This NEW all you can eat sushi restaurant in my backyard SUSHI ISLAND had to check it out. From the minute I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Ethan was super polite and guided me through the menu. I came for lunch on a Tuesday and it was buzzing with people around noon. The food was extremely fresh and delicious The restaurant and bathrooms were extremely clean. Nice atmosphere as well. For sure I'll be coming back with friends. This was a total random lunch in Winter Park. They had plenty of parking as well. Again I went for lunch on a Tuesday, I imagine they are packed for dinner. If looking for an all you can eat place to try lunch or dinner sushi this is your best option. read more

The restaurant is located in a very nice location. It's clean & beautiful. Our waitress was so friendly, helpful & kind. The menu is long, but simple & easy to understand. Just can't make it 5 stars because the food was kinda mid. For sashimi, we got salmon, white tuna, scallops, sweet shrimps & eel. Only salmon tasted right, the others just pretty forgettable. The sushi rolls were actually pretty good. They had a distinct and unique flavor, rather than being generic like other AYCE restaurants. Mussels were great. Takoyaki & chicken katsu was a bit too salty. Fried rice was too oily. Udon soup w/ roasted pork was good, recommended order it when you almost done with the meal. The small coffee cake dessert in the dessert bar was lowkey good. Overall, I think this restaurant is doing great, especially with the price they offer now is a great deal. read more

Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I think I found one of my new favorite all you can eat sushi spots! Instead of buffet style, you order your rolls and they're brought fresh to the table. If you're not a sushi fan, they have plenty of other options on the menu, like hibachi, noodle or rice bowls, and tempura dishes. Everything had a very nice presentation and came out quickly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Lunch $21.95 Monday to Friday: 11:00am to 3:30pm Dinner $34.95 Saturday & Sunday All Day Dinner read more

I was very excited to see another AYCE location opening so close to home. We are big fans of Sushi Yama, but hate the drive. The food was not bad, but the quality was not as good as other places we've tried. The sushi rolls were nicely presented, as well as the other dishes. However, I don't think there was anything that stood out. The dessert selection was interesting, some of the items didn't match the display description, but if you're a regular at these types of establishments, you knew what they were. They also had two types of fruit. They did have the tiramisu squares that I like, which was nice. I thought it was interesting that they had strawberries in their dish decor, but not as a dessert item. They did have three flavors of ice cream, but it was the style of the little cup cartons. Our server was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed in terms of our orders and our drinks. Inside it is very pretty with these fishes attached to the walls where they seemed to be swimming around the whole place. The bathroom was nice and clean. Overall, I think Ocean Buffet is a better option in the area since they have better tasting items (although less sushi choices), but Sushi Yama is still in our top ranking for sushi + quality. They do have a lunch special, so maybe that would be a nice value if you're looking to get a mix of items. read more

Wake up Orlando! A new sushi spot just dropped! This used to be the bar Aroggahs, which wasn't really popular. They have a good all you can eat menu! The portions are perfect to get a good taste of everything. They have a nice variety of sushi rolls and nigiri as well as hot tasting items from the kitchen. The food quality is fresh and delicious! Everything had a good flavor! I can definitely see coming back! read more

I definitely recommend giving this place a try! There's a great variety of menu items to choose from like fried appetizers, seafood appetizers, hand rolls, and even udon which I want to try in the future. We usually go for eel, salmon, shrimp, and some fun rolls. Everything tasted fresh, and I even loved the tuna tartare which I usually don't prefer because tuna tends to taste fishy to me. I also liked the eel much better than other places. Lastly, the sushi came with the perfect amount of rice. For the price and friendly service I'd say this is in the top 2 contenders for my go to sushi spots. :) read more

Sushi Island - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Went for lunch pre Valentine's Day with hubby to avoid the craziness of the weekend. Decor is nice. Space is ample and tastefully done. The middle section with all the tables has cafeteria vibes but there are booths as well. We tried a variety of things. Salmon tar tar was good Hand rolls were good. Skip the spicy kani that was awful Tuna tataki was standard Fat boy roll was good. Spicy girl roll was great Baby tiger roll was not a hit perhaps if they offered fresh salmon instead of smoked it would be better They have a real baby changing table in the female restroom rather than one of those plastic drop downs. They have 4 sushi chefs and things come out fairly quick. read more

If you're looking for a fun all-you-can-eat sushi spot in Orlando, Sushi Island definitely gives me the same vibes as Sushi Yama -- endless sushi, appetizers, and even hibachi options that make it perfect for groups or when you come in really hungry. The sushi was pretty decent and honestly not bad at all for the pricing. Not the freshest fish around but it's not bad. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient, and food came out surprisingly fast even when it was busy. My favorite was the eel as always --flavorful, and consistently good. The cucumber salad tasted super fresh and refreshing, and I also loved the variety of soups available: miso, clear mushroom, and clam soup were all comforting starters. One of the coolest parts is the all-you-can-eat ice cream and dessert bar with fruit. I do wish there were a few more dessert options, but overall it's still a fun concept and a nice way to end the meal. There were tons of hand rolls, specialty rolls, and different fish cuts to choose from, so it never felt repetitive. Overall, great environment, great service, and definitely a place I would recommend and come back to again! read more

Came back again and it's still just as good. The rolls were fresh and packed with fish, and I really appreciate that the nigiri has a generous cut of fish with a smaller portion of rice for an ayce place. You can tell they care about presentation too everything looks so nice. Service was friendly and attentive as always. read more

I highly recommend checking out Sushi Island. The ambiance is very cool and sets a great vibe. We went with the all you can eat option, which is an incredible deal. The Fat Boy roll was awesome and easily the highlight of the meal. Our server Jerry provided fantastic service and made sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be coming back. read more

This new spot immediately became a favorite for me last night. They did everything right! The staff was super friendly and greeted you with a smile as soon as you walk in. The decor was super modern and clean, great lighting and comfortable seating however, some of the tables were pretty close together. All you can eat sushi, table service for $34.95 is unheard of! The presentation exceeded my expectations! Every dish came out looking like a piece of art! It was so beautiful and tasted even more delicious! My favorites were the spicy kani salad, shumai, yellowtail and octopus sashimi. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed every dish and trying new things. The sake flight is a must!! I loved everything I tried. But my faves were the yuzu sparkling and the pineapple(see pix). There was ample parking and we were seated right away on a Friday evening. I am so happy we got to try this place before theh explode even more ! They put so much care in to their food and the upkeep of the restaurant. I saw the manager overseeing everything and making sure that the service , cleanliness and presentation were all up to par. I can't wait to go back and bring more friends and family! read more

I love this place for many reasons. It's close to my home and very clean and stylistic in design. It's very similar to Sushi Yama in concept for this AYCE. However, the food quality is much better than I expected. The hosts are friendly and the server was attentive and warm. I've eaten there 3 times since it opened. The price is competitive to other sushi AYCE, and they do offer a lunch menu. Everything tastes fresh whether it's sushi or hot food items. My favorites are the Shrimp Tempura Udon, Teppan Shrimp, and most of the appetizer dishes like Jalapeno Yellowtail, Baked Mussels, Kani salad and even the sushi rolls. I tend to get the sashimi and there's a decent selection for dinner. Even the presentation for my sashimi was well done! The dessert is limited but you'll be too stuffed to eat it. Is it the best sushi? Better than other AYCE, but if you want spectacular sushi, you're better off going to an elevated sushi bar. However, for the value and freshness, this is the best option on this side of town. I hope they continue to stay consistent in quality. There's plenty of parking as they have their own lot. It's close to Full Sail and Semoran Blvd. read more

Awesome AYCE sushi spot! Large parking lot, friendly service, cute decor, and great sushi - what could be better! The All You Can Eat menu is huge and includes a lot of items typically not on others, including sashimi, scallop, tartares, udon soup, and a ton of speciality rolls. Our favorites were the salmon and scallop sushi/sashimi, the Spicy Girl Roll, the King Kai Roll, and the spicy kani salad. Their dinner price is $34.95 which I find to be right on par with other AYCE spots with the same quality. Honestly, I know it can be taboo to mention another restaurant in a review, but if you like Sushi Yama, the dishes here seem to be made with the same kinds of fish because we found everything to be similar (plus more options here!) - we love that place too so we were pleasantly surprised! Another standout part of the meal was our server, Graham, who was super sweet! He answered any questions we had, brought over extra sauces and such quickly, and checked in on us at a good frequency. He did tell us early on that the sushi rolls typically take a bit longer than the rest of the menu, which we definitely found to be true, so that was good advice - get your roll order in early! We came at 7pm on a Friday and it was relatively empty but it really started getting busy around 7:30-45pm. Service was maintained and the speed of food coming out (minus the rolls) was the same! Will definitely be back and hope this place continues to thrive! read more

Just tried this newly opened sushi spot and had a great experience. The restaurant is clean, the service is excellent, and the sushi is fresh. Everything is ordered through an iPad, and it's unlimited!!! you can order as much as you want. The salmon nigiri pieces were a bit smaller than what I'm used to but since it's all-you-can-eat, I didn't mind (I ended up ordering about 20!). Bonus for content creators if you post on your social media, they'll apply a discount. Overall, great spot and definitely worth checking out! read more

This place is kind of hidden based on the location but worth visiting if you want all you can eat food. We all had a great time and managed to put down more than enough to make the price pay for itself. The venue was kind of quiet when we visited but it was also during a slower part of the day. However, the service was impeccable. The staff make sure you understand what you're getting to eat/drink and get your order to you as soon as possible. I absolutely loved this place. My only problem is the location however everything else I mentioned makes up for the drive. read more

After seeing Sushi Island open recently, we've been wanting to try it out. (Admittedly, I was nervous because it's in the cursed building that no restaurant ever survives in) The decor and vibe inside is really cool. The Sushi chefs are in an open layout that can be seen from the dining room. There is also a nice bar/smaller seating area near the front of the restaurant that I'd like to try on out next visit. Everything is super clean and tidy, including the restrooms as well! There's also a cute little vending machine at the entrance that can be played for a dollar a try. My fiancée gave it a shot and actually won a little bride-duck plushee on her first try! (Which is fitting considering our wedding is in less than 2 months. lol) This is an all-you-can-eat sushi/hibachi restaurant. But this spot's a little different. Normally at restaurants like this that I've visited in the past, you can choose between AYCE Sushi OR hibachi, but here, for $35 you can basically eat as much as you want from the ENTIRE menu! There's simple sushi, sashimi, rolls, specialty rolls, hibachi steak, chicken, shrimp, different types of katsus, apps, soups, etc. There's a lot to choose from so we decided to go for as much of the menu as we could! I took as many photos as I could remember but I would get so excited to try new things coming to our table so I didn't get everything. The staff here is very friendly and attentive. They constantly check in on you to make sure you arent finishing a plate and waiting too long for your next one. Since this restaurant JUST opened, they still haven't quite nailed down their table orders yet, as a few times orders from other tables kept getting sent to ours, which I don't blame them for. I think that'll get better as they nail down their table numbers with experience. They also JUST finalized their liquor license so we weren't able to try and drinks on this visit, but I'm excited to come back and try their bar and see what offerings they will have next time. They have a small selection of light desserts and ice creams that you can help yourself to at the end of your meal that don't make you feel like youre gonna explode at the end of an AYCE dinner, which I really appreciate. This is a neat spot. I hope they find a home here in the Winter Park area and really look forward to our next visit. read more

Update on the review it's been about a month since I last came went on a Friday night and it was packed about 45-60 min wait. They don't have a system so they said they were going to call and never did I ended up walking to chilis to have a drink at the bar an hour later I called and they said I'm next I came and they had called 4 tables after me when I asked the guy why he didn't call he said he did and it didn't ring or went to voicemail. (That indicates that maybe you should try again imo) but hopefully they get better process the food was still good. They just need a better process read more

Super impressed by our first visit here! The building was so clean and beautifully decorated. We were sat quickly and our waiter was very attentive and super friendly! And all the food was amazing! We opted for the dinner menu to have sashimi, but noticed that the sushi was made with the perfect bite size amount of rice, so we'll be doing the lunch menu on our next visit. All the fish and vegetables were very fresh, and everything was made to order quickly. The Fat Boy roll was delicious, and the hand rolls were packed with fillings! We're definitely visiting again in the near future! read more

For $35 so all you can eat sushi is incredible. There's a wonderful variety of rolls appetizers and desserts so that you can choose from at this place. The place is also beautiful very clean and elegant. I was blown away by the sushi that's available here for the price. Everything is made to order and brought to your table as soon as it's ready I got the mango popping Boba tea with my meal and it was absolutely delicious. I was surprised that they had Boba tea at this location. They also have a cute claw machine in front that I played and I want a plushy. I wish they had more arcade games. It would add to the vibes. I can't wait to come back to this location it was really great for the price and we really enjoyed trying new roles and can't wait to try more. We should definitely do a Yelp event here. read more

Some of the food was really good. The calamari was a no go for us. It just wasn't good lol I don't know how else to really explain it. It was like not tasty and the texture was like kinda hard. Not chewy or soft. I like the outside to be crispy and inside either soft or chewy. The hibachi steak wasn't great either. It wasn't horrible but I definitely wouldn't get it again. The service there was good. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The place is nice they have a ton of lights everywhere. The mood is very like...between casual and fancy. They have a little freezer that has ice creams in it. Chocolate strawberry and vanilla. They have a claw machine to get toys right by the entrance. The bar area looks very nice and like they have a good variety of liquor. The size of the restaurant and bar are decent too. I liked the hibachi shrimp and the soups are very good. The princess rolls were good also and the tempura was pretty good. The hibachi vegetables were good. Had zucchini and broccoli and mushrooms. I looovvveeee mushrooms. We also had edamame which weren't bad but they were only seasoned with salt so a bit plain but they were fine. The best thing for me were the soups for sure. Overall I think we would go back every once in a while. read more

It's great that we have another AYCE sushi option, and this time in east Orlando! The team here did a great job creating a very nice aesthetic with a variety of impressive visuals. The team are all friendly and efficient, and the menu is quite varied so even those who may not be fans of sushi can enjoy options (like hibachi style meats and veggies). I do wish the menu provided context for all the rolls, while the specialty rolls include descriptions the more classic ones do not. Which makes it more of a guessing game for those not as sushi versed as myself, or takes time from the busy staff to explain them. The food overall is good, though the non-sushi options were not anything spectacular. So if you're coming for unlimited sushi, it's a reasonable price for what you are getting and ideally come with others so you can share the variety of tasty rolls! But if not a fan of sushi, you'll likely find the offerings to be pretty average. read more

Sushi Island - Obligatory bathroom photo - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Service: service was excellent staff were right there when we needed them. It is a sit down place Good for families: yes I would take a family here they have plenty of tables. Downside is you have to eat everything or they charge you per plate. Menu: they are all you can eat and this place also has habachi so it was pretty worth it, the food was good and portions were small. The food was flavorful and actually so good which is not heard of for me I actually didn't take a photo! Parking: plenty of parking has its own lot which is nice Would I recommend this place absolutely I think this was worth what we paid. It felt like we were on vacation which was nice you want that feel when you go there. read more

Highly recommend for an all-you-can-eat sushi spot--definitely worth it! read more

Five stars for a new AYCE sushi close to home. Wonderful flavors. You won't leave hungry. Plentiful parking too. The only issue but for me alone is a lot of the rolls are fried and my partner is GF and also many sushi rolls have salmon and I prefer tuna. Just a personal preference. Inside is very cute and quaint. Service was just ok felt more like a burden from server but not bad by any means. I will be back and try more flavors. read more

Sushi Island is Orlando's newest AYCE sushi spot in Winter Park. For one flat price (currently $35 for adults), you get access to both the sushi bar and the kitchen dinner menu. So you can mix rolls/nigiri with hot items like hibachi and apps (gyoza, shumai, krab rangoon). Everything came out fresh and the pacing was fast. They also use high-quality Japanese tea in their fruit tea options. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to come back soon. Big shoutout to the service: it was fast and the staff was above-and-beyond attentive. It may have helped that it wasn't very busy, but it was still really appreciated and made the meal even better. read more

My husband and I came here during the first few weeks and we loved our experience. This restaurant is very clean and had beautiful decor. We got seated right away and the server was very kind. This is an all you can eat sushi spot so we tried multiple rolls. I always love to get nigiri, but my husband likes fried rolls. We both found items that we enjoyed. The quality of some of the fish didn't wow me, but taste wise everything was good. My husband loved his food as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything was so delicious and fresh! the menu is very big so you have lots of choices. I love that the portions on the appetizers are smaller so you don't fill up on them too quickly and can try different things. i forgot to take photos of our appetizers but there was 4-6 pieces of calamari, the fried rice portions weren't too big, and the hibachi potions were perfect. Our server was very sweet and personable, and the other staff were also great with making sure our order comes out quickly. some of our food did come out after we had already eaten dessert. The restaurant is very nice and interior very cozy.My only downside is that if one person at your table gets the all you can eat everyone has to, and some of the food did take a little while to come out despite the restaurant not being too busy. read more

I had a pretty good experience at sushi island . So they have the all you can eat sushi for 35 dollars for their dinner menu. I will say the reason I gave the four stars is because I was a bit disappointed I couldn't order Al a carte. If one person wants all you eat then the whole table has to order that and I never finish all my sushi . But overall it was a nice experience . The sushi was great with multiple different options . I had tried the bubba gump which came with tempura shrimp , steamed shrimp, spicy mayo and avocado and it was really good. The sushi has smaller sizes .I also tried the double crunch roll which is a sweet potato roll . I love sweet potato sushi . It was really good and flavorful . I tried sashimi for the first time and mussels . The mussels did taste like they came from the ocean lol but I expected that. It was fairly packed and a small wait but overall not a bad experience I wouldn't mind going back . I just wish they had the option to do al a carte even if other do all you can eat because I don't want to waste food . read more

Sushi Island Winterpark - an opening night review. TL;DR - it was great and we will be back! Space is gorgeous. This is the former Aroogas sports bar and you would never know it used to be covered in TVs with a wall of astroturf. My only complaint about the space is with the high ceilings it gets very loud. But hey I'm not there to chat, I'm there to eat. It's AYCE menu order but they do have a cute little fruit and dessert bar with ice cream cups freezer that's self serve. The menu is almost identical to our usual AYCE place, Sushi Yama, so comparisons will be made. Just gonna go down the line here: Grapefruit Lemonade - tart but balanced and the yogurt popping boba added a neat creamy burst. Can't compare to Yama because they don't have this drink but I already like Sushi Island's drink menu better House salad - crisp, dressing was chunky and not watery, good ginger flavor but maybe heavy on the mirin, both places have pros and cons so this is a draw Spicy Kani Salad - better than Y, krab is actually shredded and well dressed and not clumped together Cucumber Salad - it was just julienned cucumber on top of a house salad, not julienned and dressed in a ponzu sauce like Y, Y wins here Shumai - very delicately fried and not coated in batter, better than Y but wish it was served with a soy dipping sauce than the sweet and sour Krab Rangoon - default win for SI because Y doesn't have these. They were crisp, well filled and while barely any Krab they hit that Chinese takeout vibe Jalapeño Fry - also default win for SI because Y doesn't have. Unfortunately it was stuffed with spicy salmon which cooked when deep fried and I have childhood trauma from cooked salmon so this was the only thing I didn't like - but the cook on it was fantastic Miso Soup and Edamame - no notes, standard and good Cowboy Roll - it's a tie for both places though I like Y just a bit more because of the crunchy onion they put on top. Princess Roll - this was an impulse order because SI doesn't have the other roll we usually get. It was fried well so the inside didn't overcook. A bit of a carb bomb but so are most fried rolls, not greasy at all. Steak Hibachi - pretty good cut of steak and tender enough to bite through, sauce was less garlickey than Y, so I think Y wins this one. Nigiri and Sashimi - SI wins here at least for now. Everything was cut properly for a good bite, rice was warm and fresh, and the salmon was nice and fatty while the tuna had some flavor despite being the lean cut. And finally the one thing that will bring me back time and time again - roast pork udon. The udon were still a bit chewy and took on the flavor of the delicate yet flavorful broth. The absolute jaw dropper was the slice of chasWA SUSHItasted like charcoal and smoke and pork fat and I would expect this from a top tier ramen place, not an AYCE sushi place. This is now my 2nd favorite udon soup (WA SUSHI still wins with their nabeyaki udon). The only hiccup we hit was thru started getting packed around 7:30 and the sushi bar backed up hard, but management was checking in on our sashimi wait and offered free teas while we waited. They did say they will be hiring more sushi staff so hopefully that gets taken care of soon since I think they'll be very busy for a long time! PS - bathrooms have the "Vacant/Occupied" locks and every bathroom should do that IMO. read more

Food was good great service, lots of choices at a great price. Will definitely go back again

Visited this new restaurant & the location is very nice. We really enjoyed our experience, but my main feedback would be regarding the time limit. We were told that there was a 2 hour limit for the table, which we were happy to abide by. The main issue that we had was that our server was not coming around to take our orders which was frustrating considering we had limited time. We had to flag down the server to get him to come over & then after taking our order it took him a while to come back to check on us. We ordered Soju to drink and it took a very long time to receive. Considering it doesn't need to be crafted it should not have taken very long. Although the service was slow, there was four of us and we all really enjoyed our food. We'll definitely plan to return but wanted to give the feedback on the time limit and the service. Quality was great! read more

Sushi Island - Bubba gump roll - Japanese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

My wife, son, and I tried this spot for the first time last night (the day before Valentine's Day) and were so impressed. Even though it was a busy holiday weekend, our 30-minute wait ended up being much shorter than expected. The vibe is great and casual, but the quality of the sushi is truly top-notch. We started with the Miso soup, edamame, and the Mango Salmon and Yellowtail Jalapeño appetizers, which were all fresh and flavorful. For the main event, we ordered a variety of rolls: the Naruto, the Spicy Girl, and the Crazy Yellowtail to name a few. Every single one was delicious. We also tried the shrimp fried rice and Hibachi Beef, which was cooked perfectly. A huge shout-out to our server, who was absolutely fantastic. He was so kind and attentive despite the restaurant being packed. It was a wonderful first experience, and we will definitely be back! read more
