About the restaurant

We are a team of young and inspired professionals taking down the walls between kitchen and guests and taking you on a culinary adventure. Immerse yourself in a progressive tasting menu focusing on the simple, yet luxurious, ingredients around the world with deep inspiration from Japanese cuisine.

We challenge the seasons, navigate beyond the limits of time and break with tradition— getting playful with process and tricky with techniques at the intersection of place and possibility.

At Ômo we offer a unique and exclusive experience to only 16 guest at a time. The journey starts in the living room with a welcome drink and snacks, then you are transported into the main counter overlooking the kitchen where you will enjoy all the savory bites in an interactive environment. At the end, you will transition to the pastry parlor to continue your experience with sweet bites and after dinner drinks.

I Drive / Sand Lake

About the restaurant

FIVE-time Florida Trend Golden Spoon Award (2015 – 19) winner, Dragonfly Robata Grill & Sushi features authentic modern Japanese gastropub cuisine.

Our diverse menu features sushi, steak, veggies, seafood, noodles, and rice dishes, but a must-try on your visit—your favorite(s) from our robatayaki (robata) grill. One of the nation’s first to use traditional robata grilling techniques & white-oak (binchōtan) charcoal, our team has perfected the art of grilling using the smokeless 1,000° heat of binchotān to unlock the natural flavors of vegetables and proteins.

A favorite of locals, conventioneers, and tourists, Dragonfly is centrally located 3 miles from the Orange County Convention Center and IDrive, 4 miles from Universal, and 5 miles from Disney. Whether you’re looking to host a private event, chef’s table dinner, enjoy a fountain-side patio or just relax in the lounge, we’ve got you covered. Join us and share in our #artfulflavors!

Very good sushi experience. Some interesting twists, such as the house edamame and volcano roll. Definitely worth the trip if you love sushi and are in Orlando. Service was very attentive and informative and very efficient. We do sushi in many cities, and can say this a very good one.

Very friendly manager and chef. They truly cared about giving my father, who was having his 90th birthday, an unforgettable experience. Kudos to this great Restaurant. Food was tremendous… about the only negative if you want to call it that, is there was so much to eat!

About the restaurant

Meticulously crafted from a desire to bring people closer together, Oza Izakaya serves to surround our guests with pure bliss. Every bite, every sip, and every moment is designed for your enjoyment and to make memories alongside those you cherish. Taking inspiration from the stars, “uoza” or 魚座 celebrates Pisces, the fish in the sky, and our team wants to provide a similarly celestial experience for you.

An izakaya is a place where you can unwind, have a drink, and laugh with family and friends. It’s a home away from home. And we want to welcome you home.
