“Cori our server was the bomb! Service, food and friendship = fun! We will be back! Signed Dixie Chicks'!“

“Super tasty pho!!! They have special bone marrow beef soup that no place around have. Love it“

“It's alright. The flavors are a bit off but overall edible

Update. Flavours have been uprising and a great local spot to come have sushi. Got the miso soup 10/10, the Naruto roll I believe, it has no ice and was delicious and healthy 10/10 and the fried calamari. I wasn't too happy Abt it since it looks kinda raw in some areas of the octopus? I didn't know if I could eat it and mostly ate the tentacles“

“Great noodles, excellent rolls at a great price!“

“I’ve been eating sushi FOREVER. I’m SO picky. This place DID NOT disappoint at all. So beautifully plated, and even more delicious. I highly recommend the Spicy Tuna Martini.“

“I just went for my birthday with a friend. The servers and chef were all attentive and friendly. I got the hibachi chicken and shrimp meal. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I really appreciated that they didn’t make us join another group. The decor is so cool and pretty. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion. There’s also a regular dining area that looks like a good date spot. I’ll definitely go back!“

“We ate there last night with my daughter and some families. I find this place very nice and friendly environment. The food was freshly made right in front of us which the chef was awesome. The waiter we had there was very nice. I would recommend this to all my friends and family“

“Fantastic food and wonderful customer services. Great prices and great staff! We will be back for sure! Thank you for the great service and Food!!!“

“I enjoyed my dinner experience at Ichiban Izakaya restaurant. This hidden gem is located nearby to downtown St. Pete.

The sashimi was very fresh and sushi rolls were delicious. My favorite was the sweet shrimp nigiri.

There’s interior dining and I love the Japanese themed decor. Service was friendly and welcoming.

I will definitely be back! Also, check out their happy hour and lunch specials. Plenty of lot parking available.“

“some of the best sushi I've ever had!“

“First time trying Shiso, Samuel was very nice & answered all my questions. The decor is super cute & I love the indoor/outdoor options. The food was pretty good & they had some vegan options. W shiso. I got the garlic chive Rangoon which was 10/10 & the garlic chili mandu dumplings. I’ve never had mandu before it was kinda odd tasting but not in a bad way. I’ll be back for sure“

“First time at this DTSP restaurant. The service was on point. The food which included appetizers and sushi was fresh and presented beautifully. I will be returning.“

“We love Mori Sushi, it’s our tried and true place for a quick, dependable, and consistent bite to eat. They have great lunch specials, and their sushi is always delicious. The man and woman behind the counter are always quick to seat you, and work so hard to make sure you have a fantastic meal. I would gatekeep this place, but the owners deserve all the business St. Pete has to offer.“

“All around great time, great food, great drinks and amazing service. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Good food portions, reasonably priced. Labeled Japanese but closer to Chinese? Doesn’t have all your traditional Chinese menu items but then also has sushi rolls. A little different spin on some things but in a positive way. Definitely recommend. And order ahead and use the drive thru for pick up, so nice!“
