Fun as hell with a decent beer list. But if you are looking for a big beer list and a quiet night, DONT come here. Otherwise this is a fun spot without a doubt!

Visited this sushi place with mgumby10 and boboski. Good thing too, I don’t know the first thing about ordering up sushi. So I left all the decisions to them including the choice of the sake. Boboski picked out a very tasty offering. Their sake selection is very nice. The sushi is awesome.

Visited this place once with Boboski. It was a treat. Very cool environment as you can watch the chefs prepare your food in front of you. The sushi was incredible, alot of different choices to choose from and they were all fabulous. Gotta give it up to boboski for springing for a very nice and rare saki that we enjoyed the whole night. It was delicious as was the food. I dont eat sushi often, but this is the place I’d like to go every time.

I’m glad Brian(fluids) told me about this place, I can’t stop visiting now. Cool, it’s only 5 minutes from my house. Service is usually very good, but as with any restaurant in a tourist area, there is the occasional yahoo who just had a bad experience with his/her last table, translating into rushed or inadequate tableside manner. The menu is smaller than average, but the choices are unique, always fresh and incredibly well prepared. The sushi here is the best I’ve had on the east coast. There is no beer selection worth pondering over, but Rangetsu has sake I haven’t found anywhere else outside of Japan, definitely not registered in the U.S. for sale. You just have to ask nice. Reservations are not necessary, the place is huge and while usually packed, I’ve never had problems getting a table in a timely fashion. Since it’s on I - Drive, you can wear whatever you want, there’s always one idiot tourist in there with a bathing suit on. A definite must stop for any Japanese food or sake lover.

Without question one of the best Sushi restaurants in the country. (Checkout the Zagat rating.) However that being said, they have only a few bottles of beer and that’s it (Sapporo is one of them.) So, why is this place in Ratebeer? If you are into SAKE and you are in Orlando then here’s a great place to go. They do have a great Sake collection with Sake’s price all the way from $10-$300. (From a great deal of the different styles too.) One Sake that was great was Kaiun by Doi. It’s a Junmai Ginjo style. It came wrapped in Corn husk wrapper. Desserts include a tempura Cheese cake with a side scoop of incredible vanilla bean ice cream. If someone in your party has a birthday let the staff know about it. For dessert they will come out and sing happy birthday to you. One of the managers one time did magic tricks for me and my guest. They feed the fish outside the restaurant in the Japanese Garden once a night and invite parents to bring their children out to feed the fish. Coy fish swarm in a ball as they ring a bell to anticipating the fish food about to be sprinkled from white paper cones by the feeders. They go out of the way to make your dining experience pleasing to see, taste and feel.
