The only reason why I am giving Sushi Saint 4 stars instead of 5 is that their temakis are quite overpriced. Except for the vegetarian options, they range from $11 to $22 and are quite small. However, the high-quality ingredients and flawless preparation were noticeable.
For the appetizer, we ordered the truffled edamame. It was tasty but overly buttery; the added butter on top of the truffle oil made it too greasy, especially at the bottom of the bowl. Based on reviews, we should have opted for the Sichuan cucumbers with chili crunch instead.
For the main course, I tried the King Salmon, Crab, and Cucumber umeboshi. All three were good, though small. The King Salmon stood out as the best of the trio. Before they bring the check, they'll bring you a warm fish broth (dashi) to cleanse your palate and aid in digestion. It tasted like a fishy mild miso soup and did its job.
If, like me, you enjoy pairing beer with Japanese food, I highly recommend giving their CBD infused beer, Mountain Duuuude, a shot! Good vibes.
The service was impeccable--definitely among the top 3 I've experienced in Orlando! Sitting at the bar was a great choice, allowing us to watch the chefs in action. Both the servers and food preparers were super knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.
The ambiance added to the experience, with its contemporary design making the place aesthetically pleasing. I'm also dying to know what room aroma spray they use because it was the best-smelling restaurant I've visited in Orlando!
