Norigami Orlando

Chef David's flavors are on point for every dish - we loved it! The blue crab nigiri and the hotate were the standouts, but everything was great. Nothing in the omakase or the a la carte options we tried disappointed. The price point was low for the quality, and I liked that the food was luxe but the location wasn't. A casual Michelin meal in jeans is SO refreshing.

Norigami is the literal definition of a hidden gem…but it won’t be for very long! You’d better check this place out now before more people find out about it and it becomes virtually impossible to get a reservation!!! Let’s start with saying how amazing this place is - tucked away in the midst of all the action in Plant Street Market, Norigami is a small 8-seat sushi bar where you can sit and watch the chefs prepare your sushi. This is NOT your ordinary sushi restaurant - this place is Michelin-recommended and is a full-on culinary experience…you can see how it got all its accolades very quickly after you sit down! I would highly recommend doing the omakase experience - basically a 10-piece chef tasting alongside a hand roll and miso soup. For only $65 per person, it is far more reasonable than any other omakase I’ve ever seen (most places being $100-200 per person), they don’t sacrifice quality at all!! The food is absolutely wonderful!! By far the freshest and best-tasting sushi I have ever had anywhere, and I’ve been to Japan! From the hotate to the colossal shrimp with Cajun mayo to the king salmon to the hamachi, and every other piece we tried, it is all incredible! So much flavor in every bite and I am wishing I would be there again right now as I’m typing this. I also highly recommend the spicy edamame as well as the popcorn hamachi appetizer - both amazing options! The level of quality, service, and the whole experience is SO not something you’d expect in Plant Street Market, and it’s more on par with something you’d get in downtown Miami, New York, or Chicago - Winter Garden is very lucky to have Norigami!! So, check this place out, because if you love sushi and want the freshest fish around, it is 100% worth it!!

Unbelievable! Great use of the space at plant street. The quality of the food and the service is unparalleled and seems crazy we can have such a prestigious experience in such a casual setting. We can ride on west orange or play tennis and feast on nigiri after. What is better than that?? We will be back
