    Origami Roll
    Meghan T.

    I've been to Origami Sushi numerous times because it's a great place to get a quick takeout meal. Their happy hour pricing is unbeatable and their lunch special is also a great deal. Happy hour is daily from 4-7 pm. My favorite roll is the volcano roll which has a delicious baked salmon ball on top. Very filling and only $11.95 during happy hour. The white hot roll is also a great option with spicy tuna and jalapeño. The third roll we got was the Origami roll. I wasn't in love with this roll. The end pieces with a bigger portion of shrimp tempura were better but the middle bites were just okay. A great place to get filling sushi for a good deal! Not a super high quality sushi place but definitely satisfies the craving.

    I got to try Origami through DoorDash back i August when I was in town for a vacation. I ordered the crunchy roll which is usually a pretty good go to. Unfortunately, the eel was tough and dry. The roll itself wasn't very flavorful. Also ordered the black dragon roll, it was okay. Not bad but not great. I'm not sure if my experience with the food wasn't the best because it was a to go order or not. I order sushi to go a lot and have never really had any issues. I must say, the rolls looked incredible though!!! I'm thinking it was just an off day.

    Tuna Tartare
    Ngoc L.

    Sushi and sashimi is fresh and delicious! It is pricey which is normal for sushi, but I recommend ordering from lunch menu. Tuna tartar is okay. Service is good and the food came pretty quick.

    Good service - clean environment - sushi is good ... overall I came in on a Sunday evening with my kids for dinner. Our favorite is the " Scorched Earth " & Tempura Ice Cream !!!

    Chicken Teriyaki
    Kameron C.

    One of the neat finds around Tampa for sushi. The location is in an unassuming shopping plaza but the chef offers an incredible amount of choices for all of your sushi taste buds. The fish is fresh and the portions are large. I personally like the raw salmon the best but the others had some great flavors including the chicken teriyaki dish and eel cucumber roll. If you want to venture out for a good option for lunch or dinner, I recommend Origami's!

    Cute and cozy

    AMAZING FOOD !! WOW ! We loved it! The food was amazing our server was very nice and answered all of our questions they have a full menu and everyone with any eating preference can enjoy something. I was amazed by the taste of each and every plate. All the fish was very very fresh and each roll had the perfect combination for the pallet. You can tell everything has been very well thought out. We will be back next time we are in town! New favorite sushi spot !

    Yuki roll
    Billy V.

    Sushi is one of my top 5 categories that I review/eat on Yelp. That being said the sushi here disappointed very badly. As of 05/23 a roll that cost $12.5 and tastes like this should be considered a scam. This place is not authentic first off. I shouldve known better if you eat sushi you can tell if it's good or not just based off the rice ratio and how it's rolled. Obviously these rolls are off, first red flag I shouldve looked closer at. No big deal, however the taste of the yuki roll was so bland. The spicy tuna had no taste and the shrimp tempura inside was just crunch and I got a hint of banana for some reason it was gross. The volcano roll was just a bunch of toppings thrown together and was also bland. Service was good. Called my order in and picked it up on time. Inside was kinda beat down with a radio playing music that kept cutting on and off. Definitely not coming back. Shouldve done my own research more before stopping by. Shame on people leaving 4 to 5 star reviews on here. My standards are set much higher eating at places that have Japanese chefs. If you eat Wegmans or Publix sushi. You'll definitely think this is 10 stars and this is the place for you.

    Soft Shell Crab
    Ji C.

    I went to Origami on Hillsborough Ave for lunch with a group of coworkers, and we definitely made the most of it--we ordered a little bit of everything, and it was well worth it! We started with a round of appetizers, including takoyaki, soft shell crab, krab meat rangoons, edamame, and vegetable tempura. Each one came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside with a gooey, savory center, and the soft shell crab had a perfect crunch without being greasy. For the main course, we shared a few dishes: the beef bento box, a couple of sushi rolls, and a bowl of ramen. The beef in the bento box was tender and well-seasoned, and the sushi rolls were fresh and beautifully presented. The ramen was a hit too--rich broth, chewy noodles, and flavorful toppings that made it comforting and satisfying. Even with all the sharing, we still had plenty of leftovers--no complaints, since that meant lunch for the next day was taken care of! Overall, the service was friendly, the portions were generous, and everything we tried was delicious. We'd definitely go back--great spot for a casual lunch with a big menu to explore.

    Mexican Roll, Magic Roll, and King Kong roll
    Cindi J.

    I love coming here for sushi. My favorites are the rose roll, Tampa roll, and Mexican roll. They are fast and always friendly. Nice ambiance. One of my favorite spots!

    Volcano Roll and Dragon Roll
    Skye N.

    My aunt and I stopped here for dinner one night after my daughter's dance class and this was a great quick-bite. I wouldn't put this in my top sushi spots, but the food wasn't terrible or anything. The volcano roll wasn't exactly what I expected, the crab mix on top was a little strange compared to all the volcano rolls I've had at other restaurants. The service was great though, our server was very friendly and my aunt had a million and one questions (this is typical lol) and he was very patient and kind throughout. I didn't feel like he was super knowledgeable about the menu, he had to step over to the sushi bar and get the answers for us pretty frequently, but I think he might've been a newer employee. Regardless, everyone was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself is a small space, it wasn't very noisy or crowded when we went so that was nice. Our server did mention that the pictures we were looking at on the menu weren't the restaurants pictures, so some of what we were seeing on the menu and asking about came off as a little misleading - again, I think he was newer so I'm not sure about the accuracy of this statement, but that did throw us for a loop lol I wouldn't mind stopping through here again, if we're in the area and hungry - but I also wouldn't go out of my way to come back. The sushi quality just needs a bit of improvement.

    Cucumber Roll

    Ya'll like seriously. What is this? I asked for cucumber rolls, no yum yum, teriyaki, and wasabi. This looks very different...

    Seaweed Salad
    Samantha E.

    We visited Origami Sushi on a Friday evening around 5:15 during the restaurants nightly happy hour. We got on of the last tables in the small restaurant. We were seated quickly and our server came over quickly to get our drink order and give us menus. We spent some time checking out the menu because they have a lengthy list of specialty sushi rolls and so many of them are on the happy hour menu. Most of the specialty rolls on the happy hour menu cost around $11. We ended up ordered the seaweed salad and three specialty rolls. The seaweed salad come out quickly and the portion was generous. It was also a good standard seaweed salad. We did wait a while for the sushi rolls. I was excited to try them when they finally arrived but unfortunately none of them were great or flavorful. I'm not confident they used the fish described on the menu but I I'm not certain. If you just want sushi and quantity this place will die just fine. Definitely not the best sushi in town.

    Hawaii Roll
    Valentina E.

    The food was good but wasn't great. The mango fusion roll had giant cut pieces so it was difficult to eat, I also didn't realize it was fully fried. Hawaii roll was good and simple. It would be better if the pineapple was inside the roll as the pineapple easily falls off the top when dipping, both had a spicy sauce that I didn't realize came on the roll. Edamame was good but it came with a heap of salt in the middle, we used the discard bowl to shake it up. Miso soup was good in flavor but barely had any seaweed. Service was timely, the person at the front was kind and we had no wait. Our meal was good but I feel could have used a bit more attention to detail.

My partner got the spicy tonkatsu and I had wanted to do the "make your own ramen" option. I really wanted wagyu but didn't like the toppings it came with. So I just made my own, though it was very costly to add more toppings, so I just chose 2. Overall, the experience was okay.

There's not really anyone working the front counter, which I thought was interesting. There's picnic tables out front where people were sitting with their dogs, so appears to be pet friendly outside. I had the curry with tofu and vegetables. I ordered spicy and enjoyed it. The heat kind of creeps up on you. I will order this again. BF had the chicken katsu - the chanko sauce was so good on it. The pickled daikon is a great touch, and if you like pickled veggies, that tiger slaw is AMAZING. We ordered a small plum wine to split. Portion sizes are HUGE, so I appreciated that everything was served in to-go containers. We definitely had leftovers that I may or may not have eaten for breakfast this morning. One thing I felt could be improved is that it's a little warm inside. Clearly they know that because there were fans on the counter. It's Florida and it's summer and their kitchen is busy in a small space, so probably the A/C is just a little overwhelmed. Great place overall.

She checked in on the table the right amount of times to ensure we had everything we needed without hovering. The dining room is small and cozy.

After three decades, the consistency, quality, and service are exactly why we keep coming back.

As for the food itself, it was average at best, and for the price, it simply wasn't worth it. The fish didn't taste particularly fresh, and the amount of time it took for a single hand roll to come out was excessive. The quality and service just didn't justify the cost. And don't even get me started on the soy sauce droppers. Requiring customers to handle and repeatedly squeeze shared droppers at the table felt unnecessarily unsanitary and off-putting. Especially in a place serving handrolls. Overall, between the slow service, lack of hospitality, cramped seating, questionable table-side condiments, and underwhelming food, I can't recommend this place. There are plenty of other options where you'll get better value and a more welcoming experience.
