46 Best Sushi Bars in Tampa

“Amazing flavors and service!“

“After a year of waiting, I was finally able to try Kosen for the first time. Absolutely worth the wait. The food was meticulously curated, and the service was top notch. Far too often, you are beaten to death with the same classic pairings that you have enjoyed elsewhere. That is not the case here. Many of the dishes included ingredients from the laundry list of items that they fermented in house. What a great way to ensure the experience is uniquely their own. It seemed like each member of their service team had stopped by to introduce themselves and ask if they could do anything to enhance the experience. The courses were paced well, and service was attentive. In a world of cookie cutter omakase and sushi restaurants popping up and offering little to distinguish themselves from eachother, Kosen was refreshingly original. The Michelin recognition is well deserved and I look forward to my next visit. Huge thank you to Dakota, Andrew and the rest of the team for making such a memorable experience.“

“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“

“I only have positive things to say about this establishment! My family and I usually dine in with you guys but we were hosting a family reunion today and we wanted to order some of our favorite foods to go. My gosh everything was just prepared wonderfully and tasted amazing like usual! The take out team was just spot on! We wanted to specifically thank a younger girl with blonde hair. I believe her name was Nichole or Nikki or something like that. keep up the good work, i’ll be back!“

“Isekai is a small, friendly, family-run operation with a creative menu and top-quality ingredients. This was the first place I found in Tampa that offers toro (fatty tuna) and real wasabi. Everything I’ve tried on their menu so far, from sushi and onigiri to tempura, gyoza and chicken karaage, has been top notch. They also serve coffee, tea and boba drinks - my favorite is the Mango Passionfruit Tea with the mango chunks in the bottom. The atmosphere is cute and casual, with anime art and two screens showing anime and live action food or music videos. There are also tables available outside. I highly recommend this place.“

“Never disappoints.🍱🍤🍣🍶🥟🍤🥢“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

“Food was very good, flavors were delicious and my salmon was cooked perfectly. Really liked the ginger salad dressing, seemed like they make it in house (but I could be wrong). Service was wonderful, games were on but atmosphere was not too loud that we couldn't have a good conversation. This isn't our first time and definitely won't be our last coming here, lots more dishes to try. We ordered: Goyza (yum!), tuna and spicy tuna sushi (seemed fresh), Terriaki salmon (delicious), and BBQ short ribs (practically licked the plate clean lol). Restrooms were fully functioning and supplies well stocked, a few pieces paper on the ground but nothing off putting.“

“Nice atmosphere, good sushi/ sashimi“

“This is such a nice spot. Food was fresh and delicious. Drinks were amazing. My friend lost her card and the staff was looking all over for it. They even offered to take her number in case it turned up. Excellent service. Great vibe for date night or chill night with friends.“

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

“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!!“

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

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

“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‼️“

“The picture says it all. Presentation: 10 stars!! Taste: 10 stars! Hands down, this is the best sushi restaurant in Tampa.

From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the elegant, contemporary modern décor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ambient lighting sets the perfect mood, enhanced by artful light fixtures that add a touch of sophistication. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends. Every detail, from the thoughtfully arranged seating to the overall design, reflects a deep appreciation for both style and comfort.

Now, let’s talk about the service. Mimi was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. The level of hospitality we experienced was truly commendable, making us feel like valued guests rather than just customers.

As for the food, every bite was a testament to the quality and freshness that this restaurant prides itself on. The sushi and sashimi were not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavor. Each roll was crafted with precision, showcasing the chef's skill and dedication to their craft. The fish was impeccably fresh, melting in our mouths, while the accompanying ingredients harmonized beautifully to create a symphony of taste.

The standout dishes left us in awe—each one a delightful surprise that elevated our dining experience. From the classic sashimi to innovative specialty rolls, we savored every moment. It’s rare to find a place that excels in both presentation and flavor, but this restaurant has mastered the art.

If you're looking for an unforgettable sushi experience in Tampa, look no further. This gem offers not just a meal but a culinary adventure that you won’t soon forget. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their exquisite offerings. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The tuna and shrimp is always fresh!“

“Amazing flavor, and quality rolls ! Eclectic options will not find anywhere else. Definitely be back !!!“

“Everything there is so good“

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

“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.“

“I can confidently say that Ebisu Sushi is hands down my favorite restaurant in Tampa. We visit 1-3 times a week, and each experience is consistently fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is top-notch—the speed at which they prepare and serve the food is almost unbelievable.

As for the food itself, it’s phenomenal. My go-to favorites are the Hawaiian and Florida rolls, which never disappoint. Lately, we’ve been branching out and trying one of their specialty rolls every time we visit, and honestly, I haven’t had a single one that I didn’t love. It’s hard to recommend just one because they’re all so delicious!

If you’re a sushi lover in Tampa, Ebisu is a must-try. I couldn’t imagine a better spot for fresh, fast, and consistently amazing sushi.

Parking: The parking lot at Ebisu Sushi is on the smaller side and can feel a bit crowded at times. We often prefer to walk when we can, but on the occasions we do drive, we’ve always been able to find parking without an issue.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ebisu Sushi is fully accessible, featuring a convenient ramp into the restaurant. This ensures easy access for all guests, making it a great spot for everyone to enjoy their meal comfortably.“

“I’m a sushi lover and have had plenty in my life. This place takes first place, by far…..best sushi I’ve ever had, nicest owner -dedicated to his work, business, and customers. This sushi will literally make you put down your phone and just enjoy “the moment” of indulging in this delicious cuisine. Go get some!“

“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.“

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

“Very clean, nice staff, delicious food perfect birthday dinner!“

“Let me just start with this …. MICHELLE from Key West was absolutely the best server I’ve had. So fun and efficient, suggesting the best sauce combination I’ve ever tried. ALSO The food here is out of this world. Definitely try the bao buns ! I have never had anything here that I didn’t enjoy. Skip the long line at the noodle place downstairs and check out this hidden gem up the escalator behind Counsel Oak!“

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

Dietary restrictions: I requested steak with butter, salt and pepper only, no sauces. Delicious and cooked to perfection.

Parking: Parking garage is an easy walk.“

“We stopped by Zukku Sushi right after getting off a cruise and were one of the first customers when they opened at 11 AM, everything was super fresh. My youngest was craving sushi, so we waited for them to open, and it was well worth it. He loved his spicy tuna nigiri and shrimp volcano roll. My friend ordered the Lobster Volcano roll, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully presented, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’d definitely come back if we’re in the area again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Quero deixar aqui minhas recomendações comidas maravilhosas. Atendimento do garçom espetacular. A recepção meninas arrasaram super simpáticas, comunicação perfeita Ingrid e Geovana. Obrigada amei tudo Restaurante de Tampa♥️“

“Food is amazing and well worth the price of all-you-care-to-eat. The restaurant can get busy/loud at times if there is a group at the hibachi table. The service during my visit was sadly poor as our server forgot orders, prioritized other tables and in the end we paid the bill early and left as our server was no longer available.“

“Best poke bowl around! The shrimp were large and everything was fresh. Excellent service at the counter.“

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

“In the realm of "good food," "good service," and "good prices," you're not going to find better than Kura! We come at least once a week. We always enjoy our food and more importantly, we always, ALWAYS, feel welcomed (we have two toddlers)! I can't overstate how hard it can be to find somewhere that feels welcoming to babies/children but this place somehow manages to balance everything just perfectly! Kudos!“

“Great Service, great food and great chef. Will return.“

“it has great food, nice friendly staff great service“
