Rios Bistro Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Orlando

I was really excited to visit this restaurant, because I had really good reviews from friends. they told me this restaurant had everything, like a lot of different types of food, but just to let you know, don’t go by the menu pictures you’ll see on the reviews, because their menu now it’s only sushi/Japanese food Brazilian style and of course the “all you can eat”.

I’ve been in too many Japanese restaurants in Brazil and in the United States, that had the same style of food and this one is the worse one. There is a few Japanese Brazilian style restaurants in Orlando that are way better than this one.

Everything tastes bad! If you know about sushi, you just know that something is not right in terms of taste. The fish has a terrible quality, and all the types they have. When you go to a Japanese restaurant, they should at least serve you fresh fish, but this one is definitely frozen fish because it tastes like nothing, there is no flavor at all.

Even the shimeji was tasting weird, the miso soup was cold, the ceviche was barely seasoned… The waitress even said to us that the sushi chef prepares everything two hours before they open, so clearly if you’re going to do the “all you can eat”, just know that nothing is fresh.

So if you’re looking for a good Japanese restaurant Brazilian style in Orlando, this is definitely a no. But if you are looking to spend your money (Because this one is expensive) for something that’s not worth it just because the space looks nice then go for it.

Only doing one star review because it’s not possible to...

I have never walked out of a restaurant before! I don’t even know where to start this place was so bad. I ordered the vegan burger that the menu says comes on a baguette (asked for no mushrooms) with fries - and my son ordered sushi. My burger comes out and it was the smallest burger I have ever seen (maybe 5 bites), on a soggy bun from Publix (not the baguette) and completely PLAIN (NO lettuce, tomato, sauce, or garnish of any kind). My waiter never returned, so I flagged down another waitress and asked for some lettuce, onion, tomato, sauce or whatever they had, to put on the PLAIN burger. Meanwhile only 1 other table of ‘customers’ in the place (a loud group whom we were seated right next to) gets up and the guy who's been yuckin it up at the party table now goes to the sushi bar and STARTS making my son’s sushi AFTER my food has been served. My food is already stone cold waiting for the garnish … and the sushi chef is just now starting my son’s sushi. My burger looked and tasted like a School Lunch. Still no garnish and still NO SUSHI. The fries were clearly just a frozen, pressed potato product from Cisco – not real potatoes at all. Like the Ore Ida stuff I used to make my kids. After being there close to a half hour – with still no sushi and an inedible vegan burger we got up and left. Honestly, the worst dining experience I...

I came here because of the amazing photos that I saw on their website. It’s a new place, everything is clean, organized and beautiful. This is will be a review for a $$$ restaurant. Sakerita, it’s a Brazilian drink, but instead of the cachaça it is sake. They put frozen strawberry, it’s a nice idea, if wasn’t for the extra ice on it. So at the end, was very sweet and only ice. Coxinha, delicious. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Tartare was good, but it was missing bread. It’s a small portion of meat, but the bread to eat together it’s even smaller. So at the end, you have meat, and nothing to enjoy together. Complementary bread, hot and crispy, delicious! Gorgonzola and steak. It’s a nice idea, but was very liquid, not creamy. Add a little salt and taste gets better. We order a risotto with mignon. And after 30 minutes, with only 3 tables, we asked the server and she said that some problem happened and it wasn’t ready. We cancelled the order.

Clients: it’s a nice place, with nice food ideas. It doesn’t have a cocktail list yet.

Owner: servers need to be more prepared. Tartare just add more bread, people will enjoy. Make a better cocktail or make the option to people choose, frozen or...
