    This place is easy tip find the three shopping center. You will seat yourself when you arrive. They will tahe your drink order and give you all the time you need to go over the menu. The inside is clean and fresh. The sushi bar is small. The service is fast. They kept all our drinks full. The food is cooked good. The taste is fresh. The portion size is above average. The prices is not on the high side. The 10$ hibachi lunch special of pick two was much bigger than expected. It filled me up. I recommend this place for good asian food at low cost. They do not have a military discount.

    Location close to my home. Small and quiet, would like a better atmosphere. A lot of pick up orders and delivery but no many people eating in for a Sunday Dinner. Great service and great tasting food . My only complaint is the way sushi rolls are made need more care and technique. My rolls keep falling apart ( not enough rice? Not wrapped right ). I'm not a sushi maker but I eat enough to know how it should be. Great tasting food even if it falls apart . Steak hibachi was delicious and good amount of food. Would definitely eat there again...

    You can expect the same quality of food. Never waiver. My go-to appetizer is the tuna sashimi.

    My partner and I were running errands on a gloomy Sunday and decided to act on our growing hunger,…read moreso I began to peruse Yelp for some recommendations. I'll usually filter out restaurants by the average / amount of reviews and this was a top contender. Located inside an unassuming shopping plaza, we backed into a suitable parking spot and finally entered the legendary Sushi Bear. The first thing we instinctually noticed was an odd, chemical smell (hopefully cleaning product / hence the knocked off star) and some of the walls looked to be under renovation and partially covered with incoherent children's scribble, but no big deal. We were promptly sat and immediately served a complimentary holiday roll and clear soups which were both very tasty. Soon after, our order was taken and within minutes was brought to us which we quickly filled up on. The staff were VERY attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and I will 100% be returning here whenever I need another convenient sushi fix. Highly recommended for the area. - Lou Sassle

Did pick up and the food was ready when I arrived (great service) and people were sooo very nice. I did hibachi dinner with scallops, the scallops were perfectly cooked. Totally amazed, really thought they would be tough and just white in color, juicy and a perfect sear-Bravo! Loved the fresh crispy salad and the ginger dressing was so good, not the average type dressing. I look forward to going in to Sushi Bear and try the fresh Sushi.

    We dined in for my birthday and we had a great time, everyone was very friendly and very very nice…read more The hostess even checked with the Chef weeks before I made a reservation to ask if they could accommodate me because I have Celiac Disease (I highly recommend calling beforehand). 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 frequently order/eat from Sake house 2... They never disappoint! The staff is genuine and kind,…read morethey even know what we always order, including drinks and remember it! 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 :)

    O-Ku is a whole vibe! Upscale without being pretentious, with phenomenal food and truly top-tier…read moreservice. We walked in with our family of five at 8 p.m. on a whim, without reservations, simply because the kids loved the rooftop. Not only were they welcoming and accommodating, but the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible! From the spicy tuna and California rolls to the O-Ku wings and crispy bao, everything hit the mark. The desserts were a hit with the kids (the SATA ANDAGI donuts were the clear winner!), and the cocktails were just as impressive. But what really set O-Ku apart was the service. Our server overheard that it was my birthday and surprised me with the sweetest dessert platter. At my big age, I still love feeling celebrated! Even as we left, the bar and waitstaff wished me a happy birthday. Great food, an incredible atmosphere, and hospitality that goes above and beyond. O-Ku managed to make a spontaneous family dinner feel like a special occasion. We'll absolutely be back, but with reservations next time!

    We went to O-Ku Jax Beach for lunch and amazing views recently. We had our dear friend with us…read more O-Ku is located at 502 First Street in Jax Beach and they have a great rooftop with killer ocean views. We split the Braised Pork Belly Bao to start, which was great. After that, we worked from the lunch specials. She did the Hot Box with chicken and I did the Sushi Box. We liked both and the only afterthought was that she would've asked for shrimp instead of chicken next time. My only note was that the Spicy Tuna roll included with my box was VERY spicy. That may sound like an odd thing to say but many places don't mean "spicy" when they say it about their rolls. O-ku means spicy when they say it, so just know that. Our servers name was John and he was great. Attentive without being overbearing and kept us updated on what we coming next while making solid suggestions on drinks, sides & desserts.

    This is a long overdue review. I have been coming to this location way before the new AYCE sushi…read morewent into action. 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)
