31 Best Japanese Restaurants near Ponte Vedra Beach

“The sushi was so wonderful. Fresh , awesome quality, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Miso soup had a great taste! I recommend Tank's Sushi Bistro in Nocatee to everyone.“

“OMG. Such a small lovely peaceful place. The quality of the food is unmatched. You can see and taste a difference compared to others. I will go there every time I'm in the area even if I'm not hungry. Favorite roll is the rock and roll“

“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 !! 😃“

“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.“

“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!“

“The Takoyaki is to die for. Warms your soul from the inside out. The sushi is incredible fresh and unique and all served in a spotless restaurant with the sweetest staff.“

“The food was amazing and I can’t remember what I had because it was devoured. I do remember the matcha dessert, which was really good. On top of the food being soo good, our service was phenomenal! Steven was attentive and very nice. Please let Steven know, I thought he was pretty sexy too 😉!“

“We ordered DoorDash tonight. The food here is great but I decided to add cream cheese to my 7$ shrimp tempora roll, knowing there would be an extra charge as all places do. They charged $8.47 to add cream cheese to a 7$ roll. That’s just insane. I always add cream cheese to rolls at other restaurants and never had to pay that much. Not worth it and disappointed.“

“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.“

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

“This place has been my local takeout for Asian cuisine for 2 years now. Our orders usually contain a soup, sushi and a chicken entree. Generals and orange are a favorite choices. Food is always hot even when we get it home! Soups are tasty and seasoned well. Staff is helpful, and always gives us extra sauce when asked. We use the beyond menu from the google page and it’s easy to use once you get used to navigating it. We’re lucky to have this place in close proximity to our home.“

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

“I don’t often go to the same sushi place twice, but for the past 5 years this has been my place! I love the service, I love the food, the atmosphere, and the great martinis Cindy at the bar makes😘 Always a great time. I always recommended to everyone:)“

“Love their GF menu. Taste delicious. Fresh. Best orange chicken. Love the choice of brown rice. Win for us!“

“An amazing experience that was professionally delivered by Zoe where we had a great meal with impeccable service. The General Tso chicken is definitely different now and quite frankly the best I have ever had. The number 4 spice had a great blend of heat and flavor. Will be back and add to night out regimen. You earned a customer, well done!“

“Wonderful food and service“

“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.“

“Deana (I hope I spelled that right) was so incredible she really made our experience that much better. I love the vibes and the food was IMPECCABLE! Huge delicious and fresh sushi rolls that packed with flavor, steak and chicken hibachi that literally melted in mouth. Not greasy or heavy just absolute perfection. Even the ginger salad dressing was unsuspecting and amazing. This is my new sushi spot I will be back time and time again. Thank you for giving me and my friend the best night out!“

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

“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.“

“Took my son here for his 30th birthday with his family. The chef was amazing, entertaining and so good with my almost 3 year old granddaughter. She was a little bit scared of the fire tricks but some way he made her feel at ease and she started having a lot of fun! He gave my son the royal birthday treatment! He even sang happy birthday to him and the entire dining room joined in with us! The food was amazing and well seasoned. The portions were HUGE! Our waitress was always 1-2 steps ahead of us and we didn’t have to ask or wait for anything. Only drawback was I had to purchase the “birthday package” which consisted of an amazing tasting piece of cake for my son and a short drum performance at the end when we were so done that I thought he was going to leave before they came out. That being said it’s was still a 5 star experience.“

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

“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.“

“When we got there it was an hour long wait for the grill and a 10-15 minute wait for a regular table. The kids wanted to do the grill but were ok with the regular table after we found out how long we would have to wait for the grill. There were only 2 cooks at the grill tables so we knew it would take some time for everyone to enjoy the presentation. We were seated at our regular table and our waitress was AMAZING even since she was really busy!! Our food was delicious and came out fast!!!! Our drinks were never empty and she was checking on us the whole time!!!! Would definitely recommend Jana's Steakhouse to anyone!!!“

“Daruma's is my absolute favorite Japanese Steak House!! The service is good & the food is always fantastic!! I can't speak for the sushi since I don't like it but the steak & chicken fried rice is always spot on!!! If you haven't been to Daruma's, what are you waiting for??? Go now!!“

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

“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.“

“If you’re looking for good sushi at a good price, it’s hard to beat Fuji Sushi. Any of the bad reviews simply don’t understand the business model. The reason they can offer such great prices without sacrificing quality is because they get people in and out fast. You will get all the food you want and more—but this is not the place to linger for hours.“

“Hadn’t been to Japanese Steak House in a while & very much enjoyed our experience. Celebrated a birthday too“

“Great food & friendly service!!! The Madness is infectious!!!“
