“I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since Noble Rice opened and this was our very first visit! It absolutely blew us away. The service was impeccable. Hostess Angel greeted us warmly, and our server Allison A. was simply outstanding ~ easily one of the best experiences we’ve had anywhere in Tampa. We started with drinks, and every single one was perfect. The Lychee Martini was smooth and floral, the Espresso Martini had just the right kick, and the Haku ~ their version of a Moscow Mule ~ was phenomenal. My husband is a self-proclaimed Moscow Mule connoisseur, and he gave it high praise. The food? Next-level. The Tuna Carpaccio was the star of the show ~ literally melted in our mouths. We also loved the Classic Poké, Tempura Poké Rolls, and the Tekka Roll ~ all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented with different types of soy causes for each. The only item that didn’t quite hit the mark for us was the Hanabi Maki ~ still very fresh, just not our personal favorite. I’m sure many others enjoy it! What really stood out was the service ~ something that has unfortunately been on the decline across Tampa in recent years. But at Noble Rice, everyone went above and beyond. Allison didn’t just take our order, she asked thoughtful questions about our taste preferences, made drink and dessert recommendations (the Panna Cotta dessert was heavenly), and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Our only wish? Larger portions ~ because everything was so good, we didn’t want it to end. An amazing 18th anniversary dinner!! We’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Noble Rice, for making it so special.“

“Everything is so good!!!! We simply adore Sushi Ushi! They are the best in town!!“

“I have not been to the new location yet but will visit very soon. I have been coming to ichiban since i was 12-13 years old and i just rolled over to 38.it is the ONLY sushi spot i will go. The sushi is always amazing caroline makes dining inviting and enjoyable the atmosphere is always pleasant.“

“Kinjo is not just a restaurant, but a true experience. As soon as you walk in, the front of the house staff are warm and inviting which immediately sets the tone and puts you at ease. The restaurant itself is a very intimate feel which in my opinion is what makes it feel special and personal. Anywhere you sit will be great, however, I highly recommend sitting at the chef’s counter as it truly makes your dining experience feel that much more special. You can see how much intention was put into every dish from the starters to dessert. Every meal feels especially crafted for you and the intention behind the favor profile of each bite results in a transcendent dining experience. I truly enjoyed chef Jada and chef Javier taking the time to explain the dish to me, you can truly see their passion on each dish. It truly feels like you’re dining with friends. While the dishes are certainly upscale and elevated, the experience feels intimate and personal making each course better than the last. If I had to say my favorite dish; the crab pasta literally brought a tear to my eye, that’s how fantastic it is. Kinjo has brought something special to Tampa and I can’t wait to see all of the amazing dishes they create next.“

“The sweet potato roll is absolutely the best!!!“

“Chicken Teriyaki bowl was delicious! Best miso soup in Tampa, also the spicy edamame was the best I’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back:) they also sell Japanese cheesecake and I can’t wait to try it! Service was exceptional, Melissa helped us at the counter and we can’t want to visit again!“

“Very fresh and great service. Highly recommended.“

“the best tonkatsu ramen. As always, one of the best japanese food place I've been. I ordered take out as well. Great customer service.“

“Atmosphere is a mall, so no fault to their own but it's never going to be great except on Christmas days. Good though, that was exceptional. This is a fantastic spot for post workout meal, and they have a sick deal for teriyaki meals on Tuesdays. Service is as best as it can be I think. It was slow but only because they had an insane line of people. Outside of that, which good on them, the food is great. Will be back again.“

“This place is stupid good. I don't even know the name of what I ordered, it was one of the first things on there. Got it with grilled chicken and the layered pancakes. Make sure you get extra sauce on the side. Get a green tea. I've never been, but it felt like I popped into someplace in Tokyo and had some local food. You order everything by yourself on the screen as soon as you walk in, then they call your name when it's ready. Seating for about eight groups of people or so. Go there immediately.“

“.Don't judge my sushi with no rice. Eating low carbs. Me and Tabatha Valentin recommend this place it's tasty!! Our total was only $38 and that's w drinks and appetizer and a side salad for me. food and service was Great 👍“

“I finally was able to make it to Kosen for a special birthday dinner at the omakase counter. Hands down the best Japanese food I’ve had so far. Being within downtown Tampa makes it so easy to get to the restaurant and it’s in a great location.

The service throughout the 2 hour experience was incredible. Everyone was so knowledgeable and attentive. The wagyu was one of the first dishes and it was hard for anything to beat that, the meat was so tender I didn’t even know it was in my mouth. The flavor of the duck breast was out of this world, I wish I had more bites of both.

The nigiri experience was amazing, all the bites were great and the fresh wasabi and everything being made to order was a joy to watch. The akami tuna was the best and the quality of fish was pristine.

The brown butter ice cream with apple and parsnip was my favorite dish and ended the meal perfectly. This experience was definitely worth the price of admission and something you should try at least once. Thank you chef!“

“I would absolutely highly recommend this place. I've had this cafe saved in my Google maps for 2 years and finally I was able to try it and it was amazing,( I love 2 hours away), My fuwa fuwa pancakes were made delicately, the Taiyaki stuffed with perfection, and at the end my son told the lady he was going to pop and she said I'll make you pop and gave my son what seemed like fresh in-house made ice cream, I would 100% recommend this place to anybody, especially if you love authentic Japanese food, and they have sculptures that you can paint“

“This is one of my favorite sushi spots. The food is great and comes out relatively quickly, sometimes there is a bit of a wait depending on what day you go but that is usual. Their all you can eat option is the best in my opinion. They have a variety of other options if you do not enjoy sushi as well. -JL“

“Great and quick service. The sushi was super fresh and delicious. The salmon tore apart like butter. it was amazing. we had fresh homemade crab rangoons and they were amazing as well. it's a tiny place up on Nebraska Ave and well worth a visit!“

“such a fun place and great vibes! the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. the manager Khy (sorry if I misspelled!) was so accommodating as it began down pouring on us on the patio and swiftly relocated us inside. can’t wait to come back again and try more things! can’t recommend it enough!“

“Delicious food , nice atmosphere, decent price fast accurate service“

“Yabu and Alissa were fantastic. Great time with family. Food was excellent. Loved the whole experience. Will definitely ask for Yabu again!“

“The food and service are both fantastic!“

“On a whim stopped by to snag some sushi and it was decently surprised about how utterly delicious it was. The portions were stellar and flavors married together very nicely. We ordered to go and they had out 5 rolls ready in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend!!“

“We had an enjoyable night out at Samurai Blue. We started with the Blue Crab Rangoon, and it was very tasty. I ordered the sushi dinner, and it came with a nice variety of Nigiri. My wife ordered a few rolls and enjoyed them as well. The presentation was creative. The Caterpillar Roll comes with two eyes. The service was excellent and the vibe was relaxing.“

“The miso soup had alot of flavor, the ginger salad was good. The spicy tuna was the best I have ever had at 55 years.old I have eaten at many sushi spots, Japan and Italy also, so I no what tastes great. The chicken and noodles dish was very good. The spicy tuna was so yummy I took 2 orders home for snack and dinner. My new spot.“

“My first time there and the food and service were awesome! Everyone said hello with a smile and our waiter was very efficient and quick. Until I ate here there was only one oriental type restaurant I would eat at but this has changed my mind. We had the Black Dragon Roll, Hurricane Roll, Gyoza and the Crab Rangoon. It was Heaven! Love this restaurant and I will be back again!“

“We welcome sushi bowls by Kazoku to new Tampa. The food is phenomenal and I can’t get enough of it. The staff here are very professional. Sitting down getting ready to eat my crunchy Tuna Sushi. I Definitely recommend this place.“
