The lychee martini was amazing and so were the pork boa buns, 2 best things on the menu by far

I'm gluten-free and was so impressed with how many options they had! I got to try sushi I've never had before—like the torched hamachi and ahi tuna with spicy salmon—and it was absolutely delicious. They even had gluten-free soy sauce, which was such a nice touch. The staff was super friendly to both us and our dog, and they were offering tastings of a Japanese seltzer I'd never tried before (and really enjoyed). The atmosphere was fun, very allergy-friendly, and the sushi presentation was beautiful. We'll definitely be back! 🩵

Good place downtown Tampa, very close to the Tampa Theatre. Nice ambiance. Good food and service, but significantly overpriced compared to other similar restaurants.

We will give it another try. But our octopus was hard to chew. Our entree was over loaded with curry sauce
Michelle
I had two amazing servers last night. The drinks were amazing and the food was immaculate. I'll definitely be back soon.

I loved the decor. The food was okay, the best thing out of the four meals we ordered was the noodles with chicken. That was delicious. The short ribs didn't have much flavor and the sushi roll we tried wasn't anything spectacular. I'd go back for the noodles!

Terrible from start to finish. Waited 25 minutes at hostess stand without anyone coming to help. Ended up seating myself and waiting another 15 minutes for a waitress to help. Food is terrible - they even forgot the egg as a part of my ramen and brought me a frozen egg when I mentioned the missing item which was disgusting. Octopus is so tough and chewy. Terribly cooked from frozen. Mango sticky rice is absolutely horrendous. Nothing like what you expect. Temperature is terrible - they don't use A/C so it's incredibly hot and humid in restaurant. Avoid this place at all costs.

Very nice dinner. Our reservation was earlier in the evening, so it was a quiet dinner with great food and service. Tried the US Wagyu vs Japan Wagyu. Both were flavorful and juicy. One's texture was more filet than ribeye, and was the winner. You figure that out 😁

Try the lobster ramen. You won't be disappointed. Also loved the tuna app. Kids enjoyed California roll and chicken fingers. Service was excellent and intuitive. Will return

Decorated in a bit of a random fashion. It kinda seems like they went to Ross and bought those random items there's only 1 of and paired it all together. Food tasted fine but very overpriced. Eel roll was tasty, steak kabob had good flavor just over cooked, chicken ramen had a horrible taste. Pork dumplings was good.
I am a purest who like authentic Japanese. everything had peppers, chilies, etc so really more like Mexican Would not go back

Everything was great, just wish the server told us the kitchen was closing so we could've ordered dessert, but she was very nice.

Good food for the most part but the service was lacking a bit. We had to ask for small app plates after getting our appetizers & also had to ask for soy sauce. They only had ramekins which are not ideal for dipping sushi in. The volcano roll wasn't as good as I remember & the mango sticky rice was very disappointing. Not flavorful but if you've never had mango sticky rice before you probably wouldn't know it was bad. The Staff gave us the wrong dessert & then charged us for it. After telling them, the waitress asked if we wanted to take it to-go instead of removing it lol. We said no & then they gave us a new receipt that wasn't itemized that had the same price as before with the extra dessert we didn't order. So we had to go back and ask them again to please remove the dessert we didn't order. This whole process was very annoying & we didn't like being in the separate dining room. It felt as if we were being secluded. Normally I wouldn't mind as much but I took my parents here & spoke highly of it so it was disappointing.

Food and service was excellent. Everything was amazing. They had started a new menu and our wonderful server, Sam, was so lovely and helpful. We had the shishito peppers, Volcano roll and Chicken Ramen. For dessert we had the mochi and donuts. We didn't realize the mochi came with double portions so its a great dessert for two!

What a great evening! We ordered the Dragon Boat & thoroughly enjoyed it! Everything was so yummy with a beautiful presentation! Service was great as well and it made everything taste better!
