Sashimi
Steph T.

It's an open ultra modern buffet with no traces of the old restaurant, FC, anywhere near here! We were greeted right away and told to help ourselves to a styrofoam container and jump right into the To-Go Buffet experience. The To-Go Buffet was $6.99/lb for basics and $12.99/lb for sushi. I don't think the sushi price is worth it for the money. The decent: Butter Potatoes, Broccoli and Chicken, Pepper Steak, Fried Rice The bland: Chicken Potstickers, Lo Mein, and all the rest When you want some food court Chinese (minus Bourbon Chicken), but you don't feel like making the long trek through the malls..

Decided to stop by Yami as it is fairly new to Metro West. The prices looked fair and it was very clean looking, even had a few Gatcha machines at the front. The service was good from the attendant who helped us as we got a buffet plate to go so we could sample a bit of everything for a snack. That is really where the issue is, is that while the pricing is not bad...it is not good for the bland food that we tried. Nothing really stood out and the 3 different chickens we tried all kind of tasted the same. The lo mein noodles were the worst I've ever had, I even didn't eat them all as it was basically spaghetti. Now the sushi was decent, but you could get cheaper and similar/better quality at Publix or Whole Foods. Maybe if you do the app you can eat there for the sushi then it'd be worth it. But unfortunately I can not recommend this buffet as much as I was hoping to love it

Food: quality was good and a pretty good variety of options, ranging from traditional Asian food to typical American bbq. There's also fruits and deserts were good, fruits are more watery than sweet, desert was good :) Service: when walking in was instantly directed to seating and asked what drinks we would like, waitresses continuously travel throughout to take away garbage and assist with any questions or requests. The restaurant is very clean and definitely one of the best buffet spots in Orlando.

This use to be Friendly Confines and I'm so glad this restaurant is here now. The old restaurant was gutted and completely remodeled. Everything is sharp and clean. It's located in a shopping plaza that has a Publix that's being remodeled. It's on the right hand side of Hiawassee so a lot of people might not notice it even though they have grand opening signs out front. We live under one mile away, so I've been waiting for it to open. My favorite was the tuna tataki, salmon sashimi, and sushi. My second plate was mistakenly regular Chinese buffet food and I couldn't eat anymore - well I did have a piece of cheesecake, but there's always room for dessert. It was on the sweet side, but I just didn't eat the crust and it was good. My husband tried the hibachi and the shrimp were medium to large sized. I hate to recommend this place because I don't want to have to wait to get in, this place is great. You can't beat the $21 price tag and $15 weekday lunch.

I was craving Tasty Wok (again) & decided to order 2 more dishes that I haven't had in years…read more Mandarin Egg Tofu With House Sauce Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce These 2 dishes are HOUSE SPECIALTIES so that means they are known to be unique dishes and delicious. Mandarin Egg Tofu - Egg tofu is very delicious and is similar to silken tofu consistency and this dish is delicious. It has pork strips, enoki mushrooms , mini corn, snap peas, green onions. The egg tofu is fried first and once you bite into it its very tender and silky smooth texture and kind of creamy. This is my favorite tofu. The house sauce is a big brown based sauce. The snap peas seemed a little overcooked losing its bite and crunchy texture nonetheless still a memorable delicious dish. This would be a great vegetarian dish if you opt out the pork strips, Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce - This is usually served or listed on the menu as a rice plate dish. I usually eat this dining in and its a delicious plate entree. They use Swai filets for this dish. For $1 extra you can order it as a dish with rice on the side and you get more fish filets etc separate. This is a lightly battered fish filets fried and topped with house brown sauce with slithers of onions and red / green bell peppers. Of course the brown sauce is black bean sauce so you will see speckles of black beans with the sauce. There are ginger notes as well when you devour this dish. The fish filets are cooked perfectly so soft and tender. The rice served here can be better imo. Perhaps better brand or grain rice? Also ordered my regulars ; Walnut Shrimp, Beef Chow Fun. Walnut Shrimp - Request ordering this (take out only) having the broccoli stored separately. This provides the shrimp dish to not be soggy. I think you get more shrimps this way too. Tasty Wok's walnut shrimp is by far the best in orlando imo - they really seasoned the shrimp itself prior to dressing it with their creamy sauce. The sauce has a tad sweetness to it & some sort of umami. The shrimps are jumbo large sized. You get about 10-12? Shrimps in this dish. I have had my share of tasting this dish at different restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's is by far my favorite. Beef Chow Fun - Another favorite from Tasty Wok. Wok Hei present, Tender seasoned beef thinly sliced, and Tender wide noodles. It was under seasoned salt wise but eating it with their creamy sauce seasoned beef makes up for it. Again, ate my share of Beef Chow Fun at many restaurants and by far Tasty Wok's have been my favorite thus far. They offer free mini tubs of chili oil upon request. Also chopsticks. Tasty wok do not seem busy dining in but they are busy with take out orders.

*4.5 but rounded to 5…read more I've been going to Tasty Wok since their old location across the street on E Colonial Drive. It was a hole-in-the-wall dive but still authentic back then. The staff were friendly and prompt. We came around late lunch and it was picking up after we were seated. The space is wide and has the old traditional Chinese restaurant aesthetics with a slight modernization. You can see all the crispy meats hanging at the front counter like a traditional shop. We ordered the Shrimp Wonton Soup with Egg Noodles. My go-to for comfort food. I've been a customer since college days and they make one of the best shrimp wontons. I know they've tweaked the recipe a little since the shrimp filling used to be ground up, which was better, but it didn't take away from the freshness. The broth is consistently flavorful with fresh greens and egg noodles. I somehow like the texture of the noodles more than the spaghetti size ones. We ordered the Crispy pork Belly and Duck combo which is really well seasoned. Some bites may be a little salty but it balances out with the rice. You can hear the crunch on the pork belly which is my favorite. We also got the Beef Chow Fun. It's wide noodles and cooked with scallions, beansprouts, and white onions. It was cooked over a flame so you can taste a hint of a char which is not overwhelming or greasy. It's the perfect balance to all the items. What I didn't order was the Water Spinach but it is one of my favorite vegetable dishes. You have to try it when it's available! I had hot tea with it and lots of hot chili oil in my dishes! I am happy they have remained pretty consistent in the dishes. Only on a couple occasions it was off but not many times. There's a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. They share it with other popular spots like Haan Coffee, Sampaguita, etc.

It's your no frills, hole in the wall Chinese spot. Coming from the Bay Area, we have our share of…read moregood Chinese food and this spot hit the spot after a long day at the theme park. It's about a 20 min Uber ride from Epic Universe, and while they close at 10:30, they stop serving dine in customers around 9:30 PM. Fortunately I called at 9:10 to let them know we were on the way, and they told us they'd allow us to dine in. I appreciate that. The menu is pretty big. Prices are really good for the portion and all entrees come with rice. Can't beat that. I didn't see any noodle soups on the menu but I saw on Yelp someone had a duck noodle soup so we asked if this was offered. They said they could do it. The broth and noodles were good but the duck tasted a little old. We eat a lot of duck so we're kind of picky, but I think for most people, this would be just fine. We also ordered the honey walnut shrimp, mongolian beef, and beef chow fun. The shrimps were really big, lightly battered, but they smothered the dish in that mayo sauce lol Once you wipe off some of the mayo, it's pretty good though. I loved that they served this with steamed broccoli cause greens ya know? And they offered a good amount of walnuts for that crunch. The mongolian beef was delicious and while there were a lot of onions, there was also a lot of tender beef. The flavor was good, not too sweet, not too salty, and not spicy either, despite all the dried peppers. Beef chow fun was a hit. You can really taste the smoky wok hei flavor which makes it authentic. The beef was tender, the ho fun noodles whole and intact. Paired with their chili oil, so good! The chili oil is upon request only, they don't leave it on the table. Be warned, it does have a nice heat to it!. Service was prompt and courteous. For $71, we were able to have a quick, tasty dinner for 3.5 people (3 adults, one 5 year old). Can't beat that.
