Went to this place because my husband was craving sushi and I ramen and this place had good reviews. The atmosphere and service were excellent… that’s about it. We ordered the fried calamari to start, it seemed like was taken out of a frozen bag and deep fried. My husband got a fancy sushi which he was not really impressed by… and I got the Kanji ramen which lacked umami and over all flavor. The thing about this place is… they serve you the food in fancy dishes and nice napkins and beautiful presentation but the actual food lacks. They over charge because of that reason so we ended up paying for presentation and not really being satisfied with the actual food.

Great place with lovely decorations and ambiance. The menu is very ample, they offer plenty of varieties of Asian food. The food, drinks and dessert were delicious and fresh. I recommend this place!

We had a great experience! The service was great, kind staff, and clean establishment. I am always hesitant on sushi as I just stated really getting into it a few years ago and this was one of the best places I’ve come across so far in the Tampa area. The Mexican and dynamite roll were outstanding! Highly recommend and will deffiently be back!

Every review we read before coming here was spot on. And we’re happy to add to them. We love trying new ramen places and my husband said this is the best tonkatsu he’s had since he left Japan. I loved the pork bao bun and the ika salad was by and large my favorite side dish. The mango mango was delicious, though not as tart as I expected it to be. The chocolate mousse however has no notes. Come hungry especially if you get the set meal. You will not leave disappointed. Hoping to be back soon to try their sushi as well!

We chose Kanji because it offered sushi and ramen which they do both very well. The peach drink was amazing and would even better with a shot of vodka. The appetizer was tasty but expensive. My two specialty rolls (Sexy and Fireworks) were very good. This was a late Sunday lunch around 3:30pm. Will try a Fri or Sat night next.

I love this place! It’s my favorite sushi restaurant in the area. Their rolls are always fresh and they have a good variety. I normally go for their sushi, but their ramen is great as well. The place gets busy but they have good service. The interior design is nice too.
Sushi was great! But beware, if you get the steak they will cook it all the way done unless you specify otherwise. Again, sushi was great!

Sushi was good and a good quality. Kids loved the fried rice with chicken. Only issue that we experienced was with the “ kanji roll” it advertises the roll as “Topped with tuna, salmon, yellowtail, tobiko, kani & tempura flakes” when the roll came out the only thing on top was imitation crab and tempura flakes. Told the manager about the issue, she took it to the sushi bar and the sushi bar supposedly said that they finally cut strips that were on top where a combination of “ Tuna, salmon, yellow tail and tobiko” and all my experience eating sushi (over the last 20 years) I’ve never seen that combination of fish cut the exact same way as imitation crab. So if you order a roll, just inspect it carefully and make sure you get what you are paying for. See pictures.

My family and I love everything about this place. We lived in Japan for three years and love Japanese food. The ramen at Kanji is the closet I’ve tasted to the ramen in Japan. Yum!
