I love the C.B.C.L.T burger! Holds the number 2 spot for best burger I've ever had. Tuna and avocado tini is a great app. Had a couple of their sushi rolls but nothing to rave about, most of them are overly spicy IMO. If you are into mock tails, try the dragon fruit spritz... sooo good! The mini burgers in the kids bento box aren't the best but cute dessert (rice crispy, Swedish dish and fruit roll up piece to make it look like a sushi piece).

We had gone to cowfish in 2021/2022 & 2023. Loved it and we try to get back on special occasions. This last visit 2/16/25 was terrible. The host staff were very unfriendly, look like they were having a miserable time and projected that anytime you talk to them. I understand tourists can be draining. We try not to hit up tourist areas during high volume times however, this was a special occasion birthday. It was not an overly busy day either so the 45 minute wait past our reservation was odd. Understandably patio was closed due to rain. However, the staff that should've been covering that did not cover the Least five large booths not being used due to "not enough staff. We would've chucked this all up to just how the day is sometimes in a restaurant world, but the food was not very good. In past it has been both great service and food. It just is not what it used to be. For the price, it felt more like eating at a Chili's but at least at Chili's a manager at least at one point comes by to ask how things are going. They never once acknowledged our birthday person that we noted on reservation, told staff and had on a huge button. I can't remember in the past if they ever did, but they never asked if we have any discounts to apply like an annual pass. Before anyone is thinking oh Karen, I never leave bad reviews unless I really felt it needs to be shared to save your money. I typically leave good reviews, especially when But in this case,I was Highly disappointed and absolutely not worth the price we paid for even for a regular dinner out. Staff , food , atmosphere . The waiter was not bad. He was kind and we left him a good tip over the 18% added to party of 6 because none of these things were his fault. In fact, I have to add there was a party of two sitting next to us. The lady ordered a Poké bowl and a mixed drink of some sort and she only had one bite of her Poké bowl and have her drink and I heard them comment on how it was not that great. A good : two people at our table and one person at their table all had the old-fashioned , bourbon and bacon and that was wonderful. Still not worth the price.

Service was great, no complaints here, however the food was mediocre. I ordered a fusion box bento for $23 and expected more than what I got. The sweet potato fries were fried in old oil and was soft and not crispy, the cucumber salad pickled in sweet rice vinegar and it was not fresh tasting. The tiny burger was a dallop of ground beef. I guess the best part was the 4 piece of firecracker roll that came with the bento. I should've just ordered a roll instead of a bento box Would not return again. Bento boxes are not worth the hype or money I ended up only eating the roll and a few of the edamame beans.

After a long day, walking through the parks, Cowfish Sushi was just what the doctor ordered. Instead of spending tons of money on overpriced, mediocre food at the parks, we decided to eat outside in city walk. Although the sushi could've been better, our overall dining experience was delicious.Our waiter Ty was great, describing the plates we asked him about as well as giving us tips about some other local things in the area. I will say that our favorites were the loaded fry and crispy sushi, rice appetizer, as well as the cookies and cream milkshake. That milkshake was out of this world!

Reservations were very easy to make. The service was amazing, our waitress had great recommendations for us (I forgot her name!). The sushi was amazing as well. The one thing I would say is you can't decide between burgers or sushi split them with your party. My husband and I couldn't decide and both got bento boxes to have the best of both worlds but ended up ordering another sushi roll. The decor is fun and it's a great restaurant for kids!

Pretty solid choice and a hidden gem out in the open, just across the street from Universal Store City walk on the opposing corner.The Crab Rangoon Dip is delicious and has real pieces of crab in the dip. The wanton chips are delicious and the sweet chili sauce gives it an extra layer of depth. Brilliant!The Buffalo Burgushi was pretty interesting choice and fusion food done right. The chicken could've been slightly less dry or maybe slow-cooked in buffalo sauce or something, but it wasn't enough to ruin the good.And the staff were stellar, even with how busy it was. Bit of a well-oiled machine in the chaos of being at a theme park. Well worth going! Also reservations are probably needed for tables with how busy it is, but the bar may be open (look for the *black* seats).Bonus points for the awesome music, mostly alternative like Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, and The Killers.

Finally got to try this place a few weekends ago as we became Universal Annual Passholders and glad we got to!Cowfish is right in City Walk overlooking the parks. The ambience is nice but nothing too special. I was there last month for their anniversary and tried food from their specialty menu and let me just say I wasn't ready lol. The portions are pretty large and SO hearty! There's no way you can leave here hungry, no matter what you get. We started with their parmesan fries which are always gonna be a favorite of mine but Cowfish may be in my top for the best! They were so good I forgot to take a picture haha. For entrees, my husband got their cheeseburger roll which is insane to think about but was pretty tasty! I got the prime time filet & lobster roll which was to die for - that need to be on the permanent menu! Our server was sweet and very funny as she dealt with me and my many many questions! I'll definitely be returning to Cowfish on my next Universal day!

My group was really intrigued by this restaurants menu and wanted to check it out while on vacation. The prices are high, but that's to be expected when it's in a city walk right outside of Universal. The menu primarily had variations of sushi rolls and burgers with alcoholic drinks and non-alcoholic drinks available. My husband and I tried the bento box which included a small cheeseburger, 4 pieces of sushi and some sides. Overall the food and flavors were very good. I honestly didn't care for the alcoholic in the boozy milkshake. I was expecting to barely taste the alcohol in it, and instead both the milkshake and the maraschino cherry on top tasted like they were mixed with 100 proof moonshine. The atmosphere was fun and we liked being able to choose between the outdoor patio or an indoor table. There can be a long wait time, so I highly recommend booking a reservation early. Service was average compared to other great experiences. I would try again, but expect an expensive bill if you're going to dine here.

Realistically, I would probably give this place a 3.5, the service was great, the atmosphere was typical of a restaurant at city walk. However, I was excited for the uniqueness of the food and it kind of fell short. For appetizers, I got to try the Brussel sprouts and fried pickles. The Brussel sprouts were good and the pickles were average. I got the buffalo chicken burgushi which I was excited for, it was good, but the price felt too expensive for what I was getting. I also got the flamin salmon roll. This one was a bit disappointing. It's a deep fried roll, but it tasted a bit dry. I think it would benefit from having some kind of sauce on it. Overall, it's good, but there is better, cheaper sushi in Orlando.

My wife and I just spent the weekend in Orlando and Cowfish was where we had our first meal upon arrival. We enjoyed it so much that we went back on our last day in Orlando for our last meal. My wife ordered the exact same thing (The All-American Bacon Double Cheeseburgooshi). My particular favorite was The Boursin Bacon Burger - I can't stop thinking about it). As for the service, the girl who waited on us, Sydney, was so attentive, despite how busy she was, pleasant in a way I've become all too unaccustomed too, and really just a delight. We had to communicate to her that she made us feel special and really contributed to our vacation experience. Also, the woman at the bar who made my drink that first night - unfortunately I can't remember he name - made a perfect mixed drink, and I told her as much. She knows her mixology. The ambiance was great; thankfully a respite from the noise and congestion from the surrounding walkway. I would highly recommend.
