Sushi Sho Rexley
If you’re an adventurous foodie looking for a uniquely memorable dining experience, Sushi Sho Rexley in downtown St. Pete should most definitely be on your “to dine” list – even more so, now that it has been recognized by the MICHELIN Guide.
Dining Omakase-style literally means “I’ll leave it up to you,” trusting the chef to create fresh and delicious courses, in a very intimate setting. There is no menu, just two different Omakase experiences at individual price points. Sake pairings are available to enhance your meal.
The restaurant accommodates only 10 diners at a time, so that each person can interact with the chef and truly appreciate the delicacy, preparation, and beautiful ceremony that comes with each bite. As much an art as it is a meal, it’s important for diners to come with an open mind, and to be on time for their reservation.
Master Sushi Chef, Rexley Kwok, was trained many years ago by a famous and talented Master Sushi Chef named Hiro Ida San. Since that time, taking sushi to a higher level has been Kwok’s life-long passion, and he has served mouthwatering sushi and delicacies in this area since 1999. Sushi Sho Rexley is born of this excitement and dedication to push the boundaries in the U.S. about what it means to “go out for sushi.”

What Visitors Love
This was so lovely. My husband was super late because there was some kind of event in downtown St. Pete. So I would tell anyone who's trying to come here to figure out parking beforehand. But the staff was so polite and completely understanding - they even reserved the two dishes he missed so he could enjoy them afterwards, and the food (and sake pairing) was out of this world. Definitely an amazing experience and if my wallet allows it, I would love to go back!
The ultimate date night experience! Went here for an early valentine’s day nigiri omakase experience and was delighted at the kind and knowledgeable staff, other patrons, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend and love that it is also close by to the AMC for a continued date night!
Best sushi in Florida! My husband and I have had sushi in Japan and various states in the USA. We have found a lot of great locations. This is by far our favorite in the USA. The fish is not only fresh but meticulously crafted and served. We go 1-2 times per year and the experience is never quite the same, but always incredible. The communication barrier with some of the staff can be a slight challenge, but mostly the entire staff is friendly and helpful and, most importantly, very passionate about their work (art!). Yes, it’s expensive, but you get what you pay for :) thank you, Rexley and team, for being the culinary highlight of our year for each of last ~5 years! We will continue coming back to experience the amazing sushi you create!
Absolutely incredible experience! It's so good you will continue to think about it for hours after you go home. I went home, sat on the couch and wished I was still there while I was watching TV. Few restaurants have ever had that impact one me. Definitely a Michelin worthy experience. The only downside is that I don't think I will ever enjoy "typical" sushi nearly as much as I used to since the bar is now set so high.
