Our waiter gave us a hot towel that arose at the touch of water which helped clean our hands. Both the chef and the waiter were very nice and funny. The music was Japanese American music with a Japanese guitar. The food was great with such a great show (watch your eyebrows). The seats were okay not much leg room for me. The tiles and wood paneling were smooth as can be, great! The bathrooms were special. The walls had black and dark grey tilling with a red skip every other skip. Nice toilets clean grounds clean sinks. Clear mirrors. The design on the walls were epic. All around great! Definitely recommend.

The service is super attentive, without being bothersome and the inside was clean and really cute with nice touches, like chop sticks tucked into the napkin fold.

Will definitely be back to Kitsune to try some other menu offerings!

Three solid eaters worked hard to knock Kuchi on its side today - one who runs ten miles a day, another who does recreational weight lifting and yours truly. The layout and display of sushi at Kuchi is attractive. Super easy raw fish to load up on plates including oysters, shrimp, nigiri rolls, maki rolls and so much more. And that's just the sushi area. They also have a section of cooked hibachi and Chinese buffet styled foods. I definitely ate my fill. All of it fresh, tasty and plenty of it. A real delight.

I feel I wasted my money and Fake pictures of "their food" on the walls and the website?? Very misleading. Very confusing. Eel sauce and spicy mayo = disgusting, inedible, literally lost my appetite after I ate them. Miso soup too. Everything just tasted old and rancid. I literally got sick after eating... my stomach was tore up. Hibachi super mid, no flavor. Dry. Overcooked proteins. Supposedly there's a new menu coming out this Friday? Then will they be serving the pictures on the wall and on the website? Maybe invite my friend and I back for this "new menu" and I could write a hopefully updated review. Service was good so still gave her 20% tip because it's not her fault the food was absolutely terrible and made us sick...

The staff are also very attentive and helpful, especially when I ordered for the first time and was overwhelmed with the options. It's fun to watch the food cook and to add some bbq sauce for extra flavor. The jumbo portion of the beef is generally enough for me and my girlfriend to share, and we both love this spot.

I wish they'd offer a bib, I guess you could always make one out of a napkin. Like the name alludes, I've only dined for lunch + every time it's slow with only a few occupied tables. It's even minimally staffed. They might be more popular for takeout, though I'm not sure how that works. Overall, the food is pretty good + it's medium-sized portions, just enough to (hopefully) leave you satisfied. What I Ordered: - Curry Karaage: I like that the curry isn't beef based (instead soy + wheat), tender chicken, wish it came with a veggie other than corn + onion - kimchi chicken: quite spicy kimchi building as you continue

The hostess was really nice & we were initially told it would be about a 35 minute wait, in actuality we waited a little over 10 minutes before we were seated which was fantastic! The server & the chef were both great & we both really enjoyed our time. The server made sure we had everything we needed before the chef came out, & the chef was very entertaining during the whole experience. I got a beer & a glass of plum wine & my daughter got one of the boba drinks. The onion soup & the house salad tasted great, I also got the Tuna Tataki as an appetizer. The tuna was fresh & the seaweed salad underneath paired great with the sauce, definitely going to get that again. For our main courses I did the sirloin & teriyaki chicken, & my daughter did the sirloin & shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly & the chef did not skimp on the portions, we had plenty leftover to bring home afterwards.

Since my original review, there has definitely been a noticeable improvement here. There must have…read morebeen a change in chefs or management because the sashimi cuts are now much larger, and in some cases almost oversized compared to before. Some sushi items still lean a little heavy on the rice, but you can easily balance that out by ordering sashimi instead. They have also expanded the menu quite a bit recently, which was a pleasant surprise. The standout addition for me is the sea scallop. It is seriously good and has become one of my favorite things to order here. I usually end up getting several portions of it. They also added amaebi sweet shrimp, though the pieces are a little on the smaller side. Other additions worth mentioning are the crab rangoon, which I definitely recommend, along with torched salmon and a coconut shrimp specialty roll. Overall, I am really enjoying the newer fish cuts and expanded add on selections. In my opinion, it is a tremendous upgrade from where they were before. Overall ambiance remains the same, but there's no need to change anything there as the food and service speaks for itself.

I took my friend here for endless sushi to celebrate her birthday and it didn't disappoint. Easily 8.5/10 sushi (I'm a picky grader) and you really can't beat the quality for the price -- incredible fresh and diverse all you can eat sushi with appetizers and desserts?! They offer a wide range of signature and classic rolls -- raw and cooked -- and other small appetizery dishes, like edamame, gyoza, shumai, tempura and fried rice. the desserts are worth saving room for! A few things I recommend: - raw rolls: perpetual love roll, paint Lady roll, mexican roll, new york roll A must try if you're in the mood for AYCE sushi -- definitely some of the best in Tampa Bay.
