    A good place for a quick bite of sushi near universal park area. It's a casual family friendly place with decent prices. They do sell beer and saki along with non alcoholic drinks. Parking is shared with other businesses in the area yet there is plenty. The service was good.

    This place is small and casual. Only two employees in the restaurant and your food is cooked to order. Do not feel like I waited long at all. All of the fried foods were super hot and crunchy right from the oil. And all of the sushi tasted VERY fresh. If we lived here, I would be a weekly patron. It was that good! Will definitely be back whenever I'm in Orlando!

    Ordered from here on Thanksgiving as my girlfriend & I were on vacation & craving sushi for dinner. When I called, the owner said he was closing up shortly early for Thanksgiving, but said he'd happily make our orders before closing, so he stayed open for us. He even offered me a free Coke on my way out & wished me a Happy Thanksgiving. Needless to say, the best customer service I have ever had. On top of all of that, the food was sensational, we especially enjoyed the Kamikaze roll. There's a part of me that wishes I lived in Orlando so I could give Sushiology more of my business. If you're ever in the area & want great food from a great establishment, this is the spot for you!

    Such a great little spot on idrive. I've been coming here for over ten years and it's stayed consistently good. It is small inside with probably about eight seats. However if you're in the area and you're looking for some sushi it's definitely a great stop. I've gotten their gigabyte a couple of times to split with a few friends. If you're looking for something new to try I would recommend trying their Takoyaki. They are a little hot when you first get them but it's certainly unique. All of the rolls are reasonably priced and the fish seems fresh. The service was fast and friendly. There were only two employees there the night I went One was taking orders and taking care of the restaurant the other one was rolling the sushi rolls and taking care of the food. It took about 15 minutes from ordering to get everything and my husband and I were both full and happy at the end.

    Family food Adventure!!! Sushi Style!!! Everyone got different types of Japanese cuisine at this cozy establishment. I'll give you the highlights and could have been better's!!! The boy had seaweed salad and baby octopus - He loved them both, then had room for some sushi and got the tuna roll he also enjoyed it said it was Super Fresh tasting. The lil one had miso soup, white rice and an avocado roll w/cream cheese added - she enjoyed them all The eldest has the chicken teriyaki bowl and enjoyed it!!! The wifey had two types of Sushi: the California roll and the volcano roll - She lived them both and said she would get the Volcano roll every-time, it was that good!!! I got the Shrimp and crab tempura with rice - the tempura was a bit soggy as well as the crab. I don't think the oil was hot enough when it was cooked. At least my years of kitchen experience tells me that was most likely the challenge as it was good just not up to the normal tempura crunch I'm use to. We would definitely go again when in the area!!! Try it for yourself!!!

    Sushiology is really good, after we order the food came out really fast. It's a little small. I wouldn't come here with a very large group. Perfect for a quick date or lunch.

    Sushiology is simply a simple, down 2 Earth, homey, kind of place to eat some good "Mom" made types of food. The I-Drive location have been our "Go-To" for the past 20+ years, till we found this newly opened location, which is newer, spacious, cleaner than the other location. However, the tastes of the foods are still EXACTLY identical to the other place that we have always enjoyed. My favorite appetizer from here have always been their "Tofu Steak", which is a thick chunk of medium firmness tofu, coated in light corn starch, deep fried, then lathered in the sweetened soy sauce, YES!! Then of course, the usual Edamame, Sunomono (Seafood Salad), and tempura appetizers are also our usuals. Then onto the Sushi & Sashimi Combos can never go wrong, with an addition of a "Don" rice bowl dishes of the variety options to choose from are also a nice compliment to go with the sushi & sashimi selections. The staffs are nice, friendly, and efficient. The ambiance is quite spacious in comparison to the I-Drive location. And the pricings? Quite reasonable comparing to many other (Fake Japanese / Chinese owned) places. Glad we found this location, as we will be back many times to come!!

    The Pacifica sushi platter... I am officially spoiled and cannot possibly order anything BUT this. Delicious.
    Stephanie G.

    This has been my go-to sushi place for many years- years before I ever moved to Orlando. I've been here COUNTLESS times, and they've NEVER gotten my order incorrect... which tells you a lot about how they run their business. The sushi is both incredible and affordable. I've ordered nearly every item on this menu- everything is excellent. My go-to items are the Sunomono, Green Salad, Sake Don, Una Don, Hurricane rolls... All are delicious. More recently, I went a little crazy on a "Treat yo'self" day... and I ordered the Pacifica sushi platter. Holy. S***. What an amazing display of sushi... ughhh. I am now too spoiled to ever order anything less than this platter! Sushiology has fulfilled my sushi dreams. I wish I could afford to have this everyday. The sushi is made so quickly. The location is small and not meant to seat many- there are only several tables... So I usually get my sushi to-go. My literal only complaint is that they tend to be closed on Mondays... and that's when I want sushi the most (since I'm less likely to want to cook on Mondays). They also cancel my Uber Eats orders when they're probably overwhelmed with orders. Love this place.

    Our top choice food: Miso Soup; slice beef rice bowl ; tuna roll
    Helen W.

    Highly recommend fast and delicious authentic Japanese restaurant! This is our family favorite restaurant . The food is always amazing and fast delivery to table . The price is reasonable , and the owner is super friendly . You can order many different kind of sushi roll or rice bowl . We love all of them, you can try each type on your visit to see which one are your favorite ones. You will love this place!

The place maybe had two other tables but they got a few more as the evening went by. Our server was Adele, she was great. We started with the tuna and shared that across the table- nice wonton crips, a lot of good sized tuna and some stringy carrots that made it a little difficult to scoop. I had a cocktail (Dover shores- some gin with passion fruit, was good) and the ladies had wine. Emily's wine wasn't good; sounded like it was spoiled? She said it tasted like vinegar. So I asked Adele to just swap it out with something else, and she did. The new glass of wine was much better. We all went with the magical dining menu. They had the short rib and I had the noodles w shrimp. All the dishes were good. For the apps we had the she crab soup- too sweet for me, the salad- standard fare, and the pork belly which was the standout item. Good portion and crispy! Desserts were not typical- some version of a key lime pie which came like ice cream in a cone, some version of a cheesecake which they said had a strange texture and not too sweet. Despite the comments, they ate their whole desserts and I took mine home for the hubs, since I didn't care for any of them. I had the parramore cocktail instead- very good. They have revamped the whole menu. I think they will be ok. Parking is $15 for 3 hours of valet. There is a garage across Orange for $16 as long as you want. Dress is business casual or better for dinner.

The ambiance is a little dark inside, but it gives the place a fun, laid back vibe. My only suggestion would be to offer their lunch specials for online ordering. Since they don't take phone orders, anyone with a short lunch break has to place their order in person and wait, which can be a bit inconvenient, especially when you don't know how busy they are. Overall, it's a great spot with tasty food, a unique atmosphere, and a clean, welcoming environment. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

I ordered the tequila lavender cocktail, which is nothing like I've ever tasted before. It had coconut cream, lime, tequila, and lavender. It was delicious. We started off by sharing a Caesar salad and Parmesan truffle fries. We also were served bread service with a side of garlic oil. The caesar salad was served with a Parmesan pita crisp, and the fries were very crunchy and delicious. We split two entrees: the salmon and the vegan stuffed shells. The stuffed shells were fairly small, with only 4 in the entree, but was nonetheless flavorful and delicious. I almost forgot it was vegan! The salmon was a large cut and served over a creamy risotto and was my favorite of the evening. It was delicious. We ordered the lava cake for dessert and Bojan went the extra mile by placing a birthday candle inside of it and ended up providing the dessert on the house! This was so special and we appreciated it so much.

While we were looking, the lady came out from the back with food items for someone who was already seated. Everything looked good. There was a guy waiting for his order to go, another guy waiting to eat by himself, and another lady also waiting to eat by herself. There was some interview going on between two guys- sounded like it was about the restaurant as I heard them talking about kimchi fried rice. It sounded so good, I ordered that with shrimp.

I tried some of mom's beef bento box- she got the bulgogi beef and we were both a little shocked that it was ground beef and not thin slices, but the flavor was spot on. My mom did not finish her lunch and I had a small portion of rice left. When I asked for one to go box- the lady almost seemed upset that I didn't want two! She asked me what about my leftovers? To which I said my mom was taking everything in one box. lol. We don't like to waste and I wasn't going to toss mine but it seemed silly to get another box for the little bit of rice I had.
