About Chanko

Chanko is now open 7 days per week! Visit the only Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, katsu, and Japanese curry shop in Florida set in a 50’s diner with retro Japan-American vibes.

Chanko is a japanese in Tampa, Florida. It is listed at 4603 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33603, which places it among the local businesses of Tampa that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

Hours are published for 2 days a week. Typical hours are 11:30 AM–10 PM. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (813) 770-7306. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is chanko-ichiban.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.7 out of 5 on Google across 1,565 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded japanese & sushi in Tampa.

Tampa is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Tampa follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

This is a self-serve restaurant with seats but there is no table service. I loved the vibes, definitely feels like your transported to a diner in a Tokyo neighborhood. I have never had OKONOMIYAKI before but wow it was amazing. Definitely a unique flavor and paired with the mayo and pasta it was delightful. Their portions are massive so I had enough food for dinner and lunch the next day.

All right, so finally I get to try this restaurant when you first come in there’s some monitors where you can order the food. They don’t have a someone hosting you when you come in. They don’t have someone there helping you so if you’re shy☺️, you just go straight to the monitor read and then choose and peak as this year you can or your taste cause it took me a second just to figure it out what to order here and I got OKONOMIYAKI MIYAGIJapanese pickles, wasabi peas, and Japanese mayo and it was really good. I’m not a wasabi fan however it was really good and the portion it was a good portion. The restaurant itself. It looks like antique vintage style well I order from here again definitely yes I did like it. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

A new place for me, maybe new digs for this business but a very old structure that has the diner look and vibe. The menu is mostly Japanese/Korean but that and the decor is where Asian stops. The rest has a very old American vibe. While alot of painting and touch-ups have taken place, I see dust of ancient times in bathroom corners and the wear and tear of by gone days on the floor. The place however seems to be kept as clean as possible, still shines and gleams in many places and has a comfortable and laid back atmosphere. Weathered picnic tables outside for outdoor dining. A very helpful and friendly staff. Kiosk ordering with prepay only option and plenty of free parking to the side. I ordered a side of Chicken Karage, sauce on the side. Also a side of Pork Belly, sauce on the side. Then I also tried something new for me, Okonomiyaki Myagi Style which in addition to the traditional list of items also had japanese pickles, wasabi peas and japanese mayo. It contains yakisoba noodles, crepe, fried egg, leeks, cabbage bean sprouts, furikake, seaweed, tempura crisps and "oki" sauce. A complex dish with surprising flavors that melded well together in a pleasing unity. A variety of t

Found this spot through Tampa Bites and Sites on TikTok and had to check it out definitely lived up to the hype. The food was packed with flavor, super fresh, and felt really authentic. Service was friendly and the vibe made it even better. Always love discovering places like this… Tampa’s got some hidden gems πŸ”₯

Don’t let the kind of rough neighborhood scare you away. It’s a very delicious Japanese restaurant with some of the best curry in town. You quickly figure out why everything comes in a takeout container as the portions are massive. Every dish is basically two meals! Definitely hits good when you’re hungry. This will be one of my favorite spots quickly. Highly recommend!
