I'm torn on this place. The sushi is great. I had some super Toro last time there. The atmosphere needs work: it's a combination between a funeral home and your grandmother's guest bedroom. So I go for the food, not the ambiance.

I am SHOCKED at how good my meal was. Hamachi collar slapped, agedashi tofu delicious, udon addictive, and all hits no skips on sashimi dinner. Get it all, come hungry.

Sushi will and will always be good… chicken teriyaki isn’t good at all! Don’t order chicken teriyaki! Sushi is phenomenal! I’ve had their sushi sooo many times it’s amazing! But that chicken teriyaki they literally need to sit down and try and think it’s somehow good… it’s not! Sushi good worst chicken teriyaki I had! Gave five stars for sushi! Quit making chicken teriyaki! It sucks. I’m super surprised by no comments talking about the teriyaki chicken?!?! I gave them five stars cause everything else is good but dried up chicken breast in watered down teriyaki sauce is unacceptable! I really hope you pull your act together with either taking the teriyaki off your menu completely or making it betterш

Sushi chef was Japanese.They had their Uni supply delivered an hour before we arrived.Sushi prices are for one piece not two and this is because the quality is very high.The appetizers and from the kitchen options range from very Japanese to excellent fusion. The spicy tuna cracker (senbei) was wonderful.The men’s bathroom has a washlet just like in Japan! Go treat your mouth to a luxurious sushi dinner then treat your butt to a luxurious bidet spray

I should have taken the hint when this place was completely empty. We got a variety of sushi that was not only extremely expensive ($100 for 5 rolls!), but the worst sushi I've ever had anywhere. I've had $1 conveyer belt sushi that tasted better.Edit: I can't seem to reply to the owner below, but the only other thing we ordered was 2 appetizers, so you've either got the wrong person or are claiming those apps cost $40. We definitely got 5 rolls so probably mistaken identity.

Visited this place less than 2 weeks ago after reading some reviews. The place is dark. The food is not good. My wife ordered chicken teriyaki - the chicken breast cubes were dry. I ordered a sushi sashimi dinner - big mistake. The dinner included mostly low quality pieces like shrimp, imitation crab, red clams, octopus, more red snapper than I really cared, 3 thin pieces of tuna and the same of salmon - they were too cold and runny, and 1 small piece of yellowtail. And the rice was dry and hard for sushi.

I went here because the other Japanese restaurant looked like a tailgate party was ending. I wanted to eat slowly, relax, enjoy the food and atmosphere. The people are so kind. I found that they have been around many years. I wish I knew. This place has original Japanese food and excellent service.
I loved the food I just wish the server put in all of our orders in at the same time.Other than that food was fantastic! Outstandingsushi chef and if I tell you he's the fastest chef I've ever seen with my own eyes

food was mixed bag. ramen was packaged, tempura had too much breding, macaroni salad (???) didn't have much flavor. croquette and veggies and rice were good. sushi was decent.

One of the better no fuss, just good sushi spots in Tampa. My kids even prefer and ask to go to Toki all the time.

Give them a try!

I went to this place because the amazing reviews and I have to tell ya, it did not disappoint! Staff is friendly and the food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I got the nigiri salmon, the Philadelphia roll and the Roman holiday (my favorite)! Everything is SO FRESH and delicious! 10/10
