I had a great first experience here! The restaurant is so cute on the inside. The server was one of the best I have ever had. She took the time to explain all of the meals I had interest in. The food was amazing. I just did sushi and Japanese tonight but I will be back to try the Thai food! Give this place a go! Excellent 👌

This place would get more stars if it would let me. It’s a small but decorated to take you to Japan. Staff is super friendly. The sushi melts in your mouth, which is how fresh sushi should be. Everything we had all the flavors on point. Nothing was over seasoned or under seasoned and fresh. This is definitely one of my favorite Japanese places in the area. “itadakimasu”!

The food tasted good but the amount you get for the $ isn't worth it.
My roate ordered shrimp and chin noodles and she go1 shrimp.
False advertising
When we asked for the owner she gave us $2 off the billing still just mad because it should have been like it was advertised.
We wont be going back

The best sushi I have ever had. This small atmospheric restaurant and incredibly friendly staff will give you such a wonderfully personal dining experience. I can easily call it my favorite restaurant and I can not recommend it enough!

I didn’t even know this place existed even though I live right down the street. I’m kicking myself for not finding Faceless Samurai earlier.

I went in for a quick lunch and was greeted by the owner Duke (not sure if that’s how you spell his name). There is nothing I appreciate more than warm hospitality and that’s exactly what I got from the second I walked in.

I ordered my favorite sushi, Salmon Skin Rolls. I can tell you that I haven’t had anything that I would even consider decent in any other sushi restaurant in the USA, including Nobu.

This was without hesitation the absolute best salmon skin roll I have had.

The spicy tuna roll I had was also delicious. This isn’t your regular sushi restaurant. It’s incredible. The prices are extremely decent and you’ll love he atmosphere. Don’t let the shopping plaza exterior deceive you. It’s beautiful inside.

I can’t wait to go back for more. That’s how you know it’s a great place, I’m already planning the next visit before I even left!

The food and the service was incredible, the sushi had a pretty presentation. I recommend to try this secret local gem restaurant. Will definitely be back.

The people seem very nice and pleasant. The place is small and homey. We liked the pork goyza and the potato curry puffs. The large pot of Thai udon soup was really good and large enough for 4 people to eat. That came also with tempura, really delicious. The sushi rolls were just average and in the dry side especially the volcano. But the worst part was that we had this large party, family of 7 right next to us. They were so loud and very inconsiderate of us sitting at the next table. I couldn’t help but overhear every single thing they shouted. I can tell you all of their lives story. Couldn’t wait to just finish our meal and leave.

Update: still THE best hole in the wall sushi joint. Actually, its the best sushi I've ever had, anywhere. The sushi quality is tops! Their cheff is a true artist. And the staff is always so accomidating and welcoming to locals! The samurai will blow your mind!

Absolute favorite sushi spot! Duke and staff are simply the best and the sushi is out of this world!

The best sushi I have ever had. This small atmospheric restaurant and incredibly friendly staff will give you such a wonderfully personal dining experience. I can easily call it my favorite restaurant and I can not recommend it enough!

This was a nice surprise. I recommend you stop in for a date night.

Quality food and fresh sushi

There is not a better sushi spot in FL. From the best miso soup on the planet, to delicious sushi, and life changing mango sticky rice. This is the sushi spot you have been looking for.

Service and shop were great! Love the interior decor. The sushi wasn’t the best though and ginger dressing for salad was like a mash, not a dressing. I love wasabi on my nigiri so I was happy to see this with the Sushi Mori. However, there was A LOT of wasabi. Almost uneatable. This is usually because of 1 of 2 things: chef messed up or masking old/bad fish. Don’t know which it was but it wasn’t great, just mediocre.

Best sushi in the area, excellent!
And the owners are super sweet.

Delicious

favorite sushi place for many years. Still great with lots of Interesting, delicious choices.

My favorite Japanese restaurant around. The food is always amazing. The staff is always friendly. I love the small cozy vibes of the place as well. I always bring others here

Sushi was the best I've had. Great atmosphere and service. We will be back.

This is my favorite sushi lunch spot! It’s always fresh. The owners are so friendly wand welcoming. You must try!

The family was looking to try something different and this place was great. After visiting to pick up, we will probably dine in next time because the atmosphere was great.

Small and quaint, peter parker spider rolls are good. Eel is delicious.

Staff is friendly. Duke remebers names of everyone that seems to walk in. We cone here often for the food and the warm welcome.

Went at lunch time and ordered the bento box lunch special, gyoza, and Tai donuts.

The gyoza was nice, the bento box was awesome, and the Tai donuts were FANTASTIC came with glaze, chocolate, and chopped nuts. (All separately contained)

Went here about a year ago and still havent had better sushi the owner is so sweet and the environment is nice! Best food ive ever had and best customer service! I absolutely recommend this place!

perfect and delicious every time that i try

おいし！

The food and the service was incredible, the sushi had a pretty presentation. I recommend to try this secret local gem restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Awsome Japanese style cooking. And loved the Thai food also.

Very friendly and eager-to-please owner who is beloved by his many repeat customers. Sometimes he's willing to prepare for me items at lunchtime that are only on the dinner menu.

Not fast food. Everything seems prepared fresh, so there can be a wait. I dine here repeatedly for lunch, when I'm not in a hurry to return to the office.

My favorite menu items are (raw) tuna salad, yummy chive pancakes, fried bananas, and salmon and tuna sushi.

This is a hidden Gem 💎 If you want quality. Fresh Authentic Japanese real sushi! Come here! They also make traditional Thai food.

The owners were so down to earth and the place is very clean. Can't wait to eat more.

The food is THE BEST! Made to order by the owner, it doesn’t get any better. Spicy tuna rolls are the best I’ve ever had!

Came in to take out a chicken Pad Tai dinner. Was charged $17. Pad Tai noodles are cheap! You can a buy a box for $4. When I got home, there wasn't much to eat. I'm very disappointed! Give people their money's worth! I definitely won't be back!

Great quality sushi. This place is a hidden gem.

Faceless Samurai is a must try sushi spot! The food is so fresh and tasty, I have never ordered anything I did not love. Duke is the Sushi Master and can make any roll you request. Duke and his staff are always so friendly and very attentive.

Hands down the best sushi in the Tampa bay area! You can tell they know how to craft their art! Duke and Isaac are amazing!! I’ll be coming back for years.

I can’t believe I’ve been living in this area for over 3 years and I’ve just made it here now! The food, service and atmosphere are outstanding. The tuna salad in the bento box was amazing and the chicken katsu and the hangover roll were delicious. I just found my new go to Japanese restaurant.

We love coming here every week. Great food great everything.

Varied menu which is great for multiple palates. Recommend the harbor roll (sweet potato and pumkin), chicken teriyaki, and gyoza.

Super excellent!! I can't say enough good about the food here. I love their Pad Thai box. Best California roll I've ever had. People are super friendly and remember you when you return.

Had lunch at this quaint sushi restaurant, started with Curry Puff, which is a blend of carrots potatoes and curry. Enjoyed several rolls also. Highly recommend the Jack Sparrow & Volcano for those who enjoy salmon. The classical music created a lrelaxed atmosphere

Good food!!

I was visiting Clearwater with my girlfriend and her parents and we found this place on our date night. This place had the best sushi I've ever put in my mouth. I recommend the peter parker roll. They have raw and cooked sushi so if youre not into eating raw things the faceless samurai has got you covered. The atmosphere was amazing! The chef was super nice and seemed very excited when we told him how good the food was. If we ever visit Clearwater again we will come to this location.

Excellent service and sushi. We told the waiter we wanted 5 rolls, and the chef didn't disappoint. It was fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back.

This place would get more stars if it would let me. It’s a small but decorated to take you to Japan. Staff is super friendly. The sushi melts in your mouth, which is how fresh sushi should be. Everything we had all the flavors on point. Nothing was over seasoned or under seasoned and fresh. This is definitely one of my favorite Japanese places in the area. “itadakimasu”!

Great lunch and dinner. Will be back!

Phenomenal sushi! Pad Thai is must. Definitely our new sushi spot.

Very disappointing sushi spot. My volcano roll was topped with imitation krab, which for the price I expected real fish on top. They were overall very stingy with their fish amount. Save your money for Umai Cafe in Clearwater.

This is an amazing hidden gem. The Sushi is fantastic and Duke is the best

I’m picky about sushi… this place is very good!

Unprecedented wait times. Be prepared to wait forever for your food when you're dining in. They seem to be busy filling up online orders with dire dereliction of in-house customers. Food was average in small quantities. Take away might be a better choice

Went on a whim, sushi and sashimi are choice. Would recommend. Good sake selection.

The wait time was a bit long but the flavor of the food made it worth it and it is a little bit hidden...worth coming here.

Stopped in for a quick lunch today, sat at the bar, got the Pad Thai & Thai Tea. Glad service was good and fast, 20 min in and out.

Amazingly tasty
Thank you for the experience

The atmosphere is authentically Japanese. The cute booths remind me of my favorite restaurants in Japan. The menu has a lot of great options for both Thai and Japanese favorites. I haven’t tried the Thai yet, but the Japanese is spot on!

Edit: it's now 2023 and nothing has changed. Still as good as ever.

This place is a local treasure. It's the little details that make it, like the perfect sushi rice, the homemade tamago omelet, etc that make it what it is. Creative rolls, quality fish, quality non-sushi dishes like katsudon and okonomiyaki. It also doubles as one of the best Thai restaurants in North Pinellas. Duke is the coolest sushi chef and makes you feel at home even when he's working on 100 things at once, and his staff are equally welcoming.

Great find. Tell Duke ,Dave sent you!

We had delicious sushi here tonight!! It was really fresh and the rolls were unique and really good. The staff was very attentive too! Will definitely be going back!

This is a first time leaving a negative review for a Japanese/sushi restaurant as there are so many places in the area that are very good. We have a few favorite spots we frequent regularly. Tried this place for the first time the other day and it was the worst Asian cuisine we've ever had. The sushi was disgusting. The sushi tasted old, so much so that I thought I might get food poisoning. There was actual shrimp tail shells in it. No shrimp meat, just shells stuck in the middle of almost every sushi roll. First time I've ever spit sushi out and thrown it away. The chicken teriyaki was dry, lacked flavor and the dinner portion size was tiny. Will definitely not be back.

Delicious food and a very friendly and attentive staff; the service we received was excellent. Recommendations include the nabyaki udon soup and the shrimp tempura. We look forward to trying their sushi on our next visit.

This place is the cutest and has such amazing sushi! We had got a rainbow roll, salmon roll, and a make your own roll which i haven’t seen anywhere do that before. The man that owns the restaurant is so nice as well! I will definitely be back :)

Best pad thai and sushi!

Palm Harbor is not worthy of the faceless Samurai. The Tampa Bay area is not worthy of the faceless samurai. This is a plaza that you could drive by without even knowing. But yet has the greatest Sushi ever made, with so many selections that it could take years to go through the menu. I've been there several times and haven't had a bad meal or a bad service or not have been welcomed with a smile on the way in or the way out. This place blows anywhere in Tampa or St Pete away!...I'm luckier to have this place in my life.

I went there tonight with my husband. Everything was perfect just like always. We really like this place. It’s within a mile away from our house so we go there pretty often. Never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

Awesome sushi menu. Every one was great that we tried. Recommend the Full house roll.

I’ve been here a few times and absolutely love everything I eat here. The owner is an amazing person. Great place to eat and a perfect date night!

A hidden local gem for those who like authentic asian food, precisely Thai & Japanese. Great menu, very reasonable prices and friendly staff. Expect a little slow service but if not in a hurry its worth the wait. Highly recommend!

The staff are extremely nice, and the food is delicious

me and my boyfriend have been here twice and both times weve been very appreciative of the service they provide and the authenticity and quality of the food. our server gave us edamame free of charge to snack on while we waited for our sushi, and realized we were using the wrapper from one of the chopsticks as chopstick holders, gave us some instead. very good and lovely staff. will definitely be coming here many more times in the future.

First time trying. Got shrimp Pad Thai and 3 sushi rolls. Pad Thai was very lacking in flavor. You could tell just by the color, which was very pale. One of our sushi rolls was missing an item listed in the description. All of the rolls were rolled poorly and kept falling apart as we were trying to pick them up. Even the pickled ginger tasted off. Staff seemed friendly on the phone, but really underwhelmed with the food. Don't plan on returning.

Duke is simply a master of his craft. The service here is wonderful, the experience is warm and welcoming, and the food is nothing short of art. After eating here for the first time, my fiancé and I decided we HAD to become regulars; we’ve been going weekly ever since. The sushi is the best I’ve ever had in my life. Authentic, gorgeous presentation, delicious, and made with care and love. If you are looking for an incredible experience with even better food at an affordable price, this is the place for you.

Fast service, authentic and good food. Plating and proportions were a solid 10/10

Worth mentioning that the ahi tuna tasted high grade and the atmosphere and decor were high effort

Great service. Fantastic sushi.

Went here on a whim with my wife. Holy hell was the food amazing. The service was great. We tend to order with our eyes, so we ordered the sexy lady sushi roll and it melts like butter in your mouth, the detail to the roll was beautiful. Then we ordered some chilled sake which was fun. Got the samurai sampler and everything was amazing in that. Best spring roll I've ever had. I ordered my main meal which was the tekkadon which I've never had in my life cause you know ,YOLO. And it was so good. The tuna on the rice was so delicious. Wife got the pad thai and it was full of flavor with nice little spicy kick to it. Overall experience was amazing. We were already trying to figure out what we wanted to order next time. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you again for the amazing food and amazing hospitality!!!

Duke runs a wonderful restaurant. He always makes everyone that visits feel like family. I highly recommend Faceless Samurai- fantastic food and wonderful service.

Great Sushi, sometimes it gets super busy on weekends. Good selection, and specialty rolls are Great.

We ordered food Togo a couple of weeks ago. I called ahead to inquire what the vegetarian rolls are available and was even given prices. When my husband went in to order and pay. The bill was $20 more than what was told and added. When we got home, the sushi wasn’t amazing and there was no soy sauce given for four rolls. We were staying at an Airbnb. When called about the pricey being off, the women said there wasn’t anything she could do.

Awesome! Love this place ., 🍣

This is the BEST sushi in Palm Harbor hands down! Every roll is over the top and the seating is limited, but cozy!

Don't bother eating sushi here. We ordered few rolls and sashimi and everything was very stale, dry and super salty. We are hoping not to get sick after eating here tonight. We are crossing this place off our list.

Great food. Cool ambiance. Small intimate place. I've had everything from crispy duck to pad thai, sushi, curries. Everything is awesome and Duke is always so friendly and welcoming.

Got the chiraishi bowl and they have some tasty sashimi selections in it. They also packaged the okonomiyaki we ordered in a way that it didn't turn soggy - vented container, genius! It was warm and crunchy in places, and has a good amount of Bonito, Kani, and octopus pieces. And very yummy. New fave. The service was good and thoughtful. Great Japanese place, and the ambience is nice. Definitely coming back.

Extremely poor service. The server didn't write anything down and forgot my order. She did not apologize or acknowledge the error at all- though we half expected to have my order removed from the check seeing as it wasn't put in until the rest of the table was served and didn't come until they were finished eating. It would have been better if she had at least apologized, but we got nothing out of her but a "here you go" as she put my plate in front of me and took the empty plates of the people dining with me back to the kitchen. The sushi was good and the sushi chef was friendly, but the service was just awful and we will not be back. She completely forgot my order because she did not write anything down and she did the same to the table next to us- we heard her confirming their orders again long after they had ordered originally. Please provide your servers with note pads and make sure they use them.

I've been eating here for many years. Their sushi is always incredibly fresh and tasty and the staff is friendly. You'll find the owner, Duke, behind the bar making sushi every day.

Service is friendly but food is overpriced IMO. A starter is $15. An average curry rice would cost no more than $15 elsewhere is $22 here. A lot of unique recipes we saw in the review photos are no longer on the menu. Overall, based on my personal experience, there are plenty of better options in the Bay Area.

Food was just ok but over priced. Portion was very small too. There are a ton of better places for Japanese or Thai food in the Bay Area with more reasonable price. I don’t recommend this place.

The food was good, the wait for the food was too long. The service was friendly , we Will be back

Amazing Sushi! Some of the best in Tampa. Staff is wonderful :)

The cook/owner very professional and friendly food is fresh and tasty do not ask for hot you will get what you asking for

If you don't mind waiting 45 minutes for your dishes to come out, and being treated like your service doesn't matter compare to regulars head to this spot. Regulars who got there 20 minutes after us, got their food right away...

Faceless Samurai is always a treat! The freshest fish, the most delicious combinations, and the rice is never a sticky blob. The service is impeccable, and the Godzilla roll is a must!

Unbelievable sushi! Actually everything is amazing here. Great food, great service, amazing owners and staff. Hands down my favorite sushi in Tampa Bay. A must for my wife and I at least once a week!

We love coming here! My family has been coming here since I was a kid and we are never disappointed!

The food was great, the booths were awesome, the atmosphere was relaxing!

I enjoyed the sushi and thai food very much! I always order Thai Tea when I go out for thai, and the service was on point! I dined alone and they took great care of me! The gyoza was soooo tasty!

Excellent food! Wonderful staff!

Excellent food! Exceptional service! Love it!

The sushi was very good! Teriyaki was meh. My husband liked his Pad Thai. The problem was he had received his food and finished it before me or my children received their food. He is not a fast eater by any means. When I asked where mine and the children’s food was my sons bowl came right out and after a few minutes the other food came out. I suppose I must have came on a busy night since the other reviews said it’s empty. They were definitely short staffed. I want to like this place but the fact that I had to ask where the food was and nobody came over before to offer an explanation bothers me. Also the fact that my sons food came right out after I asked made me think it must have been sitting there. This place can be great if they get more help.

Best Japanese and Thai in Tampa! Great Staff and super clean and fresh. It's made to order, so don't expect quick, but it's worth it. Everything we had was great.

Happy I gave them a 2nd chance after having a rather bad first experience. The food is fantastic, they have hands down my favorite Katsu dish and the sushi is very creative. Love the booths inside, so creative and beautiful, perfect for a date. They have definitely been more tentative and accurate on our orders since our first experience. Would definitely recommend them.

Great food, friendly staff

Good food, nice atmosphere. Neighborhood vibe. Cool seats, and reasonable prices good food! Easy menu. Right off of Tampa Road.

Literally the best sushi I’ve ever had. Awesome miso soup too. Everything I had was great. I can’t rate this high enough. Unfortunately though, this place was empty! Clearly a hidden gem!

It’s our first time coming here, we normally go to two regular sushi restaurants in Palm Harbor. First of all, I never saw any waitress with no face expression until today, one waitress served us with no smile and seemed rude when took our order, maybe that matches their name faceless Samarai? Second of all, my husband ordered some Sashimi, it tasted very fishy and not fresh. I am a sashimi lover but I could not even finish a whole piece. It’s over priced and smaller portion than others. Will not come back again. Not recommend!

Sushi was amazing . Sushi chefs were very friendly . Curry was absolutely amazing some of the best I've had . Definitely will be our new Thai place 😊 oh and they had the cutest set ups for tables .

The people seem very nice and pleasant. The place is small and homey. We liked the pork goyza and the potato curry puffs. The large pot of Thai udon soup was really good and large enough for 4 people to eat. That came also with tempura, really delicious. The sushi rolls were just average and in the dry side especially the volcano. But the worst part was that we had this large party, family of 7 right next to us. They were so loud and very inconsiderate of us sitting at the next table. I couldn’t help but overhear every single thing they shouted. I can tell you all of their lives story. Couldn’t wait to just finish our meal and leave.

Best spot for Japanese and Thai food I've been to since moving to Tampa. Duke and the rest of the staff are good peoples. If you're in the area and you're looking for a great place to eat this one's a no brainer.

Just barely ok

Ok food

Best sushi place in town and a great staff. They have some unique sushi rolls you can't get anywhere. I suggest the Steve's roll if you like cilantro. Best gyoza I've ever had.

Pretty good overall. The sushi tastes great. The seaweed salad and gyoza were nice too. The prices were a bit higher than our normal place, and the sushi service was very slow.

Overpriced and overrated

Just went here for my 1 year with my boyfriend and the food and service was amazing! Will definitely be coming back here!! Highly recommend!

Great place with very polite staff, delicious food, and reasonable prices! Nice quiet atmosphere in a lovely little neighborhood area. We hope to come by again soon, try them out! Great menu selection, there is more than just Sushi. The decor is cute also. Nice soothing atmosphere.

Excellent sushi and service. Super fresh sushi and great Thai dishes. Highly recommend.

Great mom and pop restaurant. Definitely my new favorite place. Great sushi and Thai

Very good food

Fantastic Always! Best kept secret in Palm Harbor

Went in and tried the bento dinner. This allowed me to sample quite a lot that they had to offer. Great sushi, tempura, teriyaki, etc. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic and quaint little place. Not too big. Not too small. Great quality sushi. Very nice staff.

Excellent sushi

Small Japanese steakhouse

Very quaint, quiet and loaded with charm! Cozy seating at the bar or booths, as well.

The edamame was wonderful to snack on and the sushi itself was really, really good and for a decent price!

Thoroughly enjoyed this place for a date night with my wife. We highly recommend this place and will return!

Food was very good, but we went for the happy hour specials advertised on the website. When we arrived, we were told they no longer offer them and have been trying to get them off the website for years. We ended up spending twice what we really wanted to spend for dinner. Unfortunately, this left a bad first impression for me.

Quality is amazing every time.

Secret treasure of sushi and Thai ♡♡♡♡
They have Hot Pots ( if your into that) +☆☆

If I could give 10 stars I would! We've been regular weekly customers for quite some time. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect! Duke, the owner, hangs out behind the sushi bar. Knows almost all of his customers by name and always has a smile on his face. Very outgoing and friendly. Thi, (Tee) is always moving, taking spectacular care of the customers with a big smile on her face as well. Jack is a great new addition to the staff. Very attentive and always filling in where needed. Very positive and upbeat. I don't think he knows how not to smile! The kitchen staff is amazing too! We feel like family here. You won't be disappointed!!!!

Been coming here for over 6 years. Duke is an amazing sushi chef! Best sushi in Tampa Bay hands down!

FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER. WE WENT TO THIS PLACE TONIGHT. NOW WE ARE BOTH HAVING A STOMACH PROBLEMS AND SO SICK .I AM THINKING TO TAKE MY WIFE TO ER, QUALITY OF FOOD IS --10 , I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO GO THAT PLACE.

The BEST Tom Ka gai anywhere! Wonderful, friendly service & fantastic food!

Good prices fast service and great food

LOVE the food and the hospitality!

Good sushi, nothing to write home to. Decent prices.

The best sushi restaurant we've gone too! The staff is incredibly friendly, portions are generous. Food is amazing! No other sushi restaurant can compare to faceless samurai!

hands down BEST sushi in town. the waitress stefany was absolutely incredible. i REALLY recommend this restaurant...

Quiet hole in the wall restaurant with great food and even friendlier servers. I enjoyed a hot green tea, a bento box with spicy tuna and a Godzilla roll. Everything was delicious.

Last night our family of 5 ordered delivery through a second party from Faceless Samurai. We have dinned here in person and very much so enjoyed our past experiences and food. However, last night was the stark opposite.
First, there is a $100 limit on what you can order online. While reasonable to keep carrying size to a manageable level - for a family of 5 its causes difficulty ordering enough food. Not the biggest issue, we were all fed in the end.
However the quality of food was poor compared to past experiences here. The miso soup had either not been given enough dashi or was purposefully watered down. It was practically hot water with seaweed an tofu. The Green Curry, usually a huge dish and two meals for any person was smaller than expected (but tasty and spicy). Swim/blood lines were left in the salmon of one roll. One roll had cucumber that was not in the description causing an dietary issue for the person wanting to eat it.
I am giving the average stars based on multiple experiences, but what happened last night means this family will not be back anytime soon and will visit one of the many other available - and consistent in quality - sushi and Asian restaurants in the area.

By far, the best sushi you will have anywhere. Duke and his staff are wonderful. Their sushi is literally the best you will have. The sushi, crispy duck panang, and mango with sticky rice dessert are my favorites but everything is delicious there! They are my absolute favorite sushi restaurant. Nowhere else compares even close!

Excellent rolls. Really yummy sushi!

Sushi chef is friendly, cozy place, good food - will highly recommend to family, friends & associates.

Sushi is fresh, melt in your mouth and displayed beautifully. Sunomono salad was perfectly balanced with acid and sweet. Tried the Pad Thai tonight. Best we’ve had since Thailand. The tofu was lightly fried and delicate inside. A true winner. I recommend this restaurant without reservation. It’s honestly the best around.

Best sushi around, and Duke will remember you forever after your first visit!

Amazing food and service!

Great customer service. Awesome food.

Great sushi and sashimi beautifully presented

Great sushi!

The best sushi in Tampa bay!

Food was awesome. Prices were great. Wonderfully atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I love thai food there and sushi chef Duke knows how to make my tummy happy!! His sushi skill is top notch!

Service was very slow. It does seem to be only a two person operation. Food was just ok. We sat in the booth and the seats are very uncomfortable
Probably will not be back.

Called ahead and asked for the VIP treatment. The owner always does an amazing job and we were very happy. I would recommend it to anyone.
