Read moreThis place has amazing nigiri/temaki with decent price for high quality fish. It’s a fun concept of standing sushi bar which is more casual yet maintain high standard for their sushi.
Food: Everything was delicious and the fish quality is top notch compare to most sushi restaurants you’ll find in Orlando. I had 8 nigiri and 2 hand rolls. There is a maximum of 12 pieces and each reservation is limited to 1 hour as it is a standing sushi bar concept. My favorite is the scallop + uni and also the sweet red prawn. One minor thing to note is if you can’t handle spicy I would let the chef know to be mindful of the amount of wasabi in each piece. I noticed that some pieces have more wasabi than others but very minor differences.
Service: There are 2 chefs and 2 servers. The servers take your drinks order and deal with refills and bills at the end of the meal. Most of the service comes from the chefs and they took very good care of us. My one minor critique is the timing of when each piece is made could be better. There were a few times I felt I was just waiting around while some time I feel like a few pieces come out very close to each other, but that’s very minor so overall they provide excellent service.
Value: My total pre tax was $60 and I was comfortably full with the 10 pieces I got. For the quality of the fish you I get would say it was definitely reasonable price. However if you don’t often seek high quality fish then maybe this place may be on the pricey side for you.
Ambience: A small restaurant, minimalistic style with a standing bar. The place is meant to be more on a casual side so I’d say it is appropriately decorated.
Crowd: We made reservation for 4pm and were the first to arrive by within 30 minutes the place was filled with 8 people (max capacity). I like the seat limit which ensure the chefs can give you appropriate time and attention.
Parking: Plenty of parking in the parking when we arrived at 4. Even when we were leaving around 5ish to head to Tori Tori there were still a few parking spot left. This is uncommon for any restaurant on Mills 50 to have decent parking spaces so this place get an extra...
Read moreMy experience at Edoboy last night was nothing short of extraordinary. We arrived early, anticipating parking challenges on Mills but were pleasantly surprised to find a dedicated parking lot. From the moment we approached the building, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and checked us in immediately. We waited in line while the group in front of us finished up.
Once inside, we made our way around the standing sushi bar and were informed of the daily specials. Any drinks we ordered promptly arrived; the jasmine pilsner was light and refreshing, perfect for the occasion. The staff's knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot-on; you could tell everyone who worked there genuinely enjoyed the food, which is always a great sign. The chef was personable and made the whole experience more enjoyable with how informative he was with each beautiful creation he laid in front of us. He went above and beyond to explain the origin of each fish, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the meal.
The highlight of my visit was the food. The sushi itself was impeccably crafted. Each piece was a work of art, boasting fresh, high-quality fish that tasted as good as it looked. The chef's attention to detail was evident in every bite – from the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Out of my selections on the menu, the ones that stood out most to me were the Madai, with a refreshing lemon zest, the Aburi Aka Ebi, which was truly delectable with a smooth buttery mouthfeel, and the blue crab handroll, which is something I’ll be thinking about for days.
I chose not to order miso soup, thinking I was too full, but I did try a bit of someone else's–I’m still regretting this decision as the soup, made from the bones of the day's fresh fish, was outstanding and the best miso soup they've ever tasted.
Our whole group left the restaurant not only satiated but also educated about the origin of everything we ate. It’s clear that Edoboy prides itself on maintaining high standards for every aspect of the meals provided, and I am already looking forward to...
