Japanese Steakhouse?

[Serbonze]

Can anyone recommend a good Japanese steakhouse in the Tampa area? My wife really wanted to go to Arigato's for her birthday, but they are still closed due to the fire.

I found their website and found that they have two other locations, but was looking for something in Tampa. Thanks!

Wasabi's in New Tampa

Sushi Tsu in New Tampa (next to Peabodys)
I think that place BY FAR blows Arigato's out of the water...

I've been there, probably one of the worst places I have been to.

Sushi Tsu!? Seriously? They are alright at best!

Kobes Steakhouse on dale mabry is awsome, I havent been to Wasabi yet but have heard good things...

:serious:
I have never had anything from there that was bad.
Kobe was so/so and Arigato's was crap....

i love both wasabi and Kobe's but if you are looking for a japanese staff go to kobe cuz most of the staff at wasabi is ....not quite japanese. lol

Wasabi in new tampa is the best...best quality. Sushi Tsu's is good also...more food...but not as good

What's it like living in the shadow of the Riverview antenna farm? Did you know that four of those antennas are among the tallest structures in the world? They're almost 1600 feet high...taller than the Sears Tower in Chicago. It's kinda freaky coming out of the restaurant and looking up and seeing those things towering over you.

[shinmei2006]

ya gotta be kiddin me lol, ive lived in boyette springs for 14 years and never thought they were that tall lol. where did you get this info?

According to my sectional (aviation map) the tallest is 1,574ft AGL. The Sears Tower itself is 1,451ft tall to the top floor, 1,730ft to the top of it's tower.

Exactly...the height of skyscrapers is generally noted as the height of their highest occupied floor. In the antenna farm, there are actually four masts in the 1575-foot (480 meter) range.

The list below is taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_structures_in_the_world and verified with the FCC ASR Website:

Viacom Tower Riverview 1,575 feet 480 m 1998 Guyed mast UHF/VHF-transmission U.S. Riverview, Florida 27°49′47.0″N, 82°15′58″W

Tampa Tower General Partnership Tower Riverview 1,573 feet 479.4 m 1987 Guyed mast UHF/VHF-transmission U.S. Riverview, Florida 27°50′33.0″N, 82°15′44″W

Riverview Florida West Coast Public Broadcasting Tower 1,572 feet 479.1 m 1999 Guyed mast UHF/VHF-transmission U.S. Riverview, Florida 27°50′51.5″N, 82°15′49.4″W

American Towers Tower Riverview 1,568 feet 478 m 2001 Guyed mast UHF/VHF-transmission U.S. Riverview, Florida 27°49′10.8″N, 82°15′38″W

Not the tallest, of course, but pretty freaking tall...I was actually surprised that they were that tall when I looked them up. The view from the top of one of those masts must be incredible...I'll bet you can see all the way to the Gulf on a clear day. 8)

holy shit lol

thats badass...we always thought it would hit our house if it collapsed...and at over a 1/4 mile high looks like it just may
