California crab roll (not krab).
Giselle L.

From someone who is cautious to eat seafood out in general, this sushi is AMAZING. Generous portions, well balanced, and super fresh. If you're ever catching a show at the Tampa Theatre or nearby, check it out! The owners were super sweet, described the rolls, and followed up after to make sure I was satisfied. They have two little tables set up out front where I sat and enjoyed the beautiful weather and breeze. Will eat again!

It's so hard to find good sushi in Tampa Bay and this place exceeded my expectations! I drove all…read morethe way from downtown St Pete on a IG recommendation (that's how little good options you have in this area unfortunately) and I was not disappointed. The staff and owner were very friendly and personable and the food was even better! I ordered the gyoza (this is fried and the filling is an in-house recipe pork filling, might be different from your regular gyoza but still yummy and worth trying), and had the Nigiri Flight which was amazing! I'll let the picture speak for itself, but you need to come in and try it for yourself. The fish was fresh and each one was better than the other. I even loved the tamago (which they prepare in house) and I normally am not a fan of it. All the nigiri were well sized and super filling, I could have done without the dumplings and the salad, and still would have been more than satisfied. The place is also very well decorated and styled, I truly think they hit all the points with food, service, and ambience. You can tell the owner puts his heart and soul into this place and it shows in the food and your time there. It was a very pleasant experience and I am so happy to have found Isekai!

Solid service by Brian Cons Closed Sundays The seats are a bit uncomfortable after sitting for 1 hr. Some of the longer tables are made of smaller individual tables of different heights. It's a thin and long type of seating situation so it can fill up quickly. Overall: A pretty good sushi restaurant for Citrus Park area.

Honestly was so pleasantly surprised with how amazing this restaurant was. Our server was Gracie…read moreand she was an absolute gem! She was so efficient and kind - no notes! I ordered the sweet potato caterpillar roll. And felt that it tasted a little bland, considering all of the different ingredients in it. I also had the eggplants bao buns. I rarely see vegetarian bao buns and these did not disappoint. Highly recommend the bao buns. The restaurant was so cute inside and the bathrooms were clean.

Went on a Friday night and have been excited to try this place! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Service was…read moreexceptional with great recommendations. We sat outside because the inside seemed busy and a little noisy. The downside to this restaurant is the VERY high price of everything, so it would definitely have to be a special occasion type of place. We ordered a lot of things so I'm going to rank them in how much I liked them! I didn't take any photos except the dessert which was served on a platter because we got so much lol We ordered a lot of cocktails as well which were all very good. My favorite cocktail was the lychee one! 1) LONGEVITY CRAB NOODLES ($32): lump crab, garlic butter, toasted garlic, scallions - OUTSTANDING. We ordered two of them and even added shrimp. Buttery and delicious. You can't go wrong 2) CRAZY RICE ($29): shrimp, chicken, spicy ghost pepper sambal, cucumber, shallot crisps, crispy egg - Some of the best fried rice. I LOVED the heat kick it had to it, I think it really made the dish. 3) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - WAGYU ($26): sambal, chives, red chili, asian pesto - I thought I would like the spicy tuna one more but the meat was high quality and melty 4) PORK BELLY SINIGANG ($36): crispy pork belly, sinigang braised radish, sauteed spinach, seared tomatoes, tamarind broth, micro cilantro - You cant go wrong with pork belly! I don't like radish so I couldn't experience the full flavor, but I loved the meat 5) SPICY "TAIL OF TWO TUNAS" ($25): spicy tuna, escolar, shallot crisps - You can't go wrong with spicy tuna rolls and shallots. Great quality and loved the crunch. Simple but delicious - we ordered two. 6) TOM YUM SEA BASS ($58): chilean sea bass, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, baby bok choy, tom yum sauce, kaffir lime oil - I typically don't like sea bass but this was cooked perfectly and the fish was SO BUTTERY. No fishy taste at all 7) CHICKEN INASAL ($36): lemongrass, tomatoes, red onion, watercress, achiote glaze, chili lime vinaigrette, grilled lemon - This chicken has great flavor and was very juicy. I really enjoyed the watercress as well. Hit all the notes of savory and umami 8) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - SPICY TUNA ($26): masago, chives, sriracha, chili oil, serrano - Delicious but the wagyu one was better in comparison 9) OXTAIL POT STICKERS ($23) braised oxtail, caramelized onion jus, white wasabi cream - Really great flavor but wish it were a bit crispier. It all seemed very soft in texture 10) SPICY EDAMAME ($11): garlic butter, chili salt - very good but everything else was better and it's hard to compare 11) "RIDICULOUS" ($21) vanilla ice cream, ginger carrot cake, glazed walnuts, caramel - Tempura fried ice cream?!? Sign me up! Delicious 12) COCONUT CHEESECAKE ($19) coconut mousse, graham cracker crust, coconut caramel, berries - The texture was unlike anything I've had before. It was so creamy and melty. Delicious! 13) MOCHI ICE CREAM ($19) assorted seasonal flavors of ice cream, wrapped in rice dough - Chewy and yummy!

First off, the miso soup actually had great depth of flavor instead of just tasting like overly salted hot water. The krab salad was hands-down the best I've had, it doesn't have that fake taste at all. The lunch bento also comes with 6 pieces of sashimi with really good portions, and even the basic salmon roll packed a punch of flavor. You can tell the rice is well-prepared because it really makes the roll. Service was exceptionally attentive. I actually stopped by the restroom before sitting down alone at the bar, and by the time I walked over, ice water with lemon and menus were already waiting for me at my seat. The chefs had the food out super fast since I caught the start of the lunch rush, but even during past dinner visits, the wait times have always been short. As a solo diner who likes to take their time eating, the server was attentive without ever making me feel rushed out. The interior has a clean, loungey, authentic feel to it. I will definitely be back!

It has enough options I think everyone could find sushi they'd like. I really liked how they had a more extensive menu of foods. Not just hibachi style but dishes such as the gyudon which was great! The beef was slightly more fatty than I'd like but I would get that everytime I go. I highly recommend trying this place out. I plan to return to try more things.

The decor always sets the mood and the bartenders are so fun! They are funny and polite. One thing I will say, they forgot a hand roll I ordered or maybe it didn't register in the system. The last few items I ordered were To-Go and they brought every dish on a plate. I reminded them it was to-go and they brought me little containers for the food, 3 times.

But we were able to get sat for a party of 2 in about 50 minutes, I believe the bar is first come first served so I'd recommend scouting out bar availability if you're quoted with a longer time than you'd prefer to wait. Ambiance is great, decor is on theme, and the music was solid, not overpowering and it didn't feel like conversations were competing with the music. We were able to hold conversation amongst ourselves and our waitress at normal volumes. Service was solid, food came fairly quickly for the most part, and there were only a couple of times where we needed to look for our server to get some additional request in. Food was amazing, I loved both the chicken and duck skewers. The edamame was okay, could have used a little more seasoning for me personally. The wagyu fried rice was nothing less than delicious. The yellow tail and jalapeño hand roll was good, but more of a taco since it wasn't rolled at all, the ingredients were more so just placed inside the sea weed. The Batanga Highball was probably the most refreshing cocktail I've had this year. Incredible experience over all, I will definitely be back, the next time I'm in town.

Had a fabulous dinner at Ro while visiting Tampa last month with my sister! We were both craving…read moresushi and this was the perfect spot for a girls night out. We also love Hyde Park and it's just so nice to walk around that area before or after your meal. We started off with cocktails -- I went with the pomelo (nikka coffey gin, aperol, grapefruit, szechuan peppercorn) and she got the shinshun (sparkling sake, yuzu extract, & honey). We both really enjoyed our drinks. For appetizers, we shared the wagyu gyoza and I also got a couple pieces of nigiri -- Hokkaido Hotate (scallop) and the otoro (fatty tuna belly). Yum! We both ordered sushi rolls (maki) for our mains. I got the Ro signature roll which has spicy tuna, avocado, and hamachi. My sis got the classic tempura shrimp roll topped with crispy potato chips which was a nice twist. We definitely got our sushi fix! The end of every meal comes with a complimentary sweet surprise and I'm so glad we saved just enough room for dessert. They make their own ice cream in-house and have fun rotating flavor combinations. I can't remember the exact flavor we had, but it had a passion fruit ganache on top with some crumble topping and it was phenomenal! Some of the best ice cream I've ever had. That alone is worth going back for.

It was my first visit, and they definitely made a great first impression. The menu: Foie Gras & Yuzu Dumplings with silky foie gras, beef, yuzu, and a Hong Kong-style consommé Chinese Five-Spice Duck Confit Raviolo with parmesan foam, Thai basil, and brown butter jus Roasted Duck Breast with duck fat potato pavé, seasonal vegetables, and a duck hoisin glaze Duck Fat Ice Cream with sesame crumble and citrus caramel The foie gras dumplings and duck confit raviolo were outstanding bites. Both were packed with flavor and easily my favorite courses. The duck fat ice cream was an amazing way to finish off a great meal. The service was excellent and the modern, upscale atmosphere made for a great dining experience. Their sushi menu also looked incredible, so I'll definitely be back to check that out. If you're in the Tampa area, ro Hyde Park is worth adding to your list.
