Tried this place for the first time and it was okay not the best. Service was decent as well the ambiance is quite intimate as well quiet in the restaurant Here's what we tried Clear soup & miso soup - 8/10 it was good nothing was wrong there Seaweed salad - 5/10 wasn't the best, taste a bit odd to me + no flavor. California, Philadelphia, rock and roll and spider roll - 6.5/10 some stuff were abit interesting in the roll that I didn't really like. Overall it was a great experience to try but I wouldn't say I would come back though. read more

One of the best sushi spots in Jax, love being regulars here! Super friendly and attentive staff. Place is always clean and the set up is cozy and peaceful. Booths make dinners feel intimate and music is very calming. Menu is amazing, lots of options and appropriately priced. Rolls are so fresh and delicious. Love that their sushi is made proportionately and are the perfect bites; not just globs of rice made to be taken in 2-3 bites like other places - biggest sushi pet peeve! Here you taste all the ingredients you're expecting and everything is just great quality. Favorite rolls are Houston, Brown Dragon and Green Island! Their hibachi is also amazing. Steak and veggies are cooked to perfection. Never had a dry steak here. Veggies are brilliantly slightly undercooked so that it still has a good bite to it and not soggy. Fried rice is flavorful. The sauce is delicious, more on the saucy side, and not overly salty like other places. Overall just love this place. read more

The chicken katsu was my favorite dish. The portion size and flavor was delicious, and it wasn't dry compared to many other katsu dishes at other places. Sushi was good, it tasted very fresh especially with the lemon on my sushi special order. Ambiance and environment is really nice compared to other sushi restaurants nearby. Dark setting and booths available for dates or family dine-ins! Definitely recommend this restaurant for a good sushi sit down place! read more

If your looking for an excellent sushi restaurant in the Southside Blvd area of town this is it! This is a wonderful little jewel located in the strip of shops at corner of old baymeadows and southside blvd - out in front the Publix. The restaurant is small, very clean and well lit. The service was great, we were well taken care of, drinks and food was brought out at steady pace, and all requests for sauces and extra wasabi were delivered quickly. The food was fantastic! We ordered sushi, several special rolls, cooked veggies and noodles, shrimp tempura, everything was delicious! They also have bento boxes and authentic katsu donburi with egg on top, and offer several domestic and Japanese beers and sake. This is definitely my new favorite sushi restaurant in Jacksonville and I happily recommend this establishment to you. read more

We really enjoyed the sushi today . we decided to go in for lunch and yes they were open... ;-) We had the yellowtail, tuna and the eel very good , very delicious the edamame is not spicy it's only steamed which is unfortunate because we do love the spicy edamame. We also enjoyed some of their seaweed salad and their salmon rolls... For our first time here we really liked it. read more

I rarely leave bad reviews but wow. My family of 5 came here starving so we ordered 3 apps, 5 rolls, one hibachi dish. Literally nothing was good, everything was just edible. Edamame and love seafood apps were very small. Rose roll was as expected but there are only 5 pieces of sushi. Rainbow, Fuji, and dynamite rolls were just ok. Steak hibachi was very tough and the fried rice is some of the worst my dad has ever had. I am giving 2 (as opposed to 1) star because the hot sake was good. read more

This is our go to Sushi restaurant! Everything we have had so far is delicious. My hubby really enjoys their seafood soup. Savory broth with fresh veggies chock full of salmon, squid, shrimp without any fishiness. All the ingredients taste so fresh! Their sushi rolls are wonderful. I love the sunshine roll. The addition of super thinly sliced lemon is what sets this sunshine roll apart from other restaurants. The staff are so accommodating, quick, and friendly. I have some allergies to shrimp and avocado (I know! It's sad!). They are so willing to adjust some of their rolls for me so that I could enjoy some of the rolls made with shrimp by substituting with a seafood I could eat. We have also enjoyed their gyoza, egg rolls, and clear soup. It's great to finish off our meal with complimentary fresh cut pineapple. I forgot to take pics! Will add them next time! read more

Absolutely amazing sushi. Very fresh. Excellent menu. Fantastic service. Extremely clean restaurant. Hidden gem for sure

Once again... superb sushi and service. Started with Miso Soup and Seaweed Salad. Followed with beautiful sushi that was delicious. I started with their lunch special of three rolls for $11.95. I chose Key West roll, Escolar roll, and Tuna Avocado roll. I added a special of the day True Love roll. Beautiful roll with lobster salad, shrimp tempura, fish eggs, and eel sauce on top. The inside was loaded too but I don't remember what it was. I do know it was delicious and then some. I always enjoy the presentations here as they are always creative and beautiful. The service is always top notch as well. I personally think this is a hidden sushi restaurant in the Baymeadows and Southside area. The ambiance is very inviting as well. read more

DO NOT GO HERE FOR SUSHI. Sushi was warm. Enough said, but I'll go on. It fell apart because it wasn't rolled or prepared correctly. And did not seem fresh. In all of my life, this is the only time I've ever left sushi on the plate. read more

Stopped in a couple of weeks ago for lunch. The place wasn't that busy. I ordered the bento box. Food was decently priced and good. The service was good as well. Apparently they have amazing chicken Katsu which is what my co-worker ordered. For what I believe was $10 they received a big ole bowl. Might have to give that a try next time. read more

Unassuming little place in a shopping center. Very clean, nicely decorated and nice staff, but food was hit or miss. Sushi rolls were great - lots of fresh fish and quite large. However, the bento box was just so-so. Mostly fried items; tempura shrimp and veggies, some dumplings and I think banana(?). Bland flavor and a bit oily. The tuna roll was excellent, but chicken teriyaki was tough and pretty flavorless. Based on the reviews we must've just ordered wrong. read more

Open Sushi looks like a Chinese fast food joint from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The inside has a casual yet intimate ambiance. Cool decor! They're located next to Snowgenix in Deerwood Village Shopping Center. My wife and I ordered a plate of their Sweet Volcano roll for appetizers with clear soup for me and miso soup for wifey and bowls of salad with ginger dressing. We had the Chicken Katsu and Beef Shogamaki for our Mains with fried rice. The Beef Shogamaki reminds me of Bistec (one of my favorite Filipino beef dish). Flavorful! We ate everything. Very nice service all around. We purchased a $20 food certificate through the LocalFlavor app for $7.50. That's pretty much a free meal there.

Well damn. Open Sushi is a bit of a hidden gem in this unassuming strip mall. Since I've been working a lot at Coffee Grinder lately, I thought I'd give them a shot when the hunger pains set in. After one visit, I'd absolutely return! I walked in at a weird time. 4:50pm on a Saturday. As one would guess, the place was empty. I certainly didn't mind since the business gave little old me their undivided attention! The restaurant is laid out fairly well, with many small booths, an even smaller sushi bar, and a long wall of seating. College football was on, so I opted to sit smack dab in front of their television. Cutting right to the chase, the Dancing Tuna and Treasure Island rolls were both great. When I eat sushi, I'm mostly looking for freshness, and I feel I got my money's worth here. The roll with the sliver of jalapeño topping was the bee's knees if you ask me. A smidge pricier than some of the other local sushi restaurants, but the stellar service more than made up for it. Very happy after this visit and I'd encourage anyone who likes sushi to give Open Sushi your business! read more

The wait staff are very friendly. The presentation of the food is above average. However, the food is lacking in taste. The vegetables were basically raw and had no seasoning. The fried rice tasted like it came frozen on the grocery store shelf. They also up charged $1 which is fine but it wasn't on the menu and I was not told about it. Most other customers got sushi. Maybe teriyaki isn't their strong suit. There are other restaurants in the area with better flavor that I'd recommend trying instead. I went on a Saturday night around 7pm and it was empty except for 3 tables. read more

Small sushi place in a strip mall setting. Surprisingly delicious! Great service, phenomenally fresh sushi, quiet atmosphere. It was nice that they were able to make perfect recommendations, have a great - fast paced service and even brought this cool pineapple chunk as dessert! Great lunch special prices too! read more

I had heard really good things about this place and it DID NOT disappoint. My wife got the beef fried rice and it was phenomenal. Beef was tender and seasoned great. I got a house roll and spicy salmon roll. My favorite thing about it was how fresh it was. Sushi eaters can tell when the fish isn't fresh but this was absolutely fantastic. The next time I go I am definitely exploring the sushi menu more. Extremely good food for a fair price with friendly service. By far best sushi I've had in JAX. read more

We went there yesterday for lunch. Kinda pricey for lunch and no military discount. Their fried rice is legit! Both the pork and chicken fried rice were fantastic with peas, carrots and actual meat and eggs. Jalapeño appetizer was fried and stuffed with crab meat and cheese! Excellent. Soups were on point. Sushi's was fantastic. They are lacking on drink choices, and their iced tea brand is not tasty. Stick to coke. Overall a good experience. read more

Dined at the sushi bar yesterday and had a great meal here. I would definitely visit again. The wait staff was very attentive and my order was made in great time. I ordered the 14pc sashimi dinner and the Houston roll. The Houston roll is seared on the outside and absolutely filled with great flavors. The freshness of the sushi was perfect. The chef was nice and also added that the Houston roll had been a popular roll there because of the flavors in it. If there's anything that I could nitpick: I wouldn't normally consider putting 2 pieces of cooked eel on my sashimi dinner. It really doesn't seem to qualify and you wouldn't normally see that choice added in other restaurants. read more

Open Sushi - Houston Roll and 14 piece sashimi dinner. - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I came here to meetup with a friend and her fiance, and to meet her sister and nephew as they had stopped in Jax for a visit. They decided to come hear to eat lunch before heading back home. I wasn't really in the mood to eat sushi on the Fourth of July but the rules went out the window when I saw that they had a squid appetizer. Imma sucker for good squid. The place was of course pretty dead but that didn't stop us from having a good time. When it came to ordering, I was definitely getting the coolest squid app name I've heard to date...the Tiger Eyes. This was krab and salmon wrapped in seared squid. While there was only 4 pieces I was still very happy to eat it and it just melted in my mouth. I didn't want to eat too much because I wanted to make room for BBQ later because like I said, Fourth of July. I ordered just one roll which I knew had to be bangin'. From the extensive list, I chose the Special Spring Roll: fresh tuna and mango, spicy tuna and seaweed salad on top. Share? Nope. All 8 pieces were all for me. That's greedy-talk isn't it? Everyone else was enjoying their food and I tend to order things that are a little out of safe zone. I like the addition of mangoes in my sushi for a tropical sweet flavor to my fish. They were so good. The service was really great and I believe the manager checked on us several times and wished us a Happy Fourth as we paid and left. This place really surprised me with there selection of sushi and it isn't too far from home. I'll definitely come back. read more

Open Sushi is wonderful! I really enjoy dining here and cannot find one piece of criticism. The service here is outstanding. The waitresses are attentive, they pay attention and are very nice. They are not overbearing but are quick to refill drinks and are available in case you need anything. For me, they are also patient because it can take me a while to decide what I want. The food is very good. The fish tastes fresh and the rolls are rolled well and you can tell that care is put into the preparation of your meal. There are lots of choices for raw and cooked sushi. There are also many other options for noodle and rice dishes. The inside of the restaurant is simple yet adequately decorated and feels very peaceful. There are booths and tables as well as the sushi bar. The restaurant is located on Old Baymeadows Road near the Subway in the Publix/CVS parking lot. There is ample parking available and most spots are close which is great in case it is raining like crazy! read more

I'm going to let you in a little secret. That little secret is that if you visit Open Sushi, you're going to walk out of there completely satisfied, with a wallet that's not much lighter, and you'll want to come back as soon as humanly possible. I've had my share of strip mall sushi before and it usually tops out at "decent". Open Sushi turns that expectation on its head, and absolutely blew me away with the quality and preparation of their product. It was so good we came back one week later to make sure our minds weren't playing tricks on us, and again walked out full of sushi with our heads spinning at how great it was. During our visits, here's what we feasted on: Rainbow Roll Kiss Roll Godzilla Roll Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Roll Crazy Roll American Dream Roll Diamond Roll Green Seaweed Roll Alaska Roll Salmon Nigiri Uni Nigiri Yellowtail Nigiri I won't bore you with the details of what was in each one. Suffice to say, it was some of the freshest and most delicious sushi I've had in ages. Each piece of fish was melt-in-your-mouth tender, served just below room temperature. The rolls were perfectly composed, sauced just right (if they had a sauce), and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. Service was excellent on both trips. The servers are very friendly, helpful, and even when it was very busy on our second trip, our food came out very promptly. Don't sleep on this one. You will absolutely not regret it. read more

YUM!!! Seriously some of the best sushi I've had here in Jax. Very fresh tuna! Crazy roll was delicious and flavorful, not something I usually would order but I'm glad I did. Miso soup was great as well, actually miso and not the clear kind. read more

I was excited to try Open Sushi because I love Sushi and all the positive things I have heard about this place. The staff is very attentive and the restaurant is modern in decor. Nice music playing at just the right volume. The lunch specials are reasonably priced and the selection is good. You can choose the two roll or three roll and both come with soup or salad. My salad was flavorful with a nice ginger dressing. I was having lunch with a friend and we were sharing so the server suggested all the rolls in one plate. What a nice idea. My favorite rolls were the Spicy Tuna and Tuna Avocado. The rolls were very filling and made with fresh ingredients. This is a really good sushi restaurant and I look forward to returning. read more

2016 Yelp 100 Challenge 65/100 Love, , love this place. Eat here at least once a week. All the servers are very friendly and make sure you get great service. The owner, Josh, is awesome and takes great care of us. Not only is the service top notch, but the food is also excellent. It's by far the best sushi in Jacksonville and sometimes it's the best sushi anywhere. The great thing about Open is that they also serve various other Japanese dishes and they are also very good. I like the Bento box and the pork or chicken katsu the best. But the sukiyaki and noodle dishes are also tasty. You can't go wrong here with anything you order, but if you like sushi then you've got to give it a go. read more

We love this place! I took my kids ages 10-14 and we ordered 10 rolls, some appetizers and a kids meal. I am a vegetarian and they had such a great selection. I had two sweet potato rolls, an avocado roll, a spicy veggie roll, an asparagus roll, and a cucumber, cream cheese and avocado roll spicy. All of my rolls were wrapped in soy paper. We also ordered the Godzilla roll, a spicy tuna roll, a salmon roll, calamari, a Boston roll and another I can't remember. I also ordered cold sake. The service was exceptional, and we all loved the sushi. My daughter and her friend had never had sushi and they love it. I highly recommend the sweet potato rolls. Everyone loves them. The menu is large and in addition to sushi they have hibachi and Szechuan. They also have many entree options and lunch specials. I will definitely be back this is our new sushi restaurant for sure. What a hidden jem! Bonus- at the end of the meal they brought us this pineapple boat(bird? I'm not sure). Lovely touch. To the staff- we were the ones with the dinosaur eating rice. You were right, we loved our food. Thank you for the service. read more
