I ordered the creamy chicken ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the noodles had a really good texture. The chicken was tender, and everything came together into one of those bowls that's just comforting from the first bite to the last. Portion size was solid too, definitely filling without feeling over the top. The restaurant had a calm, relaxed atmosphere and the staff was friendly and attentive. Food came out hot and fresh, and service was smooth the whole time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a warm bowl of ramen. read more

Nippon Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

very pleasantly surprised that the mall has a good, i mean great, ramen and sushi restaurant. i got the miso curry ramen with pork belly and it was probably the best ramen i've had. the broth was so flavorful and that is really what truly makes it break ramen. the spice level was perfect for me. my daughter ordered the creamy chicken ramen but the only downside was the chicken was fried nugget looking things, not what i expected. but she's 8 and she absolutely loved the flavor of hers as well (no spice for her). i also ordered the chuck roll. it was really good and the fish tasted fresh (a major factor for me), it was a pretty big roll and i couldn't finish it since also having the ramen. service was fast and the waitress was friendly. there was only one sushi chef and he was cranking out rolls fast. i was shocked at how packed the restaurant was (again considering its in a mall and it was pretty small) so they put us at the sushi bar which was fun for my daughter. its a huge hit and i can see why people love it. i'll definitely be back when we go to cordova mall. read more

This tiny sushi & ramen place in the Mall is very cute, interior professionally designed & has a fabulous ambiance & atmosphere. I see online everyone is complaining about the service, which is odd to me, bc I have always received excellent service here. The issues I find here are not the customer service, it's that they are constantly out of things on the menu. They don't have soft-shell crab or real crab for the sushi rolls. They don't have uni or salmon roe, quail eggs etc., However, one time hubby & I were here & he had the most incredible pork katsu. He still talks about it. He said it was the best one he has ever had. I had some pork ramen, it was meh at best. The sushi we have had up to date has been ok. I love the Cucumber salad. The green tea they serve here is amazeballs. However, yesterdays Tuna Tataki blew me mind. Def my fave dish here so far. Can't wait to order it again! :)... I wanted to try the tuna tartar that comes with the quail egg but they didn't have any quail eggs yesterday, hence the 4 stars. So moi asked if I could have the tuna tataki lightly seared, moi request was honored & the tuna tataki that was served me was indeed lightly seared, super fresh & super delicious, absolutely amazing flavor as well as beautifully presented. Superb. "Thanks so much chef for the excellent Tuna Tataki. Please get some quail eggs & we can work on that 5th star." Your move. See you soon. Recommended. read more

Stopped here for lunch today and they made it fresh! I had a yellowtail roll and a spicy salmon roll. Both of them were delicious. The inside is decorated really cute! read more

The food itself was good, but two reasons for this review: - Service was very slow at 3 pm on a random Thursday - three people seated after us received their food before we did and they were not short-staffed. - The two of us ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer for $9 - it came with only two shrimp, one average size broccoli floret, one tiny broccoli floret, two pieces of yam/potato, and one pepper ring. Perhaps add in the description it only comes with two shrimp? read more

Came here looking for ramen, found another great sushi spot. Their ramen was okay, but they definitely specialize in their sushi. I had a sample that they gave out while I was there and that alone was very good. The staff here were super nice, and I really appreciated the amount of attention they had for the customers. It's very cute little restaurant, and I enjoyed my visit. read more

Spent 16 years in the far East. Two tours of duty in South Korea, four years of active duty in Japan on the island of Okinawa, and another 10 years in federal civil service on Okinawa. I can say without a doubt that Nippon Sushi is as authentic as it gets, and that is everything on the menu as well. I usually get a bento box or a nice big bowl of ramen noodles. Very fantastic. There are only two things I'd like to see change: the chairs at the counter are a bit high and there's no foot rail. I'm not very tall and my legs and feet tend to dangle. A foot rail would help a whole bunch; the second thing is the wait staff is a little too eager in bringing the check as soon as you finish eating. I'm kind of feels like a bum's rush to get out of the place especially when there was no one around hardly it wasn't crowded. So please look into a those things. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant. this restaurant is located less than 3 minutes from my house. I ordered through grubhub and the order was accepted at 7:39 with an estimated delivery of 8:03-8:13. The restaurant called at 8:20pm to tell me it would not be delivered. Abysmal service. DO NOT ORDER. read more

I attempted to have a bite to eat before leaving the mall. The hostess approached us as normal and ask how many. I said two but where are going to get it to go. She immediately sent us back to the entrance. It was kind of rude. But I didn't say much. She had us menu. I then ask her if the calamari had tentacles? She said just like the picture. It was definitely rude. So i immediately address it and said ma'am you are very rude. We were going to have a cocktail at the bar and wait on my food. I decide to not order food. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for several years but it is very small and located on your way out of the food court at the Cordova Mall. It is almost always at capacity when I'm there so I've never had the opportunity until a few days ago. I got the Beef Ramen, my daughter got the Bento Box A, and we got a Chuck Roll to share. Hands down the best ramen and sushi in Pensacola. The ramen was exceptional as well. A+++++ read more

I've stopped in for lunch or dinner on many occasions while shopping at the mall; sometimes by myself, other times with friends and family. We've always had great service.

I was stationed in okinawa for almost 4 years (2015-2018) and Raman was always my go to food. When I came back to the states, there was never a Raman place that compared to the real thing. Nippon Sushi is the only Raman shop that has gotten close. Everytime me and my family come here they have the best service and food and we always leave happy. The only real problem we've had with this place is sometimes they don't have some ingredients and I can't order my usual (I don't blame the owners though since it gets shipped). I recommend the kimchi Raman to anyone who loves some spice and their sushi is always fresh and delicious. If you are an alchohol drinker, I recommend their flavored sake. If not, their Bubble drinks are always a good choice. read more

This place was an absolute diamond in the rough. The usual mall food has a consensus of being pretty mediocre but this sushi spot is amazing. The service was really good as well, everybody was really friendly and happy to have my girlfriend and I eat here. The ambiance was also very surprising as well, the scene swap from the mall to a restaurant was really surprising in the way Nippon was able to create an environment that made you feel comfortable while eating their delicious food! This sushi spot is a 10/10, don't let the mall deceive you from eating here. :D read more

Friends and I came here to eat while exploring the mall. We were all excited to eat here after seeing all the people waiting in line. I had the crunchy shrimp, and the seafood spicy ramen which was good. Just a long wait for the sushi. Everything was all fine until my friend found a fly in her soup. Plus our server was taking a long time in coming back to our table. read more

The sushi we ordered was amazing! We got the Special King Roll which contained spicy tuna, smoked salmon, BBQ eel, tempura shrimp, yellowtail, and escolar. Topped with fresh tuna, fresh salmon, tilapia, avocado, crab stick, eel sauce, mayo, and sweet chili. It was well prepared and very delicious! My husband and I both ordered the bang bang shrimp bento box and we were not very satisfied with how the bang bang shrimp was prepared because it was like a shrimp tempura bang bang shrimp and that is not how we are used to when it comes to bang bang shrimp. We also got miso soups and those were nice and hot and very tasty! We got the dumplings in the bento box and those were delicious and filled very well! This place is small but cute and the customer service was excellent! read more

Never does a day go by that I don't truly love everything and everyone at Nippon. Chuck and Anne, the owners, are a true gem in Pensacola, who also run Tai Pei on Airport, which is equally as delicious. But my husband and I LOVE getting ramen bowls (pork is the bee's knees) and the Chuck roll to split while we are out and a about. Their ramen is what we call our comfort food when we've had a hard day or week. We feel like Ponyo afterward and need a nap. Then our leftovers because the serving size is amazing! This is hands down my favorite place at Cordova mall, and I almost eat there at least once a week, twice this past week. Thank you for being and staying awesome! read more

Food was bland, but costumer service was amazing and if I were anybody else make sure you ask questions before ordering your food

The nippon chicken was good, but since we got it delivered it wasn't crunchy.I love the spider maki roll, it was good.The pot stickers were decent but the sauce wasn't good.It seems like soy sauce or may have been soy sauce instead of a dumpling or ponzu sauce. The katsu wasn't bad, and the fried rice was good. read more

2 Star should be good enough. I came to the place to get a bowl of ramen.

I had tonkotsu ramen and taste like regular beef soup, less toppings and noodles had a weird texture too. read more

Nippon Sushi - "TONKOTSU RAMEN" - Japanese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Mini Reiteration Review Time: Nippon Sushi It is not very often I go into the mall, but I had to pick up a few things. I was absolutely starving at 2:00, so I figured why not get some ramen. Hopefully today's ramen is just as good as it has always been from this restaurant? This restaurant was still packed at 2:00, so I was very lucky that I was able to get a table today. The service here is always so friendly and fast. Today, I decided to try the Tantanmen Pork Ramen, which (as it says on the menu) is their spicy tonkatsu broth ramen. I also decided to try their udon noodles today, which I really enjoy due to the fluffy yet slightly dense texture of the noodle. I don't know what they put in this broth today (maybe a slipper or a whole pig), but this was by far the richest perfectly seasoned ramen broth I have had here in town today. The broth had a deep rich smooth pork flavor, not overly salted, and the chili oil just heighten the flavor; but not spicy at all. I loved the the slightly sweet cut up pieces of chashu pork, so I could enjoy it with each bite of my perfectly cooked udon noodles. I do think next time I will stick with just the regular ramen noodles, because the overall taste of the regular ramen noodles would have probably went better with the broth. Overall Review: I can not wait to come back here and have another bowl...hands down the best ramen to this day...110% satisfied with this ramen and service!!! read more

This probably my very least sushi place to go... maybe just today im not sure but their sushi rice were overcooked. Im very particular with my sushi and this is not what I expect to have.. Its disappointing especially if you order 2 rolls of your favorite sushi and they don't taste the same. Rice is a big deal when it comes to sushi and the manager made me feel that I don't know what Im talking about. The manager said "how can I help you?" And I said your rice is overcooked and he said" Ive been doing this for 30years?!??? So im the ignorant cant tell if this rice is overcooked or not. This is not the first time I ordered and ate at this place so I can tell whether this is how they made their sushi or not. Very nice sir. Nice customer service thats why Im giving you a 1star just because. read more

Overall the food was delicious. The ramen noodles were a little over cooked, the sushi rice was a little soggy, and the ramen noodle broth could be a little thicker. However, the nice red tuna and other fish tasted pretty fresh. The ginger was also fresh pickled ginger. What really intrigued me the most was the pop shrimp. It is like popcorn shrimp with spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce glazed with crab and some sesame seeds wrapped with a waffle cone. The tuna tataki was very different. Instead of ponzu sauce, it is drizzled with spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce. The tuna was well seared and it was delicious. The service was great. If you ever do go here for food, look for a waitress name Fang. She is great. read more

Nippon Sushi is inside Cordova Mall just past the food court. It's a small sit down restaurant. You can sit at the bar, a booth, or a table. We went at 4:30 on a Sunday and it was full except for the bar but we wanted a table so we killed some time walking around. When we came back 20 minutes later it was pretty empty. They close at 6 on Sunday. Food: Under 'Ramen' on the menu you can choose which meat and which broth you want. I chose pork with pork broth and it was outstanding! Lots of layers of flavor happening here. Very rich, smoky, not spicy at all, but sometimes you get some spice in the back of your throat for a second. It has 3 cuts of pork, one of them pork belly which adds to the unctuousness of the broth. I was SO impressed with this and so happy I ordered it! Good, good stuff. We tried the egg rolls and they had a funky flavor I couldn't discern. They were fine, but personally I wouldn't order them again. My son enjoyed his steamed salmon. I tried it and thought it tasted too fishy for me. The glaze is nice though. I tried his miso soup and it was very good! I didn't get a picture of my husband's meal until after he started eating. He was hungry because his entre came out about 10 minutes after ours, but and enjoyed his Pork belly and rice. They deep fry it, and it's very tasty with a nice 5 spice flavor. The fried rice still leaves something to be desired. It needed some soy sauce. I'd skip it and get steamed rice. The cucumber salad was just ok. The Dragon Maki sushi was good. I wasn't floored by it, but it was fresh, and if you add the wasabi, ginger, and some soy sauce it's even better. All in all everyone was pleased with their meals. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was moderately slow, but not too bad. We'd definitely go back and try other menu items. Don't miss the ramen though, it's worth stopping in by itself! read more

Sadly, this is the best place in Pensacola to get a bowl of ramen. I say the word sadly because I've just been privileged to have amazing ramen around the world. Here at Nippon Sushi, the taste of the broth and pork is actually pretty good/tasty. I'm pretty certain that they don't take hours and hours to make the broth and it's probably from some package, but it was acceptable, especially in the setting of the lackluster Pensacola Asian cuisine scene. The pork flavor was there and the noodles didn't taste like cardboard. It was easy to finish the bowl and subsequently sit back in satisfaction. Located in the Cordova Mall, you'll see lots of youngins hanging around here, dining-in or taking-out. If you need a ramen fix, this is my grade A recommendation (and only) in P-cola. read more

Not the best sushi I've ever had (I mean, we're at a mall for Christ's sake). But food is sustenance, right? Wrong! Food should always be the best. So I guess I went to the wrong place. I got the bento box with a crunchy roll, cucumber salad (because they were out of miso soup), and pot stickers. The fact that they were out of miso soup is interesting. read more

Nippon Sushi - Kimchi Ramen With Pork / Surf and Turf roll - Japanese Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I do apologize for such a long post. I saw this place one day from shopping in the Cordova mall. Decided to finally try this place out with my sister and our kids. I have a 9 year old and a 10 month old baby. She has a 2 year old. To me, this is key to why I'm rating this place so poorly. When we arrived, the hostess had us wait about 5 minutes to be seated at our table. We get to the table and the hostess and waitress starts to walk away and I asked if they could grab me a high chair. The waitress just says "no". Okay..... No what? The hostess says they don't have high chairs. The waitress looked at us with agitation probably because we had 3 children with us. In a professional environment, just act professional. We can see your face. No problem, I have a portable booster seat out in my car and I went out to get it. When I get back, I see that there are only 2 cups of water on the table. We asked our waitress twice for some water for our kids. She comes back with just one cup of water. I mean, really? We were ordering boba tea for after dinner, that's why we only got water with our meals. We ended up ordering 4 ramen bowls and 1 roll of sushi and also 2 boba teas. Now that is a lot of food for just a couple of moms and 2 kids... with one only 2 years old! The ramen was bland and not too special. The spicy ramen was not spicy at all. We get our check and we see that there is a gratuity. The gratuity is for 20%. I feel this is something that should have been brought up in the beginning. We would have tipped regardless but they should have told us when they sat us down. Forcing us to tip 20% gratuity with mediocre service. When we called to complain, the owner said "it's on the sign 5 people gratuity is added". I didn't realize my 10 month old baby needed to be tended to. They didn't even have a high chair for her. They didn't give our 9 year old and 2 year old waters. So I guess I just don't understand how they were "serving 5 people". If I could give this place a 0 star rating, I would! This place is not family or kid friendly. If you don't want children in, just make the place 21+. Don't include in your people count if you don't have a seat for someone. Example, no high chair for my baby. How did you include her in my group count? This place ruined our night out with our kids. We won't be coming back. Don't waste your time or money. read more
