The best izakayas in Orlando, according to the experts: Michelin Guide, Time Out, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Tori Tori comes out on top.

Rank 1. Tori Tori
Izakaya Japanese
The restaurant's name painted across the side of the building sets the tone before you're even inside. Tori Tori is a Mills District izakaya, meaning you'll spend a happy evening moving between yakitori skewers, creative sake cocktails, and fried rice packed with crab. No reservations, so the drill is arriving early or accepting your fate in the line out front, which most regulars seem to take as a point of pride.

Rank 2. Juju
Izakaya Japanese
The kappo bar runs just six seats, where dry-aged sashimi is the main event at this retro izakaya. The team ages king salmon for two weeks and otoro for four, which is long enough to make the usual raw-fish conversation feel a little naive. Beyond that counter, the broader menu covers snacks, soups, and grilled and fried courses. The Michelin Guide has it listed as a selected restaurant.
