Food is good! Prices are very fair. Choices are excellent. A bonus is the way the treated us. We'd just been refused service at one of their competitors (think Green) across the street when they learned we needed an accommodation for a disability in our party. The RAINBOW SUSHI STAFF was AWESOME! Great experience overall. read more

Great food / sushi / hibachi and service for a very affordable price. What else can you ask for. Make sure to finish what you order as they have no waste policy. read more

Holy guacamole, Batman! Multiple people have told us how fab Rainbow Sushi is & it truly lived up to the hype! We were absolutely confused when we sat down, had no clue how to order after sitting for a few minutes. We saw the basket of papers and pens on the table but weren't sure what to do...very thankful the table next to us helped us order correctly! The quality of everything we ordered was top notch!! All the hibachi choices were incredible, my favorites were the shrimp & fresh vegetables! The sushi was equally delicious! My favorites were the spicy tuna, Dragon roll, and the rainbow roll! Staff was very quick with food delivery & cleaning empty plates throughout our meal. We enjoyed ourselves and will absolutely be back! read more

This is the "Fast & Furious" of Jacksonville sushi. It's really good, but not at the top, and that's because it's the perfect blend of reasonable price and surprisingly good quality and all you care to eat. I've been coming here for a solid 5 years now, and always kept it a secret. But now that more are discovering it (it's never empty, and there's usually always someone standing in the tiny lobby waiting for a table) it's time for me to spill the Edamame beans. Ambiance is average - and that's not saying it's bad. It's Japanese minimalist in all its glory without being sparse or vacuous. Service is always outstanding and exceeds expectations. Attentive servers come often to ensure your drinks are refilled and your tickets are picked up and delivered to the kitchen or sushi chefs. Empty plates are taken away as if it's automatically programmed into every person who walks past your table. This is always a nice approach when a restaurant pulls it off! Food is WAY ABOVE expectations for Jacksonville sushi, and surprisingly so for an all-you-care-to-eat place. We all know that Jacksonville has it's share of mediocre sushi plces. From the menu, my favorites are the huge hand rolls, the Edamame, gyozo, and specialty rolls. Also, the spicy krab soup and any of the krab salads. The only thing I consistently shy away from are any rolls with cream cheese inside. In my mind, cream cheese screams "I don't know what real Japanese is" and has no place in a sushi roll. But that's just me. Another recommendation for you -- order anything that has eel sauce in or on it unless it's served with cream cheese. Oh, you're a beef eater? Well, there's a good selection of all-you-can-eat beef to choose from along with a number of non-sushi items on the menu. Try the hibachi steak! But still, it's mostly Japanese, so don't expect typical restaurant fare. But if you're not into sushi, there still is a lot to offer here like steak, chicken, shrimp, and probably at least one soup or salad you will enjoy. Ask your server - they're always super helpful. I hope you go and like this as much as I do. I go at least once a month (or more) because it's a great value and the quality is good. read more

Such a fun experience. We came during a week night and there was no wait. It's a small place and seemed very clean. The service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and our food was always quick and fresh. For the price, they have an amazing selection of sushi rolls and I will definitely be back. read more

So good! We went for the lunch AYCE and are still stuffed 8 hours later! Our orders came out super fast and the food was fresh and delicious. The kitchen orders (steak hibachi, chicken noodles and ginger salad) were a nice surprise - I didn't realize anything other than sushi would be an option. Beware that the portions are LARGE and they have a good waste fee, so only order a few things at a time. Servers were very polite and quick to grab our order tickets. We will definitely be back!! read more

Rainbow Sushi - So much good for a fantastic price!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Good all you can eat sushi place if you're in the area. You fill out a paper with your seat number and you can just order as you go. They do have a waste fee if you don't finish your sushi so come hungry! read more

Honestly, I am surprised my husband hasn't asked for the owners of this place to just rent us out a spot in the back- because we practically live here. I am not even kidding when I say that we come here as often as we possibly can. The food is always a hit and consistently exquisite. The hibachi steak is always a favorite of ours and you really cannot beat the price. Surprisingly, the vibes are one of our favorite things about this spot because they always have such bangers playing on their playlist. Their playlist is practically our liked songs playlist on Spotify My son demolishes food here and we have built so many amazing family memories here. Please continue to support this establishment & help them become a lifetime staple here in Jax! read more

If you want your fill of sushi/Japanese food, this is the place to go! It's AYCE but it's made to order. The sushi is fresh and the hibachi/fried items are good too. Highly recommend the fried gyoza and hibachi shrimp. The service is good, but if you go on the weekends, it'll be a packed house and it'll take a little longer, but we think it's worth it. read more

Pretty much what you would expect from an all you can eat sushi joint. The sushi was not bad and the service was fast and friendly. Many options to choose from including sushi, hand rolls, appetizers, noodles, and hibachi meats. read more

Delicious, good ambiance, and the servers are attentive. The price is great also. If you go on the weekend expect service to be a little slow due to the kitchen being slammed with orders and the restaurant being at 100% capacity. read more

It's ok. Hit or miss. And that's the issue. I think I'm done with them. Sometimes it's not bad but sometimes it's like sketchy so good luck.

came here for the $15.99 AYCE lunch special and was not disappointed! the AYCE menu wasn't that big compared to other sushi restaurants, but what they did have surpassed my expectations. highlights for me were the salmon nigiri and salmon avocado roll, which tasted fresh and very good. i am definitely coming back next time i'm in jacksonville! read more

They have a decent All You Can Eat lunch menu. It wasn't too busy but we went right when they opened at 11. When you are seated they tale your drink order and you have the menu on the table along with papers to write down your orders. The waiters walk around and collect the orders quickly. The food comes out quickly as well. Our son lpves their clear soup, noodles, and habachi steak. I really enjoyed all of the cooked rolls (being pregnant it gets my "sushi fix" out). My husband went hard on all the raw sushi and was impressed at the freshness and quality for an AYCE. Some of the other places we have been to that is AYCE seem to be rushed, and have small tables, but Rainbow was spacious with booth and table options. We have gone twice now and would for sure reccommend it if your in the area. read more

We have been coming here consistently for 3+ years and now by consistently I mean at least twice a month, it is the I my place my kids ever want to eat and it is the only affordable way to do sushi with the family. The food is always fresh and delicious and the service is outstanding! A great place for families or a date night. Definitely recommend for an overall wonderful experience read more

Rainbow sushi serves freshly made to order items for a great price. They have sushi, hibachi items and soups included for the one low price.

Calling my sushi connoisseurs! This restaurant is a great AYCE sushi option! During lunch hours, it's $15.99 which I felt was reasonable. All of the sushi we recieved was amazing and we also enjoyed a few of their appetizers: steak fried rice, vegetable tempura, fried krab cheese & spicy krab salad. I especially liked the fried krab cheese as it's something I haven't had before. Very clean and quiet atmosphere. A great date spot. read more

Not the "best" sushi we've ever had but definitely worth $20 per person for AYCE. This place can get pretty packed but again, totally worth it. Service was okay. Our waiter didn't check up on us very much other than to grab our order, didn't refill our waters either but it is what it is. Super chill place with anime playing on the tv. Can never go wrong with AYCE with good quality food. The fried sushi came out hot which is awesome. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Great cheap all you can eat sushi! Taste: 3/5, Value 4/5, Service 4/5 We went for lunch on a weekday which was $15.99 per person ($16.99 for weekend lunch). There is a good variety of sushi and kitchen options to order. Server was attentive and took our ordering sheets and brought food out quickly. We were a little disappointed that there was no unagi options (although at this price point it makes sense). The salmon nigiri was a little chewy and not that flavorful. Our favorite rolls were the mountain and amazing tuna rolls. The tempura rolls were a little over fried and hard. The chicken was pretty tender and marinated well. Overall decent choice for a cheap all you can eat option, but the quality of sushi is just okay. read more

Very nice selection. Fresh made so takes a little bit to get to your table. Not a buffet, but very good service to bring all you can eat. Light crispy tempura chicken. Large fresh sushi rolls. read more

They have some pretty great quality food for being all-you-can-eat sushi. Also, you just have to pay slightly more, and you can include the premium stuff like eel and spider-rolls. It's definitely good value, especially with inflation the way it is. And yes, my black dragon roll and spider roll were both good lol. The hand rolls were maybe a little stingy on the amount of fish, but I get it. Anyways, what impressed me the most was actually the non-sushi stuff. The steamed gyoza was soft without being sticky. The meat and skin were both very consistent with a generic but nice flavor. I don't think they made this, but it can still be good. The agedashi tofu looked underwhelming, but was scalding hot and the texture was on-point. Finally, I ordered some veggie tempura on a whim, and it was such a nice surprise. A lot of American-Japanese joints make some truly awful tempura. It's not supposed to be a dry and bland piece of sadness. It's also not just a mediocre after-thought either. There are Japanese chains that specialize in tempura just like American fried seafood chains (except the Japanese ones are better), and they'll fry every seafood under the sky. /rant This tempura was actually juicy, and the batter was nicely light and flaky and fluffy. It was so good that I would love it if the chefs here made tempura fish. Probably almost no one would order it....but I would. read more

Rainbow is a fairly new AYCE sushi spot that was rebranded from what was previously Sake House. While we didn't have any major complaints, I would say that the rating is a little closer to 3.5 stars, but would rather round up than down in hopes that they'll improve a little with some more time under their belt. The menu options are very typical for an AYCE sushi/hibachi, and quality of food is on par with their competitors. I did find their hibachi options to be a little bland, but did like that the sashimi was cut nice and thin, as I have been to other places that give you more of a chunk rather than a slice. Price wise, I believe they might be just a tad cheaper, but their prices do vary depending on when you visit, with weekends being the most expensive. My biggest complaint, and the reason why I think 3.5 stars is a little more appropriate, was the service. Without it even been busy, It was just soooo slow, and took forever for food to come out. Even simple things like a ginger salad or cucumbers too quite a long time to finally arrive. Perhaps it's intentional to prevent you from eating more since your stomach tends to settle when waiting for more food to arrive, or perhaps it's just growing pains, but I do hope that aspect of the experience improves. All in all, it was a decent experience, but I just think that there isn't really anything that sets them apart from any of the other AYCE places around town. read more

Highly recommended. Food was good and staff was friendly. Price was very decent. Will return for sure.

Great sushi and great value. Made to order for each piece you order really good. Lunch is a value too.

Came here for the AYCE lunch. It was average at best. The gyoza were pretty bad and stuffed mostly with vegetables. The Shumai were these tiny deep fried bites which in no resemble the real thing. The shrimp tempura was surprisingly authentic however. When it came to the sushi nigiri, the tuna was watery and flavorless. The one bright spot was the tilapia which they called white fish. It was tender and flavorful. They also serve escolar which I don't see many sushi places do as it can cause stomach distress. The specialty rolls like the shrimp tempura roll were flavorful and a nice addition to the meal though. I'd say it's a good place to try if you like more americanized sushi. read more

Fast service, always nice and respectful. The food is usually very good and they are constantly checking, picking up extra plates.

Great food and excellent customer service !!! Would definitely try again and again! I was upset I couldn't make it to them last night before closing read more

We came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Great service, quick, and easy to order. A lot of options from fried and fresh dishes. The portions are smaller and the fish were very thinly sliced but I guess that's how it goes when you have "All You Can Eat" sushi. Very affordable and friendly atmosphere! read more

If there was an option to give 3.5 stars I would have. Decided to give this place a try after seeing a few folks share their experiences. I will say, it is quite a drive for me. I typically frequent Fuji and Miya for AYCE sushi. Where as my experience wasn't bad at all, it wasn't that much different than Fuji other than it seems like majority of the servers live by the beach and there was no language barrier. The sushi was good. The menu covered a variety of familiar requests of rolls and appetizers. The food took a while to come out ..but hey. We went around lunch time...so we can say that's why ‍. If I'm being candid.. I feel like either the owner of this place is related to the owner of Fuji and they decided to share concepts.... OR... they went to Fuji and snuck a menu and recreated it. lol. One thing they should have copied is... identifying seats. They don't do this.... So, what happens is... (it happened to us yesterday) the server brings all this food, and has no idea who it goes to. So someone is bound to eat someone's food. All in all, the place is good. I'd come back, but I would have to be in the area already. The prices at the pump told me that the beaches are too far for something I can get in San Marco. read more

This is my favorite AYCE sushi in Jacksonville. Lunch is easy and dinner has both menu options that are awesome. With the higher end dinner the only things I personally pull from are the seaweed salad, sashimi, and I think one roll loaded with tuna and salmon. Even going with the regular dinner menu you get a great bang for your buck. I miss the one on third street so so much. This is just as good just farther from home. read more

Great sushi, unbelievable price for All you can eat. Deluxe dinner includes sashimi as well as sushi. Service was very attentive.

Another solid AYCE Sushi spot in the Beach Boulevard area...We had a good experience at this restaurant. Everything tasted fresh. We liked the quiet and relaxed ambience of this restaurant. Staff were super friendly and food came out quickly. We opted for the Deluxe Dinner menu and were happy with our choices. My favorite was the Superman Roll...it was delicious! I definitely preferred this sushi spot in comparison to Fuji Sushi. We can't wait to go back again and try some other items on the menu as there was just not enough room to try everything! read more

Exactly what you'd expect from all you can eat sushi made to order. I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for solid sushi and is interested in eating a lot of it. I prefer other places for a nice meal, this is a good deal for someone looking for mid quality and high quantity. The servers are attentive and fair with how they charge regarding left over pieces and errors (there was a sauce on a roll and it wasn't listed on the menu so I sent it back [allergies] and they did not charge me for the confusion.) I would definitely return when I'm in the mood for an all you can eat meal. read more

Trying a new AYCE sushi spot here in Jax. Quite a drive for us. We usually do Miya or Fuji but judging by the photos we saw they are not the same as the other options in town. Slightly smaller menu but different option for sushi rolls and sashimi. Hibachi choices are done well. Better than competition, in my opinion. Same price point as others also. Friendly waiters, but orders take a little longer to hit the table in comparison. No seat number, so dishes are just placed on the table for you to sort out. If I happen to be craving sushi and I am in the area, I would stop by and try again. read more
