    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Won't be back!!! If you feel like waiting an hour+ for sub-par sushi this is your place. There are 7 tables. No reason to wait more than an hour for sashimi. Pay more for less, and wait a long time to get it...no thanks!

    Octopus appetizer
    Luisa B.

    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.

    Kamikaze and Fantasy Rolls
    Nina L.

    My husband and I came here while visiting Safety Harbor on a busier night. They immediately informed us the wait time would be about an hour, and we didn't mind waiting. We started off with two miso soups. The soup wasn't bad, but it was okay. It could have used some more vegetables and/or tofu. For dinner, we got the Fantasy and Kamikaze rolls. Both had very fresh ingredients and were very tasty. My favorite was the Fantasy roll because of the crunch on top. The service was a bit slow at times, but the sushi made up for it. Overall, a cute Japanese and sushi place in Safety Harbor.

    Well. In Florida.... Again. Near Oldsmar and Clearwater and what do I find.... Aki Sushi. Oh…read moreyeah! Quaint, comfortable and the ambiance just right. Not too big and not too small. As Ms Allison takes my order, I hear folks around me chatting about how they faired with Hurricane Milton. Sad stories of damage and destruction but the drinks poured and laughter and smiles filled the air. Not often do you run into a neighborhood feel Sushi joint. The food.... Oh yeah! Ordered the ginger salad.. then had Miso soup, both very flavorful and freshly made. Then came the California rolls and the house specialty roll, the Allison. I usually have leftovers but this was so good, ate it all and of course feel like a Cajun stuffed Flounder. Satisfied indeed! Remember to support your local grubbers so we both don't starve....

    I don't give 5 stars for anything, so 4 stars is a big deal! This place is brand new, with owners…read morethat are super friendly and hospitable. Very hip and trendy spot with interesting takes on the traditional sushi roll. Favorite specialty rolls include the Caterpiller (Eel, cream cheese, cucumber, asparagus, avocado, eel sauce and spicy mayo), Kamakaze (Spicy krab stick, avocado, cucumber, masago and crispy fish). The classic roll that we tried and loved was the Tampa roll (Crispy fish, avocado, cucumber and scallions topped w/ spicy mayo), delish! Can you tell that I'm from California with my love for avocados?! I would recommend this sushi place to anyone that has a love for tasty, scrumptious, and interesting sushi rolls. Relatively well priced, and small enough menu to not overwhelm you.

    I'm going to be honest, I had my doubts but after yesterday and today I'll never again. Everything…read moreI was told about this place was true and then some! I was on the fence given my bad experience with restaurants that try to get fancy with its sushi, but this definitely surpassed my expectations. The environment has a nice small-town exterior (fitting for a restaurant in Downtown Dunedin) with a vibrant, cool, cozy interior with minimal lighting that's easy on the eyes. The service is pretty good and they do check to make sure you're enjoying what you ordered, which is a nice touch. In terms of mocktails, on the first day I had the Ginger passion tea which had nice presentation and was just the thing needed to wash down the fantastic spice of, which I sadly forgot to take a picture of, but alas...Next time...The second day I had the "Cucumber Chiller" which, I'll admit, didn't tickle my fancy too much as I'm not one for zest, but it's still a solid #2 on my list! I tried their Spicy Tuna Roll on both days, and much to my pleasant shock...They mean it when they said spicy. Much of their sushi menu appears to be a fusion of Mexican spicing and Japanese uramaki sushi techniques, which I never expected to enjoy so much! I definitely wish to experiment with more of their rolls next time. I also decided to try the pork fried rice, and my goodness, whatever pig they cut up for that rice may not have been able to fly but I sure felt like I was on cloud nine! The rice was crispy, soft, crunchy, flavorful and subtle all at the same time and when it needed to be. Mind you, the lunch portion alone filled me up almost! Just imagine what the dinner would do! Actually, don't imagine that. Just know you'll be good for the rest of the day! Then for desert I decided to try a slice of their Green Tea Cheesecake...Now, interestingly enough, I almost thought it was pumpkin due to the strange flavor contrast between the green tea base and the caramel drizzled. Not what I was expecting but it was still really delicious and I would eat it again in a heartbeat. You don't gotta be a Scorpio like me to be drawn to Pisces Sushi & Global Bistro, that's for sure! I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Dunedin...I guarantee you'll be Du"needing" more of this after one bite!

    I probably shouldn't have gone, rogue, but I've now tried other rolls, and this is what I think…read more I got salmon sashimi and squid sashimi, if I get the fresh salmon roll, the salmon sashimi might be a bit duplicative. The squid sashimi was delicious, this is a must get for me. I got two servings of tobiko sushi, red, because I thought my older son would want some. This time he didn't, so next time I should get one serving of tobiko sushi and one serving of just tobiko sashimi as always I got a Saba sushi for my dad. The rolls are where I really faultered this time. I got the fresh salmon roll, which I always love so that's a good choice. My younger son actually kept eating the rice from that roll so I got salmon sashimi through that. I ordered the super protein because I didn't think it had rice in it, when it says it has rice paper, it means rice paper instead of seaweed. I felt like there was too much mayo, because I ended up ordering three rolls with mayo inadvertently . So next time, definitely do not get the Tokyo tower, the super protein, and the screaming orgasm at the same time. I got the screaming, because it said there was no rice, but there definitely was rice. I'm not sure if the menu was wrong or if they made it incorrectly, but it also had a lot of mayo so I wouldn't get the screaming again. The Tokyo Tower also had a lot of mayo. I liked the super protein the best out of the three, so if I decide, I do want one roll with mayo, I would go with the super protein. However, if this is future me reading this, I should go back to my standard order, which is detailed in my last review. My husband likes the wonton soup, so we always get him that as well. Overall, I still like the sushi here, we ordered all of the above and had about a roll left over. So if I'm looking to order just enough for one dinner, I should stick with three rolls not four. They quoted us at 30 to 35 minutes but they ended up taking about 45 minutes.
