KELP SUSHI JOINT

Sushi rolls & miso soup for lunch, friendly knowledgeable staff.

Absolutely awesome in every way! We have been here and ordered from here several times and whether it's in person or uber delivery everything is always fresh and delicious!

Really great rolls here. I like the Florida roll a lot. Quality sushi at a good price, will be back.

The food is fine, the sushi chefs are just making what is on the menu and doing their best but the menu itself is bland. $5 for a bowl of white rice served on a flat plate is egregious. You can tell that the decorations are mostly second hand and they flip the place quickly from whatever establishment it used to be. Sushi bar coolers all had cracks and breaks in them. Wait staff was terrible, talking amongst themselves and didn’t even notice I was there before the hostess walked over 5 min later. Same hostess also cleaned up my dishes because the waitress couldn’t be bothered. It’s fine, another overpriced sushi place in Tampa. Problem is they’re charging soho/south tampa prices in a VERY different area code.

Sat and waited for food (to-go) with Hot Saké with friends. Great atmosphere, wonderfully beautiful food, and very tasty. Staff were pleasant, attentive, and engaged. I would highly recommend this place to any traveler such as myself!

The sushi class and sake tasting class was a less than desirable experience and I would not recommend to anyone due to the lack of professionalism, organization, timeliness, and overall experience. First, the initial booking required a $25 fee per person. There was no additional information stating the class was $75 per person and that there would be a 20% gratuity fee for the class. Nevertheless, the class total was $200 per couple. My husband and I booked the 8pm reservation for the 2 hour class on February 13th 2024. The reservation suggested for individuals to arrive at least 15 minutes before the reservation which we did. We were directed to sit at the bar until our class was set to begin. My husband and I were not seated for our class until 8:20pm. The server was unapologetic for experience starting 20 minutes over start time and blamed previous experience for late start. The server seemed rushed and disorganized and had to be reminded of guests needs. I would recommend having 2 servers for larger parties as it would have helped the class. We then ordered the sake and appetizers which arrived at 8:45pm. The sushi chef arrived at 9pm and we received our sushi kit ingredients. The ingredients did not seem fresh and the avocado was browning. The sushi chef did not interact with the guests and was just calling out the steps to complete the sushi rolls. The chef seemed burnt out and as he was just going through the motions. Once our sushi class ended we ordered deserts which arrived pretty late as well. The whole table had already paid their remaining bills and the last entree did not arrive till 9:45pm. The class was a waste of money and time and needs to be restructured better.

Delicious Amazing food The veggie sushi was wonderful and the eight wonders my husband loved it The ingredients overall fresh And April great server super sweet and loving We will definitely come back
