Unique spot in Tampa for Asian food. Hidden gem

We are fortunate to have Chanko in our neighborhood. Its a great take out spot on my way home from work or fun to eat in with friends. I've tried a lot on their menu and it's all been great. Recently I had beef & rice with a spicy sauce and it was maybe one of the best things I've ever eaten. The beef was so tender and flavorful; I couldn't stop eating it...sorry - gone before I thought about getting a photo :-)

What an absolutely incredible find, Seminole Heights never disappoints when it comes to food. The atmosphere of Chanko reminds me of my favorite restaurant, Japanese food with an American diner style. Okonomiyaki has been on my radar for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to try it. The bowl was incredible and so flavorful, I got it with chicken katsu which added some needed texture. I couldn’t get enough of the egg and noodles, I savored every bite, highly recommend. The katsu is so crisp even when doused with sauce. Everything here is self serve, simply order on the touch screens and sit and enjoy the ambiance. I haven’t had anything like this before and it’s such a treasure and I cannot wait to come back and have it again.

They’re lucky to have something like this in Tampa. The only thing older than me was the building itself. I say that because I’m not naturally very fond of electronic menus. But this was the exception of the rule. Great photography, easy menu to add things that you wanted. I had a shrimp as the protein, I’m incredibly critical of fresh seafood in Florida because I’ve lived here all my life. The shrimp is fresh. The texture was perfect . My dish, not only had all different taste blended together, which made it a great experience. I found out later on it was healthy. i’ll definitely be back again. I can see why my friends recommended it.

Chanko is still on my mind. The restaurant resembles an old-style diner, and you order your food at touchscreens before seating yourself. This makes the process quick and straightforward. You choose your base and protein, similar to building a bowl. The food was incredibly good, surpassing my expectations. I will definitely return!

The atmosphere is so cool and it’s like you’re in a little train cart. The food was so good that I learned to make the curry at home. Of course it didn’t taste as good as the restaurant. My friends and I are planning a visit to Tampa JUST to try this restaurant again!!!!

Inside is dope. Small little old school diner with a Japanese interior. Usually go for the pork belly on noodle/rice or the okonomiyaki with pork belly. Service is fast. Tons of sake, but I like the little watermelon soda. You can sit in the same booth that Elvis sat in if you find the plaque.

My first ever Okonomiyaki was a memorable one. It was a delicious explosion of different textures and flavors in the perfect amounts. All of the food was extremely good, but the pork belly is the way to go. Get the pork belly. Don’t get the fried chicken pre sauced. It’s a cool little spot with chill vibes, order yourself and they call out your name when it’s ready. They focus on the food and it shows.

I had the curry with Katsu chicken. The food is really good, I got a drink too and it was about $20 if you include a tip. I tried some of my friend’s plate and it was also excellent. You order on a monitor ( one or two of the monitors don’t work properly only con) and the seating/ inside is very minimal/ basic. The parking was fine but it was definitely a bit scarce so you may or may not be able to park easily. Overall, solid place with very good food.

They have huge portions. The older people in my group had trouble using their POS system to order, as they don't have counter service. But I think this is smart for cutting food and labor costs. It has a funky atmosphere and options for vegetarians and vegans.

Amazing place to go for any occasion awesome food that absolutely shocked me, its completely self serve so you go to the screen order your food, pay there, and they will call you when your food is ready which I personally enjoy but it might not be to others taste. The atmosphere is so unique with Japanese music playing in the background with this diner feel to it i absolutely loved it. My only gripe with this restaurant and the reason i'm not giving it 5 stars are the seating my god is the seating the worst, super tight and jampact with as many tables as they could fit which made seating during busy hours a nightmare I literally had to ask the person sitting behind me to leave there seat in order to get out of my own that's how tight it was so if they could fix this issue it would be 5 stars for me no questions asked. Basically what im saying is this is one of the best Japanese restaurants i have been to and if you can get past the horrible seating or eat out its one of my favorite restaurants of all time.

This was my first time here and I ordered the katsu curry w/ vegs and the karaage with chanko sauce & a drink. Service (10/10): The service in this place is great! The staff here are all eager to help and serve you anyway they can which is really great for people coming for the first time. The way you order is on a kiosk and you pay first and you can sit where ever you want. Although it is in a diner it doesn’t run like one, but thats fine. The food is served in disposable containers in order to help clean as opposed to plates and metal utensils. The wait time for food was not long at all so its ideal for dine in or take out whichever you prefer. Katsu Curry w/ Veg (10/10): This was about as good as it gets tbh. The dish comes with rice, eggs, & japanese pickles (which can be swapped out, i took off the pickles) and your choice of protein as well. The w/ veg option adds carrots, potatoes, & onions (cannot modify). I dont eat onions but was unable to take it off as the veg comes mixed together so all veg or no veg. I opted for w/ veg and just took off the onions on my on. I wont knock off any points as this is more of a me problem rather than the restaurant. But all of this together was deliciousness with every bite. Karaage w/ chanko sauce (7.8/10): For those that don’t know Karaage is fried chicken (typically the thigh). I liked the karaage here a lot and the chanko sauce gives it a nice tangy yet slightly sweet taste. I would love to try other sauces to see what I like the best. Overall: I honestly don’t have many complaints. Food is good, customer service good & the price for the amount of food you get isn’t bad at all (you definitely get a good amount of food). If you have a taste for some Japanese food outside or ramen or sushi I highly recommend checking this spot out as I will definitely be returning to try their okonomiyaki as well as other dishes.

Okonomiyaki! As authentic as it gets. I spent 3 years in Iwakuni, which is just southwest of Hiroshima. The flavor is spot on! Not Kansi style, but actual layered Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki! The place doesn't have the cooktop tables like Japan, but that's likely an American insurance issue, other than that it's a great experience. Really hard to find good Okonomiyaki but this place is on point. Don't hesitate, make the trip.

Unimpressive ramen noodle type cuisine, clean restaurant, self-service, reasonably priced. You place your order via touchscreen and pick up at the counter. The food was served hot and with good presentation. However, the taste and quality were fair. This restaurant seems to cater to millennials who grew up eating ramen noodles in college, and who now seek a slight upgrade. Although, the texture on some of the dishes were interesting. Most of the flavor that you do taste are salt, pepper, and sugar; with not much flavor coming from the food itself. The restaurant appears to be a refurbished antique diner (Denny's), which has an art deco / Japanese ainme theme. Recommend that you sit at the counter. The booths between the ordering terminals and cashier gets crowded and stuffy. Overall, an unimpressive and disappointing meal.

Unusual enough to make one smile, caters to a young adult clientele. Red-paneled rail car diner with Japanese hip-hop specializing in okonomiyaki- but Hiroshima chop shop style. Not the chopped and cooked round Kyoto classic, but a pile of fried egg, crepe, bean sprouts, cabbage, shrimp, and stir fried ramen in a plastic pie plate, with the traditional flavor and easily enough for two hungry older adults . (Think Oklahoma taco salad “stack” in Japanese. A solid choice in a dismal 5 square mile fast food desert.

Chanko offers the savory flavors of Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki (with yakisoba noodles), Japanese Curry, and Katsu in the heart of Florida. This casual dining spot provides a self-service experience with kiosk ordering and a kitschy, Japanese-themed atmosphere. The repurposed diner setting effectively mimics a small Japanese chop-chop shop, adding to the overall charm. Pros: -Variety of Selections: Chanko's menu features a solid variety of Japanese dishes, ensuring there's something for everyone. Diners can customize their entrees by mixing bases, proteins, and other additions to suit their tastes. -Beverage Choices: A good selection of beer, sake, and non-alcoholic beverages complements the dishes. -Flavorful Dishes: The Okonomiyaki, Japanese Curry, and Katsu are particularly flavorful and well-prepared. -Portion Sizes: The portions are generous, providing fair value for money. -Unique Atmosphere: The kitschy, Japanese-themed decor and the repurposed diner setting create a nostalgic dining experience reminiscent of a small Japanese chop chop shop. -Good Parking: The restaurant offers good parking options, which is a plus for the Seminole Heights area. -Background Music: The eclectic, world-spanning background music adds to the unique dining atmosphere. Cons: -Pricey: The restaurant is a bit pricey for a no-table service establishment. (For us, $43: 2 entrees, 2 canned waters, 1 beer and tip). -Heat Issues: As it's housed in a metal building, the heat can be an issue during the Florida summer. The open window kitchen probably contributes to the cooling challenges. -Cleanliness: While the atmosphere is interesting, the place could use a deep cleaning. The water from the soda dispenser tasted funny, and there were flies in the dining area. -Kiosk-Only Ordering: The kiosk-only ordering process could be a turnoff for diners who want or need traditional table service. Overall, Chanko is a good spot for those looking to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors in a casual setting. Just be prepared for the summer heat and a slightly higher bill than expected. Definitions (I had to research these meanings myself!): Okonomiyaki: A savory Japanese pancake made with a variety of ingredients, including cabbage, meat, and seafood, topped with a special sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes. Japanese Curry: A thick and mildly spiced curry sauce served over rice, often accompanied by meat or vegetables. Katsu: A Japanese dish consisting of a breaded and deep-fried cutlet, typically pork (tonkatsu) or chicken (chicken katsu), served with a side of rice and sometimes curry.

My son and I tried the rice plates; he had the pork belly, and I had the grilled chicken. We both got it with the Spicy Chanko sauce. Delicious. Large portion of chicken thigh meat (I could only eat half) served with an outstanding Asian slaw with poblano peppers. You order on a screen and pick it up at the counter. Served in plastic to go containers. We also tried 2 different melon sodas, which were both delicious. I will definitely return.

We were visiting the zoo, my kid wanted Chinese food, but I didn't.... I found this place on Google and we decided to give it a try.... Good service, fast service and delicious food. She's all about Japan and introducing her to their culture of food. She already asked if we could come here again when we go to the zoo/aquarium.... It's was a 5⭐ review from here as well as me. We will be back. Well back again, this time she talked me into dinner while we visited the aquarium. Just as good as last time..... This time "I"tried the cantaloupe soda, and she the chupa chups (strawberry and cream sparkling soda)....well let's just say, mom didn't get no soda...LoL Cantaloupe for the win.

Stopped by here to grab a bite, and man was the food delicious! There’s a convenient way to order food from a digital kiosk up front, alternatively if it not mistaken you can have someone serve you.

Maybe take it off the menu if it can't even be served the traditional way. Just some food for thought. Overall though, it was a truly tasty and trendy experience. 10/10 would recommend🙌

One of the best Tampa places I’ve tried in a while. Super fast service and large portions. The house sauce is the best sauce I’ve ever had. The Japanese pickles are amazing. I also love the vibes of the place and the robotic music.
