Bayridge Sushi & Steakhouse

The food here is decent but does not live up to other hibachi places I’ve been to. The only real reason to go here over other hibachi restaurants is because of the weekly deals, making dinner very cheap.
The service here is terrible. We had a reservation and had to wait about 30 extra minutes to be seated, even though the restaurant was empty. And once we were seated and ordered our food, it was another 45 minutes until we were greeted by our chef and started cooking the food.
You get what you pay for here.

I am note sure if it’s worth doing this review, since it seems the place was bought of a few days after I went. Either way, I was feeling reluctant toward going to this place because I saw that someone posted something about the place being closed off by the health department back on March. However, decoded to give it a chance. Was not bad, but not great. I would say that if you are around the area and eager to eat sushi, why not? But I wouldn’t go out of my way to attend to this place.

The food here is wonder and so are their specials. The problem is the customer service. The servers, except for one, have all seemed miserable. They are not friendly and are not on top of their game. It seems as though they didn’t even have assigned sections. We had one server come (after waiting about 5mins) and take our drink order… then three mins later had another server come and ask us what we wanted to drink.
They have a lunch special which is amazing. Steak or chicken hibachi with fried rice or noodles for $ 6! We always get the miso soup as well for $ 1.75. Our total bill for lunch was just around $ 8/​each! You can’t beat that! The price and the food is why I gave this place three stars. The lack of quality customer service is why I took two stars away. I will post photos of their specials.

Absolutely AMAZING spicy shrimp & crab rolls! Happy Hour is daily from 3−6pm. Found a new weekly spot!

Since my last review about the poor service this location has significantly improved and I am happy to say it is one of my favorite places to go for sushi.

This is our fourth time visiting this restaurant. Every time we dine it’s a delicious experience ! The sushi is fresh and creative I especially liked the yummy roll we also enjoy dining at the grill where the chef prepares your meal before your eyes.

This is my go to sushi spot. I’m there almost every time for ladies night Thursday and some call in orders if I don’t want to cook… My favorite rolls have become the summer breeze, mad max, Kathleen, bayridge and volcano… They are all pretty good. It adds quickly so a vip rewards membership will be great to get discounts bc I go so often.

One of our favorite places in Orlando! Me and the kids love the Hibachi grill, my wife loves the sushi. They have great weekly specials so there are great values daily. The meat selections, the veggies, and fried rice, all delicious. Service has always been attentive and courteous for us. In fact, my kids are asking to go to the «fire place» again. I think we’ll be back this week.

Great attentiveness of staff and the cooking show in front of you is awesome. The food is fresh and a must, will definitely be returning.

Great customer service! Had a little issue with the food not being cooked to well. Nothing extreme, and the waiter had no questions and had a new plate sent out to us ASAP. We didn’t wait long at all.
The food was delicious! The service is amazing. The atmosphere is great. The cost is pretty good and you get A LOT of food for what you pay for. Left there so full.
Although I had a great experience I read that this place was closed down for health code violations. This is upsetting considering this place was great. I won’t be going back.

We have always loved the Bay Ridge Sushi in Longwood so we had to try this one… it’s much closer to home. Although we didn’t eat at them, the new hibachi grill is a great addition and we will definitely give them a try. The sushi was great and the service was pretty good. It could have been better, but can live with it. The edamame needed some additional seasoning, but a very good visit.

The 12.95 filet deal on Tuesdays can’t be beat. The chef is nontraditional but great in his own way.

John is the only reason I give this place one star.
He was a great hibachi cook. The soup was cold and salad was old and not fresh. I was ready to leave after the salad but I was with guest. I’ve been to hibachis all over the country and this was the worst

$ 3 sushi rolls tonight. Taking forever to get our food. We have been waiting for 45 minutes for our 4 rolls.
Inexcusable service. Even the bartenders seem overwhelmed by the 6 of us sitting here.
Ended up getting it to go. Not worth saving the money.

I love Bayridge but lately the service here has left little to be desired. The food is always great– just don’t go in expecting impeccable service, especially if you are rushed in anyway.

I just discovered this place a couple weeks ago from a coworker, and after one visit, it has become my new go-​to sushi place nearby!
It is located in the beautiful downtown Avalon Park area, so there are a lot of shops and parks to walk by and enjoy the views either before or after your meal.
Walking inside, you can immediately tell they put effort into making the place look nice. It is decorated with dark walls, highlighted with reds and blue with some Asian jade pieces here and there. Very nice atmosphere to eat in.
We were immediately greeted and seated at a booth. There was a TV above us which was great so we could catch the game that was on while eating, Don’t mistake this for a sports bar though. Far from it.
We came for happy hour which is everyday from 3pm-​6pm. I’ve got to say, there has been no better happy hour that I have ever been to. The sushi rolls were only 3 dollars. I was worried at first there would only be a few rolls to choose from, but I was surprised to find that there is a whole sheet of rolls that I could choose from! There was also cheap appetizers and sashimi/​nigiri as well.
We ordered about 10 rolls/​nigiri. It was crazy. The rolls came out relatively quickly for how busy it was, and they were perfect. The spicy salmon and tuna were so stuffed with fish that it was more than worth the money. The other rolls we ordered were similarly satisfying. Somehow we managed to finish all our roll, and we were back within the week for more. Highly recommended.

Cons: The restaurant was so dark I could hardly see my menu. The tv was blocked by a light fixture. The service was slow and the waiter never refilled our drinks. The food was bland and tasted processed. I heard yelling coming from the kitchen.
Pros: None

Bay ridge is great for all their cooked foods and hibachi. Check out their daily specials for a great deal on hibachi meals and happy hour. I am not a fan of their sushi. It does not seem very fresh and has a preservative after taste.
My recommendations for cooked foods would be the nabe yaki udon soup! This has been my favorite so far.
I ordered hot tea and even though the tea kettle is very cute, it is very heavy and not very practical for restaurant use. I also felt like the tea glasses had a wet rag smell to it. Like it was cleaned or dried well.
For drinks, they have a full bar. I would recommend the nigori (unfiltered) sake, not all places carry this so I try to get it here when I go there. Not too bad of a place. It had it’s strengths and weaknesses and just have to pick the right cooked items when you go.

It’s nice inside. Location was easy to get to, and they feature some pretty awesome dinner and drink specials that are inviting to anyone walking by.
Sushi and rolls selection was pretty solid, and service was pleasant. What could have made this place better?
Offering brown rice as a substitute in their rolls would have been fantastic! Trying to eat somewhat healthy can be challenging, and I truly wanted to try their rolls, but rather, I opted for the protein route.
We ordered the sashimi special and were hoping that we would score big on the sushi offerings. 5 of the 9 were super delicious. Yay!
We also ordered the Grilled Sea Bass and Red Snapper (cooked) from the appetizer menu, and they weren’t too bad. Lacking on the flavor with the sea bass, and a bit heavy on the sauce with the snapper, but not bad.
The Tuna Kobachi wasn’t bad as well, but I’ve never had it with spicy mayo before. Wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t the traditional dish I was looking for either.
Out of all of the mediocre dishes, the saving dish was the Yellowtail sashimi, topped with a slivered piece of jalapeño, srirachi sauce, and soaked in ponzu sauce. Very nice.
Overall I’d come back again if I’m in the neighborhood. :)

This place was AMAZING!
I bought a Living Social deal for here and as we were driving over, my wife looked at the reviews. We were a little hesitant after reading them, but found that our experience had nothing negative to report. In fact, it was GREAT!
My wife and I were seated at a table upon arrival and we had only a short wait before others arrived. I ordered a Sahara Roll as an appetizer and it was AMAZING. I highly recommend that. Our order was cooked in front of us and the chef did a pretty great job. The portions were large and everything was delicious. After dinner, there were a few extra pieces of chicken left. The chef took turns tossing pieces into each of our mouths. Then he had some Sprite in a squeeze bottle and squeezed Spite into mouths across the hibachi grill too. Not a drop went anywhere but in our mouths!
Fun times all around!
