Intimate 8-seat tasting counter with East-West fusion dishes.
"This Michelin-starred, intimate eight-seater serves a tasting menu ($295 per person) of East-West fusion dishes that depart from the standard omakase experience. Dishes are comprised of top-notch ingredients such as bluefin tuna and uni flown in weekly from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market." - Laine Doss
"Tampa's first omakase-only restaurant, a short walk from Palihouse Hyde Park Village. Known for its exceptional dining experience." - Kevin Chau
"There is a watchful eye over the experience at this intimate eight-seat counter, where a multicourse contemporary tasting menu shares a singular interpretation of Japanese cuisine. The dishes are often unexpected yet always thoughtful." - MICHELIN Guide
"There is a watchful eye over the experience at this intimate eight-seat counter, where a multicourse contemporary tasting menu shares a singular interpretation of Japanese cuisine. The dishes are often unexpected yet always thoughtful. Spectacular seafood is a given: staple luxuries like bluefin tuna and uni are flown in weekly from Toyosu Market. Instead of the typical parade of nigiri, dishes offer unique combinations of Eastern and Western culinary sensibilities, as in the beet- and vodka-smoked salmon macaron or a chutoro hand roll with wasabi guacamole. The meal ends memorably with desserts like yuzu ice cream topped with Hokkaido uni and a sprinkling of caviar with lime zest." - Michelin Inspector
"The big news of the night came out of Tampa which saw One Stars doled out to Koya, Lilac, and Rocca bringing the entire stadium to roaring heights (and cheers) with chefs from all destinations applauding with enthusiasm and verve." - MICHELIN Guide
