The Write-Up
Maki Hibachi is a tiny, intimate Lake Nona Landing room that treats sushi like a craft, with fish guests call the freshest around. The tuna tataki draws the strongest language at the table, backed by the Nona roll, the sexy lobster roll, and hibachi plates with fried rice and the white sauce regulars swear by. Portions run large enough for leftovers, and a passion fruit sakitini keeps the small room lively.
