Outstanding food!! Highly recommend to any Japanese food lovers. Yakitori was really great and the sushi was excellent. Interesting combinations. And the happy hour appetizers are really a good deal. Will definitely return.

We had a party of 9 and the service was friendly, jovial, and attentive. No hiccups at all and the entire party left happy with satisfied bellies, and wanting to come back.

Now I was not on time but I hail from another state and relied on GPS which let me know I would be on time but did not know about downtown Tampa traffic so the arrival time kept changing on my GPS I was late for my dinner the host promptly let me know my table was given away I missed the 15 minute grace period I could not call because I was driving now I am not angry because I was late due to above legitimately I understand. The host states I could eat outdoors which I did so that I could get a table, but it looked like a nuclear food bomb went off the tables around me were filthy and they did not clean them until some poor bloke like me had to eat outside. I know staffing is tough but geesh! The food choice I had was very good service was mediocre but be on time or you may be eating surrounded in filth outside like I did!

The food was absolutely terrific. Quite frankly when I looked at the menu prior to my reservation I felt a bit underwhelmed as I didn't feel like it was Inventiv enough. All of that aside the execution was so terrific I think I could've been excited about something as simple as a bowl of white rice. just really terrific food.

When we sat down at the table there was an employees leftover food bag and napkin on the chair! Then we got the two water in a dirty jug! The starters did not arrive at the same time than when we were still eating the starters they dropped off the main course for 2/3! Then for the last main we had to wait for an extra 10 min! One of the glass we got the moktail was broken! Oh and the booklet for the receipt was completely broken! Would be a nice place but it seams they don’t reallly care!
