Ajisai 3

Japanese restaurant ★4.0 (773)·US$20–30

2101 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33612, USA

4.0
We finally stopped by to dine here. We went for the lunch special and made it just when they opened so there was no wait for a table. Service from our server Kelsey was excellent! Being our first time dining here we asked for recommendations and Kelsey recommended both the Yummy Roll and Mexican Roll. We absolutely loved these two rolls and they were our favorite from the other 4 rolls we tried. Our least favorite were the deep fried rolls, the Dynamite and the Godzilla. We weren’t crazy about the Passion roll. The crab Rangoon were okay. If I was to go back I’d probably make multiple orders of the Mexican and the Yummy rolls. Those two rolls were perfection! The restaurant is clean and beautiful! The staff is very attentive and welcoming. Overall a great dining experience. - B.Scarlett

Ajisai 3 Introduce

In the vibrant culinary scene of Tampa, Florida, discerning diners are constantly seeking establishments that offer not just a meal, but a memorable experience. For those with a penchant for Japanese cuisine, Ajisai 3 emerges as a compelling choice, blending an inviting atmosphere with a diverse and delectable menu. Located at 2101 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33612, Ajisai 3 aims to provide a comprehensive Japanese dining experience, from its aesthetic appeal to its culinary offerings.

Operating within the context of a "Doctor Near Me" platform category, Ajisai 3, while not a medical service, can be perceived as a provider of 'culinary therapy' or 'nutritional well-being.' Just as one seeks a trusted doctor for physical ailments, Ajisai 3 offers a satisfying remedy for gastronomic cravings and a chance to unwind and replenish. The emphasis on a clean and beautiful environment, coupled with attentive service and fresh food, aligns with the broader idea of seeking out places that contribute positively to one's overall well-being. It’s a place where one can 'treat' themselves to a delightful meal, fostering a sense of contentment and relaxation.

One of the most striking features of Ajisai 3, as highlighted by customer reviews, is its interior environment. While its exterior may appear unassuming, stepping inside reveals a space that is described as "gorgeous," featuring "many photo ops, large LED walls, and cute decor." This attention to aesthetic detail creates an immersive and visually appealing dining atmosphere, setting it apart from more conventional Japanese eateries. The clean and beautiful presentation extends beyond the decor to the food itself, with patrons praising the "food presentation and taste." This dedication to both the visual and gustatory aspects of dining contributes significantly to the overall positive experience at Ajisai 3, making it an ideal setting for various occasions, from casual lunches to more celebratory dinners.

The culinary offerings at Ajisai 3 are extensive, focusing primarily on sushi, but also incorporating other Japanese favorites. A standout feature, and one frequently mentioned by customers, is their "all-you-can-eat" option. This allows diners to explore a wide variety of dishes without the constraints of ordering individual items, providing excellent value and the opportunity to sample a diverse range of flavors. While some patrons opt to order "a la carte," the buffet style is a popular choice, indicating its strong appeal. This flexibility caters to different dining preferences and appetites.

Among the sushi selections, certain rolls have garnered exceptional praise. For instance, the "Yummy Roll" and "Mexican Roll" were enthusiastically recommended by a server and subsequently adored by a first-time diner, who declared them "perfection" and their "favorite from the other 4 rolls we tried." This suggests that Ajisai 3 excels in crafting innovative and flavorful sushi creations that resonate deeply with customers. While some deep-fried rolls like the "Dynamite" and "Godzilla," and the "Passion roll," received less enthusiastic feedback from one reviewer, this highlights the subjective nature of taste and the sheer variety available, ensuring there's something for everyone.

The service at Ajisai 3 receives mixed, yet generally positive, feedback. Many customers commend the staff for being "very attentive and welcoming," contributing to an "overall a great dining experience." For instance, a server named Kelsey was specifically lauded for her "excellent" service and helpful recommendations for new diners. This level of personalized and friendly service is a significant asset, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for guests. However, some reviews indicate occasional inconsistencies, particularly with newer or in-training staff. One review noted a server who "lacked follow-ups, and there was a point we had to get a different server to help track her down. She also kept forgetting the items we had ordered." While such experiences can be frustrating, they appear to be less common and potentially indicative of training in progress rather than a systemic issue. The presence of attentive and experienced staff, as seen with Kelsey, suggests a commitment to good service overall.

In terms of pricing, Ajisai 3 appears to offer good value for the quality and variety of food provided. Reviews suggest that "Everything, in my opinion, was reasonably priced," especially considering the all-you-can-eat option. This makes it an attractive destination for both individual diners and groups looking for a satisfying and affordable Japanese meal. The combination of reasonable prices and excellent food presentation further enhances its appeal.

While specific, time-limited promotional offers are not detailed in the provided information, the very nature of their all-you-can-eat model serves as a continuous promotion, offering excellent value. The lunch special, as mentioned by a reviewer who arrived "just when they opened," suggests that there are specific times or offerings that provide an even greater advantage for diners. For the most current and specific promotional information, including details about any lunch specials or other deals, potential customers are encouraged to contact Ajisai 3 directly via phone at (813) 898-0203 or +1 813-898-0203. Arriving early for lunch, as one reviewer did, seems to be a good strategy to secure a table and perhaps take advantage of specific lunch-hour pricing.

To summarize, Ajisai 3 in Tampa stands out as a Japanese restaurant that offers a visually appealing and generally satisfying dining experience. Its "gorgeous" interior, diverse all-you-can-eat sushi menu with standout rolls like the Yummy and Mexican, and largely attentive service contribute to its positive reputation. While minor inconsistencies in service can occur, the overall sentiment points to a welcoming environment and excellent food presentation at reasonable prices. For anyone in the Tampa area seeking a delightful Japanese meal, whether it's for the all-you-can-eat experience or a la carte favorites, Ajisai 3 presents itself as a compelling and well-regarded option, fulfilling a certain 'culinary need' akin to the 'Doctor Near Me' concept.
