Hinabe

This restaurant has amazing food!! The quality of everything we ate was exceptional, and tasted so delicious. Highly recommend the Wagyu Sandwich, the Lumpia, and the Dumplings. Thank you to Shirley for taking such good care of us. She was so warm, and helpful. My husband and I were celebrating our 1 year anniversary, and she made our night even more delightful!

We had an incredible dining experience at Nabe last night. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. We tried several dishes, including the Seafood Crudo, Wagyu Lumpia, Wagyu Dumplings, Wagyu Sando, Wagyu Rice Box, and the Gold Set Hot Pot. Every single item was packed with flavor and incredibly fresh. The quality of the wagyu stood out in every dish, and the hot pot was a showstopper both in presentation and taste. The ambience was a perfect balance between upscale and inviting, and the service was just as impressive, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. After dinner, we walked next door to their sister ice cream shop, Nola’s, which was the perfect sweet ending to the night. The shop has a stunning interior, with unique and creative flavors that you won’t find anywhere else. The staff there was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. This was easily a 10/10 experience across the board. Nabe (and Nola’s) are must visits if you’re in the area. Highly recommended and can’t wait to come back!

Great dining experience at Hinabe! We had the Wagyu dumplings with dark garlic soy (this sauce is yum) Wagyu sandwiches, king crab roll and the seafood bibimbap. For drinks I had the old fashioned and my wife had the yuzu margarita. We also shared the espresso martini with coconut cream and wish we had got one each. The food, service and ambiance was amazing. The wagyu inspired dishes are delicious especially the Wagyu sandwiches with their milk bread. Shirley our server was very attentive and Khao who is the owner of this wonderful restaurant came and checked in how everything was going which was nice. He also recommended some local restaurants which we will be trying on next but can’t wait to come back to Hinabe again.

My husband and I went here for date night on a whim and we were so happy with our experience!! Shirley was an amazing server as well as the Bartender Anthony, overall we had a great experience. Friendly service, delicious food and drinks and a gorgeous space 10/10

This place is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to—the food is packed with bold, fresh flavors, every dish is beautifully prepared, and the portions are generous without skimping on quality. The drinks are amazing as well. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between modern and cozy, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready with great recommendations. From start to finish, the experience feels thoughtful and welcoming, and it’s the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again.

Absolutely loved my experience here! The ambiance was inviting and stylish, perfect for a casual night out with family. The service was top notch from the moment we walked in. Everyone was warm and attentive, especially Anthony, who made sure our drinks were spot on! The food? Incredible. The Wagyu Ricebox and Wagyu Sandwich were easily my favorites, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I also tried the Pho Hot Pot for the first time and it was delicious! Such a comforting and flavorful experience. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great vibes, excellent service, and standout dishes.

Last night, we were very lucky to snag a soft opening reservation for Nabe, the new wagyu-focused hot pot restaurant in the Dellagio Plaza in Dr. Phillips, and it was as luxurious and delicious as we hoped! Nabe is located inside of Nola's Ice Cream (FANTASTIC post-dinner dessert, btw, delightful Vietnamese-inspired ice creams) through a hidden doorway. The space is beautifully decorated (and the lofi beats playing were absolutely my jam), and the staff members were warm and welcoming, explaiing the menu thoroughly and setting up the hot pot perfectly. Since they're in soft opening, they have a limited menu and no beer/wine/alcohol yet, but it was still very satisfying! We dined on the king crab roll topped with uni (opulence, they have it), seafood crudo, and silver wagyu hot pot set. The hot pot comes with a choice of three broths, and we chose the sukiyaki. I may lean to the kombu broth next time as we found the sukiyaki broth a bit too sweet, but that's our personal taste. The meats and vegetables were perfect! We really enjoyed our first time at Nabe (and Nola's!), and we can't wait to go back to enjoy their full menu! Congratulations to the entire Nabe and Nola's team!

The service was over the top. Very nice and efficient. The wagyu dumplings were perfect. Cook crisp on the outside and soft on the bottom. The lumpia was incredible. The sauce was paired perfect with the crispy lumpia. The rice box was great. The wagyu was cut thick, but not overly thick. The decor and atmosphere was so nice. My wife and I had cocktails. My wife had the lycheesl martini and I had the old fashion. Both were great and tasted amazing. I will be back and love this upscale asain food.

We came here for date night on a Saturday evening at 7pm. Parking was limited since this is a busy plaza but we were able to find street parking nearby. The restaurant has a speakeasy entrance through Nola's ice cream shop which makes it a pretty neat entry. The decor is very modern and clean; sadly there was only one other table occupied which really surprised us. We ordered the wagyu rice box and the wagyu silver set hot pot. The wagyu in the rice box was tender and fatty, definitely worth the money. The hot pot was also delicious but obviously the portions aren't your typical hot pot portions as it is Wagyu beef. It was still enough for us to feel plenty satiated after the meal. Our server was outstanding and we really enjoyed the experience. We just hope this place survives since we went on a peak night and it wasn't very busy. I presume it's due to the relatively steep price point but I would highly recommend checking out this place to celebrate a special occasion.

If you're a wagyu lover, Nabe in Orlando is the place to be. I came in craving the Wagyu Sando, and it completely blew me away -- buttery-soft wagyu, perfectly fried milk bread, and that rich, savory flavor that just melts in your mouth. Easily one of the best bites I've ever had! But the real surprise? The Wagyu Box. It's beautifully presented and packed with variety very tender wagyu slices, thoughtful sides, and every component seasoned and cooked to perfection. It felt like a luxe, elevated bento experience with serious attention to detail. I left already thinking about my next visit. These dishes aren't just delicious -- they're memorable. Highly recommend both if you want to treat yourself!

Been here twice already and im counting down the days until we get to go back. First of all, the concept is insanely cool. A hidden speakeasy dinning experience in an aesthetically pleasing Vietnamese ice cream shop?? Count me in! Second of all, the price is quite expensive buttt the quality is definitely there. And this is coming from the girl that just went to japan for a 12 hr layover and ran to try all the wagyus they had over there to compare! Youll want to bring a friend to try the wagyu sando.its definitely fatty but will give your taste buds an experience of a lifetime. Literally melts in your mouth. We also fell in love with the rice boxes! You really cant go wrong. Theres just so much richness and packed with all the flavors you could ever want. Im not quite a fan of Japanese style hot pot, buttt definitely give it a try if youre curious!

First of all, the speakeasy entrance is so cool ! Diners feel transported from an adorable ice cream shop to a very cool restaurant. There Is a gorgeous bar and lot of group seating where the tables themselves heat up for the hotpots. Now onto the food, there was not a single bite I did not LOVE! The food was incredible. The Wagyu in every dish just melts in your mouth. The Sando definitely being the highlight but the rice box with the egg yolk mixed in was incredible. The hot pot was a really fun experience and very well explained. We got a side of each sauce and did the miso broth which was so tasty. It was easy to cook and so yummy!! I can't wait to come try more!

What first impressed me was the entrance of this being located inside of an ice cream shop! I love speakeasy's and it was very unique. They specialize in Wagyu and we tried a lot of menu items. Everything was pretty good but I think just a tiny bit of salt would have went a long way. My whole group agreed. The most flavorful dish was the Wagyu rice box that didn't need anything else added. My friend who typically eats beef tar tar ordered it and said it didn't taste right and that night she threw up the food. The next morning she was having a horrible time. Me and my other friend didn't have these effects and we were the only ones who ate everything except the beef tar tar. Just keep that in mind. Overall a good vibe/ambiance and I'd come back here with my hubby as a date night. It was also nice to come here with friends too! The servers were very kind!

First timer at Nabe at Dr. Phillips Friendly service. Great staff. All the workers are amazing and the owner himself is such a funny guy. I had a great dining experience at Nabe Japanese restaurant. My favorite dishes were the lumpia and the wagyu sando--both packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. I also tried the seafood rice box, which was refreshing and filling, though the rice itself was a bit hard. The open space and diverse food choices really enhanced the experience. While the menu is small (just front and back), it offers enough variety to be satisfying. The wagyu beef was incredibly flavorful, making up for the tough rice in the box. Portion sizes were generous, and the pricing was reasonable, especially for a fine dining restaurant. Overall, I had a good experience and would definitely come back.

We visited Nabe for our anniversary, as at the price point, it is a special occasion place for us. However, the price is definitely matched to the quality, as these were top notch items. We opted for the sando, rice box, and the smallest portion for the hot pot. Everything was really good. My favorites were the hot pot and the sando. They were also kind enough to give us a scoop of the taro ice cream from Nola for our anniversary.

Amazing! This is a hidden hot pot place inside Nola's ice cream. Great ambiance inside with attention to detail. For example the chopstick holders were all different and the dishes and bowls were all pretty and unique. The food was delicious! Everything we ordered was great, but the wagyu sandwiches were definitely the star of the appetizers by far. We ordered two hot pot broths, the chicken one and the spicy Szechuan broth. The spicy Szechuan broth was by the best spicy hot pot broth I've had. Very flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. Excellent service and our server was very attentive who also brought out some samples of a different broth we didn't order. Will definitely be back!

This restaurant was a cool experience. The space is shared with a cute ice cream shop and there was a hidden entrance to get in. The decor was very unique, elegant, and modern. The service was really good. Our server was very helpful and friendly and knew the menu very well. He made great recommendations that didn't disappoint. I wish I remembered his name ( he had glasses). The wagu was excellent and melted in your mouth. I had the miso hot pot and I wasn't really thrilled with that but the wagu, and appetizers were good.

One of the best shabu shabu experiences in Orlando! We got the sukiyaki broth which was flavorful and came with seasonal veggies. The sauces were also really good!! Don't sleep on the wagyu tartar either! You could tell they use high quality ingredients. Service was alittle bit slow because it is a newer restaurant which I am sure will improve once the kinks are hashed out! Please give them patience! Ambiance is super moody in a romantic way. For me I feel it is more of a speakeasy modern vibe and menu catered towards adults, but people decided to bring their children with them when I went!

The first Japanese hot pot in Orlando! Currently doing soft opening on a few days so not open to public yet. They have a lot of Wagyu items including Wagyu hot pot, Wagyu sando, Wagyu dumplings, and more. They also have good seafood items as well. We tried silver set 8oz wagyu hot pot, seafood set, and Wagyu dumplings. The ingredients are good, I expected the Wagyu items to be good and they sure were. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of seafood items, they are great and worth it for the seafood set. Our server was very nice and helpful. The vibe was very nice and it's fun to enter the restaurant through a secret door in Nola ice cream shop. It is pricey but that's to be expected for anything Wagyu. Overall I would recommend trying them out!

The place is hidden inside of an ice cream shop. It was casual dining vibe for all of us that night. We got 2 golden hot pot sets: Pho and Spicy Szechuan. I would rate the Pho broth to be a 7/10. Spicy Szechuan however would rank higher at 8/10. Our server did a great job explaining things for us. I thought the golden sets wouldn't be enough but we ended up having so much leftovers. We also had the Wagyu rice box and that was 9/10. Highly recommend you try the rice box! We went kinda late so we didn't get a chance to try the ice cream but maybe next time!

First thing first, I called Jules, the receptionist, she was so sweet and walked me through how to get to the restaurant. Entrance was so cool! Service was amazing and so was the ambiance. Don was our server and he was absolutely knowledgeable and friendly!! We got the Wagyu rice box, seafood crudo, and the silver set hot pot. Perfect amount of food for two! Quality was unmatched and world class. For sure coming back to explore the menu more!!

Everything was amazing! The service, decor and quality of the food were all 5 stars! I highly recommend coming here when in Orlando!

Omg it's hard to put into words how great the food is. I was excited to try this place and was not disappointed the place looks amazing the food was another level and can't wait to go back and have my socks knocked off again and again.

Very cool location and even better staff. It's hidden inside an ice cream shop and all the staff are very friendly! The dumplings are a 10/10 I recommend starting with those

We went to Nabe for the soft opening. The A5 Wagyu is amazing! We order the Wagyu lumpia and dumplings for appetizers and then ordered the Wagyu rice box and seafood crudo for dinner. Normally I am not a big fan of raw fish but the combination of seafood on the platter gave each piece a lot of flavor. The server was awesome- he gave descriptions of every item on the menu like he had worked there for years! The restaurant is cozy and the decor is simply amazing. Also, the ceramic animal chopstick holders are an adorable touch on the tables. You must try this restaurant especially since you can enjoy their ice cream shop for dessert after dinner!

We went on their first night open. Ambiance was great! I loved the seafood rice dish. The wagyu was very underwhelming. We ordered the Sando and dumplings. The sando was pretty bland. I think maybe our wagyu was overcooked and there was no flavor. The beef did not melt in our mouths and was tough to chew. We ended up dipping our sando into the sauce that comes with the dumplings. However, we understood that they are still in the soft opening and there is always room for improvement. The Wagyu dumplings were good but really oily (which is understood!). Overall, nothing really enticed us to want to come back but we did enjoy the experience.
