Ro Hyde Park - (Near Tampa, FL)

5 /5 Thomas Anastasio: We were looking for a unique brunch experience and Ro did not disappoint. All the food we ordered was exceptional and the Japanese Philly cheese steak was one of the best cheese steaks I have eaten! And I highly recommend ordering a side of the spiced bacon which was phenomenal. Our waiter Joe, was super helpful and provided amazing service! Someone at our table had a slight gluten intolerance and Joe and the kitchen was extremely helpful and giving us all possible options. And then the complimentary apple crumb ice cream was the cherry on top. If you are looking for a unique brunch experience, different than your normal American breakfast, there is no better option than Ro.

1 /5 joanne ciornei: We went for lunch on a Sat at 11:30, hostess and server were very nice. The inside of the restaurant has a good layout and fun vibes but unfortunately that was it. The quailty of the food and drinks did not meet the price point or what was described on the website. We were very disappointed when we werent allowed to order from the whole lunch menu at lunch, our server said the restaurant only allows the brunch, sushi bar, and partial lunch menu. Our poor server had too many tables and couldnt give us much attention, wanted to order a 2nd cocktail but she never made it around. Also, they had a couple of items not available on the menu, then we had to ask for cutlery, soy sauce for our sushi, and ketchup for our fries, I understand these might sound like small nick picky things but when you have a $35 Luxe handroll and $17 and up cocktails on the menu, we want the service and quality to match. Presentation of food looked like diner food at best, even the complimentary Ube ice cream at the end was a nice touch, but it was served in a paper cup with one of those throw away wooden spoons, could have been in a small ramekin with a cute ceramic spoon of some sort. Over all, we were sadly disappointed. Great location and inside looks cool but wouldnt reccomend until they can get the quality of food up to par.

5 /5 Noah Ward: This is a fantastic place for lunch! Have been here several times now and when I am in the Hyde Park area are lunch I will stop in for some sushi. Love the presentations they give here! The appetizers are really good, can’t go wrong with any sushi roll and then the ice cream for dessert is a nice way to finish off the meal. High recommend ⭐️

5 /5 Delaney Anderson-Dunlop: Let me first say that we have frequented Ro for brunch for monthssssss. We had some issues during this visit but all issues were resolved by our server who was awesome and doing above and beyond her job. Going during brunch is such a good way to try out this restaurant without paying the large price tag of a dinner. What we love most about Ro is that we can always walk in and get a table (for 2), the vibes are amazing because it is the most gorgeously designed restaurant and they always have the best music (helloooooooo 00s R&B). When things are done as expected, you should receive a nice little hot rehydrated hand towel to clean your hands before beginning your meal. This time we did not but it was due to being short-staffed. Once we brought it to the attention of our server, she immediately fixed it and brought the towels over for us. We also had some issues with the way our food came out, in that the nigiri came out at the same time as our whole meal. We were missing soy sauce and our utensils (other than chopsticks) so we couldnt eat either the nigiri or the meal we ordered. It then took us a good 10 minutes to get our servers attention because again she was literally serving the entire room herself. Brought it up to her and she offered to reheat/refire our food since we waited so long, brought the items we were missing, and also offered an additional glass of champagne to make up for the issues. Again, this is not normally our experience and she did her best to make it right. Now, lets get to the food. Their nigiri is always amazinggggg and reasonably priced. I like that you can either get 1 or 2 pieces and arent locked into either option. For our entrees, I got the Bulgogi Skirt Steak and Eggs and my wife got the Spicy Karaage. We were both very surprised by the presentation of the Spicy Karaage because when ordering Karaage at any other restaurant, its usually fried tiny pieces of chicken. This came with an entire chicken leg on the top. It was super strange and my wife did not eat that. It just doesnt make sense when you serve boneless chicken with bone-in chicken. Outside of the presentation, the flavor was great and the serving size was generous. We had to take some home. My dish was absolutely delicious. No notes. Oh and dont let me forget that you never have to pay for dessert here! They ALWAYS give you free soft serve at the end that is some awesome new flavor they created that day/week. That day, we got Ube soft serve with Biscoff crumble on top. We will always be back and excited to see what new items they bring to the menu!

5 /5 alberto rodriguez: Picked this place to celebrate my wifes birthday. Boy are we glad we did. We were seated promptly, our waitress was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She gave us excellent recommendations and made sure our food and drinks came out promptly. The food was some of the best asian fusion weve ever had. Everything was well presented and delicious. Highly recommend.
