I Ai Sushi

Best Takoyaki and Japanese Curry in Tampa in my opinion. But the ramen has been inferior for a while now but it's still better than most restaurants. Expect nothing else in terms of ambiance and be prepared for minimalist service though. It's all about the authentic food and that's all that matters most times.

They stopped serving OKINOMIYAKI years ago and get mad if you ask about it. Everything else is top notch! The food here is authentic and incredibly delicious, but I do wish service was better... I rather give tip to the cooking staff most times. I come from St.Pete and use to make the trek almost every week if that shows my craving for their food. Price is worth it.

I've passed by many times and did not stop because I did not like the location vibes I got. They seemed surprised I was there for lunch but they were open. When testing a sushi place I order the sashimi and look for any of my favorites. In luck, they make spider rolls, a favorite of mine. The salmon and white tuna were great and the tuna was good. The clam and shrimp don't ever change from place to place. There was no yellow tail, one of my favorite sashimi's. The sashimi selection could have been better. The spider roll had the classic flavor I look for, very good! The place itself looks cluttered, dingy and unorganized. It felt a bit claustrophobic. As you turn the corner it opens up a little. Massive menu of interesting and obscure items. I'm definitely going back to try a more diverse selection. It may take while. If great food persists, then it will go to 5 stars. Ramen is next.
