They offer 3-4 pages of items you can order from apps to sashimi, hand rolls, regular and specialty roll, noodles and ramen. All are included in the all you can eat price. There is a 90 minute table limit, but that is an enough time to enjoy. There was something for everyone at our table and we are until we couldn't anymore, all within the 90 minutes. Just be careful that you don't over order because any excess is weighed and a percentage if payment is required to avoid unnecessary waste. When I go back to Tampa, I will be stopping here everytime because it is the best bang for your buck and fun to share plates with friends and/or family. Go hungry, leave happy!!! It's no frills kind of place with great music playing, but also pretty casual clothing. They offer specials on certain days and on some drinks but we opted for water to better enjoy the food. There is a regular menu if you choose not to do the all you can eat.

The hostess was pleasant when arriving and presented herself with exceptional sleek style. Someone brought me a palate cleanser drink which was rhubarb and lemongrass water. It was smooth and refreshing. The server guided me through the cocktail menu which was an exploration all its very own. I choose the cocktail called Opposite Day- Japanese whiskey, sweet Sauvignon Blanc, salted wine and roasted beets- twist on a whiskey sour but flipped! Oysters were light and fresh and the juice in the shell was precision clean. It really pops the flavors of the oyster. Yellowtail jalapeño handroll- it is designed to be eaten similar to a taco. The yellowtail was superbly fresh, the jalapeno was a mild touch to accompany the dish and didn't try to be the star. and the homemade soy sauce didn't over power the fish. Duck leg finished with a Szechuan spice and finished a pear au jus. The duck fell off the bone and was bursting with a complex blend of elegant flavors. As you check is presented they served you the tea of the day which was Hibiscus citrus Japanese tea in the most sophisticated teapot sitting on Japanese bamboo, which was a nice touch in the meal Upbeat modern music vibe Helpful, friendly weight staff that explains every item in detail as you order it, and when it brought to the table.

We've been to…read morethe kaiseki experience at Kosen two years ago and been dying to try their cocktail bar concept. The entire dining area and booth is now Tanto and they have themed cocktail menus that changes seasonally. They have a small bites menu which includes handrolls! Service was good, attentive and we got a nice view of the bar where the bartenders were amazing! They were shaving down ice for the cocktails. Very cool. The seasonal menu has already changed, so I am not sure of the drinks we got lol both were fun and just okay.. mine came in a cone shape ceramic and very tart? The food was pretty good - some hits and misses. The caviar service was good but came with thin chips that break. I would recommend small pancakes. The sea bream hand rolls were good and the chirashi was very good. The karaage was good but the chive aioli was incredible. Overall cool concept but would love a bigger entree options on their menu. This would open up more patrons to visit who don't want to drop $500 for sushi

Our server was silly and loved his laugh and dancing to the music. An interesting selection of 70's and other music. This atmosphere is clean and open, & the floor reminds me of an open dance floor.

When I first arrived the parking lot was packed, & I was worried there may be a bit of a wait, especially since this was a spur of the moment stop so I didn't have a reservation. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get a seat immediately upon entering. My server was very friendly & went over the menu a bit with me since it was my first time here, & I decided on doing the AYCE dinner that way I could try a bit of everything. I got some hot green tea as well as a bottle of Peach Soju. I got a whole pot for the tea, & the soju was served in a small ice bucket, which I thought was cool because I love to keep mine chilled! I started off with a couple appetizers & some sashimi, the presentation was amazing & the freshness of the seafood delicious! My favorite was definitely the Blue Fin tuna, & apparently I wasn't the only fan because they had run out of almost all of it which was a little sad but just means I'll have to come again to try some more lol. The sushi rolls were fantastic & rolled perfectly, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach because I wanted to order 1 of every roll but after my fourth roll I could feel myself getting full & sadly had to stop there. I did order some fried oreos for dessert which just hit different when they are done in tempura batter, I love it! The only thing food wise that I could critique is definitely the miso soup, while it looks really good, it was bland & just tasted like warm water & tofu. The restaurant itself is styled really well, I remember when this location used to be a Red Lobster but looking at it now there's no way you could tell. Even though the booths are pretty close together they were surprisingly quite, I could barely hear anyone that was around me, it felt like I was in a coffee shop instead of an actual restaurant.

These were served together on a black plate. We also added the red dragon roll and the spider roll, which arrived on a white boat plate. We started the meal with edamame and chicken karaage. The presentation was clean, and the rolls provided a solid portion size for a lunch portion. The service was good and attentive throughout our visit. Our waitress was highly informative. She took the time to explain the lunch specials and offered her top menu picks to help us decide. She checked in on the table the right amount of times to ensure we had everything we needed without hovering. The dining room is small and cozy. The space features Japanese-inspired decor, mural walls, booth seating, and low lighting. This gives it more character than a standard strip-center restaurant. Parking is easy. There is an ample parking lot located on the side and behind the building.

I went into this location today and I was disappointed by the experience. I came here because I've…read moreheard that poke bowls were good and since this place was closest to me, I decided to give it a try. I walked in and the store was nearly empty, with only one customer ahead of me who was also a first-time customer just like me and was asking the guy questions about their sauces and etc. After a couple minutes of me waiting, another couple walked in behind me and that's when a woman came out of the kitchen to help with the line. Despite there barely being customers, the woman rushed through the interaction and was rushing me. When I wanted to ask questions (y'know to make sure I make a bowl that's actually edible), she had an attitude as if I was a bother. Any word I spoke was met with "what else. what else. what else." I was genuinely confused because obviously business is slow if they have to give a deal for a free can of soda if someone orders a bowl after 5pm. You need customers. Just from the way she handled me, it made me uncomfortable and no longer interested in trying out anything they had to offer. I ended up leaving without anything from there and went a little further down to "The Dough Show" for my lunch break and the service (and food) was excellent.

I was not disappointed at all as the broth was delicious and it was a huge serving (I upgraded to jumbo and it was worth it). My wife had chicken stir fry with Udon noodles and it was good. My daughter had drunken noodles and it was also very good. None of us could finish our meals and we took home boxes of food. We liked everything so much we even ordered fried rice to go. The service was absolutely fantastic and all the staff were also friendly and helpful. Portions were great and the prices were very fair. Overall one of the best new places we've tried in the last year and we will definitely be back.

If you're looking for the American hibachi experience, Kobe Japanese Steakhouse is the way to go. I…read morewill jump around a bit with this review as I am returning to writing, but hope that it makes sense as you read it. The restaurant is located conveniently within the Grand Plaza of the Carrollwood area in northern Tampa. The parking spaces in the front does get crowded and full rather quick, however there are plenty of spaces in the back that isn't too far of a walk. The entrance/main door is actually off to the side under the hard structure roofing - you walk through a small section of the outdoor seating patio to get to it. It must be noted that this review and experience is based on the following factors: - The review is written strictly for the American hibachi experience. The restaurant does offer other a la carte options if you don't want the "showmanship" and flair with your dining experience. - A reservation was made through Open Table. I highly recommend making a reservation beforehand. This was purposeful and intentional due to the occasion, and I wanted to make sure we were locked in. I feel that this also made for a smoother seating process as the restaurant had to prepare the table and chef. All in all from arrival to getting seated, we waited no more than 10 minutes after our entire party was present. - There were 12 individuals in our party which also accounted for the prompt seating (I believe you are paired and tetris'd with other guests for smaller parties). 12 is the max that a table can host - anything more will require multiple tables. I want to emphasize at this point how Kobe Japanese Steakhouse is suited for large parties. Most, if not all, the individuals in our party have not had American hibachi for as long as we can remember. We also had children in our party. Taking this all into account, it turned out to be the perfect venue for any type celebratory events (business outings, birthdays, baby showers, etc.) I could not recommend this place enough if you want an "easy winner" to delight the group. Now let's talk about the food and the chef. The quality and taste definitely exceeded our expectations. The food was cooked perfectly and the meats were extremely tender and flavorful. While not the most animated of the chefs there, our particular chef was very attentive to our needs. He ensured that our meal was enjoyable and delicious. Pricing-wise, you're looking at an average cost of $30 to $40 per individual. Overall service was not bad - the most important part was that everyone was welcoming and friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend Kobe Japanese Steakhouse if you are the one planning for a large group!
