How we picked these seven

Every candidate is a sushi restaurant open today in Orange, Seminole or Osceola county. The score has three parts, all from public evidence we can show you:

  • Public reputation: star rating weighted by how many people left it50 pts
  • Recognition from independent guides and awards, 2024 to 202630 pts
  • Track record in Orlando, in years20 pts

Nobody paid to appear here or to move up. This is the launch edition, so anonymous visits and calls, health-inspection records and owner responses are not part of these scores yet; when we add them, the page will say so and the date will change. Read the full method.

Questions, answered

What is the best sushi restaurant in Orlando?

In our October 20, 2026 edition, Seito Sushi ranks first with 76 of 100 points, followed by Soseki with 75 and Kadence with 74. Its strongest recognition: Orlando Weekly Best of Orlando 2025 - Best Sushi, winner (readers). Scores combine the public Google rating, independent recognition and years in business.

Are there Michelin-starred sushi restaurants in Orlando?

Yes. Kadence in Audubon Park and Soseki in Winter Park each hold one Michelin star in the 2026 Florida guide, and both serve sushi as part of an omakase. Sorekara in Baldwin Park holds two stars, but it is a seasonal Japanese tasting menu in which nigiri is one course, so we do not rank it as a sushi restaurant.

Where can I find good-value sushi in Orlando?

Norigami in Winter Garden and Sushi Saint downtown both hold Michelin's Bib Gourmand, which flags good cooking at moderate prices. Norigami offers a ten-piece omakase or a la carte pieces at an eight-seat counter, while Sushi Saint centers on made-to-order hand rolls.

Do I need a reservation for Orlando's sushi counters?

For the small counters, yes. Kadence books through Tock, Edoboy releases timed slots on Resy every Monday at noon, and Norigami and Sushi Saint take reservations on OpenTable.
