    Cute stuff
    Isabella J.

    This is my second time coming here and I wasn't disappointed on the first time. As a matter of fact this is day two in a row. My selections included Miso Soup, Cheese Aragon's, Dumplings, and a California Sushi Roll. First checkout the packaging. Really pretty. I would suggest eliminating plastic and go to waxed paper wrapping to keep plastic use down. We all love places that are socially engaged . Eye pleasing for sure. Everything is super fresh tasting and flavorful. I appreciate the added touch of sauces with each side item I tried. There was the staple of soy sauce, Orange sauce, Ginger, and wasabi. The Crab Rangoon's were the right amount of crunch. I would like three instead of two. They were scrupulous. Next was the dumplings. Five and they were crunchy with the cabbage and packed with flavor. I tried them with out the sauce and with and really liked their flavor and opted without Orange sauce. I moved on to my California roll which was a bargain at $5 and loves it with all the sauces. Fresh is the key word here from the rice to avocado. The sushi is YUMMMMY Last is the miso soup. Chopped up tofu and green onions sprinkled on top. Not too salty or have any fishy taste like in some other places. Big shout out to Adam who took my order and made suggestions. Thank you l.

    This meal was quite different than what I'm used to. Not that I loved it but I didn't necessarily hate it either. It was my first time so I just decided to order based off what I thought may be good, next time I go I'll order something a bit different like the shrimp noodle bowl or the sushi. After that, then I'm almost sure that the rating I give will indeed change.

It's a small lot and you do have to pay to park however, Tori Tori will validate parking for a few hours, which is nice. Because it was a Wednesday we were lucky enough to find a booth with a large table. Tori Tori is an interesting concept because you seat yourself, you order yourself and you get drinks yourself. They do have a wait staff that brings food to your table, but everything is self serve. You have to go up to the bar to order anything you want and get the check. All of the food is tapas style. We ordered quite a bit, including chicken meatballs, garlic fried rice, avocado, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, Korean fried chicken and the Wagyu dumplings. The standouts were the mushrooms and the brussel sprouts both of which were very savory and the brussel sprouts also had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, the food is good, but for a Michelin restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. I don't think it lives up to the hype. The food is just okay and personally, I think there's better tapas in Orlando, such as Bulla.

My favorite item is the Double Play sushi entree. The chef, like the other staff, knows what hes doing back there! The food comes out hot and perfectly crispy. This is a great place for brunch/dinner with friends or as a date night.

Even though…read moretheir internet was down and they couldn't take orders through their internal system, the staff was incredibly helpful. They walked us through ordering via Uber Eats instead and prepared our food as soon as we showed them the confirmation. They were even kind enough to let us dine in, despite the app being set to takeout. As for the food--it was fantastic. The Fried Chicken Bao was easily the highlight of the night. Side Note: Check the Uber Eats app before you order; they sometimes have Buy One, Get One deals on the bao! Highly recommended for a late-night fix.

The Gyoza are top notch and the dipping sauce is so yummy! The decor of the place looks amazing and creative, one of these days I'm going to head over and check it all out in person because it looks fun and inviting!

I tried the roti, the twice fried Korean wings, the coconut shrimp, the Seoul hot chicken bao bun, the pad thai, and the chow faan. The standouts were the Seoul hot chicken Bao buns and the Chow faan. I've gone several times and I would definitely recommend this franchise. Service- 5/5 the service is great. it was fast, courteous, and fun!. The servers always have a positive and energizing attitude. Note: this restaurant serves Tapas style so dishes will come out as they are prepared in the kitchen. While I don't like to share lol, the dishes are meant to be shared. Atmosphere- 5/5 I love the vibe of this place. The restaurant is decorated with many pan-asian cultural elements. In some locations, you can hear the kitchen staff communicating with each other which gives a lot of energy to the restaurant as well. The music is often R&B and/or pop which also adds to the energy of the restaurant. This place is versatile. It can be a nice date night, a family night, or even a solo dinner at the bar. Value- 4/5 Hawkers has a great value. The dishes are generally cheap, or affordable. There are a few pricey options but you can definitely have a nice, affordable dinner with many of the options on the menu. combined with the fast and quick service it's definitely a strong option. Opportunities for Learning- 4/5 There are many opportunities for learning! The menu has a variety of pan-Asian options typically articulated in the original culture. So sometimes the menu will have you googling. Many of the ingredients on the dishes are also culturally specific which provides a really authentic vibe. They often change their menu so often when I visit I leave having learned something different than I knew before I walked in!

The atmosphere has a cool laid back Orlando vibe and it's one of those places that feels unique compared to the usual taco spots around town. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the prices felt fair considering how much food you get. It's also a great late-night option when most places around the area are already slowing down. Definitely one of the more underrated spots in Orlando if you want something different from traditional tacos. Perfect place to bring friends because there's enough variety on the menu for everyone to find something they like.
