Good sushi, nice venue and the staff was nice. A little more pricey then I would have liked. A friend referred this place and if you have a craving for sushi you will not be disappointed here.

The décor is aging a bit but the food is delicious. My business partner and I went there for lunch. We shared the sashimi appetizer, spicy salmon salad and the octopus salad. All three were delicious. They brought me a whole pot of green tea. On another occasion I tried the rolls and was very happy. They have a huge selection.

Really digging Rain. I think this is quickly becoming our go to for sushi and Thai. Discovered Rain at the 2015 Tampa Bay Sushi Battle, was happy to find out that it’s in St Pete! Restaurant is in a nondescript strip mall. Parking can be tight sometimes. Restaurant is nicely decorated and has a nice ambiance. Quiet enough for a nice date night or you can bring the family and enjoy a night out. We have tried both sushi and Thai dishes. Almost everything we have tried has been delicious. The sushi rolls we have tried so far are the Pregnant Woman, Heck Yea and spider rolls. All were very good and had nice flavor. Pad Thai is done right here! It’s not the sickly sweet orange kind you find at almost all other Thai spots. It’s got the right combo of sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Yum! The salmon curry is delicious, very savory and flavorful. Oh– also last time we were there, we were given some kind of fermented soy mung bean sprout appetizer– I need the recipe because this is a side dish I want for home lol. The miso soup and ginger salad are also spot on here. Most of the time I will pass on these appetizers because of either lack of flavor or freshness but I really enjoyed them at Rain. Only thing that we did not like was the teriyaki chicken that someone at the table ordered. The chicken was very dry and did not have much flavor. Service has been excellent and friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for sushi and/or Thai in the area.

Sushi is great. We ordered the sashimi appetizer in the picture as well as seaweed salad, spicy tuna roll, seaweed salad and sake. Everything was very good, fresh and tasty.

Stopped in last night for date night. The sushi was delicious, kinda pricey but good to eat. The space is dark but it seems like many sushi places are like that. Tables are also a bit too close together so I wouldn’t have a private conversation!

The only issue I have with Rain is deciding if I want sushi or Thai! The staff is always friendly, the curry dishes are excellent, and as simple as it is, the spicy salmon roll is the best I’ve had in Florida!

5 stars, would easily give more if available. The sushi is very fresh and clean tasting. The presentation is nice and I have made this a weekly stop for dinner. It is a shame this place is not busier. Every dinner roll they have is great. Definitely try this place out. Even the sushi snobs would highly recommend.

My review of this place is long overdue. I found this place a little over a year ago and it has been my «go to» place ever since. Having lived in this area for 16 years and being part Asian and growing up in Hawaii where sushi and Asian food are the norm this place does not dissapoint! From the moment you walk into this restaurant your welcomed by a friendly and caring staff, to a nicely decorated and clean dining area to prompt and attentive service with a very diverse but simple menu with excellent choices and pricing. I have tried nearly every item on this menu over the year or so that I’ve been dining here and I have yet to be dissapointed. My suggestion to anyone looking for a great Sushi/Thai/Asian place to eat out at you owe it to yourself to try Rain Japanese Sushi I assure you, you will be back!

Was going here frequently for their weekday specials, disappointed to see starting January they don’t offer those specials anymore. Waiting to see whether they’ll offer new specials soon.

Went for lunch today, after a coworker who’s a regular would not stop raving about this place. It was going to take me my entire lunch break to drive, pick up, and drive back to work, but he assured me it was worth it. And it was! I got the Lunch Tempura Shrimp option. That came with two gyoza(dumpling thingies), cali roll, and seaweed salad. I LOVETHESEAWEEDSALAD. Every thing in my bento box was fantastic. My only complaint is that there were only two shrimp. :-( They also don’t have yum yum(white) sauce, but I made do with spicy mayo. This is surprising because I am suuuuper sensitive to anything that’s mildly spicy — one of the cali roll pieces touched the wasabi and I nearly died. Overall 10⁄10 would recommend!

I rarely give 5 stars to a restaurant, everything from décor, cleanliness, service, and of course, food has to be great, and it all was. Friends of mine have been telling me how great Rain is and I finally made it, and I should’ve gone much sooner. Prices are extremely reasonable, almost to a point of cheap, which really surprised me when the bill came. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but don’t let that fool you, it’s very nice inside. We were greeted right away and it wasn’t busy so we were sitting at a table right away. Our server/servers were very nice and friendly, and asked if we had any questions about their menu. I ordered the yellowfin sashimi and salmon sashimi, Mexican roll, scallop roll, and a specialty roll called Pimp Daddy, and a side salad with ginger dressing. First the salad was very fresh iceberg lettuce with cucumber slices and shredded beets and carrots with a great ginger dressing for only $ 3. The sashimi was also very fresh tasting with very nice portions for $ 5 each. The Mexican roll was your standard type roll but very good and the salmon roll was equally tasty. The special roll was very very good, with a nice presentation with tuna, avocado, eel, and 3 different types of roe on top. I cannot believe this place has been just a few miles from my house for all this time, I will become a regular customer before the year is over !

My expectation for sushi was low, and this place was a very pleasant surprise! We ordered : Shrimp udon Basil Duck Chicken satay Tuna roll California roll Stalker roll The udon was not what i expected, it smelt so delicious and the soup tasted so warming. Not too salty. My son, who is two, devoured the entire bowl by himself! The biggest surprise was the chicken satay. My family is from malaysia, so I know what real satay is. This was … pretty close to flavor and the peanut sauce was actually really good(i dont usually like peanut sauce). My son, also ate a whole stixk of meat by himself. The basil duck was good flavor. Actual slice of duck meat fried, so the crunch with the sauce was just yummmmy! We enjoyed all the sushi, the tuna roll was pretty good! It was the first time i seen it in a triangle roll. The stalker roll was very good. To be honest i hate mayo usually because most places do it over kill style. This place was just right. The service was prompt and spot on. Lady was super nice! I would highly recommend!

This place does not look to appealing from the outside. Once I walked in I was actually quite surprised. The restaurant looked well taken care of, had a separate section if you wanted to sit traditional style on the floor, and greeted instantly by the hostess/server. It was a Sunday afternoon when my family decided to come in for some sushi. The place wasn’t busy, but it wasn’t dead either. That afternoon, we were a big party and it seemed like there was only one server on the floor. She seemed to handle the volume quite easily with us and all the other customers in the restaurant. Compliments to her! We ordered quite a few rolls, I don’t remember all of the names, but the prices here are quite reasonable. The rolls were all delicious and tasted fresh, which is surprising for hybrid restaurants. We also ordered a few Thai dishes, all well prepared and properly seasoned. All the food came out quickly and hot. I enjoyed this place and will be coming back

Hard to find and scary to look at from the outside but proved to be lovely. The ambiance gets 5 stars and so does the yummy ginger dressing(not cream based for once). We had good service — not great. We had good food and not so great food — my companion’s soba noodles were mush but the tofu in the dish was delish! It’s fine sushi, nothing to write home about, very affordable and veggie friendly.

Sushi was fresh, the inside was clean and the service was delightful. I am a simple gal. I ordered the Jasmine tea and Cali roll. Not fancy on my part but it was delicious. My whole table loved their food. We finished with bananas fried. A perfect way to end a great meal.

We liked Rain! We drive by it and never notice it, so we figured we would give it a shot. We got 3 rolls, the Call me Sugar, the Hangover and I can’t remember the last one. But we weren’t sure about the Chocolate Sauce on the one roll, so we got it on the side and the server was fine with that request. It was different but spicy and good!

One of the best sushi places I’ve ever been to. The service is friendly. The atmosphere is a mix between traditional and modern. Very clean place. It’s easy to drive by and miss it because it’s in a strip mall type of location near Carmelita’s and a Lebanese restaurant. My fiancé and I went tonight. He got hot Jasmine tea and I got the Thai iced coffee and both were excellent and fairly priced. We started with an order of crab rangoon. It was the best crab Rangoon I’ve had before. It doesn’t have that artificial taste like the kind you get at some Chinese restaurants. They also put a sauce on the side which is really good although I’m not sure what it’s called. We decided to get a Mexican roll and a speciality roll called Pregnant Woman. The Pregnant Woman had fried grouper and other goodies. Sushi was superb. All ingredients were fresh and very tasty. They have several specialty rolls with clever names(see photos). For 2 rolls, 2 drinks, and the appetizer, our bill was less than $ 30. Very affordable for a sushi place. If you’re into Thai, they also have an exclusive menu for that. Best sushi so far in Pinellas. We will definitely be back!
