    Speaking specifically to the sushi and the crab Rangoon (maybe my favorite app of all time) Samurai Blue has got to be the most reliable sushi spot in Ybor. I have never been to the other location in Carrolwood. Now sushi comes on a spectrum. You got your $20 AYCE sushi bars bring bottom barrel sushi, but Samurai Blue is nothing like this. It brings honor to the Samurai name with some world class specialty rolls, my favorite being the dragon. Rice light and appropriately sticky. Sashimi and seafood cooked and raw neither of which brings a not pleasant pungent odor, and a myriad of dipping sauces if you desire/do not like sushi as much as you told your date that you did. SB is truly an ideal date spot. Full bar with mood lighting and intimate booth style seating tucked away above the lively Ybor streets providing a full scale of entertainment after the meal. Service on my visits was standard, but the food is what has kept me coming back.

    Ordered from Samurai Blue via DoorDash. The food came fresh & delicious. I have been to Samurai Blue in person before and had a great experience, but was feeling a bit lazy and wanted to order take out. Their crispy spicy tuna is a must have.

    Super yummy and super fresh sushi!! Parking is a bit tough-have to park in garage and walk through Ybor City. Service was great and had super attentive servers! Not badly priced at all for sushi either. Great meet up in Tampa

    One of the best sushi places in Tampa! The prices are fair and the sushi is actually good! Honestly, it was AMAZING. I love the moody vibes. The staff is great and the food came out fast. They prefer you pay with a card or cash. They have Tap/Apple Pay but it doesn't always work.
