This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Traffic in Tampa peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved Tori Bar! The food was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cocktails were a 10/10 🍸✨, perfectly made and so good! The atmosphere was one of my favorite parts. It’s stylish, vibrant, and has such a great vibe whether you’re going for dinner or just drinks with friends. The service was also excellent—everyone was friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend! ❤️

Great happy hour vibe, great energy and ambiance. Japanese treats tapas style with tuna and salmon hand rolls and skewers of braised pork belly, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini. The cucumber salad serves as a perfect central item with everything around it. If anything, they could provide more food on their skewer offerings. Billy and team do it all with neighborhood style excellent personal service.

I've barely scratched the surface at this location and the food is so delicious! The vibe is different depending on where you sit, but it's always GOOD VIBES ONLY! I love it in here so much to look at, so many spaces to sit and be creative, romantic, professional, party, or just casual. Do bring your ear buds if you're playing to use your phone because this is a live spot with laughter and cheer and conversations all around you depending on where you're seated. You can be dressy, casual or just chill and still feel comfortable here. It's LGBTQIA friendly, and they do offer a happy hour. I travel 30-45 minutes to dine in here and it's always worth the ride; ALWAYS!

Came to Tori Bar for Happy Hour Friday night! Absolutely loved it! The place was very busy, so if you plan to come for happy hour on a Friday or Saturday definitely come early. It runs 4-6 M-Sat. We got a seat at the bar thankfully and opted for their happy house lychee highball which was $10. I sucked it down it was so good! Placed an order for the spicy tuna hand roll, the fries, Chicken Thigh with Scallion and Japanese sausage skewers, and the chicken Karaage. The handroll came out within just a few minutes. The fish was so fresh and delicious. Later on we ordered the Tekka Don (raw) which was raw tuna over rice. The tuna was so fresh and delicious. Even my date, who doesn’t like sushi, tried so and was impressed! Definitely give Tori bar a try for regular or late night happy hour, or really just any time for some delicious Asian inspired small plates and hand rolls.

Sophisticated, Modern, lively Japanese gastropub is a Sushi Lovers Heaven. I am absolutely speechless and a loss for words while still savoring the fresh, delicious and tasty food we just experienced. The sushi and sashmi were so fresh like "butter", the tuna, salmon, lump crab, yellowtail and Jalapeño scallops, octopus, Wagyu, rib eye steak, tapas, duck, all amazing, pork belly, lamb lollipops, scallops, Chilean seabass, the craft cocktails, best margaritas , and Cream Brulee which normally is not my go to but loved. We went a little over board because the Sous Chef is a culinary rock star! Wow everything was perfection including our outstanding server Monica whom we will request next time. She already pointed out some more favorites we should try next time. I am blown away and incredibly impressed. Wow! This is my new favorite restaurant.
