10 Best Japanese Restaurants in Clearwater

“Seriously the best sushi in the area! We have been impressed by every thing we have tried. The atmosphere is small and quaint, which is what I prefer with a sushi joint. Give it a try if you haven’t been!“

“We like this place.

I'm keeping track of what I like and don't like here:

Orange chicken very good.
BBQ rib appetizers good. Sticky!!

3/22/26 Thai peanut salad with thinly sliced roasted chicken. Very good. Refreshing and satisfying.

4/21/25. Got the sesame chicken today for first time, it was ok but pretty sweet and sticky.“

“Great price. Very delicious and fresh! I got the Tampa and Spicy Salmon roll.“

“Trust me Charlie is the BEST❤️ you haven’t had sushi until you have had Charlie’s. I have been a loyal customer for many years.“

“The BEST SUSHI IN CLEARWATER. The prices are amazing and I crave their chicken fried rice daily. The sushi is incredibly fresh, whether it’s sashimi, sushi rolls, or dishes they are mouthwatering and pleasant always.
Not only that but I was devastated I placed a Uber Eats order and forgot my favorite/ miso soup. I called and asked if they were able to add miso soup and adjust my price accordingly but the nice lady on the phone informed me they could not. Which is expected it was my mistake. I received my order and then to my suprise there was a miso soup !! It was the perfect addition to my stressful day and they will ALWAYS get my service. Kind people are rare in this world but somehow Umai sushi is full of them. God bless. And try out this amazing place.“

“I went here with my mother-in-law and my husband's two little siblings during our vacation to Florida. The waitress, Audrey, was so sweet and cheerful. As someone who has worked in restaurant service for years, I know how hard that can be to do during a dinner rush. Most of the food was very high quality, especially for the price. The only thing that I would not recommend getting is the noodles, but that is a side dish/accompaniment anyway.“
