We have eaten at Kelp many times but last night ordered a large order through Uber Eats. One person out of the group got food poisoning all night from the rolls she ate. So so disappointed.

The food at this restaurant is truly delicious, and it has always been one of our favorites. In the past, the service used to be excellent as well, which made the experience even better.
However, during our last two visits, the service has not been the same. We usually call in advance to place our order, since we only go during our lunch break and like the food to be ready when we arrive, as we don’t have much time to eat. Lately though, the food has taken much longer, which forces us to either rush through the meal or take it to go.
Additionally, the staff has been a bit rude. We were told that preparing the food in advance was “an exception”…and that they wouldn’t continue doing that, even though it was something we had never had an issue with before.
Like what is the problem with that…you sell food I buy it …you have empty seats I go and eat…is that your business right?
When it came time to pay, they also made unnecessary comments.
We really enjoy the food and would love to keep coming, but we believe the service should go back to what it used to be: friendly, efficient, and professional.

While taking a break from U of Tampa move in weekend, we were looking for a place to eat after some shopping. Kelp came up. It was a lot an hour before they closed. Staff was very friendly and kind. Our server answered all of our questions and made accommodations when we asked. Good was delicious. Such a great selection of unique rolls. They put their own touch into their menu.
We will definitely return.

I came to Tampa to visit friends. We were getting hungry and they said sushi. This is their favorite place and they had to show it to me. Fable Tide was our collective favorite roll. The server was such a sweet kiddo too. He's apparently been there a long time and was very knowledgeable. Ill be back my next time in town. Thank you!!

Great service and looks good but my sushi roll was falling apart, rice wasn't sticking and honestly fish tasted bad, didnt even finish it. Maybe a bad night..

Their picnic box was delicious! Great spot to pick up sushi on the way home. The presentation of the rolls is very well done. There is a great fish to rice ratio and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely order from here again.

Everything was excellent. Very pretty presentation on the entrees as well as the rolls. I loved the sushi burger.
So good! The food was amazing and the portions were big, especially the tuna and wonton dip appetizer.

10/10 service, 10/10 food, came here alone and had the best experience!! The woman who greeted me was so kind and had amazing customer service skills, she accommodated me and my wants. My server Danny was awesome also!! As someone who doesn’t drink i absolutely loved your mocktails, the watermelon one was delicious. Im not from Tampa but if im ever in town again i will 100% visit again!!
