Tradition with A Twist
Innovation and ingredients are what sets us apart – Behind our carefully crafted menu stands a team of highly trained Chefs who have skillfully modernized traditional Asian dishes, revolutionizing the landscape of contemporary Asian cuisine. We've taken great care in sourcing ingredients of the highest quality, prioritizing authentic flavors. Deliveries from Tokyo’s Toyosu Market ensures the freshest and most authentic fish, allowing for the preservation of distinct flavors in traditional dishes.
Every detail, from sourcing to presentation, is considered, because at Ro, the story is served at the table.
A Space Designed to Transport
Enveloped by a vibrant and luxurious atmosphere, the architectural details of Ro create a unique and transformative space. From the grand barrel-vaulted ceiling to the colorful abstract mural by renowned muralist Alex Proba, the room is timeless yet modern, one of the most distinctive restaurant interiors in Tampa and a backdrop worthy of the food it frames.
Sourced from Toyosu, Rooted in Southeast Asia
Every dish at Ro begins with sourcing. Our fish arrives from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, successor to the legendary Tsukiji and the most respected seafood market in the world, ensuring the freshest bluefin, chutoro and seasonal selections at the sushi bar. It is a standard few restaurants in Tampa can claim.
Beyond the sushi bar, key ingredients are hand-selected from across the Southeast Asian region, chosen for quality and authentic flavor, so our guests experience the real thing without having to travel for it.
Immersive, Tableside Dining
Most dishes and cocktails at Ro are finished tableside through creative and sophisticated presentation, giving guests an immersive experience beyond the tantalizing taste. Guests take an active role in their dining, transported into the world we've cultivated.
It's the philosophy behind our smoked Peking duck, aged three days and carved tableside, and the chef-curated omakase dinners on our events calendar. At Ro, presentation isn't a flourish. It's the point.
Omotenashi
To wholeheartedly look after one's guest. Deeply rooted in Japanese culture, omotenashi is the value of providing a personalized, exceptional experience, anticipating what a guest needs before they ask. It is a philosophy that Ro embodies, and it permeates through all that we do.
