I kind of knew that I would not be disappointed... I wasn't. We made reservations and were sat immediately upon arriving. The entire restaurant was clean and organized and very well maintained. We were greeted with a smile and welcomed in and brought to our table immediately. We chose to sit outside as the weather was perfect for outdoor dining. Serve server, Lissete immediately greeted us and helped us walk through the drink menu. We both chose the 'shogun' drink, which but their version not fat. The drink was absolutely delicious and flavorful and reflected its a menu description perfectly. I don't want to say that the menu was overwhelming, but every description of every item was appealing. I will not go into detailed descriptions of our menu items as their descriptions were very well defined on the menu. Everything we ordered was both picture perfect and absolutely delicious. We ordered the following items: Pork Belly Skewers Gali Rib Skewers Duo Tartar GO Roll Hachi Roll Every item was absolutely delicious but, would I order it again? Probably not as these items were so awesome that I would have to try new items every time I go back or another visit. I will again say that our server Lissete, it's probably one of the best servers I have ever had before. She was personal, professional, assisted us with the menu, get back with us after every plate and overall treated us as if we were honored guests in her home. With her Service and the food and the ambience of the restaurant, Kuro Sushi a very easily earned my five stars! Great job by everyone!

Alesia is one of those St. Pete gems that somehow feels both tucked away and absolutely…read moreunforgettable. The moment you walk in, the space just pulls you in -- cute, unique, warm, and full of character. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, sip something delicious, and try absolutely everything on the menu. But let me be clear: the pho is the star. Rich, fragrant broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and the kind of depth of flavor that only comes from a kitchen that truly knows what it's doing. It's comfort in a bowl and hands-down some of the best pho in the area. And you cannot visit without ordering the honeycomb appetizer. It's unlike anything else -- crispy, airy, lightly sweet, and ridiculously addicting. One of those small plates you swear you're only going to sample... and then suddenly it's gone because you couldn't stop yourself. From the food to the atmosphere to the friendly service, Alesia is a total win. Whether you're going for a cozy date night or a casual meal with friends, this place delivers every single time. A must-try in St. Pete!

The fish was fried perfectly--crispy on the outside and tender inside. The coconut shrimp and mango sticky rice were also excellent. Since the food is cooked to order, it did take a little time, but I actually appreciate fresh, made-to-order dishes, so I didn't mind waiting. If you're in a rush, I'd recommend calling ahead. Overall, great service and great food. I'll definitely be back.

When my coworker and I arrived, there was only one other table at the restaurant. We ordered the crying tiger and a crispy pork belly dish to share. We waited for our food for a long time! Probably over an hour! Each time the dishes came out of the kitchen, they went to the other table. At one point, our waiter was walking by saying sorry, and that the food was coming soon. When we finally got our food, we really got to enjoy the flavor, the crispiness of the pork skin, and the different sauces that they've prepared for dipping! My coworker and I remarked that the food was delicious! The sticky rice came in a little straw box. It got dry since we both took it out of the plastic wrapper, though, so keep the rice wrapped up to enjoy the texture more! The crying tiger came with perilla leaf. I love wrapping meat with the perilla leaf - it tastes so fresh. We also ordered the mango sticky rice. The coconut cream sauce was perfect on the sticky rice. The mango was simply sliced, so we had to scoop it off of the mango skin. Overall, I can't take two hour lunch breaks, especially during the week days. The food must be prepared to order, which has its pros and cons.

I couldn't stop thinking about the food afterward, so I immediately made a trip to the restaurant to try more. This time, we went to the location across from Ferg's because it was a little chilly and we wanted to sit inside and eat everything right away. We even drove from Tampa, even though there's a food truck closer, because we really wanted the full sit-down dining experience. We ordered the ahi tuna dirty rice, the bang bang shrimp (a special I saw online), and the pork belly buns. This was my first time trying the shrimp and the buns, and let me tell you... the buns did NOT disappoint. They were so fluffy, cooked perfectly, and absolutely delicious. And the bang bang shrimp? I loved it almost more than the ahi tuna. It had the most perfect crisp and crunch. You order outside and everything is made fresh. It didn't take too long at all, and the food came out warm and insanely good. I'm a huge dumpling girl, so I already know I need to go back ASAP to try the truffle gyoza and the wagyu gyoza. The lobster crab rangoons also sounded incredible. If you haven't been yet, this place is 100% worth the hype, and the repeat visits.

However, they offered to move our reservation to Fortu, their sister restaurant, I'm so glad we said yes.From the moment we walked in, the staff made our experience truly special. Pitar, our server, along with Andy and Jennifer, went above and beyond to make up for the inconvenience. The management team even had the chef prepare an Asian-style crudo appetizer so we could still enjoy a sushi-inspired dish, and they welcomed us with a glass of birthday champagne.Every dish that came to the table was perfectly seasoned and beautifully executed. The way Fortu's team handled the unexpected situation and delivered such a flawless dining experience was nothing short of impressive.Worthy of Michelin recognition.We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this one-of-a-kind restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience.
