Excellent food, great service & cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed sushi rolls, sashimi, filet mignon and green tea ice cream. Open late!!

Very disappointing Sashimi dish. Fish was frozen, not fresh, cut sloppily into uneven tiny pieces. Stay away!

Frozen fish, long wait times, overpriced sushi, and disrespectful service. I'd recommend going literally anywhere else in Tampa.

BEST SUSHI IN TAMPA. This hidden gem is criminally underrated. As a self-proclaimed sushi snob, I have high standards—freshness, flavor balance, and presentation are non-negotiable. This place delivers every time. The atmosphere is inviting, the food is perfection, and the overall dining experience is easily a 10/10. Bonus: They have a sushi bar where you can watch the chefs work their magic right in front of you.

Great sushi that stands out from the usual bland stuff you get everywhere else. Lots of flavor, great price, and the building is cool too. Check them out!

Worst service I experienced in a long time. We ordered drinks and they never came after ask them over three times. We ended up canceling our drink order because we all were done eating our meals and still never received our drinks. But worst than that is our server and the whole staff look pissed and had horrible attitudes. Every time we ask for something they acted like we were bothering them. I guess that’s what you get when there is gratuity all ready add regardless on the service. We will not be recommending or return to this place.

Awesome place! Very trendy and classy. High vaulted ceilings in a remodeled historic Ybor building. Right in the middle of Ybor City. MAKE SURE you go upstairs to find it. Came here for dinner on a Thursday night and hardly anyone there. Atmosphere super relaxed. Our waitress gave us a 5 star restaurant service! Hamachi options available which is rare for a sushi spot on top of that it extremely fresh! The entire experience was exceptional! Thank you!

I don't even want to write a review because I'm worried other people will go there and then I'll have a harder time eating there because I'll have to share it with all of you. Lol. Sushi was excellent, and I can be a tough judge.
