I don’t even can believe how this place got 4.1 star when the service is the worst. First time in MY WHOLE LIFE that I get a bad service like they provided today and I don’t think I can’t get a worse one. I qualify the food poor because I couldn’t even taste the water. I went with my family because I’m visiting and for 40min nobody went to the table, they didn’t check on us and didn’t event provide water. I went 3 times to talk with the manager and she didn’t care at all. I said at least get water to the table and she said: ok, and then you see her doing something else. I took this act as a racism because I can see how they attended the table next to us but they never stopped to put water that’s basic. We can understand the place can get busy but education and politeness go first.

So, if you’re from different race or social group I don’t recommend this place at all because what matters for them it’s just American people.

Our friends recommended this spot for sushi, so we wanted to give it a try. It was very good and did not disappoint!
Service was great, the server was very friendly and patient. The menu is pretty large, so there is something for everyone. The sushi is pretty average priced compared to everything else in the area.
There were no complaints are our table, everything was delicious and extremely filling.
They also have a full bar menu with some tasty drinks. The sangria was amazing and in a very large glass!
We have ordered a delivery as well and were also very pleased with our order. It was packaged well, still fresh, and included everything we asked for. The only thing I would not order again is the crab Rangoons. Although they were tasty, there was not much filling in them and they were pretty soft.
Other than that, I have no complaints and will definitely be returning!

Cooks/ sushi guys were talking and laughing over the food while making it using no face mask or hand washing not even hair nets. One cook was coughing and did not cover his mouth, my server nikki wiped her face and nose with her bare hands and proceeds preparing food for takeouts. I Waited 30 minutes for food after ordering it over the phone. Upon arriving home, went to take sushi out the bag I spotted a live roach 🪳 on my container.

Landed in Tampa and took a chance on this place from Uber Eats. Needless to say the other reviews about quality food and having taste went right out the window with our order. I have NEVER seen spicy tuna look like crusted tan colored dry paste. And it’s tasted like it too. It was like a dry stovetop stuffing! Horrid! The shumai and dumplings had mystery meat that was supposed to be shrimp. Could immediately tell it wasn’t shrimp. The “spring” rolls were more like old dry well aged rolls. I don’t leave reviews normally but this needed to be documented. Had to throw away $70 worth of food! Thankfully Uber gave a full refund.

The food was great, the only complaint about the food honestly was just the water tasted a bit off ? Though, the service left much to desire. It was slow even though it wasn't that crowded, and this was obviously due to being understaffed. I dined with my family, and we usually dine with Abdul, but this time we dined with Nikki. She barely checked on my family and the customer service was subpar.

The food is ok, the atmosphere is nice, and the waitress is kind, but the service is tooooo slow, you have to wait at the table for about 25/30 minutes until they come first to take your order. This is not the first time we have been here and the service is tooooo slow. They need a lot more staff. It is not worth it. Unfortunately :/

Delicious food and quality service. If you are looking for a place for Japanese food, this is the best option in Tampa.

Sushi here is always good… They are often out of the beer that I like, but I’m always able to find a substitute. Service is always good and we never wait for a table. They have accommodated our party regardless of size over the last couple of years and we’ve always enjoyed eating here.

If you’re looking to sip wine and wonder if your server’s gone missing in action, this is the place for you. We placed our order, got our glass of wine and bottle of sake, and then… radio silence. For 45 minutes, no one checked in, no food arrived, and we were completely ignored. We finally had to say we were leaving for someone to remember our sushi order—which magically appeared just then, minus the seaweed salad we’d ordered. Disorganized, inattentive, and not worth the wait.

Always great !!!!

First timers at this restaurant! Food was really good,great variety to choose from. Was not crowded but there was a lot of wait time in-between wanting to order more sushi. Waiter needs to check in more frequently.
