WA Restaurant, Orlando

Wa Restaurant, situated next to the Universal Studio Resort, offers diners a chance to experience authentic Japanese cuisine and drinks. The setting is modern decor featuring low-lighting, comfortable couches, a large flat-screen television, sushi bar as well as a sake bar. Enjoy a traditional Japanese meal cooked with modern techniques or go for fresh sushi specially prepared with fish flown in from Japan and Hawaii. A meal at Wa Resturant would not be complete without a taste of at least one (or more) of the 28 imported sake selections, a mug of local organic beer or a glass of international wine. - Diane Dilov-Schultheis
