We’ve got plenty of high-end omakase experiences here in Orlando — Kabooki Sushi, Kadence, Soseki, Tukumi-Tei, Sushi Pop, to name just a few — but when Soupa Saiyan 3 opens near UCF this fall, they’ll offer a casual omakase amid anime surroundings.
Soupakase, a sub-concept within the Dragon Ball Z-themed noodle house, will offer the multi-course meal featuring seasonal Japanese fish for under $100 at the sushi bar. The meal will also be relatively “quick,” with dinner seatings taking place every hour.
[content-3]Marshall Phanthachit and Joy Nguyen opened the first Soupa Saiyan on Vineland Road near Universal Studios five years ago and it quickly became a destination shrine to the popular Japanese animation and manga franchise.
With the help of restaurateurs Johnny and Jimmy Tung, the couple opened a second Soupa Saiyan in Jacksonville two years ago.
Soupa Saiyan 3 will take over the space vacated earlier this year by Taco Bus at 11325 University Blvd. and will bring signature and build-your-own noodle soup bowls to the UCF corridor. It will be the only one of the three locations to offer the omakase experience.
