“What a great surprise everything I tried and I tried a lot was excellent. I will make a strong recommendation if you can get Leah as your server do it . She was absolutely great.Definitely a do again restaurantWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“I have had a few friends tell me good things about this place and I was equally impressed. This restaurant is very small and it's first come first serve as they do not take reservations. It has a nice contemporary japanese atmosphere. Our waitress, Emily, was lovely and extremely accommodating along with some excellent recommendations like the valentine roll.The sushi, folks, is some of the best I have had--and I eat sushi often and almost everywhere I travel. It's extremely fresh and they have some new bright ideas for rolls with contemporary presentations. Whatever you do, try the dragon balls -- a zany name for a delicious appetizer. Beer, wine as well as both hot and cold Saki are available. They also make some specialty drinks from Saki and wine. This is a do not miss if you are a sushi lover.“
“The food is great, specially the sashimi, they are alway fresh. The thai food is good too. I been here 3 times already and never been disappointed. Their lunch menu is different from weekend and week day FYI. We got potsticker, steam dumpling, 3 lunch dishes (those included miso and eggroll) and wonton soup. And try out their thaitea. For the area the prices are good.“
“5 STARS!!!!!! A must try place, especially love how everything is fresh when you go in. If you’re at the krates or craving a sweet treat or smoothie, I would definitely recommend going here! The staff is always so sweet and helpfulKid-friendliness: My kids love going here to get juice whenever we are at the Krates“

In the realm of such service, Angus reigns supreme at KobesFrom the moment we were seated at our table, Angus's humor and professionalism set the tone for what would be an unforgettable dining experience. His welcoming smile and genuine demeanor instantly put us at ease, making us feel like honored guests in his own home.What truly set Angus apart, however, was his attentiveness to every detail of our dining experience. He anticipated our needs before we even realized them ourselves, ensuring that our drinks were always replenished and our every request was met with a smile.But it was Angus's genuine passion for hospitality that left the most lasting impression. He didn't just serve food; he created memories. Angus's enthusiasm was infectious, enhancing our enjoyment of the meal tenfold.In a world where exceptional service is increasingly rare, Angus is a shining beacon of hospitality.

“We had been wanting to try this. It's a cute, small homey place. Most tables were full but we didn't have to wait to be seated. Service was very nice and food was good. With the dinner boxes, you get a decent amount of food for the price. Sushi fish tasted fresh. I would definitely go “
“My partner and I have been here multiple times and have brought friends here as well. We always have fantastic food. The pho, ramen, sushi, you literally can't go wrong. I wanted to write this review about our server last night. My friend and I had dinner. Our server was working the whole front half of the restaurant by himself. Bussing tables, serving tables, checking out to go orders, making sushi, serving drinks, answering the phone. He was literally doing most of this stuff by himself. He was exceptionally kind and even though we had to wait a little (we didn't mind) it was great service. Unfortunately some people walked out because they felt it wasn't fast enough but at no point did I feel it was unreasonable. You could also see he genuinely felt horrible these people left. Our patience was rewarded with great service and great food. Always remember to have a little patience with people. You never know the full story. You may only see a small glimpse of the work that is being done.“
“We found this gem yesterday (1/12/24) while on lunch. And we're happy we did. The crab Rangoons (pictured) were crispy n delicious, and the sushi was super fresh. Pictured are the Godzilla roll (by itself) and the rainbow roll / California roll. Not pictured is the meso soup. It was so good I was too busy eating it :)And thank you for exceptional service.“
“If I could give them a zero I would. My friend went there today and she was refused service because she has a skin disease called psoriasis. Shame on you all. You need to get educated the disease is not contagious I hope you and your ignorant staff learn some manners.“
“Very good option for all-you-can eat and traditional sit-down. Truly great service from the whole staff. Sushi is good on the all-you-can-eat eat menu but a little limited as you would expect. Entrees are exceptional though. Noodle dishes were banging. It's nice to finally have a place like this closeby. No need to go to Tampa anymore. PS. Very clean and well maintained bathtooms. LOLVegetarian options: They should certainly adapt for vegetarian. Very kind and attentive staff.Parking: Big commercial lot. Publix basically next door.Kid-friendliness: Overall casual and relaxed vibe. Kids welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible. Bathrooms are good size and private.“
“I took my mother out on her birthday on April 2nd to this place after a friend of mine suggested it, and my word, did it truly exceed our expectations.Let's start with the atmosphere first, it felt like you were walking straight into Japan, from a nice koi pond up front to its cultural themes all the way up to the tables themselves, the people there were also extremely friendly as well greeting you with open arms, it is a great mix of American and Japanese cuisines combined. You can tell this place truly respects its Japanese roots and we were all for it. The tables also gave you the opportunity to socialize and make new friends along the way which was a nice touch as it's not everyday you get to see such a layout like this.Let's move on to the waitress and the chef for the evening. Our waitress was Hailey and our chef was Steven. They were both excellent people to be around, Hailey's enthusiastic attitude really says a lot about offering great service as she really loves her job and she always brings a smile to people's faces. As for Chef Steven, he really blew us away with his cooking skills, he had a great sense of humor as he entertained us with hilarious food centric jokes as he was cooking our meals, you can tell he had a blast with his job from start to finish, that's how great of a chef he was, he and Hailey were by far the best parts of our experience.Now we move on to the food. We ordered the Kobe Combo and the Sumo Special, and boy were they scrumptious! Chef Steven's presentations of our meals didn't disappoint at all, they were very well cooked and perfected to the core to get that mouth-watering taste, all their food options are nice, but the Kobe Combo and the Sumo Special were by far the best options they had to offer.Finally, let's talk about what they do for birthdays. They put cute little chef hats on top of you as a nice gesture, after that, it follows with the waiters, chefs and even the restaurant owners playing drums and singing in both English and Japanese to spice things up, last but not least, they serve a wonderful little cupcake, if you want to celebrate your birthday at a Japanese restaurant, this is the place to go!In conclusion, I highly recommend this place from the bottom of my heart. We most definitely look forward to returning a second time pretty soon when we get the chance.“

“I just ordered some food here from doordash. I ordered the chicken and beef bao buns and i also tried their chicken kebab. I have to say this is verryyyyy good, i had to jp here and leave a review lol. One of the best Bao buns in the area for sure!! I hope they come out with more bao bun recipes, even if they’re just seasonal. 100% recommend ☺️ “
“Good service, pretty decent sushi. Very good stir fry, a little frustrating being quoted 30 minutes and it took over an hour for a seat though. I do understand thats not a perfect science, but it was way off and likely wouldn't have waited that long and went somewhere else so it set the tone on the wrong side of dinner.Overall would come back though, quality is at least there which you don't always find.“
“This was my second time here and it was amazing once again! I do not live in the area, so I'm not near it often, but it is definitely worth a stop for some sushi! The food is amazing. The location is great. And the overall wait time was fantastic to get food and our check and leave. I have a favorite sushi place by my place, far surpasses my really great one. Delicious! I wish I took a picture of our four rolls. Mmm mmm good!“

“Best restaurant in the Krates! Any time I spot by the Grove I cannot resist getting Ato. The food is always, fresh and fast. I love the kiosks for ordering and building my own bowl. Their signature creations are awesome as well. A must try and don’t skip the teriyaki mushrooms! They enhance every bite. ?“
“I've been coming to Bonsai for well over 20 years! Even before they moved to Wesley Chapel, and I've never had a complaint. The freshest and best sushi I've ever had hands down. I've had sushi all over the US and nothing tops this place!“
“Title: Sushi Avenue: A 12-Year Culinary Love AffairFor 12 years, Sushi Avenue has been my sushi sanctuary. With its fresh fare, impeccable service, and wallet-friendly prices, this spot in Tampa never disappoints. Whether you're a sushi veteran or a newcomer, it's a must-visit destination.“
“I got the scallops entree with veggies and brown rice. It was made very well and had tons of flavor. The entree came with a “salad” that consisted of hard, yellow chunks of iceberg lettuce hearts. You shouldn’t disrespect your customers, like that. You could’ve left that part out because it screams cheap and mediocre. Elevate or just don’t serve it with your opinion of a salad. Thanks.“
“I'm telling you, my first experience at that restaurant was absolutely incredible. I couldn't help but fall in love with the place and the staff. And don't even get me started on the food! Oh my goodness, it was beyond amazing. Trust me when I say, it is an absolute must-try. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. And as for me, I'll definitely be going back for more.“
“Traveling through Tampa. We liked everything overall. The waitress/hostess Lacey was absolutely wonderful! Crab ragoon wasn't crispy as we expected, but decent. Saturday special on sushi! Buy 1 get 1 half off. Fried rice- shrimp & veggie were delish. Minus the shrimp. Both rice & sushi shrimp was over cooked & rubbery. Honestly still enjoyed meals, would come back if we were traveling Tampa again. Lacey is 5 stars!“
“The Best Sushi-grill locations I have ever been to. Words cannot describe how fresh the food is. So delicious. You have a choice from a variety of different cooked or premium sushi rolls and amazing Hibachi meals. Everything on the menu is worthy. The service is magnificent. Very fast n friendly. We plan on returning again and again!“
“This place has never been a let down. The sushi deluxe and and sashimi deluxe hands down still my favorite! The quality and the taste are on point!Also Anna is always welcoming and has such a good energy, she makes the experience even better!“
“Food was good but the service we received was excellent! Our waitress was really nice and took good care of us and the food came out really fast. I would definitely recommend this place. We got here kind of early for dinner and the place was nice and clean and quiet.“
“we love this place and order at least once every 2 weeks. but I beg of you, please STOP putting the cold sushi on top of hot items in the same bag. The hot food basically cooks the food above it and it makes the sushi warm and not the ideal temp. otherwise we love the hibachi and sushi choices. We really do enjoy the place!“
“DEF MY GO TO! Me and my friend are regulars there.Ever since they were on fowler before they relocated . They open late until 2am and the staff is so patient. They are always juggling the dine in customers, along with the to go orders from all the delivery apps as well as walk in customers and they get it all done despite the chaos of it all. The food is amazing, the udon noodles are a must. Godzilla roll is 1 of my favs. Salmon skin salad too. The have dinner options for the sushi rolls as well. The prices are very reasonable.“
“This is a cute mom and pop sushi/Japanese restaurant. Inside is very clean and has secluded booths. They have the best crab rangoons! They have a lot of sushi options but ordering was a little confusing. The pricing was about the same as any other sushi restaurant.“
