Our server was Vicky she was awesome. The sushi was so probably the best that I've had in Florida. I do recommend this restaurant it's great. read more

This place was a life saver....I'm so thankful it stays open late! Did a search for open restaurants and it was open until 11pm. Cam here one night after a workout around 10:15 pm and the service and food were great. They have several veggie roll options which is great! Our to go order was fresh and made to order. Also the prices are pretty decent. I wish this restaurant was in Tampa beverage we'd definitely come back more often read more

I love this place! The food is good, the ambiance is standard, the decor is good and the staff do their best to please you. The variety of menu options is great. My only issue is the batter used on the tempura shrimp ( it is too hard and crunchy)! They definitely avoid wasted food by minimizing the portion sizes but it doesn't matter as this is an all you can eat establishment, and you can always order more! Overall, this is definitely a must do restaurant. read more

Enjoyed some really fabulous takeaway from here a few days after thanksgiving when were sick of cooking and meat LOL. Kudos to this place maintaining freshness and presentation even through their delivery options. My grandmother isn't comfortable eating out right now so our sushi arriving how it would in the restaurant was a real treat for her. Thank you Sushi Ushi! We had the Love Boat for 2 and a sushi sashimi combo for a group of 3 to split and had leftovers. I LOVE that the combos didn't come with boring rolls like plain tuna or California. Ushi spiced it up with a dragon roll and what seemed like oversized spicy tuna rolls. Then your usual, miso soup and ginger salad. We also received a portion of seared ahi tuna, which was a real treat. We appreciated the sliced jalapeños sprinkled throughout the tray also. Don't forget to order a side of spicy Mayo. This spot is doing it right! read more

Love this place. The service is great and the food is good. I recommend you try this out when your in Brandon

This little restaurant packs big flavor. My daughter and I have been here on 3 different occasions and we never leave disappointed. I love the Spider Roll and she loves the California roll. We always get a ginger salad and/or miso soup. Tonight I tried my first real ramen. I got the Tonkatsu ramen which came out in a huge bowl. It only comes with 2 small pieces of pork but you can buy extra. It's so good I highly recommend getting extra! The egg must be cooked in the broth or something else bc it has a flavor I've never had before. The texture was a little rubbery but the flavor was amazing. To finish we both love the mochi ice cream. We've tried both the red bean and green tea flavor. Both were delicious! The service is great and the food comes out fresh and quick. Try it out if you're local! read more

Best sushi is brandon!! My first visit I went with the family and the food was outstanding that we've been back every weekend since. Love the firecracker roll and the Fuji mountain roll. The staff is super friendly and treats every guest like family. The sushi chef has talent and the sushi is always on point. Never had a bad meal here. read more

I can't lie, I really started binging sushi here because of all of the amazing spreads I see while watching anime. I've tried out quite a few places around here and now Sushi Ushi is my go out. During a 2 months of quarantine I must have gotten over 7 huge take out orders. Everything is fantastic. I take advantage of the lunch special and get Steak Hibachi. The steak is so flavorful and tender and the stir-fry vegetables are just delicious. It's also how I discovered miso soup and is a staple in my diet now. So many delicious rolls including the Sunshine and Yum-Yum rolls. Oddly enough, the Ryan roll is one of my faves (I never got it because the name just seems out of place). For apps, the gyoza is solid ( it's a nice tasting pastry that people take for granted) and the chicken tatsu age comes with a nice, spicy side. As long as I live here I'll continue to eat here as I find it to be a satisfying "cheat" meal when I'm not cooking my own food. It's filling, tastes great and unlike processed food I feel great and energized after eating. Worth it! read more

This place is awesome. How Sophia and Derek find themselves in a strip mall in Valrico is surely an interesting story, but you should ask them for yourself. They are both artists and they and their staff create and serve great food. My family has been eating here regularly for a couple of years now and we have selfishly been keeping it to ourselved. But you should go. Sophia is the hostess and the wait staff is always friendly and give the place a great neighborhood atmosphere. Derek mans the sushi bar and my son and I call him AwesomeMan because he is a sushi star. We have eaten sushi all over the world and cannot believe that we get this quality of food and service in Valrico. He always does a the best and just a bit more because he can, and he obviously cares about what he does. The sashimi photo was just on a drop-in Tuesday night. He just likes to have creative fun. The kitchen is just as good. Lunchtime bento boxes are a a steal for the amount and quality of food. My kid loves the seafood fried rice. I don't usually order fried rice because tbh in most places it's just meh, but here the care taken and freshness makes it outstanding. My spouse goes for the tofu golden curry, the scent of which will make your mouth water even for next days leftovers. OK, we obviously love this place. We get treated nice, maybe because we are regulars, but you should be a regular too before they move on to Honolulu or Paris where they belong. read more

Came by for a quick lunch after shopping, glad to see lunch specials on Saturday. We had a Teriyaki Shrimp Bento box and the two roll lunch. Both of our lunches came with salad and soup. The Bento box had rice and California roll. It was very good and filling. The spicey salmon roll was good but not too spicey, the shrimp avacado roll was fair a little bland. We will try the specialty rolls next time. The staff was friendly and attentive, restaurant appeared clean. read more

Delicious food. Wonderful service. They paid attention and answered all of my questions regarding my dietary needs and made sure I ordered menu items that met my needs. So grateful for that, as someone who has to be cautious about eating out so I don't make myself sick accidentally. Would HIGHLY recommend & I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Generous portion of tender pork belly included. read more

Whenever we craved for Japanese cuisine and Sushi, this is the only place that we go to. The staff are very friendly. You will always feel welcome, because as soon as you enter the door, they will greet you and take you to your table. Their food are great. Best sushi place in Brandon. They have different varieties and they are all great and they use fresh ingredients. If you love ramen, you should come here and try their ramen. It's delicious. The pork belly that they put in it is so tender. It would just melt in your mouth. My 3 year old son loves their Chicken teriyaki. This is the only restaurant where he would eat and finish his food. The staff there already know us bec. we go there all the time. I would recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. You come in smiling, you will leave smiling and satisfied too. read more

Did not like - if you're looking for great sushi in the area go to sunflower cafe. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items because everyone has great things to say but we had bad experience with crab Rangoon, and the tuna poke chips. We also did a sushi combo instead of specialty roll so I'd say maybe try those but stay away from the above items! read more

I'm going to throw this out there; this is the best sashimi spot in Tampa (yes Tampa, Brandon, Valrico.) Upon entry you'll see a quaint sushi bar and a walkway to a back room with approximately eight tables. The service was prompt and we ordered a nigiri plate and sashimi plate. You can't judge a "sushi" restaurant based on their Philadelphia roll, although people in Valrico probably would. The sashimi was cut nice and the servings were very generous. You could tell the fish wasn't old. I was surprised to have a piece of Toro on the chef's special. It was melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The prices are appropriate for the quality and with great service I would come back here often. Sushi ushi is my new sushi spot. read more

I swear I have driven past this place numerous times and thought to myself I should stop and try them. Low and behold I met a patient that raved about this place and I was sold!!! THIS IS AN AWESOME SPOT!!!! read more

Delicious sushi at great prices. The staff is amazing and the place is small and well kept. Definitely recommend.

This is my favorite restaurant in the area hands down. Everything is so good here and it's very authentic Japanese cuisine. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. Some of our favorites are the steak teriyaki, gyoza, chirashi, tonkatsu ramen, Hawaiian roll, spicy girl roll, tiger roll, and the various shashimi options. We frequent this restaurant 2-3 times a month for the past 6 years. Definitely go here if you're looking for some delicious japanese! read more

I could eat sushi every single day of my life - and I would go to this place. My dad came into town for a week and we came here 5 times. Every single time they nailed it. Amazing sushi, and that's coming from a person that has had A LOT of sushi. Personally, my favorites are the spicy tuna, spicy scallop, and Philadelphia. read more

Great little place! My 5 year old was begging for sushi so we found this after try several closed restaurants. The service was prompt and very polite. The location is very nice and clean with a nice atmosphere. The food was quite good and we ended up ordering a second round of sushi just because. To start we ordered the crab Rangoon (not the best but okay), as well as the pan fried and steamed dumplings. The dumplings were delicious. Next was the Out of Control Roll which was outstanding. We also had the Tampa roll which was very good but small. The shrimp tempura roll was also good. The Alaska was decent but I wasn't a huge fan of the Boston. read more

Great little place staff was friendly food was good but it didn't wow me. We found most of the rolls we ordered to be prepared and presented well but something was off about the flavor I feel like there wasn't enough umami I think. You know how you start to chew a great bite of food and every chew new flavors mix and the food changes with every bite, I didn't get that here. Not to say it was bad it wasn't by far the quality is there and you will be satisfied if you have that craving for a good meal but I did not have that WOW experience . It wasn't awful but it wasn't great it was just good. A great place to get some ramen and sushi with out having to take that ride into Tampa. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant! This place is absolutely amazing. My boyfriend and I frequent different style Asian restaurants, and this one has a little bit of everything. We ordered the Kani salad, Salmon skin salad, Duck bun, Beef Negimaki, Shrimp Shumai, Naruto roll, Green tea mochi ice cream, and the red bean mochi ice cream. Everything was amazing and the presentation was lovely. I love that Sushi Uchi is in Valrico, so I don't have to go through the Brandon Mall traffic to get there. We originally were going to go here because we wanted to try the Soft roll sandwiches (Duck bun) that they have at other more famous restaurants in Tampa, but then saw that Sushi Uchi makes them, and is much closer. The duck was fantastic, and the buns were so soft, along with the crunch of the cucumber in between. The mochi ice cream for $4 it is amazing, I could eat it every day. I love mochi and I love ice cream, so I was super excited to see that they had mochi ICE CREAM! The outside is nice and soft, and the inside is ice cream, with a great red bean flavor. We ordered the naruto roll because, of course we love naruto! It was amazing, We didn't need to use any soy sauce on it, it was amazing on its own. This is my new favorite restaurant, everything was absolutely amazing. It won't be long before Sushi Uchi becomes famous, go now before everyone finds out about it! read more

Great food and great customer service. Everyone was kind and friendly. Will definitely recommend this place.

I was in the area for an appointment on Saturday, March 12, and stumbled upon Sushi Ushi via Yelp. Wow! Hands down, the best shrimp tempura rolls I've ever had (and I've tried a lot of shrimp tempura rolls). I am very particular when it comes to sushi - I exclusively order shrimp tempura rolls, and always have the nori (seaweed) replaced with soy paper. These rolls were so good that I didn't even care that they were rolled with the soy paper on the outside. The roll was made with freshly cooked, large shrimp. Very flaky and light - the tempura batter they use is on-point. Their spicy mayo (which I always order with my sushi) was also delicious. I ordered my sushi to-go, and the hostess who took my order was very friendly. Sushi Ushi is a great little sushi spot! Highly recommended - I will be back when I'm in the area again. read more

Craving sushi forever, my step daughter Terri's visit was the perfect time to go out to enjoy some. She is an Elite Yelper from CA and had done her homework and wanted to try Sushi Ushi. So here we are. This was supposed to be our girls night out, but at the last minute hubby/daddy decided to join us. Weird since he doesn't eat sushi. The restaurant was small and crowded. Nothing special. Our waitress however was very pleasant and nice. Terri and I decided to split 3 different sushi dishes. We got the Tempura Bagel Roll (cream cheese & salmon), the Hawaiian Roll (coconut shrimp inside and fresh mango topped it), and finally the Spider Roll (soft shell crab). everything tasted fresh and our three choices was more than enough food for the two of us. I was a bit disappointed with the presentation of the spider roll. It did not resemble a spider at all. Flavor was ok, but my least favorite of the three. The Tempura bagel roll tasted fresh and yummy. Who doesn't like the combo of salmon & cream cheese? I agree with Trii, the Hawaiian roll reigned supreme. I love coconut shrimp period, but in a roll topped with fresh mango...perfection!!!! Think I will return with my daughter-in-law one day, and try for that girls time out again!!! read more

I go here every time I visit family. Best sushi in the area no doubt. It's a small up-and-coming place but perfect atmosphere for date nights. The food speaks for itself, I mean, look at the reviews Sushi Ushi has. The nigiri and rolls aren't pack with too much rice like some places. Every time I get the tako su appetizer. The octopus are generous pieces and always fresh. But today I was surprised with a toro tartar by the sushi chef, soo good! Can't wait to bring my girlfriend for dinner here tonight. - Decided to update the review since I have tried and enjoyed new things on the menu. The ahi poke is amazing and has a good amount of heat to it if you like spicy. Also, you'd be cheating yourself if you didn't give the summer roll a try. So many layers of flavor but the lemon and peanut really make it savory. Overall, I'm sticking to my guns with 5 stars. I'd, give sushi Ushi 6 stars if I could. During my 3 days in town for the holidays I've dined in here 4 times and 2 out of those times I've taken more food to go after I've already eaten! read more

Great sushi and great service. I enjoyed that the fish wasn't served really cold because when it is closer to room temp you can really taste the fish and get the right texture. Gyoza was also very good, great crisp texture and flavorful filling. The Out of Control roll was amazing. Seared fish on top was on point. read more
