Was originally interested in this restaurant due to it being affiliated with Beijing House, which is a go-to spot for my family. The interior was nice, quiet, and clean and I liked the decor. I was actually surprised by their Creamy Matcha Frappen; it was subtly sweet and the cream on top was super tasty because it had a nice balance of salt to offset the sweet. They offer a lunch special, 2 classic rolls for about $10, and the rolls were made well and tasted fresh. I opted for the classic rolls since, in my opinion, the signature rolls are overpriced. If you're feeling specialty sushi for a good price, this is not the place. Everything else on the menu seemed reasonably priced. We also got the Chicken Karaage. Honestly, it looked and tasted like chicken nuggets, so this appetizer I wouldn't recommend either. I would be interested to try other menu items if I have a chance to go back. read more

This restaurant replaced an Asian fusion restaurant. Now mainly the izakaya restaurant with sushi and ramen. The restaurant table set very wide and not cramping. Very comfortable. We got the lunch special with two rolls and box lunch with Mala chicken. I think I like their box lunch better. The sushi basically has not much of taste. Very plain. I go like the sweet heart roll. Service is good. Sushi needs a bit wait. All other is good. read more

This place kept popping up on my instagram. So we made the drive on a Sunday evening. The place was quiet. The staff was very pleasant. The Sushi Tacos were absolutely amazing. My wife loved the salmon skin taco. The spicy tuna was my favorite. We also really liked the eel taco. The Push pop Pink Lady roll was fun and tasted great. We did ask for them to not put tempura crumbs in anything. read more

Pros: Nicely decorated interior. The new owners are trying to be more upscale. A mixture of Japanese and Chinese dishes. Good customer service. I was checked on a good amount. My flaming hot plate had a lit burner turned on for the duration of the meal. Pretty cool feature. Open 7 days a week! I ordered the Flaming Hot Plate Mala style with beef. The beef was tender and the vegetables were well cooked and flavorful. I liked the fresh cilantro added. 8/10 Cons Sodas are served a la carte (no fountain style). The menu description of the hot plate didn't mention what carbohydrate was included. ( I almost feel like noodles would be better but I'm unfamiliar with Chinese preparation so I can't really get upset about that.) I enjoyed the meal much better than the previous occupant Rain Bistro's version. Overall: A nice Asian restaurant in North Tampa that's worth checking out. read more

I stopped by Fortune Kitchen during their soft opening to check it out! They're currently transitioning concepts, so you'll notice a blend of Chinese and Japanese décor for now, but they'll be focusing more on Japanese cuisine moving forward. It's great to see an Asian restaurant near the Tampa Palms area because the options are low. I tried a sushi roll, chicken skewer, yakisoba and karaage. The chicken skewer was flavorful and I enjoyed it. They shared that they plan to expand their skewer selection in the future, which I'm excited about. The sushi pizza was creative and surprisingly well-balanced. It's one of those dishes you're curious about, and the flavors actually came together nicely. I also ordered the karaage. It wasn't the typical Japanese-style karaage I'm used to with a crispy breading. It tasted more like chicken nuggets. I shared that feedback with them, and they were receptive, so I'm hopeful it evolves as they continue refining the menu. Their yuzu beignets for dessert was very enjoyable! Overall, it was a nice first visit, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow and settle into their full Japanese-focused concept. read more

I was really pleased by this restaurant. The sushi was fresh, the atmosphere was inviting, and they even had some select menu items from one of my favorite spots, Beijing House. We ordered the Thai tea which was nice and creamy. It wasn't too sweet, which is always a plus. Then we ordered some sushi rolls, which were delicious and straightforward. The highlight of my meal was the sushi tacos. They had a nice crunch to them and they were very flavorful with each bite. This place is definitely worth the visit! read more

Had an opportunity to try Fortune Kitchen this weekend. Solid place. Very beautiful interior thanks to a pretty extensive renovation. The restaurant is owned by the owners of Beijing House, so you feel the same style in their menus and service, which is great! This restaurant focuses more on sushi, ramen, and Japanese izakaya with some other Chinese dishes. The ramen was solid, with good broth and solid noodles. They are also generous with the Soft Boiled Egg and Pork Charsu slices. I hope they expand the menu even more and I look forward to trying more items! Please support local and give them a try! :) read more

The restaurant is very clean and welcoming. Food is great and the pricing even better! I took my kids during lunch hour and they had great deals! We got the 2 rolls for $13.95 and it was well worth it. Comes with a drink too. Definitely a great new addition to the USF area. read more

Fortune Kitchen USF - Sushi tacos - Izakaya Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We were there at the lunchtime. The interior was beautifully decorated. The sitting area was big, wide open and clean. I had their lunch box. I picked Flamming mala chicken, garlic soy soba noodle, and the strawberry iced tea. They were all very delicious. We also got some sushi, but I prefer their stir-fry dishes than sushi. The service was good. It was not a bad experience. read more

Tried this brand new Sushi restaurant on their grand opening day. I'm a sushi connoisseur. I am very specific about my taste and how my sushi is prepared. I can't say enough great things about this establishment. First off the quality of the sushi is what deserves recognization the most in my opinion. They prepared the food perfectly and every piece of fish I had was fresh. The salmon practically melts the second it touches your tongue, buttery and clean with no hint of fishiness. The tuna is vibrant and silky, with that perfect balance of richness and delicacy. Even the yellowtail has that bright, ocean-sweet finish that tells you it was handled with real care You can tell the chefs truly respect their craft. I'm genuinely beaming at how great this restaurant is. I will be coming back consistently. The matcha frappe is my favorite drink EVER! It's made with oat milk so it's all 10's from me. It's such a perfectly crafted drink I dream about this often. It's my go to pick for Matcha. read more

My fiancé and I decided to come here for dinner yesterday and when I say there was no one in there it was completely empty and the sever/ host was very rude and barely came to our table ( her one table she had) instead her and a cook were eating at a table right behind us. The food was terrible my sushi was wrapped completely wrong and it fell apart as soon as I picked it up, and my fiancé ordered rice with pork cutlets, while he was eating he found 2 stands of beard hair under his pork. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone! I had to pay almost $30 for food that was disgusting and for barely having service. read more

Fortune Kitchen USF - Yellowtail - Izakaya Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Fortune Kitchen is by far one of the better if not the best sushi restaurant I've been too around USF, and this is coming from someone who eats sushi every week multiple times. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, I had a nice conversation with the owner Wesley and he even let me try the passion fruit tea on the house which was sooo good. It is a nice quiet, and very clean establishment which is also a huge plus. I ordered the tuna, white tuna, salmon, and octopus sashimi and each bite I had was phenomenal and you could tell this fish was fresh. I mean the salmon was like butter, so creamy and melts in your mouth. 10/10 recommend this restaurant and I definitely will be back for more!!! read more
