“I can’t say enough good things about Sushi & Sub — this hidden gem on Beach Boulevard is hands-down one of the best sushi spots in Jacksonville. From the moment you walk in (or grab takeout), you’re greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere and a staff that clearly cares.

The sushi itself is spectacular — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The roll sizes are generous, and the quality rivals what you’d expect at much pricier restaurants. The California Roll is a standout: simple, classic, but elevated with really good rice and fresh ingredients. Their Southsider Roll is another favorite — the way they balance savory, sweet, crunchy, and spice is just magical.

Beyond the sushi rolls, the menu has a nice variety: from ramen to chicken katsu, they’ve got options that will satisfy sushi lovers and Japanese food fans alike. Portions are big, and the prices are incredibly reasonable — you’ll feel like you’re getting a premium experience without paying premium prices. Several reviews say you can get a 12-piece roll for under $10.

Service is equally impressive. Orders are made fresh, and even during busy times, the staff stays friendly and efficient. There’s also a cozy dine-in space, though many folks pick up — but honestly, the food is so good it’s worth sticking around if you can.

The owners clearly know what they’re doing. According to one long-time review, the owner has been running this place for decades. That kind of consistency really shows in the quality and care put into every dish.

In short: if you’re craving sushi that feels both authentic and down-to-earth, Sushi & Sub is a must-visit. Exceptional food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere — this place deserves every one of its high ratings. I’ll absolutely be back soon.“

“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!!“

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

“Every birthday in our family, we are here. I happily drive an hour each way to eat here. the food is fabulous and the owners are also. highly recommend“

“This was my first time eating here and it won’t be my last. The police was really clean and I am very excited for the new ownership of the building, the place was really clean and inviting so I did not mind waiting. The staff was OK. I think I may have annoyed the lady running the cash register because I took so long and couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted. But I did try shrimp hibachi it was really good and everything was fresh. The rice was sticky just like how I liked it. I also appreciate that you get two shrimp sauces or Yum Yum sauces with your hibachi order so that was great. The fried cheesecake was so delicious, crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. Love,love, love, the food. $19 + tip is pretty pricey for 1 plate and a slice of cheesecake, however try again.“

“We have visited this establishment several times and everytime has been an outstanding experience. The food has always been amazing and very friendly service.“

“From Onion Volcanoes to Koi Ponds: Why Sakura is the Ultimate Date NightSo you want to celebrate your first date in style? Maybe it’s their birthday, maybe you’re ready to pop the question, or maybe you just want to show your partner they’re worth the world. Sakura Japanese Steak House on San Jose Blvd delivers it all with hibachi flames, bold sushi, and a koi garden so dreamy it feels like fairy-topia.
When the appetizers arrive, don’t be fooled—what looks like mozzarella sticks are actually calamari in disguise. Rolled, breaded, and fried golden, it’s a crunchy surprise that makes you laugh before you even take the first bite.
Then comes the sushi. Sakura doesn’t do subtle. Rolls arrive stacked, shredded, and garnished with flowers flashy, colorful, and unapologetically extra. They’re as Instagram-worthy as they are tasty.
Yhe real magic happens at the hibachi grill. Chefs flip shrimp across the table, clank spatulas like drumsticks, and light onion volcanoes that puff steam like a miniature Mount Fuji. It’s dinner with a side of “wow.”
Inside, the tables hum with energy sizzling rice, flying veggies, and plenty of laughs. Step outside after your meal and the vibe shifts. Fairy lights glow above koi ponds and waterfalls, creating a dreamlike setting that feels made for romance.
Sakura isn’t just dinner it’s a destination. Whether you’re celebrating your first date, your partner’s birthday, or even dropping to one knee, this is the kind of place that turns a meal into a milestone.
If they don’t say yes after this date night… it’s not the restaurant’s fault. 😉
Koi ponds, hibachi fire, and sushi drama Sakura has it all.“

“The food was excellent, the service was impeccable. I have to mention I was being sidetracked by our five-year-old, as well as my teenager. Ordering could have been, well frustrating for the server. She sweetly repeated herself as many times as I needed her to. I would gladly eat at this place every day.“

“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!“

“Very chill, went with a friend. Ordered the vegan cucumber avacado roll which came with pickled ginger & wasabi, also got edamame with sweet tea & strawberry japanese soda. Loved it! Hope they can add some more vegan friendly appetizers & items, but enjoyed.

Friendly, patient service, provided guidance for dietary restrictions. Hoping to return sometime.

Domo arigato gozaimashita, thank you very much.“

“Saigon Wok is excellent! The Saigon Wings are very, very good — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My wife loves the Singapore Curry Noodles, and the Combination Curry Noodles with chicken, beef, and shrimp are outstanding. Great service, generous portions, and consistently delicious food. One of our favorite spots in Fleming Island!“

“I ordered using DoorDash for my family of 3. One has ordered from Sushya many times so we agreed to give it a try. It arrived quickly and everything was so good! We chose Katsu and Udon. Hot, delicious with generous portions. Enough for leftovers. Happy nothing was too salty. Will order from there again!“

“This place is my absolute comfort zone! Since moving to Jax, I’ve been coming here every time I shop at Walmart. The complimentary sushi rolls are amazing, the sushi is super fresh, and the hibachi portions are huge with soup or salad. The service is fantastic—such a small place, yet they always make sure you have everything you need. Love it! ❤️“
