We went on a Tuesday night, there were only 12 people in the restaurant. They were out of seaweed for the seaweed salad and it took almost 30 minutes to get 2 overpriced rolls. Prices are EXTREMELY high compared to the sushi restaurants we eat at when back home, about twice the price - and ours INCLUDE salad and Miso Soup. Will I ever go back when in Tampa visiting relatives? HIGHLY unlikely.

“Best Sushi in Tampa!”

Samurai Blue Sushi & Sake Bar

Samurai Blue is by far the best in Tampa. It is located in Ybor City at Centro Ybor. Try the spontaneous combustion rolls, they are awesome. Usually a packed house until around 11:00 on the weekends and can be noisy as the crowd is generally late 20's through 30's and having a good time.
