I couldn't recommend this place more! If you're doubting, don't. If you think you'll spend too much…read moremoney, you will. But only because the food is so good and you'll want more. This is one of my favorite local spots as a Florida baby. Hand rolls are really big and you'll be full from 2-3 depending on how glutinous you are. Their smashed cucumbers and crudo are FIRE. Make sure you go during happy hour so you can feel better about spending more money there. They also have a very unique drink menu. Including non-alcoholic. I like the Lychee delight. They also are good with allergens and have lots of options for gluten free. For best portion size I'd recommend the hand rolls and starters, the skewer are a little small but very flavorful so still worth the try. I know they have live music too but not sure when, I believe they update on instagram. Anyways...get in your car and get there early so you can find parking.

Izakaya Tori is easily a 5-star spot for sushi in Tampa…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. The sushi was beautifully presented, and every roll we tried was packed with flavor without feeling overdone. You can really tell they care about the ingredients and overall experience here. The atmosphere is also a huge part of what makes this place special...cozy, modern, and perfect for either a casual dinner or a night out. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience feel welcoming from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in Tampa right now, and I'll absolutely be coming back.

I ordered the scallop skewers, the steak skewer, mentaiko fries, sashimi platter, & the yummy roll…read morebut man the fish was so chewy and over cooked this easily became the "yucky roll" for me. The cocktails are pretty sweet and tasty, I enjoyed the yuzu cocktail a lot. I wouldn't come for their sushi, but for late night bites and tapas, I would definitely order. Parking is tough, it's very crowded in the restaurant. The sushi rice was not good whether it was on a roll or not, the sashimi is not as fresh. The tuna was tough. Was it worth 50 minutes probably not.. but it's good for an experience this was my 2nd time here, and I don't live in this area but my brother wanted to try this place. Our waiter was not as friendly. Everything felt kind of rushed because there was such a long wait. This place is kinda pricey overall. All the tables were close to eachother, but very nice decor.

The food was amazing, I am still dreaming about the carbonara 10/10, Peking duck shareable for 4 people or more for $125, it's a great deal. Sushi options, you can make specialized drinks- I ordered a lychee margarita super yum. The maguro Carparcio is a must ordered appetizer as it has some caviar on top and a yummy cream. The flavors blended so well together. I wanted to eat more. Garlic prawns were delish, and shareable, the braised short rib udon was also tasty. The salmon crudo was 3/5, it could've used more flavor. End of the night they offered us free ice cream- tasted like coffee with other delish vanilla and crushed ube cookie. He said that make special flavors of the week or something. They do charge for waters.

Definitely a five star experience…read more The things Noble Rice does well they do extremely well. I got the fig sour and it was absolutely delicious. I would get this every single time and I wish other places made it. My friends all loved their drinks too, so I think the drinks here were a total hit. 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.

We usually start with the sourdough flatbread with tomato dip, and it is always so delicious--warm, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to share. I love changing it up and trying different pastas, but my absolute favorite is the Vodka Tomato Pasta. It's rich, creamy, and full of flavor--never disappoints. Everything is consistently amazing, and it's one of those places you can always count on for great food and a great time. Can't wait for our next girls' night here!

Popped into WAGAMAMA, a popular WATER STREET restaurant for dinner and it did not disappoint…read more My server Veronica was on her A-game. I started the evening with their chili Margarita. It's a spicy one but adds a nice kick to the meal. Tonight I enjoyed the pork potstickers and for my entree, I had the steak Bulgogi. Love, love, love the dining experience tonight and can't wait to be back!

Yelp lemme do a lil half star…read more I mean idk dude. It's one of those places that's good. It is. Like I enjoyed it. But it's also a chain and like nothing really stands up and out. It's good. But like is that the extend of it. Yeah, prob. I don't want to undermine things. Menu is large. They have a happy hour situation. They have mad options. Thumbs up but my doors stayed intact and were not blown off. Cool location. Sat at the bar, felt comfy. Now what I will say. Had an interesting sugar baby's scenario playing out next to me. That's cool. Water street is good for that - I'll tell you that much. So maybe the key takeaway. Good location. Good food and does the job.

From the moment we walked in, the intimate atmosphere helped to keep the focus exactly where it should be: the food. We sat at the chef's counter which elevated our experience even further, giving us a front-row seat to the artistry behind each dish. While the meal was exquisite. What truly sets Kinjo apart, was Chef Jada's execution. Chef Jada brought an incredible level of precision and creativity to the dishes. There was a balance bold flavors in every bite. Service was equally outstanding during our visit. There were so many delicious options we had difficulty deciding. But the staff's deep understanding of the menu help enhance the experience with thoughtful guidance throughout our selections. Kinjo wasn't just dinner--it' was an experience.

Soho Sushi never disappoints, and this time was no different…read more *I opted to have my sushi delivered via DoorDash, so this is not an on-site review* SoHo roll (tuna, salmon + tempura chips, topped with roe) Mexican roll (Fried shrimp, avocado, and roe) Downtowner roll (tuna, salmon, cream cheese + avocado topped with roe and sesame seeds) I was in the mood for simple rolls instead of their more aesthetically pleasing, artistically arranged specialty rolls. Fish: always fresh and of the highest quality Rice: perfectly sticky, not over/under cooked Veggies: avocado is fresh and just sliced Toppings: the roe had just the right amount of flavor Construction: wrapped tightly and cleanly If highly suggest the Volcano & Lobstah Wagyu rolls; they are my favorites!

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!

Terrible from start to finish. Waited 25 minutes at hostess stand without anyone coming to help…read more Ended up seating myself and waiting another 15 minutes for a waitress to help. Food is terrible - they even forgot the egg as a part of my ramen and brought me a frozen egg when I mentioned the missing item which was disgusting. Octopus is so tough and chewy. Terribly cooked from frozen. Mango sticky rice is absolutely horrendous. Nothing like what you expect. Temperature is terrible - they don't use A/C so it's incredibly hot and humid in restaurant. Avoid this place at all costs.

We ordered wine spritzers to start off and they were light and refreshing. Then we ordered crab rangoons to share. These are not the same ones you get at your favorite Chinese take-out. The dumpling was crispy around the edges but soft in the middle, with a very delicious filling. Next time I think I'll order my own!! We also ordered salads with ginger dressing which was good. We shared two sushi rolls: the Gronk and the Red Devil. The presentation was very nice and the rolls were really good. Our server Veronica was sweet and did a great job of taking care of us. We got there early, around 4:45ish, as we had reservations for a craft project afterwards, and had only an hour or so for dinner. It was nice and leisurely and we never felt rushed for time, thanks to our server and the kitchen. A very lovely meal!

It was early evening, so we were some of the only people in the place, but I know it gets crowded later. We started with crab rangoon and spritzers. The filling in the crab rangoon was excellent; I just wish the dumplings themselves were hotter. Followed that with a basic ginger salad-just lettuce and a good ginger dressing. Our rolls is where they shined, though. We shared 2: the Red Devil and the Gronk. The Red Devil was great with a bit of a kick, but the Gronk was my favorite; just a winning combo of yellowtail, krab & cucumber topped with tuna, yellowtail, eel sauce, spicy mayo, tempura chips and roe. Delicious! Dessert was going to be had later in the evening, so all in all a very fun meal.
