Zukku-San, the elevated sushi restaurant by Ferdian Jap and chef Gia Tran, is opening a location in Orlando.
The restaurant will open a second restaurant at Pointe Orlando, a dining, retail, and entertainment complex that calls itself, “playtime for grownups, with or without the kids”. The restaurant will open at 9101 International Drive by March 2026, according to Jap. The restaurateurs also own sushi bar Zukku and Ato, a restaurant specializing in fresh poke bowls and sushi burritos.
Zukku means “canvas” in Japanese, with “san” being a term of respect. The menu at Zukku-San treats food as art. The decor is inspired by water and koi, and a selection of unique rolls is a high point of dining there. Examples include the Lobster Masterpiece that incorporates a fried whole lobster tail into the roll alongside spicy tuna, crab mix, asparagus, and avocado; and the Zukku Roll with tempura shrimp, cucumber, crab mix, salmon, lemon slices, and spicy mayo. The restaurant also offers classic rolls, hand rolls, and even a kids’ menu for the littlest culinarians.
When it opens, Zukku-San will join other high profile restaurants such as the Palm Tree Club, The Capital Grille, Taffer’s Tavern, Taverna Opa, and The Hampton Social.
