Nagoya Sushi - Winter Springs, FL

When we moved to the Winter Springs area we came across this cozy sushi establishment. The ambiance is intimate, quiet and great for date nights. Dinner begins with a hot towel, scented a bit lemony, to prepare for a great meal. The wine selection is nice, a variety of interesting whites and reds. Nagoya offers a vast selection of appetizers, great edemame, and soups. Some of our favorites are the steamed vegetable dumplings (yasai gyoza), crab rangoon, and calamari. The steamed vegetable dumplings are served with a sweet, tangy, soy-like sauce that compliments the dumplings very well. Crab rangoon is comprised of about five or six lightly fried crab-cream cheese bows with a wasabi cream sauce which is tangy with a kick of spice. The creamy, spicy and crunchy flavors go great together. Nagoya offers a vast selection of unique sushi rolls. XOXO, Suicide, Hot and Saucy, and the Sunrise are among our many favorites. If you like a nice light and crunchy roll with spice, salmon and cream cheese, then the XOXO roll is for you. This little kicker is filled with baked salmon, cream cheese, jalepenos, crab meat and scallions, and then lightly fried. All of the creamy, crunchy flavors pair well fabulously. The Suicide roll contains a hearty amount of baked salmon, cream cheese, jalepeno and hot sesame oil with a ginger coating on the outside...excellent flavors and a bit larger than the XOXO. The Sunrise roll is great if you are in the mood for something sweet and tangy. This one has salmon and eel on the outside, and crab meat, avacodo, asparagus and cream cheese on the inside. The sweet eel sauce on top mixed with the fish and eel brings out the bright taste of the eel. There are lots of other rolls we like and some we have yet to try, but we are never disappointed when it comes to the sushi at Nagoya...plus it's so close to us :-) We recommend Nagoya sushi for all the sushi-lovers out there for a comfortable, unique and delicious sushi experience.

Nagoya is located at 5661 Red Bug Lake Rd. in Winter Springs, FL (on the corner of Red Bug and Tuskawilla)

Shogun Sushi - Oviedo, FL

This is an amazing place to grab sushi. The atmosphere is very inviting, tables on each side, one for the habatchi-eaters and one for the sushi-lovers like us. The staff is so friendly, service is great as well. Appetizers offered include steamed broccoli, vegetable soup, steamed shrimp dumplings, and chicken yakitori. Portion sizes are perfect, not too large but good enough to get the tastebuds geared up for some fabulous sushi. Shogun offers a great roll selection, and have also added some new rolls we have yet to try. Favorites of ours include the Butterfly, the Red River, Crunch, and Ocean City. The Butterfly roll has a hearty amount of lightly crunchy spicy tuna inside, and layered with yellow tail and salmon sashimi outside with a dab of thai chili sauce on top. We have to say the fish on top is so fresh and tender, almost melts our mouths as we top of the flavor with a sip of Kendall Jackson chardonnay. The spicy sauce on top really enhances the fish flavor as well. The Butterfly a fabulous roll with a tasty variety of fish and flavors. The Red River roll contains king crab and crunchy tuna, as well as thinly sliced rare tuna on top. The crab in the middle is sweet, fresh and compliments the tuna taste very well. The crunch adds a kick to the fish flavors and the different textures of the tuna and crab go great together. Both are excellent rolls, and Shogun has many more that sushi-eaters will love to indulge in. We highly recommend Shogun to anyone who loves sushi because this place knows how to make the best rolls.

Shogun is located at 15 Alafaya Woods Blvd # 107 on the corner of Mitchell Hammock and Alafaya Trail.
