First time eating here and it didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and creative. Service was stellar and our waiter was knowledgeable about not only the food menu but the drink menu as well. Hubby and I started with the neki toro and tempura poke rolls both which were super fresh. The rolls also seemed to have less rice than other sushi restaurants we frequent which we both loved. If you are a tuna lover like I am, I highly recommend to try the toro flight as well! The Dungeness crab salad was interesting but absolutely delish. It comes on a bed of tuna carpaccio which makes for a nice presentation. The kamo crostini (duck breast with onion jam on house made toast points) is inventive and flavorful. Each bite had that satisfying sweet and savory element to it. To round out our supper, we also shared the kinoko gohan with salmon (mushroom coconut rice with a salmon filet) and it was for sure the highlight of the meal!The salmon is marinated and cooked to perfection so it just melts in your mouth and much like the crostini, there is a sweet and savoriness to each bite of the salmon and rice. For desert we tried the soy milk panna cotta which was silky and light. The restaurant itself is super cute and well done inside. It is dark enough to create a cozy, intimate ambiance without being so dark you can't see what you are eating. The noise level is also acceptable. The restaurant was pretty busy while we were there yet we were still able to enjoy good conversation without feeling like we had to yell to one another across the booth. We cannot wait to go back! read more

What an amazing evening and experience. The staff is incredibly helpful and nice. The food is incredible extremely fresh. Had the omakase and it did not disappoint. The most delicious and surprisingly treat was the chocolate covered foie gras. Don't be a hater you must try. read more

Definitely a five star experience. 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. read more

The moment you walk to the menu to the staff, everything is so well thought out! We had a variety of roles and advertise, and everything is absolutely delicious. The preparing went so well and really brought out the seafood. I also love that we were able to sit in the booth. It was cozy and felt extremely intimate. Will definitely be back again. read more

The food and service were amazing. We were visiting in Tampa and would love to come back. The sushi roll had fresh fatty tuna. I ordered the bao bun thinking I would still be hungry but couldn't finish it because the sushi was so filling. It's a very intimate environment and not loud/crowded read more

I was recommended to try Noble Rice by a few people so I knew I had to stop by. The location is very chic - it's in the heart of Channelside near Sparkman Wharf and parking was easy to find. The interior of the restaurant was very romantic, dark and modern. Our server was exceptional - she was passionate, knowledgeable, funny and attentive. She recommended some super delicious foods and we loved everything she told us to order. The negitoro roll was so fresh and flavorful. The duck crostini was unlike anything I've ever had before - sweet from the caramelized onions, slightly savory from the duck and had a nice crunch to it. The ramen was so good! The broth was flavorful and well seasoned with the noodles cooked al dente. Highly recommended! read more

I'm going to say something bold, hands-down this is the best restaurant in the Sparkman's wharf area! This Michelin rated restaurant will not disappoint. The sushi is fresh and unique with the different options and flavors they have. If you're a sushi lover you can't go wrong with any of the sushi options. I recommend getting the Ramen. I can truly stay It was the best Ramen I have had in Tampa! Something to note is there is plenty of parking at the garage across the street. If you happen to go on an event night all you need to do is show your reservation and parking is only five dollars. I will surely be back to this beautiful restaurant for some Ramen, an amazing sushi! read more

First time checking this spot out. From the reservation to the paying the check, it's evident that they took their time with creating a real experience here. The restaurant and outside entrance is decorated beautifully. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations based on diet restrictions and allergies and didn't rush us at all, especially since we're indecisive on what we wanted to try. The food is absolutely amazing. Flavorful, filling and played wonderfully. Don't walk run to this spot. Oh, the reservation confirmation being used as a way to get a discount on parking was chef's kiss. Just show the parking attendant and it made a $40 parking fee just $5! I mean that was worth it in itself in my opinion. read more

So good everytime!! I ordered an array of things so here we go: For the first part we got the karaage, chicken bao buns, and sashimi peppers. Second part we did king salmon sushi and negi toro. For drink I ordered the lychee mocktail and toki high ball. Every single food item was 10/10. I don't think I can pick a favorite item Our waiter was so nice and helpful asking if we had any questions and gave recommendations. I also like that the other waiters help each other out by clearing plates and also bringing food out. Food gets to you pretty quick! Ambiance is a dark intimate setting perfect for a date night. Will always recommend this place to people! read more

Great food, great ambiance and good service. Noble rice is one of me and my wife's go to places. She enjoys the sushi, and I love the ramen. The drinks are good and so are the desserts. I recommend this place in Tampa as one of the better options. read more

Cannot say enough good things about the food here. Those with an issue regarding portions, you can denote that they've never had anything near an omakase experience. That's okay, this place was spectacular with service ambiance and food to boot. The Dungeness Crab was made with Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio, avocado and a yuzu vinaigrette for the umami that gives you goosebumps. Cannot wait to return to this Michelin 2025 joint. read more

We went to Noble Rice years ago when it was on Platt and absolutely loved it. We hadn't been since their move and the new Michelin guide status, so we knew we needed to check it out for our anniversary. Parking can be pretty rough. We were unaware there was a hockey game and other events going on already at 5 that night. I thought we'd beat it all, but that was a mistake. The parking garage across the street when there are events is $30 but if you show them your reservation it drops down to $5! The service. They are all trained so well. Even when you have your little chopstick wrappers on the table - it didn't matter if it's your server or not, they quietly snatch it up as they walk by. I watched the wait staff and they were all great, but... WOW! We were so blessed to have Kora as our server that evening. You can just tell the difference when someone is being kind because it's their job and when they're just genuine. She is exemplary! Her friendliness and bright personality really made this experience special. She made incredible recommendations. We tried things we never would have tried otherwise, and she was spot on. She is a true gift to your restaurant. We started with sushi rolls - the tempura poke and the kani. The tempura poke had a great texture and the white soy with it was nice. The kani - I wasn't sure about apple - but it was such a light roll that had a freshness too it that was refreshing. The wagyu shrimp toast. I was very surprised with how much I enjoyed what seemed like a large pile of herbs. It looked like it would be too fragrant, but you just get these nice hits of mint and cilantro. The toast was crisp on the outside but everything was soft and pillowy inside. The fried chicken bao buns. The buns themselves were nice and thinner, not super doughy. The chicken was delicious but the red eye gravy took it over the top with a nice slow burn of heat. This place is outstanding. Our favorite in the Tampa area, and we will definitely be back - a lot sooner than last time. read more

Ordered ichijiku (fig) sour and sakura martini for drinks. The drinks were really good because I like fruity-type drinks. Also ordered Kinoko Gohan (mushroom rice), salmon sashimi, shishito peppers with country ham on the side, tuna sashimi platter (akami, Chu toro, toro, otoro), umami roll, and negi toro. If you are vegetarian, there aren't a ton of option but the mushroom rice, shishito peppers, and umami roll tasted phenomenal. The tuna sashimi platter was great because you can try different selections (from leanest to fattiest tuna). My favorite was the fattiest tuna. The negi toro roll was also super yummy. We had Leige waffle for dessert and it was unique. Service was great; our server explained the menu and provided recs. Ambiance was nice for a date night spot. read more

First time dining here. We came here for happy hour. Happy hour every Tuesday to Saturday from 5-7pm. I would really suggest getting reservations. The restaurant got busy fast! Hour menu isn't large but the attention to detail is amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful, love the decor. The staff were very sweet and courteous. Dylan was our sever, doppelgänger of Kieran Culkin. Awesome job. We tried few drinks, i had the Out in Osaka. It's their take on espresso martini. Oh wow, SO STRONG. It took me a while to finish the drink. My friend had the Kawaii-Rita, very good but on the sweeter side. For food, we tried Karage, Tempura Poke Hand Roll and Sake ribs. Phenomenal! Overall, amazing! Will be back for more. read more

Loved this place! Some of the best sushi I've ever had. The nigiri, particularly the King Salmon, was so fresh and just melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the King Salmon roll, which had a hint of citrus on the top, bringing out some tanginess and balancing out the flavors. There was a diverse menu with great options for rolls, makis, and sharable plates. The service was super friendly and helpful in deciding the best dishes. I'd definitely visit again! read more

I can't believe it's been over 3 years since Noble Rice opened and this was our very first visit! It absolutely blew us away. The service was impeccable. Hostess Angel greeted us warmly, and our server Allison A. was simply outstanding ~ easily one of the best experiences we've had anywhere in Tampa. We started with drinks, and every single one was perfect. The Lychee Martini was smooth and floral, the Espresso Martini had just the right kick, and the Haku ~ their version of a Moscow Mule ~ was phenomenal. My husband is a self-proclaimed Moscow Mule connoisseur, and he gave it high praise. The food? Next-level. The Tuna Carpaccio was the star of the show ~ literally melted in our mouths. We also loved the Classic Poké, Tempura Poké Rolls, and the Tekka Roll ~ all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented with different types of soy causes for each. The only item that didn't quite hit the mark for us was the Hanabi Maki ~ still very fresh, just not our personal favorite. I'm sure many others enjoy it! What really stood out was the service ~ something that has unfortunately been on the decline across Tampa in recent years. But at Noble Rice, everyone went above and beyond. Allison didn't just take our order, she asked thoughtful questions about our taste preferences, made drink and dessert recommendations (the Panna Cotta dessert was heavenly), and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Our only wish? Larger portions ~ because everything was so good, we didn't want it to end. An amazing 18th anniversary dinner!! We'll absolutely be back. Thank you, Noble Rice, for making it so special. read more

We had a great experience here! We had a reservation for 7:00 PM on Saturday night. When we arrived around 6:50ish we were seated immediately. The host and our server were both very friendly. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to make great recommendations to us. We ordered all of our items at once and she was able to course them out very nicely. I had the spicy lychee martini and it was great. We ordered several different menu items including nigiri, bulgogi hand roll, negi toro roll, tempura poke roll, chicken Bao buns, and the kinoko gohan. Everything was great!!! I think my favorite three items were the kinoko, Bao buns, and tempura poke roll. Excellent experience and would come back! read more

Men, this place will hurt your pockets. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the your pockets hurting and the upper class. The dim light, the bar, the people, if you want to impress someone this your spot. Service was also very friendly which always makes a difference. Now for the food: The Bulgogi Hand Roll was very good. The cucumber salad inside added a fresh contrast. Hard to dislike, 8/10. The King Salmon Roll was unfortunately a bit bland and underwhelming. Really didn't taste like much but if you're picky with the more unique ingredients they use then this is your roll, 4/10. The Bao Buns were easily one of the highlights. The braised short rib was sweet, tender, and packed with flavor. The cabbage and the pear added a lovely texture, 8/10. The Tempura Poke Roll tasted incredibly fresh -- you could genuinely taste the quality of the fish. Once again though, if you want to taste the fish and different ingredients in the roll as I do, then it will still be underwhelming, 6/10. THE STANDOUT of the night was the Karaage Chicken. Crispy, flavorful, and paired with a citrusy-style mayonnaise that complemented it perfectly. WHO TF doesn't love great fried chicken?, 8.5/10 The Miso Kaiyo Salmon paired with the Mushroom Rice was probably my least favorite as I just don't like mushrooms. However, the salmon was tasty and extremely tender, but I think I'd skip this one regardless, 6/10. Was it worth it? I would lean towards yes, if you order the right things. Would I return? Eventually yes. read more

Would give 4/5 on a grand scale, but it's a Tampa 5. I would skip on the waffle for dessert, but definitely get the handroll specials for the value. The sushi quality and freshness is the best thing about Noble Rice. The Tuesday service was great from the moment we were greeted (8pm) to the moment we left (10pm). At some point we were made aware they had to re-do the bone marrow and I appreciated the communication from our server. The ambiance is great for conversation and dates. Music was an enjoyable bpm and decibel. Comfortable temperature inside. read more

Noble Rice is definitely on the pricier side and the indoor space leans more industrial, but everything we tried was very delicious.

The pickled beet root in the salmon sashimi was a nice touch. read more

We've had omakase at the bar which is not as intimate of an experience as a traditional omakase restaurant (such as their sister restaurant Koya). However, if you've never had omakase it may be a cheaper way to try it out and it's nice that noble rice offers this! We finished the experience still hungry but they ask if you'd like to purchase any single pieces. My husbands only gripe was when doing this you couldn't get an exact replica of something you just ate (ex. can order scallop but can't get it with the truffle topping). We're willing to pay extra but it just wasn't an option. read more

We dined on a Saturday evening for a reservation at 5PM. There was a line already at the door prior to opening, and I am uncertain if everyone had reservations or were walk in. The website had no openings after 5pm however the restaurant was not completely filled. I appreciate this to allow for more attentive service without overwhelming the staff. The restaurant is beautiful with dim lighting. I think the food was good, but I was not blown away. Our server provided recommendations and we were happy with most of our choices. The maki were flavorful and the ingredients didn't clash. My favorite item was the kale salad which was packed full of different flavors of the palate as well as delightful textures; definitely unforgettable for me. read more

Noble Rice - Out in Osaka - very similar to an espresso martini, with a creamy top!! So good! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Really enjoyed our dinner at Noble Rice! We originally had a reservation at 9PM but that was quite late for us so we arrived exactly at opening to try and get a table earlier. They were able to seat us at 5pm with the stipulation that we give the table back at 7pm which was super doable for us. The wait staff was extremely kind and gave great recommendations, even going as far as telling us what not to get and what was good nearby for dessert when none of their options were to our preference! That kind of honesty was really appreciated. Unfortunately I only took photos of the tartare and the chicken bao because we devoured everything else. I really liked the tartare, it had a unique flavor with the pear that was both sweet and spicy. We also got the negitoro and tempura poke rolls, and surprisingly I enjoyed the tempura poke roll more! It came with a light soy sauce that really brightened the dish. Thanks again for fitting us in early! We will definitely be back soon. read more
