Top 7 Gluten-Free Asian Spots to Explore in Winter Garden

My husband and I had an incredible experience at X Sushi. The restaurant is in an unassuming commercial strip in Winter Garden, but the inside is a complete surprise. The interior is beautifully designed, and even the scent inside is inviting—small details like these make a big difference. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. A personalized note at our table added such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress was knowledgeable and provided great recommendations, leading us to order the Otsu Roll, Burning Fire Roll, and Sashimi Moriawase. The Burning Fire and Otsu Rolls were outstanding—so many unique flavor combinations with citrusy notes, smooth textures, and crunchy little rice pearls for contrast. Unlike rolls at other sushi spots that can start to blur together, these stood out. The sashimi was also excellent, with a staff member presenting each fish and its origin, served with a more concentrated soy sauce for an elevated experience. Dessert wasn’t on our radar, but two people recommended the gluten-free sugar-free passion fruit cheesecake, and we’re so glad we tried it. Small but satisfying! X Sushi deserves a loyal following. If you’re in the Winter Garden area, this is a must-visit for a unique sushi experience.

We are SO glad to have a PeiWei so close to us. Being gluten free it’s so hard to find decent GF Chinese food. Staff here is always so friendly and food is always ready on time!

We’re normally don’t review places, but it was sooooo bad that you all need to be warned. My husband even asked for a manager and nobody even came by. We have been to AJI previously and had average/good experiences. Went recently and promise we will never be back again. The food was the lowest quality we’ve ever had. Rice was literally mush, like oatmeal. The filet tasted like it had been thawed and frozen several times. Chicken was dry and chewy. White sauce was watered down and disgusting A couple of us had been at city walk prior and weren’t very hungry. We asked if we could just share with the kids (who were ordering the adult $35-40 entrees) and they said it’s an up charge of $11. We even had somebody who is allergic to gluten and they even charged extra to spray gluten free spray. Absolutely crazy for a Bill over $250. But quality was worse than Taco Bell. Be warned. It’s nasty! Even the kids who asked to go there said it was disgustingly. We even threw out all of the left overs it was so gross!!! Deserves-5!
