16 Best Japanese Restaurants in St. Augustine

“I have eaten at the restraunt a couple times inside and it has been awesome everytime so I do recommend eating there. Service has always been awesome, but Do not order to go. The food quality to go is nowhere close to when eat eat there and that's disappointing. I ordered hibatchi chicken and shrimp to go and pretty good chicken and shrimp floating in sauce and a bunch of onions and carrots floating in watery sauce. Will never order to go again. Especially when my whole order was over 75 dollars.“

“This is one of the very best Sushi restaurants that i have ever eaten at. The service was spectacular and the selection of sushi and sashimi was stupendous. I have eaten in many Sushi restaurants and I have to say this is by far my favorite . Whenever we are in St. Augustine I know we will eat there again. My husband, who does not like sushi, also loved the food he was able to get.“

“For the price, you can't top this place. Sushi was roughly as good as that you'd find at 150% of the menu prices here. It's not going to blow your mind or be the best sushi you ever ate, but it's still good sushi for crazy low prices.“

“The food was absolutely amazing and the service what quick and efficient.

We were starving when we got here, so I forgot to take pictures of the avocado roll, cucumber roll, and teriyaki tofu.

Every single the thing we got was amazing! And the teriyaki plate was so large that we ended up splitting it and so full we could barely eat the fried Oreos we got for dessert!“

“Great service and an amazing difference from the prior occupant in this location. We really enjoyed the attentive and pleasant nature of the service staff. The food was well prepared and entertaining. The sushi was good as well as the hibachi meals. I agree with many of the other positive reviews and I am happy that I have this restaurant a try after ownership and name change. It is definitely well worth it and I will recommend to my neighbors and friends.

Parking: Plenty of parking in front as lot is not used much at night.“

“Im giving 5 stars because compared to the other Asian food options in St Augustine, Sushi 99 is far better. However, our family has been going here since they opened. At first like all new restaurants, they were on their A game. Lately though, service has seemed a little slower, food is still good and the restaurant has a good atmosphere. Prices have jumped significantly, which has limited us from visiting more often. But, if locals are looking for good Sushi and Asian cuisine, this place is worth the visit. And for those who are gluten free, they can make dishes gluten free. Another huge win for Sushi 99. Chicken hibachi is good gluten free.“

“@Matsukawa Sushi & Ramen up past Costco is the best sushi I've had in Florida . It ranks with the quality sushi restaurant we found in London. It's going to blow your mind! #sushi #bestofnorthflorida #bestsushi #saintaugustine“

“Eating at Ginger Bistro is always phenomenal. From the time that they opened to the present, we have always had an exceptional experience. Tuna, Eva, and their team make everyone feel like friends coming over to have dinner. They remember your name and what you enjoy while still providing professional and efficient service to their patrons. Ginger Bistro is always our go-to for ramen, sushi, and now Chinese!“

“Great prices, good food, and sushi were really good! Usually small places like this are inconsistent but this was such a great find. We ordered sushi and hamachi and both were delicious and we were so pleased with the turn out. Will definitely be back when we come back for another visit to st Augustine!!“

“Amazing experience! Service was top-notch and the food was fresh, fast, and full of flavor. Loved the wine, apps, and entrées — everything was on point. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Thanks to the crappy service and environment at Yamato (just got up and left before the drink orders) we were able to find Mikato!! Very professional with a classy environment just how it’s supposed to be, and the service was impeccable and accommodating UNLIKE Yamato!! Our server Jada who had such a cute personality was amazing, and Bob (yeah right lol), our Hibachi Chev was so funny we had such a great time!!!! We will definitely be back!!! (see you tomorrow lol). Thank you for a great birthday celebration for our son…. It was exactly what he deserved!!! Well done!!“

“Great food, friendly servers and warm atmosphere.“

“Small and quaint, lovely staff, food was fast and yummy!!! Highly recommend over chain restaurants. EAT LOCALLY and support small businesses“

“PRICES Reasonable, food was good, services was ok as well , But the building some TLC as customer what I look for a clean restaurant is the outside and bathrooms as well . The building is old but with some clean windows and touch up paint will look decent, will Attract more customers .“

“Always a fun time and great experience!“

“Where do I start! Best sushi I’ve had ever!!
