While this restaurant is well known for its sweet desserts, I decided to try their bento box for…read morethe first time -- specifically the chicken bento box -- and I was pleasantly surprised. The box came well-assembled: white rice topped with teriyaki chicken, garnished with rice seasoning, a side of noodles also seasoned with rice seasoning, a salad with dressing, and two pieces of fried gyoza. The gyoza were the highlight for me -- crispy and quite good. Overall, the ensemble made for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. Simple, decent, and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The ambiance is where this place really adds some personality. One corner of the restaurant is dedicated to DIY painting activities, making it a great spot for creative types or families. On the other side, there are claw machines for those feeling lucky enough to win a stuffed toy. It gives the place a lively, playful energy that sets it apart from your average dining spot. Service was good. All in all, a fun place for an easy, enjoyable meal

First thing I noticed walking in was the painting pottery corner??? So precious. Looks like…read moresometimes they have figured you can paint and there's a whole section of DIY paint materials. Very cute addition. Makes it more of a "third place" vibe. Three claw machines at $1/play is dangerous too. I might have to try for a gengar. I got the iced latte and it was over $8 for a regular size which is wild but this is a dessert spot, not a cafe, so I'm not mad at it. It's very creamy. Tastes like melted ice cream (not a bad or good thing). Plan on trying dessert another time.

I got the Uni sushi and it was the sweetest and the creamiest thing I've ever had. The server told me that they get fresh Uni every week from Japan. I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind. She tried her best to cater us such as substitute my sushi she was talking to us and she's very likable. We will definitely come back and try other things. The Whole place was very clean and big.

Lol took about half an hour for it to be safe for her to eat. Cute presentation but order some side stuff whole it cools. Couldn't do dessert this time, due to my dieting i have trained my body to eat very little and high protein meals. Today was my cheat day. On the path of Keto. Sht works just trust the process. Guaranteed -1-2lbs a weeks 0-50 carbs a day n it just falls off by itself. 2+ if working out. I will be coming back later since im working more now that i can and om usually around here after work. I can just eat just the fish n side salads it be bueno. ***Would love to see a keto roll like; substitute the rice for riced cauliflower. The madam that had use was nice n attentive. very pleasant. It was nice and dimed but the music kept the other guest also happy. I am so glad this establishment is prospering cuz i really like their food a lot.

We our table was ready we walked inside they had to wait a little longer for someone to clean it so they gave the kids some fish food to feed the fish. Once we were seated our waitress greeted us and got our drink and food orders in. She was super helpful the whole time. Our chef was super fun in the beginning we were having a good time and then all of a sudden he was silent the rest of the time. He played all the food and did ask what we did and didn't want and tasted pretty good. I ordered sushi as well but wasn't a fan of the tuna it tasted like it had been sat out. Overall a good experience for flavor you definitely get a lot of food for your money.

I am so glad I made a reservation here early, it was so busy! Granted this was the Saturday night…read morebefore Mother's Day so many families were out celebrating. It was just my Mom and I and we were seated at a hibachi table with 2 other parties. Our chef was amazing! I have been to many Kobe locations and he was THE BEST. He was extremely personable, funny, and had great tricks. He seasoned the food really well and made sure everyone was full on sauces. He really made the meal spectacular. This was my mom's first visit to Kobe and she only had Benihana to compare it to. She was impressed by the portion sizes and the fact that you also got noodles with the meal inside of just rice. We both ordered the shrimp hibachi meals and they were great. We both had so many leftovers to take home and have another full meal the following day. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was the extreme rushed feeling the servers provided. Each course was brought so fast and more off putting was the fact that after the chef barely finished cooking, they were bringing to go boxes to box up our food. It made it hard to enjoy the meal and company. I understand moving groups due to many reservations but this was too much.

Every bite tasted fresh, like the ingredients were prepped with intention and not just thrown together. Our server was genuinely friendly, the kind of person who makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Great energy, great attitude, it added so much to the experience. The restaurant itself is spotless. Clean tables, clean floors, clean atmosphere. You can tell they care about presentation and comfort just as much as the food. If you're in Tampa and want a place with big portions, fresh food, warm service, and a clean environment, Luang's Bistro is absolutely worth stopping by.

Hot & sour soup was more like sweet & hint of sour soup... we asked for vinegar to help give more sour.. the bowl was big- we had 4.5 smalls bowls of soup from it (also- doesnt come w green onions so must ask for it and no condiments on the table- so need to ask for pepper too). The decoration is really nice, I forgot what it was before but they kept the kitchen the same .. so overall- nice ambiance. Our server was good, she came back numerous times to check on us.

The first time was the all you can eat sushi and sashimi dinner which was fabulous. This last time I had the all you can eat lunch, which had less options but still was great. With the all you can eat, they have appetizers, soups, salads, tempura, fried rice and teriyaki in addition to the sushi. I have to say, I really loved the dinner and I liked the lunch. 5 star service, ambiance is 3 star mainly because they aggressively clean the tables, so there is always some commotion. Dinner was 5 stars and lunch was 4 stars. Overall though, still 5 stars. Just beware, if you don't finish your food, they will charge you ala cart prices. And starting 9/1/2026 you can either do all you can eat or ala cart per table.

Instead I had a sushi roll and shared an order of fried rice and chicken katsu. Everything was great. The chicken was crispy, but not dry on the inside. Fried rice has a nice flavor and wasn't overwhelmed with vegetables and other ingredients. My roll was great too. I can't recall which one it was but it had shrimp tempura eel sauce and spicy mayo. The shrimp was crisp, the sauces complemented well and I really enjoyed them. The restaurant itself is not huge as you can see from the attached pic, but the booths are still comfortable and spacious.
