Orlando is so much associated with tourist city that you wouldnt think a local japanese restaurant…read morewould be so good offering authentic and unique cuisine with a twist. Quality here is really great you wouldnt believe they offer real hokkaido uni and assortment of Japanese sushi white fish prepared so fresh. To top it off they remembered my reservation for my wife's bday and gave a free bday dessert with a candle on top. Service is excellent our server surprised us by knowing so much about great japanese dishes and how they should be prepared. The interior threw us off because it is so nicely designed and is in a plaza next door to a 4 guys we thought it was another tourist trap but I was glad to be so wrong about my initial impressions. Wish they had a restaurant just like this back home as they hit the spot and did more that just check the boxes on my scorecard. Would return if I was ever back in town in the future.

A much disappointing and different experience than Baldwin Park which is nearly perfect. I arrived…read morewhen the restaurant was just opening and the hostess said she didn't have any tables available and the entire restaurant was almost empty. Then I noticed not a single soul sitting at the sushi bar and she said it would be a few minutes. Ok that's fine, but then we were seated next to 2 girls who had a "service dog" in the restaurant that was actually barking because I thought it was just children(This is not a joke). Most of the rolls I ordered weren't filled with any fish(all California rolls dressed up as pricy rolls) just had slight fish on top and I had to specifically ask for the "classic sushi menu" as it was not offered. Would avoid. Naomi we both know that putting a vest on a normal dog doesn't make it a service dog

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.

A good place to be in if you like Japanese bar food…read more The decors were composed of a ton of old Japanese advertisements. They had interesting seating arrangements, like bars and window seating can only be sit by parties of two. Getting a space was not easy. Hostess was kind and helpful. Food: fried chicken was a bit dry. Not the Japanese crunchy puffy shell kind. Not bad. Yakitoris are all excellent! Nothing to complain. We ordered everything on the menu. All are good. All cooked to American perfection. Gyoza was good. Nothing to write home about. Ramen: tonkusut black was excellent. Broth was done with time. Tori was good. Also thick broth! Would definitely come back again.

Just like my review from before, Susuru is still one of my favorite restaurants in Orlando. It's…read morestill such a fun retro izakaya whenever I'm craving ramen or Japanese style tapas, and the service is always top notch. We almost always have Asuka as our server, and she's seriously the sweetest. She's always so welcoming and somehow always recommends something that ends up becoming a new favorite. They've added more ramen to the menu since my last review, and the Tan Tan ramen has quickly become one of my favorites. The spicy sesame peanut broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. If I'm not in the mood for ramen, I always go with the shiso butter yaki onigiri with a side of pork chashu. They torch the butter right at your table, which is such a fun touch, and it smells incredible. The mentaiko fries are still a must order every single visit, and for dessert you can't skip the matcha tiramisu or the taro ice cream with the hot green tea. The ramen, grilled meats, addicting appetizers, fun drinks, awesome atmosphere, and consistently amazing staff are exactly why I keep coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

The food was okay overall, but the quality and service were very disappointing…read more Some of the beef was extremely tough, with too much connective tissue and tendon. The beef ribs were mostly fat and still very tough to chew. The chicken was woody breast, making it dry and very difficult to eat. The rice was even worse. They replaced it three times. The first two batches were hard, and the third batch was actually undercooked. The service was by far the biggest disappointment. Even though ordering is done on an iPad, they still kept forgetting items. We had to remind the staff multiple times before the food finally arrived. Every dish took 10-15 minutes or longer to arrive, yet customers are expected to finish their meal within a 90-minute time limit. This is a Japanese BBQ restaurant where the staff is simply bringing out raw meat for customers to grill at the table. There is really no reason it should take 10-15 minutes to deliver each order. To make it even more frustrating, the restaurant wasn't even busy. During our entire meal, there were only two or three other tables occupied, so it's hard to understand why the service was so slow and disorganized. To make matters worse, an 18% service charge was automatically added to the bill. I don't mind paying a service charge for good service, but charging that much when the service is this slow and disappointing feels completely unjustified. Our bill was over $210 for three people, and that didn't even include any drinks. At that price, there are many better Japanese BBQ options available. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend this place.

We loved the Ginger Salad so much we got two plates, and the Chicken Thigh Skewers were incredible. The Veggie Gyoza and Edamame were good, the Wontons were decent, and while the Short Rib Buns had amazing flavor, the buns were unfortunately a little soggy. But the absolute star of the dinner was the Create Your Own Sushi, Uramaki rolls. We ordered multiple plates and the fish was incredibly fresh, everything about the sushi was perfect. We capped it off with a fantastic dessert round of Mochi Ice Cream and a Mochi Donut (a delicious twist on a churro). Easily one of our favorite spots on Sand Lake!
