Ro Hyde Park

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!!

I have walked by Ro so many times in Hyde Park but finally made the decision to stop in for happy hour. And thank goodness I did! The restaurant interior is gorgeous. Absolutely perfect for date night. The servers are all really friendly and happy to make recommendations. I loved the happy hour menu which had a surprising number of options. We started with the wagyu gyoza and oh my goodness, such savory, beefy flavor. I loved the sauce that the gyoza came in and they were hot and crispy perfection. The popcorn shrimp were equally hot and crispy. Great shrimp flavor without being too fishy. My favorite items were the spicy tuna roll and the sesame shiitake roll. Spicy tuna is a staple anywhere, but honestly their roll was SO good. Possibly the best spicy tuna I've ever had. The sesame shiitake was such a unique roll. Beautiful truffle flavor and the dipping sauce was insanely delicious. I think it was a truffle soy--oh so good. The dragon roll was solid but nothing special. I thought the Ro roll was very similar but with some added flavor. The guava mocktail was also super refreshing with a hint of mint.I will absolutely be back at Ro and can't wait to share this spot with my Tampa pals.

what a great spot for a fancy meal with cozy ambiance! i came here to catch up with a friend and the vibes in here are immaculate. plenty of opportunities for cute photos: the walls, the lighting, the food plating, everything was super thoughtfully designed.we had the best waiter. i regret that his name is escaping me right now, but he'd been there since this place opened! he was patient, friendly, and gave great recs. based on his suggestions, we split king salmon crudo, an order of shishito peppers, the bulgogi steak, and the hyde park roll. everything was delicious--the peppers were honestly so good for no reason, i'd go back just for those, but everything was great! at the end of the meal, you also get free dessert: house vanilla ice cream with a crumbled sesame cookie on top. divine.definitely worth stopping by here for a special occasion. we'll be back!

Came here when I was in town for work ! This place came highly recommended for sushi in Tampa and it did not disappointment! Me and 2 of my coworkers did family style! I got the lychee martini which came highly recommended and it was delicious ! We split the wagyu gyoza, the tuna crispy rice, the beef fried rice, chicken katsu, and 3 sushi rolls the dragon, spicy salmon roll, and shrimp tempura! The fried rice, wagyu gyoza, and spicy salmon were definitely my favorite! The complimentary ice cream at the end was delicious surprise

I LOVE this spot! The Ro roll, waygu dumplings, popcorn shrimp, and lychee martini are all so good, but the Yakisoba noodles are a showstopper! My boyfriend got the wagyu on the hot stone and was pretty impressed with that too. The ambiance here is amazing too-- they typically have a local DJ spinning and setting the mood at dinner time. This is a sexy date night spot, with an elevated atmosphere and elevated Asian bites. Parking is easy-- valet is right out front or there's also the free Hyde Park garage on the side if you can snag a spot.My only complaints are there is no dessert menu here. They offer a complimentary scoop of ice cream but it's nothing special. I wish they had actual dessert. Also, the service has always been pretty slow when I've gone here. We have had to flag down our waiters to pay a few times. However, their menu keeps me coming back. It really is just that good! I love this as a date night; head over to speakeasy Jekyll next door for a perfect night!

good experience. Would go here for the pork fried rice, sushi rolls, and nigiri again. Service was good. Although during our visit, I could hear a server complaining about their job.. yikes. Also, I wanted my steak medium and I got bleu. So my husband asked our server if they could cook the steak a little bit longer and make it medium.. and they did. Bathroom was phenomenal, favorite part of the trip! It gave me the same vibe as this other restaurant in Miami that also served Asian cuisine (S.Sushi)Overall, this place was good. Probably go back here again for the sushi and nigiri

We initially went to see the Christmas tree in Hyde park but we were feeling hungry and as we were passing by multiple restaurants this one happened to stick out the most.The ambiance in this place is amazing! It's so soothing and satisfying just to look around. From the decoration to the architecture I really appreciated the inside of the building. Customer service was also great too. Our waiter was very helpful and she was very informative was far as the menu.Okay so let's get to the food review. The sushi and nigiri were amazing! Probably one of the best I've tried so far. The fish literally melts in your mouth. Additionally, the presentation was phenomenal which probably added more to the taste. However, I can't say the same about the ramen and the steak from the bento box. The ramen tasted like they added thickener to it and the ginger had red color dye that looked super fake. The red color dye spread all over the ramen, giving the broth a bright red color. The steak was ordered medium but came out blue rare. It appeared as if they just gave it a slight cook and markings from the outside. It wasn't even tender. On the other hand it was quite difficult to chew. Overall they have the potential to be a 5 star but that day it was a 3 star. In my opinion, I believe that you shouldn't have to take the customers food and recook it because the cook didn't prepare/cook it properly the first time. In that case, throw it away and make a new one. I don't think I would come back here.

Brunch at Ro Hyde Park was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stunning interior--artistic, beautifully designed, and undeniably luxe. The ambiance is a vibe, balancing sophistication with a welcoming atmosphere that immediately draws you in. This is a place that's perfect for a romantic date or a stylish brunch outing.The service at Ro is truly top tier. The attentive servers elevate the dining experience from the start, welcoming you with a warm cloth for your fingers--a thoughtful touch that sets the tone for the exceptional meal ahead. And just when you think it can't get better, they surprise you with a complimentary ice cream dessert at the end of your meal. It's these little details that make Ro so memorable.Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the Japanese pancakes, and they were absolute perfection--light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was indulgent yet refined, showcasing the care and skill that goes into their menu.Even the bathrooms were impeccably clean and beautifully designed, further proving the attention to detail that Ro Hyde Park delivers in every aspect.Whether you're here for a special occasion or just treating yourself to a great meal, Ro Hyde Park is a must-visit. This was easily one of the best brunch experiences I've had in Tampa!

So, everything was so delicious, I forgot to take pictures!!! Jenna was our server and was so great and friendly! We sat at a high top in the bar area with some friends and had a really delicious late lunch! It was a beautiful day, so we walked up here, got in immediately, and sat down without await. We started off ordering wagyu gyoza with a chili ponzu sauce... was so tasty we ordered another! We also had maguro tuna carpaccio with parmesan, yuzu cream, osetra caviar, truffle shoyu- wow!! Amazing! Next, we ordered a ro roll with spicy tuna, avocado, hamachi - incredible!! Lastly, we had shishito peppers: blistered peppers, sweet soy, chili threads and popcorn shrimp: crispy rock shrimp, sweet and spicy aioli, served over vegetable fried rice.... These were both very tasty as well. The popcorn shrimp was so good that we ordered another one.The guys had a few different Japanese beers. I had a few skinny margaritas, and someone else ordered Prosecco. All in all, everything was Amazing!!! Great service and food!

For being absolutely slammed on a Monday night, the food and service was spectacular. The wagyu gyoza are not to be missed and the ro maki was excellent too. The space was clean with dim lights and comfortable chairs. Our server Jovan was so nice and had lots of great menu recommendations. I also appreciated Matt the manager taking the time to stop by our table and ask how everything was even though it was a busy night. 10/10 can't wait to come back!
