Ken Sushi & Asian Bistro

★★★★★ 4.5 (544) • $$

"Absolutely phenomenal sushi! The best in Tampa Bay (and I've tried several!). The options are terrific and the waitstaff is always friendly and accommodating, even if the space is small. Do yourself a favor and try Ken's. You will not be disappointed."

Umami Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (485) • $$

"Searching for some sushi, while I was in Tampa for work. Reviews for Usami sushi were really strong so I thought we would give it a whirl .I'm really glad I did. Service was fabulous, in the menus had some really interesting items on it..But would you really want to know about the food:Crab Rangoon - excellent appetizer Volcano - not sure why it is called volcano, but it came with spicy tuna and avocado.Coconut Shrimp - wow, amazing.Rock n Roll - favorite of the table, shrimp tempura, cream cheese, crab and topped with eel sauce.Dale Mayberry Roll - same as Rock n Roll but with smoked salmon. Really a delightful place to eat."

Green Mint Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (448) • $$

"I have waited to write this review for a while because we just did not have a good experience here which goes against most reviews and I was trying to figure out how to word things as nicely as I could. Honestly, I don't get it. The spring roll was okay but honestly the best part of our entire meal was the Oreo Boba Tea (the reason for the 2nd star). My grilled chicken was dry and the entire dish lacked any real flavor. I even added stuff to try to help. Ben's Pho broth was really lacking flavor as well. He had to put in so much extra stuff in it to try to help it really wasn't funny. He eats Pho often. Also, the wrong noodles were used in the Pho which does change how the dish tastes as well as textures. Ben left his Pho there but I did take mine in hopes to be able to doctor it up but it just wasn't possible. There were just too many things off on both our meals."

Sushi Alive Asian Bistro & Raw

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (433) • $$

"I have been coming here for the past 7 years - ever since it opened. It is such an amazing spot and a lot of locals come here for happy hour. That is the absolute best time to go. You can't beat the prices. The sushi is always amazing and fresh. The service is always quick and the staff there is great. It's a chill, laid back spot and a great place for a date night."

Saki Endless Sushi and Hibachi Eatery

★★★☆☆ 3 (492) • $$

"Love, love, LOVE the food. My favorite appetizers are the crab Rangoon, Edamame, and Shrimp Shumai. My Fiancée orders an assortment of sushi rolls and I usually order the salmon Teryaki. The people are very nice and there's a nice vibe to the place."

Token Ramen & Kung Fu Tea

★★★★☆ 4 (263) • $$

"I can't tell you how many years I drove past this restaurant never trying it but always wondering what it was like. I had a rough day and my ten year old suggested we eat here. It wasn't busy on a Tuesday night so we were immediately seated. We indulged in Strip Steak Skewers, Fried Shrimp, Shrimp Ramen, Pork Ramen... the mango, strawberry and vanilla mochi was amazing. The kiwi punch was tasty too. Our total came to just under $67. The staff here are pleasant and readily available. It's no secret that we will be back sooner than later."

PIN Wok&Bowl

★★★★☆ 4.4 (214) • $$

"**** 153 ****Stopped in for lunch. The place is big and has a nice sushi prep area. Service was good, and staff really friendly. The menu is extensive, and everything looked good. Ordered the Summer Spring Rolls with shrimp, it came with some delicious peanut and sweet chili sauces. The rolls were mostly lettuce, and the shrimp was really thickly sliced, could barely taste it. Also had the Best Friends Sushi Burrito, it was delicious. Everything tasted very fresh and really well made. I'll definitely be back to try their fried rice."

BeiJing House - Fletcher

★★★★☆ 4.4 (205) • $$

"Great lunch special! 1 Entree (12 options), 1 side (white rice, fried rice or lo mein noodles) and a drink for only $8.95.We went today and had a great tasting lunch. I initially chose the Pepper Steak because it didn't have the spicy sign next to it but the waitress recoommended the Mongolian beef instead for me and whoa she was right! I got it with lo mein noodles and tasted great. I request mild spiciness and it was perfect. The ice teas are delicious! my favorite is the Peach Tea (very sweet), 2nd place Mango, third is Lychee. Great food, great price, great service = 5 stars"

Lin’s Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (211)

"Excellent Asian cuisine their vegetables lomein noodles and house fried rice is amazing."

Nitallys ThaiMex

★★★★☆ 4 (218) • $$

"Nitally's is my favorite place to go for comfort food. The staff is always friendly and there is cute decor in the entire restaurant. It takes a while to get your food because it's made fresh to order but I love that because it's so delicious and fresh every time. My favorite dish is the chorizo pad Thai with shrimp. They also have good cocktails."

Bangkok Fusion Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (186) • $$

"While in St. Petersburg for training, I stayed nearby and had no desire to drive around, attempting to find food to eat for dinner after sitting in a classroom for 9 hours. I utilized many delivery services for my dining needs. I found Bangkok on one of those sites. I will say I enjoyed their food so much, I ordered from them twice. The food was made perfectly. The delivery issues I experienced had nothing to do with the restaurant themselves, but the service picking the food up for me. I highly recommend this place and would definitely eat here again if ever in the St Pete area again. I'd pick it up myself though. Save the fees and middle man, and tip the restaurant well."

Osaka Sushi & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (177) • $$

"We have the sushi/ sashimi combo for two. GREAT food and EXCELLENT service !!!The combo was served on a boat which must've been 18"-24" long - very generous portions of fresh fish and huge spider roll (we upgraded the green dragon roll with the spider roll). DEFINITELY recommended !!!"

Ro Hyde Park

★★★★☆ 4 (185)

"Incredible. Just incredible! Daughter and I were shopping around Hyde park and wanted something to eat. We walked down the street and discovered Ro. And "oh ro" glad we did :) We walked in and were able to be seated immediately without a reservation. Very classy inside. Seating is comfortable and the layout of this place is pleasing to the eye. They have table seating, bar seating and sushi bar seating. Upon sitting, we were greeted by our server, Kyle. Kyle was AMAZING! Very attentive and cordial. Made conversation with us and made us feel welcome and valued as a customer. We ordered edamame as our appetizer. These were very tasty. They did have some spicy stuff on them but not on all of them. I actually didn't know until I happened to take one that had a small brown looking spice on it. For our food, we ordered the Ro and Dragon rolls to share. I've never had sushi with the raw fish. I typically only get it if it's fully cooked and deep fried. So me ordering thinking this was going to be deep fried and / or fully cooked. So when these rolls arrived at the table I was thinking I wasn't going to eat. Then I sucked it up and went for it. These were absolutely delicious. I do have to say that this was the best sushi I've had. I experienced something new and fell in love. We did like the Dragon roll the best. But we both agreed that we'd definitely be back here!! Also when done eating Kyle surprised us with matcha soft serve which was amazing!! Definitely try this place because you won't be disappointed!!"

Blue Sake

★★★★☆ 3.7 (197) • $$

"Visited this restaurant with a friend yesterday and while the food was pretty good, the service was awful. We were seated and left alone for 45 minutes before anyone came over. When the server came to the table, he asked if we had already put in a drink order. I wanted to say "How Sway?" but I figured he wouldn't get the reference and let it go. We place our order, some food comes relatively quickly. The hot sake was good and hot, the appetizers (fried gyoza,salad and miso soup) were good. My only complaints about the food are the rolls with the cream cheese had the thickest cream cheese I've ever tasted. Good, thicker than a snickers bar cream cheese in a roll is NOT cool! Also, the fried cheesecake didn't taste like cheesecake. It tasted like sweetened creamed cheese put in tempura and deep fried, then covered in chocolate sauce and whipped cream."

ZEN Noodle Bar

★★★★★ 4.6 (126) • $$

"Whether it's a big bowl of hot pho, a hefty serving of stir fry noodles, or a quick bite of soft, steamy bao buns; ZEN Noodles Company is the spot for you! Each dish is crafted with quality ingredients and flavors inspired by our heritage as Asian-Americans. We curate our menu to bring comfort like a fresh home-cooked meal and also include options for everyone to try.Had the pleasure of visiting this place in Tampa. I found that it has a very relaxing atmosphere. I got try a few of their food items.1) Filipino Pork Ribs Adobo2) Beef Rib Pho3) Taro Milk l Tea"

Benjarong Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (144) • $$

"We did carry out for this place so not sure about service and ambience but the food was great! My favorite for the tofu drunken noodles. I would definitely go back to eat here in person. Usually if the take out is good the in person dining experience is usually better."

Ocean Blue Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (135) • $$

"This Sushi place was unusual for us. We ordered the chicken satay to start with, and I would never order that it again. The chicken was so overcooked and dry, it was almost inedible. It looked good though. Then when looking at the menu, I honestly couldn't find a Sushi roll and neither could Ben that we wanted so we both went with getting a make your own Sushi Burrito. Normally finding a roll is not an issue, especially for Ben. I did like the different options that you can pick and choose from when creating your own roll from sauces, veggies, proteins, wrap type, etc and we both order completely different types. I was very pleased with mine and since it is a burrito, it was too big for me to finish and I was going to take the rest home. BUT, still getting use to having to ensure your mask is on prior to getting up from your seat, I got distracted and left it on the table. :( So, we may not be back for traditional Sushi, but I am pretty sure we will be back for a Sushi Burrito."

Shiso Crispy

★★★★☆ 4.4 (100) • $$

"We were downtown for a show at the Straz on a weekday. We didn't have time to eat before the show and Shiso Crispy was open and not a long walk at all. First, I was surprised (not disappointed!) that this was a food truck. No worries at all. There are some cute little covered tables and bar height chairs to enjoy your food and it was a gorgeous night. We ordered Bang Bang Chicken Bowl and two orders of Bao Buns to share, the tuna and the short rib. This was a one man operation with a lot of customers to feed so it took a bit for the food to be ready. No problem at all. When it did come, one of our orders of Bao buns was missing. Easily remedied. The Bang Bang Chicken was very good, but not a whisper of heat in the vicinity. Like it was temperature hot, but where was the Bang? Mush less the Bang Bang? The rice was terrific. But dang I wanted some kind of heat from the chicken.I opened up the Bao buns and my heart sank. They were COVERED in a dark vegetal substance. I hoped it was seaweed but in my heart, I knew. I have a pesky and ongoing allergy to cabbage and these days, restaurants are straight up leaving it off of descriptions and surprising me with it. I get that menu boards have limited space, but when the dish has three components- bun, meat and slaw (and loads and loads of slaw), it's worth mentioning. Especially since the word slaw only has four teensy letters. My friend did a taste test and yep- purple cabbage. For Pete's sake.I spent a considerable amount of time removing every speck and sliver of cabbage and trying the tuna bun. It was fine. I know why it had a slaw, and am sure I'd have liked it much better had I been able to eat it as intended. But had I known the slaw was a component I wouldn't have ordered it at all. If I'm in the area and need sustenance, I would definitely get a bowl with that delicious rice. But sadly, I'm not rushing back."

Paul's Fusion Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (83)

"This is what I love about Yelp! Need a good place to eat quick and impromptu to reward ourselves with after running around all day. Where is someplace new to me with great food , great atmosphere , unique menu ... patron photos that look yum. I can always find a great new place with Yelp. This place was very small but very good vibe and atmosphere , the shopping center it's in is not impressive and you'll be surprised when you drive up ... but once inside you'll realize. Service was great ... prices good in my opinion for these dishes Most of the tables are 2 seaters ( 2 people sitting across from each other at a very small table ) ... although they had a few bigger tables for larger parties , they prob wouldn't be sitting only 2 at those. They also take reservations on Open Table which is nice. I would def recommend this place"

Rice N Roll

★★★★☆ 3.5 (120) • $$

"Great hidden gem. Tried this place after seeing it and totally glad I did. The food was great and the service was too. Prices are decent and they have a good variety as well It's my new spot from now on!"

Moca Asian cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.1 (86)

"This amazing little place is hidden in a strip mall off of Boyette Rd in Riverview. I love Asian food and this location did not disappoint me. I have been here 3 times now to eat in our take out and everything has tasted great. I ordered the Mongolian Beef, Seasame Chicken and Orange Chicken all a little extra spicy, the normal heat is pretty mild. I can say the Orange Chicken is made with real orange and zest not flavoring and spicy is my new favorite dish. Everything from their salad with ginger dressing to their perfectly cooked somewhat sticky rice has been spot on. Stop by, they are closed Mondays, and enjoy."

"We stopped here on a rainy day because my lady was craving boba tea. She ended up going with the pistachio one and LOVED it. Staff was very friendly. Service was quick and thoughtful. Love the way they seal the drink.The place itself was beautiful. Very cool decor. Nice branding. Dimly-lit vibe. Just a cool spot overall."

Ling Express

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (67) • $

"Just wanted to do a quick updates as we have had delivery from Ling Express MANY times since my initial review in July 2016, delivery is always SUPER fast. The Mongolian Beef, LoMein, Pork Fried Rice, Fried Won Tons and Crab Rangoon are just a few of my faves. My favorite Chinese delivery ever, so glad we found this place!"

Asian Fusion Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (116) • $$

"After reading several negative reviews, and only living a few miles south, I decided to give this place a try, and I'm glad I did. To start off, the restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and the buffet was fully stocked with fresh food. Hands down one of the best Asian Buffers we've been to in Central Florida. It was a little pricey, but walked away knowing I would return!"

"came here 6 o'clock on a Sunday. There was nobody in the restaurant.They greeted us with some wonton crackers and duck sauce. We ordered a pot of hot green tea.

Shiso Crispy

★★★★☆ 3.9 (38)

"Stumbled across this cute little place while searching for a late night bite! The backyard area where the food truck is such a cute vibe with lots of seating. I decided to sit inside thought because I was getting bit up by mosquitos. Their portion sizes are HUGE. I was able to take leftovers for the lunch the next day. I had the bang bang chicken but definitely interested in trying the ahi sushi."

"Joy, my server, was a joy. Very personable and a lovely girl. I'll try the lo mein next time or, perhaps, the chicken teriyaki.Sashimi was delish."

Bamboozle Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.8 (20)

"Bamboozle has two locations. One in the Heights section of town and this one in Channelside. They have been servicing Tampa for many years and have a huge following.I am a huge fan of the fresh rolls. They have so many to choose from. They are filled with fresh veggies, herbs and protein and served with wonderful sauces. They are single rolls. Two rolls is more than enough for me however , if you are hungry you may want to add a soup or get another roll.They are so very healthy. My favorites are the avocado roll, kickin chicken, tuna and the barbeque pork. I also enjoy their pho , banh mi and their rice dishes. All are packed with flavor You place your order at the counter then sit. Someone will bring your order to you. If they are busy service can be slow."

Northside Asian Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (29) • $$

"This is, hands down, the best Chinese food in north Lakeland. I get the same thing every time I go, because it is delicious! Egg rolls are always crispy and hot! Their lo mein isn't the dry crunchy style noodles, it is soft and SO flavorful. And their orange chicken had just the right amount of spice/flavor. I've tried their crab rangoons, which are also amazing. My fiancé and I split a combo and still typically have leftovers for the next day!"

JK Bites

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (4)

"When it says "burger," one can assume a blend of protein, like a crab cake patty or a garden bean burger. Not a legs sandwich. A bean burger isn't just loose beans on a bun. Anyway, I learned this is a method of eating crab that I'm not familiar with. Apparently they are usually called "soft shell crab sandwiches," not burgers. Honestly, I would have tucked my tail between my legs in shameful ignorance if the attitude of the person I called wasn't so RUDE.Instead of explaining or being understanding, they told me it was my fault and that I was stuck without lunch or my money. Okay! Good to know! Now I won't be back AND I'll be telling people about my experience.This all could have been fixed with a BASIC, BARE MINIMUM description or picture on YOUR OWN website and a refund or something. I would have absolutely been thrilled to give another shot because of the menu, but now I have 0 inclination to go back. The interior is bright and welcoming, if not a little dirty, but doesn't make up for the attitude and legs sandwich.They earned 2 stars from how good the fries were."

Mostafa Halal Grill And Gravy

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I admit, I know very little about Bangladesh or it's food, but I know what I like. This, I like alot.Out and about I was in an area of Tampa that had the word halal in many places. Halal means food that can be consumed by Muslims due to its method of preperation. Kinda like kosher for Jews.As I was visiting next door my curiosity drew me to this place. I had no intention of buying anything but the most effusive greetings one could expect met me at the door. I felt compelled to buy something and my gut agreed.I took it for Indian food and much of it is I suspect since Bangladesh borders India on the Bay of Bengal. The menu wss extensive so I jumped at the suggestion of lamb shank and took a to go box home with me. Later I tried it and wow, I loved it. Surprised me.I know very little about this type of food, just the more basic dishes one encounters. However, when I looked into the place, Mostafa's Halal had a solid 5 star rating from EVERYONE, and now me. I do know I will be back to try a few more dishes, you should come get ya some. Hidden gem."
