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.

Update: I honestly feel bad updating this review because I love supporting local businesses,…read moreespecially one right down the street from my home. We frequent this restaurant often, I've noticed a high turnover in servers and initially assumed the slow service was due to that. However, during a non-busy lunchtime , with only about five other tables, it took 30 minutes to receive a hibachi chicken plate and a kids' meal. My daughter was not very happy needless to say . That wait time felt excessive and made me question what's happening in the kitchen. I understand it's the holiday season and that waiting is sometimes expected, but a long delay for a 15 table restaurant is disappointing. The server mentioned that 30 minutes is normal for a hibachi chicken plate, which seems a bit long to me. I usually gravitate toward Asian restaurants because service tends to be quicker, so this experience was surprising. For now, I may stick to my usual Vietnamese and Korean go-to spots, but I truly hope this improves because I want to continue supporting this local business. Additionally, the fried banana side that comes with the kids' meal has been consistently inedible. Ten times out of ten, it's extremely greasy, more like biting into a hot grease ball than bananas. It doesn't feel very healthy or even safe for children.

Then will they be serving the pictures on the wall and on the website? Maybe invite my friend and I back for this "new menu" and I could write a hopefully updated review.

My partner and I recently went and ordered the yellow submarine, the primitive roll, the negi hama, and the spicy tuna roll for our date night out. We also ordered a pork belly skewer and a steak strip skewer as a starter - I can't say enough great things about the food. It's the subtlety of the flavors that really brings everything together - yes, the spicy is spicy but there's more nuance with the citrus undertones and the bite of the sauce. More than anything I love the ambience of the restaurant - the posters on the walls, the low lighting. It makes for a really relaxing dinner - on a Saturday night, they weren't as busy as I was expecting; or at least not as busy as the last time I was there, so we didn't have to wait very long for anything. As much as I'd like to, it's a tad too pricey for me to come every night, but I'd genuinely love to be a regular at this fantastic sushi spot in Clearwater.
