Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Orlando

"There's a word we want to use about Domu's phenomenal curry ramen (the other varieties are palate stunners, as well) but we're not sure how to spell that noise Homer Simpson makes when he is particularly food-enthralled. Ramen, the bowls are definitely shareable, and and an array of beautifully plated pan-Asian offerings are what all the fuss is about at Domu, and the fare is definitely fuss-worthy. You can level-up your bowl with adds on including fried chicken thighs and braised pork belly, or skip the soup and go for some crispy wings or the "cheezus," a gloopy-wonderful cheesy bowl comprised, in part, of melted mozzarella, mayo, fresh roasted corn and Japanese spices."

"Domu, in East End Market, is a chic, modern space with whitewashed brick walls, cheerful murals, and edgy fixtures. House-made noodles and slow-cooked broths are just part of what makes the ramen here so good. Beyond that, a pan-Asian menu includes rice bowls, lobster buns with bonito flakes, and grilled octopus with yuzu."

"From humble beginnings helping his parents run two restaurants at the age of 15 to opening Kabooki Sushi at the age of 22 and quickly becoming one of Orlando’s most creative sushi chefs says a lot about the drive and passion of Henry Moso. His extravagant, free-for-all omakases are legendary and the ingredients he sources from local waters and those in the Pacific are unparalleled. After opening a second Kabooki Sushi in Dr. Phillips, Moso expanded and completely renovated the original restaurant on East Colonial Drive as the pandemic raged."

"From the visual aesthetics to the 10 out of 10 service and don't get me started on how delicious t..."

"Kadence is located inside a nondescript black building that looks more like a pop-up modern art museum than an actual restaurant. Inside, however, you’ll find some of the best sushi in the city, rather than installations that’ll make you wonder what is and isn’t “art.” Reservations at this nine-seat sushi counter in Audubon Park are hard to come by, but if you can’t wait three months to eat here, they also serve Japanese breakfast on the weekends and chirashi bowls filled with sashimi, vegetables, and sushi rice to go. Make this your first stop the next time you’re in Orlando."

"This tiny reservations-only establishment offers the best sushi in Orlando, if not the whole of Florida. This place does its own thing, and does it with unique style. Nine stools are all situated around a sushi prep bar where the owners Lordfer Lalicon, Mark Berdin and Jennifer Benagale prepare carefully choreographed 18-plus course sushi and sashimi meals."

"A sake and sushi bar with just nine seats (yes, reservations are absolutely mandatory), Kadence is tiny but certainly mighty on Orlando's fine dining scene. The city has many excellent sushi restaurants, but this one stands apart. The exterior is gallery-esque, just a minimalist black box of a building."

"With its glossy wraparound bar and angled bento-box ceiling, Dragonfly set the bar pretty high for modern izakayas and sushi houses in this city when it opened back in 2010. While its robata game is strong, Dragonfly’s servings of sushi and sashimi certainly have wings. Of note are the Hokkaido scallops dressed in garlic-jalapeno, the bigeye tuna kobachi tossed in a spicy sesame oil blend and the indulgent sashimi passion, available in composed 7- and 21-piece platters."

"It would be hard not to have fun at this hip Japanese cafe which serves sharable food in a fun, upbeat atmosphere. The restaurant prides itself on serving the freshest sushi and sashimi, along with authentic robatayaki grill fare. Robata grilling (over charcoal) is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Japanese cooking, and you see can see it in action at Dragonfly’s open kitchen."

"There are few foods more classically suited for takeout than Chinese. Before there was a proliferation of foam clamshell boxes and plastic containers, there was the folded paperboard box with wire handle that became synonymous with Chinese takeout. So much so that even today the emoji for takeout food is that little box."

"Found at: Loews Royal Pacific ResortBut Feels Like You’re in: The South SeasReservations Accepted: Yes (and Recommended)Suggested Attire: Resort CasualPrice: $$$ (entrees $24-$36). Tchoup Chop (pronounced chop-chop) is Emeril Lagasse’s second restaurant at the Universal Orlando Resort. Your first time through the door is liable to take your breath away, as the restaurant boasts some of the most beautiful and interesting décor in Orlando."

"After having fun in Universal Orlando we moved to Tchoup Chop for lunch. I must say the best experience I have ever had. The food, atmosphere and…"

"While you can look out for promo codes, you can also check out places reviewed by users for offering an excellent value, like New Tasty Wok in Colonialtown South, Ms. Tea’s Bento in Scottish Glenn, Lu Garden in Kirkman South, Lam’s Garden Restaurant in Coytown, and Sunflower Chinese restaurant in Conway."

"There are a lot of tasty reasons to visit Orlando's trendy Audubon Park district, about 15 minutes from downtown, and this local haunt is one of them. It spent nearly a decade building a reputation as one of the top craft beer bars in the nation before becoming a microbrewery in its own right. In addition to house originals, several other craft breweries are represented on any given night, ranging from native Florida brewhouses to eclectic imports for more than two dozen choices."

"Redlight Redlight Beer Parlor and Brewery is an independently owned bar and brewery founded in 2014 and focus on sour and wild beers. Located in Audoban park eco-district area of Orlando and another location in Winter Park. With 24 rotating taps, including 8 of their house brews and over 250 bottle selection the host a Happy hour Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm and 1-4 pm on Saturday and all day Sunday!"

"With wide-open digs in Audubon Park, Redlight Redlight is the bar of choice for many of Orlando's craftiest craft brew aficionados and already has 10 years under its belt. Its ridiculously ample beer list might feel overwhelming to some, but staffers are always happy to help. Belly up and order your favorite or sample, sample, sample."

"This music inspired Orlando Craft brewery with bright-colored artist murals lining the wall was founded by Charles Frizzell and Adam. The brewery recently split from Broken Cauldron which used to take up half the taproom. Try one of the beers on tap such as Send me an Angel a 9% ABV double milkshake stout, Purple Mane a pale ale, Lions Lager, Hefefield a hefeweizen and, and 12% ABV Sugared Stout Peanut butter cup stout."

"Next on my list of breweries in Orlando, it’s the Broken Strings Brewery!. Located near Camping World Stadium and the Orlando City Soccer Stadium, this is one of the best breweries in Orlando for sporting fans. With a signature milkshake stout (don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it!) and some awesome pale ales on offer, you’ve got to pay this place a visit if you happen to be in the area."

"Located inside the Rosen Plaza Hotel, this nightclub is easily accessible in the city. 3Nine has a well decorated and extremely attractive patio bar which runs round the clock. Another bar is situated inside the club to keep you going while you are busy dancing on the best music beats."
