"Truly a gem in Orlando! Kadence offers omakase, sushi Togo on certain days, sake, and koala mama desserts! I've had their breakfast, lunch, and dinner omakase before.

24. Zenaida's Cafe in Las Vegas, Nevada

The Greens n' Things bowl and the Jam On It sandwich are BANGERS," wrote Yelp user Zoe G.

17. Ekiben in Baltimore, Maryland
"One of my favorite places to eat in Baltimore, hands down. Extremely tasty Asian fusion.

Great place to get food for guests from out of town, eat there or walk to the harbor and eat waterfront," wrote Yelp user Emily H.

10. Sababa Falafel Shop in Garden Grove, California
"I tried the Falafel Pita and it was super good. I had the employee load the veggies for me and everything was tasty and fresh. The falafel themselves taste very fresh and fluffy.

7. The Nook Cajun Cafe in Norco, California
"Went here today for lunch and the food was quite delicious!

5. Adela's Country Eatery in Kaneohe, Hawaii
