Late Night Izakaya at Tori Bar in Tampa

I’m such a fan of this late-night izakaya with no frills sushi and Japanese small plates in Tampa! The owners of the much-loved Izakaya Tori in South Tampa are behind Tori Bar in Hyde Park, located along the same strip as Oxford Exchange.

Favorite dishes from Izakaya Tori are featured on their menu, like Mentaiko Fries, Shiso Rangoon and Chilean Sea Bass Skewers, but they also have plates unique to their new concept, which we absolutely love. Tori Bar has a full liquor license, so in addition to beer and sake, they also offer Japanese spirits and thoughtful cocktails. And if you’re like me and don’t drink, they do have mocktails!

Hokkaido Scallop Truffle Carpaccio: Scallops, truffle paste, ikura, soy dashi

Steak Tataki: Seared New York strip, garlic soy, wasabi aioli

Spicy Salmon Hand Roll and Yellowtail & Jalapeno Hand Roll

Uni (Sea Urchin) Hand Roll

Duck Breast Skewer
