Sushi Pop Winter Park

We have visited numerous sushi restaurants, and the offerings here are truly delicious and unique compared to the usual options. Our server was incredibly friendly and assisted us throughout our dining experience. We also have to inquire about your restaurant playlist because it was fantastic!

I've been coming here since they opened. It's definitely part of our Orlando/WP rotation and a date night for us. Last time we were there it was for an omakase and it was great. The food is always great. That's not the issue. Tonight, I took my mother out to dinner here. As usual, the food was delicious. The service, however, was subpar. In fact it was insulting. I write this with the hope that management reviews these reviews. I could list complaints of lack of water, or asking for wasabi and ginger that didn't come with the rolls and nigiri ordered which never came. But, the unforgivable issue is that while looking for our server who just disappeared at times, I finally spotted her at the bar with 2 other servers taking a shot with the bartender at 7 pm in the middle of dinner service. Look. I can take bad service. I can accept overworked servers that chose to come to work that day when others quit or no showed. I can handle all of that and tip minimum 20% and usually more. But, what I cannot accept is not having water, asking for things only for them not to come, observing neighboring tables craning their necks looking for their server only to see her taking a shot at the bar. I thought Sushi Pop was better than this. I hope management/ownership monitors Yelp and realizes that I'm not likely to come back. Kabooki, Seito, Wa Sushi are all very good. I hope this server reads my note--which came with half the tip I normally would have given--and thinks about hospitality and what I think when I'm spending money there and watch her taking shots while I'm not being served.

Sushi Pop in WP for Magical Dining. I LOVE this place!!!! The food was incredible and the service absolutely perfect. When we needed someone, our server was there. A lovely experience from start to finish. We started with the 2 'Jack ' appetizers. The one with the apple was our fave but both super fresh and delicious. Then, rolls nigiri. We had the ceviche and anaconda with yellowtail and bass. Yum. They tasted incredible and the ceviche was our fave. They were not the tightest rolls so they were a little tough to eat but still really good and fresh. Highly recommend!!

Creative, flavorful dishes with a great atmosphere. Came for Magical Dining and got the crispy pork with citrus mofongo, Bangkok Dangerous roll with 2 pieces of Unagi nigiri, and a yuzu posset

I really enjoyed happy hour at Sushi Pop. I walked in right at 5pm, which is highly recommended because the restaurant isn 't that big and it gets CROWDED QUICKLY. Happy hour is from 5 6:30pm Wednesday through Friday and 3 6:30pm Saturday and Sunday at the bar and bar tables ONLY. I ordered a few things from the happy hour menu and they were YUMMY so I 'll get into it. I got the cocktail of the day, which was a gin based drink called Love Me 2 Ways , and it was very fruity, sweet and delicious. We were off to a great start so I tried to Salmon Kobachi. It was like ceviche, but with cubed salmon and avocado. I didn 't really like it, there was zero flavor. With mild tasting foods like raw salmon and avocado, you gotta add some type of savory element to it, maybe some Thai chili or mango or eel sauce. It WAS fresh though, and I can taste the love in the preparation. Next was the Bao, which was by far my favorite small plate. I ordered the Crispy Fried Chicken Bao which also had spicy plum sauce and apple slaw on it. Sounds weird, but literally tastes like Thai Chili sauce. It was SOOOO good, all of the flavors were so perfect together. They were like $4 so I got 3 of them, definitely a must try. My drink was done by this point so I ordered a daiquiri. It wasn 't exactly what I was expecting, and I don 't feel like it was worth it, even on the happy hour menu. It was $9 and I finished it in 2 gulps. The cocktail of the day might be your best bet there. Then I decided to order some rolls since this is a sushi spot after all. I ordered the Spicy Tuna roll and the Coco roll. The Coco roll was definitely my favorite. Such a bold idea to put toasted coconut flakes on what would be just a normal shrimp tempura roll. I usually don 't care for coconut, but they did this so well. The Spicy Tuna roll was average, nothing special to be honest but still very good. I 'm super excited to come back for their brunch they keep talking so much about. And I 'll definitely come back on a normal night to try out their dinner menu, looks really good. A few things to note is that they do have a location in Oviedo in case Winter Park is a stretch for you, the menu, however, may differ. There 's only free street parking and, again, the restaurant is small, so I would probably come at an off time maybe very early and mid week. If you do come at a busy time, reservations are highly recommended. When I went, the bartenders were also serving the bar tables surrounding the bar. So if you 're going for happy hour, patience is a virtue. In summary, I did really enjoy my time here and would definitely recommend.
