Sushi Ushi Japanese Restaurant

We pass this place all the time and the name makes us laugh, but the sign is very unassuming. My daughter had been begging for sushi (not my husband's fav) and it was a special occasion for her, so we looked it up to see: a) if the reviews were any good and b) if they had vegetarian sushi options. It ticked both boxes, so we went.

Wow, we were so impressed by this place. Our waitress was wonderful. I don't think I've ever said that about a waitress before, but she really stood out. She was so kind, friendly, and attentive.

The restaurant itself isn't large, but is nicely decorated, the menu has a great variety, they had a few specials too. My kids love sushi, but don't really love fish (hence the vegetarian options), but I got a tempura bagel roll and it was absolutely delicious and huge - and even the kids ate some. We had the tuna avocado bomb for an appetizer and it was delicious as well. Garlic edamame, tempura veggies, a few veggies sushi rolls, ramen, soba - I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but it was all good and a decent price as well.

We will absolutely be back, one of my favorite places we've been to in the area.

Absolutely delishhhh!! 💯🔥

Absolutely delicious. Just had their vegan sushi via DoorDash and it was incredible. Quality, large size sushi! I ordered their sweet potato rolls, edamame, seaweed salad, and miso soup. 10/10!

Admittedly, I was surprised with how good the food was. We will definitely be going back.

The best sushi, the best prices and the best service!

My wife Kim and I have been coming here for 5 years now. Nothing in Tampa comes close

Why have I not tried this place before? I’ve never had such a luxurious sushi experience as a lunch special. Toro? Scallop? Albacore on a sushi lunch special? Unheard of. Most places slap a krab stick on your plate. The service was amazing, truly like 5 star dining. I will not eat sushi from any other place now that I’ve found this place.

This is a hole in the wall, and it knows it. The service and food is beyond what a "fancy restaurant" will ever give you for only half the price of whatever they were charging you

Sushi Ushi has been my go-to for a while now. Their portions are very generous, fair prices, and fresh, delicious fish. I usually order the chirashi, which comes with a soup & salad (instead of having to pick one like most places are doing now), and they never skimp on the cuts! No imitation “krab”. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Very quaint atmosphere for dine-in, and always top notch attention to detail for take-out.
