Beautiful restaurant with an interesting history. Excellent menu and the food was fantastic! Had the 1/2 salad and cup of soup lunch. Choose the black bean soup served over rice. Delicious! After we ate we asked about the restaurant history and the assistant manager gave us a wonderful tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This is one of my favorite Tampa restaurants! I've never had a negligible dish. The service and atmosphere is great. Usually I have a hard time hearing, but it was a full restaurant tonight, andI was able to hear the table conversation. Can't speak more highly of this place.

Our party arrived at different times and we were seated as we arrived. They brought water and we were able to order appetizers to hold us until the last person showed up. The food was really good. Sushi was great. Bento box was great. It was a nice experience.
