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.
