    Super great sushi spot on mills. The hostess who may have been the owner was top tied. This place that looks like a hole in the wall served up the most delicious spider roll I have ever had in Orlando. Crispy, sweet and delicious. I loved how spicy their sushi nachos were and the shrimp chips were crisp and clearly freshly fried. We were served krab volcano balls as a gift from the kitchen and they were lovely. If you are looking for quality sushi in a laid back environment this is your spot!

    We've always enjoyed Sushi Lola's. First, a heads-up: parking can be a hassle, especially on the weekend. Parking spots turn over slowly so plan a few extra minutes. The food is consistently good and portions that feel fair for the price. You can order your favorites with confidence and expect the same result each visit. The staff is genuinely nice, welcoming without being pushy, quick with refills, and attentive even when the room is busy. They manage to keep a steady tempo without making you feel rushed. The neighborhood adds to the experience. There are a bunch of unique shops in this plaza and this space fits right in. Bottom line: not the easiest parking, but consistently worth it.

    30. Fire Roll
    Christien B.

    First time trying this local staple and was overall very, very happy! It's a small, simple restaurant with a locals/neighborhood feel. I love that it's family owned and operated. You can sense the pride they have for such a wonderful spot in Orlando's culinary scene. We shared the Lava Dips - which were supposed to be similar to Crab Rangoons. The flavor was unique but tasty. Shared amongst my group were the FIRE and MAGIC rolls as well as a spicy tuna. The FIRE roll had quite the kick, and I believe is the spiciest on the menu. The MAGIC roll comes out on fire and was by far, my favorite. It had a melty, full of flavor taste and everything was super fresh. So excited I got to try with friends and continue to support this place!!

    Sushi Lola's is excellent! We didn't wait long at all to be seated, the severs were attentive and sweet! We ordered the rainbow roll, playboy roll, sweet potato roll, calamari tempura, vegetable tempura, fried rice and a pot of tea. The sushi was incredibly fresh and the tempura was perfectly crunchy. The fried rice was probably the best I've ever had- we ordered that combo with shrimp, steak, and chicken. I wanted to eat every grain of rice. I usually drown calamari in lemon, but that was not even necessary in this case because it was perfectly cooked in the tempura batter. It was a little chilly in the restaurant, but it's Florida, so that is pretty welcome on a hot day. I was comfortable with a little sweater. Definitely recommend.

    This has become one of my favorite local sushi spots. Their Happy Hour is M-F from 4-6p. 2 regular rolls for $16 and 2 delux rolls for $26. Many options to choose, and highly recommend the deluxe list if you're a fan of raw sushi. My personal favorite is Pink Lady, pictured at the far left. As you can see we indulged on a few selections. The service staff is welcoming and offered their recommendations when asked. It's located near the EastEnd Market and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Check them out!

    Spicy tuna and 12. Philly Roll
    Evie N.

    We LOVE sushi Lolas!!! You cannot beat their happy hour- we got 4 rolls and 4 drinks for under $70. Our favorite roll is the pink lady for sure!! Service was great and accommodating for having a toddler with us!

    2. Vegetable Fried Rice
    Saul L.

    A true staple in the heart of the Mills area. This spot has a fantastic happy hour from 4-6 PM: two deluxe rolls for $25 -- a great deal. Not pictured here but highly recommended is the Tuna Crunch (crispy rice topped with tuna), which was easily my favorite item on the menu. The sushi overall was fresh, flavorful, and creative. The Pink Lady roll is perfect for anyone who loves cream cheese, while the Desiree roll, made with real crab, was my personal favorite. The only dish I didn't love was the fried rice -- the sesame oil was a bit overpowering for my palate. The biggest downside of the experience, however, was the service. Our server didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu, simply repeating the descriptions when we asked questions. He also hovered uncomfortably at the table while we tasted everything, and when it came time to pay, we had to flag him down after watching him complete several other tasks before bringing us the check. I'm not sure if he was new, but it did make the experience feel a bit awkward. Overall, the food here is excellent -- fresh and full of flavor -- but the service left something to be desired. I'd still recommend it for the quality of the sushi, especially during happy hour.

    A little bit of everything!

    Wow! Every time I go here I am more impressed! The food is always amazing and all the servers are so sweet! The hot tea is so yummy and the sweet potato roll is my go to. Definitely recommend!

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place. This was by far one of my favorite sushi spots but I feel like something's have changed. It's been a while since I've been here but I'm glad they still offer happy hour on Saturdays from 4-6PM. Not that many places offer that so it's nice to see but I do feel like it is a bit pricey or some of the rolls on the happy hour menu end up being the same price if you ordered it normally. The roll sizes are big so that's a plus. Unfortunately our server wasn't very helpful. He didn't know the menu well enough t answer any questions and he didn't seem eager to help find out the answer. But the quality and taste of the rolls were delicious.

    18. Crazy Japanese Roll and 36. Rendezvous Roll
    Bunyaka N.

    I remember really enjoying this restaurant when I visited a few years ago. However, when I visited on Saturday night before my friend's birthday party, it turned out to be a bad decision. We waited for a table for roughly 30 minutes, and the staff didn't communicate with us at all while we were waiting. When our table was finally available, it took them another 10 minutes to clean and seat us. Once we sat down, our server informed us that they had fewer kitchen staff because there was no dishwasher staff on that day, so we couldn't order Kalbi. We could only order sushi. I wish they had told us that when we were waiting so that we could have decided whether to wait or go somewhere else. For appetizers, we ordered Baked Scallop which was good, but there wasn't much scallop or seafood in it. I ordered Spider Roll, Jazzy Roll with Salmon, and Wednesday Morning Roll, while my husband got Rendezvous Roll and Crazy Japanese Roll. Unfortunately, all the rolls were average. The rice was overcooked, and the sashimi didn't taste fresh to me. The deep-fried rolls and ingredients were also very cold. Although I love supporting local businesses, I wish they would pay more attention to the quality of the ingredients and service they provide.

    11. Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Kat G.

    Love this place so much! The sushi is always great and fairly priced. It does get a bit chaotic during peak dinner time, and the service can sometimes be a little slow but the wait is always worth it. Sushi is always fresh. The lava dips are my favorite, you can taste the authentic crab meat. Definitely recommend the surf and turf roll as well, the beef bugolgi pairs nicely with the shrimp. This place is great for a casual dinner. My friends and I always take time to stop by when we're in town

    Absolutely love Sushi Lola's! They have always been consistent and I have been close to 10 times or so. Love their apps, spring roll, gyoza, and edamame all delicious. Their sushi is always fresh and you can taste that! Spicy tuna is always my go to, it is actually pretty spicy too! Shrimp tempura was great as well. I would love to try a deluxe roll next time. We usually order to-go but ate inside the restaurant today. Nothing special, but service was very fast and friendly. Food came out super fast too! It's a small place and the tables are close together but it's super cozy. Nice local place I would recommend to anyone! They also have a great Japanese craft beer selection, I gave Lucky Cat a try and I did like it!

    15. Salmon Skin Roll 16. Spicy Salmon Roll
    Jackie P.

    Came on a Friday night and it was packed. Wait time was not too long though. Came to try the regular rolls for the first time and the sushi was decent. There was a bit of confusion with the order that we got, but it was easily sorted out.
