    Miso soup that came with each bowl
    Alan G.

    This was a great find to enjoy lunch while attending an event at the nearby convention center. Junmai Station has a bit of an unassuming presence but their food and friendly service certainly made a positive impact. We went around 12:45 pm and unfortunately, nearly all of the onigiri were sold out, so definitely worth it to go earlier. We were fortunate to enjoy the salted salmon onigiri which had a good texture on the rice and well-seasoned salmon, with the only wish being that the seaweed wrap was sturdier. We also tried their gyu-don and ahi tuna-don. The gyu-don had the right level of seasoning for our palates, with a good amount of beef and onions in the bowl. The spicy tuna don was also excellent, with sliced, buttery avocado. The miso soup that came with the rice bowls also tasted fresh and properly seasoned. Overall, it was a great visit to Junmai Station and the main recommendation is to get there early to get the chance to try their other onigiri options in addition to their rice bowls.

    Gyudon, seaweed salad and miso soup
    Nat W.

    Authentic musubi place in downtown Tampa? Yes please! While their musubi is authentic and delicious, I thought the price is bit too expensive. On the other hand, the combo meals are reasonable. They come with a delicious miso soup. I loved their Gyudon (very authentic) but could have used a little more sauce (I am used to Yoshinoya). Unfortunately I did not like their curry dish, as it looked more red than authentic Japanese curry and tasted like ketchup was in it. It had nice kick tho. The service was bit standoffish.....I didn't really like the vibe of this place. Not so welcoming and the workers seem unhappy as well. Anyways overall a delicious & authentic Japanese dishes good for takeout. Go there early! Most of musubis are out by 2pm.

    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Britany B.

    One of my favorite lunch spots in the Downtown area! Reasonably priced, consistently fast service and fresh food! I love all of their rice balls and have recently started trying their bowls - which are only $12 and come with a complimentary miso soup! Tried the chicken teriyaki bowl last week and absolutely loved it!

    Takoyaki

    It's such a cute little restaurant! We walked in after craving some onigiri. There's a rule of only buying 4. That was fine with us as there were only 4 flavors left. We really enjoyed all of our meals. The bowls all came with miso soup! We also ordered edamame, the mochi from japan, and the cheesecake bun! Also very delicious. Our most favorite bowl was the pork belly bowl. It had a nice gingery taste and was perfectly cooked! If we loved here and worked in downtown, we would definitely be here all the time. The employees were always checking in on us and were the sweetest things ever?

    Real miso soup
    Rachel L.

    I loved getting lunch here! I got to try their beef curry and Gyudon with plum onigiri. The entrees came with a soup that was made with real miso and tofu. You can taste the authenticity as well as that home-cooked taste like a friend or family member cooked for you. It's definitely a favorite place of mine for lunch, and I wish it was closer to me! **They have very limited seating with a couple small tables outside and a few chairs inside. It's really more of an on the go place.

    Can't believe we didn't know about this place even though we've been passing by the area frequently. It's a tiny place so most people were taking food to go. A lot of their stuffed rice balls were selling out quick so I'd recommend going there earlier than later if you want to try those. We were able to grab a variety of em (only 1 was sold out, and we were there at around noon). The salmon one and the spam one were my fav! We also got the Buta Don bowl (good, a lil bland imo) and the takoyaki (was too mushy, def had better...). Overall, a good place to pick up some quick, fairly healthy food for lunch!

    Rainbow, baked salmon and plum
    Jo A.

    Finally got to stop by here! I wish they were open on weekends but I get that their crowd is the downtown Tampa yuppies. I wish there were more places like this Tampa! The onigiris are all so tasty! And the Buta Don (pork belly and rice bowl) came with miso soup was very filling but not heavy. Perfect for lunch! If you're around the area, during the week day, at lunch time, you have to come by, I promise you won't be disappointed.

    Salmon bowl
    Antonella N.

    Small little spot was incredible! I did not know what to expect from this place. I got the salmon bowl and I tried uncooked salmon for the first time. It was delish!!! My friend got the teriyaki chicken bowl, and she even mentioned that she will be back to try the other bowls. They were really quick for it being lunchtime in downtown Tampa. We also received miso soup as a side which I did not expect because the bowl was already $14 for a good amount of food. Can't wait to go back and keep trying different bowls/drinks

    Get here early they sell out !!! But don't worry they can make them for you fresh if your willing to wait 5 minutes
    Nicole M.

    One of the best finds of the year ! I have been trying to find an onigiri place since moving from nyc and Tampa was finally blessed with one right on Kennedy. Make sure you drive up Kennedy you won't be able to miss it! It's a small store front but the options of onigiri pack a punch. If you don't know what onigiri is it is a rice ball filled with meat (they have vegetarian sour plum and rainbow, chicken meatball, teriyaki glazed salmon, tuna Mayo, miso hamburger, beef, shrimp tempura kani salad, baked salmon ) oh the options and they even have mochi and other traditional lunch options including don buri bowls soup and seaweed salad! They can make them for you if they run out! Which they do because I'm yum?! The owner is very nice and super helpful with explaining the options. I would highly recommend and I totally will be back to this one of a kind place in Tampa. Probably one of my favorite finds this year!

    Pork Belly Bowl
    Kathy K.

    Excellent Japanese food. Basically a takeaway place with a few seats inside and out. We had the pork belly bowl and a salty salmon roll. Highly recommend!

    Ordered spam musubi, beef onigiri, and takoyaki. The takoyaki was amazinggggg. The batter was nice and soft with a slight chew to it and it was well seasoned. It was, however, expensive for just 4 pieces of takoyaki. The onigiri was good. I think it could have been better. The rice wasn't as well seasoned as j expected it to be. Otherwise, great selection, cute atmosphere, definitely will give the onigiris a try

    Spicy Tuna Don, Miso Soup
    Hannah B.

    My favorite grab-and-go lunch spot in downtown. The tuna always tastes high-quality and fresh, never gristly. The portions are pretty solid for the prices and I love, love, *love* their miso soup. Pro tip: call ahead 15-20 mins if you're ordering during peak lunch hours-- this is a popular spot for people working in downtown, and it can't take a bit for the food to come out otherwise. Always worth the wait, though!

It is a small restaurant so the atmosphere is very bustling -- I liked it though. Definitely expect a wait of at least 25-30 minutes, but once you sit down and order, your food comes out really fast! FOOD: Mentaiko Fries 10/10 -- Delicious! Definitely my #1 recommendation here. Krab Special Salad 6/10 -- You taste more mayo than anything. Shiso Rangoon (n/a) -- No rating because I didn't try any. Just keep in mind that the rangoon is wrapped in shiso leaves and it's tempura styled. It's not in the pictures since we ordered it later on. My friend liked it though. Takoyaki (n/a) -- I never tried it but my friend who loves takoyaki said it tasted really good. Katsu Curry 8/10 -- The rice to katsu ratio is upsetting because the curry sauce is soo good. BBQ Eel on Rice (n/a) -- My friends entree. She liked it enough to say she would get it again the next time she comes. Kimchi Cream Udon (n/a) -- Two of my friends ordered this entree. One enjoyed it and the other one couldn't finish it because she got sick of eating it. Said it tasted too "fatty", needs more seasoning (?). However both felt queasy on the ride home.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience feel welcoming from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in Tampa right now, and I'll absolutely be coming back.

We started with a lychee martini and a beer, and that lychee martini was SO good, sweet, strong, and honestly one of the highlights of the night. We also got the edamame. It wasn't my favorite since I usually prefer a more classic seasoning, but it was still fine and not a big deal at all. For our main dishes, we had the chicken fried rice and the steak with eggs and potatoes, and both were delicious. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked really well. The atmosphere was gorgeous, service was great, and since it was right after Mother's Day, they surprised all the moms with a rose and complimentary ice cream, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. It honestly made the experience even more memorable for my mom. The only small downside of the night was that they only had three baby high chairs available, which made it a little tricky since there were families there, but other than that, everything was amazing. Overall, definitely recommend this place if you're in Tampa; great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a really special experience all around.

    Definitely a five star experience…read more The things Noble Rice does well they do extremely well. I got the fig sour and it was absolutely delicious. I would get this every single time and I wish other places made it. My friends all loved their drinks too, so I think the drinks here were a total hit. Our absolute favorite dish was a mushroom coconut rice. We actually ended up ordering a second order of it because it was so good. If you like coconut, this is your dish. It is a savory dish so it is eaten for dinner. All of the rolls were very good too. They come with eight pieces so they are on the larger side. All of the fish tasted so fresh. The one thing I was not a fan of was the Shishito peppers. They weren't as blistered as I generally like it. Also, the kale salad was a little spicy for my taste. I did love the candied nuts and if it wasn't so spicy, I would have enjoyed it so much more. But I do think the taste was really interesting and if you can handle spice, I would recommend it. The desserts are divine. We got the Belgian waffle and the Panna cotta. The Panna cotta was definitely my favorite. They are small desserts so at first, I was nervous ordering two desserts for our table of four women, but when they came, we cracked up because our waitress said that the Belgian waffle was perfect for four people, and it was because we had another dessert. Otherwise it is tiny. These are not huge desserts. This place is basically on Sparkman's wharf. So paid parking is plenty full as long as there isn't an event happening. The decor of this place is beautiful. It is dark but not too dark and it is easy to have a conversation because it isn't super loud. I would definitely come back to this place.

The two not so favorite dishes for me were the fried rice topped with fried chicken. While chicken was very tasty the rice was extremely basic. Could have used eggs or other ingredients to elevate this dish. Also the Volcano roll was extremely disappointing. Normally the volcano topping is cooked or (torched) and this topping was cold and very unappetizing. Would not recommend this roll. Overall this place is a hit or miss. Service for our large party wasn't bad and everything came out pretty quickly!
