50 Best Sushi Bars in Tampa

“We really enjoyed everything about our experience eating here. Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food came out quickly and I have to give big props to our waiter, Christian, who was very attentive to us throughout our meal. I can’t wait to go back!“

“First time here the food was delicious and the desert is delicious. Nate gave us recommendations and he was spot on! 10 out of 10“

“I can’t believe it’s been over 3 years since Noble Rice opened and this was our very first visit! It absolutely blew us away. The service was impeccable. Hostess Angel greeted us warmly, and our server Allison A. was simply outstanding ~ easily one of the best experiences we’ve had anywhere in Tampa. We started with drinks, and every single one was perfect. The Lychee Martini was smooth and floral, the Espresso Martini had just the right kick, and the Haku ~ their version of a Moscow Mule ~ was phenomenal. My husband is a self-proclaimed Moscow Mule connoisseur, and he gave it high praise. The food? Next-level. The Tuna Carpaccio was the star of the show ~ literally melted in our mouths. We also loved the Classic Poké, Tempura Poké Rolls, and the Tekka Roll ~ all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented with different types of soy causes for each. The only item that didn’t quite hit the mark for us was the Hanabi Maki ~ still very fresh, just not our personal favorite. I’m sure many others enjoy it! What really stood out was the service ~ something that has unfortunately been on the decline across Tampa in recent years. But at Noble Rice, everyone went above and beyond. Allison didn’t just take our order, she asked thoughtful questions about our taste preferences, made drink and dessert recommendations (the Panna Cotta dessert was heavenly), and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Our only wish? Larger portions ~ because everything was so good, we didn’t want it to end. An amazing 18th anniversary dinner!! We’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Noble Rice, for making it so special.“

“Everything was good i especially loved the rice🗣️‼️ our chef Tadashi was hilarious and next time I come back to Tampa with the family we’re definitely coming back and I WANT TADASHI🗣️‼️🔪👨🏽‍🍳🍽️💪🏽🔥😁🏝️#Tampa“

“What a wonderful place . Beautiful environment beautiful people. The owner is a great person. Felt like I was at home eating a 5 star meal. What a blessing I received today from the owner as well. Highly highly recommend.“

“Nice atmosphere, good sushi/ sashimi“

“visit from Ohio, always stop in.“

“sushi was fresh, great prices and delicious.“

“My husband and I are frequent diners at Rice and Spice, pretty much regulars, we have been visiting this restaurant for over 2 years and every time we are 100% happy and satisfied with the food, the service, the ambience. They never cease to amaze us with their menu. Tonight we ordered a new dish that is not in the menu yet and it was absolutely delicious. If you like curry, which i do not care for curry - but this was exceptional. The name is Ka-Mu-Panang. I also had a new dessert - made of coconut, bananas. and mango. Because it was a new item it hasn't been named yet - so we called it CoBango, the owners were also naming it different things and still no name when we left. Typical visit as part of the fun going there is feeling like going to family- the owners are very we;coming and family oriented. Love the place!“

“I’m actually obsessed with this place and I’ve never been in person, only ordered many times on Uber Eats. The pad Thai is delicious, curry was lovely, and I always get the hand rolls. Wow I hope this place stays here forever“

“Food was phenomenal. Highly recommend“

“The best sushi in Carrollwood! We will be back! 🩷“

“A wonderful menu of Japanese fusion and classic dishes. Great sushi and sashimi!“

“Great food, everything we ordered taste great. I would highly recommend“

“This is one of my favorite sushi spots. The food is great and comes out relatively quickly, sometimes there is a bit of a wait depending on what day you go but that is usual. Their all you can eat option is the best in my opinion. They have a variety of other options if you do not enjoy sushi as well. -JL“

“This is #23 on my Poke Bowl Challenge and Poke Express did not disappoint. Great selection, pricing and the ingredients are very fresh!“

“Our waitress Tiffany was a huge help to decide what to order. It can get pretty overwhelming with all the different varieties of Sushi, Appetizers and Sake. We definitely appreciated her input.“

“Water+flour is an absolute gem! We’ve been coming here for years and recently it’s become our favorite place to eat consistently. Every time we go eat here no matter the time of day we are in awe of the great service and the delicious food. The atmosphere is always so relaxing even when they’re busy it’s enjoyable , adding to the overall experience. We most recently went to celebrate my birthday and our server was Megan she was seriously amazing and made it feel like such a special experience! All of the servers are attentive and we’ve never had a bad experience which is why we continue to come back! They have a great group of people working there and you can see their manager France cares about her employees and the establishment!!“

“Finally made it here for lunch. The space is small, but clean and cute, and the customer service was top tier. As for the food, I enjoyed what I ordered, but it was a bit underwhelming. If you prefer cooked sushi rolls, I probably wouldn’t recommend coming during lunch since the selection was very limited. They may have more options during dinner, but based on my lunch experience, I was expecting a little more.“

“Very tasty fresh food. Staff is very nice.“

“This was the second time dining in and both times it did not disappoint. First time was dinner with sushi and today was lunch with udon and tempura. We will definitely be back to try other delicious items on the menu‼️“

“We come here weekly! The food is always top notch, some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. But it’s the people that work there and own Ebisu that make it so special. Love this place!!

If you’re lucky enough to come on a day when they have specials on the chalkboard, take advantage of whatever they have that’s fresh!“

“Very authentic looking Japanese Izakaya. Good food and drink also.“

“visit from Ohio, always stop in.“

“Food Excellent
Service Excellent
Atmosphere Excellent
Would totally recommend the crab and avocado hand rolls, chicken karage, fries, rice pot, chicken thighs/ribeye/pork belly skewers!

Lychee martinis are also a go to! Love this spot 5 stars!“

“11/5 STARS, BEST SUSHI I'VE EVER EATEN! Best waiter ever TRAVIS, see him, you will be taken care of!!!. Look how amazing the food and atmosphere is!! It's All You Can Eat for $30, WOWOW! I'm posting the menu, look if you buy too things the all you can eat makes more sense. The boba tea and green tea pots taste heavenly!! The sushi is mouthwatering, portions are great! With all you can eat you can do this until you are stuffed. Look at the presentation?! It tastes better than it looks even. Menu is one of the most robust I've ever seen. I'm posting their small menu, but the in restaurant one is like a dozen pages. Its all delicious. The chefs are amazing and very nice. The wait staff is incredible. This is the second time I've gone and cannot speak highly enough. They should get awards for best sushi in the area, but really anywhere in the country. They had like 14 people in the restaurant working which is amazing considering Walmart has like 5 people working nowadays. Their staff was super attentive and food came out in like 5 minutes. I cannot speak highly enough, this is my forever go to place and so reasonable with how expensive everything is with inflation. Go here, seriously or wait, don't I' want all the foods. It will make you very happy, nice job Ajisai 3, you truly are the best of the best!!! #ajisaiayce ; *WAIT I forgot to mention something REALLY important... The All you can eat sushi that's $30, its FREEEEEEEEE on your birthday, bring your ID and I think I said, its free, like free like Free Willy free. Who does anything free nowadays?! He77 yea Ajisai, you truly are the best of the best, you take care of your customers like I have never seen and on top of the food is YUMMY to the maximum. Can I leave more reviews, can I get you an award for your complete satisfaction for customers? I'm posting to every site on the Internet, its the least I can do. If my ex-wife satisfied me half as much as this this, we would still be married. Can we start dating? I think you would take care of all my needs. The best way to a man's heart is through their stomach, well here is my heart cause my stomach is fulfilled.“

“I’ve been eyeing this spot for takeout for a while and finally ordered from this local food truck. I’m so glad I did.

The karaage (popcorn) chicken was both my partner’s and my favorite! It was really juicy and had great flavor. You can choose from several different sauces (at least when ordering online), and we went with the garlic aioli, which paired really well with it.

We also ordered the crab “goonies” (so cute!), a Philly roll, and a tuna hand roll. The portions were generous, and we felt like we got a lot of food for what we ordered.

It’s always nice to support a local business, especially when the food is this good. We’ll definitely be back, and I have to say the karaage chicken gives Guthrie’s a run for its money!“

“Food was freaking great! One of the better poké spots I’ve found.“

“The tuna and shrimp is always fresh!“

“Whether it’s the sushi or a bento box or donburi bowl it’s all really good and I enjoy eating there before or between classes. Van is a really cool dude and is very accommodating, definitely one of the nicest and chillest dudes I’ve ever met. Overall pretty good I’d recommend it for sure.“

“Great little sushi spot! Food, service and atmosphere were all outstanding!“

“Very nice place, seems very popular. Many appetizers both hot and cold to choose from. There was also many entrees and a large sushi menu. We ordered 5 rolls that was more than plenty to eat. It did not come out all together on a boat style plate like you see at many sushi restaurants but on individual plates because each roll had it's own accent sauce to it. Very delicious. Our server Heather was very attentive as well as the rest of the staff. We will be back.“

“Dined at Tanto and had an absolutely wonderful time. The service was stellar (Chuck, Tony C and Nick P). My friend and I were so pleased that we thanked every member of staff on duty. It was that good. The food was perfection and the drinks were beyond impressive.“

“On a whim stopped by to snag some sushi and it was decently surprised about how utterly delicious it was. The portions were stellar and flavors married together very nicely. We ordered to go and they had out 5 rolls ready in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend!!“

“I have not been to the new location yet but will visit very soon. I have been coming to ichiban since i was 12-13 years old and i just rolled over to 38.it is the ONLY sushi spot i will go. The sushi is always amazing caroline makes dining inviting and enjoyable the atmosphere is always pleasant.“

“great food great service we will return with an appetite“

“We were impressed with the freshness and quality and wide variety of food. The service was excellent and 5 stars also for the cleanliness of all areas.“

“Excellent food and service. Highly recommend this location.“

“Highly recommend! Food was delicious and fresh, came out fast, great concept, and good prices. No hidden charges and our server Peter was very informative of everything from portions to how the restaurant came about. Peter was great, if he's working I recommend him as well! We'll definitely be regulars.“

“This restaurant is definitely my favorite sushi restaurant. Great sushi and great service extremely clean and nice atmosphere.“

“Rock N Raw was such a great experience! 🙌 The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, and the taco was amazing flavor and just the right kick. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned.
The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and the service was great too✨“

“My wife and I have been going here for a year as a frequent date spot. The ambiance and atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. The most idyllic date you could dream of. The staff is always so kind and talks with us about whatever feels fun that day. The food is also just incredible- I’ve had food all around the world and this is just so thoughtful and well put together it makes me so happy every time. I only really review places when i feel like they really deserve it, and the food is just so creative and the menu is so incredible i really cannot recommend this place enough. Also, if you want a recommendation- the kyoto roll is my wife’s favorite.“

“Great tasting food, great service, great prices, great ambiance..we were a party of eight and we all had a great time. Our server was wonderful and was the chef who presided over the hibachi grill. He was an artiste and very entertaining. We will be back.“

“Best sushi ever, the monster and Mexican roll are my favorites

I haven coming to this place for over 9 years already, and still my favorite sushi place in town; the food is always fresh and tasty; and the service is amazing they even remembers my usual orders“

“If I could give them a zero I would. My friend went there today and she was refused service because she has a skin disease called psoriasis. Shame on you all. You need to get educated the disease is not contagious I hope you and your ignorant staff learn some manners.“

“Super Friendly Staff , and Great food“

“I ordered the party tray and had a hiccup with the actual order when I opened it at home, when I called to see if this could be fixed I thought they would be dismissive but honestly they were so nice, the girl at the front was very sweet and understanding and they didn’t give me any problem at all. That was really really great customer service. Thank you! The food was great!“

“The sweet potato roll is absolutely the best!!!“
