KELP SUSHI JOINT

Unique atmosphere, well crafted sushi rolls, and the BEST Crab Rangoons you will ever have. The Honolulu roll has pineapple in it and is fantastic! The happy hour prices are great, with buy one get one half off rolls and appetizers. Beer and wine are very cheap, and the plum wine "taster shot" is super fun! Service was a little slower on a Friday night, but overall, it was a nice date night out on a Friday. Definitely will come here again!

Kelp is hands down the best sushi restaurant in Tampa, I visited the Town & Country location. Jo was my hostess & she was very nice, she made feel welcomed, seated me with such enthusiasm & even recommended some delicious rolls. Cat was my waitress, and she was very sweet, knowledgeable of the menu & drinks, she kept checking in on me, she was prompt with everything. Everyone here is being managed very well. Cheers to Mimi for it. I will be back again & again ♡

Very cool quaint sushi spot. It is very chill and the decor is nice. We came here on a Sunday evening and were seated right away. It was not crowded but the service was extremelyyyyy slow. I assume they maybe only had 1-2 waitresses. The specialty rolls in my opinion are pricey at about $17-20 / roll. They were really good but I've had better for less. We also got the Ginger salad which was very dry. We had asked for additional dressing and added another kind of dressing bc it was bland. The best thing food wise was the karaage chicken with rice and the sake mixed drinks

South Tampa atmosphere in central Tampa!! Delicious food and drinks. Our server Angie was very knowledgeable about the menu and a very experienced server. All her recommendations were excellent. Five stars all the way 🤩
