| Reviews: | "Located upstairs at Centro Ybor, an outdoor mall in the heart of Ybor City. Samurai Blue is certainly the best sushi in Ybor and probably the best in Tampa. The only thing that outshines the taste is the presentation of the sushi rolls which is unmatched. There are no less than 42 rolls listed on the menu! Outside of Florida I doubt you will see grouper as an ingredient in a roll. Decor is hip. Usually very crowded unless you go off hours. If the sushi bar is packed, sit at the regular bar for an equally good time. Excellent saki selection and they have a great wine-by-the-glass selection. www.samuraiblue.com" |
