This small restaurant presents just the right mixture of authentic Japanese cuisine and American style dining.  There is ample seating along the windows and dining room, and a full bar with flat screen televisions that runs across the length of the dining room. Great for a date night, or just being out with friends or family, Origami is a great place to frequent.  The staff is friendly, the bar is stocked, and the food is worth the wait.

I love the menu at Origami as it has pictures of every dish they serve, so there is no guess work in what your food will look like or what ingredients will be included. I ordered the “Scorched Earth”, a cooked roll with salmon and asparagus.  The kicker is the assortment of fish and seafood in a spicy mayonnaise on top, flame cooked sort of like how a crème brulee is prepared.  The combination made the roll delicious. This is not the typical sushi spot, as the rolls are unusually large so there would be no need to order several like you might do at your local place.  The appetizers are tasty, and there is a wide variety of premium sake to choose from, or you may order the usually available Sho Chiku Bai hot sake.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a change in their usual sushi experience. With speedy service and television entertainment, this restaurant is even a great place to go alone as you will not be disappointed. Located in a small plaza on the north side of Waters Avenue in northwest Tampa, Origami Sushi is a well kept secret that needs to be told.
