My waiter was super wonderful and answered my questions about the custom sushi options. I am not a fan of sushi with cream cheese, avocado, or cucumber (and most places have one or the other in most rolls). I appreciated that I could make the sushi my own. Not pictured here was a salmon roll topped with salmon roe (I call it mother and child lol). The eel was also delicious, and I can't wait to return for a visit one day.

I loved the umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and it had a wonderful Japanese appearance in the art on the walls as well. When I come back again, I would adjust what I order a bit, but each dish we enjoyed was still prepared very well. There are also some tables in the mid section and the left wall, along with nice booth seating along the right wall. Overall, seating is well placed and comfortable, especially the booths, which were better than most restaurants I've visited this year. I'll also say that our server was just awesome! Very social, kind, and did everything he could to serve and please the customer well. The service here is something people who visit never need fear! For our meals, I chose the Mongolian beef. It's been a few years since I've enjoyed this dish. It was a large offering that was made well and tasty. However, the beef was not as tender as I expected. There were some pieces that were too chewy to eat. This happened with our other dinner, the Happy Family as well. The Happy Family is an Asian specialty meal that is very enjoyable to eat with all the vegetables of various sorts it contains (I search for the mushrooms and scallops!) But the same problem with the meat occurred on this meal too. I asked our server about it and he said that the meat for these dishes were cooked in the wok, so, in a sense if I understand correctly, the lesser quality meat gets added to these dishes. But if you order anything hibachi, then the more tender meat is used for these dishes. He said that it was a Japanese tradition to do it that way. I never had either dish made this way in the past, but I wish we would have been informed before we chose these for our meal. But still, the meals lasted two days and I have no reservations about visiting this restaurant again. I know what to be aware of next time. I also found that the prices were $15-$20 per dinner. That's a decent value for a good restaurant like this at this time. Come visit if you like Japanese cuisine at a pretty good price and a place with great service and Japanese cuisine that will leave you very content! Recommend: HIGH

Our calamari appetizer was undercooked and even when they took it back to refry it, it was still undercooked. In addition, I was told the soup was beef broth and I don't eat beef so he told me I had to pay extra to upgrade to a non-beef option which seems very unreasonable when it should be included in our meal. A server later told us it was chicken broth so I unnecessarily had to pay extra for the miso soup... The hibachi was good still and overall had a good flavor. We did not like our server, he was quite rude and even after being told by a different server that we would not be charged for the UNDERCOOKED calamari and miso soup, we got charged and when I asked him about it, he came up with excuses. They eventually comped it but he was very rude. I don't know that we will be going back, there's better hibachi in Jax if this is how the service is going to be.

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.

Well, I can say up front that this shop is special to the core! I immediately noticed the sharp in decor detail, clean, organized, and impressive in seating arrangement. The seating includes comfortable booths along the walls, along with plenty of table seating in the midsection. From appearances, for a Monday it seemed to have a good number of customers visit on this evening. It looked like some were regulars - they all seemed to like it here! Well, I can say I liked it a ton! You have no issues here wondering if ingredients are fresh or not. You can go to the front counter and look for yourself. The seafood I observed was some of the best in quality I've seen in a while. I want to say up front the service was fantastic. My server, Yvonne, was kind, respectful, and helped me navigate through the menu to finally decide what I wanted. She also made regular checks to see how I was doing, along with the customers she served in my area. Yes! Definitely a 5-star server! For my order, I picked two things I was familiar with and two things not so much. Since I hadn't enjoyed crab Rangoon for years, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity! These were pretty large, filled with cream cheese (and I think chive) and fried to a perfect crunch level. I'll be getting these every time I visit! The other item of familiarity for me was the California roll. I've eaten many of these in, you guessed it, California. However, these were much different and rich being created in this specialty shop. It certainly had the same ingredients, but it was high above in quality than any Cali roll I've ordered in the past. The two rolls that I had no eating experience with in the past were the holiday roll and the Tokyo roll. Of the three rolls, the Tokyo roll was my favorite. I somehow didn't include it in my menu photos here. But it had a little spice kick and seafood (fish or crab) - I just highly recommend it! The holiday roll is on the menu, but ingredients are not listed there. However, Yvonne noted to me that many customers who visit choose to eat this roll only during their visits - so it is a very popular and delicious offering here! I sure would eat it again! In all, visiting Fancy Sushi & Grill exceeded my expectations in all three categories that Yelp likes us to cover for our reviews. When you have great customer service, beyond superb sushi plates and offerings, along with a wonderful setting that makes customers feel pleasant and welcome their entire visit, well, I can only say it made for a perfect evening - and I'll be back! I hope those who read this visit too! Recommend: VERY HIGH

He mentioned wait times for tables, so I chose a Tuesday evening to try to avoid the crowds and it worked as I was immediately sat upon arriving. There are QR Menus on the table and my server directed me to view there. I spotted the Tokyo and was intrigued by the Ajitama Brûlée (signature torched seasoned soft boiled egg). What I Ordered: - Tokyo: For $16.95, I thought this was reasonably priced and excited to try as reading reviews raved about the umami flavor of their ramen. Without exaggeration, this was a life-changing ramen. The best ramen that I've had in my life!! The torched egg was genius and added a beautiful texture to the rich, and flavorful broth. The fried chicken thigh was a delicious protein and cooked so well. Honestly, every ingredient was crafted well and combined to make such a beautiful bowl. - Lychee Martini: What better way to toast to life, then with a martini! The popping bubbles were not my thing, but the flavor of the martini was delicious. I can see why many suggest trying it. This is my 1900th review on Yelp, and I couldn't pick a better place to review and RAVE about my experience. If you are in Jacksonville, RUN don't walk to this location for a stunning experience as it's a gorgeous location that is very cozy. Though I didn't wait, I definitely would to have a Tokyo Ramen again!
