Definitely not Japanese or a traditional shoyu ramen. Way too much sesame oil. The meat wasn't marinated properly and neither was the egg, which was over cooked... Basically a hard boiled egg. (Free recipe advice straight from mom: Just boil the eggs for six minutes, peel and then marinate overnight in a ziplock bag with mirin, soy sauce, some sugar and sake... it's pretty easy.) Unfortunately, the noodles didn't taste fresh. I suppose they're taking shortcuts on the important things and using a lot of sesame oil to add some flavor rather than taking the time to make a real ramen. We didn't finish the meal. The waitress was pretty amazing though. She was a total joy, super professional and efficient, which is why they get two stars instead of one.

Really a great place to eat, food is always beautiful, Lisa is friendly and helpful. Prices are up there but well worth it for the quality. If you want quality food you have to pay these days, but you get what you pay for.

Great service from the first minute we came in! We had the Pho and the Ramen Shoyu. While the Pho is very good, the Ramen is excellent! The broth is very rich and soooo tasty!! The Asahi and Kirin beers are cold and priced moderately. The one thing to remember is that they close at 6pm; hopefully they will start staying open a little later. This location is easily accessible from the beach at the county owned parking lot across from Dolphin Village.

BEST Asian spot in St Pete. Generous portions, incredible flavor, and kind staff!!!!

The food was so fresh and tasted amazing! Wish I had knew of this gem before! And the service was exceptional;)

Loved the experience of dining at Yaki-Mono. Our server Lisa was fabulous! She made us feel right at home. The good was spectacular!

What a wonderful experience. We have search far and wide in multiple states for the best and most flavorful Japanese dishes and pho soup. The flavors are deep and rich. It is obvious that the chef has layered them in duplicity and expresses himself in distinguished taste. We ordered shrimp, tempura, pho, soup, hibachi, shrimp, dinner, salmon, salad, and more. We visit Japanese restaurants all over the country, and this is easily the best. The server was lovely. They atmosphere perfect. Every bite was an eclectic journey. As far as food on Saint Pete goes, or even in the Saint Petersburg general area, this is a clear winner The only downside would be the hours of operation closing at 6 PM. I would strongly urge management to consider opening later and staying open later, to serve the public coming off the beach.

Absolutely amazing! Service was great. The food was out of this world. I ordered a poke bowl (the tuna was vibrant, and tasted so fresh), and also ordered a lunch box. The sashimi was so good and filling with a good ratio of fish to rice. The edemame was perfectly salty and delicious. Overall amazing food, service, and a great atmosphere.

An absolutely must go to spot if you’re in the St Pete Beach area. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere was amazing! You tasted every seasoning with each bite. Love that it is a family-owned restaurant you can feel their warmth in the space. Don’t hesitate, MUST go!!

Amazing service with spectacular pho and ramen shoyu. The ramen contained fresh Thai chilis from their own garden. Same with the basil in the pho. All extras and sauces were provided on the side to add to our taste. Cute, intimate interior. Only a four min walk from Bon Aire Resort. Will be returning for lunch next year. 10/10.
