27 Best Japanese Restaurants near Neptune Beach

“great interaction with customers“

“As a true sushi connoisseur, I have tasted tuna in person at the Tsukiji Fish Market, dined in Tokyo, Kyoto, New York and San Francisco and can say with confidence that Benny’s amazing Yamasaki is among the beat sushi restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. They fly the sushi direct from Japan and you can truly taste the difference. I cannot recommend highly enough.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Their food is always very good ! Deee-licious anniversary dinner -- and Maria was so helpful and a pleasure to talk to !! 😃“

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

“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!“

“Absolutely one of the freshest and cleanest restaurants I’ve tried in Jacksonville. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and high quality. The grilled beef skewers were the highlight for me — honestly some of the most tender, fresh, and flavorful beef I’ve ever had. I was told some of their ingredients are flown in from Japan every two days, and you can really taste the quality. Everything was beautifully prepared and the restaurant felt very clean and well cared for. Absolutely amazing. 100% recommend!“

“I’ve never left a Google review before but The Black Pearl and our server Cam, changed that tonight, my wife and I decided to eat here for our 15 year anniversary and were blown away from the moment we entered the establishment, the atmosphere was impeccable as we were led to our table and greeted from the servers immediately, our very knowledgeable and hospitable server l, Can, proceeded to congratulate us on our anniversary and gave us stellar recommendations on drinks as well as walk us through the menu, after I had the best sushi in my life and my wife had the delectable pasta, we paid our bill and Cam showed us the speak easy area as well as the cuts that my sushi came from, do NOT sleep on this restaurant!!!“

“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!“

“Great food and reasonable prices! Definitely one of the best in Jax!“

“absolutely phenomenal. i absolutely love the hibachi. i can get a filet mignon and scallops, rice, noodles, and veggies for 38 bucks!!! definitely worth the money, both in portion sizes and in taste. the food is always so good, and the chefs are so social and hospitable! i love it here!!“

“This is our favorite local sushi spot! It is a tad pricier (not much), but we've found it's worth it. We typically get pretty basic rolls (spicy salmon, spicy tuna, rainbow roll) which are always fresh. Portions are large for the hibachi as well!“

“Love this place. There are gluten friendly options which is nice including an alternative to the soy sauce. Atmosphere is nice. Service has always been good.“

“Kingdom sushi Windermere é mais do que bem recomendado, melhor sushi da Florida“

“excellent rolls, sashimi & clear soup all delicious. salmon thick sliced & very fresh tasting.“

“Great food and great lunch menu!
Thank you for all the food!
Wonderful value for the cost!
The vegetables were cooked wonderfully.
The booths were spacious.
I really appreciated the air conditioning.“

“We live 2.5 hours away from Jacksonville, but try to make the trip about once a month just to eat here. The food is always amazing and the ladies that work here go above and beyond every time! Wild Ginger has become my whole family’s favorite restaurant.“

“Wonderful food and service“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Serenity at Jax Beach is an absolute must-go. Everything from the atmosphere to the service felt elevated and welcoming. My favorite bites of the night were the sticky ribs (unreal—flavor-packed and perfectly cooked) and the bluefin sushi, which was fresh and top-tier. What really made the experience stand out was the vibe: they had an in-house musician playing violin the night I attended, and it added such a classy, relaxing touch that made the whole dinner feel special. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers on food, ambiance, and an experience—Serenity is it.“

“It's been a little while since I've eaten at Daruma (only because I've moved further away from it.) This was a restaurant we frequented often because the entire family loved it. We were there so often, the staff had given each person in our family nick names! The staff is very personable, always attentive, and polite.

Can't go wrong with any entree on the menu. I can't speak for the sushi, tho! I've never eaten it... but I've seen many people doing so!

The restaurant is ALWAYS busy so it's also always loud at the hibachi tables. The other side of the restaurant and the bar is always a bit quieter. Not a whole lot of room in the lobby for customers to sit & wait for a table. only complaint I have! Most definitely recommend Daruma!“

“Special, thanks to Luke. My server went above and beyond!!

Even though I showed up at 9:40 PM

The food was professionally cooked
The scallops were real scallops
Steak, chicken rice everything was prepared perfect perfectly.

Amazing presentation.

Will come back again,“
