While this restaurant is well known for its sweet desserts, I decided to try their bento box for…read morethe first time -- specifically the chicken bento box -- and I was pleasantly surprised. The box came well-assembled: white rice topped with teriyaki chicken, garnished with rice seasoning, a side of noodles also seasoned with rice seasoning, a salad with dressing, and two pieces of fried gyoza. The gyoza were the highlight for me -- crispy and quite good. Overall, the ensemble made for a satisfying, no-fuss meal. Simple, decent, and I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The ambiance is where this place really adds some personality. One corner of the restaurant is dedicated to DIY painting activities, making it a great spot for creative types or families. On the other side, there are claw machines for those feeling lucky enough to win a stuffed toy. It gives the place a lively, playful energy that sets it apart from your average dining spot. Service was good. All in all, a fun place for an easy, enjoyable meal

First thing I noticed walking in was the painting pottery corner??? So precious. Looks like…read moresometimes they have figured you can paint and there's a whole section of DIY paint materials. Very cute addition. Makes it more of a "third place" vibe. Three claw machines at $1/play is dangerous too. I might have to try for a gengar. I got the iced latte and it was over $8 for a regular size which is wild but this is a dessert spot, not a cafe, so I'm not mad at it. It's very creamy. Tastes like melted ice cream (not a bad or good thing). Plan on trying dessert another time.

But this fried rice was so good. It seasoned perfectly with the fatty beef make that whole fried rice flavors were very rich. I got the Uni sushi and it was the sweetest and the creamiest thing I've ever had. The server told me that they get fresh Uni every week from Japan. I also got the sushi combo and they were very nice that they let me substitute tuna to more salmon because I personally don't like tuna. Everything was so fresh. Everything was so good even the water was very refreshing and did not taste weird. The server was very sweet and kind. She tried her best to cater us such as substitute my sushi she was talking to us and she's very likable. We will definitely come back and try other things. The Whole place was very clean and big.

The Galbi was very good and a nice size portion. The kimchi, potatoes also very good. The tuna cucumber avacado roll and Bayshore roll were good but would try the specialty rolls next time. The octopus skewer was interesting a bit chewy but still good. The restaurant is clean and tables were set for guest. The restrooms were also clean. We will be back.

Went with ramen Tokonstu my favorite, i swear it looks so massive in their bowls lol. Did the dinner special also with the rainbow roll and the dynamite roll. Took the ramen home and ate the rolls. I had a beer and that sent me to the moon lol i don't remember what my sister ordered hut it had a blooming flower of crab meat that look like cheese. Mom went a skillet, it was livid! Lol took about half an hour for it to be safe for her to eat. Cute presentation but order some side stuff whole it cools. Couldn't do dessert this time, due to my dieting i have trained my body to eat very little and high protein meals. Today was my cheat day. On the path of Keto. Sht works just trust the process. Guaranteed -1-2lbs a weeks 0-50 carbs a day n it just falls off by itself. 2+ if working out. I will be coming back later since im working more now that i can and om usually around here after work. I can just eat just the fish n side salads it be bueno. ***Would love to see a keto roll like; substitute the rice for riced cauliflower. The madam that had use was nice n attentive. very pleasant. It was nice and dimed but the music kept the other guest also happy. I am so glad this establishment is prospering cuz i really like their food a lot.

We our table was ready we walked inside they had to wait a little longer for someone to clean it so they gave the kids some fish food to feed the fish. Once we were seated our waitress greeted us and got our drink and food orders in. She was super helpful the whole time. Our chef was super fun in the beginning we were having a good time and then all of a sudden he was silent the rest of the time. He played all the food and did ask what we did and didn't want and tasted pretty good. I ordered sushi as well but wasn't a fan of the tuna it tasted like it had been sat out. Overall a good experience for flavor you definitely get a lot of food for your money.

Food and ambiance here are always 5/5. What's not to love about having a dinner and a show! Not to…read moremention, portion sizes are pretty good. I always love getting the Tuna as my protein option cause not very many places have this option Teppanyaki style. My gripe comes with the service and not so much the chef or wait staff but the time it takes to sit down. It doesn't matter if I have a reservation or if I come in as a walk-in, anytime I want to sit at Teppanyaki tables, my wait is anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. It doesn't matter if the restaurant is busy or if the restaurant is dead, all of my experiences have been the same with that same wait time. This seems to be a common issue with this Kobe's and I think it's a huge issue that they need to resolve. I'm very hesitant about even giving three stars because of that cause this makes it such a hard restaurant to frequent or recommend. If they are able to fix that one issue then I know I would come here much more often. With that being said, if you choose to eat at the dining room, you won't have any wait issues, but people come to Kobe's for the show so you'll be missing out on part of that experience.

Every bite tasted fresh, like the ingredients were prepped with intention and not just thrown together. Our server was genuinely friendly, the kind of person who makes you feel welcome the moment you sit down. Great energy, great attitude, it added so much to the experience. The restaurant itself is spotless. Clean tables, clean floors, clean atmosphere. You can tell they care about presentation and comfort just as much as the food. If you're in Tampa and want a place with big portions, fresh food, warm service, and a clean environment, Luang's Bistro is absolutely worth stopping by.

Upon entering at 3:55pm we were seated and at 4pm the waitress asked what we wanted. We explained we would like the lunch special that ends at 4pm. She responded with several questions, "what type of soup, what type of rice, etc.". Goes back to the kitchen and several minutes later returning asking again, "what type of rice?" Waitress disappears into the kitchen once again. I can't make this up, the waitress returned again to our table stating "it is now past 4pm so we can't have the lunch special it ended at 4". There was also a pungent musty odor in the restaurant, that added even more reason not to eat there. We looked around and we realized we were the only patrons in the restaurant. We let the waitress know, we will find somewhere else to eat.

Instead I had a sushi roll and shared an order of fried rice and chicken katsu. Everything was great. The chicken was crispy, but not dry on the inside. Fried rice has a nice flavor and wasn't overwhelmed with vegetables and other ingredients. My roll was great too. I can't recall which one it was but it had shrimp tempura eel sauce and spicy mayo. The shrimp was crisp, the sauces complemented well and I really enjoyed them. The restaurant itself is not huge as you can see from the attached pic, but the booths are still comfortable and spacious.

The crab rangoon was perfectly crispy and a good amount of filling inside. The specialty roll was very nice it was a kani wrapped in tuna it was very light with good flavor. Definitely will be back.
