First visit to Seito Sushi but not our last. Amazing, expertly prepared food with flavors to match. The freshest sashimi we have ever experienced. Honestly tasted as if it had just come out of the ocean. The service from all the staff was welcoming, professional and very patient. Jeremy took care of our table tonight which included my extended family. Not an easy task but Jeremy was courteous, humorous and very attentive. Definitely knows the menu which helped. This experience definitely deserves five stars. If you feel adventurous and enjoy delicate flavors this is for you

We stumbled upon this place over a month ago after an exhausting day at Universal. We knew right away we were going back when we came at Christmas time. Had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone loved their meals! NY strip, salmon, fettuccini Alfredo, chicken Marsala and my all time favorites were the butternut squash ravioli & bruschetta. Also had the same server both times. Excellent!
