Seito Sushi - An Average Experience

Friday night we decided to continue our Sushi Restaurant Reviews of the Orlando area by having dinner at Seito Sushi at the 501 North Orlando Avenue location in Winter Park. This is located in the Winter Park Village Mall on the south side of the Regal Cinema Entertainment Complex.

We arrived approximately 7:30 PM and the place was full inside and we were offered a 5 minute wait to sit outside alfresco. We opted to sit at the sushi bar which at first was not available according to our hostess, but when a server over heard our request, she asked us to follow her and she seated us at the sushi bar with out difficulty. We felt that an indoor seat was cooler, therefore more comfortable and that raw fish requires a less "pedestrian" environment.

We spoke to the sushi chef closest to us and he made a couple of recommendations which we adopted as our dinner.
We started with the large order of the Tuna Kobachi which is raw tuna cubes, with Japanese seven spice and sesame seed oil. It was good. It was fresh. But it was not stand out. Ken mentioned that perhaps we should have had a smaller order. They gave us a sampling of sauces that we could try with the tuna but none of the were quite right. Some were acidic, some sweet and some were mildly hot. None was perfect.

Next came the Beef Negimakiyaki which was a seared roll of thinly sliced beef with scallion served with a teriyaki sauce. It was cooked and warm but it was only fair in flavor.

The last dish was a sampling of sashimi which the chef said he would give us all of the upgraded fish he had available. We mentioned that we would appreciate that very much. The sashimi sampling was fair at best. The sampling included raw scallops, white and yellow fin tuna and salmon. The quality of the sashimi was good but NOT excellent.

We did however, enjoy the two bottles of wine we had with our sashimi. It was a California Chardonay and it was very nice at a very reasonable price.

The restaurant is dimly lit and the decor is subtle but non descript. The service was good and cheerful. And the location was very convenient because we planned on seeing, The Kingdom, after dinner.

Ken and Len consider Wazzabi Japanese Steak House to be superior in every category, so we give Seito Sushi 2-FORKS
