Rion’s Ocean Room East End Market, 3201 Corrine Drive, Orlando Sonny Nguyen, the man behind highly lauded ramen-ya Domu and kushiyaki house Tori Tori, is launching a new restaurant collective dubbed the Small Food Group that will unveil a two-in-one restaurant concept in three phases later this year. First up and open now is Rion’s Ocean Room, a casual seafood counter named after Nguyen’s first-born daughter, specializing in poke-by-the-pound similar to the poke joints found on Oahu. The second concept, Gyukatsu Rose, will introduce gyukatsu, or Japanese fried beef cutlets, to the masses at the end of the year. Credit: Photo by Rob Bartlett
