Susuru

My review of Susure was during a Yelp elite event back in 2020 during the Covid quarantine. Since then I've moved to NC and came to Orlando for business. I had the opportunity to do a solo dine at Susuru while in town and I had to write another review.I was blown away. I always knew they were good, but I had such a great experience, from the service, ambience, and meal. I got the Chicken Karaage, Susuru Mini Gohan and the French fries. Everything came out so fast that I couldn't figure out what I wanted to start with. The Chicken Karaage is hands down the best Chicken Karaage I've had in my life. Crispy, warm, the right amount of citrusy and the sauce was an added treat. The mini bowl was equally delicious and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a small plate. From a service perspective, I got my fries to go, while my server Dennis was getting a box, I figured I'd ask for some extra sauce. As I'm thinking it, he had already begun to get me an extra ramekin of sauce. He was on top of it. If you have some time to make it out to Susuru. Don't pass it up.

Walk in only, no reservation, our wait was about 1 hour when given 40 minutes wait. There are bars in the plaza for drinks while waiting.Food are hit or miss, Yakitori items are very good while most of the small dishes were okay.Chicken Lower Thigh, Chick Oyster, Wings, Shishito Pepper were great, tender and perfectly grilled skewers.Beef Tongue was the only Yakitori that we didn't love. It was weird in texture and the form.Fries with Mentaiko Mayo were YUM. We ordered extra Mentaiko Mayo for dipping. Best buck spent!The Tako Wasa was very good. Refreshing with a kick.Tempura King Oyster was very watery.Karrage was fine. I's stick with the chicken wing from Yakitori menu.Onigiri with butter torched at the table - guilty pleasure but I can do without.Grilled Squid - rubbery.Grilled Street Corn - not bad, nothing special though.Lamb Chop - I'm not a lamb person but my friends enjoyed it. Came with slices of kabocha.Taro soft serve for the end.

Came twice during the holiday month and enjoyed both times! When it gets busy, the wait can definitely be a while so just be prepared. Both times I sat at the bar to help cut down the wait times lol. The ramen is good, tofu is refreshing, karage is salty (not in a bad way) and crispy, susuru gohan is simple but delish. Have also tried one of the skewers (eh, I'd prob spend my money on something else but I've heard others really like it). The okonomiyaki is good and a little bit different than traditional okonomiyakis I've had in the past. Ambiance is fun inside, making you feel like you're in Tokyo or something (at least it did for me lol). Their cocktails seem fun, can't wait to try it next time I visit!

Updating with my recent visit: The fries are still delicious and a great app to share! We also tried the fried oyster mushrooms which were pretty good. Regarding ramen, I decided to try the tonkotsu this time (straying from miso hot), and it was simply okay. The broth was lacking but the noodles were as good as I remember. The pork also wasn't my super favorite compared to some others I've had recently. Overall, you still can't beat the atmosphere and variety of menu! It will always be my favorite if I'm on the area

A must-visit for any ramen fan (like me)! I went on a Monday night and it was still an hour and a half wait, but so worth it.Our waitress, Asia, was super nice and helpful, and I loved the decor.Ramen is easily one of my favorite foods, and I was not disappointed here. Tonkotsu is my favorite, and I LOVE when a place has the black garlic oil, so I was ecstatic to see tonkotsu with black garlic oil on the menu. I'd highly recommend adding the black garlic oil whenever you can, because it brings an already amazing dish to the next level.Everything was so good and the portions are huge. It was hard to stop! Even then, you leave feeling feel but not gross. The prices aren't bad at all, especially considering the quality of the food.

We arrived shortly after opening and were told the wait would be 45 minutes to an hour. We waited about 50 minutes in total for a table of four, which wasn't too bad considering it was Christmas week.We tried a few different skewers. The short ribs were a bit chewy and not the best, but the chicken hearts, shinkawa, and achilles were good. The okonomiyaki $10 was packed with lots of cabbage. The unagi don $40 had a good amount of eel, and my daughter loved it. The uni ikura don $35 was heavenly, my favorite, but the portion was really small. The chashu gohan was alright, it felt like just pork belly over rice. We also ordered tonkatsu ramen $17 and chicken karaage $11, which my son enjoyed and devoured. The matcha tiramisu came with two teas, which paired very nicely together. Our total was $181 before tipping. We'll be back next time when we're in Florida!

This place was super packed! Was told 1hr-1hr 30 min wait but it was 45 min for 2 people. The waiter was very attentive and beer selection was niceI was craving ramen and got that but the soup flavor didn't exactly have depth for me. I read in other reviews it depends who is behind the kitchen that day.The mentaiko fries portion is HUGE. We could not finish it as 2 people, but there was very little sauce and you have to pay $1 extra for sufficient sauce. I didn't end up finishing the fries to see if that sauce was enough.My absolute favorite dish was the onigiro ochazuke, I have never had this before and it was amazing. It was very homey. The onigiri is crispy pan fried and the tea it's in compliments it.The dessert was also amazing

We just happened to stop in to the arcade next to this place and no wonder there was a huge line! We waited just about 1 1/2 hours but it was so worth it! The food and ambience sends you straight to Japan! The host(ess) yell "irashaimaseu" as you are taken to your table. The food is authentic and the beverage options are Japanese/Japanese inspired. We both got ramen and shared a sashimi plate for an appetizer alone with their matcha tiramasu. Sooo good. Epic even!

Last dinner in Florida before heading back to California & this place ended on a high note...I wasn't sure if I could eat anymore on this vacation but, when the food is good, you can!...OKINOMIYAKI: 10/10So good!Ground chicken skewer: 10/10CHICKEN THIGHS: 8.5/10Pork belly black tonkatsu ramen: 9/10SERVICE: 10/10 Arigato from Los Angeles, CA. We will visit you again next year :)Rock On Susuru!

Be ready to wait up to 2 hours at dinner. I'd like to rate the food but I haven't had any yet. Wait time is continually misrepresented. It better be great
