Yelp.com Review - by Moni M.

4.0 of 5 stars. This was the first place I ever sampled sushi. And the way I acted like it was plague on the plate. But my server was quite nice about it, and the owner was there to soothe my anxiety. But I will say...

2.0 of 5 stars. I know a lot of people really enjoy Amura, and I'll admit it isn't too shabby. The rolls are a little gimicky (more so than other places, anyways), and are huge. While this is a plus to many, I'd...

4.0 of 5 stars. when i lived in the area, this was a favorite of my roommates and myself. the service isn't awesome, and place isn't pretty, but I'm pretty sure that eating a Mexican roll will change your life.

Best Quality Sushi in Orlando! by Jerry P. at InsiderPages

Great for lunch, dinner is for sushi lovers

Lunch at Amura is great - tons of options for sushi and non-sushi fans and the prices are great. Dinner offers very limited options for non-sushi fans and they are very expensive for what you get.

Expensive, but good for special occasions

The sushi is very fresh, and if you go during lunch time you can order off the sushi/sashimi slip & get something delicious like the atom bomb, godzilla or volcano roll.

ALWAYS the best in town

I have been going to Amuras for at least ten years,(even before they had to change their name from Samurai).Get it. Drop the S and I. The sushi is by far the best in town,hands down.I have eaten at just about every other so called sushi bars around,and noone comes close to their quality and presentation. It may be difficult to find a parking spot, but once you do, it,s worth it!!
