The sushi rice here is the best I've had since Hatsuhana. The rice makes a huge difference. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Although I wish there was a bit more variety, and the cost was a bit high (edamame, 4 rolls and 2 beers was just over $100), this is definitely my new place.

Sushi Tomi has been around for awhile, and I hope it's around for forever. Obviously, barring that…read morethey get tired or other things happen. Sushi Tomi has been around for a long time. Sushi Tomi is one of the original secret Asian American staples of Orlando that opened in 2013 back when Orlando was known as Mickey Mouse's backyard. It's decently priced, albeit far, and provides a nice sense of comfort. We went on a week night and they were still super busy. Located closer to East Colonial area, it's at 8463 S John Young Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32819. Their claim to fame are their bento boxes and different lunch and dinner sets, which is to say you will leave full with a balanced meal. I won't lie, I have been wanting to go for the longest time. I felt like some kid pressing his face up against a window, just watching everyone go and enjoy their meal. So this was really great for me, personally. I got their dinner tempura and sushi set. The set came with miso soup and salad as well as a variety of meats and veggies that had been tempura coated and fried with a side of rice. I also ordered a sparkling jelly sake drink, a tamago nigiri and eel nigiri. My overall portion costed about $45 without tip. The set gets a 8.5/10 rating from me. I kinda wish I just went with the tempura set instead of trying to have the best of both worlds. Not that the sushi was bad or anything, but the tempura was really the star of the show. It was so fresh and crispy and light and amazing with the sauce they served it with. The sushi was fine and well made, I just had heart eyes for the tempura. The tamale nigiri and the eel nigiri was good, but not the best I have ever had. They had other things on their menu, but I really recommend going here for Japanese basic meals or comfort meals. I think it's not dazzling, but provides you with a sense of comfort. Not to mention the service was amazing, and it truly was authentic and not gentrified. My overall rating is 9/10 for the whole experience. I will be back whenever I am in the area.

My husband and I had such a great experience here!…read more We ordered a variety of items, and everything was genuinely delicious. The uni toast was a fun and flavorful start, but the standout recommendation from our server was the honey truffle salmon... and wow, she did not steer us wrong. It was incredible, perfectly balanced, and one of the most memorable dishes of the night. That said, our absolute favorite was the wagyu gyoza. We both agreed it was the best thing we ate! It was so flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. We also tried the toro sashimi, king lime roll, and the A5 wagyu roll, and honestly, there wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy. Beyond the food, the service really made the experience. Emily was our server, and she was amazing. She was so positive, attentive, and helpful without ever being overbearing. My husband and I both noticed how great the service was, which really elevated the whole night. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for great sushi, standout dishes, and excellent service!

They were very kind and accommodating and super helpful in terms of trying to figure out all allergies and what my child could or cannot eat, but also make adjustments so that she has options. Now for the food! We had gotten the beef skewer and chicken skewers as appetizers and let me tell you they were probably the best meat skewers that I've had in a Izakaya style Japanese restaurant. The steak was so tender and had great flavor, same with the chicken! The sauce was good, maybe a bit too heavy on the sauce but good pairing! 5/5 The tuna flight was . So good and the cuts of tuna was so tender and was amazing, good garnishes on top! 5/5 The rolls, we got a couple Yellow Fever: it was good, I'm not sure if I was a fan of the asparagus but it was good to have every now and then every other bite or so but not every time. It did have a slight kick to it but I liked it. Distinguished Gentleman: was great. The meat was tender and it had good flavor and my kids enjoyed it as a more kid friendly sushi, but I also enjoyed one bite that I was able to sneak before the kids devoured it. Shrimp Tempura roll (specially made for allergies): Standard goodness! I also almost forgot, I had gotten King Salmon nigiri and also eel nigiri, salmon was good! Normal salmon vibes 4/5 but the eel...probably the most disappointing menu item tbh. Tasted like the frozen Asian grocery store eel, just underwhelming and not a little tough. 2/5 wouldn't order again. but Overall, it was everything was great, we had good service and good food! It's a bit expensive but I Would come back!

If you like hibachi and/or Caribbean food then do yourself a favor and check out Island Flamed!…read more Jerk chicken is one of my favorite foods, and hibachi doesn't fall far behind, so this fusion concept jumped out to me. As it was my first time, I went with Jerk Chicken but opted for the hibachi style fried rice to make it a true Caribbean Hibachi meal. It also came with spicy cabbage which was fantastic. The jerk chicken was perfectly tender and moist and coated with jerk seasoning - which really made the fried rice a unique and enjoyable new flavor! I spent most of my meal talking with one of the operators (Lee) who couldn't have been nicer. He even brought me a sample of the Ackee and Saltfish to try. The menu is deep, including favorites like oxtail and curry goat, along with traditional teryaki and other hibachi flavors. I will definitely be back again to try more soon!

We went all in on the Supreme AYCE ($74 per person) and honestly? Worth every dollar. The meat was insanely fresh, super tender, and just kept coming. There's something about grilling it yourself that makes the whole experience feel fun and a little bougie at the same time. Shoutout to June, our waitress -- she was attentive, quick, and made sure we never ran low on anything (which is crucial when you're in AYCE mode). If you're in Orlando and want a solid, interactive dining experience with top-tier meats, this is it. Already plotting my next visit.

Sweet: I enjoyed everything I tried. This time since we came so much I ordered a new item. My favorite is the Aburi salmon - it's lightly torched salmon sashimi over rice. I get that every time. I did enjoy the salon and scallop don as well as the tempura don. Sour: the appetizers aren't anything special especially the shrimp shumai. Seems like the frozen ones you can get at the grocery store. Stick to the don bowls or even the bentos.

Service is quick and the food is fantastic. I use miso soup as a test for how good a place is and theirs was exactly how I like it, small cubes of fresh tofu, reasonably sized wakame, and not too much of any one ingredient. The miso was a milder white but nicely salty and flavorful. You could tell they didn't just phone it in and open an instant packet. I had their curry rice with a pork katsu and it was one of the best I've had in the area. The curry tasted homemade and leaned a bit towards the sweeter side but with a tiny hint of spice. It came with pickles which were just the thing to cut the richness. I also got their spicy garlic edamame which is my second favorite (Sushi Katana by the Milennia Mall has the best IMO). The onigiri was nothing special but great rice consistency and filled with bonito flakes and soy or umeboshi. There are a lot of dishes you don't find on most menus here like salted grilled mackerel fillet and croquettes. Funny enough there's very little sushi for a place with sushi in the name but I was ok with that because their kitchen food is what to come for. I also love that it has the vibe of a small Japanese restaurant with the option to sit at the counter and give you that "salaryman on a quick lunch" vibe.

Just know that you might get a little wet in the process! We ordered the calamari appetizer which was overly breaded but otherwise okay. I'd try something else next time. The hibachi dinner came with soup and salad. The soup was amazing with lots of good mushroom flavor. I'd order it by itself if I were in the mood for soup. The salad was pretty good too. For the entree I had the shrimp hibachi which was amazing. Most places you can't really taste much flavor on the shrimp. That wasn't the case here. I would definitely get it again! My date had the New York strip. She ordered it medium and it came out medium well. It was still tasty. If you need some quick gifts for the anime fan in your life, you can find plenty of Pokémon cards and bootleg Dragon Ball figures up front, lol. I'd definitely come back again.
