On a Roll Sushi is a family-owned business located in the heart of Downtown Tampa. It sits in the William F. Poe Plaza and offers beautiful downtown views along with a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant may be small, but it makes a big impact on food options and flavor. I ordered the steamed dumplings topped with garlic oil and scallions. Served hot, the dumplings were tender and flavorful with every bite. The pork filling was well-seasoned, and the dipping sauce added just the right amount of flavor. This appetizer disappeared before I even realized I had eaten them all! So, whenever you're in the Downtown area and looking for a quick bite, check out On a Roll Sushi. #DowntownTampa #TampaEats #OnARollSushi #DumplingLove #FoodieFinds #LunchWithAView read more

One of my new years resolutions/fun goals for myself was to take go out to eat sushi more. I was so happy I came here! The food was excellent and I was determined to have a feast! There were so many options to choose from, but I was not disappointed with the rolls I got. Everything came out so fast, I was very impressed. Even with to-go orders and other people coming in for lunch. Though, I love using chopsticks, I thought it was nice that regular silverware is also available and handy for those unfamiliar or inexperienced with doing so. I appreciated the art work on the walls and made it a point to rub the lucky cat! read more

This is the best since I ever had in mind you were from Texas. Rocking Roll $8.95 with added Cream Cheese $1.00! Fantastic. I would also like to say that I have a one year-old toddler and they were able to make her chicken broth with rice and veggies on the side, very healthy and she loved it. read more

I tried On a Roll Sushi in downtown Tampa as it seemed like a popular spot for takeout. I ordered a teriyaki chicken bento box to go which came with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, ginger salad, miso soup, 1 egg roll, and a 4 piece California roll. Honestly, a lot of food for just $15, including tax. It wasn't the best bento box I've ever had, but the portion size was very large for the price. I'd be curious to try out their other menu items! read more

On A Roll Sushi - Teriyaki chicken bento box (miso soup and eggroll not shown) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place is a little hidden spot. It's quiet but newly renovated so it looks amazing. It's a unique Thai place but worth checking out as it is pretty fairly priced and located close to many of the river walk hotels. Two things to be aware of: check their online menu before you go in or go in and grab a menu and sit and review it before standing up to order. The menu is massive and has a bunch of different things to try. I did not try the sushi burrito this time but very well may go back before my trip ends to try it tomorrow. Second: they do not have any fountain drinks. It's all bottles or their brewed drinks. You can't miss by doing their green Thai tea. It was FANTASTIC. The sushi was good and fresh but the soup was probably my favorite menu item. I love it. While it seems that would be an easy thing to make, there was something absolutely different about their lemongrass. It stood out in this dish but in a good way. I don't think I left so much as a drop in my bowl. The service is amazing. The staff delivered everything as it was made. The attendant at the register gave me several pointers (and knew the menu very well considering they just redid it) and was extremely courteous. read more

Great sushi! Ordering was super easy and my sushi was prepared quickly. I was happy that I chose to get sushi from here

I ordered 2 veggie rolls and a Thai tea. They put in the order as egg rolls then realized the mistake and charged again. When I mentioned the overcharge they tried to explain that was just the cost..which doesn't match the menu prices. When my roll came out it was a very large portion and tasted good. The Thai tea with boba was delicious. About 1/4 of the way through my rolls I noticed a piece of fish on my veggie roll, I pushed that one to the side as I am a vegetarian and went to eat another. Which I then spotted another piece of fish on it. That drew the line, I lost my appetite and stopped eating. The worker offered me another roll and said "oh you know things happen on the cutting board." I denied another roll and he still brought me one. Which I did not eat because I will not risk eating fish in a veggie roll due to cross contamination. read more

Was looking for some sushi for lunch while in town for work. On a Roll was within walking distance, so I put in an online order and headed over! It's located in a sort of office building-plaza, but was easy to find on foot. The staff were very kind and worked quickly to get my order completed when they realized that there had been a glitch and my order hadn't printed. I got the Rocking Roll and Downtown Roll - both were excellent. Clearly fresh ingredients and freshly made, amazing savory flavors. The Downtown Roll was my favorite, though. Served warm, with salmon, avocado, cream cheese.. amazing! Oh, and there's a really cute area just outside the restaurant where you can take your food and eat, if you want to enjoy a beautiful day! Plenty of trees overhanging as well, so there's a good amount of shaded seating. read more

Great sushi, inside and outside eating. Quick and friendly service. Plus I enjoyed the music they had playing.

This hidden gem in Tampa was a good find. Located on the lower floor f a parking garage, makes finding it a little troublesome. But worth the hunt. I had the Rockin Roll - which was basically a large California roll with added shrimp tempura inside with sweet eel sauce. Yummy!!!! Large roll meaning it was estimate 3-3.5" diameter roll with ten pieces. Next I had the spicy tuna roll, nice balance of tasting the fresh ahi as well as their spicy. Nicely done and again ten piece roll. Also had the fried pork gyoza, which came out screaming hot and tasty. Got to say, for a hard to find joint it was so worth it. For sure got to go back to this joint. read more

What a relief! This was the perfect spot for a more affordable, but still delicious, lunch in the downtown Tampa area. A big menu with lots of sushi, bowl, rolls, apps, bento, and more. Including, the coolest option, a create your own roll option! It's an order at counter type place. Not a lot of drink options unless you want boba teas. Otherwise it's bottled drinks which is still great! Affordable, delicious and in a cute little area near a Streetcar Station. read more

Overall 4/5 I got a poke bowl with tempura shrimp and fish. I personally really liked the tempura shrimp and fish. The sauce was a little heavy because the rice soaked up all the sauce. The seaweed salad was good! I thought they gave us very few options for toppings. I only get 2 vegetables and some sesame seeds on rice. Other poke places gives you a couple more toppings than that. The place is a little small but clean. The employees were nice! Maybe I'll try something else next time read more

The BEST sushi in town, I discovered this place years ago and now I can't stop going or asking them to cater my parties and events. They are extremely friendly with a very big menu with plenty of delicious options, their sushi roll proportions are big and packed with flavor, their appetizers are amazing and I can't thank them enough for such excellent food and service every single time. I've gotten catering for 400 pieces and they never miss, thank you guys. Will always come back! Their place is super cozy but you also have the versatility of asking for the food to go and sit around downtown, great option! read more

I sure would love to eat here one day but every time I show up they're closed! The first time I went I trusted the hours of operation on Yelp and google which are dead wrong. Second time I went straight to the source and checked the Onarollsushiandthai.com website which stated they are open from noon to 6pm on Saturdays. Wrong again!! Apparently they are closed on weekends since I'm standing in front of the closed restaurant on a Saturday at 1p writing this review. Very frustrating!! read more

Came in for late afternoon meal. "Tom and Jerry" roll with miso soup was exactly right for that time of day. Owner personally made roll and was a good conversationalist. Would go again. read more

extremely unfriendly, have no manners or respect for customers, the ginger was extremely disrespectful and rude.

Overall this is 3.5 stars, but Yelp hasn't offered that option. I'll start with the most important part: the food is EXCELLENT. 5 of 5 stars. They use fresh product and make it right when you order. I have had the rainbow roll and three of a kind poke bowl. Both are delicious, although the prices are high for the amount of food you get. The roll was $13 and I was left needing more. Think Yelp should move this restaurant to "$$". One of the positives is they have SOOOOO many things on the menu there is something for everyone, even those who don't like sushi. Service: Order at the register, pay and sit down. For some they brought the food to their table. For some reason mine was called out. The order also took a really long time because there were two people making plates and a large table of about ten people had previously ordered. Part way through the meal it was noticed there were only 2 of 3 meats in the bowl. I had to go to the register to let them know and they brought out a plate of tuna. They also don't check on anyone during the meal (which is to be expected from a place where you order at the register). I'd give service a 2 of 5. This would be a good alternative before attending an event at Amalie Arena when the nearby Hattricks is packed. Just be cognizant of how many people are waiting for their food and don't order if you are on a hurry. I am rounding to a four star rating and will zero in better after my next visit. read more

This place is where it's at if you're looking for a great sushi roll in the downtown area of Tampa. It has a nice menu of a variety of good Asian eats. I'm picky when it comes to sushi and this place has it going on. The ambiance is cute and I love that they have pictures of the sushi rolls to help you see what you're ordering versus picturing the item on your own. I would recommend getting there before lunch hour or during dinner time to avoid a long wait. read more

I came here during my vacation/trip when it was pouring rain. I didn't plan to come in, but the rain wouldn't stop so I stopped by in to grab some food. I ordered the poke bowl, three of a kind. It was tasty and fresh! I like the sriracha mayo sauce that came with it! The presentation of the poke bowl was also very lovely. This is a cute mom and pop shop :-) I also didn't know the weather would be pouring out like crazy. The owner was really nice and offered me a free umbrella!

I work in the Downtown Tampa area and was rooting for this place to be my go to lunch place. I ordered it for pick up and it done pretty quickly. Unfortunately the food and presentation was underwhelming. This was probably the worst sushi I have had. It was room temperature and tasted old and dry. I got the sexy roll and there was nothing sexy about it. I put a ton of soy sauce on it to be able to eat it which made it worse because it just tasted like salt. There was almost wasabi in the box but it was all over the outside of it. I also got a ginger salad which delish! read more
