Great food and very clean. The sushi was superb with a good variety of seafood . Once the word gets out about this place, it will become crowded. read more

This was the very first sushi place I ate at here in Florida/Tampa area. I found it on yelp. Reviews were great so I decided to try it. I didn't realize that they closed for a bit between lunch and dinner. Fortunately I arrived only a couple of minutes prior to them opening for dinner (5pm). They also have Hibachi but I specifically went for sushi. Despite it getting crowded quickly, service was prompt and the servers were very kind. I ordered the sashimi dinner which had an assortment of sashimi and also included a salad and soup. Prices are very reasonable as well. Everything was delicious and the presentation was great! I was later notified on yelp that they used my photo for their profile which made me smile. I'm glad this place is very close to where I live and I can and will be coming to eat here often. I will definitely be trying their hibachi as well. The parking is ample btw! Definitely recommend Kuchi Sushi if you're in the area! :) read more

Went here late evening with a family member and a very nice lady showed us to our table. There weren't that many customers inside when we went as it was again pretty late in the evening already. But It was nice and inviting inside with just the right lighting. Anyway, we didn't take long with ordering what we wanted and every thing came out in a timely manner. Everything we ordered was perfect! Everything came out hot and fresh and so tasty!I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

Went for first time and was happy with the service and food. I would recommend this restaurant. And will be back.

Six of us went. Everyone liked it. If you like Chinese buffets you know that some are just good enough while others aim higher. This is the latter. The sushi in particular stood out. We'll be back. read more

The Sushi was good and tasty with filling dishes. They were quick with appetizers put took a while for the entree's. The setting of the place is cute but the tables for non hibachi dining is small. The bathrooms were disgusting. As you walk in you smell something terrible. The first stall wasn't flushed the second stall's sea was up and the wheelchair bathroom door didn't close. Also there was poop running down the front of the toilet read more

This was a very good experience and the food was Excellent! The sushi was exceptional and our HIBACHI chef was very funny and DID AN EXCELLENT JOB! Thank you Kuchi Sushi and Hibachi for a nice dinner experience with friends! read more

The service was nice, but the food was just okay other than the fried rice. We got hibachi chicken and steak which comes with a lot of food like a soup, salad, vegetables, fried rice, and noodles. The meat and vegetables were good too but the other items didn't taste the best or didn't have much of a flavor. The hibachi grill was a fun experience though! read more

Hibachi food here is perfect! As it is the typical experience you would expect. Deliciously tasteful and you know I'm always taking a doggy bag home to have for the next day. Standard hibachi practice, you know what I mean? We arrived at 7:30pm on a Saturday night for 5 people and were told a 25-minute wait; however, this wait turned out to be 45 minutes in reality. Otherwise, the service was very good when we were seated. They also have a beautifully shaped sushi bar. Food perfectly cooked to order and we had a great time with our chef and the sake! Would come back, but definitely when it is less crowded because the atmosphere inside has a wonderfully vibrant vibe! read more

Kids wanted to try hibachi since they never been. On this rainy day we decided to grab some lunch here. The kids enjoyed the filet mignon and my husband had the shrimp. I opted for some sushi rolls. Watching my daughter flinch every time a wielding spatula came close to her as well as the flames bursting off the grill. Made this trip well worth it. The food was all good , the service was excellent, the sushi rolls were tasty and they had a huge selection of rolls to choose from. Their menu was pretty extensive and had pretty much anything for even the pickiest of eaters. Lunch seemed to be half the price of the normal dinner price if your looking to come in for a early dinner and they had a pretty good 3 roll special that comes with soup or salad monday- Friday. My Kids really enjoyed their first hibachi experience and we had some good laughs together. read more

After movie on Saturday night we were looking for a place to have dinner. We searched around us and decided to have dinner at Kuchi Sushi & Hibachi. We sat on the group table for hibachi. After browsing through the menu we decided to order Sunshine Roll & Chicken & Shrimp Hibachi Combo. The best thing about the restaurant is that the hibachi is prepared in front of you by the chef. The chef was amazing and he was making everyone laugh while cooking the hibachi. The hibachi was delicious and tasty. We loved the hibachi. One of the best hibachi's that we had. We loved the sushi also. The dinner was amazing and the atmosphere was also electric. Loved the vibes from the restaurant. read more

I've had this place on my "Greater Tampa" collection list for a while and we finally gave it a try this past weekend. It had been years since either my fiancé or I have been to a hibachi grill, so this was a fun treat. We were seated quickly and joined a hibachi table with two other parties. Our chef was a lot of fun and full of funny jokes. He prepared the food efficiently and knew exactly how to portion everything out. The food was overall pretty good, and there was so much of it that I had TONS of leftovers. The yum-yum sauce really makes it too. I will say that some of the meats are a bit bland, which really makes you need sauce for flavor. Maybe that's the point? We would definitely come back some time again for hibachi. The food is good. The service is great. Oh, and don't be afraid to bring home your leftovers! My fiancé and I were shocked at the two girls to our left that each paid for a roughly $30 meal only to leave 90% of it! Such a waste of money and food! They were definitely repeat customers (got that throughout the conversation), so it's not that they were unhappy with the food. read more

I can recommend the server. However I cannot recommend the cleanliness of the establishment whatsoever. My friend and I arrived and asked to be sat at the bar. The waiter was very timely and helpful, we ordered, received our food, ate & then was able to gaze around the restaurant a bit more in detail since the place was dimly lit: I sat looking directly in front of me and over my head and viewed the following that was utterly appalling. I now will be more mindful to be better alert! Pic A- A dead bug on top of the sushi cooling bin Pic B- dirty, oily residual under the cashier Pic C&D, filthy vent directly over the food and raw sushi bar read more

We come here yearly for a neighborhood dinner. Tonight was atrocious. I said upfront that I'm a vegetarian, they brought me separate soup. (Yay) The chef cooked the meat basically with the veggies. Tried to give them to me.. nah.. I've been a strict vegetarian since 1995. They brought my separately cooked veggies out when everyone was boxing up. On top of it, I actually had to go to the bar to ask for water refills for my son and I . They did take $9 off of our $130 check when I politely explained my concerns. Kobe might be next year's place. read more

Kuchi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

After seeing the DoorDash reviews about this place, I figured I'd give it a try. I love hibachi but this place just didn't do it for me. I did order my meal to go which could be a factor . I'm a huge fan of Kobe's and I didn't even feel this place was close to comparable. I ordered the chicken hibachi and added shrimp and the chicken was bland. Everything seemed to be lacking flavor except for the rice. I love a good hibachi experience but I think I'd rather just stick with Kobe's. They were pretty busy when I came to pick up my food so I may just have to give them another chance with a dine in experience. read more

Good sushi and one of the better hibachi places we have been to. My husband requested we go to a hibachi place for his birthday. A friend reminded me that Kobe always sends a free meal coupon and I brought that up to him. In the end we decided we rather support local and the Kobe nearest to us has a less than four star rating - wow am I getting elitist on where I eat. I'm actually glad we chose here, because it was pretty empty so we didn't have to worry about my son's crazy antics and the food was good! FOOD - I always worry that hibachi will be too greasy. Not here! My husband got noodles, fried rice, vegetables, shrimp and steak. All of it was delicious. I really enjoyed the noodles. I ended up going with the Salmon Sushi Entree. I really enjoy that they have these combinations of sushi to order - theres a whole page of it. It was about $20 for a salmon roll, spicy salmon roll, and three pieces of salmon sushi. I feel like that combination a la carte would be less than $20, but I didn't get a chance to price it out. It is a little on the pricier side, but every piece of sushi was delicious. The salmon tasted fresh and not fishy. We started with shrimp shumai steamed. Honestly, it seemed to me like the type you could get frozen at the Asian market. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't get it again. ATMOSPHERE - from the outside this place looks pretty run down. It's in a random location as kind of close to the movie theater, but not walking distance. I guess it is a testament to the food that it has survived so far. Inside it is much nicer. It is split between the sushi side and the hibachi side. Both sides are pretty large. On a Monday night there were only a couple tables occupied. SERVICE - It is slow. This is not a get in get out restaurant. It takes a while for them to start the hibachi - maybe they are hoping that more people will come to share the table. Our server was nice though so I don't knock them for this. Just don't come here if you are in a rush. Overall I liked this place. It is hard to find someplace that both my husband and I will eat, but this is one of them. We will definitely return. read more

This is one of the most amazing sushi places in America! The hot saki was great. The Kuchi sandwich and Kuchi roll were name worthy and wholly unique. The sandwich had a bar-b-que flavor which really worked together. My wife had the peach saki as her first ever saki and LOVED it. She did two mango themed rolls and said it was amazing. read more

Food disgusting . First hibachi in Florida I was so disappointed. There is a smell in there and it lingers in the meat and seafood. I can't believe I've spent $75 dollars for terrible food . The atmosphere was pretty dull on. A Thursday night . Will I ever come back there ? The possibility is a High " NO". read more

Food was good sized portions, the chef made sure we didn't get eggs in our dishes and the other guest who was vegan. The hibachi demonstration was an average one they all do nothing spectacular or significant. If you have seen one you have seen them all. My young daughter wanted to come out here on our mommy daughter night before the movies. The chef kept hitting on me making my daughter uncomfortable. He asked her what her race was if she was mixed which didn't offend her but I sure didn't like it. I asked 4 or 5 times for siracha or some equivalent. There is a strange smell in the place, I think it's the water..or the plumbing cus the bathroom faucet water smells bad... or I don't know.. the place looks dirty and rub down. They definitely need to refresh the restaurant before I would come back. The lychee martini was delicious and strong. read more

The chef was engaging and hilarious. Food was good. The restaurant has plenty of seating for large parties.

FRAUD. THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE BOTH MY FRIEND AND I GAVE A 38% TIP. Thank God our banks caught it. I call the business and they're making us go in person to get the money back because there's "nothing else they can do. "DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS WITH YOUR $$$. I've never had this problem before. read more

I went to kichi and i'm very disappointed. the miso soup was great it have lots of flavor. the salad dressing was mushy and tasted expired. when we got out entree the chicken was not seasoned, the noodles were cold, and the rice was just not good.

My husband loves Hibachi, and my kids are getting to the age where they can appreciate the show, so we decided to check out Kuchi. Overall, our experience was good. Our chef was actually Japanese, which made this the first time we had a Japanese hibachi chef in Florida. He was hilarious, squirting sake into the adults' mouths and water into my son's face (to his delight). They were very generous with firing up the grill -- I'm relieved we left with eyebrows still intact. The kids loved it! Service was a little slow. It appeared that one waitress handled all the orders, drinks, salad, and soup for the whole Hibachi room. It was fine, except that I probably would have ordered another bottle of sake if she'd been able to come back and ask if I wanted anything else. Oh well, their loss. The sake they serve is not great quality, so I probably avoided a hangover by not getting more. My husband was not offered another bottle of beer, and the water was slow to be replenished. I left very thirsty. The food was fine. It was pretty standard Hibachi. My husband and I both had the steak and shrimp combo. My husband added on a side of lobster. My daughter had the kid shrimp meal, my son had the kid chicken meal. The kids loved the noodles and the veggies. We all felt that the salad was too creamy, could have been more acidic. We'll probably return again for Hibachi once I recover from the salt bomb. This certainly was the best Hibachi I've had in the Tampa area. And I'll probably order two beers for myself to avoid dehydration during the salty meal. read more

Ordered the Kuchi dinner for two. While the chef was somewhat entertaining the place is too noisy for our group of 11. Soup and salad was just OK. The lobster, shrimp, steak, scallops, and chicken were all fresh as were the veggies BUT the seasoning was way over the top on saline. Tasted extra salt in every meal for the next two days. Service was attentive. All this with no drinks for $70. read more

For my birthday I wanted Hibachi so I was btw Kobe since it's what I've heared about and a friend told me she heared Kuchi was good. We decided on Kuchi. I have to say it was a amazing experience, so much fun. We all enjoyed it (6ppl. Our chef Tanaka (I apologize if I misspelled it) provided the best entertainment and food that I would have imagined. Everything was delicious and flavorful!!! He engaged with everyone in my party and we absolutely loved that. We had 2 ppl in our party allergic to seafood and he prepped everything accordingly so they wouldn't be affected. We all had combo hibachi steak and chicken or steak and shrimp. It was so much food! We had left overs. Also if you let them know its ur bday u get sake shots in the most fun way! Even the happy bday part was awesome! I will definently go back and see Tanaka again. Also my party all agreed it was better than Kobe. read more
