Where to Find the Best Sushi at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World is surely a foodie’s delight, but did you know Disney Parks and Resorts offer some truly delicious sushi? Sushi may not be the first food that comes to mind while planning a Disney vacation, but some of these restaurants definitely need to go on your list!

Available at all kinds of dining locations, from outdoor kiosks and quick-service restaurants to table service and even signature dining, sushi is actually one of the most versatile eats at Walt Disney World. And, many restaurants with sushi on the menu are located outside of the theme parks, so you do not even need a park ticket to indulge.

These are the restaurants that sushi lovers can’t miss while exploring Disney Parks and Resorts.

Katsura Grill in EPCOT

We’re starting off with something, quick, fresh, and easy on the wallet. Katsura Grill is the quick-service dining location in EPCOT’s Japan pavilion. The restaurant, which is located in the middle of the pavilion nearby beautiful gardens and architecture inspired by the historic Katsura Imperial Villa near Kyoto, Japan.

Sushi offerings here include California Rolls, Spicy Rolls with your choice of either Tuna or Salmon, Vegetarian Rolls, and a selection of Nigiri available as a combo set with California Rolls. The sushi at Katsura Grill is fresh and delicious, and all priced between $9 and $12. Katsura Grill offers teriyaki and udon noodle dishes as well.

Tokyo Dining in EPCOT

Continuing our feast in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion, Tokyo Dining is easily one of the most underrated restaurants at Walt Disney World. This location offers authentic Japanese cuisine in a gorgeous setting that features views of World Showcase Lagoon.

Tokyo Dining offers a wide selection of sushi including multiple types of Sashimi and Nigiri, along with specialty rolls like the Volcano Roll (California Roll topped with Tuna, Yellowtail, Salmon, Smelt Roe, Tempura Crunch and Volcano Sauce) and the Hako Rainbow (Layered Tuna and Salmon, Smelt Roe, Avocado, Shiso rice, Soy paper, Eel and Volcano Sauce).

Sake and wine pairings are also available for Guests ages 21 and over. And, with Matcha Tiramisu, this is one location where you will want to save room for dessert!

Kimonos at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort

Moving on from the theme parks, our search for sushi brings us to the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort. This resort is conveniently within walking distance (or a short FriendShip boat ride) of both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and its sushi restaurant is not to be missed.

At Kimonos, fresh sushi is served alongside other elements of traditional Japanese cuisine like tempura platters and Kobe beef satay. Standouts on Kimonos’ sushi menu include a Coconut Shrimp take on classic shrimp tempura, a number of vegetarian options, and even a Cajun roll featuring crawfish, in addition to traditional sushi staples. The popular sushi bar is also a hidden gem of Walt Disney World nightlife with karaoke offered on select nights.

Kona Cafe & Kona Island at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

One of the most popular spots along the monorail to stop for a bite of sushi can be found at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Kona Cafe, and its neighbor Kona Island, serve a handful of delicious sushi dishes prepared fresh in view of the main dining space.

The sushi lineup at Kona Cafe has changed fairly often over the years, but lately we have been loving this restaurant’s spicy tuna rolls. The restaurant’s California Rolls are also delicious, as is its standout sushi item, the Rainbow Rol, featuring Tuna, Salmon, Shrimp, Hamachi, Lump Crab, Cucumber, and Avocado.

California Grill

Continuing our way around the Magic Kingdom monorail loop, California Grill located high atop Disney’s Contemporary Resort has been a favorite Disney sushi spot for years.

A popular restaurant for dinner during the fireworks, California Grill is currently running with a special pre-fixe menu in honor of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World. Guests can order sushi as an appetizer either as a trio featuring Blue Crab California Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Spicy Kazan Roll, or they can opt for the Cascade Roll made with Tuna, Salmon and Hamachi Poke, Jicama, Cucumber, Yuzu-Avocado Purée, Masago Arare, and Soy Gel.

For more sushi at Walt Disney World, be sure to spend some time at Disney Springs. Morimoto Asia has an extensive menu packed with all kinds of Asian cuisine, and Splitsville has some surprisingly delicious sushi for a bowling alley. Various takes on sushi can also be found at EPCOT’s annual festivals, with “frushi,” aka fruit-sushi during Flower & Garden Festival being a fan-favorite.
