“After another favorite spot closed, I tried to find another that had just as good food. This is it. The owners are absolutely awesome and make great food with good portions. Definitely less expensive than other places, especially paying for a show, but I highly recommend trying their food!“
“The service here was amazing. One of the best sushi places in the St Pete/Tampa area. The taste of the maki rolls here are delicious. I have been looking for a sushi place to go to and I have now found my new favorite place to get my sushi fix from now on! I highly recommend everyone to try this place!“
“Food was very good, but what set the experience apart from your typical fast service dining experience was the great service, especially from the manager Shaq. He made sure to introduce himself to us and told us about the store and went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our experience. We will return here because of Shaq.“
“I was saying this a couple of times in Tampa Bay Area restaurants, but now I mean it. This is the best sushi I’ve ever tried in my life! We tasted a lot, but sashimi set and "Godzilla" sushi were just perfect. Very nice service and atmosphere. Thanks a lot!“
“AMAZING food! This place was right by our Air BNB and I’m surprised it wasn’t on their recommendations list (I’ll be sure to encourage them to update that!)Great chicken fried rice, and we had like 3 different rolls all of which were exception! Can never go wrong with crab ragoons and theirs were awesome! Thanks Jimmy, def coming back when I’m in the area again!“
“My husband and I have been looking for a new sushi spot for the last year. We finally found a new candidate, The Sushi Spot/Hibachi. I had the Dynamite roll which lived up to its name. My husband enjoyed the Vicki roll and the Sexy Man roll. What a contender.“

“Overall the best place for all you can eat lunch special for$22 per person, which includes excellent ice cream for dessert!Food is goodService is fast and friendlyClean placeI highly recommend this location, especially if you love sushi ...“
“Just had brunch and it was amazing! Our group got a few things and shared and we loved it all. Crab omelette, stuffed French toast, the bowl and last but not least the breakfast sandwich. The food was a 10/10 but the service I can’t even rate. Joey might have been the best server I have ever had, anywhere. Kind, friendly and attentive! Can’t go wrong eating here any time of the day. For the cherry on top, ask for Joey!“
“Pete's is our favorite restaurant in Mad Beach! The sushi and poke bowls are fresh and high quality. The staff work hard and are very kind. They opened a second location next to the Sweet Brewnette. I highly suggest trying them the next time you are in the mood for sushi!“
“This place was amazing! The staff was clean, fast and friendly. Jordan was a great host very accommodating. This is my first time within the building. Answered all my questions before I began ordering. definitely coming back! highly recommend!“
“I've been trying just about every sushi place that I encounter. I have yet to eat at one that I found was disgusting or even below average. Charlie's sushi was delicious and I'm looking forward to going back and ordering a variety so that I can leave more of a detailed review. If you are considering sushi at Charlie's then I highly recommend adding Charlie's to the list of must try. You won't be disappointed.“
“Yaki-mono is a must for delicious food, awesome service & great atmosphere.Top spot. We will absolutely come back EVERYTIME.Dietary restrictions: I am glucose intolerant and was able to substitute rice noodles. The food is outstanding. Filling and delicious.Parking: Parking here was no problem. Visible signs warn people about towing. As long as you can read, you're safe.“
“I’ve been enjoying Sushi Rock Grill for a very long time. Anytime I’m in the area I always make sure to stop by and enjoy their creations.I had the Sushi Nachos and the Volcano Lobster. I also enjoy The Pear chilled sake.Wonderful meal as always.“
“Casual setting spot next to Williams Park. Seating was on the smaller side so I wouldn’t bring a huge party here. Miso soup was spot on. Fish was FRESH. The kani roll was yummy and topped with a lot of crab. Service was also great! Will be back for sure.“
“Sake selection is was excellent and unusual. The fish was fresh, rolls a decent size, decent price, and the staff were kind and attentive.Look past the fact that it’s in a strip mall, because this place can compete with any sushi place around.“
“The food was excellent, we had the sirloin and the chicken, sooo good. Service was good, we had a young man serving that did a great job. Very personable. Really the only down side was the cold wind coming through the windows, this restaurant is roof top and open air. I'm sure on warmer days it is amazing. Beautiful views of the bay.“
“This little gem was a massive surprise. I just happened to Google sushi restaurants nearby as I was trying to find a place to grab a bite to eat while rush hour traffic died down. So glad Google led me here! The sushi is fresh and delicious! Beautiful presentation and top-notch service. I would recommend this place to anyone. I just wish I lived close enough to come over and over and over again.“
“Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere! The rolls were fresh and beautiful and I recommend the wagyu appetizer as well. Absolutely coming back!Wheelchair accessibility: Small step outside to get in. Don't doors open on both sides and lower tables with individual chairs“
“This is my favourite sushi place. I eat here all the time because I love sushi but I do not like the raw fish. They have a lot of fish-less options and meatless options. This is weird but I am also obsessed with their house salad dressing… it’s addictive. If I want to eat sushi this is the only place I go to.Vegetarian options: Sweet potato roll (cream cheese)Avocado roll (cream cheese)banana roll (cream cheese)veggie roll“
“Sushi was solid. The yellowtail jalapeño appetizer in particular was great. Edamame was evenly seasoned, which is nice to avoid competition for the salt-bombs.Fried rice felt a bit haphazard: too busy with mixed vegetable ingredients, could use more egg. Teriyaki chicken cubes thrown on top didn't really meld with the rest of it.Ramen looked questionable.Stick to their obvious strengths/namesake and pretend the other stuff isn't on the menu.Staff was a bit busy but helpful and courteous.“

“We were there Saturday night and of course we requested Chuck, even though there was a little wait, Chuck did not disappoint! Our food was delicious, jokes were amazing, and everything he does is just great. Looking forward to coming in again real soon. The service was great as well, our server was very attentive and met all of our needs! This visit was one of our best! Can't wait to dig in to my leftovers today!“
“Always wanted to come here and it looked closed but because they're construction next door.It's so quiet inside and they give you a spring roll and soup as per lunch complementary ?I had the yellow curry and it was delicious(slightly salty for me). I wish the stock itself was a bit thicker so I could taste more of it while eating, as well they just put chunks of potato in the curry? Should cut them down because they were still raw.My boyfriend had a chef special and really liked it, was fascinating to see actually pieces of cashews as well!We also tried their sushi out and it was delicious we had no complaints ?Had to try their version of Thai tea as well and it was tasty. A bit too sweet for me personally.Need to try some other dishes.“
“Don’t let the run down strip mall scare you…. I can only tell ya about Hibachi and I’d tell ya to not hesitate! They got that down, chefs are very personable, quality of food was good, salads were better than portions are ridiculously big! Now from someone that’s been to hibachis everywhere across the USA I’m gonna give ya a few pointers that you can implement moving forward. 1. When the entire table requests no onions that mean no onions PERIOD. That doesn’t mean no onions in food but it’s ok to bring out the onion choo choo train (putting onion juice on the grill before you cook the meat). 2. Never just hand the guests to go boxes and a bag and expect them to pack up their own take homes. They are paying for the experience of eating out so don’t be lazy and box up your guests leftovers especially since it’s the last impression you leave the guest with. You can do everything right and then botch the ending and that one thing is all they remember. 3. I think I would train the chefs to ask a head a time how the table wants their meal seasoned not everyone will be keen on heavy garlic or butter and it could very well ruin someone meal. 4. Now this one happen to me and personally I don’t care but for future guest I would handle your birthday policy a hell of a lot different ESPECIALLY since your a Habachi place (lots of birthdays) If someone comes in with a birthday simply handle the rules up front! Say “Great, as long as today is your birthday it’s on us or we take 20 bucks off”. No need to try and be sneaky and interrogate during the meal it’s not cool to do. It is perfectly fine if your rules say only on the actual birth date. Now here’s a golden goose tip for you to get more reviews (yes, you need more reviews) and implement this starting TOMORROW! Hibachi diners only: Give a $20 dollar credit off entire bill on next visit (add in rules) - Minimum Order Value - Must show Google Review from first visit. Now you get a repeat customer and a much needed review. Also run a local Facebook no need to let Kobe take all the customers because honestly your food was better and f*ck over price chains!“
“I used to come to this sushi restaurant often many years ago, but I'm sad to say I haven't been here in a hot minute with all the new sushi places opening :(. Thankfully, my niece was craving sushi and picked Ichiban so I was excited to try them out after all these years. They are currently only open for take out. We placed our order in by phone and picked up shortly after. Updated menu is online. We ordered the SHRIMP VOLCANO, GATOR ROLL, and TUNA TORNADO. My niece is normally a volcano lover, but this time she fell in love with the GATOR ROLL. It was saucy and generously covered with krab sticks. We will definitely be ordering that roll again. The other rolls were also good -- rolled tightly and just the right amount of rice. I also ordered tuna nigiri and was happy that it was good quality and fresh tasting. Will have to order again to try out some of their newer rolls. Definitely recommend trying them out.“
“I've been here a few times now an every time I come here their sushi is awesome! Waitress I had today was great. The place wasn't noisy at all. Great place for Sushi. I've had some sushi that us just so so an that's not the case here! Enjoy because I do!“
“Great variety and selection as well as very reasonable prices. The portions are extremely generous and we usually have left overs!Parking: The parking is very accessible and I have found a spot every time I have been here.Kid-friendliness: This restaurant is very kid friendly. It is a calm vibe and is great for all ages.“
“Everything about this place was amazing. Very personal and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The freshness of the fish was top notch. Worth every penny! I wish I lived near by so I could enjoy this delicacy all the time. Definitely a top highlight of my visit to Florida!“

“This was a delight. The menu contained more options than usual for an all-you-can-eat spot, which we enjoyed. The coconut shrimp were deliscious. If you are expecting coconut shreds, be forewarned.... These are not that. However, the light coconut sauce drizzled on top adds to the flavor. The rolls were fresh, and the rice was very flavorful. The only complaint I had was for the crab rangoon. The wonton wrappers were fried very hard. And, the eel sauce, eh...Overall, it was a great place with many options. We will return!!!“
“OK, I’ve passed this ago. Never once have I really ever thought about stopping there. However, yesterday, I was in the mood for sushi and was looking up good reviews on DoorDash and found this place. I was surprised to look at the address photos and realize this was the same as the little tiny drive-through I’ve passed by so many times.Honestly, I was absolutely shocked. Sushi can be really hit or miss. My very favorite sushi restaurant in all of Saint Pete does not deliver - but I had a DoorDash credit I wanted to use. I have had sushi at several different places, and most times I was disappointed - either there was too much rice, or the fish didn’t taste, or feel fresh, the flavors were t there. or a variety of other reasons.However, the sushi rolls I got last night were incredible.10/10 do recommend. The flavor was amazing, it wasn’t too thick on the rice, the fish was soft but firm. And the flavor!! Every single bite that I took I couldn’t believe how good it was. While I was eating it, I went back to read reviews, and everyone else basically says the same thing: ??♀️ fresh and delicious!How have I been sleeping on this place for the last seven years?!I’m not even kidding when I say that I had it yesterday for dinner and ordered it for dinner as well. One roll I think was $15 and the Philly roll was $8 - Pretty reasonable.Vegetarian options: There were several different sushi rolls labeled vegetarian that consisted of vegetables and rice. Not sure about the rest of the menu because I didn’t look at anything else other than sushi.“
“So I order to go from them once in a whileEach time I order they call my cell from the street to co.e and take the food.... for some reason they don't come to the front door. I also noticed that each time I come outside they on the phone probably making sure nothing happens to them so they want to leave the phone on??Anyway the food is usually ok bu my last order it was a mess . The veggie lo main looked like they just throw it in the box and I ordered a large meal. Before I used to get more and split it but this time I think it was small.The sushi is ok but no matter how many different sushi you order they put them all in the same box!!!“
“My husband and I absolutely love this place. We come here regularly for their $12 dinner special. For $12 you get 3 types of rolls, a side, and miso soup. Not only is it a great deal, but their food tastes amazing. This is a small family owned business and the owners have always been friendly and attentive to us. It’s not a fancy place by any means, but that is just what I love about it and it’s cozy inside. Our favorite dinner roll is their Tampa roll - simple and delicious.“
“This is a local hole in the wall. It’s not fancy, but the food is GREAT and service is always timely and polite. The fish is fresh, soups are hot, tempura is crispy and not overly greasy. Shame on the people who complain about food being cold when they clearly ordered a take-out meal. Prices are more than fair. I hope to keep coming here year after year.“
“Visiting the area and was looking for Sushi for dinner. Found that they were close by. After I arrived I asked for suggestions for rolls with Salmon. After ordering the suggestions I got it to-go and headed back to my hotel to eat. I was VERY happy with the rolls. The Salmon was fresh and delicious. The staff was very nice.“
“We have been a fan of this food for over 2 years now, making a point to venture out to find the trucks while out around town. And were so excited to have a Tampa location. The food is amazing and there's nothing else like it. We aren't mad at the pricing because the portions are HUGE, we always get Bang Bang Chicken and something else to try so that eventually we'll taste the entire menu. Everything is always hot and fresh made to order. The only downside, is the employees unfortunately aren't always the friendliest, which sometimes puts a damper on the experience.“
