We went on Valentine’s Day for sushi only and it was packed but we were seated pretty quickly, we order the American Dream with a delicious plum sauce, super fresh, Godzilla and another one I forgot but all 3 were delicious and the price was pretty reasonable too around 50 dollars before tip and did I mentioned the amazing presentation.

My husband and I went here hoping to find gluten free options on the menu(which sadly they don’t have), but they were very accommodating. I had brought my own GF soy sauce and it was a quiet night in the middle of the week, so they were willing to make some modifications for us. Thanks to Quin for our great meal!

Not so great experience here. Should’ve left when we realized the table at which we were seated was covered with ants. Moved to the teppanyaki tables instead. Ordered one roll of sushi to try while we waited for our hibachi dinners… it wasn’t even edible. The tuna on top of the roll was pink and gray-green and smelled horrible. We told the waitress that we didn’t want it, she told another woman that works there that we were sending it back. That woman asked if we’d like to get a different roll(um, no thanks…). The teppanyaki was just ok. I’ve had much, much better at other restaurants. The atmosphere was cheesy. The décor might’ve been pretty but it didn’t match the super casual behavior of the chefs. The shows they put on are fun to watch but when they start throwing food into the patrons’ mouths(and just generally AT them), it’s tough to sell«classy». Sure, I laughed, it was a little funny but when they started squirting saki from giant mustard bottles into our table mates’ mouths(and hounding us to let them do the same to us), I was pretty much done. On our way out, no one bid us goodbye, said thank you — nothing — because the woman at the door was too busy texting. Waste of a date night dinner :(

Without calling ahead, Kuchi had no problem seating our large group of 18 for a birthday dinner on a weeknight — no wait at all. Our server was very patient with those of us who had no clue what we were ordering, and she was helpful in offering suggestions. The hibachi chef was entertaining and fun to watch as he made our meals! Our food was fresh, and the service was attentive. I heard no complaints from our large group, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered. We also brought a birthday cake(Publix), which wasn’t a problem at all… in fact, our wonderful server brought us fresh plates, forks & ice cream!

Good food, good prices. I went with the family for a birthday dinner and everyone loved it. The cook was great with the 4 year old in our party and it was interactive to keep the entire table entertained. Drinks were also half price on Fridays… Bonus! Definitely a place we’ll return when we want hibachi or sushi.

Love the ambiance of this place! With delicious sushi to boot! My husband and I came here for a Saturday lunch and had the painted lady, out of control, and Philadelphia roll. The painted lady has spicy lobster, mango, asparagus, spicy tuna, and avocado. This one was a two biter. The out of control roll has yellowtail, asparagus, avocado, seared salmon, and seared tuna. This one was my favorite! Both were pretty spicy so it was nice having the Philadelphia roll to put out the fire. They have hibachi tables on the other side of the restaurant so we’ll have to come back for a show!

Updating my review and experience, as this has been my go-to sushi restaurant for both dine-in and take-away. As of late, quality has deteriorated. Disappointing. Staff are good, but the sushi not. Tuna sashimi was ‘stringy’ and un-digestible; couldn’t eat it. Couple hours after meal, I was nauseous, likely from the tempura. Sorry, but won’t go back.

KUCHI Sushi & Hibachi is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Florida. The fish is as fresh as you’d imagine and the rolls have incredible flavor. I’ve had various seafood and drinks and have never been disappointed. On top of the food the service has always been what you’d expect out of a high class restaurant. All that said expect a bill that reflects the quality of the food and sushi — it isn’t cheap to eat or certainly host people for dinner here. However, I do think it’s a must for the sushi fanatic when in Tampa.

Place is tucked away in a spot that has hosted many failed concepts. Hope this place makes it as is in clean inside with nice décor. Food is also very good(loyal Kobe dinner) and priced right. Would suggest some signage out on Anderson Road as I suspect most people run into this place on their way to the movies.

My boyfriend and I visit this place at least once a month since they opened. We love their sushi and the atmosphere at this place! I will definitely recommend this place for casual dinner. Food is delicious, try their salmon and shrimp hibachi :)

Well this is definitely my new spot. I stopped by last night after an acute onset of an intense sushi craving hit me. Being that it’s in the same plaza as the AMC Veterans there’s plenty of parking and a quick walk over to the theater. Perfect for the dinner and a movie type of evening. Inside the restaurant it’s very modern, crisp, and clean. There’s a fair amount of up lighting which gives the place a little more of a nicer vibe. I was greeted immediately by a very friendly waiter who was professional and engaging. The menu was the size of a textbook so all the typical options you would hope to find and a lot of creative sushi rolls are available. I ordered the ‘Out of Control’ roll and after the first delicious bite I automatically checked my calendar to see when my schedule would allow for me to come back! Presentation was beautiful, very fresh ingrediates, and great flavor! The list of $ 5 cocktails covers most of the go to drinks that people order and it’s not the watered down version that you expect on the discounted drinks menu. Overall I had a great time, awesome meal, and foresee this place doing very well :)

I came into a quirky interior that had playful elements. A guy comes with a fresh hot towel and I was impressed– the traditional way to eat sushi is with your hands. I was really hopeful at this point. Tuna is a great indicator of fish quality so I ordered a hand rolled spicy tuna roll and a specialty tuna amazing. The spicy tuna was not fresh at all. I was surprised it looked all the way cooked and ground up. The texture was very grainy. I requested low to no sauce on the tuna amazing, but it was still quite covered. It tasted cheap, but it also didn’t cover for the fish that didn’t taste fresh either. Even if we ignore their ingredients, my sushi was not sliced evenly. This shows that the chef is undisciplined. Their sushi doesn’t cut it in ingredients or preparation. Furthermore, a worker who was not my server was on her phone and eating noodles in my line of sight. I tipped well for my adorable server, but I probably won’t be back.

Great atmosphere, service, and decent food. There are a few minor quibbles — I don’t care for their salad dressing — it’s more sweet than gingery for my taste — and the brown dipping sauce isn’t as good as other teppanyaki places. The noodles are lo mein noodles and are rather firm — I much prefer the more spaghetti-like noodles that Arigato used. That said, the food is indeed good and priced reasonably.

Very nice interior and décor to this place. You can tell that the owners put a lot of though into the layout as the design is very modern and appealing to the eye. You are greeted by a nice water fountain as soon as you step inside and have the option at sitting in the sushi or hibachi area. Me and the misses elected to go to the sushi area because we were craving for good sushi. Gotta admit the presentation of the sushi was excellent as our dish came with a cool design of a shrimp that was drawn on using some type of sauce. The sushi however fell short as we received I’d say 85% rice/veggie/fruit and the remaining in small amounts of actual meat/fish. For the price we paid for each roll(about $ 15) I guess we expected more meat/fish or substance other than veggie/fruit in our sushi. We did order the ika maruyaki(grilled squid) which was very good and came in a big dish but as for the sushi it fell way short of our expectations. The free ice cream at the end of our meal was a nice touch!

OMG!!! Absolutely in love! I am a former Carrollwood area inhabitant and grew up eating at Arigatos once a week with my family. I have eaten at Japanese steakhouses all across the country from Hawaii to the West Coast and back to the East Coast. This has far surpassed my expectations. We began with the Ninja roll which was delivered within five minutes of ordering. Right after we finished our soup and salad, the roll arrived and when we finished our roll, our chef arrived. EVERYTHING(steak, shrimp, calamari) was perfectly prepared and our chef was a blast. My only complaint is that I have to catch two planes and travel 4+ hours to get here!

I was excited to try this restaurant but was disappointed. We went after a movie and at around 945pm, it was super busy. Our waitress took out drink order. The Hot Sake was cold and she brought us 2 larges instead of 1(we were a party of 5). It took her 3 – 4 reminders to bring me a straw for My water. I asked that one of my roll be made with no fish eggs and to add Cream cheese. As the waitress was setting It down she noticed the fish eggs and brought it back to the kitchen. When she Brought it back everyone was already halfway into their meal. So I go to eat it and noticed it had no cream cheese. I called the waitress over to tell her so I didn’t get charged for the cream cheese. She offered to fix but I declined. I was already annoyed and just wanted to eat dinner. I may come Back and try the hibachi but the rolls weren’t anything special and the attention to details were lacking.

So after reading the reviews we thought we’d try the hibachi side. it was fairly quiet when we arrived but soon fairly busy. the servers were attentive and soon our chef came… other than being fairly quiet(was a little hard to hear above the fans & noise of restaurant) but general jokes and there was a young boy(approx 3 years) that he kept smiling! Of the 4 ppl of our party, 2 had the chicken & shrimp &2 had the combo(lobster, steak, chicken, shrimp & scallops). I had my doubts as the scallops sizzled and developed crust and seemed to be on the grill too long as he tossed zucchini to participants willing to catch(or try!) in their mouths. Plenty of sauce added to the noodles & fried rice(little bit too much for us and the only thing that stopped that 5th star!) also had«yummy sauce» which is crazy rich(think savory crème brûlée!) which was delicious on the chicken! After all the entertainment he divided the proteins up… Man! DELISH! Surprisingly the scallops were tender with great flavor, filet well seasoned, lobster(covered in butter!) & tender chicken. Everyone very full & enjoyed very much! The ice cream at the end was a nice touch too! The people that were seated with us said they came often(lived very close) & really hoping this restaurant would«make it» since they enjoyed very often, us being from across the country probably won’t be back soon but definitely would if closer! We are all very glad we tried this place!

This would be a great for a small or large group that wants something different. Lunch prices are right on par and they have a full sushi bar for those that don’t want to do teppanyaki. I really enjoyed this place, it’s brand new and they’re just learning the market/target area. They were very helpful with the menu and there are two different areas, which makes it a great place to hang out for a drink on one of the two«lighted» tables that are just inside behind the waterfall… very kewl looking décor. I would suggest this place to anyone that wants something different, with a wide variety of sushi options.
