“Did the 20 course Omakase. The room is beautiful and spa like with the soft lighting and design. Extra details include offering pads to rest your phone on top of, bag hooks under counters, guests selecting their own chopsticks, hot towels, etc. While these are great, service is a bit choppy. I asked for a glass of champagne three times. It felt service overlooked our party of four while some others got extra attentiveness. It’s natural when they ordered more beverages but I didn’t feel like anyone came over to talk to us about any recommendations either. Twice, the chef had to wait for service to mark with new silverware while food waited to be served including ice cream melting. The menu consists of the usual items with some exciting ingredients but slightly underwhelming. Knowing Michelin stars are given out in the US a little more easily than other countries, my guess is Michelin will award them 1 star. If you’ve had omakase before, you may be disappointed but it’s not bad, it’s actually pretty solid. Definitely good for Tampa.“

“A great all around all you can eat sushi place. Would recommend going for the lunch special. It was under $20 per person but if you go for dinner it's around $30. At $30 there are better alternatives for sushi and Japanese cuisine in the Brandon area. If you love japanese food and sushi I would recommend at least trying it.“

“The Mexican roll was very good and the service from Ashley was excellent and quick. Sat outside and it was lovely, Ashley ensured that we got a shady spot. Also had the Florida and Spicy Tuna rolls, they were good as well but I didn’t eat them fully because the Mexican was plenty filling.Parking: A good amount of parking for a Sunday“

“Wonderful poke bowl. One of the best in its kind. The sauces are amazing, a variety of ingredients are included in the price. Price aren’t abusive but average. I had a full bowl with 3 proteins and it was that tasty that I wanted more. Congrats guys, keep it up and please don’t let prices go crazy.“

“My MIL took us here because she's been before and said it was great . It's very nicely decorated inside and there's outdoor seating . My SO and I were excited to try the takoyaki, he loved it but I wasn't too sold on the textures. The flavors were good though. Delicious sushi and a ton of options as well! We'll likely come again .“

“This place is one of the best sushi joints around. There’s always other southeast asian folks dining here so I assume it’s pretty authentic. Their eel is amazing. Their takoyaki is also very good. I highly recommend the dragon roll as well. The waitress is phenomenal she knows all her regulars and so do the chefs. Love this place.“

“A nice little sushi place that’s hidden in the depths of Downtown Tampa. This place isn’t in the best condition being under a parking garage, as the floors were dirty. However, there were some redeeming points about the decor; like the mural on the wall. The service was very friendly and was quick with our food.The food here is great! I enjoyed my Crab Rangoon here. The chicken curry had a great flavor to it, as well as the rice. My sushi tasted alright, but it wasn’t excellent as the curry. Overall, would come here if you’re willing to get some Japanese food in Downtown Tampa.“

“We did the sushi making class with head chef Kham. It was an absolutely amazing experience and an even better value for an evening out. Sam, our waitress, was kind and super attentive. We experienced so many new Sakis and even an off menu sushi roll. Can not wait to go back for this unique experience. Highly recommend for a great date night.“

“This place is AMAZING. If anyone out there likes Yamato Japanese Hibachi as much as I do, their yakisoba tastes the EXACT same here, at a much cheaper price. Steak was cooked excellently, and came out very fast. Cashier was also very kind. Will go again.“

“Traveling through Tampa. We liked everything overall. The waitress/hostess Lacey was absolutely wonderful! Crab ragoon wasn't crispy as we expected, but decent. Saturday special on sushi! Buy 1 get 1 half off. Fried rice- shrimp & veggie were delish. Minus the shrimp. Both rice & sushi shrimp was over cooked & rubbery. Honestly still enjoyed meals, would come back if we were traveling Tampa again. Lacey is 5 stars!“

“Located upstairs in the center of Ybor's Centro. Great friendly staff and absolutely awesome Sushi! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Only "complaint" which its honestly no big deal but we asked if the Chef would just create us whatever he wanted and we were told they don't do that. Fairly decent amount of seating, but if you like sushi you are going to love Samurai Blue. Side note: Awesome selection of Sake!“

“Staff is always nice and pleasant and the Food is always perfectly done and Affordable. I've Been going here for a few years since before Covid and while most other Asian Restaurants have raised their prices way too High after Covid and don't even keep the same Quality on how they prepare their Food this place has maintained their great Service and Quality. I've moved further away since Covid but still make the Drive back to get Quality Cuisine. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Worth the trip and looks like the owners have a few other locations. The staff was very friendly and efficient with handling so many orders non stop. The food was also delicious and so was every plate I saw them hand out. Highly recommend giving them a visit and if you’re with someone that doesn’t like sushi, there are plenty of other walk up restaurants in the immediate area for them to spend a few dollars at while you get the best that money can buy at Zukku.“

“For $13.95 per person for all you can eat sushi, it is the best deal in the area (including tampa, brandon & riverview). The service is quite hit or miss. Waiters/waitresses are always either overly excited to come over or you have to call them to order more sushi. Occasionally you'll get a good balance. For the price you can't beat it and I would HIGHLY recommend it. I have been there probably 10 times in the past 8 months and cannot get enough of it.“

“I encountered efficient service and authentic Japanese cuisine at this restaurant run by a Japanese family. The omusubi with plum and seaweed salad was delightful—I truly savored it. Although the lady who took my order initially seemed rude, it may be due to her hearing problems. However, her husband kindly assisted me with my order. I'm already looking forward to returning to try either the kitsune udon or karaage curry.“
