Here are our top picks for the best places to order sushi:
- Splitsville

#6 Splitsville at Disney Springs
Splitsville is a bowling alley at Disney Springs. So, what does that have to do with sushi? Well, they have over 12 uniqe sushi rolls on the menu. This location is well-known for serving excellent rolls. You can preview the entire Splitsville menu here.
This is also a great choice if you have guests in your group who don’t care for this delicate seafood cuisine. They can munch on American classics. Did I mention this was a bowling alley? You might reserve a lane before or after your meal in the dining room.

#5 Kimonos at Disney’s Swan and Dolphin
Moving on, Kimonos at Disney’s Swan Hotel is well-known for their sushi. In fact, they’ve won several awards, including being voted “Top Sushi Restaurant” by Orlando Magazine. I would say that’s probably something worth bragging about.
You can preview the Kimonos menu with prices. Make sure to check out their vegetarian rolls! Anyone who’s looking for a true sushi-focused meal, this will probably be your best bet. It’s their specialty.
#4 Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian
Over the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy several meals at Kona Cafe. The popular restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of the Great Ceremonial House at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Below is a photo of their small sushi sampler. It was anything but small. This is my favorite section of the sushi I’ve tried at Kona to date. It has a nice variety, and includes the sashimi preparation.
On another visit, I had this shrimp tempura roll, and it was wonderful.
Here is a photo of their rainbow roll.
#3 Takumi Tei at Epcot
Takumi Tei has several excellent sushi options. This signature dining restaurant is in the Japan Pavilion at Epcot near the Mitsukoshi department store. Below is a photo of the Temari sushi, which comes as part of the Omakase Tasting Menu.
This beauty below is the Takumi Sashimi. Hands down, this was the best presentation of sushi I’ve ever been served at Disney World or anywhere else. We have a review of Takumi Tei if you’d like to see the rest of the tasting menu we had on this particular evening.
#2 California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary
Our next location for best sushi at Disney World is the California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary. Below is the new moon roll that was topped with barbecued eel. This roll remains memorable. It’s one of those things that I probably would have never ordered had it not been for the chef’s recommendation. It was absolutely delicious, and I would order it again.
#1 Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs
Back at Disney Springs, we have our number one option for sushi at Disney World. It’s none other than the popular Morimoto Asia. So if you love sushi or Asian cuisine, you definitely want to plan a meal here.
Below is the spicy tuna roll. You can probably tell from the picture that a high-grade of tuna with its light pink color.
And this is the spicy salmon roll, which was at one time my favorite, until…
I ordered the Toku-Jyo platter.
One evening, I went to the Forbidden Lounge at Morimoto Asia and ordered this for a meal. The selection was so much larger than I anticipated. But it was so good I didn’t regret ordering it a bit. And neither will you!
When I first dreamed up writing this review of the best sushi at Disney, there was no question about which location would come in first. This platter cost around $55.00 at the time and included the chef’s daily selection of 9 pieces of nigiri and 1 roll.
We have a review of Morimoto Asia if you want to learn more. It includes several meals we’ve enjoyed at the restaurant.
We hope you enjoyed this list of the best sushi at Disney World! While we have a few favorites, we don’t think you can go wrong with any of these locations! Bon appetite!
