Saikyo Kitchen

Excellent new spot featuring my 2 fav regions, Japan and Vietnam. Karaage was quite good, as was Viet wings. Pho broth was great! I love the Mango mochi!

We drove past it and saw the signs so I looked it up and was excited to see a new ramen spot close to me but I was so incredibly disappointed. The staff was very nice, however service was very slow. Seemed like they kept putting off our orders for take out. The karaage was more like a tempura chicken. It was dark meat and very slimey. The ramen looked good but there was some sort of seasoning that I was not a fan of. I've had spicy miso before so I'm not sure what was off about it (it may have been the mushrooms)

For a Saturday, I was expecting it to be quick service because it should be the busiest time. When seated, it took about 20mins for someone to get us drinks and take our order. 45min wait after ordering, I saw that there were only 2 people working out front, there should’ve been more. The food was good, 3/5 but small portions for the cost.

Amazing Sushi, Wait staff was amazing and the restaurant was clean and very roomy. One of my top 2 Sushi restaurants in Tampa Bay Region

My partner and I have been here multiple times and have brought friends here as well. We always have fantastic food. The pho, ramen, sushi, you literally can't go wrong. I wanted to write this review about our server last night. My friend and I had dinner. Our server was working the whole front half of the restaurant by himself. Bussing tables, serving tables, checking out to go orders, making sushi, serving drinks, answering the phone. He was literally doing most of this stuff by himself. He was exceptionally kind and even though we had to wait a little (we didn't mind) it was great service. Unfortunately some people walked out because they felt it wasn't fast enough but at no point did I feel it was unreasonable. You could also see he genuinely felt horrible these people left. Our patience was rewarded with great service and great food. Always remember to have a little patience with people. You never know the full story. You may only see a small glimpse of the work that is being done.

Food was very good. Ramen and sushi. Light and pretty atmosphere. Service was good.

3.5 stars I’d say. This place is not terrible. Food is good & we found the service was adequate. Most items we tried were OK but the fried rice was exceptional. It’s hard to get good fried rice in Tampa so will definitely return for this alone. They have a nice Asian beer selection too, served in chilled glass. Restaurant seemed clean & food prepared to order. The parking is a little bit of a pain the way it’s designed although there were plenty of spots available. Basically, coming in through the main entrance on Gunn puts you facing the wrong direction on either side so you’re better off turning on the side road just after the plaza & coming in through there.

Great ramen and was a cozy spot to eat highly recommend
