My partner and I celebrated our engagement here in 2024, and we returned for our first anniversary…read morebecause we love it so much! The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel well cared for. Once they learned it was our anniversary, everyone greeted us warmly! Best sushi in Jacksonville, hands down! Always so fresh + flavorful with great portions. We ordered the Oceanside and Sand Dollar roll. Oceanside is a MUST try, it truly is the best sushi roll I've had in Jax. The atmosphere is luxurious and feels like you're stepping into a whole new city! Love it here!!!

Came back for a 2nd round and had an amazing experience! Thankfully was with someone who has been…read moreto O-Ku several times, so I was shown the right items to get. Ambiance was great - we sat upstairs near the bar which was a nice change from the downstairs main dining room. We tried the edamame - which were pretty standard. The O-toro spoons were amazing, the sake dreams nigiri was out of this world. Then we had a few rolls: the oceanside was solid, duval roll was pretty good, but my favorite was the So's Maki roll. Overall, a great meal. I paired the rolls with a Japanese whiskey that I let the server choose for me - will definitely have to go back for more. Looking forward to the next visit to try the sake dreams again, and other nigiri!

When we entered Wild Ginger, we were greeted pleasantly and shown to our table. During our drink order, Small cups of soup were placed before us along with a multi portion fried roll. This was done free of charge. I ordered an avocado salad and a sashimi appetizer. The avocado salad was fresh contained an entire avocado and served in a small bed of greens. There was a ginger dressing just on the grains and then a tangy creamy sauce for the avocados. It was presented in a very lovely and organized way. Next, I had the sashimi appetizer, a selection of four different kinds of fish, very fresh end of good quality, generously, sliced, and again the presentation was beautiful. The aesthetics of the restaurant are new modern Japanese and quite relaxing. My favorite part is it's a nice restaurant in easy walking distance of Neptune Beach. Highly recommended

Service was great so well as the sushi. Quick stop over in JAX beach and well worth a try.read more

She provided amazing hospitality and her descriptions for the hand roll flight were immaculate. The food was amazing as well, really enjoyed the chutoro and otoro hand rolls and the seasonal black garlic tonkatsu. I love how affordable and approachable they put tuna belly on the menu, while you get to try a wide range of other usually expensive nigiri. The concept of diy hand rolls was really cute too. I thought the mentaiko udon could use a little more mentaiko tbh. But I loved the funky, almost sour cream sauce of the mentaiko. Good strong garlic flavor comes through as well. Vibes were immaculate, love the hanging lanterns and aesthetic of the restaurant. The open concept was cool if you sit at the bar and watch the sushi chefs. I love the projector displaying scenes from anime as well. They even have a Vero water filter which costs like $5K. Can't wait to come back again on an empty stomach and try more.

The rating is closer to 3.5 than 4 stars…read more Food - the sushi rolls are pretty good. The chicken yakitori tastes better than the steak one which surprisingly costs $9 for one stick. The street corn tastes good, but I wish it were corn off the cob. Service - needs improvement. Service is very slow even though it's not that busy. It took a while to get our drinks, to place our order and get our food.

We came here for my kiddo's family birthday dinner, at his request. It was a Thursday, so it wasn't…read moresuper crowded, which was nice. When we arrived we were immediately shown to our table. The server was nice, got our drink orders, and then came back for our entree orders. I love their soup here, super simple, but super delicious. When we ordered our entrees we noticed on the kid's menu they don't offer combos like they do on the adult menu. My kiddo had a hankering for both chicken and steak, so we ordered him the steak, I got the steak and chicken and gave him my chicken, and my husband got the steak and chicken. So typically when we've come here we love the food and the entertainment of having a hibachi chef. They normally make it really interactive and fun, this time around was a different story. Our hibachi chef was pretty lackluster, no throwing the egg, no funny quips about the rice or veggies. It wasn't really dinner and a show. One of my favorite items is the Japanese fried rice, because I like the crispy bits you get when it's cooked on the hibachi....no crispy bits. The steak was cooked perfectly, the chicken was flavorful, but disappointed in the lack of show and the rice this time around. I'm hoping this is a one off.

It's like a hug in a bowl; all the ingredients complement each other and the broth is just so good on its own, I could drink it alone. I'm a fan of a little spice so I asked for 1/2 the normal amount used to spice things up... but honestly the broth is just SOOO good on its own; it needs nothing. The noodles themselves are also really good; some places have noodles that can taste a little "cardboard-y" - but not at Tokyo Ramen. What else? Service: friendly and fast... Cleanliness of the restaurant: supreme (I think you could literally eat off the floors if health code allowed).

The location is small but was able to seat 8 people putting tables together.

Due to their accommodations and delicious food I would come back here.

The service here was fantastic which was impressive as we had a large party taking up two separate grills. There was just nothing super shiny and exciting here. Same onion volcano, same shrimp flipping, same egg cracking and the same overpriced food. The sushi was ok, but nothing spectacular. $22.95 for shrimp and scallop Hibachi. 5 or 6 medium scallops and some shrimp, albeit nicely cooked, will not get me to come back to this particular location.

I ordered a hookah recommended by the server ("blue...something"). It was just okay. The charbroiled oysters were disappointing -- the Parmesan on top was hard and tasted like processed cheese. I wouldn't recommend this spot for food, but I would recommend it for drinks. The biggest issue this visit was the environment. It was freezing inside, and we weren't informed at the time of our reservation that the heat wasn't working. We had to ask about it ourselves, and the only explanation given was that they "tried to fix it."

Upon arrival they were playing really mellow music 90s and early 2000s RnB mixed with little pop and current RnB. Later on they had a live dj and he set the vibes! We also ordered hookah which was good, it wasn't harsh at all!

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.

We decided to try somewhere new last Saturday night and were told about a 30-minute wait, which is usually a good sign as the place was packed. They took our number and texted us about 20 minutes later when two seats opened at the hibachi bar. Grabbing those seats was the best decision we made as we were entertained by both the hibachi chefs and the sushi station all night. The chefs were interactive, friendly, and clearly skilled at what they do. Our waitress, Jennifer, was absolutely on point, accommodating, polite, and happy to offer recommendations that did not disappoint. We ordered the shrimp tempura, bagel roll, and spider roll for sushi, along with the shrimp and steak hibachi, which she thoughtfully split onto two plates for us without even being asked. The sushi arrived first, beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Soup and salad followed, then the hibachi entrée , all timed perfectly so we never felt rushed or overcrowded with dishes. The shrimp was fresh, the steak cooked perfectly, and the fried rice seasoned just right with herbs and spices that complemented the entire meal. Every part of the experience flowed from start to finish. A return visit is already in the works this month. Highly recommend this spot and major thanks to the employees for being at the top of their game! Truly a 5 star experience.
