    The sushi is always fresh and tasty here! I love meeting my friend for a girls night out here because it's not a quick sushi place... it's takes some time to get your food so it gives you the chance to chat and fully enjoy the experience. They are always very kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quaint and fun- lots of pictures and things to look at that are funny and interesting. I love coming here!

    Best sushi place in pinellas county. Quality of the rolls, taste of the rolls, and the presentation all of it is phenomenal. Every time I go, I crave it even more! Worth every penny and worth the visit

    We came here after I had read a fellow Elite review and we just did not have the same experience. Could be what we ordered, the sushi chef that day, our personal tastes, I don't know but it just wasn't what I was expecting. The place is small, which is just fine with 4 booths, 3 tables and 3 bar seats. Service was attentive to us, making sure we had everything we needed but our sushi was just bland. It was seriously the most flavorless sushi we either have had. I don't know what else to say about it honestly. With all the sushi options in Tampa Bay, we won't be back. The 3rd star is for the service.

    This is a small place and we were lucky to get a table upon walking in. Fantastic service, fantastic sushi. I think this is my new local spot. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere and the interior lighting was perfect! Sushi does take a bit to prepare, since a lot of others order several rolls and there's only one sushi station for the chef. They try to tell you that upon ordering too. I loved that.

    Stacy Roll- so good!

    This place is amazing! The menu is great, which has pictures of every sushi roll in the menu. With details about the inside and outside of the roll. It is very helpful when trying to decide. The sushi rolls are delicious. My food came out in a timely manner and the staff were very friendly and seemed so happy and welcoming. Everyone should try the Happy Salmon!

    BEST SUSHI EVER! Me and my boyfriend adore Tony!! The place is very nice and clean. The food is so so fresh with amazing prices. Depending on the day there might be a little wait but it is WORTH IT! Love it here!

    Blink and you can miss this gem! I would personally like to thank the staff for making us feel so welcome! They really go out of their way with the details here. I felt as if they had asked me themselves to enter their establishment. The ambiance is cool and enthralling while the food definetly follows up well. Everything we tried was good. If you are feeling particularly adventurous ask them for the blowfish sake. Takes some time to make and it comes tall but believe me it's an experience you will not forget. Hats off to you fine folks!

    We decided to eat sushi instead of Mexican on our last night at Safety Harbor. Happy salmon had great reviews and within walking distance. We got here on a Saturday night around 5:30 and waited half hour to be seated. The place is very small. Seats maybe 20-30 people total. So if you are in a hurry don't come here and trash them because of the wait. If you want great sushi then be ready to wait. We ordered the octopus appetizer. Small but out of this world! We ordered the following rolls: Spicy lobster Oh baby roll Super dragon Hollow scream roll Caterpillar roll Fantastic. Flavors, quality and presentation where all there!! We waited about 45 minutes for our rolls but we enjoyed talking, looking at pictures and texting our son. I don't fault such a small business for having a delay in bringing out food. Im On vacation so I'm not in a hurry!!! Thanks Tony and staff for a wonderful dinner, great ambiance and 60s background music. We will be back in March and making this one of our stops. Wish I could give higher than 5 star.

    Living in Safety Harbor we have many restaurants to choose from, our goto place, our number one favorite is Happy Salmon. Always fresh and delicious.

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.

It's a level of elegance we wanted…read more The overall look from the entrance, the food, and the gorgeous patio is a must add to your list when in Clearwater! It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful! Everyone should be able to experience these. But ocean hai on your list as a must try place for sure.

We had the nicest table right on the patio overlooking the beach and it was fantastic. Our server was pleasant when she was around, but it seemed like she went missing for long periods of time and always right when we seemed to need something. Service was generally slow and the restaurant wasn't super busy when we were there. Food was mediocre at best. We started with the bulgogi beef skewers and the ahi tuna apps. The skewers were sort of dry and chewy...and I don't know that they tasted like bolgogi. The tuna tartar app tasted heavily of lime and nothing else and the cuts on the tuna were pretty messy and made it a bit difficult to eat. The grouper entree was okay, but the piece of fish I got looked like a baseball in that it was thick and sort of round? It made it just kind of tough and overcooked on the outside and a little undercooked on the inside. The chicken fried rice was good, but nothing to write home about.

We started with the fish belly, which you do not see often on menus. The lemongrass was so fresh and permeated the dish. That was a theme through all the dishes - fresh and integrated flavors. It was difficult to choose, so our server Tyler was a great help and helped us narrow down a few dishes. We over ordered, knowing that we had lunch the next day. Our selections were Holy Basil with pork, Pork Neck, Sweet & Sour with chicken and a noodle dish with gravy, egg, veges with beef. We agreed that we would reorder any of the dishes. However, there is a number of dishes we can't wait to savor when we return. High on the list is the Shrimp with Crack Sauce. They brought a sample of the sauce for us to try and we loved it. You know that flavor is the priority here, because we learned that the Holy Basil would be off the menu soon, as the basil would be out of season. Pam, the chef wants her dishes to highlight the ingredients and you chose the spiciness level you want. We cannot wait to sample more of those fresh ingredients!

My other son also liked the sausages. My husband likes his Khao Soi But the pad Thai and pad see ew, I had higher expectations. Beef jerky has little to no taste the only save was the sauce. The service was a bit on the slower side. But overall, it wasn't bad but wasn't amazing. I would say to come and support local business at least once to know :)
