16 Best Japanese Restaurants in St. Augustine

“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.“

“Hidden gem for sushi lovers. Great price and amazing meal with high quality fish. Extra fresh and whole tine (not minced) which was so impressive. Beautiful presentation and stoneware dishes feel inviting and special for a nice dinner out or a quick lunch with the office“

“We had such a great experience at Fancy Sushi! The food was delicious, and there were so many sushi options to choose from. I have an avocado allergy, so I was really happy that I could find several rolls without avocado.
Everything was beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. Our server, Nadia, was amazing! She was so friendly, attentive, and gave us great appetizer recommendations when we couldn't decide what to order.

Overall, we had a wonderful meal and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Wow!!! This place is the best kept secret in St John’s!!! The best food, the service….the facilities. We had a huge group here and will definitely be back…..do yourself a favor and come here. One person posted about their bathrooms, but we did not have that experience“

“@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“

“Sofia and (as always) the food is 10/10!!! Went to corner first,(last time they seemed understaffed which I get bc I work in a restaurant but soooooo glad we decided on ginger bistro instead!!! Sofia was on it, couldn’t have had better service she convinced me next sushi night trip we will be back here, no doubt!!“

“Great little place for sushi! Really wonderful flavors!!“

“Absolutely love this family owned restaurant ❤
Only down side was my last order they were out of gluten-free soy sauce

But for them to even offer gluten-free soy is Absolutely amazing 👏

Definitely worth trying them out if you haven't yet!“

“What a delightful place. Warm welcome when you open the door. Fantastic service throughout the meal. Cucumber salad was perfect. Mongolian Chicken was delicious but I would have liked it more if it was a bit spicier. Nothing to complain about, just an observation. If I lived near here, I would be a regular. Highly recommend!“

“Very good sushi. All the fish tasted fresh, nothing fishy. They have plenty of options for people that actually like fish or people who just like deep fried mayonnaise, (gotta give Americans what they want. 🤷). Also noticed a sign on the sushi bar, real crab available on request so that's nice as well. I would ask though, if anybody is listening, please fix your website. The ads are infuriating. Good sushi!“

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

“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.“

“Great food, friendly servers and warm atmosphere.“

“Awesome and delicious tasting food and the presentation was on point. Wonderful service - 10/10 I wish we lived closer so I can eat at this wonderful place more often. A true hidden gem- Thank you for your service.“

“Always a fun time and great experience!“

“Very good place with reliably good quality foods. The pepper chicken and Mei Fun noodles are on point! If I could offer any suggestion, some landscaping out front and cleaning of trash that is around the property could really help, to include mowing the grass around the site and making sure the parking lot adequately drains from rainwater.

Staff if always nice and quality is excellent! Love this place and the people! 5 STARS!“
