This is a pop-up that’s been on my radar for a while but I just never got the chance to go since it only runs from Friday to Monday night. Tuun is a separate menu operating inside Sea Thai Orlando, and it focuses on upscale Thai dishes that I’m honestly not too familiar with. Orlando’s…
Usually on Valentine’s Day, my wife and I will choose to go to a fine dining establishment, but we waited too long this year and every single place was booked out like a month in advance. So we went to the old reliable Kabooki, but this time it was the Sand Lake location because the…
Back with another sushi review because that’s been pretty much all I eat when we have a date night it seems. With the temporary closure of Natsu Omakase, which is my go to spot for an omakase experience, we decided to retry Sushi Izuki again now that it’s been over half a year since their…
A lot of my recent reviews have been centered around sushi, but in my defense, when I go out to eat I gravitate towards things I cannot make at home. Sushi tops the list of something I frequently crave but also something I cannot do well at home. Hell, you cannot even get half the…
The idea of elevating temaki to become a legitimate restaurant concept was birthed in America. Originally, hand rolls were meant to be easy DIY sushi made in the Japanese household for gatherings.

The highly anticipated Kappo Tsan has just recently underwent their soft opening phase, so as a local sushi fanatic I was keeping a close eye on my email inbox for the reservation link. Sure enough, I was able to snag a spot. I guess this is the time to admit my blog is heavily focused…

It’s high end steakhouse prices in an upscale brunch setting. My general verdict is that the food is good, but at the price point I wouldn’t come…
June is an upscale Mexican restaurant in the Thornton Park region of downtown Orlando. I really like the design and atmosphere of the restaurant. It’s like walking into a modernized hacienda, it feels new and hip but also cozy and warm. It gives off a trendy vibe similar to AVA MediterrAegean without the pretentious feeling…
Coro restaurant Orlando is a small plates spot in Audubon Park that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and I can totally tell they’re catering to the Michelin guide. The cozy modern ambiance feels like walking into an artsy rich person’s kitchen, but after spending about $100 per person during my visit, I’m left wondering if…
Otto’s High Dive in Orlando’s Milk District is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Cuban restaurant that’s been on my radar for months. My wife brought home a slice of their tres leches cake a while back, and I was instantly hooked. That dessert alone ranks in my top 5 in Orlando, so I needed to know…
