Chef Marcelo was outstanding and make sure that every detail was made extra special for us! What an incredible experience! Chef Marcelo delivered an unforgettable omakase journey, combining exceptional flavors, beautiful presentation, and remarkable attention to detail. Every course was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing his passion, creativity, and mastery of Japanese cuisine. The quality of the ingredients, the perfect balance of flavors, and the intimate atmosphere made the entire evening truly amazing . Chef Marcelo is incredibly talented, and his passion shines through every dish. A must-try experience for anyone who appreciates outstanding sushi and fine dining. Highly recommended!

Overall, I thought this restaurant was good, but I don’t think it was up to par with the Michelin service/food that’s usually expected. My friend and I are on the younger side and it was very obvious that we were being treated differently than some of the older people in the restaurant. We also were sitting in the middle of the restaurant, so my food was not coming out at the same time as my guest’s food, as we had separate chefs. The sushi was pretty solid, but I don’t think it was anything to rave about. What I did really enjoy was the duck and the Wagyu, which were the last two courses. If I were to do it over again, I would probably only get drinks and food at Tanto. We did not do the wine pairing, but had a bottle of wine. Our bill for 2 was $900.

Dined at Tanto and had an absolutely wonderful time. The service was stellar (Chuck, Tony C and Nick P). My friend and I were so pleased that we thanked every member of staff on duty. It was that good. The food was perfection and the drinks were beyond impressive.

There is no other dining experience in Tampa quite like Kosen. The meal and the experience are worth every penny. We went for my wife's birthday and they treated us like family. The omakase service requires a reservation and is amazing. We enjoyed the 13 course winter menu. The chef carefully craft each dish in front of you and they explain the dishes as well. We also had the sake and wine pairings which were phenomenal. They were also carefully selected for the courses and well detailed by the sommelier. They also have a separate bar that you can order some dishes from as well. This is a great choice for an celebration or just an awesome meal experience. Thank you Kosen crew!

My husband surprised me with the Winter Omakase for our anniversary. Honestly, it was better than our first omakase in Japan! The menu was curated by Chef Andrew Huang and incorporated different flavors from different cultures. I did the zero alcohol pairing and Mike did the normal version. Each drink was curated to pair perfectly with what we ate. Chef Andrew was amazing he would tell us about the dishes and the ingredients used. I fell in love with the uni (sea urchin) in Japan. Chef Andrew recommended the caviar instead. His recommendation was spot on! The caviar blew my mind I am now converted. I understand now! I highly recommend the experience! We can't wait to come back to try the new menus!
