EXPERIENCE: My…read morefriends and I made a last minute decision to come and grab dinner here. The placed was decked out in Japanese culture. 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.

Izakaya Tori is easily a 5-star spot for sushi in Tampa…read more Everything tasted incredibly fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. The sushi was beautifully presented, and every roll we tried was packed with flavor without feeling overdone. You can really tell they care about the ingredients and overall experience here. The atmosphere is also a huge part of what makes this place special...cozy, modern, and perfect for either a casual dinner or a night out. 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.

We usually start with the sourdough flatbread with tomato dip, and it is always so delicious--warm, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to share. I love changing it up and trying different pastas, but my absolute favorite is the Vodka Tomato Pasta. It's rich, creamy, and full of flavor--never disappoints. Everything is consistently amazing, and it's one of those places you can always count on for great food and a great time. Can't wait for our next girls' night here!

But like is that the extend of it. Yeah, prob. I don't want to undermine things. Menu is large. They have a happy hour situation. They have mad options. Thumbs up but my doors stayed intact and were not blown off. Cool location. Sat at the bar, felt comfy. Now what I will say. Had an interesting sugar baby's scenario playing out next to me. That's cool. Water street is good for that - I'll tell you that much. So maybe the key takeaway. Good location. Good food and does the job.

From the moment we walked in, the intimate atmosphere helped to keep the focus exactly where it should be: the food. We sat at the chef's counter which elevated our experience even further, giving us a front-row seat to the artistry behind each dish. While the meal was exquisite. What truly sets Kinjo apart, was Chef Jada's execution. Chef Jada brought an incredible level of precision and creativity to the dishes. There was a balance bold flavors in every bite. Service was equally outstanding during our visit. There were so many delicious options we had difficulty deciding. But the staff's deep understanding of the menu help enhance the experience with thoughtful guidance throughout our selections. Kinjo wasn't just dinner--it' was an experience.

Soho Sushi never disappoints, and this time was no different…read more *I opted to have my sushi delivered via DoorDash, so this is not an on-site review* SoHo roll (tuna, salmon + tempura chips, topped with roe) Mexican roll (Fried shrimp, avocado, and roe) Downtowner roll (tuna, salmon, cream cheese + avocado topped with roe and sesame seeds) I was in the mood for simple rolls instead of their more aesthetically pleasing, artistically arranged specialty rolls. Fish: always fresh and of the highest quality Rice: perfectly sticky, not over/under cooked Veggies: avocado is fresh and just sliced Toppings: the roe had just the right amount of flavor Construction: wrapped tightly and cleanly If highly suggest the Volcano & Lobstah Wagyu rolls; they are my favorites!

Didn't need all the micro greens for garnish on top but this could be overlooked because taste and flavor was amazing. The tuna tartare was super tasty as well and I would definitely order this again same comment for micro greens on this dish - didn't need this and found myself moving it off the dishes to actually enjoy the item. 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!
