    Have been to this place once before when they first opened.. the sushi itself is always absolutely delicious! Presentation is phenomenal as well. The amount of fish that actually goes into the rolls is astounding. We love how small the place is and the ambiance is nice. Only issue and reason for 4 stars is the wait time for the food. Other than that, love this place.

    Buccaneer Roll, Chicago fire roll, Samurai 1 roll and crunchy roll.

    One of the best sushi spots in Tampa. The food is always fresh and delicious!! Show up early otherwise place fills up fast. Worth the wait.

    Squid salad

    My favorite sushi in this area! It's cute, quaint and service is always on point! The sushi is always fresh and amazing! I could eat it every day if I could afford it. lol

    Osaka Roll / Shrimp Tempura Roll

    Sticky Rice never disappoints! I absolutely love this place. The sushi rolls are generously sized, and the flavors are phenomenal--definitely a standout compared to other sushi spots in the area. Their prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality. I've dined in once and had a great experience with the service. While the interior is on the smaller side, it's cozy and definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for delicious sushi for the night!

    One year later and they continue to serve top notch, fresh, mouthwatering sushi! The place is clean, the service is hospitable and it just an overall fave!

    From Top: sashimi deluxe, Garlic edamame, playboy roll, salmon avocado roll
    Emily N.

    We ordered the sashimi deluxe and that was a bang for your buck! The pieces were big and tasted fresh. Garlic edamame was your average, nothing too special but was good. Playboy roll was delicious. Good pieces of fish for a good price

    Heads up: Gratuity already added on Pick Up order

    Ordered To Go/Pick Up and just a heads up, there was a "Gratuity Service Charge" already added to the bill. Also nice to know that it is quite crammed inside with little seating and it does get rather busy. We ordered the SUMMERFIELD, JALEPENO BOMB, and VOLANO rolls. The rolls were HUGE and priced pretty affordable. From a taste stand point - not bad, it did the job at curbing the sushi craving. We were violently craving sushi that day so we were happy to stumble upon it. Would we visit again? Only if we were in the area. We are in St. Pete where there are ton of amazing sushi places so we don't foresee ourselves making the drive to this place again.

    Sushi : spicy tuna and Philadelphia rolls.... Seaweed salad

    The people are very nice and the food was really fresh!!! All was taste delicious. That's why I gave 5 stars. Overall was amazing, but it was a bit pricy Also. I will go back again here and there, else was a bit cheaper I would go at least twice a week. Thanks for good and fresh food

    Steamed gyoza and edamame

    This place is well known among locals. It's very small just 12 tables and 7 seats at the sushi bar. The food is delish and the sushi generous. Worth the ride if you're in the area. Go early to avoid a wait, or get takeout.

    Will return, for the real wasabi. A small eatery with good quality food. Wish they don't use disposable chopsticks - will bring my own next time -:( This is our first Japanese restaurant in Florida recently, and not surprised to see Sesame Chicken (Chinese), Thai tea, Thai Pad noodles, etc. on the menu. The Asian ethnic cuisine has a long way to go. A friend has invited us there for a few times but we were unable to go. Today we finally made it. We've ~ Sea weed salad - sweet ~ Cucumber salad - sweet ~ Yellow Lamborghini - very good, bit sweet ~ Taco chip (?) ~ Hamachi Kama - good, it takes about 20 min ~ Sashimi premium with real wasabi - very good, def will come back for this one.

    Philly, pimp my roll, garden of Eden, veggie

    Their menu items are upscale but prices remain decent. Lots of options, cooked, raw, fried. Gotta love the friendly service here! Everyone is so kind and wears a smile. When I picked up my take out, the told me "See you tomorrow!" I thought that was so cute. If I could afford to eat out everyday, I would pick Sticky Rice

    Assorted sashimi, King Kong roll, Crazy Monkey Roll, half & half salad, Captain Crunch Roll and Hot Mess Roll!!!
    Erika H.

    This is absolutely our favorite place, staff is super friendly and since we go there pretty often they remember you!! Treat you like family, and even tho it is small; the atmosphere and food is incredible and a foodies paradise! We actually don't go anywhere else now especially since it's close to our house. Definitely a riverview gem.

    OK, I was spoiled in San Diego with Michelin Star Ramen, but this is the first spot since moving…read moreback to Tampa that I feel is on the same level as back in San Diego. Let's start with the ambiance. I have been at this location when it was previously another restaurant and the upgrades done are exceptional. Kanji is a perfect date ambiance. (bring a jacket though, it can get chilly). As far as service, I've never had bad service here, and the recommendations are truly to leave you satisfied, not just to pad the bill. THE FOOD. The spicy Tonkatsu, fried oysters, gyosa, fried rice...heck almost anything on the menu as been amazing and the Sushi isn't stingy. You might pay a little more but you get a lot more. Full bar selection and good bartenders are just the plus. Clean bathrooms, clean restaurant, great food, great service. Highly recommend.

I decided to go with 2 rolls for lunch; a basic yellowtail roll, and a spider roll, which comes with fried softshell crab. While I was waiting, the sushi chef provided me with a specialty piece of yellowtail that was amazing! My rolls came out quickly, and they were absolutely perfect. While less pieces than I'm used to, the yellowtail roll was packed with fish. And the soft shell crab was perfectly cooked, plus I love that they provided the deep fried legs, too. Everything I received was beautifully plated on slate dishes, which is always a nice touch. Yes, I do think its more expensive than other sushi places ($4 for a soda, come on?!) but it was really excellent sushi. If I'm ever in the area again (which, honestly, I hope not to be), I would definitely return.

The menu has appetizers, sushi rolls, rice bowls, and ramen. There were lunch specials which are what we ordered. The chicken hibachi bowl is only $12 which I thought was a very fair price for the amount of food. The quality of the food is excellent. The punk rock roll was so good and it was different (with chopped strawberry, avocado, jalapeño, cucumber salad). I was impressed with the entire experience, from the theming at the moment I walked in, to the service, and most importantly the food.

I asked for the sriracha & eel sauce afterwards, but I didn't realize I was supposed to get cucumbers until after I finished my salad. Oh well. The sashimi quality was unfortunately not good. I also got a sake mule, which was ok. I love that their menu includes the calories on each dish! I would come back here again to try their ramen, and MAYBE try one of their rolls to see if maybe today was just a bad day for the kitchen.

    The sushi rolls are good. Not fabulous but better than Publix sushi…read more The ramen is disappointing and not prepared correctly. The noodles were gummy/chewy. It was as though the dry noodles were thrown in a warm bowl of broth. It wasn't cooked. And it was super salty and I do love salt but this was too much.

The waitress recommended the wontons, so I went with those, plus a classic salmon roll and a side of edamame. All in, it was a $20 meal... and honestly really filling. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the salmon roll. It wasn't your traditional small California-roll style it was a bit larger and packed with protein, which I loved. This spot is definitely a great soft introduction to sushi for people who aren't big on raw fish. If you're a die-hard sushi lover looking for super traditional cuts, this might not be your go-to, but they still have some really fun options. The new owner is fantastic, and she's been running lots of specials (including days where kids eat free!) and they're planning to start hosting events, too. Definitely worth stopping by and trying it out!
