EJ the bar manager is so friendly and makes the absolute most banger drinks. What I've always admired especially is how upscale it feels in there while having many items that are affordable. I've been multiple times and have seriously enjoyed it every time!!! If you love Japanese food, you've gotta try it.

The creative specials really stood out, offering some unexpected and delicious options. The **octopus balls and wagyu roll were the absolute showstoppers**--both were creative, beautifully executed, and packed with flavor. Definitely the kind of dishes that make you want to come back and see what they're serving up next. Only took off one star bc the cocktail and wine options were subpar at best. Great food, great energy, and a relaxed vibe make this a place worth checking out!

We devoured them on our way back home. Great place. They have karaoke night on Wednesdays. They also offered us a complementary cheese cake bites that were yummy.

This place rules. I highly recommend it to everyone. First of all, they have the best edamame I…read morehave ever had by far. It may seem odd to mention that in a review for a steakhouse, especially when their steak is also absolutely stellar, but it is really that good. The hibachi chef was skilled both as a chef and as a performer and all the food was cooked perfectly. The prices are also very low for the amount of food you receive - $37 buys 10oz of filet mignon (which is already a better price than a lot of steakhouses) but that then also comes with a huge quantity of rice, noodles, and vegetables, as well as a salad and a soup. We ate our fill and then also had like a week's worth of leftovers. It's certainly not somewhere we can afford to come super often, but it's an excellent deal for what you receive. One thing to keep in mind though is it's really cold in there, presumably so that working with the hibachi all day can be tolerable. Since customers don't stand over the hot grill the whole time you should bring a sweater.

Our calamari appetizer was undercooked and even when they took it back to refry it, it was still undercooked. In addition, I was told the soup was beef broth and I don't eat beef so he told me I had to pay extra to upgrade to a non-beef option which seems very unreasonable when it should be included in our meal. A server later told us it was chicken broth so I unnecessarily had to pay extra for the miso soup... The hibachi was good still and overall had a good flavor. We did not like our server, he was quite rude and even after being told by a different server that we would not be charged for the UNDERCOOKED calamari and miso soup, we got charged and when I asked him about it, he came up with excuses. They eventually comped it but he was very rude. I don't know that we will be going back, there's better hibachi in Jax if this is how the service is going to be.

Looked over the menu and was in a pho mood. The special looked tasty with added variety-ramen, crispy chicken, chicken bao and unique lemonade made with sparkling water. Was served very quickly. I ate the egg first-- perfection. I tried all the condiments on their own with a spoon full of broth. I loved the Shichimi togarashi but the pepper sauerkraut was phenomenal. I ate both in bites of broth and on my bao. I've had a better bao but seriously nothing to complain about here. The chicken was well seasoned, not dry but not juicy. The broth was not as spicy as I would have liked. The ramen noodles were acceptable. I'm definitely headed back for the omurice! Can't wait! Not sure why all my menu photos didn't show up.

It's any ramen off the menu, a pork bao or an order of gyoza and either a Thai iced tea or a lemonade, all for sixteen bucks. The ramen was quite decent (and spicy!) and the bao was tasty, too. The tea was well made and refreshing. I also noticed from looking at the regular menu that they serve omurice. Am definitely trying that next time! Service was very kind, friendly and efficient and the place was immaculately clean with a cool vibe and layout. If you're near there between the hours of 11:30 and 4:00, it's definitely worth stopping in to take advantage of this great lunch deal. And don't scoff at it being a chain - some chains (like this one) are good. Kyuramen 9846 Old Baymeadows Rd. Jacksonville, FL 32256 (904)647-5772

It was a real joy to eat at Fancy Sushi & Grill! Happened to be at Academy and was actually…read morethinking about visiting a sushi shop and then stumbled on this one! Well, I can say up front that this shop is special to the core! I immediately noticed the sharp in decor detail, clean, organized, and impressive in seating arrangement. The seating includes comfortable booths along the walls, along with plenty of table seating in the midsection. From appearances, for a Monday it seemed to have a good number of customers visit on this evening. It looked like some were regulars - they all seemed to like it here! Well, I can say I liked it a ton! You have no issues here wondering if ingredients are fresh or not. You can go to the front counter and look for yourself. The seafood I observed was some of the best in quality I've seen in a while. I want to say up front the service was fantastic. My server, Yvonne, was kind, respectful, and helped me navigate through the menu to finally decide what I wanted. She also made regular checks to see how I was doing, along with the customers she served in my area. Yes! Definitely a 5-star server! For my order, I picked two things I was familiar with and two things not so much. Since I hadn't enjoyed crab Rangoon for years, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity! These were pretty large, filled with cream cheese (and I think chive) and fried to a perfect crunch level. I'll be getting these every time I visit! The other item of familiarity for me was the California roll. I've eaten many of these in, you guessed it, California. However, these were much different and rich being created in this specialty shop. It certainly had the same ingredients, but it was high above in quality than any Cali roll I've ordered in the past. The two rolls that I had no eating experience with in the past were the holiday roll and the Tokyo roll. Of the three rolls, the Tokyo roll was my favorite. I somehow didn't include it in my menu photos here. But it had a little spice kick and seafood (fish or crab) - I just highly recommend it! The holiday roll is on the menu, but ingredients are not listed there. However, Yvonne noted to me that many customers who visit choose to eat this roll only during their visits - so it is a very popular and delicious offering here! I sure would eat it again! In all, visiting Fancy Sushi & Grill exceeded my expectations in all three categories that Yelp likes us to cover for our reviews. When you have great customer service, beyond superb sushi plates and offerings, along with a wonderful setting that makes customers feel pleasant and welcome their entire visit, well, I can only say it made for a perfect evening - and I'll be back! I hope those who read this visit too! Recommend: VERY HIGH
