Passionity Office — Restaurant in Apopka

We try to support our local businesses every weekend by not dining at chain restaurants and visiting local owned small businesses. We really wanted to like this place as one of our favorite sushi restaurants, Hatsuhana, closed about the same time this one opened in the same vicinity. One of the owners was assisting in taking our order, and she got us off on the wrong foot from the start. We asked if they had Uni, and she said no "because it had to be served fresh." OK, we were sitting right in front of the sushi that the sushi chef was making, so that comment didn't leave a good taste in our mouths as we'd like to assume everything they serve is fresh. Next, we asked her what the grilled vegetables were that day, and she replied, "Broccoli and onions." OK, not much of a veggie selection, so we skipped over those. How about the wings? The waitress asked if we wanted "mild, medium or hot?" So, I mentioned that the menu had 2 that looked interesting (garlic teriyaki, mild, and a kimchi). So, thinking the kimchi might be interesting but not wanting hot, I asked for a little of each of those 2 on the side with the wings. The owner heard this and said "no, you can only have one sauce." So, we went with the garlic teriyaki which came on the side (actually a relatively large container in the middle of the wings), and it was quite good. I'm not sure what it would have hurt to let us try the kimchi as it sounded interesting, and we'd have been happy to have received less of the teriyaki if that is what it would take. We also ordered the Tuna Negiri to start and after repeatedly inquiring on it's whereabouts as the other food came out, it eventually showed up as the last item served. The real topper on the visit was when the owner walked past the table as we were eating and we could swear she said "that's a lot of food, be careful or you'll get fat!' We think she was kidding!?!?? Anyway, the food was OK, not sure why the Sashimi Set was served on top of ice but our guess is that is how they...

So before I even attempt to eat my takeout, I just paid for 2 classic rolls. I am a party of 1 and was charged a "large party" gratuity of 18% in addition to a take out gratuity of 5% and a packing fee of 5%. They are catching me on the right day because on principle, I should be walking my tail back in there for a refund on my gratuities. Even if it is good, they already left a bad taste in my mouth.

The gentleman who took my order was quick and said it would take 20 minutes and it only took 10-15. They have a cute patio area where I sat and waited for my food. The inside is very small and smoky. I would only eat outside or takeout.

I'll update my review after I eat.

I've eaten. The presentation of the food was nice. I ordered two classic roles.The sushi was good, not the best I had, but good. I am not sure I will return because the cashier only explained my bill after I asked for the breakdown since it seemed high. I don't like deceptive practices.

My advice- don't overcharge people. You can have a mediocre product, great service and that will enable a return customer. But deceptive practices will always make a great...

Great addition to Apopka!

Excellent location and service. Small restaurant with decent amount of indoor seating. Several tables outside. The service is truly excellent.

Now good. It feels fresh and made with care. The team working looks like they are fully invested and wants your to have a good experience.

I will surely came back and try more options.

Also the prices are fair. Lunch menu is affordable

Updated Feb. 13: The service continues to be super excellent. Very attentive and helpful. A few little things to improve: The initial salad is great but the tomatoes are consistently not good. Either because they are frozen or old. I’m not sure.

I’m starting to feel that the best route is get sushi and not stir-fry. The grill chicken rice platter was just okay or even less. The vegetables continue to feel like they were frozen and not treated well. The chicken part was concerning: it almost look like chicharrón (frozen pork skin), was tough, dry and cutting that small made...
