NOW SERVING OUR SPRING MENU. Kōsen, meaning “a ray of light," is rooted in the idea of clarity, precision, and quiet brilliance. This philosophy guides every element of the experience, from the composition of each course to the architecture of the space. Awarded a 1-MICHELIN Star for two consecutive years, Kōsen reflects the vision of Executive Chef Andrew Huang, whose approach balances tradition with innovation, delivering a refined Japanese concept to Tampa Heights. Sustainability is not a feature, but a cornerstone of our restaurant ethos. Our kitchen operates with intention - through an evolving in-house fermentation program, close relationships with regenerative farmers, and a move away from single-use materials. What remains is a philosophy of care: for ingredients, for process, and for the world that sustains them. For private party & event inquiries contact info@kosentampa.com We do not accept cash. A 20% service charge will be added to your final bill.
