They have a lot of variety to choose from that is sure to satisfy the picky sushi eater! Great hibachi options from the kitchen as well. read more

Wasabi - Both booth & table seating options available - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I went to the north side to visit a friend who was in town visiting her sailor. We had dinner at Wasabi which her son loved. We waited a few minutes before being seated. Wasabi offered two options in addition to traditional dining. You could order from a specific menu (use the slips of paper at your seat) by writing down what you want and placing it on the edge of the table. One price was $20.99 and the other was $27.99 (included an extra column of choices). What an amazing deal which also allows you to try many different options! I went for the $20.99 and ordered soup, salad, cucumber salad, dumplings and sushi. The food came out quickly and everything was delish! And I tried a few pieces of sushi from my friends plates. I highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Came in for AYCE sushi. Sushi rolls were thin and small, that is a good thing. Lunch is 15.99. Great price for AYCE. Service was slow because the only had 2 waiters, and the place was packed. read more

Great experience at Wasabi! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out surprisingly fast - We got the shrimp fried rice, miso soup, clear soup, and a couple of sushi rolls (including the Spicy Girl and Baymeadows rolls), and everything hit the spot. The sushi was well made and nicely presented, and the shrimp in the fried rice was perfectly grilled. Both soups were warm and tasty! The service was a bit slow when it came to refilling drinks. That said, they were clearly busy, and the staff was still polite and attentive overall. They have AYCE Sushi too but we didn't try that this time around! Definitely a place I'd come back to for another date night! read more

Something new and different! This was a suggestion for us to go here. I wasn't sure what it was, but as long as I had some items I could choose from, I was good. We got a seat right away! The waitress grabs some papers, and numbered us, and gave each one of us one of the papers. I asked huh? What am I supposed to do with this. It's all you can eat, so you pick items on the menu and put the numbered item in the boxes. Ok, so I chose several items, before I could even finish picking my items, one of the people I was with, had food come already? I was like ok, where is ours? They said, Oh she did a quick pick, lol ok, I don't even know what's happening. So, I put my numbed paper on the end of the table and the waitress picked up my paper. Soon after that, she brough out my crab salad, I've never had anything like this in my life. The crab and the vegetables were all the same size, it was so refreshing and delicious. Then the Crab Ragoon and the crab tempura came out. The Tempura was interesting. One of them had some Crab in it, and the other one was kind of hollow. nevertheless, it was good. Then the Fried rice with Chicken and Vegetables came out, not really the way I was expecting it, but it was amazing. I didn't even need to add soy sauce to it. The chicken was tender, and the vegetables were great. I tasted the Steak, I'm glad I didn't order that! The meat wasn't tender at all. I must say, finally a place with good fried rice! I had actually given up on looking for it. I wasn't expecting it to taste so good. After that, I ordered the crab salad again and it was great. customer service was good as well. I could see myself coming back here. read more

Soup and salad came out normal as usual the rolls were very good. First time trying both. Asked for 1/2 rice and 1/2 noodle but only received rice. Service was great. The waitress smiled today for the first time. The smell in the restaurant is a little weird. Great prices and amazing lunch deals read more

This is a must stop when we are eating high protein and want some good sushi. The quality is great for the price and the service is outstanding. Come hungry and ready for eat for sure. We love this location for lunch and dinner. It's an easy quick stop to satisfy everyone in the family, whether there for sushi or just hibachi, you can't go wrong with either either read more

This restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing, the staff is friendly and the service is pretty quick. Hibachi is always a great choice and my go to is chicken and steak. The food was cooked perfectly, our chef gave some great laughs and a show. Definitely would recommend coming here! read more

Wasabi - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I was looking for a quick bite to eat close by after getting some supplies and happened to walk into Wasabi. The server said I could customize and substitute my meal with only rice or only noodles or even double up or replace veggies etc. That flexibility is why I decided to dine here and just got 2 bowls of soup instead of the salad. The price was also great at $13.95 The large sake is only $6.99 but the small bottle for $3.99 was more than enough for both of us. It was a decent meal. I give 4* bcos they charge 75 cents for yum yum sauce. I didn't order any yum yum sauce but on principle I don't like restaurants that nickel and dime patrons. That's like charging for ketchup with an order of fries or a burger. read more

Food was not anything special. Service was terrible. The girl taking my order was not kind at all. Didn't like that I asked questions. The menu didn't have the right pricing. I don't think I'll visit again. read more

It was okay. I am just used to the Wasabi in TownCenter. I think, that very often, take out seems a bit less appetizing than when you dine in. read more

If you've never been to Ultimate Sushi in San Marco, then you'll love it. Shrimp tempura is served cold. Extra charges for stuff the other location doesn't charge for. They make your entire ticket of sushi before delivering it, so you sit around while everyone else eats. They need to just copy and paste what the San Marco location does and not try to do something else. We'd probably go back but honestly would rather drive a little further to the original location. Service was good, people were nice. read more

We ordered sushi and house fried rice. At this point going forward I'll be asking everytime what's in the house rice and how is it prepared because this russian roulette crap I was served was not acceptable. And if I have to drown my food in yum yum sauce, it's not so yummy. Now The Sukaro rolls & clear soup were great as normal. Too bad I couldn't enjoy all my food. read more

I like this place a lot! The food is amazing and well flavored!! But when I went there for the first time we had no idea what we were doing. The servers didn't explain anything to us. We had to ask. We never got a "hi im {} how are y'all doing today?" Or a "is this y'all's first time visiting?" Like we were clueless. This one server was kind enough to help us out. Now that we know what we are doing though it's better now.. read more

Stopped by for lunch and wasn't impressed with the sushi. My wife ordered a spicy tuna, dynamite, holiday and some other roll. The spicy tuna was very fishy, dynamite lacked veggies and the holiday roll didn't have enough eel sauce on it. I ordered the chicken hibachi and thought it was good. Service was okay. read more

They've always been a solid choice for sushi but there's been a change of management and some talented new sushi chefs and I've got to say, the lunch I had there yesterday was absolutely the best sushi I've had in over 20 years living here in NE Florida. They have an all you can eat lunch special for under $15 which is an incredible value. I can't recommend them highly enough!!!!! read more

I did it air out. The rolls were fresh sh neatly displayed. I also got gyoza which was very tasty. I asked for extra spicy Mayo and yum yum sauce and they made sure to give me extra. I will visit again. read more

The seaweed salad, the jalapeño roll , the soup and the sweet carrots were my favorites and very good. Would definitely order this again. The ribeye had a bit to much fat it was cut thin slices but was juicy and tender. Next time I'll order the filet. The shrimp tasted overcooked and chewy The rice was not very good, I personally like mine with onion carrots peas and eggs and soy sauce. Theirs wasn't satisfying so was not eaten-guess I'll save those calories. Our server was friendly and attentive even though it was near closing time. read more

Waited forever for a puny roll and sashimi to go. Worst eel roll I've ever had. It was covered in some kind of fibers?? Maybe from a cloth but they were kind of long like cat hairs. The eel was undercooked and full of bones. The seaweed salad was tiny tiny. Do not recommend. read more

I guess I totally forgot about my previous review here. Not much has changed. Ordered chicken hibachi for dinner. It all lacked flavor and I didn't bother to finish it. The customer service was good but the food unfortunately is not. read more

Last night me, my mother and my son went on a late night outing for some items at Ulta. We decided to stop by Wasabis since it had been a while since we had been there. To say the atmosphere overall of Wasabis was decent would be a lie. It was awful. As soon as I went inside, I automatically smelled marijuana and a horrible odor as if there was mildew everywhere. We were seated in the dining room as requested. As soon as we were seated it took approximately 10-15 minutes to be served, mind you, there were barely any people sitting in the dining area. When our server finally approached us, in the middle of him taking our order another server approached him with food for a table that was quite literally right next to our table. Like, why couldn't he hand it to the table instead of interrupting our server? After that was done, our waiter presented our sauces and drinks. We didn't see him anymore until the bill was being paid... We never seen our soups and salads, we were presented with barely warm food, dry rice and the shrimp were like rubber. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement and I will not be returning to this establishment. Wouldn't surprise me if this place doesn't get put out of business. It's seems to me they just hire anybody... disappointing and awful service. Also, might I add, as mentioned in other reviews, there was hair in my food. That's just gross. This restaurant has gone under SIGNIFICANTLY! read more

The edamame and miso soup were served hot with good seasoning. However the sashimi was subpar and all pieces were left thick. The flying roe nigiri was good however it's not a diff cult item to make. Overall the restroom was disgusting and needs an update and the interiors of the restaurant needs to be cleaned and wiped down with appropriate sanitizer. I guess go if you're in a pinch and want sushi otherwise save your money and go somewhere else. read more

The sushi was so fresh. The customer service was absolutely amazing. Everything about this place was great. The service was fast and polite considering I ordered to go absolutely great.

I went there on April 7th yes I know I'm a little late doing a review but I went there with the hubby and ordered take out for the fam. We ordered 2 chicken fried rice one With out egg also a house fried rice. Well we get home and the chicken fried with out egg had a bug in it!!.. I called the restaurant back the waitress had an attitude because I told her I didn't want anything else I just wanted my money back so she told me to come back. I did i showed her my food she tried to say it wasn't a bug and called the chef up front he grabbed the back out of my hand saying I thought it was a pea!!.. we all can see this is not a pea, and I differently will not go back!!! I wonder what other bugs they have?? read more

Calm and quite little sushi place in a local north Jacksonville shopping center. You can chose where to sit and they have a paper with all their sushi, nagiri, and sashimi selections that you can hand to your waitress at the time of order. The establishment is clean and the service is decent. We had the fried gyoza and crab rangoons for appetizers. A glass of plum wine as well. Both are great choices! You can get gyoza steamed, but it's way better fried. They have both meat and vegetable options. We ordered the last Vegas roll, the dragon roll, and the rainbow roll for entrees. Everything tasted really good and the food came out very quick! We don't usually order things tempura but these were delicious and very large portions. It was hard to finish it all. The rolls were nicely put together as well. read more

Me and my husband went here for lunch. Got the hibachi lunch special and was pleasantly surprised. The stick rice was deliciously sticky. The chicken and veggies where delicious. Husband was a little disappointed in the katsu but otherwise a good meal. I did find the ambience to be a little weird as there was no music or anything playing. It was very quiet in the restaurant. Still a cute little place to get a bite to eat. read more

The lunch specials are crazy affordable! Traveling through for business and wanted to grab some sushi. Don't get me wrong, although the sushi here was very basic, it was good. For $7 you can get two of the basic rolls (California, cucumber, salmon, etc.) while the more complex rolls (Alaskan, spicy tuna, etc.) ran about $9 for two. I ordred the salmon and spicy salmon and the guy made it in two minutes. The salmon tasted pretty fresh but was just average overall. I also asked for a bowl of miso soup and there was something off with the taste. The service was nice and attentive but nothing really stuck out other than the cheap prices. read more

Wasabi - Salmon amd spicy salmon for $7, cheap lunch - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Wasabi is the best sushi spot on the northside. I can always count on fairly priced fresh rolls with speedy service, regardless of dining in or taking out. They are not to be confused with the Wasabi in the town center, as their rolls don't compare. I eat here weekly. They are closed Mondays. read more

Just don't go. The server (tall dark skinned guy) would not stop lingering around us and watching us. He would rush to the table with our food and reach across us with no warning, almost touched my wife's chest. He made it extremely difficult to order our food (that had hair in it) and had no idea what rice noodles were. The menu says rice noodles, not rice AND noodles. Some people cannot have gluten. We were absolutely pissed when we left. He could not remember who ordered what when we split the check into 2, and then got our cards mixed up immediately after handing them to him. However, the two ladies that assisted us and brought some of our items to us were very kind and professional. They are the only redeeming factor for this place. read more

Located in a strip mall near Starbucks and Blaze Pizza close to JAX airport. I ordered the sushi roll lunch and paid $9.80. I took the salad in and had the rest to go. Polite hostess and friendly ambient low lighting. Not authentic style sushi, but good enough for a weary traveler just getting off the plane! 3+ stars. read more

It's been about a month since I ate here and it will be the last time ever. I love sushi but this place has tainted that for me. I can't remember what I ordered but it was 2 raw rolls and nigiri. It tasted good while I was eating but the next day while I was at work, I had used the bathroom 5 times before it was even 11am and by the end of the day probably about 12 times. It gave me severe diarrhea for the next 6 days and I promise that is not an exaggeration. At the peak of the illness their sushi gave me, I probably used the bathroom 20 times that day, which I didn't even know was possible. And it wasn't the kind of urge to use the bathroom that you could hold in til you got home. It didn't feel like regular food poisoning, maybe worms or something. I was absolutely miserable for 6 days with very active bowel movements, dehydration, fatigue, nausea, lightheaded ness and no appetite. Sorry for TMI, but eat here at your own discretion. 0 stars if I could. read more

Sushi&Sashimi dinner came with 5 pieces of tilapia (passing off as snapper I guess?) out of total 14 pieces. Of the other pieces 2 were cooked shrimp, 1 fake crab stick.... so 8 of my 14 pieces were junk/filler. Unfortunate because the salmon and tuna pieces were actually quite good, so it's not like they can't produce a good product, suppose they're opting to keep prices low instead. Other dinners/rolls I saw passing by looked OK, so I guess stay away from the combo dinner, order a la carte or specialty rolls instead. read more

decided to try this because my go to spot was closed for the holiday. got food poisoning. sticking with Sushi Zen

The food is pretty tasty. I have enjoyed several rolls there, but I recently I had the chicken fried rice and crab rangoon (I know it's a basic order). The food was hot and tasted fresh. This place is located in Rivercity in a pretty busy location, but it wasn't crowded. I order a to go order which didn't take long at all to get. read more

The Food was delicious! Fast and well cooked! I got the steak and shrimp Hibachi and my husband had sushi( Temp, Crazy, Cali, and the Jag.) ! He enjoyed every bite of the sushi. The soup was as stated by everyone, well made and delicious. My kids shared the shrimp hibachi (theirs came with about 5 shrimp), noodles, rice, veggies, and a side of soup. It's a exact replica of the adult version. I was worried about the steak being hard like other locations, but my medium well was cooked to perfection! I would definitely go back!! Anybody who has never had Sushi, I always recommend something cooked. This location has a "Airforce Sushi" and it is amazing. It has shrimp, crab meat, rice, and cream cheese. . . YUM! read more
