My food choices are pretty basic. If I knew I wouldn’t gain a million pounds, I would live off sushi, coke icees, kettle corn popcorn, and Baby Ruth candy bars. But I digress.
When I travel, I am always looking to fill my belly with the best sushi and when Orlando is your destination, you MUST eat at Sushi Katana. My cousin and I went to Orlando for the Buffett | Eagles concert (which was epic, BTW) so our first stop when we arrived was for SUSHI!
It was packed because Sushi Katana is located at the Mall at Millenia, and we were arriving in Orlando on Friday at 6:30. We took the couch area towards the back of the restaurant. It was my first time sitting back there, and I loved it; it was cozy and intimate. I started with a glass of their White Peach Saki. It was sooo good y’all! Cool, refreshing, and light, it was smooth and went down easy. It paired perfectly with our squid salad, which was delicious.
I loved it so much that I had our sweet waitress give me the details so I could share them with you. Hana White Peach Saki is where it’s at. If you’ve had this before, let me know your thoughts. If you haven’t tried it, run to the nearest liquor store or grab a bottle online — Y’all, even the bottle is pretty!
Up next, we shared their squid salad! Typically, when I order this at other sushi restaurants, the squid is on top of sliced cucumbers. Personally, I prefer Sushi Katana’s presentation as I am not a big cucumber fan, however, from a visual perspective, it appears to lack compared to having the cucumbers, as it fills the bowl better. However, it is so yummy!
Friday night, I ordered the Volcano Roll and the Millennium Roll. I love their presentation. Everything is always so beautiful!
The Volcano has tuna, asparagus, cream cheese on the inside, and avocado, spicy baked scallops, krab, masago, and scallions piled on top. Y’all, I can’t even handle how good this roll is; you MUST try it if you’re ever in Orlando.
The Millennium roll is shrimp tempura, cream cheese, and cucumber, topped with shrimp, avocado, eel sauce, and scallions.
My cousin, Karlene, decided to try the Big H Roll, which is shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese, topped with baked spicy conch, krab, octopus, and masago. It was good, but I am biased towards my selections. Hers looked yummy, but my flavors mixed better and felt like an explosion of goodness.
Overall, Sushi Katana favorite sushi restaurant of all the sushi restaurants where I’ve dined, hands down. Please take the time to check out Sushi Katana the next time you’re in Orlando.
