Best bet is it’s a Roy’s styles Japanese fusion steakhouse that has a little bit of everything

Umm you don’t want to eat the farm fish they are “growing” at all let alone raw.

I'm curious about this...what do you know about the quality?

Umm you don’t want to eat the farm fish they are “growing” at all let alone raw. Plus doubt there’s tuna onsite.

This is Orlando, FLORIDA. It's about 40 minutes from the Atlantic ocean and only 80 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. They can get all the fresh ocean fish they want pretty quickly and reliably.

What kind of raw fish you think were eating from the gulf?

All the raw fish in the Gulf were eating from the Gulf.

As for what I might have eaten from the Gulf, I expect I've eaten mackerel & red snapper, although I'm not concerned about sourcing at WDW and really don't care whether it's from the Gulf or the Atlantic. Or from the Pacific, for that matter, as long as it's been safely handled.

They have fish in the Land pavilion, that's pretty local! (I'm not saying they use it for sushi, just saying they DO have local fish!)

Or even closer, walk right out the door and throw a line in the lake.... lots of bass. But seriously no sushi is made from farmed fish. Farmed fish is known to be dirty and parasite infested.... plus fresh water fish rarely have the right texture or flavor to stand out as sushi.

Guess I didn’t catch this thread the first time around...but it would be nice if new attractions were built instead of n(th) restaurant. Your $100/day ticket just gets you access to buying overpriced food and merchandise, not entertainment.

That would nice of course and maybe their are some proposals. We can only hope but at the same time people love to shop and eat especially at Epcot.

Wonder if they'll find an old Japanese restaurant while excavating........

If they keep digging much deeper, they're gonna open a seafood restaurant.

This one is so much further behind than the Space one. I thought both where to open in 2019?

I am assuming this one is using a part of the existing pavilion with only a small amount of new construction. The are a that has been cleared doesn't look like enough room for a new restaurant.
