    I come here every time I come home to Tampa and I've never had an experience where I've felt I've been served day old food. We arrived when they first opened. Broccoli was super soggy and brown, chicken hard and tough to chew, and vegtable wilted and not crips. This isn't over-cooked. This seems old... My suggestion is to come later in the day perhaps.

    Decided to place a Pick up order for sushi from Katana. This was our first time trying it out and when I got there they do have inside seating which was nice and when I talked to the gentleman up front for my pick up it was already bagged and ready to go. Honestly I was impressed with how full the rolls were. I got the spicy tuna and spicy kani salad which were both delicious I loved the kani salad it was sweet and spicy but maybe a little too much mayo. The spicy tuna was great too and overall the portions were good. I would definitely try them again.

    The hibachi takeout dinner was A-OK. The portion of steak and shrimp was good. The rice could have been better. It was very basic and plain. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium but it was more more like medium well. But, it was still good. The veggies were good too. The salad was fresh but mainly iceberg lettuce and hardly anything else. The ginger dressing was good. I just have to say that I've had better at restaurants in the Valrico/Brandon area. My husband felt the same way about his steak hibachi dinner as well. Maybe it was just a bad day for hibachi. The service was great. I like the online ordering system. It's not too far from where I live. I'll go back and try other items on the menu but not anytime soon.

    Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll

    Pretty standard sushi. Nothing phenomenal, but decent quality. Their prices are pretty reasonable, the location is very close to home and easy to find, the restaurant is extremely clean inside. Staff members were all wearing masks. I ordered a salmon roll and 2 spicy tuna crunch rolls. The name is a little misleading as there was no crunchy or tempura element to the roll... it was a standard spicy tuna roll. If you're close by and you're looking for a quick, inexpensive bite to eat, check it out.

    Cute setup!! Very nice decor

    Pro: super fresh rolls.. I had the lunch special: 2 rolls for $8.75, comes with a soft drink. It's not a former restaurant , it's more of a counter order like Chinese fast food but decor is quite nice. It's does have 8 tables with nice cushioning seats. Tuna roll and shrimp tempura: both delicious, tuna was fresh and presentation was great. Overall, first time here .. quick and fast, very clean as well.

    Love this place, I eat here all the time usually I order take out but sat inside this time. My kids were super excited to find out they had the Japanese TikTok drinks. Great customer service, good quality sushi and fast service. High quality food but very laid back so you can take your kids and not feel bad for them talking... The restaurant was clean from the tables to the floor and has great lighting inside. Good ambiance for family, highly recommended.

    No better place for Friday night take out. One of my faves in Riverview - well priced and it's always delicious. I've never had bad service.

    My husband and I visited on a Thursday afternoon around 11:45. Everything was nice and tidy. The place looks and feels nice and comfortable. I did not visit the restroom. We ordered two lunch specials at $9.49, an order of Crab Rangoon, a Bloomingdale Roll and two fountain drinks, with a total of about $40. The food took about 13 minutes but it was fresh and very tasty! Staff delivered the food to our table on a tray which was nice. The Bloomingdale Roll was by far the star of the show, and the teriyaki chicken lunch special was a close second. My husband's hibachi steak lunch special was just ok. The rice has a different flavor to it that doesn't quite seem to belong there, some herb or something. Neither of us cared for it, although it was cooked well. The yum yum sauce also tasted super bland, like it could use a hit of sriracha or something. Overall, the vegetables in the meals were great, the Rangoon was very well fried & seasoned. I definitely recommend trying it out.

    Love this place! Good portions and it's a friendly place! We go repeatedly for the sushi and they refill your drinks for free. The staff are friendly and attentive. The location is easy to get to. Food is cheap and fast!

    Hibachi lunch special. Yummm

    Excellent lunch option. Healthy and fresh. Flavors great. Super quick and nice container for left overs too. Will be back

    A great little place in the Walmart shopping center. We have been here a few times and it's always been good. The Japanese rice and noodles are awesome. The Crab Rangoon is very good. I have also had the Godzilla roll and I will say it was really good. Being a fan of the crazy cafe I must say that this is just as good and you can sit down and enjoy your meal.

    Thoroughly impressed with this fairly new hibachi spot near my place! Easily accessible and the food was pretty spot on! They have a good lunch special which is a good bang for your buck! I ordered the steak and shrimp dinner to go. Came out super fresh and looked visually amazing. (Pretty sure people passing my car while I'm taking pics of food think "this crazy millennial" lol) The sauce was a little more tangy than I expected heat still good! The shrimp pretty big and the steak cooked exactly how I asked, medium rare. The ONLY thing I could think of is that they do not give you noodles like a lot of the other hibachi places around. But check the pics below

    This place was absolutely terrible. Everything we had was bad from the sushi to the hibachi. Do yourself a favor and skip this one

    Sushi for people that don't like sushi. Nearly everything is fried and smothered in spicy mayo and sauces. Don't waste your money.

    One of my regular dependables for sushi, also super convenient. They don't seem super organized inside, but I have no other complaint.

    Omakase Asian Cuisine of Riverview is SUPERB! Fresh, delicious sushi. Delicious soups and noodle…read moredishes. Love the salad with ginger dressing. Friendly, cheerful servers. We love coming here and have almost enough Reward Points to score a free $75 Family Dinner! Woohoo! You won't be disappointed. It's a quiet place, tastefully decorated with private booths and lovely lights. Say hi to Hostess Sharon, who is 5 stars all by herself -- and her husband, the sushi chef!

    My wife and I gave this restaurant to try for the first time…read more We really enjoyed ourselves tremendously. The server was an absolute angel and made us feel very welcome. She was super nice and loved having a good conversation. She also suggested a very good role, which was called the orgasm role. It was excellent. We also liked that the fact that the restaurant was very clean had a nice atmosphere and wasn't oversized. For dinner, we had their chefs fried rice, orgasm roll and godfather rule. Everything was delicious. The rolls had great flavor and were very fresh and had a nice presentation. We also like that there was a good amount of filling in each role and it didn't have too much rice on the outside. We enjoyed the fried rice as it had a great flavor and was not salty and had a good amount of shrimp, chicken and steak in it. This will be our new sushi go to spot when we are in the area.

    Back for my birth day again. If u read my previous review about the liquor store lol the thc beer…read morehit me like a brick. I remember some of the visit here. Went with ramen Tokonstu my favorite, i swear it looks so massive in their bowls lol. Did the dinner special also with the rainbow roll and the dynamite roll. Took the ramen home and ate the rolls. I had a beer and that sent me to the moon lol i don't remember what my sister ordered hut it had a blooming flower of crab meat that look like cheese. Mom went a skillet, it was livid! Lol took about half an hour for it to be safe for her to eat. Cute presentation but order some side stuff whole it cools. Couldn't do dessert this time, due to my dieting i have trained my body to eat very little and high protein meals. Today was my cheat day. On the path of Keto. Sht works just trust the process. Guaranteed -1-2lbs a weeks 0-50 carbs a day n it just falls off by itself. 2+ if working out. I will be coming back later since im working more now that i can and om usually around here after work. I can just eat just the fish n side salads it be bueno. ***Would love to see a keto roll like; substitute the rice for riced cauliflower. The madam that had use was nice n attentive. very pleasant. It was nice and dimed but the music kept the other guest also happy. I am so glad this establishment is prospering cuz i really like their food a lot.

    Always great service, delicious food, and good prices. My family and I have come here a few times…read moreand have never had a bad experience. My husband loves the sushi and I personally love the Raman (spicy Tonkotsu). Definitely reccomend if you are wanting a good variety of Japanese food.
