    I wasn't sure about this place but The food here was surprisingly pretty good (reminded me of super tasty mall food court chinese from back in the day)! I rate the food 4 stars... and the overall experience I'd rate 3 stars (I wish I could give a 3.5 rating). I ordered a chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura bento box for lunch and I was expecting a small plate of food, but it was enormous. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and I enjoyed the fried rice that came with it (although there were only about 3 small pieces of carrots and so I would've liked more veggies mixed in). The shrimp tempura was crunchy and tasted good too. The box came with 4 California rolls but I'd say the sushi was mediocre at best (maybe because the steam from being closed in the box affected it by the time I'd gotten back to my office?). For that reason, If I come back I'd likely just stick to the habachi entrees. Although the place seemed neat and tidy on the inside, I did knock off a star because I wasn't too crazy about the area it's in- it was a bit rough for my tastes (I was approached by a pan handler as I left and as a lady- that made me uncomfortable). Also, I ding them on the fact that they charged .50 cents for shrimp sauce.... really!? Id rather a place add .50 into their price and just give me shrimp sauce, than make me feel like I'm being nickled and dimed. Overall, because the food tasted good, I didn't regret coming here- but I haven't decided if I'll return again.... perhaps I would with male friend or family member as security. Lol!

    Chicken and shrimp with veggies

    So a little backstory, I'm having a lazy day since I work on my birthday in a few days. Anyway, I always order chicken and mixed veggies with white rice, and add shrimp for around $12.** at China garden. Of all the Chinese restaurants in jax I've been to, the one on old kings across from family dollar (China garden) is amazing, always been fresh, quality veggies, and I ask for the jumbo shrimp. It's awesome. Tell em the guy who always orders this same meal sent you here lol. Unfortunately, they aren't on Doordash. I found this Japanese restaurant, which I'm sure has amazing stuff, but the chicken and shrimp with mixed veggies (some different veggies) was sub par. Maybe it's me, and I'm spoiled, but I just couldn't finish it. Little amount of sauce, chicken and small shrimp tasted "off." And for $14.xx before the extra fees from Door dash and tip, $24 for something I couldn't finish. Even my cat, who I share a piece of the big shrimp with, didn't want??! I hope they work on making this one better. Maybe stick with the sushi, that's where these places really shine. Making sushi is something that takes effort and practice, so I don't doubt the skill of the cooks here. I'm more disappointed because of the cost, and myself. Last second I'm adding a star cuz they make sushi.

    We had a mix and no complains. Got chicken Teriyaki, the shrimp and chicken teriyaki, dumplings, a chicken roll and a California sushi rolls. I was good the cashier super nice... Food was good for the price of very large portion and service was quick.

    Special, Teriyaki, bento boxes

    Basic assortment of rolls or teriyaki. Low number of raw rolls, some shellfish and they were out of eel. Many rolls have cream cheese. No sashimi, so everything is rice rolls. I tried a tuna & avocado roll, and salmon & avocado roll. I give them kudos that the fish tasted very fresh, the rolls were packed with fish and had less rice around the edges than many places do. Served with an appropriate amount of wasabi and ginger. On the two roll special, it was only $8.55 including tax. No alcohol, no hot tea. Beverages are bottled or canned only. Also no soups. I plan to try the dumplings next time I'm in, based on the reviews. Try their chili hot sauce with your rolls if you like spicy. It was very good, even better than sriracha on them.

    Two orders of dumplings, the best I've had around here .

    Great quick service and food !! Love the chicken but even more so the dumplings. I haven't had something I don't like here . Would definitely recommend stopping in if your in the area .

    Bento Box Chicken Teriyaki and Tempura Shrimp
    Lea P.

    My husband got a deal for $25 worth of $50 meals at Restaurant.com. We were surprised when we came in as the server from Sarku Avenues is now working there. She recognized us and immediately work on our orders. My husband and I both ordered the bento box. Chicken teriyaki and Shrimp Tempura for me while he got the Beef Teriyaki also with Shrimp Tempura. Both were delicious and have large portions which also includes 4 pieces of sushi, fried rice, salad and 3 pieces of dumplings! Whew! Yes that was a lot of food but they were all good! The Tempura was cooked perfectly but I was looking for the sauce specifically for the Tempura but they only have the soy sauce. We also tried their Chicken with Shrimp Teriyaki which is awesome! And since we have extra more dollars left on our deal, we had Shrimp Tempura, (my new favorite sushi !) and New York Rolls for take out. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves Japanese food!

She also gave me directions to the restaurant because it was in a plaza and I wasn't from the area and didn't want to be late. The omakase experience here and the sake tasting was fantastic. Every dish was so precisely made and plated and we got tonwatch it all from the Chef'scounter. We were given explanations for everything we had that night and they made everything gluten-free because two of us that night were gluten-free. The omakase is in the back of the restaurant as well sectioned off from the main restaurant and bar. The space is beautiful and it even has and outdoors seating area with a large (maybe fake) Sakura tree. They made my birthday dinner very special and I appreciated that a lot. The sake tasting was also just as fantastic. The sommolier explained every sake and even let me take a quick photo of the bottle so I would be able to remember it. The Final dish was a gluten-free cheesecake. If I lived in JAX I would come here all the time. I highly recommend it! Everyone was great and all the food was fantastic.

We love dining from Sake House 2 because the staff is genuine and attentive to you. Excellent meals, superior quality and large portion sizes! We eat-in or go through Door Dash. They always cook the steak the way you want. If the door dash doesn't allow you to customize the order, you can call the restaurant and they will update and make it the way you want, such as without vegetables or without sesame seeds. Prices are exceptional. Dine-in lunch for Teriyaki ranges from $12-$14, (with chicken teriyaki is $12). Hibachi ranges from $12-$15. Dinner for Teriyaki ranges from $16-$24 (including 2x meat, like chicken and steak $24 and chicken teriyaki being $18. We don't like sushi, but they have an extensive number of sushi and put it on bamboo boat designs for how they serve at the restaurant. It's truly a work of art!

Today I stuck it out, and I can confirm you get used to the smell haha! The service was great. My waitress was super sweet. She was really on top of it and had that knack of showing up exactly when you need her and leaving you alone for the rest of it. 10/10. The Sapporo beer was good. I got the spicy tuna roll and the Diablo roll. I LOVED the Diablo roll. The tuna roll was pretty boring- it's about half the size and about half the price. They're generous with the tuna, there's just not much going on besides that. So I would definitely recommend getting a specialty roll! Can't wait to try more in the future :)

When I first came in after the remodel I was skeptical, but day after day (hit after hit) Wasabi delivers. The food is AYCE and is made fresh to order. I'm a huge fan of nigiri so this is such a dea. Normally two pieces could easily be 5+ at another location. Don't like sushi? No worries! They have hibachi, tempur, soups, salad, dumplings. This is a great place to take people new to sushi who are discovering their preferences ( please consider the sweet potato sushi, it will be better than you anticipate). Please be warned, there is a price per sushi piece left behind. While I never seen the staff bring down the hammer, it is a clearly written rule. Also, if one person at the table orders AYCE then shares their food you will be charged for two AYCE (which makes sense). The interior is simple but the vibes are immaculate, super laid back and they often give small gifts during certain holidays. The AYCE is approx 16 dollars until 3, their dinner prices increase. Make sure to check their schedules times before heading over. (Try the salmon skin salad)
