This is a hidden gem of a restaurant in a small strip center on Sheldon Rd and well worth the trip. The owner and staff are very friendly and attentive and will explain each dish with care and recommend items to your preference. I’ve had calamari many places and this hands down is the best ever and surprisingly no sauce needed or served with it – very flavorful on its own. Did not sample the sushi but only a couple dishes and look forward to a return visit. The food is fresh, skillfully cooked and generous portions and explained as Asian Fusion. Well worth the trip.

The sashimi is fresh and high quality. The fish is delicious and smooth with no fishy taste. The crispy volcano chicken was also good but basically general tso’s chicken that you could get anywhere for less than $22. The menu prices for the sashimi and sushi increased by $6 from $27.95 to $33.95 since last month and they don’t have a website or post pricing online. Also they charge $4 more if you pay with a card instead of cash, which they don’t tell you until after you get the bill. Spent about $80 for 2 people after the tip. Unlike other restaurants of this style, they don’t give you miso soup or salad or anything while you wait for your food. Ordered a coke and they only have cans, which they also don’t tell you until you get it, so no refills obviously. It’s not fine dining, the restaurant is small and so are the tables, and the tables are very close together. The atmosphere, amount and type of food don’t warrant the high prices. The fish quality was good but the pricing and charges are underhanded. Overall not worth it. Plenty of better options for the amount of money or even less money honestly.

This was a little out of the way but I’m happy to drive to find good food. The chicken pad thai is the best I’ve had in Tampa. It’s nicely sauced to my liking while I’ve found many other places too dry and it has a nice bold flavor. The noodles were the best texture with just that great chew that many places miss. I also ordered the Volcano chicken which is kind of similar to a General Tso’s but a bit better. More tamarind-forward flavor as well as kept crispy and fried well chicken pieces. Nice and saucy to pour over rice. Also had a Thai Iced tea which was great on a hot day.

Highest grade sushi created by a master in a warm, friendly, neighborhood environment. This family run business is the best sushi in the area. I ate beyond my limit, which is hard for me to do with sushi. And Lit’s dipping sauces are a game changer. Sayonara wasabi and soy sauce. Thank you for a world class dining experience Prayda, Lit and crew!

I visited this place on a recommendation from my friend JC and it lived up to all the hype! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was amazing and the service was top-notch. We tried two dishes – a delicious roll and a scrumptious soup – and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. My wife and I are already planning our next visit and can’t wait to try more items from the menu. Highly recommended!

This is my daughters favorite restaurant and it has become one of mine as well. The service has always been great, everyone is super friendly and attentive!! They’re super nice and care about their customers! The food is beyond fresh, large portions and delicious! I’ve had the edamame with salt and dirty, and dirty has become my favorite! Also the wings are delicious!!!

I’ve been wanting to try this place. The food was amazing. Crispy Chicken Volcano and Pad Thai. Service was excellent. They have levels of heat from 0-5. We chose 2 thinking we would get more heat on the side if needed but it was the perfect amount.

The 37 minutes one way drive from my hotel was well worth it as the food was fresh, unique (Laos Asian fusion) and delicious! The staff was very friendly, attentive and fast service. The co-owners, Praditt and his brother greeted and chatted with me, even genuinely interested in my honest constructive feedback on the R&S salad. I didn’t have much as the dish was delicious with plenty of fresh tuna, hamachi and salmon – well worth the price so don’t let that deter you! I even ordered the Tipsy noodles with chicken to go for today’s lunch. It is quite yummy cold as well warmed up. Praditt was spot on about the noodles not being hardened upon warm up (or next day leftovers) when I asked which was better as leftovers between the fried rice and Tipsy noodles. (By the way, this dish is similar to the Thai dish spicy drunken noodles “pak kee mao” except it’s the Laos version.)
