Popped into this location after a random search and a craving for poke. Glad I came in! The spicy tuna was fresh and the ingredients were all very clean looking and organized in the cooler case. The flavors were great! I built my own bowl with brown rice, spicy tuna, spicy mayo, spice sauce, cucumbers, jalapeños, shredded nori, fried onions, cucumbers and edamame. 9/10! read more

This place was conveniently located within walking distance of where I was staying and decided to give some local spots a try and this one ended up being an excellent choice. Tons of options from the bowls and burritos and enough appetizer options to be a whole separate meal. The staff was amazing and helped me decide the best options based on what I was looking to get. The crab Rangoon were next level and paired well with my Hawaiian sushi burrito with the taro boba being the perfect thing to wash it all down. If you are in the area then check out this spot tucked away in the corner of the shopping mall. read more

I think this is an above average poke place for Tampa. Service is fast, and the location is new, so it feels clean. I had the Aloha bowl. I thought it was full of vegetables, maybe a little heavy on the rice, and with decent seafood (a huge serving of imitation crab, two chopped up and still crispy tempura shrimp). The portion size was good. I couldn't quite finish my bowl for lunch, and it kept me sated until the end of the work day. They definitely were heavy on the yummy sauce. Luckily, I found their sauce inoffensive, unlike many other places that use too much salt or sugar. I liked that you could build your own bowl or burrito. They also offer up boba drinks, but I didn't try any on that visit. There's plenty of parking in the private lot. All in all, this is a fine place for a starch and veggie heavy meal on the west side of south South Tampa. read more

Omg! This place is amazing! I'm honestly grateful to know that this place exists and it's close by. The food is delicious. I ordered the customized bowl with the spicy salmon, tuna, and regular tuna. Everything tasted perfectly. I ordered the brown rice as a base with cucumber and carrots. The eel and the spicy sauce hit the spot as a finishing touch with some masago as a garnish. I would say this place is one of my favorite poke places in Tampa Bay. I'm picky when it comes to finding what I like and this spot is by far a winner winner chicken dinner. The service was quick and the people working there were friendly. The ambiance was cute and the establishment looked clean. I will definitely be coming back for more! read more

One of my favorite Poke spots! I have been going here for probably close to a year now. Great customer service always. The owners are almost always there making sure customers are taken care of. The fish and ingredients are fresh every time. I have been to some places where the fish smells funky, never experienced that here. I have celiac disease and I normally get all the options with out sauce, I have never had issues getting sick. They also give you a good portion! The sushi burritos are the bomb!

I've only had beef cheeks one other time, at LeRoy and Lewis in Austin, but I have to give Danny's the edge. They were unbelievably tender, literally melt in your mouth, with incredible flavor. The Wagyu Dino Rib was every bit as impressive. It was absolutely massive with a beautiful bark, the perfect amount of smoke, and so tender it practically fell apart. Of course I couldn't leave without some brisket, and it was just as outstanding as always. I had the chance to chat with Danny, and he and his team are some of the nicest people you'll meet.

The bartender greeted me immediately and introduced himself, and in no time at all I had a delicious limoncello spritz in front of me. Inside the restaurant everything was sleek, clean, and bright, and the jazz piped in from the live music outside added the perfect ambiance. I had made reservations, so we were sat exactly at our time. I highly recommend making reservations because this place filled up quickly and stayed busy the entire time we were there. Our very friendly and knowledgeable server let us order off of the happy hour menu, so my friends and I split a variety of items. First - bread with the 3 dips - you absolutely must get this. Second - fried zucchini balls. While I did like them, I wish they were smaller so the inside was a little more cooked. Third - Creamy Tomato Vodka Pasta - yummy with a bit of kick! This was my favorite food item. Fourth - Queen Stella Margherita pizza. Surprisingly, this was my least favorite item. We got it thin-crust, and while it looked good, it was served completely cold, and the flavor can only be described as cardboard-like. I would definitely try another pizza here, but not this one. My friends also split an order of meatballs, which they loved. While they had wine for dessert, I had a piece of limoncello cake for dessert. It was fantastically lemony and moist, which I loved. Their parking lot is valet only, but fortunately you only have to pay the $6 fee Fri-Sun, so we just had to tip the very friendly valet.

All of the servers I've experienced are very friendly. They have many different kinds of tea also, but I haven't tried any yet. They all look really tasty and you can add different toppings to customize your tea. The egg rolls are a favorite for me and my husband- they're so delicious & crispy. We order it with siracha & soy sauce instead of the sauce it comes with- simply just a personal preference. I usually get the Spicy Tuna Avocado salad but they don't always have it. (which I'm ok with because they make sure the tuna is fresh) I have gotten the shrimp and mushroom rice platter before and it is very tasty as well. My husband loves their Bahn Mi sandwiches- he tries a different one every time and always is very satisfied! If you are in downtown Tampa, I would suggest you definitely check out Fusion Bowl. Many different options and very fresh and delicious.

Sauces are many in variety with my favorite being a combo of spicy mayo with house blend. Team is friendly and helpful. Portions are great sizes leaving you full. Only downside to this place is the hours and parking. They are only open for lunch M-F. Parking can be tight since they share a small space with Smoothie King. There is some residential parking where you can park but lately it's been under construction. Wish this place was open for much longer but it can be if we continue to support this local business.

I ordered a large poke bowl with so many toppings I can't even remember lol. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I had to stop myself from eating it all lol. I also ordered the fruit bowl and it was good too. It wasn't fresh fruit like an acai bowl, but that's okay. It was still really refreshing and made the meal even better. I definitely recommend this spot!!!

We actually found this gem right here on Yelp -- and wow, did it deliver. We arrived right at 5 PM when they opened for dinner. The hostess asked if we had a reservation (we didn't), but graciously offered us seats at the bar with the understanding that we could wrap up by 5:45 due to a 6:00 reservation. Totally reasonable -- and honestly, more than enough time for us to enjoy every bite. We kicked things off with the crab rangoon (6-8 pieces, but who's counting?). They came out hot and crispy with that perfectly warm, cheesy center. We devoured them in record time. Absolute must-try. Now let's talk sushi. Everything that hit our table was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. I ordered the Bluzilla Roll and let me tell you... PERFECTION. Each bite was balanced, flavorful, and satisfying. I was genuinely sad when I realized I had eaten my last piece -- that kind of sad where you consider ordering it all over again. The restaurant itself is small, but it's the details for me -- attentive service, thoughtful presentation, and quality that speaks for itself. Next time I'm in Tampa, they are definitely at the top of my list.

I just wish they had a bigger, nicer outdoor seating area given how popular they are. Still, definitely worth it.

It's so hard to find good sushi in Tampa Bay and this place exceeded my expectations! I drove all…read morethe way from downtown St Pete on a IG recommendation (that's how little good options you have in this area unfortunately) and I was not disappointed. The staff and owner were very friendly and personable and the food was even better! I ordered the gyoza (this is fried and the filling is an in-house recipe pork filling, might be different from your regular gyoza but still yummy and worth trying), and had the Nigiri Flight which was amazing! I'll let the picture speak for itself, but you need to come in and try it for yourself. The fish was fresh and each one was better than the other. I even loved the tamago (which they prepare in house) and I normally am not a fan of it. All the nigiri were well sized and super filling, I could have done without the dumplings and the salad, and still would have been more than satisfied. The place is also very well decorated and styled, I truly think they hit all the points with food, service, and ambience. You can tell the owner puts his heart and soul into this place and it shows in the food and your time there. It was a very pleasant experience and I am so happy to have found Isekai!

Fantastic lunch here on a recent visit to Tampa for business…read more As a Los Angeles resident who has spent 1/2 my time in Hawaii for work, I am an acclaimed sushi snob. I was excited by the great reviews on Yelp -- and was so happy that this place lived up to the hype! The fish was excellent -- fresh, well cut, super tasty. The toro was rich and delicious, the salmon and snapper fresh and pure, and as noted by others, the seasoned sushi rice with the accoutrements in the bowl (seaweed salad, thinly sliced pickled radish and carrot, and masago) made for an elevated lunch. I really appreciated the flexibility and options around my celiac disease (sushi can be tough because of the wheat in most soy sauce) -- including the kind note they attached saying the subbed some extra toro and masago for the Iburi which had been marinated in soy sauce. Lastly, I usually much prefer to eat-in for sushi (a sushi bar is my 2nd home), but really appreciate the details they put into the Uber Eats takeout package -- dressed it nice with shiso leaf and shaved radish AND have it all placed on little ice packs to keep the fish cold on their commute from the Chef's Knife to my belly. Great experience overall.

They have a wonderful array of salads, soups, market plates to enjoy - all super fresh and healthy. Even with the emergence of spots like Sweetgreens, Cava and of course, long time fave Fresh Kitchen, Tampa has needed a place like Just Salad to bring home one of the best salad joints - they beat out the competition with their wide variety of toppings to choose from and I just find their food the freshest of the fresh. To celebrate my first visit, I bought a new Just Salad bowl (one free topping every time you bring it in!) and have been back several times to reacquaint myself with my old salad friend. This spot in South Tampa is busy at lunch, but pretty quiet at dinner time. Looking forward to many return visits for a healthy, quick meal! I hear there are more locations on the way, which will make it easy for me to enjoy Just Salad no matter where I am in Tampa Bay. :) See you again soon, Just Salad!

Parking was easy and the inside is a spacious casual dining area where you can sit and watch after you order your food at the register in the back.

I ordered a protein forward acai bowl and a fresh immunity shot, which is pre-bottled and available in their drink cooler. My friend ordered a few hot items to take home to her husband for lunch. The food came out quickly since my friend and I were the only ones there, and my acai bowl was yummy and topped with almonds and peanut butter. You can't go wrong! We were able to linger there and chat and it was a comfortable space with cute decor. I can definitely see myself stopping back in for a fresh juice again soon.
