50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Jacksonville

“Stopped in to scope out a place to take my native born Japanese mother. VERY GOOD FOOD - the tonkatsu ramen was fresh and not overly-salty as other places tend to serve. The chirashi was delicious. Will definitely return!“

“So let me tell you. I love their sushi. Good food. Great price. Always good service. Now a beef. I used to eat there twice a month. They give you fried Oreo for desert. Complements of the house. But when I order pick up guess what. They wanted to charge $6 for something they give me free. Used to be a regular and hate to even say something negative but that’s just not right.“

“Delicious food! I love it!“

“10/10 Every thing was delicious. Clean. Well priced. Friendly staff. Definitely would recommend!!!“

“Good friendly service and great food“

“Friendly staff and amazing service“

“Delicious food, excellent service, reasonable prices, very clean restaurant and the owners super friendly. My favorite restaurant ❤️. The best place to celebrate the birthday 🎉.“

“ALWAYS great food and great service! Very fresh sushi and salads! Their dinners are also always perfect, our favorite is the side filet medium. I love that you can get the usual full hibachi meals but if you don’t want that much food, they have a “side” menu where you can get just the hibachi meat without the veggies and rice. Best Japanese food around!“

“Very clean!! She washes her hands!! Southside roll 🍣 and seaweed salad for meeee😁. My coworkers and I called a few minutes after hours, and she made our order! Definitely recommend for CLEAN, pleasant, and fast service. I want my favs now as I write ✍🏾 this review 🤭“

“Phillp Sushi is hands down one of the best (if not the best) sushi restaurants in Jacksonville. The two best rolls... "Out of Control" and "Godzilla Rolls" with soy paper are hard to beat!!“

“Sushi Q has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a quick and satisfying sushi lunch or dinner. Every time I visit they are consistent with the freshness and flavor of their sushi. You can really tell they prioritize quality, as each bite is delicious, flavorful, and well-balanced.
While their menu offers a fantastic variety of options like bento boxes, hibachi, teriyaki, and udon, I always find myself craving their sushi. No matter what I choose, the sushi always hits the spot, but I especially make sure to order a roll or two to enhance my meal. The staff is friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit enjoyable.
If you're looking for a reliable place with fresh, tasty sushi and a diverse menu, Sushi Q is definitely the place to go.“

“This is the best place for sushi around. Terry & Cindy Own/run a friendly restaurant that is relaxing and soothing. It’s a good place to unreel and enjoy the evening meal or lunch with a friend or friends. Lisa and I highly recommend it. Gary and Lisa Moreau“

“Took my mom and niece to Tokyo Asian Kitchen, and we all loved it! Our server Hellen was fantastic, she was super attentive the whole night. The portions blew us away for the value. I had hibachi, my niece got a sushi bowl, and my mom had the chicken fried rice. Everything was fresh and tasty! We capped off the night with fried ice cream. We will certainly return: ask for Hellen!“

“Delicious food in a beautiful environment. Service was very good.“

“Very friendly staff and great menu options.“

“Excellent food and excellent variety. Sushi is top notch. They use Tamaki Gold rice on all Sushi. I eat here at least once a week.“

“There's those restaurants sometimes tucked away in a run down shopping plaza that are just outstanding and you Obento are one of those restaurants. Every order we have gotten from your restaurant has been delicious! I usually get it delivered and every time is HOT! Unfortunately today was our last order from you all as we are moving away but as usual you didn't disappoint!!“

“Delicious sushi, Kani salad and hibachi! Excellent, fast service! We will be back!!!“

“We ordered DoorDash. We only received 2 salads and one sushi order. I angrily called them and overreacted a bit for sure. However.... not only did someone from the restaurant deliver the rest of our order, I'm pretty sure they re cooked it all because it was all fresh and delicious.

Major major props to them for putting up with my tantrum from being hangry and fixing the mistake with such respect and courtesy!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!! Also, best sushi in town period!“

“My son and I love Sumo. We highly recommend trying them out.“

“Very chill spot. Not overcrowded, when you come in it’s a breath of fresh air.
Husband and I came here earlier Sunday. I got the Godzilla sushi burrito, and my husband got the spicy tuna burrito.
The Godzilla sushi burrito was delicious. The flavors top notch! The textures worked so well together!
Definitely will be coming back. If you haven’t tried it yet, you have too.“

“My husband and I dined in at the new location tonight. The decor and atmosphere are beautiful, very pleasant. Our server was very friendly and super attentive. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. My husband had the chicken and steak hibachi and I had chicken tempura. We both had clear soup and salads. Everything was so tasty, very flavorful!! Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!! 😋“

“Love this place! I’ve had so many birthdays here. Their chefs are so nice and are always professional and the food tastes great.“

“Wonderful food and service“

“I really hate that I have to post a bad review as we love this place but if it will help someone else with serious food allergies then so be it, I explained to the chef that my wife is highly allergic to scallops as someone at the table ordered them, usually no big deal except they brought the food out to cook and the scallops were on the same plate touching the rest of the food, then the chef carried on using the same spatula that he touched the scallops with to touch everything else, steak, shrimp, chicken, vegetables and the butter the scoup from the bucket to season and no one understood what cross contamination is. after a painful affair of trying to explain this to them they say they need to cook my wifes dinner in the kitchen then when it arrives it is subpar to what was cooked at the table, very disappointing needless to say, so just a warning if you go, if someone at the table orders something you are allergic to you are better off either changing tables or going elsewhere as sadly the food cooked separately in the kitchen is not the same as what was cooked at the table, also need to know what you all do with the tub of butter as I'm pretty sure you don't throw it away, do you just send it to the next table? use it again the next day? anyone with shellfish or mollusk allergies need to know it has been cross contaminated as I watched every move the chef made as if I had not we would have had to call rescue, so be extra cautious if you dine here and have such allergies, City of Jacksonville FL can we get a health code violation???“

“This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely love it“

“We love this place! We always get DELICIOUS and fresh Asian fusion food and it never disappoints. Large portions, too!! We wish there was one closer to San Marcos, but we don't mind coming down to Bartram. Just for this!“

“I'd eat here again service is ok food is good“

“This was my favorite restaurant in Jax. But, the waiter decided to add a 20% gratuity to the total. We were only a party of two, and this typically applies to parties of more than 4. Be sure to check your tickets. He did this to everyone at the table. We will not be revisiting anytime soon. Likewise, he only checked our drinks once.“

“5 Stars. Great food and service. Prices are also great Highly recommend“

“Incredibly delicious! Met my expectations & cured my cravings!! I highly recommend you try it!“

“Everything is awesome m, from the staff to the tasty food! 5 stars from me.“

“I love this place. I drive about 30 minutes to get the amazing Japanese teriyaki chicken with noodles and steamed rice mixed vegetables and tons of teriyaki chicken. The portion size is unbelievably huge. Totally get your money's worth.. super friendly staff. Gilbert the manager and Miguel always greet me with a smile and a thumbs up. Way to go guys. Best value for Japanese teriyaki.“

“This place is really surprised me! There is not very much healthy food options in the West North Side area but I was so happy to find a place that served sushi. I got the Spicy Shrimp tempura and it was super fresh. They are also fast and check out this Hibachi Shrimp, chicken, and steak! It's loaded to the top!“
