Pandan Leaves - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The place is quaint and small, one may say intimate. We were greeted and immediately took a pick in the "Treat Yourself" spot. Mommee and I were seated and began our shared experience with edamame, unsalted but spicy with garlic. They were steamed and seasoned as a topper rather than together to better infuse the flavors. They were tasty and we had quite a few by the time our entrees: drunken noodles with scallops for Mommee and Thai Curry (red) with tofu for me. We ordered our preferred spice levels and when they arrived, we prayed and dived in! The drunken noodles with scallops impressed my mom, having spent time overseas while in the military, she gave it a thumbs up! I tasted one of the scallops and was pleased! Now, my Thai Curry with tofu was at spice level 6 and did NOT disappoint! The dish was fragrant, the pineapple chunks were sweet and the tofu just right! The coconut milk cooled my palate and really tied the dish together. My personal favorite in a curry is the addition of basil, but not today. The portions were healthy and most of our dishes went home with us. There's an all you can eat menu, of which we didn't order mostly because we were told by the waitress that she preferred the "table" pick from one menu or the other. I didn't like that since we're paying for whatever we ordered, but we complied. read more

Pandan Leaves - Sushi and wings - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The food here is absolutely amazing!! The service was definitely lacking at some point, but I see they are under new ownership and working actively to improve on this. We have been to around 10 or more AYCE sushi spots in Jax and this is by far the absolute best place. This and Rainbow sushi. We love the Akari roll, and everything is so beyond fresh. The veggies are all crisp and crunchy, the fish is so fresh. The hibachi salmon is the best in all of the sushi spots in Jax. You can tell they use fresh fish for it, not frozen fillets. The prices are very reasonable for us, especially considering my husband can chow down as much as a small bear would The actual vibes in the restaurant is beautiful. Come on in and try for yourself! read more

Stumbled upon this place on my way to the airport. Amazed to find out that there is a place in Jacksonville that I can get Mie Goreng and Nasi Goreng. We ordered both entree and they were amazing and delicious. They offer all you can eat sushi and appetizer also but opted to do ala carte to taste these entree and didn't regret it. Staff was helpful and service was fast. read more

Trying something new here! Reason for visiting: Dinner Day & Time: Tuesday around 7 pm Party of: 2 Reservations: n/a Order Type: take-out Waiter: N/a Service: Fast. Ordered over the phone and was done in the time they said Ambiance: didn't stick around to catch a vibe Food Order: -Appetizer: crab ragoon- very oily and probably would have been better if it wasn't take out. -Drink: -Entree: Thai pineapple fried rice with shrimp- order this with shrimp sauce to add more flavor. A bite with pineapple makes it better but it kinda lacked flavor for me. Extras: Portion Size: 5 ragoons and at least two cups of fried rice Conclusion: I think I need to dine in at this place. Staff was friendly, but my meal was just okay. read more

Here is my overall review of Pandan Leaves: Ambiance- 3.5/5- It was a small quaint restaurant. Nothing too special but it was nice that they had a nice outdoor spot in the back. They also had a private area in the back which could be utilized for a group. Service- 5/5- The sweetest people! They were very kind and made sure that we were always checked on and made sure our orders. They are Indonesian owned and it was great talking with their team. Food- 4.5/5- Overall, solid and good menu especially for their all you can eat. Portions were generous. Seafood on the sushi was fresh! Definitely coming back when in the area again! read more

4/5 This was our second visit, and it was a much better experience! The all-you-can-eat sushi and Asian cuisine for just $16.99 per person is a great deal. The service was fast and friendly, the restaurant was clean, and overall, it's an excellent value for the price. Our first visit didn't go so well because both of our orders were overly seasoned--too spicy and salty--but the AYCE option definitely made up for it this time. A heads-up--be mindful when ordering sushi, as they do charge for any leftovers. However, we had some leftover salad and soup and weren't charged, so it seems the policy applies only to sushi. Would definitely recommend for a satisfying and affordable meal! read more

New owner.... staff does not get the tips. My fave lady is leaving due to this crap and I'm disappointed. I will not be eating here again after today!! read more

Ordered a Mexican Sushi Roll(not pictured), it's was okay wasn't a fan of the warm cream cheese. Got a side of fried rice flavor was good but could've used an onion to boost flavor, tad bit on the oily side. Ordered Crab Rangoon, wasn't impressed very oily, a bit over cooked and filling was sweeter than any other Rangoon I've tasted. Wife ordered the Thai pineapple fried rice w/Shrimp, portion size was good flavor was okay(strong pineapple flavoring) nice sized shrimp seasoned well. Would try again in the future read more

I decided to try the bulgogi, I normally have it at an all you can eat place but it's always too much. The bulgogi at Pandan is delicious. It has a little more oil than eating directly from a grill but it's still delicious. The meal came with broccoli, rice and cucumbers. The broccoli was good too and the rice with the bulgogi was a perfect combination. The staff was very attentive and my server came at just the right time to ensure I was happy with my meal and ask if I wanted anything else. She would smile if she happened to look up and our eyes met. She was very professional with just the right amount of friendliness. There are 4 booths, 3 tables that seat 4 and a counter for sitting indoors plus outdoor seating. The restaurant isn't big but it's big enough. Their menu is very diverse with curry to kalbi to sushi and other Asian dishes. Many patrons came in as I ate. There was a variety of orders and to me that proves the chef knows their thing. This is my 3rd visit and I see many more in my future. read more

Second visit, I'm still not sure about their policy of ordering either AYCE sushi or regular menu which included sushi. I had Spicy Indonesian ramen type noodles with shrimp protein. All good portions and good flavor. The shrimp on my first visit & my repeat visit were over cooked, my only complaint. read more

Not super impressed. We came in for the AUCE Speciel but was told that was only on the weekends. Restaurant itself is decent, a soft attempt to add ambiance but seems very low budget. The food came out fairly quick. We ordered the starter platter, most of the food ojbit was good. The wontons were a bit overcooked. For dinner, I had the Thai curry, the bowl makes it look bigger than it actually is. It's was mostly sauce with little actual ingredients. It was also too sweet for me making it hard to enjoy. Server was nice enough, attentive and listened to food specifications. read more

The service is excellent! Always fast and very friendly. The food is amazing! We get different sushi rolls almost every time we go and love them. They also do an AYCE menu. The noodle and rice dishes are also really good! 10/10 recommend going. read more

Wow. It's hard to believe that this cute place has been here for two years and we had never tried it before! We went in with every intention of trying their dim sum and like the squirrels on sugar we are, got distracted by the AYCE sushi lunch instead. And, oh we are so glad we did. What we tried (all from the $17 AYCE) - clear soup (very rich flavor!) - edamame - fried gyoza - steamed gyoza - egg roll - salmon nigiri - Kimchi (I swear this was made in house. So good) - dynamite roll - TMT roll - Pandan roll The staff was kind, even though they got really busy after we arrived they still took good care of us. The food was made to order and quickly came out. All of the ingredients tasted fresh and oh so yummy. read more

Amazing experience. Was hesitant to go with other buffet-style sushi spots being my favorite but I 100% recommend! Food was great, the ladies who brought us our food were extremely kind, even talking to my children. The sushi was great, got 4 different types and liked them all. My husband isn't a sushi lover so he gets hibachi & other kitchen items and loved it as well. The biggest bonus is they have a kids menu! Was very shocked because it was extremely convenient for us as a family with 2 toddlers. (Up close of pic is showing they noticed my husband liked sweet chili sauce and added it to his plate next time he ordered without asking, so kind) read more

Tried this new restaurant for the first time and didn't have the best experience but may be worth another try... Called for take out and found out that their specials are for dine in only. It was also hard to order, the lady couldn't clarify the meals. We ended up ordering fried rice & pork egg rolls but saw that we got pork gyoza instead of egg rolls when we got home. The fried rice came with some little Asian chips and such but unfortunetly I didn't like them and would pass on them next time. read more

Pandan Leaves - Fried rice & pork gyoza (ordered pork eggrolls but got these instead) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is my 2nd visit. My wife mentioned they do an all you can eat menu now, so I figured I'd come and check it out. Honestly, since I personally don't eat sushi or sushimi, the only sections left on the AYCE menu that appeals to me is the appetizer and habachi sections, and perhaps the soups. So I was concerned about the habachi items because I was concerned about the sides such as the plain noodles (would they be too plain and bland?) And typically the grilled veggies usually contain ones I'm not keen on like zucchini, squash, & mushrooms. So what I decided to do was to order a round of items from the appetizer section and then one main item from their regular menu. So, since this is an Indonesian restaurant primarily, I decided to order the Mie Goreng as my main and then I got a spring roll, a chicken wing, a crab rangoon, a fried dumpling, and some crab salad. They provide a paper tick sheet that you write in the item number in each of the 5 boxes. Just one item per box, to not overwhelm the kitchen and reduce food waste. You can always order another round afterwards. I liked my Mie Goreng with steak, though I wish I would've ordered the fried egg sunny side up instead of over easy. The yolk was jammy which doesn't mix in as well with the noodles like a runny yolk would have. The steak was decently tender. I asked for a 5 for spice level, but felt that for me it was more like a 3. It took a while before the spice kicked in for me. All the apps I tried were good and cooked to order. The difference between the crab salad on the AYCE menu and the Kani salad on the regular menu is that the the Kani has some crab roe on top and perhaps more cucumber mixed in. Not something I'd miss anyway. I only got one round of items from the AYCE menu because I was adequately full after the Mie Goreng. Economically, what I did wasn't a cheap meal. Maybe next time I'll stick to the AYCE menu. The service was friendly. The ambiance is OK. It's not fancy. It is a small place. Pictures attached. read more

Stopped in here because we went to the aloha waffle and saw this place next door, wanted to try the buffet. Came back on a Monday night but now the buffet is only on the weekends but nothing says that. Be that as it may we stayed for the regular menu. We started with the starter tasting platter, the crab ragoons were hard. The chicken wings were also dry and hard. My boyfriends curry was huge but mostly liquid. I ordered the Thai pineapple fried rice with shrimp and scallops. It was ok and all the food came out hot. Our server was nice and attentive. Would try it again for the buffet. read more

Gave it a try today. Arrived in time for Happy Hour which is from 3-6 pm. Buy 2 signature Sushi Rolls and receive 1 classic Sushi roll free. Also got a sampling of fried rice and grilled mixed vegetables. Everything was delicious. My wife wasn't crazy about the vegetables, they added like teriyaki sauce to the veggies that made them sweeter than normal. The fried rice was delicious, sorry I didn't get picture the rice and veggies. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious. Appetizer and sushis are 10/10. Our whole family enjoyed our dining experience here. Thanks to the staff who were very kind and friendly. The place is simple and they have a private room. What I ilke the most is that they have outdoor seating which was very cute but only ideal for ala carte order. The service was also fast. The staffs are friendly. I definitely recommend this place if you are craving asian food or sushi. read more

All you can eat Asian fusion? Yes Please! They have a different menu for lunch and dinner, my favorite item is on the lunch menu and they have always made it for me at dinner. The same has been done for my wife allowing her to get a dinner item on the lunch menu. You can order up to 3 entree/ app items and 3 sushi items at a time. Refills come very quickly so you don't have to get everything at once. Sometimes the hot items and the sushi come at different times and this is nice as you never seem to be waiting. I have never had anything I didn't like, this is often the case with this type of place as they try to compromise quality for variety. Quality is top notch here. We have been about 4 times, always had the same server and will continue to go back. The only complaint I have is the tea. They use fountain tea, this is awful to begin with but serving it at an asian place makes it even worse. We look forward to our next visit soon. read more

Nice little store front/strip mall Asian fusion restaurant near River City Marketplace and JAX airport. Has both indoor and outdoor dining. The waitress was very nice and gave us a private room in the back of the restaurant. The menus includes Thai, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian barbecue, etc., so quite the selection. I got the Thai drunken noodles and an order of Kimchi. Sometimes hard to find good Kimchi around here - this was good. The noodle dish good but nothing too special. My guests got a selection of foods which they all enjoyed. They do have an average bear and wine selection as well. Overall, if you are looking for a large selection of Asian foods, this is a great place to try! read more

Just stopped in here for a quick lunch. I don't regret my decision one bit! I sat at the bar and the service was quick and responsive. The ambiance was very laid back and relaxed with some tunes playing over the speaker. The food was kind of like tapas, small plates, plenty of food to keep ordering and better yet...the lunch special was $15.99. I got so much food for what I paid for and couldn't be happier!! The sushi was decent, all the apps I tried were perfect and just the right amounts to sample each. I will say the chicken wings...could eat a whole plate of those. The sweet and spicy sauce on them was divine and they were cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back again!! read more

I am a sushi lover and have been to all AYCE sushi places in Jax, saw Pandan on instagram and decided to go try it out as it is a new place, I went on Sunday with a few friends to start the place was clean and our server was very sweet they have 2 menu options all you can eat sushi or there restaurant menu which includes other dishes. I did all you can eat sushi and did like it but not for the price it was more expensive than other AYCE sushi places with no added value to their menu for it to be more expensive. Taste was 7/10 service 9/10 the reason of my low rate is that our dinner made 2/3 of us sick the only thing we had that our other friend did not was salmon hopefully was just bad luck. read more

I stopped in for the first time today for lunch with my mom. The sushi roll was pretty good but not one I'd order again. The hibachi was also pretty good. The only thing I wasn't fond of is the sweet sauce on the veggies. My mom had the pad thai. She said it was good. They have some good happy hour specials and a nice patio area. Food came out pretty quickly which is ideal for someone popping in during their lunch break. I'll give them another try. read more
