I always sit at the bar for faster service and the regular bartender, Tiffany, is awesome. Funny, friendly, and always quick with whatever you need, even if you tell her "No rush..." My favorites when I go include the For Chen Roll, Atlantic Roll, Perpetual Love Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll, and the Alaska Roll. For sashimi: Tilapia, Escola, Smoked Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Maduro, and Sake. And since it's AYCE, you'll never leave hungry!

It was very good, but I really can't justify getting it again for the price. The base price of $14 for the spicy tuna bowl (or any other bowl) gets you a bowl of rice and one small scoop of spicy tuna and your choice of some free veggie toppings. To add on another scoop to get to a regular amount of protein is $3.39, which gets you to $17.39. To add on crispy onion (along with several other toppings) was another $1, so now $18.39. I skipped adding crunch for another $1 because I just couldn't keep adding on. 1 spicy mayo was free, but to add a second one was .50 so we're at $18.89. And it was TINY. Like an appetizer size. It was very good but the pricing is unfortunately not such that I can buy this on a regular basis.

The ceviche was phenomenal and had great presentation; we also opted for the hamachi carpaccio both toasted and raw. The toasted was a bit under flavored and felt like it was missing something (not their fault we asked for it toasted). We also had the carnitas bao buns which were a delightful treat. The salmon lover roll was absolutely delicious as well had a nice fruity flavor along with it. And lastly, we originally came for the hand rolls (which are no longer on the menu) but they made an exception for us and they were phenomenal. Overall, would come back only 4 stars because everything began coming out at the same time and didn't have a pace to it.. cozy fun vibe! PS.. Our waiter Gabriel was only his second day and he was absolutely amazing and knowledgeable!

Chef Daniel clearly takes a lot of pride in his craft, sourcing fresh fish multiple times throughout the week and putting real thought into every dish. What really stands out is the attention to detail. The rice is perfectly prepared, with each grain having the right texture and balance, which is something a lot of sushi spots overlook. It makes a huge difference. A quick heads up though, this level of quality takes time. If you are in a rush, this might not be your spot. Chef Daniel is focused on doing things right rather than fast, and while he could scale up and bring in more chefs, that is not the experience he is going for. Expect a wait, especially during peak dinner hours. The ambiance is pretty simple and no frills, but that is not why you come here. This place is all about the food, and it absolutely delivers.

Nickel City Sushi & Sports Bar is a solid late-night pick for anyone in Pinellas craving Asian…read morecomfort food. The sushi side stays open until 10, which is a real advantage when so many pho and Asian spots shut down at 9 or 9:30. The location right off Park Boulevard makes it an easy stop, too. **Sushi:** The fish tastes fresh. They put their own spin on a lot of the classic rolls, and it works. There's a good variety to choose from, and the prices are reasonable, so it's easy to try a few without breaking the bank. **Pho:** They don't hold back on the protein. The bowls come loaded. The broth is just okay, but the generous portions of meat make up for a lot. **Wonton noodle soup:** This one was different from what I'm used to, in a good way. I'm not sure the noodle was egg noodle, since it was a little pale for that. Between the wontons, the sliced meatball, and the quail eggs, the bowl was hearty and delicious. Honestly, soup night here is going to be a tough call, because both the pho and the wonton noodle are good. **Banh mi:** You can't go wrong with the grilled pork banh mi. It's a safe, satisfying order. **Wings:** These were the star of the meal. I thought the price was a little high for 10 wings, but the TNT sauce is awesome. It's an Asian-style sweetness blended with buffalo heat, and it's so good. There's no breading, just crispy wings coated in that sauce. It's probably my favorite thing on the menu. It's a must-try. **Bottom line:** Come for the fresh sushi, late hours, and generous soups, and don't leave without ordering the TNT wings.

Mi Hoanh Thanh was slightly bland, but love the pork rinds in there. Meat was dry. It almost seemed like it was thawed from frozen (not saying it's not made in house, but maybe not as fresh this Monday I went). Pho dac biet was good and plenty of meat. Not too sweet or salty. My mom said it tasted less rich - possibly due to lack of bones when cooking the broth. We got goi cuon and the pork in the roll was also dry. It seemed like they didn't use the pork belly cut so that may be why as well. Server, Tai, was great. We appreciated that he spoke Vietnamese (helpful for older gen patrons) and he was very attentive and kind.

They didn't ask my spice preference, which is usually no problem at most restaurants, but they always seem to lean into the spice too much here.

I wish they would ask instead of just making everything kinda spicy. Next time I will also ask for no sliced bamboo shoots.
