If you're craving sushi but your husband's not in the mood, this is your place! Very extensive and creative sushi menu. Always fresh. They also have a hot menu, but it's not an afterthought like most sushi spots. There's a happy hour for small bites, so you can explore new foods without much commitment. The have a unique experience every time we go.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. We wanted a bite to eat before a show at Ruth Eckerd Hall and this one popped up on Yelp. We were the only ones there for a while. The service was friendly and the sushi delicious. Their rice was better than our neighborhood place. Only Japanese beer. Happy hour 430-630 with beer and appetizer choices. Check it out.

All I can say is WOW. This place is very unassuming from the outside but it one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to in the Bay Area. First and foremost the fish in the sashimi appetizer were extremely fresh. The service was great and efficient and my sever offered some great recommendations. It was nice to see traditional dishes and rolls but also try some new and inspired items like their Taro Rangoon. The ambiance is lovely and is clean. I will definitely be back and bring friends to eat here again!

I swear these Japanese Izakaya restaurants are popping up everywhere this year. I looked up what Izakaya meant and it came up with two meanings, an intimate bar with cheap snacks and also stay-drink-lace. So both make sense in my world They have alcohol, have sushi, and skewers or yakitori. For this visit I had a King Kong roll and Kurobuta honey sausage(this one I had bc it was on the happy hour menu. I did not like it. It was just like a cut up hot dog. The King Kong roll was so good but I must say, I'm really loving on all rolls lately The server was pleasant and the place was cute with its Japanese theme. I would definitely want to come back here with someone who loves sushi as much as me. For your info, you can easily do a foodie hop here. This plaza has Paul's Pizza, this Japanese spot, & a Vietnamese restaurant.

Shrimp tempura

Clean cozy restaurant with delicious food. Presentation was excellent! Ordered some miso soup, shrimp tempura (which was the best I had ever had) and a Monster roll. Also had a really good mango flavored nigori. The staff is friendly and courteous, and very attentive, which I appreciated. Plenty of parking out front and ample seating inside. Bring the family and kids. It is a child friendly place.

Great sushi place. Came in for lunch and enjoyed. Cute place. Very good service. Can't wait to come back for dinner.

Japanese Cold Noodles

This was our first visit and I'm glad that we had stopped by. It's located in the Publix strip center at McMullen Booth and Coachman. We decided to try dishes that you usually don't see here in Pinellas Co. For appetizers, we ordered the Spider Roll and two skewers or yakitori (Momo Chicken Thigh and BBQ Fresh Water Eel). The Spider Roll was fine. The skewers were tasty but only a few bites. For mains, we decided on the Japanese Cold Noodles and the Niku Udon (Udon soup). Both dishes were beautifully presented. The cold noodles were quite tasty with strips of salmon, imitation crab and cucumbers. I would order it again. The Niku Noodles were thick Udon noodles with shredded beef on top. There wasn't a lot of soup, though. The beef had a sort of pot roast taste which was nice. Our entrees were both ample portions. The staff was friendly and speedy. The restaurant has nice ambiance with an open kitchen concept. I do recommend this restaurant if you want to try some yakitori and various noodle dishes.

Difficult to find inside of the Publix plaza

Visited during soft opening, so there are still some details for this restaurant to work through. Overall, love the izakaya vibe of the dining area and super friendly staff. I think this is a revamp of the existing Thai restaurant that was in the same space. Since it is noted as being a robatayaki restaurant, I tried to order almost all of their yakitori and skewer items. My main feedback is that they should use a charcoal grill instead of a heated coil grill, have warm tare dipping sauce, instead of cold. Baste and coat the skewers while cooking, not just at the end. Offer a separate "salted" option for items that do not include tare. The sushi was decent and also decently priced. Still need to try the Mentaiko fries, curry, and more! Unlike the izakaya in Tampa that is popular, this location has parking!!!

Happy Salmon ...3rd Friday of each month Safety Harbor has an outdoor music ( concerts) / craft…read morefair... very much worth going to. This month we ended up at the Asian restaurant Happy Salmon. Needless to this establishment is worth going even w/o the festivities. Place is small I guess you could say it's intimate and cozy. We snagged a couple of seats at the bar and ordered a few appetizers.. Tuna Tataki came with a soy sauce plus had a hint of Jalapeño,Gyoza ( dumplings) along with a couple of Asian Beers. Both were freshly made, tuna good quality, dumplings also fresh, tasty and delicious. In my opinion was very reasonable priced, service is a bit slow ( BUT.. they make to order) well worth the time... have another Beer ! Staff is friendly, courteous and very helpful. From talking with the bartender it's locally owned and operated.. yaa ( my kind of restaurant) Kudos to the bartender/ owner and the chef.. Sushi/ Tuna/ Dumpling maker. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

My friend and I went to this restaurant for dinner last night. It started it off great. We had some…read moreedamame and ordered from an interesting menu. It turned out the sushi was pretty average, but okay. What was really disappointing was the service. The waitress kept coming over, trying to rush us out as we were trying to finish our drinks. If there was a line or people waiting, I could understand, but there was no one else waiting for a table. I doubt we'll ever go back.

I have to say this is the absolute best Sushi I've been to…read more I travel from Atlanta to Clearwater on business and I never miss a chance to visit Ken's. Everyone is great! The food is always fresh and the selection is incredible. Ken, keep it up you are a winner!

Came into the restaurant at 2:48 pm. We were told "we're closing in ten minutes" and couldn't be…read moreseated. It's your restaurant, you can of course do what you want. We just wanted to post this review so that people know before they drive across town to eat there. So here it is, the answer to you question "doesn't he know all restaurants do that?" No, they don't. There's an important distinction between "closing time" and "last seating," and yes, different restaurants do it differently. IMHO, there's a right way and a wrong way. If a restaurant publishes 3:00 PM as its closing time, the ordinary customer interpretation is that you can walk in at 2:48 and be served. For many, quality restaurants, who care about their hangry customers, what they do is seat people up until the posted closing time, and the doors stop admitting new customers. People already inside finish their meals. The staff then does closing work after the last customers leave. So if the restaurant wants the dining room empty and employees effectively finished by 3:00, it really ought to advertise an earlier closing time.
