ORLReview
Come to this walk-in-only Japanese pub to unwind with fun food that comes on a stick and Happy Hour deals. They have 35 types of sake, plus fizzy highballs and bites that are way better than your typical bar sliders: delicious salty chicken skin yakitori skewers, spicy yuzu pepper shrimp, and grilled shoyu quail eggs. The huge space is always full of people chatting, and perfect for sharing small plates with whatever new friend you made at the bar because you were eyeing their snacks.
Try to snag a reservation at Soseki, a 10-seat omakase spot doing edo-style nigiri and creative small plates in Winter Park.
Orlando is a city of excellent sushi, Vietnamese, and tons of exciting new spots.
Lee & Rick’s is an Orlando Institution in Orlo Vista where you should eat seafood at the bar.
Stop by these spots when you need a bite—and a break from the Disney theme parks.
