Sushi Burrito
Sushi is getting rolled into a handheld experience as a burrito now. Sushi
lovers will find all the fixings — protein, vegetables, sauces, etc. — all in a
wrap.
Go handheld at Foodoko (inside Lake Nona Veterans Affairs Medical
Center, 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando) , which wraps its sushi burritos
($8.49) in seaweed. Or, head to Sus Hi Eatstation (380 S. State Road 434, No.
1004, Altamonte Springs or 4498 N. Alafaya Trail, No. 324, Orlando), which
uses a flour tortilla (prices vary).

Sushi burritos have come to Orlando's Lake Nona district at the new Foodoko restaurant.
Yum Yum Asian Cafe founder Steve Kuo and chef Wei Hao Chen partnered for the sushi restaurant.
It opened Tuesday on the ground floor of the Lake Nona Veteran Affairs Medical Center.
Creative sushi options and South Pacific dish called poké are a fast-growing part of the restaurant world, with sushi bowls and burritos taking off. Poké is similar to ceviche, where fish is marinated in citrus juices.

We've been touting the Gengi Sushi counter at the new Winter Park Whole Foods, opening tomorrow, but BAM! New local quick-stop Foodoko just jumped up and and stole Gengi's sushi-burrito thunder.
Founded by chefs Steve Kuo (of Orlando's Yum Yum Asia Cafe) and Wei Hao Chen, Foodoko opened today in the Lake Nona Veteran Affairs Medical Center. Though it's inside the hospital, it's open to the public 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
