Bar Kada

"While Soseki is known for its intimate stature and serious tasting menu, Bar Kada is its perfect complement. Located in the same building, this space has triple the seats along with a more casual concept (note the disco ball for further proof). Expect the same commitment to quality and the strong creative streak seen at Soseki, only here it's dressed down to fit the laidback vibe. The Japanese dishes with global influences have plenty of personality and deliver on bold flavors, as in the kinilaw-style, spicy-sweet sashimi or roasted maitake mushrooms in a ponzu beurre blanc. Cocktail and wine offerings are deep, but the sake selection is a real standout, and the knowledgeable bartenders make a seat at the bar especially interesting." - Michelin Inspector

The 13 Best New Restaurants in Orlando Right Now

"Michael Collantes’ 30-seat sake lounge may sit next to his restaurant Soseki, but it offers a decidedly less formal experience than his high-end omakase house. Small plates fashioned by Mike Vang are several notches above traditional bar fare, with such dishes as tuna au poivre, tamago salad, tilefish and chips, and corn-pea dumplings setting the stage for the stellar sake selection by Benjamin Coutts." - Faiyaz Kara

Sake, ambience, food, service; this place has it all! Bar Kada is a nice edition to Soseki and is a must visit if you are a oyster fan. Local oysters and some from over seas await you. The house ponzu sauce is delicious and adds just enough acidity. Food selection is diverse and very tasty. That being said leave room dessert! That mochi dessert hit harder than I thought it would and I almost ordered seconds even after slamming A5 wagyu from Japan and like 20 oysters! Staff was on top of things and always making sure we had everything we need. Props to them! Sake selection was also very good. I did see Devine droplets there which is one of my favorites but unfortunately was not available at the time due to a tasting. I highly recommend Bar Kada for get togethers with friends, family, or even a nice date night out. We WILL return!

We came here one night on a whim. We had been to Soseki a while ago, loved it, and wanted to try this spin-off. It's on the Michelin Guide, so our expectations were elevated. And it did not disappoint! Ambiance was very nice. A cozy, tucked away little room that felt like a Japanese speakeasy. Tables, high tops, and bar seating. Luckily, we got seated at the bar, so we could see a lot of food and drink prep. Very cool stuff. It made our service more prompt, as well. Our server was one of the main bartenders, so she had a perfect working knowledge of all the drinks she poured us. Very nice. As for the food, it was all absolutely banging. We started off with the Caviar Donut (crème fraiche, onion jam, caviar). This is a one-biter, so you have to order one per person. This little guy is a donut hole-sized thing with an explosion of crème fraiche inside. The salty pops from the caviar set it off perfectly and will have the table looking at each other all wide eyes in pleasant surprise. Next came the Chili Garlic Noodles (local rock shrimp, chili soy, bok choy). This was the dish of the night for me. Amazing noodles coated in a chili soy sauce that has a lingering heat that's not too intense. It's quite lovely. Accompanied by perfectly cooked rock shrimp, which are just slightly sweet, so this is a perfect dish. I want it again. I also had some amazingly crispy wings with a togarashi lemon slice, and a creamy mushroom dish that was heavenly. I can't find them on the menu right now, but that's ok, I like a rotating menu. Keeps things fresh. We finished off the mean with Mochi Cake (chocolate cremeaux, black garlic miso crumble). Soft, ooey gooey mochi cake was so good, and an insane texture. The warm cake paired with the cold, chocolate ice cream with the interesting umami of the black garlic, just so lovely. Perfect way to end the meal. Overall, this stuff was definitely Soseki quality. I want to come back soon. Come here.

Sake, Ya! Hosted by Offline should be a Permanent Feature! I recently enjoyed a private dining experience offered to Offline members. Neither an ignorant nor ardent fan of sake, I embraced the opportunity to learn. I'm glad I did. As you step through the threshold of Bar Kada, notice the threshold. The stark black exterior with minimal inscription does conjure speakeasy vibes. My date and I were grateful for a passerby, who, noting our dress, said, "Are you looking for Soseki?" We replied, "Bar Kada." She pointed to the all-black door. I grasped the handle, ushered my date inside, and was transformed. The transformation was subtle. First, you note the quiet. Not the respectful quiet of a reserved space, but the silence of anticipation. The hostess was polite, and while we waited, I noted the decor. Where was the flair? Accustomed to either car parts or framed chef magazine covers on the wall, Bar Kada has neither. Their minimal aesthetic is artfully crafted and focused. Vessels for serving and preparing sake predominantly adorn the space. There are no clocks or windows. The "little cousin" Bar Kada to the grand dame Soseki is a phantom appendage. You can feel the hum next door. But this carefully curated space is all its own. Next, we meet Emika. She is the perfect blend of passion and decorum, tradition and jest, knowledge, and fun. She explains she is half-Japanese, half-Swedish Norwegian, and that she has been to Japan many times. Her breadth of knowledge spans all facets of sake making, from types of establishments to methodologies in preparation... from bar etiquette to a lesson in industrial history, she knows it all. Thinking I may learn a twin phrase to the simplistic "kampai" toast, these trite expectations never sprang. Instead, we were taken on a journey spanning 1,000 years of Japanese culture. Each sake was better than the last. The first felt like a beer one would enjoy after work. We quickly learned that sake is the Japanese word for liquor and therefore covers the gamut of alcohol. They got fancier and fancier. One felt like a glass of wine from a small village in France, while another had the texture and consistency of fine vodka. Everything will taste different based on your mood and what your palate is accustomed to. I don't know how it works—Emika tells it better. Just know the sake was good, and I was buzzed. The bar pairings were inspired, and the close working relationship between Emika and the chef was evident. The oyster preparation with cilantro and mint was as palate-pleasing as it was beautiful. Our dinner companion remarked, "I could eat 12 to 14 of these." I agreed with her. For me, the culinary star was the buckwheat noodle. Umami! Simple and rustic, it perfectly accompanied the selected varietals. We ended our evening with a gift bag from Bar Kada and a promise to return from us. This should be a regular event! Or a menu tasting experience where you order The Emika and get the 3 sake with their food pairings.

Maxi with Offline - My husband and I had an incredible experience at Bar Kada! The food was outstanding, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and well-versed in the dishes and sake we enjoyed. The restaurant has a charming yet sophisticated ambiance. We’ll definitely be returning! We indulged in caviar donuts, oysters, chicken wings, and chili rock shrimp noodles—each dish was delicious!

For anyone who wants to experience authentic Sake this is the place. Fantastic small/intimate venue with fantastic service. Every employee was so genuinely kind and attentive. In looking at the different menus online, we noticed they change it up. This is a good thing of course but tonight we happened to get a menu with only 3 hot dishes and my partner did not like mushrooms so that left us one chicken and one shrimp hot dish. Now I love raw fish and was able to order a 5 set Sashimi but my partner would have liked another choice or two of hot dishes. I would recommend Bar Kada for most people since they are probably going for the fantastic Sake and fantastic cold fish dishes but just be aware that the hot dish options might be very limited.

Came here with a friend after hearing so many great things and it truly lived up to the hype! The pre-fix menu made ordering simple (a lifesaver for someone like me who takes forever to decide!). I highly recommend the Black and Blue 🍹 it was incredible. Huge shoutout to our server Danny, who was amazing and made the whole experience even better with his great presentation. This was just a casual dinner, but the atmosphere was so nice and elevated. Definitely worth checking out!

My husband & I came here on a Saturday night with reservations and LOVED it! We were sat at the bar, and the main person helping us was Daniel, although we interacted with a few others as well. Daniel was such a delight & really knows his stuff! So fun to listen to with explaining the foods & sake pairings. We ordered off the bite30 menu and the regular menu and truly everything was phenomenal! We got the Sashimi, Dumplings, Mushrooms, Cheshire Pork Money Bags, Vietnamese Wings, and ended with the sorbet. Would recommend all of these dishes, but our favorite were the dumplings! We definitely recommend this spot and can’t wait to come back.

My boyfriend specifically booked this restaurant for our anniversary because I don't drink and they offer a non-alcoholic version of their drink flights. We both got the $85 5-course tasting menu and every dish was phenomenal! He got the sake flight while I had mocktails/non-alcoholic drinks. I usually feel left out when there are drink pairings with the food, but the staff at Bar Kada made sure I was included! My mocktails were so thoughtfully created and DELICIOUS! My boyfriend liked my drinks more than his sake! It was priced the same as the sake flight ($75) which I thought was pretty steep considering it's non-alcoholic, but I'd probably do it again. We were concerned about not being full since the portions were small and it being only 5 dishes, but the drinks package definitely helped get us there. Our server explained each dish and drink with so much detail and really told a whole story behind our meal. It gave us an even deeper appreciation for the food. If you're looking for an EXPERIENCE instead of just dining, this is the perfect place! Our server told us that the menu changes because they source their produce from local farms and whatever they give them, the chefs have to find way to incorporate them into the menu! Everything is super fresh and the flavor combinations and textures are expertly crafted. My personal favorites from this experiences were the caviar donut, fresh tomatoes on burrata with bread, and creamy rock shrimp pasta!

Sometimes, I don't like fancy places because they are too highbrow for me. I want to say I absolutely adore this place. It felt extraordinary, unique, and cozy. Chef Mike stopped by our table a couple of times to talk to us and ask about our food. Our server, Emika, was super gracious and explained everything we ordered in great detail. Daniel, working behind the bar, was lively and mixed phenomenal drinks. I tried the crispy chicken wings, mushrooms, wagyu beef tartare, and eggplant dishes. Each dish's flavors were unique and specific, and everything had a very high flavor profile with a perfect, thoughtful balance. As I said earlier, I don't tend to like super fancy food. I like things that are down-to-earth and super delicious, and this place really takes that concept to heart. The savory smoked olive sake cocktail was a great start to my meal, and I would definitely get the chicken wings again. The crunch was perfect, and the wings stayed crunchy throughout my entire meal. The mushrooms were phenomenal, with a delicious roasted flavor, and cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed the cozy ambience of this place and loved their wall of sake as a display, but also for storage. Felt like I was hidden away from the real world in here and just able to focus on a truly delicious meal with lavish service. Highly recommend Bar Kada for an evelated culinary and drink experience!

An exceptional- and accessible- Japanese tapas-style meal. I brought my 9 year old burgeoning foodie to Bar Kada. We were dressed very casually and were cautious if we'd be seated. We were pleasantly surprised when we were greeted as if we were old friends. The bartender made my son an exceptional mocktail to match my cocktails. Every single dish was delicious- but the sashimi and korean wings were standouts. At the end of our dinner, it started pouring; the staff walked us to my vehicle holding umbrellas over our head. The service is bar none the best I've experienced in the Orlando area.

Bar Kada- An amazing place for sake lovers Also one of the best beef tartare I've ever had (Wagyu of course) Other fantastic dishes we had: corn dumplings, tuna, and the mushrooms If you'd like to learn more about sake and the origins, please sit at the bar with Daniel. We had an amazing time with him and his energy definitely made the experience and food a great time

Can't get enough of Bar Kada. The food is amazing and now they even have amazing sake based cocktails. Service is always on point, very friendly servers and Ben is a super knowledgeable sommelier. They have one of the largest selections for sake that I've seen in town and Ben really helps you decide what will be your next favorite sake. It's a small, classy, and dim lit space that's perfect for intimate date night. I highly recommend! I went back so many times already and they haven't disappointed yet. Just be prepared to spend a decent amount since you will want to try several dishes and different sake/drinks, but totally worth it!

Bar Kada - we were invited to their grand opening, and ribbon cutting (too early to get there). I had been there before and it was exceptional. I posted a review previously. We had all the A listers there - Chef Mike, his wife / co-owner, Jill and sommelier extraordinaire, Ben. It was one of the places my husband wanted to try for his birthday (month) and he loved it as much as I did. They even wrote him a lovely birthday card from the entire staff. If you haven't been there, it's a romantic, dim lit chic environment - elevated casual. It has exceptional high end service just like Soseki next door, but for a fraction of the price. This month they have their happy hour on a few bites, sake flights (one listed but they will do another for you), beers and wine. And, Bite 30!! It takes a little strategizing but you can really max out eating most the entire menu. We saved $100 with Bite 30 and HH. We opted for all of the above after we had our fabulous complimentary grand opening champagne - the real stuff, not just bubbly wine lol. We had 2 Bite 30 meals and some additional apps to cover the entire menu - some HH, some not. They have a secret waygu upgrade for one of the apps - do that for the love of God!!! Wow. Here's what we had: Apps: Vietnamese wings - dang, these are good. They are competing heavily with my fave, Domu, for top spot. They are so flavorful without being too heavy. Sashimi - we got 2 orders of this because there was NO way I was sharing. This is my favorite dish on their menu. So incredibly fresh and I absolutely love the light marinade / sauce. Wagyu Tartare - I was so glad they did an upgrade for this because is a pricier dish that I didn't want to take a chance on as I've had unfavorable tartar in the past. It comes with toast which I liked a lot but my husband just dug in, no bread needed. It was so tender and flavorful. We would absolutely get this again. What they consider entrees: Mushrooms - I love these and took half home (yum) because my husband isn't a fan of mushrooms. They are savory with explosive flavor. I am going to chop them up with my eggs tomorrow. Mussels - these were AMAZING. The sauce was so good and the baby bread crumbs. Yum. Dumplings - these were much better than the first time I had them. I think something was missing in the toppings previously. This time, I completely understand why these are wildly popular. Really delicious. And, it feels like you are eating slightly healthier with all the veggie goodness. Desserts: There are small but tasty delights. The ice cream was recommended and it was nice but we loved the coconut pudding. And, funny thing, we are not coconut fans. It had several flavors all built into this small dish. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 hungry folks, and I'd repeat this all again for sure!!! We had the opportunity to get to know Jill and Chef Mike better which was great. And, Jill took a wonderful selfie of us! They even have a restaurant in NYC! And, they are taking over more space in their building to add a chic and unique pizza place. We also love their other establishment, Sushi Saint.

Came excited to check out Bar Kada, which is a 30-seat sake lounge with food from the team behind Soseki! I ordered the Tamago Sarada, Sashimi, Wagyu Tartare, Tuna Au Poivre, Dumpling, A5 Wagyu Spinelis, and Vietnamese Wings! The good: The ambiance, service, and food were amazing, and definitely lived up to the reputation stemmed from Soseki. My favorite dishes of the evening were the Tamago Sarada, Dumpling, and A5 Wagyu Spinelis. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections since all of the dishes were tasteful and beautifully presented. The Tamago Sarada was absolutely delicious, with the cold tamago flavor mixed with a potato-like texture. The Sashimi tasted absolutely fresh, and the sauce tasted absolutely amazing. The Wagyu Tartare has a strong sesame flavor to it, but goes really well with the sourdough bread. The Tuna Au Poivre is extremely tender, and it has bold flavors. The Dumpling was definitely one of the top favorites, where it was creamy and soft, and delicious. The A5 Wagyu Spinelis is not listed on the menu, but the server brought it up as tonight's special. It requires a 3-ounce minimum order, which costs $80. This literally melts in your mouth as soon as you try to take a bite! Last, but not least, the Vietnamese Wings were fried to perfection with a delicious crispy crunch in each bite, and the fish sauce and garlic is very potent in this flavor! The bad: Nothing at all in regards to the food! I did order the Bla and Lyserod Sparkling Teas, but personally, I just was not a fan of either of the Sparkling Tea flavors.

WOW. First things first, Daniel at the bar made our dinner so want to give him a shoutout. His knowledge and passion for the art of cocktails and drinks was incredible! It was so fun to listen to the history of some of the sakes while we ordered. We tried I'd say half the menu and there was not one thing I didn't like but the standouts are pictured below. The dumplings were so unique and I haven't tried corn dumplings like this before! They were excellent. As soon as we finished the wagyu tartar we almost ordered a second it was that good. I would come back just to eat this and talk to Daniel. The space is intimate but big enough and is a nice option to have next to soseki. I think what chef has done is great and we will definitely be back!

Love the small bites, cocktails, and ambiance here! A much more casual sake bar attached to Soseki, this place still offers the quality you'd expect to find at the neighboring omakase. My favorites here include the miatake mushrooms, wings, beef tartare, and (seasonal) corn dumplings, although I love returning to try their newer additions. The bar staff is fun and helpful, and I love their unique and playful dishware!

Exciting new gem to hit the Orlando food scene! Went to the soft opening to get a first look and experience the delicious menu items at Bar Kada. We were able to try most of the items on the menu and let me say all were super delicious and delightful especially the sashimi, Vietnamese wings, wagyu beef and mushrooms, so good we had to order another round of the wagyu and mushrooms (the sauce is to die for). Our server was Renee and she was immaculate and so knowledgeable of all the items especially when it came down to picking the right sake to pair with the dishes. Parking is in the same area as Soseki which is towards the rear of the building and so is the main entrance. The vibe of Bar Kada was perfect for the experience with beautiful decor and light music playing in the background. Bar Kada is a great addition to the Winter Park/ Orlando food scene.

Even though I just had a wonderful dinner at a Japanese bar last week, I thought about visiting this bar for Bite 30. I am extremely happy that I did. I made a reservation on a Saturday for 8pm. I arrived a bit early and was immediately greeted by a hostess at the entrance. She did tell me that the table wasn't ready yet and may take some time. I wasn't in a rush, so I sat in a chair in the entrance area while they handed me the menu in advance. The lobby area had lounge music, which I enjoyed and relaxed. Since I waited a bit longer than expected, they provided me a complimentary champagne to enjoy. It was high quality as it was smooth and bubbly. Around 8:20, I was seated at the bar area which I requested. The bartender greeted me quickly and handed me the sake menu. He allowed me to sample the amabuki sake (13 dollars), which had a fruity taste, strong, and was not too dry. I really enjoyed it so I ordered that as my drink. I went with the Bite 30 menu (35 dollars for 3 courses). I did the sashimi appetizer, which was amberjack fish. When it came, it was dressed table side with leche de tigre. The amberjack was melt in your mouth fresh, and flavors from the sauce were amazing with the citrus and milk notes. The daikon and chili added even more flavor. Sadly they ran out of mussels for the entree, and the only other options were vegetarian. On the regular menu, I was surprised that the dumplings were priced higher than the mussels. When it came, I can understand why. The flavors added so well from the corn, peas, and scallions inside the dumpling, and the green sauce was such a great accomplishment. There were four dumplings total, which was enough to enjoy. For dessert, I chose the recommended coconut pudding, which had the perfect flavor with fresh mango and lychees. The white chocolate ganache had the perfect sweetness. Just like the other dishes, the flavors matched so well. All the dishes I had really challenged my taste buds with the complexity of flavors in an amazing way. The food is definitely Michelin star or AAA 4 diamond quality . The service matched the great food. There was great pride and enthusiasm in presenting the food. The ingredients for each dish were explained. The servers were very helpful in suggesting each dish, and answered any question that was asked. The atmosphere was a bit upscale, so I am glad I wore a collar shirt instead of just a t-shirt. The music is upscale lounge music that you find in higher end hotels. Parking was available and free in the back. Being from the same building and owners of Soseki, I should have known to expect high quality and upscale cuisine. This was not only the best Japanese bar restaurant I have been to, but even one the best overall bar restaurants as well. While the portions were small, the flavors were huge. This is the Four Seasons of Ritz Carlton quality of Japanese bars, and the Bite 30 promotion makes this an excellent deal!

Had an incredible dinner at Bar Kada, can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. Offering up sake and small plates inside of Soseki, Bar Kada is a trendy new addition to the Orlando food scene. We tried several of their small plate offerings, all of which were exceptional. The dumplings and the mussels were standouts. I'm not a sake expert by any means, but they had a nice selection and the Akishika sake I had was great. The service was helpful and perfectly timed, brining us our next dishes just as we were wrapping up the previous. Highly recommend checking out bar kada!

Absolutely loved it here. Every single dish is so unique and delicious. From the Maitake Mushrooms to the Wagyu Tartare to the Sashimi, everything is phenomenal. Service was excellent, our server took the time to explain each dish and each Sake. She was amazing, very detailed about everything on the menu. She was great and so helpful, so knowledgeable. She made our anniversary extra special. I can't wait to be back and try the rest of their menu.

This place was amazing! It's rare that I feel completely blown away by meals these days with all of the good food Orlando has to offer but everything about our experience we loved! We tried the tamago sarada, sashimi, olives, tuna at poivre, mussels, dumplings and Vietnamese wings! It's hard to pick a favorite but I would say the standouts were the dumplings and wings. We loved all of the food. Service was pretty good and the ambiance was lovely. Will definitely be back.

Bar kada has been at the forefront of my list of restaurants to try in Winterpark since it opened. I had enormous hopes for this restaurant walking in, most were exceeded some fell short. The ambiance was wonderful, offering a calm, intimate, and beautiful environment to enjoy a wonderful meal. The food was incredible, each bite more flavorful than the last, the sashimi was my favorite offering a creative, light, and wonderful balance of flavors working symbiotically in perfect harmony. The corn dumplings were fantastic, offering a blend of crunchy, soft, chewy, and creamy texture. My largest reservation with this restaurant is the service. While all the staff were kind and knowledgeable is seemed that they were overwhelmed with just one server on the floor. Our waitress while very kind knowledgeable and trying to be attentive was overwhelmed as she had to attend to the entire dining area. This resulted in lower standard of service as she was so overwhelmed, which is not her fault. I believe management needs to hire another waiter to address this issue. I am sure it will be worked out over time as they just opened (hence the 5 star review instead of 4), so long as they address this weak point soon I believe this will be one of the best restaurants in winter park with ease. Ultimately, food was incredible, ambiance wonderful, but service needs some work. Nonetheless, this experience has solidified bar kada in my mind as one of the best restaurants in Orlando that I have had the fortune of experiencing.

Took the wifey here for her belated Bday Dinner during their soft opening last week and it was amazing. When we arrived we were greeted by the very nice hostess who gave us a little info about the restaurant and quickly took us to our table. The dining room is small (think it says 30 seats) so I do suggest getting a reservation. We were greeted by our waitress (I think her name was Cora) who brought us delicious homemade fried garbanzo beans and cold oshibori towels. If you have a chance to request her do it she was amazing, very knowledgeable and informative about all the sake and the menu and super attentive. We started with sake and were able to sample a few different types to see which ones we would like (we got 2 different kinds that were very good). The menu isn't that big so we picked a few things to share and try out: Sashimi, Wagyu Tartar, Dumpling, Mushroom, the Vietnamese Wings. Each dish came out paced out so you got to enjoy them and when they came the server explained how the dish was prepared and suggested how to enjoy them. Every dish was delicious, full of flavor, beautifully presented, and amazing. The dumplings were probably our favorite dish, the wings had a different unique flavor and nice and crunchy, the tartare had so much flavor, the sashimi was yummy wish there was more slices, and mushrooms had a yummy sauce and were nice a meaty. I definitely recommend ordering all of them they are totally worth trying. We will most definitely be back we enjoyed it so much. The only thing I do recommend is that don't come there starving unless you plan on ordering a bunch of dishes (they're small plates) but then again the food and drinks are totally worth it,

I went here for the first time and tried the Bite 30 menu. We were so impressed! There are so many things I could comment on - 1. The staff was so informative and friendly 2. The sourcing of food from local farms was really appreciated 3. The Sashimi (kanpachi w/ leche de tigre), veggie dumplings, and coconut pudding were absolutely outstanding. I wanted to eat more of it but I was stuffed. I think I will go again before Bite 30 is over, and then over and over after that. Thank you, Bar Kada!

Everything on this menu was amazing! My wife and I tried each item and none of them disappointed (dumplings were out of this world amazing!!). Everything tasted incredibly fresh. Their produce is sourced from local farms . Service was great as well, our server was able to tell us where our food was sourced from and had many interesting back stories on the sake and other menu items. The atmosphere was so peaceful and unique. Amazing sake selection. This location is great for a quick stop for a drink or snack if you're in winter park. Also great romantic setting for a date night.

Gorgeous and delicious from start to finish. Cozy warm atmosphere with the most welcoming staff. Had the sake flight and now I finally get it! Our amazing server took so much time with us, explaining where it came from and how it was made. Each one was better than the one before. We will definitely return as soon as we can!

Everything about Bar Kada was amazing, we were worried we would miss our reservation after being 10 minutes late but we were sat dow immediately. Daniel was our bartender and he was so fun and very knowledgeable! The space was very beautiful and the music was nice as well. My favorite was the dumplings and the egg salad with chips ( I forgot what the name is)! I can't wait to go again and try more off the menu!

My idea of sake used to be something warm in a porcelain decanter that you sipped at a sushi or teppanyaki restaurant. I really appreciated the sake flight and the education that accompanied it - it opened my eyes to a whole new world of sake that I had been missing. The small plates were outstanding and the staff were warm, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. This place is a gem. There should be lines out the door.

Everything single item on the menu was amazing. Been here couple times already since they opened and they don't miss. The dumplings are the best dumplings I ever had and I never knew sake could be so good. Quite the experience. Love this place.

This was a phenomenal experience. I felt welcomed as soon as I was greeted by the hostess. She had a vibrant personality and made us feel at home. All of the items were exemplary, especially the Korean wings and the ribeye. I could eat fifteen of those Korean Wings in one sitting! Everything came out on a consistent basis. The place was clean and decorated well. Everyone stopping in Orlando should come here!
