Listen, did I crumble to the pressure of social media and drag my family along for these damn sushi push pops.....yes. Yes I didn't. We got the California roll, crunchy spicy tuna and paradise roll. Was this something ground breaking??? Not the sushi itself, but the delivery system..... heck yeah. The sushi was still great. Dreads, rice was perfect on the rolls, solid sushi. But of course the mechanics of eating a sushi roll from a papertowel-esk roll, was unmatched. 10 stars for delivery system read more

WAVE Asian Bistro & Sushi - Paradise roll in sushi push pop - Japanese Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

We stopped to Wave after our trip to Orlando. I made a special trip on our way home to Jax. They did not disappoint. The service was excellent. Food was really good. The restaurant is spacious and happy hour has good options as well; especially for first timers wanting to try a few appetizers. the hand rolls are a generous portion. I loved their version of a dynamite roll. If you're a fan of the standard dynamite, this one may not be for you. We also had the sunrise roll. We enjoyed everything. The only thing I thought was just okay was the Rangoon cheese sticks. They weren't bad. I just don't have to order them again. When we're back in area out passing through, it'll be on our list for sure. This was our first stop in Mount Dora. It's a cute little town. We enjoyed ourselves. read more

I just want to take a minute to shout out the staff especially Jonathan the FOH manager who helped me in a major way. I received a gift card for the wave in October 2025 and digitally could not find it anywhere . I called the wave and Jonathan was incredibly nice with me and stated he would call me back and work with his tea to locate it. I thought they wouldn't be able to find it but he did ! And that next day went to the wave and used it. Our server was very nice as well! So all in all the staff was super . As for the food, I would say 4/5. We had the Krab Rangoon cheese sticks and they were just okay- I heard people rave about them but I didn't see the hype. We ordered soup which was just okay. Didn't have a ton of flavor . and the sushi was the best thing. It tasted very fresh so next time I'll just stick to the sushi read more

Oh my goodness! We sat down at Wave for an early dinner during our Mount Dora trip. Just looking at the menu alone is amazing! This restaurant does a fun twist on the Asian fusion theme. Their fun and creative ideas made placing our order just a little bit harder. The krab rangoon mozzarella sticks were my absolute favorite! Fried perfectly with an extra crisp and creamy on the inside. Another favorite was their mocktail that came in an actual Chinese take out box! It was fun to drink. My friends loved the sushi fries and sushi hot dog. I was not a big fan of the sushi burger. The buns are made out of fried sushi rice. I thought the buns were just too thick. I ate half of one bun with the spicy salmon filling. However, portions are fairly large and shareable. Over all, food was good and presentation 10/10! The vibe of this restaurant is chill. The walls are painted with cool graphics making it a cool spot for photos. Our waitress was helpful with recommendations and checked on us often. My only complaint: there is no WiFi here! I checked twice with my waitress just to be certain. She probably thought I was crazy...lol read more

Kids were so excited to try everything. Burritos were tasty and large definitely can be shared. My favorite was the sushi fries. Sangria was flavorful and strong. Service was basic. Atmosphere was warm and relaxing. We celebrated a birthday which they do not do anything to recognize but we enjoyed the overall experience. read more

Wave has such a unique menu! It's hard to pick one thing to try. We had a cocktail and I ordered a sushi taco. This may be one of the best sushi presentations and taste I've had. I did have them add spicy mayo to the taco since it doesn't come with it. We do not live in the area but would definitely stop in again if passing through. Don't pass this place up if you're a sushi fan. read more

Tried WAVE Asian Bistro when I was in Mount Dora with my mom. She had been before and definitely wanted us to have dinner here while we were visiting. We were seated almost immediately, and our waitress was super friendly and helpful. We started with the chicken lettuce wraps, which were delicious and really flavorful. The only thing we felt they were missing was a sauce, but we got some yum yum sauce and it was exactly what they needed. We also got a side of kimchi, which we added to the lettuce wraps, so good! We also tried the Tsunami Roll with shrimp, krab, spicy tuna, avocado, jalapeño, hot sauce, and white sauce. It was delicious, but FYI, the pieces are MASSIVE! We also got the Tuna Supreme Pizza, which was really good and such a creative presentation. I loved how unique and creative the menu was. There were so many interesting things I wanted to try! Definitely a very cool spot to stop by if you're in the Mount Dora area. read more

Tried the Golden Buddha roll (shrimp tempura with plantain + mango sauce) and a chicken hibachi bowl - both were incredible. The roll had the perfect touch of sweetness from the plantain, and the hibachi was packed with flavor... everything cooked perfectly. We showed up at 7:52 with no reservation (they close at 9) and were quoted a 35 min wait. I double checked that it was okay with the kitchen closing soon and they reassured us it was no problem - and they meant it. They kept taking names and never turned anyone away. The staff was seriously impressive - everyone was moving nonstop. Hosting, serving, running food, packing to-go orders, bussing... a full team effort and it showed. We were seated right at the 35 min mark, never felt rushed, and our waitress MyKayla made sure to let us know when the kitchen was closing so we could get anything else in. Super thoughtful. Also, some of the menu items are WILD. A guy nearby got his dish, started laughing, and said "how do I even eat this?!" We couldn't stop watching If you want top-notch sushi/hibachi AND a little food adventure... this is your spot. read more

Excellent food and service! Came here based off of some TikTok videos I saw. I arrived and was able to join a mobile waitlist from my vehicle. Once seated, I ordered a Holy Crab, Over the Rainbow, and a Godzilla. All three were phenomenal! The Holy Crab (not on menu) was crab and you dip it into a warm butter ponzu. Holy cow this was my favorite. Over the Rainbow was a California roll topped with diced tuna, salmon, yellowtail, spicy mayo, eel sauce, masago, and scallions. The Godzilla roll was tempura shrimp, smoked salmon, avocado, topped with seaweed salad, fried shredded krab, and eel sauce. Loved the seaweed salad and the fried shredded krab salad! I also ordered a soft shell crab tacos to go. This was a tempura fried nori shell filled with a fried soft shell crab, seaweed salad, sushi rice, scallion, sesame seeds, eel sauce, and masago. This was good but would have been better in person and not as take home. Would definitely come back & recommend! read more

Wave Sushi in Mount Dora is such a fun and unexpected gem! From the moment you walk in, the place feels lively and artsy -- the walls are covered in bright, anime-style murals of sushi rolls, ramen waves, and sea creatures, giving it such a cool and playful vibe. It's casual but still feels special, perfect for a weekend outing or a foodie adventure. Now let's talk about the food -- because wow. They've taken sushi and turned it into the most imaginative menu ever! Sushi burgers, hotdogs, burritos, tacos, pizza, and even donuts -- every item is an edible work of art. I tried the Tuna Poke Taco and it was a showstopper: layers of fresh salmon, tuna, avocado, and crispy tempura nori with the perfect drizzle of eel sauce. It's basically sushi meets sculpture, and every bite was amazing. The pork belly bao buns were melt-in-your-mouth tender with a great balance of sweetness and crunch, and the plating looked as good as it tasted. Service was friendly and attentive, and even though some of the dishes take a bit longer to prepare (since they're made fresh and beautifully plated), it's totally worth the wait. Whether you're a sushi traditionalist or just love unique food experiences, Wave Sushi is one of those spots that'll make you smile from the first bite to the last photo. read more

The creativity of the dishes was nothing short of exquisite and tasted divine. The food options are truly a sushi lovers dream. The Krab Rangoon Mozzarella sticks were the perfect amount of cheesy and warm flavor and then fried to perfection. The show stopper was definitely the Sushi Crunch Wrap and was definitely a size to share. My sister and I devoured it and thought the textures and flavors went together masterfully. The server was very kind and we had no issues. The Ambiance wasn't anything fancy, but the wall murals were super cute! All in all a delectable meal and would go back again. read more

Amazing sushi experience! We made a special trip to finally try WAVE and were glad we did. We tried the crab cheese sticks, the Crunchwrap, and the sushi pizza - all were gorgeous and delicious. We would have tried more but we're stuffed. The waitress was fantastic, everyone was nice, and the decor was fun. It's a looong drive for us, but I'd love to go back. read more

Wave serves a lot of food, and their menu really shines when it comes to creative sushi rolls. If you're looking to try something unique and fun, this is a great spot to explore different flavors. The crab rangoons are a must-order. They're warm, comforting, and perfect for sharing with the table. I'd give Wave 4 out of 5 stars. The food is flavorful, creative, and enjoyable, but the ambiance falls a little short for me. The tables and chairs feel more casual than I expected, and the overall atmosphere isn't quite as elevated as the food. That said, the sushi is fun, the portions are generous, and everything tastes great. I'd definitely come back for the food! read more

Had an absolutely amazing experience at wave!! It has been on my must try list for a loooooong time. The food absolutely lived up to my expectations. We ordered the crab rangoon mozzarella sticks, sushi tacos, sushi tots, a sushi hot dog, and ramen. Every single thing was delicious and well prepared. There was an ample amount of fish on every dish. The mozzarella are something that I will continue to dream about. Our server was super friendly and answered any questions we had! Inside the restaurant was nice with lots of seating. Definitely a MUST if you're in the area. read more

Thank you, Jess for being so kind to us when we dined in recently. Happy hour is so worth the 45-minute drive from our side of town. We shared the bulgogi and kraken sushi roll, with rounds of Sapporo. WAVE redid the parking lot which makes it a lot more pleasant to reach this place by foot. read more

I can see why this place gets great reviews. First, I love the unique artwork inside of the restaurant. The service was quick and for sushi for a table of four I thought the sushi came out very fast. I love the different and unique options they had. I saw sushi burgers, sushi, pizza, sushi, nachos, and other things. I had the pork baos, this super Mexican role and the Godzilla role. All were fantastic. The super Mexican was my favorite out of the bunch. The pork belly was really tender, and the Godzilla roll had a good smoked salmon flavor. read more

So this place is pretty different when it comes to sushi and their take on it. They have the sushi burrito and sushi pizza, which is honestly not bad. It's different, both are very filling. So don't order too many things at once. The employees were kind to me as it was my first time and helped with recommendations. This place was good and do think people should come and try it out. read more

Catch this WAVE in Mt. Dora! This spacious sushi experience in downtown Mt. Dora is serving up tasty bites, perfect for a fun lunch with friends and/or family. I was seated quickly and the friendly Mykala was ready to take my order. The Harumaki (veggie rolls) with sweet chili sauce was good, though a bit more doughy than I prefer. My seaweed salad was delicious and with a bit of a kick to it. I had to go with the Mt. Dora Roll, featuring crab, shrimp, avocado, and eel sauce and it was polished off with glee. I'll return next time for their bao buns, beef bulgogi, or the No. 19 Special (if I'm really hungry). FYI - if you use a credit card here there is a 3% processing fee so bring cash, if you can. Dining here? Pretty swell. Shaka! read more

My sister and I love sushi so decided to check out Wave for their Bite30 promotion since it seemed unique. Appetizer, entree, and dessert for $39 was a great deal considering their normal menu prices. For appetizers we tried the crab rangoon mozzarella sticks and the Wave nachos. The nachos had a great spice to them, and I thought the use of wontons as chips was clever. The mozzarella sticks stole the show though. They were by far the best thing I ate all night!! They were huge, stuffed full, and ate so cheesy and gooey. As a bonus, they came served with the most delicious dipping sauce. For entrees, we chose the sushi hotdog and the tuna supreme sushi pizza. I didn't taste the hotdog, but it was huge and packed full of stuff. The pizza was really good. I actually enjoyed just eating the toppings off of it (without the rice) instead of biting into it like a pizza. It was very spicy, which I enjoyed, plus every inch of it was packed with toppings! It was very filling. Dessert was a Vietnamese tiramisu. Not sure what made it Vietnamese because in my opinion it tasted like a regular tiramisu. It was just ok, nothing special. It needed more cream and coffee flavor. That was the only real disappointment of the meal. Overall this was a fun and tasty take on some sushi classics. read more

As usual, this restaurant always has delicious food for us when we come to Mount Dora. I love all things sushi, and you can't go wrong with any of the rules here. If you've tried any of their fun sushi creations like their donuts, tacos, pizza be prepared should just order one because it is very filling. Parking is a little interesting, but that's the only negative, that I have. Otherwise the bathrooms have a fun wallscape, and the staff are always friendly tentative. read more

Not your usual Sushi restaurant, with that said parking can be a bit tough especially on a weekend in Mt. Dora. The restaurant is actually quite big with ample seating downside the chairs a little rough - metal chairs with not much padding - better have some natural cushion...lol Wide variety of menu options with the not so traditional sushi items. Service was a bit slow this day with average table occupancy but was accomadating with special request to our orders. Ordered the Sushi Pizza - with all Salmon and the sauces on the side. Sushi Donut with non spicy krab mixture and the Bulgogi no fried egg and Kimchi. Everything tasted great and our special order request was made exactly as we wanted. The Sushi Donut was probably the best item on the menu. Craving the not so usual sushi in Mt Dora go here!!! read more

This was my first visit to Wave and it was delicious and creative! It was very busy as it was the day after Thanksgiving and many people were in downtown Mount Dora to look at the Christmas lights, which are beautiful as well. I ordered the poke taco and it tasted very fresh the shell was crispy and the avocado and rice were great too. Parking can be a bit of a headache in downtown Mount Dora so you may have to walk a little bit ,but if you are sushi lover, definitely try Wave! Service was ok, I had to remind them of my drink order but other than that , was good. read more

Let me start by saying this: I do not usually wait for +30 minutes to eat somewhere. I made an exception and it was worth it!! Jessica was our waitress and she did a great job waiting on our family of 5. We ordered the Wave nachos, and calamari as appetizers. The nachos were better than the calamari in my opinion, but it was good as well. I shared the photo of our food with some friends of ours and we are making plans to go back. 10 out of 10 recommend!! read more

If you're in Mt. Dora, I'd give this place a try. It's not worth a long trip if you're not in the area, but decent enough to go. Don't wear your best shoes as the entrance was off of a dusty, gravel alley. I don't know how temporary that is, but that was the experience at the end of 2024. The Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks were soooooo delicious. One of the more creative things I've seen in my adventures. The were gooey and had a nice mix of mozzarella and crab rangoon filling. The chili sauce was a great touch too! Bring more! 5-Star Dish! The Poke Taco was loaded with fresh fish and was absolutely amazing. The price seemed high until it came out, then I understood! So good! The atmosphere is more church basement turned into a restaurant than the cozy modern asian fusion place they're trying to portray. The cocktails were terrible. They're all Sake based and they tried to mimic "real" cocktails with them, and for me, that failed. Just push Sake and Beer instead of this. They looked amazing, but ewwwww. We weren't fans. I doubt I'd go back as there are other restaurants I'd like to try in Mt. Dora and it's a good hour away from me. The atmosphere and cocktails kinda ruined the experience for me. I can get better sushi closer to home. We wouldn't rule out stopping for those cheese sticks though. read more

Came here with my friend for Bite30, they had a 38$ pre fix menu which was a steal. Really good place to eat when you want to spend a day/night in Mt Dora. All of the sushi creations they make and post on their instagram page are so cool too. In regards to what we ate I wasn't a huge fan of the krab rangoon mozzarella sticks it was more cheese than anything but the nachos were even better in my opinion. We also ate the sushi hotdog and the sushi pizza and both were really good. They were out of the Vietnamese tiramisu, so we switched for fried Oreos which you can't go wrong with. read more

WAVE Asian Bistro & Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

This was just not for me and I hate that because I love all things sushi. I also have heard and seen other people rave about this place so maybe I just went on an off day or it's just not my taste I'm not sure. The service was a little off because I ordered a salmon hand roll and got tuna instead which was fine because I like either but a server who wasn't our waitress brought it and told me what it was and I didn't say anything because I like either fish and thought that out waitress probably didn't realize because she was busy. Well our waitress came by after we were eating and said "oh yea I put in the wrong order for you sorry". It was just weird that she came after the fact to tell me she knows she put in the wrong order.. Anyways maybe I'll give it another shot one day. I know a lot of other people who swear by this place so it could just be me. read more

I came because I saw a lot of sponsored, but it was just ok. The mozzarella sticks with crab was good, they are huge. The taco was delicious. Cocktail was too sweet!

Yuzu creme brûlée was too sweet and no sour taste from the yuzu, unfortunately. read more

Our visit left a sour taste in more ways than one. The rice was underseasoned and stiff, not the glossy, lightly vinegared bite you expect from a fresh roll. But the real disappointment came from the imitation crab in the roll. It tasted processed and artificial, with a sweet, chemical flavor that overwhelmed any other ingredient. The texture was mushy and paste-like, not the satisfying, slightly chewy snap you get from real crab. Color looked unnaturally bright, which didn't help the perception of freshness. It felt like the crab flavor was being shoved into the roll with too much sauce, masking the lack of real seafood rather than balancing it. For a place to call itself a sushi spot, these fundamentals were off. If you're going to use imitation crab, at least ensure it's of better quality, properly seasoned, and used in a way that doesn't dominate the whole roll. I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend this option to others seeking decent sushi. read more

Went to lunch with my daughter at Wave Asian Bistro & Sushi. We arrived as soon as they opened at 1100, and were immediately greeted and seated. The wait staff was very polite and attentive checking on us several times and collecting our drinks. She offered to answer any and all questions. This is not your typical Sushi place! They take Sushi and present it as other types of food. I had a sushi crunch wrap. It was so large that I gasp when it arrived. I chuckled at my daughter's dish. She ordered the "hot dog" sushi, which didn't have any hot dog in it at all. It simply appeared to look like a hot dog. It's certainly a conversation starter. So if you are into sushi and you want to try something that tastes great and looks unique, look no further than that the Wave Asian Bistro. I did look around the restaurant and there were lots of other people eating normal or regular sushi, rice bowls and everything you would find at a typical Asian restaurant. So if you want the typical Asian dish it's there as well. read more
