8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Jacksonville

“I just want to say, this place is amazing! We were sat immediately, which I loved. As soon as we were sat, we were also immediately greeted! Our server was so sweet, she explained the menu for us since it was our first time. We got the new york city roll and the chicken teriyaki, and it was beautiful and delicious! We will definitely be returning!“

“While it is a small shop, they have a decent assortment of Japanese snacks, kimchi, daikon, to a small freezer section seafood, takoyaki and Naruto fish cake. And if you’re lucky, you’ll catch some freshly made futomaki sushi rolls! ? Best of all they have the best coffee Suntory Boss and sometimes Bikkle drinks!“

“I came in with family and friends for the first time last night. We had 5 children (6 including my friend's) with us and 3 adults. I can NOT speak highly enough for the wonderful service and kindness of the staff accommodating us, and the food was absolutely fantastic!! We will be back and hopefully very soon ❤️“

“We decided to try Shogun Japanese Steakhouse on a Saturday evening and were glad we made a 5 PM reservation — the place was already packed at that hour. The restaurant offers both teppanyaki seating, where the chef cooks right in front of you, and traditional tables. We opted for teppanyaki, a bit skeptical at first since the chef really makes or breaks the experience.\n\nOur party of seven filled a table to ourselves, which was a plus. Both our server and chef were excellent, and the food was even better. We ordered a mix of steak, shrimp, lobster, and sashimi. The chef was personable without being over-the-top, and he cooked everything perfectly — the flavors were spot-on.\n\nWe came in with modest expectations but left on a food high. Great service, delicious food, and a fun night out with the family. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lively and flavorful dinner.“

“Just had a great experience with Diago. I’m in Studio City, and had been having issues with my gate sticking halfway when closing. Martin came out, quickly found the issue, and made the repair without pushing me to replace anything unnecessarily. Super professional guy.“

“This is my families favorite sushi spot in 100 mile radius from us. We love the all-u-can-eat options, but they do have an à la carte menu if you just wanna order to go or something smaller to eat. The substitutes when asked and need for the children are not a problem, with no extra charge. The parking can be a little limited at times when they are at there busiest. They have some of our favorite beer, we just wish they carried Soju. Also, they need to look into fixing up there baby changing station in the bathroom (add into mens room also).“

“Amazing food and awesome service. Very comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely be back.“

“The Chefs were great and so was the food. Very accommodating of our large group including excellent service for the adults and the kids. Looking forward to our next chance to go!“
