The City Beautiful\u2019s restaurant landscape is changing every day, but what stays the same is the very loud voices of Orlando foodies (both out loud and on Yelp). This year\u2019s seen the openings of brand-new spots representing plenty of cuisines \u2014 Asian food halls, inexpensive tacos, Hawaiian diners, steakhouses and more. Here\u2019s a list of the 20 highest Yelp-rated new Orlando restaurants.<\/p>\n

\"\"Southern Fowl<\/a>
3801 Avalon Park E. Boulevard, Orlando
\u201cGrowing up in south Florida there was a place called uncle Al\u2019s that had a giant wings. We used to call then pterodactyl wings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent\u202620-30 years looking for a large wing ever since. And now I have found it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd my gosh were these great and tasty too. Just amazing bbq sauce with a great crisp to the wings, seriously so delicious and such friendly staff.\u201d \u2014 Jordan O. Credit: Southern Fowl\/Facebook<\/p>\n

\"\"Brazilian Bistro
<\/a>280 S. State Road 434, Altamonte Springs
\u201cThis was our first time at Brazilian Bistro, and what a delicious surprise! It took a little while to find this hidden gem, but it was well worth it. Our waitress Daniela was incredibly attentive, making us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down.\u201d \u2014 Yvette P. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n

\"\"Sushi Izuki
<\/a>8685 Fenton St., Orlando
\u201cOmakase experience that I will always come back to! The food was very fresh, delicious, pretty and def an experience within itself. The service was top notch. Every server\/busser kept making sure our plates were rotating accordingly, that we always had drinks and above all.. extremely eloquent and polite.\u201d \u2014 Luciana B.

\"\"Dolce and Bake Cafe<\/a>
8143 S. John Young Parkway, Orlando
\u201cFirst time at Dolce. New, very small, Venezuelan cafe in the Walmart strip center. The atmosphere is simple but nice. Limited seating; one 4 person table and a few other 2 person. There are also a couple outdoor tables. Varied European soft easy listening music may make one think they are at a French cafe. The baked goods displayed looked excellent looked fresh and excellent. I had the French Toast \u2013 brioche bread served with eggs, bacon and accompanied by syrup, cream cheese & butter. The toast was large and as expected. The eggs were slightly salted. The bacon although soft was excellent, I also had a large Latte; just right, not too weak or strong. The staff (I believe the owners) were very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back. I wish them the best.\u201d \u2014 David P.

\"\"Jeff\u2019s Bagel Run
<\/a>2107 E. Semoran Boulevard, Apopka
\u201cRosemary and salt bagel. That\u2019s it. That\u2019s the whole review. Whoever came up with this combination has my undying love. This bagel is reason to get out of bed in the morning. I go to sleep excited to think I might get one in the morning. My only request: change the chive and onion cream cheese. No one wants huge chunks of red onion. Keep the chives. Add a little dill and I will die a happy woman!\u201d \u2014 Kelli L. Credit: Jeff’s Bagel Run\/Facebook<\/p>\n

\"\"Mis Antojitos Street Food
<\/a>1113 W. State Road 436, Altamonte Springs
\u201cNowhere can you find tacos for $1.50 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and they\u2019re actually good. I\u2019ve been coming for a few weeks now. This is my regular spot. Glad I found this place.\u201d \u2014 DeJuan B.

\"\"Moa Kai
<\/a>2217 E. Colonial Drive, Orlando
\u201cGreat Hawaiian food, fun diner aesthetic, and snappy service make Moa Kai a welcome addition to the Orlando food scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came for lunch on a weekend and were promptly sat at a table. They also have a good bit of bar-style seating that I believe is first come first serve as well as an actual small cocktail bar area in the back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ordered the garlic butter shrimp with rice and macaroni salad. Everything was delicious and the portion was so generous that I took half home for lunch the next day.\u201d \u2014 Tom M. Credit: Matt Keller Lehman<\/p>\n

\"\"Quesa Loco
<\/a>971 W. Fairbanks Ave., Orlando
\u201cAmazing Birria, friendly service, and plenty of seating.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like Birria, this is your spot! Tacos, pizzas, quesadillas and more! They have beer bot not liquor although they have wine based margaritas and lots of other non alcoholic drinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe staff is always super friendly and you can also order online.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you like good Mexican, especially Birria, definitely check out Quesa Loco.\u201d \u2014 Todd S. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n

\"\"Mamazzita Gastrobar
<\/a>1949 W. Sand Lake Road, Orlando
\u201cWas surprised to find that this place wasn\u2019t on Yelp yet and had to look it up on Google. Trendy spot with hookah, fun drinks and great food. Churrasco was a large amount of meat, cooked well. Monfongo was delicious. Avocado salad was just right and the chimichurri was decent. Server was attentive enough for this slow night and got everything needed. Liked the gassy bubble blue Pina colada type drink \u2013 couldn\u2019t finish it because it was too sweet but enjoyed the presentation.\u201d \u2014 Kimberly K.

\"\"Arcade Time Entertainment
<\/a>6464 International Drive, Orlando
\u201cA 24-hour arcade? It\u2019s a great fit for International Drive, where people are looking for things to do at all times of the day after theme park play. The vibe is dark and techy, which is comfortable and fun. I attended an event where we had the opportunity to sample across the menu, and I really enjoyed the Power Pellet Sliders (burger sliders with colored buns), chicken wings, and popcorn chicken (served with real popcorn). The signature cocktails look very pretty with layers and colors, but I preferred to order off their excellent can selection. Shout out to fantastic, chatty bartenders! The arcade games run the gamut from the classics to modern ticket redemptions and claw machines, as well as private dart booths and automated duckpin bowling. Lots of fun!\u201d \u2014 Brian R.

\"\"Jala Indian Restaurant
<\/a>155 E. Morse Blvd., Winter Park
\u201cIf flavor had a home address, it would be Jala Indian Cuisine in Winter Park,FL. From the moment we walked in, the aroma alone had me ready to move in permanently. Every dish that hit our table was a masterclass in spices! Not just heat for the sake of heat, but layers of rich, aromatic flavor that danced on every bite. You could taste the love in the curry, the confidence in the masala, and the absolute swagger in the chutneys.\u201d \u2014 Christopher P. Credit: Photo via Jala Winter Park\/Instagram<\/p>\n

\"\"Grain and Berry
<\/a>8145 International Drive, Orlando
\u201cGrain and Berry was super clean inside and had so many options for healthy food like yogurt bowls, a\u00e7a\u00ed, quesadillas, flatbreads, toasts, smoothies, and juices. The menu was really customizable, which I loved.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a quesadilla with vegan mozzarella and a broccoli crust (never seen that before!) and it came out hot and fresh. The cheese was super melty with a good pull, and the plant-based sausage was actually really good. They gave four big pieces, and I could barely finish it. The crust was more like a flatbread, really crunchy and seasoned well.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrices were reasonable too and service was quick. Definitely a great spot if you\u2019re trying to eat something clean but still want it to taste good.\u201d \u2014 Helen N. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n

\"\"Pie Fection
<\/a>13211 Reams Road, Suite 108, Windermere
\u201cOh my goodness. Best pizza we\u2019ve ever eaten. My wife had the shrimp pizza and I had the stroganov. What we loved the most is they could do both toppings on the same crust and the charges were \u201cprorated\u201d and not charged for two full pizzas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso Pedro our server was excellent, friendly and went above and beyond for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur only critic is the music was way too loud meaning it was hard to hear the hosts. And that was a little awkward.\u201d \u2014 Andy J. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n

\"\"Hong Kong Kitchen
<\/a>3096 Aloma Ave., Winter Park
\u201cWe\u2019ve now been here twice and I\u2019m going to say this is some of the best Chinese cuisine in all of Orlando. Very unassuming both outside and inside, but the preparation of our meals hasn\u2019t been outstanding.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time here we basically did a Dim Sum by ordering the small plates on the back of the menu. Everything was outstanding. Unfortunately I don\u2019t have the photos but man it was all so good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second time my wife got a salt and pepper tofu that is unlike anything we\u2019ve ever had. Fried so light and airy with incredible seasoning. Sweet and sour shrimp probably the best version of that I\u2019ve ever had.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a fan of Asian cuisine, Hong Kong Kitchen is worth a visit.\u201d \u2014 Walter B. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n

\"\"Corner Chophouse
<\/a>558 W. New England Ave., Winter Park
\u201cWe had dinner at Corner Chophouse a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. The service, food, and atmosphere were great and I might add that it\u2019s a bit more in-theme for the location than PAT was. I love the old New York vibe it has and the music. While the prices are a bit steep, I would definitely recommend checking it out for a special occasion or if you\u2019re willing to spend a little bit extra for a nice meal and steaks. I got my filet butterflyed and they did it perfectly. We are definitely coming back but most likely for a special occasion as the prices are a little steep, but great service and food overall. Oh, and don\u2019t miss out on the dessert cart! You\u2019ll see it rolling around the restaurant with some incredible desserts like cheesecakes and such. So save some room for dessert!\u201d \u2014 Gabe M. Credit: Corner Chophouse<\/p>\n

\"\"Deeply Cafe and Bottle Shop
<\/a>12639 W. Colonial Drive, Winter Garden
\u201cLove the new Deeply location in Winter Garden! It\u2019s much smaller inside, but still has a clean, minimalistic, and even a bit cozier vibe. They\u2019re serving both their coffee & food menu at this location as well (don\u2019t miss their breakfast sandwich).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ordered 2 of their seasonal beverages \u2014 the lemon meringue iced latte and the dreamsicle matcha latte. Both drinks were amazing and perfect for summer! I especially loved the meringue cold foam with lemon zest \u2013 so refreshing.\u201d \u2014 Anna L. Credit: Deeply\/Instagram<\/p>\n

\"\"H Mart
<\/a>7501 W. Colonial Drive, Pine Hills
\u201cH-Mart is a Huge Korean market. The Produce section, Seafood and Sauces are the highlight of my visit. The produce and seafood are fresh and inviting. I was able to stock up on all my sauces and Sojus that i was looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restaurant section offer a wide variety as well. I recommend going during the week to avoid the crowed of people which makes it difficult to find a seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tried the bulgogi Ramen and Udon Stir Fry at U Chun and it was a 5\/5.\u201d \u2014 Austin C. Credit: H Mart<\/p>\n

\"\"Shaka Donuts
<\/a>2641 Curry Ford Road, Orlando
\u201cNice area, not too busy and a couple of other very good hang outs on the same block. Donuts are all lights out. Huge donuts, fluffy. Tons of filing in the filled donuts. Blueberry cake donut is a must try. They even have a few beers on tap. I could hang out here all day drinking beer and eating donuts and I would start with a breakfast sandwich made from donuts. If I lived closer I would be much fatter than I already am.\u201d \u2014 Sounder A.

\"\"Daniel Gabor\u2019s Alpine Bar & Grill<\/a>
1568 Maguire Road, Ocoee
\u201cWas in for dinner on 12\/4 and was excited to try some of the items. We decided to share the mushroom risotto and the new beef burger. The risotto was delicious and more mushroom than rice \u2013 which is totally what I prefer. Lots of great flavors!\u201d \u2014 Aimee B. Credit: Daniel Gabor’s Alpine Bar & Grill\/Facebook<\/p>\n

\"\"Outpost Neighborhood Tavern<\/a>
227 N. Eola Drive, Orlando
\u201cThis has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat and drink at in Orlando!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis southern-style eatery has TONS of flavorful options on their menu. Everything I\u2019ve tried has been delicious \u2013 the Mac&cheese, chicken sando, whipped feta\u2026 it\u2019s all delish! The only thing I want a fan of were the wings, but seriously everything else is incredible.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow the drinks?! Top notch. They really put a lot of effort into curating their cocktail menu! Completely underrated in my humble opinion.\u201d \u2014 Brittany M. Credit: Google Maps<\/p>\n
