Good Fortune great food, great drinks and a great vibe! My daughters brought me here for my birthday for an early dinner and it was the perfect place to celebrate. As you step down through an entrance covered in beautiful flowers you have arrived to your "secret" sanctuary! Once you are inside, the LED colors just pop and the music feels your ears and you know this is going to be fun. We were seated immediately (no rez) and our server came right over to greet us and give us the scoop on the fancy drinks. We ordered the "Pretty Kitty" drink and it came in the cutest pink kitty mug, and the beverage did not disappoint. We ordered the Japanese milk bread, crispy brussel sprouts and the crispy tuna - delish!! Our tummies were ready to move on to sushi! I had the Seeing Green roll and it was soooo good. This place is def one that you should visit.

Had the delicious Coconut Curry Chicken at this hidden gem. The salmon just melted in your mouth and mixed with the rice, bamboo shoots, pepper, and curry sauce made this dish, absolutely divine. It truly was an exceptional meal. The server, Carrie, was very friendly and accommodating. She was exceptional in accommodating, the food, allergies of one in our party. Highly recommend when in downtown St Pete.

For business or pleasure, this place is fun! The interior has so much to look at and enjoy- a canopy of flower blossoms at the bar, downtown neon signs on the way to the washroom, open kitchen by the sushi bar and intimate outdoor seating if the weather is pleasant. The sushi was awesome and they had a great selection of sake and beer. They have hot food as well.They also offer half-off bottles of sake one day during the week (currently on Thursdays). Lots of street and garage parking available and a great jumping off point if you have other activities you are going to in the area. TIP: the front entrance is down the stairs!

Drinks are dangerously good. The sushi rolls were very fresh. I love it wasn't to crowded and the atmosphere was nice

This was my first time at Good Fortune St. Pete. I went with my wife and her family and we had a great time. From the moment you walk up to the establishment you can feel the vibes. The ambience and decor is top tier and truly welcoming. The DJ does a really good job at switching through great songs in different genres. Food and drinks were amazing and so was the shot we had at the end. I would be back here in a heart beat. Check out Good Fortune St. Pete if you’re ever in the area.

This place is really a vibe Great food, great drinks, and great ambiance brings a crowd. Both selection and ambiance are top notch. Service was great. Location is prime and what they’ve done with the place really makes it a fun spot. I’d go as far as to say this is one of the better spots for a night out in St. Pete...starting or finishing, if you like Asian cuisine and modern urban fusion culture this is a spot to check out.

Went here for a friends birthday after wanting to try it for a long time, and it was excellent. Our server, Vanessa, knew exactly when to come check on us while giving us plenty of time to lounge and catch up. We had comfy seats for a party of 5 in the back of the restaurant. The DJ added to the experience as his mix was the perfect to groove to while never being overpowering. The appetizers and food were very good prices for the portion size in my opinion. We had all eaten plenty after only having ordered three of the small plates. Most of us had to take to go boxes! The drinks were delightful as well as everyone enjoyed their cocktails. I appreciated the attention to detail- truly a carefully crafted lounge experience!

Good Fortune in St. Pete is a must-visit for sushi lovers! The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the Japanese milk bread was absolutely to die for. The Brussels sprouts were also amazing—perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The only downside was the music, which was so loud it made it hard to socialize. But if you’re looking for fantastic Asian-inspired dishes, this spot is worth checking out!
