Orlando is the home to many great sushi restaurants and we are lucky to have some wonderful sushi within a few miles of our home. We regularly enjoy Sushi Pop (Oviedo), Yuki Hana (Oviedo/Winter Park), Seito Sushi Baldwin Park and Nagoya Sushi ( Winter Springs). Nagoya Sushi Winter Springs is located in the Publix shopping center at the corner of Red Bug Lake Rd and Tuskawilla Rd. As you are looking at the Publix, it’s a few doors to the left, towards the corner of the shopping center.
Hubby is somewhat new to sushi and he likes lots of saucy flavors, but not a ton of different fish contained in the same roll. So, I generally navigate (dine prior with friends to scope out) then order for Hubby and I when we head out for sushi at a new place. Our very first time at Nagoya, I went in cold. Armed with a Scott Joseph Dining Deal and my trusty Yelp.com app, we sat down at a cozy booth and perused the expansive sushi and roll menus. Quick Yelp.com note: This is when Yelp “tips” and “check in” comments are so very helpful. I was able to scroll through tips that helpful reviewers had named their favorite rolls. We ordered several of those rolls (based on our personal taste preferences) and were very happy with everything we tasted. We still order some of those recommended Yelp rolls to this day as evidenced by the picture above- the Spicy tuna hand rolls, the Volcano and Fish out of Water rolls. If you are checking out a place on Yelp, be sure to look for the tips for some fun and helpful input. If you are a reviewer on Yelp.com, please remember to include those menu highlights as people really to read them and thanks, as we have benefited quite a bit over the years!
Last night we popped into Nagoya for a sushi feast as a treat to mark my husbands last Saturday of the summer, before he headed back to teaching. We love the zippy heat in the spicy tuna hand roll, the flavorful Volcano roll with crunchy tempura flakes and we discovered a new favorite in the Grilled Lobster roll. The larger roll had tender cooked lobster chunks, avocado, cucumber, caviar, cream cheese and several sauces. (Pictured at bottom of platter). We enjoyed a super chilled glass of chardonnay, but have opted for beer and sake and been very happy as the menu offers a nice selection. If you prefer cooked entrees or fancier rolls, Nagoya has many options. If you like the crazy huge boat of sashimi, it’s here. The freshness, quality of the fish and the attention to detail and preparation is fantastic at Nagoya. Service is always attentive and friendly, sign up for their email list for Happy Hour specials and events.
