With world-famous resorts like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Legoland located in its midst, Orlando, Florida is best known as the land of theme parks. However, it’s got a lot more to offer than just a day of coasters and carousels. For one, it’s near Florida’s iconic beaches along the east coast, with the nearest beach being less than an hour’s drive away. There are also a number of beautiful parks and rivers across the city, if you want a break from all the excitement. For tourists, the city offers treehouse hotels and vacation apartments that provide amazing stays. Food-wise, Orlando doesn’t disappoint as well. The city has a wide range of cuisines for you to choose from, but the sushi offerings in particular stand out. Who knew Orlando had such good sushi? Here are the top sushi restaurants in Orlando, Florida.
1. Seito Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Seito Sushi is widely hailed as one of the best sushi places in Orlando - this is no small feat, considering the number of sushi restaurants that have appeared across the city. They offer a range of unique sushi rolls, such as the Sweetheart Roll (stuffed with coconut shrimp, cream cheese crab salad and glazed with apricot and eel sauce). Definitely try the Distinguished Gentleman Roll that’s filled with lobster, topped with wagyu beef and garnished with truffle aioli oil, because any sushi with wagyu beef on it is bound to be good. For those who aren’t too keen on sushi, the restaurant also serves a mean bowl of Japanese ramen and black pepper beef.

Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account
No, the name of this establishment isn’t a typo. In a world of cronuts, lasagna pizzas and capookies, the burgushi, a burger-sushi medley that first appeared in North Carolina, doesn’t seem all that strange - and it isn’t. The Cowfish, the proud pioneer of the burgushi, boasts an extensive menu made with fresh, chemical-free ingredients. There’s even a bento box (with a mini-burger and four pieces of roll) for traditionalists who prefer their burgers and sushi separate. The restaurant offers a fun dining experience as well, being decked out with eclectic pop art pieces, cowfish decor, and lively servers. Who said you can’t have your burgushi and eat it?
