work because though it seems he almost never looks up, he has astute observation of the entire restaurant and yet still crafts such beauty. And the server, a girl whose charm and enthusiasm add to the atmosphere nicely. She paid attention to all three tables, each booth holding one couple, a young couple on a date (they are anime fans and were an adorable interracial couple), an older married couple (he was bald and his shorts and polo say he enjoys German cars while his wife enjoys her home) and us (40's, round, quiet, interracial couple). We went into this small restaurant to enjoy a good meal and were treated to a wonderful meal accompanied by a visual display of humanity and people watching. We will return. If you're in the area and hungry, you should too. read more

First time visiting from out of town! Food was very fresh and tasty, I am picky when it comes to raw smoked salmon, I give everyone a try.. they have the freshest tasting smoked salmon I've tried. The service was fast and very pleasant, our server was great and made sure to help me with my food allergies to the best of her ability and even gave us a souvenir for our first time! Definitely a foodie place if you're looking to get good sushi. Don't judge a book by its cover cause this place is so good. Definitely gonna try the all you can eat next time! Thank you so much for the keychains. read more

We found Sushi Cafe about two years ago. It was a rough night and finding a place with a quiet atmosphere was great. The owner was kind and quick to say hello. This place has a calm and relaxed vibe to it. Perfect for a break from any hustle in bustle in daily life. Whether it's your first time or not, feel free to walk in and sit down wherever you'd like. You'll quickly find someone coming to bring you menus and asking what you'd like to drink. There are printed menus that you can use to mark down what you'd like to order with a provided pen. We always order shrimp tempura and vegetable tempura. However, on our first time here we asked if it was possible to do only sweet potato. The owner was happy to do so. If you have a preferred veggie from what they offer, don't be shy about asking for only that. Mom and grandma shared a chicken hibachi which brings white rice and a miso soup. They said the sauce was delicious and the portion was great. I ordered a pick two rolls and did the Tiger roll and Chicken Tempura roll. The sushi was tasty and light, and the tempura inside wasn't oily. We love coming here, and I've no doubt we'll continue to come. If you want good sushi for a good price, I'd suggest Sushi Cafe! read more

Sushi Cafe - 17. Jimmy Smith Roll and 27. Spicy Tuna Roll with Crunch - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

See all

A friend recommended this place for cheap sushi, so we decided to give it a try and placed a pick-up order. We got 9 rolls and a spicy salmon seaweed salad. Three rolls were only $12.99, which is very inexpensive for sushi. I didn't have high expectations given the low prices, but some of the rolls were among the worst I've had, while a few were just alright. The fish was of low quality and did not taste good. The sushi rice was decent but not the best. The spicy salmon seaweed salad was not good; the salmon seemed like scraps. If you decide to go, I suggest trying their cooked rolls, like shrimp tempura. On the positive side, pick-up was fast, and the interior was dimly lit. I can't make any other comments on the ambiance and service as we did a quick pick up. read more

Husband and I decided to eat here for Valentines Day from their new AYCE menu. And under new ownership. SUSHI: All the sushi was FRESH and DELICIOUS! I ordered the Mango roll (shrimp tempura, crab, cc with fresh slices of sweet mango on top ) so good and my new favorite. Perfect. The Sunset roll with large slices of fresh tuna on top was probably the best tuna I've ever had. Also had the Rock and Roll, Philadelphia roll , salmon and tamago sashimi and salmon avocado toll. The rolls were huge so keep this in mind as I couldn't finish all and hubby who also had AYCE had to help. He had the Mexican roll and others and said they were very good and fresh. PLUS: they let me custom roll by substitute salmon for smoked which I appreciated. APPETIZERS: really impressed. They were tasty and come out hot and crispy- fried fresh we had to let cool down to eat! Loved the shrimp tempura (2 pieces) we ordered it twice! Also had steamed gyoza (5) shared veggie tempura which included broccoli, slice sweet potato, onion, asparagus, whole mushroom, and for dessert had ice cream and shared the yummy banana tempura and Asian donuts (both about 4-5 pieces). We were full so no room to try their Takoyaki (octopus balls) or soup and salads but we will next time. Our waitress was friendly with excellent service including from the 2 sushi chefs. We will be back and HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Everything was closed today due to Hurricane Nicole and I didn't want fast food so we checked this place out and. We got the veggie tempura which was so good!!

Sushi buffet!? Worth the price, but don't expect too much. Similar to eating sushi at a chinese buffet, the quality is the same. We were given a sheet of paper with a pencil to order what we want by marking it down on the paper. There's apps, nigiri, and sushi rolls. May different options to choose from. My favorite was the crunch crab. The service is good, our server was attentive to us as well as all her other tables. Be careful not to leave any food left. They'll charge you! read more

I have been wanting to try this place since my sushi loving friend told me about it. We went today and I thought it was awesome! For $15 you get all you can eat sushi with appetizers. There is a great selection of rolls and there are also premium roll options for an extra cost, but I was perfectly happy with the included options. I tried the steamed gyoza and found that enjoyable. I tried several different sushi rolls and enjoyed all of them. I really felt happy about getting to branch out and try different varieties since I knew I could get others on the next round. One of my favorites was the yummy yummy roll. It had spicy krab and avocado and was very good. The salmon and tuna nagiri were good. I liked all of the rolls I tried honestly and felt it was good sushi for a great price. Our server was very friendly and checked on us regularly. The food also came out very quickly. My boyfriend and another member of our group don't like sushi, but enjoyed their hibachi options. I look forward to returning! read more

Stopped here for lunch yesterday. Was surprised how busy it got on a Friday. They had every other table blocked off for social distancing and had hand sanitizer at every table. We opted for the ayce lunch option. You choose what you want by marking it on the menu. You can choose as much as you want and can order multiple times but they do charge for wasted food (as they should!). At $17.99 this was a great deal. I didn't take a picture of the menu but I believe other people posted some. On the ayce menu you have appetizer options, sushi rolls, and sashimi. They have speciality rolls for $1.25 up charge. The rolls they give you are smaller than normal rolls which is nice so you can try multiple rolls. Everything we had was delicious and fresh. The only thing we didn't like were the fried "scallops" which were not scallops at all but were some type of white fish. Will definitely return. read more

The food that you get reflects how much you pay. It is about ~$16 a person for all you can eat sushi and appetizers. There is an additional charge for each plate of specialty sushi. You will get their menu and a pencil and this is where you jot down what you would like. Once the waiter collects the paper it takes about 7-10 min for your food to come out. I would compare the food to buffet food. Don't expect gourmet food, but for the price you pay it is decent since you get an unlimited amount of dishes that range from krab Rangoon, fried rice, noodles, and anything from the nigiri and sushi. read more

10/10 This is a fantastic place to get sushi for lunch and a hidden gem, in my opinion. Nowhere else will you find sushi of comparable high quality for such a good price (they have a 1, 2 or 3 roll lunch special for very reasonable prices). I've been going here for years with friends and family and have no intention of changing that! read more

Food was amazing! The server not so much. Felt like the lady in the hat that was serving did not want me and my family there. She seemed mad at us or annoyed with us. I said thank you to her like 5 times and never even got a word from her my whole time I was there. Not a your welcome or ok or any kind of acknowledgment. Prob the worst service I've had additive wise from a server. So disappointing because I love the food here and have had great experiences before. read more

This place is top tier. Not comparing to places like Kabooki/Ootoya/Hinode/Hatsuhana due to pricing of course. Not upscale, but if you're looking for an affordable but still good place to stuff your belly, then this is it! Over the years, they've been experimenting with prices and portions of their rolls and I think they have reached the golden spot. Their all day sushi special is sooooo good! If you don't eat much and usually want/have leftovers, go with this over the all you can eat. They have a lot of delicious options, they all taste amazing, and the filling is generous. We ordered from them twice in one week, and I can't wait for dining-in to become normalized so I can experience the all you can eat again. Go with ayce if you're craving a variety of appetizers! I was sad when they removed the tempura krabsticks from 'ayce' appetizers a while ago, but I'll try their fried scallops when I can! Maybe they're even better. And you bet I'll try putting them on top of the sushi too! My favorite small roll is Tai because I obsess over seaweed salad and they're one of the few places around here who put it in a roll! I love their Heaven roll. (Lemon on it instead of ponzu would be amazing, but still good!) And I think the BBQ Chicken roll is interesting! Most places have just plain chicken with sauce on top, but this one was shredded and mixed into the sauce! It might be a bit much on its own if you're not looking for American bbq in your sush, but pair the bite with their veggie roll, and that is a perfect combo. I've worked at and had a lot of sushi in Orlando, and my friend has been a sushi chef at plenty of the high-end sushi places here, and we both agree that this is the place to get your fix! read more

Small restaurant near UCF with an assortment of delicious sushi, and other tasty dishes! Eat in or take out.

The bottom line here is that you get what you paid for. If you don't mind not even sharing one piece or taste of your meal, then give sushi cafe a try. I thought it would be nice to try a sushi restaurant in Orlando as there AREN'T many good ones in the city (in my opinion). Sushi cafe is one to add to the list. I wasn't impressed at all. The restaurant is adamant on no sharing and although I can understand it to a point, having someone try one piece of one roll doesn't mean that they're sharing. The clear soup was delicious and not overly salty as was the miso soup. The gyoza were very greasy. The fish pieces/rolls were small and limited to the most popular-salmon, tuna, and shrimp. read more

This little place located in an unassuming plaza is great for simple sushi. They have a pretty comprehensive all-you-can-eat (AYCE) menu and the staff is friendly and efficient. It usually isn't crowded so there are no issues finding where to sit. They have a new policy where everyone at the same table must order from the same menu (i.e. one person wants all-you-can-eat means that everyone must order from the all you can eat menu.) I typically order tuna and salmon nigiri, spicy tuna rolls, avocado and salmon rolls, and their clear soup. They do not have sashimi as part of the AYCE menu which is unfortunate since it's my favorite! They do have a standard menu which includes speciality rolls and hibachi but I haven't given those a try just yet. All in all the Sushi Cafe is a good option to try if like sushi at reasonable prices. read more

Family owned. Great customer service. Also, as for sushi goes, really good value without spending a ton of money. Would recommend for a casual sushi meal. read more

Decent sushi. Wasn't the greatest I never had but was not the worst either. I would generally grade this as an above average sushi restaurant. Definitely sets them apart is the all you can eat sushi !! I tried a few of the different rolls and they were all very good. I would recommend trying them just for the all you can eat sushi. read more

This place is pretty decent. For about 15 dollars, the fact that you can eat all the sushi you want is pretty neat. The sushi on the menu for "all you can eat" is limited to the more simple rolls. The fancier and tastier rolls you have to pay an additional 2 dollars for. They do issue a penalty if you order more than you can finish. So please be wary of that. All in all, it's a decent place with a nice atmosphere. read more

If you're not a huge sushi guy like me this is still a great place to go. I ordered the chicken hibachi and it was better than some hibachi places. The rice was super creamy, chicken cooked well along with the 2 pieces of shrimp they gave me. Veggies were great too. A pretty chill atmosphere as well. A little pricy but will definitely go back sometime in the near future. read more

Sushi Cafe - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Change is the one constant at Sushi Cafe, and unfortunately I'm on the edge of adjusting my rating to three stars. Not yet, but I'm on the verge -- we'll see what the future holds. Much of my original review still stands, but the prices and selection are constantly in flux on the AYCE menu. Lunch/Dinner used to be $12.99/$19.99 with more options on the dinner menu, then it was $12.99 all day with the same menu regardless of time, then it was $12.99/$14.99. They're clearly trying to find that sweet spot where the maximum number of people are happy. They said they got complaints about the dinner prices when it was $19.99. Frankly, I think that's ridiculous, because one look at the dinner menu's nigiri options and you'd know that it's worth the extra money for the extra selection. But hey, I'm only one guy, so they took that menu away, using the lunch menu as the all-day $12.99 special. The lunch menu was still pretty good, and for the price it was an absolute steal, but then this $12.99/$14.99 change happened. We came in for lunch (our 7th visit, I believe) and the menu was missing the unagi nigiri. My brain went: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Apparently the unagi is only available on the dinner menu now. Dammit. But we soldiered on. Unfortunately it also seemed that, on the nigiri we did order, the cuts were noticeably thinner than previous occasions. Oh dear. That's the mark of a restaurant struggling with unsustainable prices. However, it IS still a good deal at $12.99. Just not the "too-good-to-be-true, angels singing, unicorns prancing" kind of good deal that it was when Sushi Cafe first opened. Part of me is glad that they're trying so hard to keep that price intact, but I personally would shell out an extra couple of bucks to see their nigiri stay at the level it had previously been at. I may be in the minority though, so we'll just have to see what happens. I'm sure this won't be the last change we see. I really wish them the best of luck, and I hope to see that big dining area of theirs a bit more full next time. read more

This place was AMAZING! It's quiet and small, which I prefer over the loud sushi joints. The AYCE menu is small, but the portions more than make up for it. I ordered several nigiri (salmon, yellowtail, eel, krab and tamago) and the pieces of protein were double or triple the usual. The rolls were pretty sizable as well. And the price is unbeatable, $15.99 any time of day. If you visit, try the fried scallops. I usually dislike scallops but they melt in your mouth and taste so sweet and salty. The staff seemed to be a family, with 2-3 young men working and an adult woman. The service was perfect, all smiles and checking in and filling drinks. They answered any questions about the menu and even offered the table next to us the option of making them a roll off menu if the guests had the recipe. My only complaint: the water was very mineral filled and "hard", even with a lemon. But most restaurant water in FL is and I got sweet tea to make up for it. 5/5 read more

Super bad experience, I don't think I'm gonna come to this place anymore. First, they rise the price from 14'99 to 15'99. Second, I asked for a vanilla ice cream for 15 minutes, the waitress just talked to other table, ignored me for 15 minutes. Sushi, I can understand, ice cream, come on! Third, the waitress didn't tell me if you can't eat 100% the food you ordered, they will charge me money. I only leave half of a sushi, a tiny piece, twice. When I received my check, they charged me for third times. It's ridiculous. It's your policy I understand, could you friendly mention a little bit? I only ordered third times, the last time I even ate all the food I ordered. This is super ridiculous. read more

I've been here way over 5 times and been extremely satisfied every time. The service is extremely friendly quick and ontop of tables. They are always refilling your drinks and making sure you have everything you need They have amazing prices $2.50 for 4 average sized rolls -- however you can get plenty for such a low price There is outdoor seating and nightly specials. The more you spend the more they're going to give you percentage off your bill and thank for your service I will continue to come here every chance I crave sushi. It's affordable and amazing staff.
