    Excellent service, our waitress was kind, cheerful and very helpful. The ambiance is wonderful and the food is fresh. Great value as well

    Spicy Tuna Pick Any 3 Tacos

    This place kept popping up on my instagram. So we made the drive on a Sunday evening. The place was quiet. The staff was very pleasant. The Sushi Tacos were absolutely amazing. My wife loved the salmon skin taco. The spicy tuna was my favorite. We also really liked the eel taco. The Push pop Pink Lady roll was fun and tasted great. We did ask for them to not put tempura crumbs in anything.

    Interior

    Pros: Nicely decorated interior. The new owners are trying to be more upscale. A mixture of Japanese and Chinese dishes. Good customer service. I was checked on a good amount. My flaming hot plate had a lit burner turned on for the duration of the meal. Pretty cool feature. Open 7 days a week! I ordered the Flaming Hot Plate Mala style with beef. The beef was tender and the vegetables were well cooked and flavorful. I liked the fresh cilantro added. 8/10 Cons Sodas are served a la carte (no fountain style). The menu description of the hot plate didn't mention what carbohydrate was included. ( I almost feel like noodles would be better but I'm unfamiliar with Chinese preparation so I can't really get upset about that.) I enjoyed the meal much better than the previous occupant Rain Bistro's version. Overall: A nice Asian restaurant in North Tampa that's worth checking out.

    Me and my friend went for the sushi tacos and ended up finding so much more... our new favorite sushi spot! Everything about this place is fantastic! The amazing ambiance the gorgeous cultural symbols and the fantastic staff! We love and keep coming back.

    The Nigori is 2 for 1. The 2 flavors i had were amazing. Mango and Lychee.

    Yuzu beignet (delicious)

    I stopped by Fortune Kitchen during their soft opening to check it out! They're currently transitioning concepts, so you'll notice a blend of Chinese and Japanese décor for now, but they'll be focusing more on Japanese cuisine moving forward. It's great to see an Asian restaurant near the Tampa Palms area because the options are low. I tried a sushi roll, chicken skewer, yakisoba and karaage. The chicken skewer was flavorful and I enjoyed it. They shared that they plan to expand their skewer selection in the future, which I'm excited about. The sushi pizza was creative and surprisingly well-balanced. It's one of those dishes you're curious about, and the flavors actually came together nicely. I also ordered the karaage. It wasn't the typical Japanese-style karaage I'm used to with a crispy breading. It tasted more like chicken nuggets. I shared that feedback with them, and they were receptive, so I'm hopeful it evolves as they continue refining the menu. Their yuzu beignets for dessert was very enjoyable! Overall, it was a nice first visit, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow and settle into their full Japanese-focused concept.

    I was really pleased by this restaurant. The sushi was fresh, the atmosphere was inviting, and they even had some select menu items from one of my favorite spots, Beijing House. We ordered the Thai tea which was nice and creamy. It wasn't too sweet, which is always a plus. Then we ordered some sushi rolls, which were delicious and straightforward. The highlight of my meal was the sushi tacos. They had a nice crunch to them and they were very flavorful with each bite. This place is definitely worth the visit!

    Tonkatsu ramen

    Sushi push pop is a must! Fresh and filling. What surprised me was how food their Tonkatsu ramen was. Pushpop sushi has sweet ponzu sauce that's awesome.

    Had an opportunity to try Fortune Kitchen this weekend. Solid place. Very beautiful interior thanks to a pretty extensive renovation. The restaurant is owned by the owners of Beijing House, so you feel the same style in their menus and service, which is great! This restaurant focuses more on sushi, ramen, and Japanese izakaya with some other Chinese dishes. The ramen was solid, with good broth and solid noodles. They are also generous with the Soft Boiled Egg and Pork Charsu slices. I hope they expand the menu even more and I look forward to trying more items! Please support local and give them a try! :)

    We were there at the lunchtime. The interior was beautifully decorated. The sitting area was big, wide open and clean. I had their lunch box. I picked Flamming mala chicken, garlic soy soba noodle, and the strawberry iced tea. They were all very delicious. We also got some sushi, but I prefer their stir-fry dishes than sushi. The service was good. It was not a bad experience.

    S2. Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Macy M.

    The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. Food is great and the pricing even better! I took my kids during lunch hour and they had great deals! We got the 2 rolls for $13.95 and it was well worth it. Comes with a drink too. Definitely a great new addition to the USF area.

    Sushi tacos

    Tried this restaurant for takeout and was pleasantly surprised! The sushi tacos were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful.

    Tuna tataki

    Tried this brand new Sushi restaurant on their grand opening day. I'm a sushi connoisseur. I am very specific about my taste and how my sushi is prepared. I can't say enough great things about this establishment. First off the quality of the sushi is what deserves recognization the most in my opinion. They prepared the food perfectly and every piece of fish I had was fresh. The salmon practically melts the second it touches your tongue, buttery and clean with no hint of fishiness. The tuna is vibrant and silky, with that perfect balance of richness and delicacy. Even the yellowtail has that bright, ocean-sweet finish that tells you it was handled with real care You can tell the chefs truly respect their craft. I'm genuinely beaming at how great this restaurant is. I will be coming back consistently. The matcha frappe is my favorite drink EVER! It's made with oat milk so it's all 10's from me. It's such a perfectly crafted drink I dream about this often. It's my go to pick for Matcha.

They literally hahe mentaiko on the menu.... And then our ramen came out without the spicy paste and we flagged someone down , I assume the manager? Since he was dressed differently and he rudely said that's no wrong, they just didn't give you the paste. Okay....? So it's not what I ordered lol. He came back with the paste and very condescendingly asked is that right now? I also thought the ramen wasn't very flavorful and the noodles were on the softer end. All in all won't be back

Placed an order for the spicy tuna hand roll, the fries, Chicken Thigh with Scallion and Japanese sausage skewers, and the chicken Karaage. The handroll came out within just a few minutes. The fish was so fresh and delicious. Later on we ordered the Tekka Don (raw) which was raw tuna over rice. The tuna was so fresh and delicious. Even my date, who doesn't like sushi, tried so and was impressed! Definitely give Tori bar a try for regular or late night happy hour, or really just any time for some delicious Asian inspired small plates and hand rolls.

We frequent this restaurant often, I've noticed a high turnover in servers and initially assumed the slow service was due to that. However, during a non-busy lunchtime , with only about five other tables, it took 30 minutes to receive a hibachi chicken plate and a kids' meal. My daughter was not very happy needless to say . That wait time felt excessive and made me question what's happening in the kitchen. I understand it's the holiday season and that waiting is sometimes expected, but a long delay for a 15 table restaurant is disappointing. The server mentioned that 30 minutes is normal for a hibachi chicken plate, which seems a bit long to me. I usually gravitate toward Asian restaurants because service tends to be quicker, so this experience was surprising. For now, I may stick to my usual Vietnamese and Korean go-to spots, but I truly hope this improves because I want to continue supporting this local business. Additionally, the fried banana side that comes with the kids' meal has been consistently inedible. Ten times out of ten, it's extremely greasy, more like biting into a hot grease ball than bananas. It doesn't feel very healthy or even safe for children.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our experience even better. We kicked things off with some well-crafted cocktails that hit the mark--balanced, refreshing, and beautifully presented.

The shrimp fried rice leaned a bit on the sweeter side for my taste, but the portion was generous and satisfying. The real winner of the night was the short rib--tender, full of flavor, and easily my favorite entree on the menu. A solid spot for a night out with good food, drinks, and an aesthetic setting.

Didn't need all the micro greens for garnish on top but this could be overlooked because taste and flavor was amazing. The tuna tartare was super tasty as well and I would definitely order this again same comment for micro greens on this dish - didn't need this and found myself moving it off the dishes to actually enjoy the item. The two not so favorite dishes for me were the fried rice topped with fried chicken. While chicken was very tasty the rice was extremely basic. Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss. Service for our large party wasn't bad and everything came out pretty quickly!

If you are a tuna lover like I am, I highly recommend to try the toro flight as well! The Dungeness crab salad was interesting but absolutely delish. It comes on a bed of tuna carpaccio which makes for a nice presentation. The kamo crostini (duck breast with onion jam on house made toast points) is inventive and flavorful. Each bite had that satisfying sweet and savory element to it. To round out our supper, we also shared the kinoko gohan with salmon (mushroom coconut rice with a salmon filet) and it was for sure the highlight of the meal!The salmon is marinated and cooked to perfection so it just melts in your mouth and much like the crostini, there is a sweet and savoriness to each bite of the salmon and rice. For desert we tried the soy milk panna cotta which was silky and light. The restaurant itself is super cute and well done inside. It is dark enough to create a cozy, intimate ambiance without being so dark you can't see what you are eating. The noise level is also acceptable.

Our absolute favorite dish was a mushroom coconut rice. We actually ended up ordering a second order of it because it was so good. If you like coconut, this is your dish. It is a savory dish so it is eaten for dinner. All of the rolls were very good too. They come with eight pieces so they are on the larger side. All of the fish tasted so fresh. The one thing I was not a fan of was the Shishito peppers. They weren't as blistered as I generally like it. Also, the kale salad was a little spicy for my taste. I did love the candied nuts and if it wasn't so spicy, I would have enjoyed it so much more. But I do think the taste was really interesting and if you can handle spice, I would recommend it. The desserts are divine. We got the Belgian waffle and the Panna cotta. The Panna cotta was definitely my favorite. They are small desserts so at first, I was nervous ordering two desserts for our table of four women, but when they came, we cracked up because our waitress said that the Belgian waffle was perfect for four people, and it was because we had another dessert. Otherwise it is tiny. These are not huge desserts. This place is basically on Sparkman's wharf. So paid parking is plenty full as long as there isn't an event happening. The decor of this place is beautiful. It is dark but not too dark and it is easy to have a conversation because it isn't super loud. I would definitely come back to this place.
