    Lo mein

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hibachi lunch special. Yummm
    Christina N.

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

    Japanese noodles with steak chicken and shrimp.
    Timothy C.

    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.

    Mixed Vegetables Hibachi
    Desarae P.

    The food is fresh, flavor ale, and reasonably priced. I enjoyed the Lun Special - vegetable hibachi and my husband had shrimp fried rice. The customer service was great! A great place for a quick dining experience. The atmosphere was easy-going and it's a clean establishment.

    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.

    I really love this place and I will definitely come back when I visit this place again!!! let's…read morestart with the fried rice that my husband got he doesn't like seafood so he didn't get any sushi. But this fried rice was so good. It seasoned perfectly with the fatty beef make that whole fried rice flavors were very rich. I got the Uni sushi and it was the sweetest and the creamiest thing I've ever had. The server told me that they get fresh Uni every week from Japan. I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind. She tried her best to cater us such as substitute my sushi she was talking to us and she's very likable. We will definitely come back and try other things. The Whole place was very clean and big.

Let's start with the ambiance. I have been at this location when it was previously another restaurant and the upgrades done are exceptional. Kanji is a perfect date ambiance. (bring a jacket though, it can get chilly). As far as service, I've never had bad service here, and the recommendations are truly to leave you satisfied, not just to pad the bill. THE FOOD. The spicy Tonkatsu, fried oysters, gyosa, fried rice...heck almost anything on the menu as been amazing and the Sushi isn't stingy. You might pay a little more but you get a lot more. Full bar selection and good bartenders are just the plus. Clean bathrooms, clean restaurant, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.
