Sake House is a hidden gem near USF, conveniently located off Bruce B Downs. A coworker highly recommended this place, so a group of us decided to try it, and it exceeded expectations. The online ordering process was seamless, and the restaurant itself was clean and inviting. The lunch specials offer excellent value, with generous portions that include your choice of protein, vegetables, soup, and rice (we upgraded to fried rice). I ordered the teriyaki chicken along with sushi rolls, and everything was fresh and flavorful. They also accommodated a soup swap for me at no additional charge, which was a thoughtful touch. Overall, a great experience with quality food, generous portions, and friendly service. I can see why it's a frequent go-to for locals! read more

If you like late night sushi (and you should), then look no further than Sake House! They're open till 2 AM so you can't miss them. Plus their sushi is really good. My sister picked me up from a late flight and our first stop was here. They were pretty busy despite the late hour so we placed our order to go and it took about 30 minutes. Everything was well packaged and delicious - and surprisingly well priced! Less than $30 for 3 rolls and cheese wontons. read more

They cook very well, I took everyone I know there. If we're in a company and we want to eat and no one has any options, then I always offer them this place. My favourite option on the menu is jaguar and Mexico read more

This is one of three wonderful Sake House locations! I can safely say that my girlfriend and I have tried all three (a plethora of times) and not once have we been disappointed. There is a certain kind of care that you can tell goes into these establishments and the preparation of the food you won't find anywhere else. The sushi rolls are big with a good amount of fish and other ingredients. They offer a "2-4-1" beer special on my most of their beers all day everyday which is unbeatable. Every time we have gone the vibe of either location has been chill and dark and enjoyable. If you're thinking about going, just go. Best sushi around for the best prices. Thank you SAKEHOUSE! read more

Went to Sake House and had a pretty average experience overall. The sushi selection was decent and a few rolls were actually really good, but others felt a bit plain and not as fresh as expected. read more

Jenny and Cam are so helpful and kind. They stay open late and you still receive great service and food. Its definitely a must try you wont be disappointed with their sushi rolls, hibachi , and appetizers. They also have bogo on wine and beer. You cant go wrong by stopping in. read more

Service was okay. Table was not cleaned before we sat down, but the nail in the coffin was when I was not informed about the prices on weekends is not $9.99 as advertised for lunch... but it's $12.99??? That's ridiculous to not tell anyone about that, it's $3 sure, but it's the principle. I won't be returning. read more

Ok- so I don't ever leave reviews, but this is the best sushi place I've ever had and I want to come back when I'm in town 10/10 would come back. The service was great, the environment was dope. The hardest choice was do I eat till I throw up or be a quitter? Luckily I didn't throw up, but I did waddle out to my car after incredibly happy. read more

I was just visiting the area and felt hungry. I came to this restaurant because they are open till 2AM! As I was waiting for a host to sit me, I noticed that they were pretty busy. Almost full house, but there were nonstop to go orders! I noticed that the service is a bit slow... since there were only 2 servers, and 1 of them is stuck doing to-go's, and another was running and doing everything else. The servers are not showing any care on what their doing because they are caught up on trying to run around. It would be better for another person or a manager to table touch. My orders were: Tuna tataki - I really like this item. It went really well with the chili flakes and tobiko. I wish it was sliced thinner. Volcano roll - tasty roll pretty big portion of imitation crab on top. Teriyaki beef - it was cooked well done, and the sauce was very sticky. The taste was good, especially since I paired it up with regular steamed rice. Miso soup was missing seaweed, tofu, and scallions... it literally didn't have much of anything.. As i was coming to the end of my meal, I saw that they actually had 4 servers. Could be that the other two were on break, though even when they came, the service was still the same.... a bit disorganized. read more

Great sushi place, we were staying nearby and checked out local restaurants that were recommended and happened to find this one. The service was fast, the staff friendly, the sushi fresh and flavorful. I recommend the dinner specials, I got one that includes two rolls, a miso soup, and Kuni salad. The place itself is small but uses the space well, I loved the decor and the booths were quite nice . I would definitely go again if starting in the area. read more

I'm not normally one to nitpick but whatever I ordered was disgusting. The batter used makes the roll soggy and completely the wrong texture for tempura sushi. It almost looked like fried dough. The crab rangoon was a decent portion though so there's that. read more

Sake house is one of my go to sushi spots. My food is always hot, fresh, and affordable. I was surprised when I saw they had a bogo deal going on Ubereats, which allowed me to order soup, spring rolls, wontons, and sushi for only $19! Some places you just don't switch up on, and Sake House is one of them. I'll always support a consistent establishment. read more

I just moved back over to Tampa Palms in Amberly and am so happy there is a sushi place in the plaza next door. Not to mention, this place is great. The quality of the sushi was good and the service was quick and friendly. They have these meal deal specials for 1 where you can get 2 roles and a miso soup or seaweed salad for between $12-15, which is unbeatable considering the amount of food you get for that price. And I believe they even had 2 for 1 on some of the drinks on their menu. I recommend this place! read more

Still in search for a good Sushi spot. Gave this place a try and let me start by saying the ambiance of this restaurant was club like vibes lol. It was very dark with neon lights and blasting music. The music was amazing but definitely not the normal dinner music. The food was just okay, however they did have great happy hour deals with drinks and food read more

Sake House - Volcano Roll and I can't remember the name of the other roll - Japanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came here for lunch with my puppy as part of her training. Her trainer says she needs to go out in public with me so she desensitizes to the outside public. I've been doing this for quite some time now. We arrive and the first thing I'm told is that there is no more outside seating for the restaurant when I ask to sit outside with my dog. She tells me that the restaurant is no longer doing outside seating, so I would have to be to-go. I knew this wasn't true, I frequent quite often and have seen the restaurant use outside seating almost every time. Even if I did to-go, I was told I couldn't stay on the property. I have received this kind of treatment before simply because of the breed of my dog, so it's safe to say that I was not happy with the delivery of this unfortunate news. If it wasn't for the food being so good and a go-to favorite of mine for a couple years now, I would've said no thank you and walked away. She was not very accommodating for us. I drive about 20-30 minutes to get this sushi since it's my absolute favorite. I have never had an issue with this restaurant until today, very disappointed in how she treated me as a customer simply because I had my dog with me. Unfortunately, after writing this, I don't think I'll be seeing myself here in the future. read more

Great lunch specials wow ! Good food - good service. Atmosphere- noise level can be louder than my norm but overall 5 stars worthy experience. The music inside the restaurant is loud. Will definitely recommend and come back. All the lunch rolls were made properly and great size too. read more

Y'all for REAL NEED TO CHANGE THAT DAMN SODA MACHINE REGULARLY! This place would be 100/10 if the soda was fresh and not like it's been sitting for hours read more

There comes a time when a restaurant forgets what made it so popular in the first place, well this is the time for this one for me. This is the 3rd time I've come and gotten less than edible food from them. Today I ordered my usual 2011 & I tried number 27 for the first time. Both tasted mushy and just disgusting. I couldn't even finish them. Also customer service has always been stretched thin, but today it was thin, rude, and unobservant. On top of this disaster, there was no wasabi, nor ginger added into the product. Also she gave me a lunch special which came with the soup and i didn't order that, which is why my bill was slightly higher than I expected. I am not feeling good from eating the food as if it was tainted, why didn't I call the restaurant because what would that really do...give me satisfaction but would they really change? Yeah I didn't think so. Now I take MY money elsewhere to be respected with quality food over convenience. read more

The food was terrific! The 4 of us all enjoyed our food. I ordered the dinner special of miso soup & 2 rolls (Viper Roll & Red Head Roll) with a side of eel sauce. Both were great. Although, I had a preference for the Viper Roll. I appreciated the lighting, which was bright on our table and dim elsewhere. Despite there being quite a few other people at the establishment, we felt we had an intimate dining experience. read more

Ohhhh you talking about the Go-To Tampa Sushi spot that's open real real late!!, everything is delicious here, from the food to the saki.

The food was incredible! Very fresh and rolls I've never seen before that were sooooo good! The space itself is nice with the sushi bar visible. We came in around 10:30pm and there were several people waiting so everyone was sat at the same time. We waited around ten minutes for our server but she took our entire order right away and the appetizers came out within a few minutes. Our sushi came out right as we finished the apps. Highly recommend stopping in. read more

Food was excellent. Sashimi and sushi very fresh. Salmon teriyaki very good and not overcooked. Best of all prices were reasonable. Beer was only 2 for six dollars Service was great An old style family owned restaurant. Comfortable We would definitely eat there again read more

Stopped by on a Thursday night around 8:30pm for dine in. Arrived out front and had to ring a doorbell on a table to enter (you are not permitted to touch the door handle at this time). I checked out the menu that was laying on the table while I waited for my ring to be answered. The most important thing to understand when coming to this restaurant or ordering takeout: it is VERY busy. Mostly with takeout orders and that is what the staff seemed to be focused on. Their menu prices are very reasonable and this is a college area. Be prepared to wait and be patient. They are still heavily following Covid protocols which I think is great. So with that, here's my pros and cons: PROS: - The sushi is hella fresh. Crunchy veggies, fresh fish, flavorful. It's quality food - Happy hour is all day and beer/wine are 2-4-1 ($6 for 2 drinks is a deal) - They offer $5.55 sushi rolls during certain time frames. I think it was 1-5pm and 8pm-2am but don't hold me to that - Very clean seating and they clearly wiped down the table before we were seated - Prices can't be beat! Especially for combos: I had a specialty roll with 5 pieces of sashimi for $13.99. This is why the phone is ringing off the hook and the staff is rushing to pack to-go boxes - Late night food. They are open until 2am CONS: - No real dishes at this time, except for alcoholic beverages. Water and soda is served in a massive styrofoam cup, soup is in a styrofoam bowl and sushi is served in a to-go box (which is efficient when taking leftovers because they simply give you a lid) - Parking is shared with the rest of the lot which includes Crunch gym. Be prepared to wait for a good spot or walk a bit - This place has limited seating. A couple of tables outside (do not recommend because it's very dark and right up against a concrete wall) as well as a few booths inside. I imagine this is why so many people order takeout - Slow service. NOT THEIR FAULT. There are only a few workers and they are constantly running around. No one is standing around doing nothing...they are really busting ass trying to fill orders while still be attentive to diners. Be patient, but I would not suggest coming here for a quick meal I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking for takeout sushi or who doesn't mind spending a while at a restaurant to enjoy quality food. They really do a good job with the food they provide and their prices are some of the best in Tampa. I'd go back to support them in a heartbeat. read more

I decided to return to Sake House because my last visit was very interesting. As I stated in my last review, there is a lot of potential here -- which is why I returned. They are still looking for help in the dining room and when I entered the staff was eating dinner. As soon as I came in they immediately all got up and we're ready to serve me. Tonight's dinner was an Alaskan roll and some salmon teriyaki. I also let my server know that I could not eat any egg and he assured me that they would take care of that. The Alaskan roll was absolutely excellent. I also ordered some green tea and this time it did not disappoint. Hot, fresh and my own little pot. Mmmm. Initial service times were good for my roll and sides. The salad is simple , it's basically just lettuce and dressing. The soup is standard miso, very good. The salmon teriyaki was served super hot, sizzling! Very good, sashimi grade salmon no doubt. All in all I was very happy with my meal and I do intend to return soon. read more

Arrived at the restaurant and their waiting space is pretty small. The line was forcing us to stand at the door and then we were yelled at to close the door so we didn't let mosquitoes in. Usually that would have been my reason to leave since the seater saw 3 parties standing there, but didn't ask us anything else. We stayed and squeezed 6 people into the small entry space and then a 7th joined and held the door open. We warned them about holding the door open and surprisingly the host didn't yell at them to shut the door. Once we were finally seated they were quick with their service. The host was also our server and it seemed his demeanor completely changed once we were at his table in a positive way. He was able to answer questions and give great recommendations. Both roles I had were pretty tasty. As well as the steamed shumai. I had roll number 69 sea breeze roll and 61- B52 cooked roll. The sea breeze was light and tasty, the cooked roll was heavy so I opted to eat it later back at home. It also came as a special with miso soup I forgot to take a photo of, but overall that was your standard soup. Overall it's good for the price you pay and I can see why it would be a go to late night. read more

The last two times I came was horrendous. The second to last the customer service was terrible and there was also a roach on the table. The server killed the roach while we were eating and offered us 5 dollars off on the next visit as compensation. And today I came I waited 15 minutes to be greeted meanwhile people that came after me were immediately greeted and sat down. If I didn't promise my family sushi I certainly would've walked out. read more

The Basics: Sake House is a sushi spot located on Amberly Drive in Tampa Palms. There was a prior sushi restaurant at this location, but it has since changed ownership. The restaurant is small and features some tables and booths as well as a sushi bar where you can sit. Things I like: The sushi is fine and there is a lot of variety to choose from. My favorite roll I have had from Sake House is the Tampa Roll. It is also a convenient spot as you can order pick up or get food delivered via Uber Eats. Things I didn't like: I was not very impressed by the quality of the sushi. It did not seem to made with much care. The Spicy Girl roll was fine, but the B-52 was difficult to eat because it was so heavily fried. Overall, I am not planning on returning to Sake House at the moment, but I may try to eat inside the restaurant at some point to see if I enjoy the food more when it is not being picked up for takeout. read more

By far the absolute best bang for your buck for sushi near USF. Open super late, great drink selection, great deals, great service, fresh sushi. The miso soup is fantastic, and miso soup is the best metric by which to judge Japanese food, if you ask me. Stop going to low-quality all you can eat joints, because you can buy the same amount here for a similar price with dinner special deals. Eat your bodyweight in actually tasty sushi. Did I mention they're open well past midnight? Atmosphere is lovely. Very clean, dim lighting, not too loud. Asian music playing. Sake bombs are 2 for $6. Hot sake is great and cheap. Hana Lychee is the best sweet sake I've ever had. The Chocolate Nigori is also absurdly good. read more

The staff was not understanding at all when a man at the table next to us kept staring at me and trying to take photos of me. They told us "that's out of our control" and we had to explain that they can control us leaving and getting away from him, which one would think is common sense. From the beginning of the night they sat us and never checked on us for 30 minutes no drinks until they realized they forgot to give us a server. Worst experience i've had so i won't be returning. The food is good just order take out. read more

Sake House - 54. Crispy Spicy Roll Beware this man - Japanese Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food: Food is actually now bad! Certainly a step up from South Carolina, as they didn't actively incorporate swamp water in every dish. Typically, this food will not give you food poisoning, rendering a solid hour on the toilet. Instead, it offers a yummy dining experience with adequate textures and options. Service: Usually, I am served by one waitress who is super kind, attentive, and funny! She has really cool tattoos. However, my most recent dining experience was guided along by a... interesting waitress. She started off by telling my friend and I to hurry up, only after five minutes of looking over the menu. Immediately, she proved to be outstandingly passive aggressive, seeming to take some sort of frustration out on us. We ignored it, but decided to decrease the amount we would tip. I hope to not encounter her again. Ambiance: Ranging from the unique tapestries to the cute little garage-sale fish hung up beside the table, I find this restaurant really cute. It's usually such a pleasure eating here, with only one negative experience. read more

Sake House is walking distance from my home and it's a dangerous thing. Haha They offer great lunch and dinner specials, which range depending on the specialty sushi. Both include miso soup and ginger salad. I usually order from the lunch/dinner special and my husband likes the spicy maki combo which comes with 3 rolls: spicy tuna, spicy salmon, and spicy yellowtail. The spicy maki combo also comes with soup and salad. Their crab Rangoons are called cheese wontons and served with a sweet creamy dipping sauce rather than the sweet chili sauce from most other sushi restaurants. Side note: When you order online, orders over $20 receive a $5 gift card and orders over $40 receive a $10 gift card. read more

I. Plus literally way here every night. 77 different rolls, all kinds of deals and a quiet atmosphere dining in. I have not a bad thing to say about it! It does seem like there are different deals for carry out vs dine in, mainly pertaining to appetizers. But either way, you'll have great sushi? read more

Diamond in the rough !!!! I hesitate to write a review because I always get a table every time we dine here . I don't want it to get too busy ... let's get to it !!! The tiny Sake House packs a mean punch when it comes to sushi , sake and service . Their sushi preparation station is in full view with two gentleman putting their heart and soul into filling the dining room orders, takeout , and mobile orders . The waitress suggested so many wonderful rolls that they offer along with stir fry and sake . We dined on clear soup, bottles of sake , stir fry,appetizers , and of course dessert ~we got the entire experience. Everything was fresh , savory , simply delicious. A go to place for us always !!! Give them a try . read more

Very nice the food was delicious and fresh and the waitress was very nice I definitely want to come back soon

While I do appreciate the deals and price range of the food here I do find the quality has room for improvement. Placed an order online and the food was not ready by the time we arrived. There seemed to be a good crowd of people dining in and taking out. The sashimi was a bit warm and had a subtle fishy taste that I usually associate with bad fish. The rolls were ok nothing to write home about and the dumplings were cooked well. Maybe the quality would vary if we ate inside instead of take out. If you're looking for deals this is the place but don't expect the best quality. read more

I found this on Yelp and saw they have good reviews plus happy hour and $5.55 on 30 different sushi options so I figured lets give them a try. I came around 6 PM and they had multiple to go orders. I was the only one there and few more people came after. I had three different rolls and I really enjoyed them! I had the mange Roll #25 and It was good, Crab special #27 also delicious, and Kamikaze roll #29, I think I enjoyed this the most. It was fried and had cream cheese too. I highly recommend them and will definitely return and recommend it to friends read more
