First time at Umi in Winter Park and I was l impressed especially by all the awards on the wall…read more The vibe was great and the sushi absolutely lived up to the hype. Our waitress, Jennifer, was amazing super sweet &, attentive. I had the Paradise Roll, which was incredible, and my friend ordered the Forest Roll (vegan), which was also delicious. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. It was semi busy but will be probably waited no more than 15 minutes but the service was still great. Overall, amazing sushi, great energy, and a spot I'd definitely come back to and try the Park Ave.

If you're trying to impress your date, take her to Umi. I recently went to Umi for a Valentine's…read moreDay date. Umi is located on Park Ave in Winter Park. So if you're a long time Central Florida resident, then you know that street is very walkable and super cute with the park nearby but also high end. I mean it has a Williams Sonoma, like casually. The restaurant is located at 525 S Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789. My boyfriend did get the reservation I think about a month in advance. It very much surprised me as one of my goals is to try new places in Orlando, and this was one that he had been to that I hadn't been to. So A++++ for him. So the restaurant had a super nice atmosphere but was very booked out. There were heart balloons at every table. So the decor was absolutely in the room with us lol. The service was very nice and I feel that they were very attentive and almost felt like maybe they had been trained to provide a certain feeling to customers. I'm sure they had been. Getting into the food, I'm not sure what the bill was. I wasn't allowed to look at it. I will say that I'm sure it was at least $100. I did leave feeling very full, but I do feel like that's a lot of money for me to feel full. We ordered the Misoyaki Butterfish, which was a Miso-glazed Chilean sea bass on a plate with ginger-sake eggplant, butter garlic sautéed spinach, and Japanese potato purée. It's a large plate and we did share, but it was not the whole fish. I think if I pay $45 for a fish, I want the whole fish. My rating is 8.5/10. It was incredibly delicious, but I want the rest of my fish. We also got the Kanpungi, which was fried Korean style boneless chicken bites smothered in a spicy soy sauce glaze. My rating of this is 9/10. I think it was great and was very filling for an appetizer. We accidentally ran into our friends at the restaurant, who had sent us a bottle of sake. The sake was great. We sent back a non-alcoholic cocktail they had and a sake based cocktail. I couldn't tell you what it tasted like, but the service presented and delivered back and forth between our table in a manner I can only describe as carrier pigeon-esque. They did great. I love fanfare. I think for a first date, this is a great place to bring someone you have been talking to for a little bit and want to show that you have a good stable job in this economy and like foods outside of American food. I wasn't on a first date as a note lol. My overall rating is 7.5/10. I mean I think everything was great, but that price stabbed me a little. My boyfriend did suggest to me that it would have been a higher rating if we had gotten one of the rolls. So that's on me. It is in a great walkable neighborhood though. So you are getting charged for ambiance.

I love it. One of the best ramens I had. Curry is my favorite. I love the flavor of the wings…read more The Kimchi there is DELICIOUS. Service is pretty good, nothing crazy. We like to set outside. The only thing I absolutely hate is that you can't make a reservation over the phone.

I think how busy they always are speaks to how good they are…read more While they don't allow reservations and your party must all be present before being seated, the food is delicious. Their wings are so crispy, I think they're some of the best wings I've had. I also highly recommend their Tokyo Ramen. The chicken thighs in the ramen are crispy and have great flavor. I only wish there was more broth because it was so yummy. Food came out fast and service was great.

My only complaint was the amount of duck in the duck fried rice. I wish there had been a little more of it, or that the pieces had been larger. Even so, it was still very flavorful. I'd definitely come back to try more items from the tapas menu.

This is one of the few places that when ordering takeout I don't add any sauces or spices on it once home. It's that good.

Can't go wrong with Vietnamese food! Great food, great…read morecoffee, a whole new nation of flavor! My go to is the chicken rice bowl with pickled vegetables and a fried egg. It's so flavorful and savory! I usually take it to go because the searing is limited. They have a small dining area, but it only has a few tables and a bar area to sit. The staff are always kind, and helped a lot when I was going through a vegetarian phase. If you love Vietnamese food, or you're looking to expand your pallet, this is a must try home grown spot!

The service is always fast and the food is fresh and delicious. Pro tip. I order in advance before arriving and it's ready when I get there. There are always good tunes playing and the restaurant is modern and clean. Lots of tables even though it's not a huge space. I usually get the build a bowl with glass noodles, the Korean fried chicken and a medley of veggies. It never misses. It's a good sized portion so I never leave hungry. Must try and worth the drive.

Just wow to Kabooki!!!!! Been here twice now and just getting to reviewing this spot…read more Let me first start with the staff! Great service from start to finish. Our server Michelle was very nice and offered good input to our questions about the dishes. We also had the honor to talk with Chef Henry Moso- we had a great conversation about the sushi and he even presented us with a dish. Grateful and delighted! kabooki's quality and execution of the dishes are a work of art! Both times we sat at sushi table and watched all the sushi chefs doing their magic was a great show. We started with the hamachi carpaccio and the beef carpaccio and both were chefs kiss We had the bluefin tasting which was great progression of variety of bluefin. Mauro Truffle, Kona Kampachi, leche de Tigro were tasty unique options. The use of micro greens and flowers was really pretty besides being tasty!! Definitely worth checking out!!

I ordered the fries, sushi burgers, and for the mochi, I ordered 2 matcha and 1 mango. They let you pick which 3 you want. Not listed, they told me I could get a seaweed or cucumber salad as well, so I opted for cucumber. My husband and I could have eaten off just one meal from the Bite 30 menu. The portions were huge, but luckily he just ordered the hot dog off of the regular menu. The presentations were very beautiful. The fish was super fresh. The fries were hot. Can't complain about the service either. The only complaint was that the mochi was a bit soft and melted, but they were really good.

Food was quickly prepared and we barely waited for appetizers or entrees. The rolls were well made and portion size was relatively filling. As a person with a fish allergy that enjoys non-fish sushi, it was disappointing to have no chicken options and the only cooked sushi was steak. My companions loved their selections and would definitely return. Note: Place is kinda pricey so go prepared to spend what you need to be full.
