It was early on a Saturday night that my husband and I found ourselves out at the beach and hungry. We are always up for sushi, so on the recommendation of a friend, we stopped in. It was busy but not loud. We had a very nice meal and I can tell you it was the most beautiful presentation of sushi I have ever seen. We ordered several cooked rolls: California, a salmon and cream cheese roll, a spider roll and something that we thought was supposed to be "flamed" at the table (it was not, but it was still tasty!). All in all, a good visit. If we are in this area again I can see us stopping by. Might even give the "flamed" roll another try - it sounded really cool! read more

I thought it was nicely decorated and clean. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, bringing our dishes in reasonable wait time. We went on a Monday for lunch, and they had some cool specials. Overall the food was visually appealing but I didn't care for the taste. The clear soup was more of a brown/broth color and the mushrooms didn't seem cooked. I tried the lava roll, and while I usually enjoy the crunchies, these were all stuffed together in the roll instead of sprinkled throughout. The gyoza and my cocktail were the only things that I found to be wonderful. It was one of their special cocktails with cranberry juice and pineapple (I requested to go easy on the pineapple). My mom ordered a rice dish and didn't care for it and didn't enjoy her mango jalapeño margarita (overly sour). I wasn't impressed with my fried rice either read more

My family had dinner at this restaurant the other day. Everything on the outside is nice and clean. The inside had a darkness with neon lights going on. The tables and chairs had lots of wear and tear. The service we got was fast and friendly. She had answers to all our questions. She did not ignore her other tables and still kept checking on us. The food was very well prepared. We all finished everything we were served. They do supply the wooden chop sticks for each person at the table. This restaurant is easy to find from 3rd Street. read more

Best sushi in Jacksonville hands down. Sushi is high quality and always great! The specials and truly special. Only in season fish, high quality, fresh, never frozen, and amazing ! Fantastic service! Great for family or just friends! read more

Ordered the chicken hibachi and was so bland a frozen dinner tastes better! The rice was not fried and the chicken tastes fake with some bland gravy sauce. The sauce might have been teriyaki but was so watered down. I almost thought is was a diet frozen dinner meal plan. The chicken was rubbery. The vegetable amount was about 3/4 cup. Overall way over priced for such a cheap tasting meal. Very dissatisfied. read more

Food was good, no complaints there,waitress was rude every time she came to our table she copped an attitude. There was a small dog, not a service animal in the restaurant getting better service than actual paying customers. Would think that would be a health code violation but hey what do I know. Glad I won't be back! read more

Kamiya 86 - Hibichi chicken and steak - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Came here on a spur with a group of friends. I was craving sushi and the idea stuck with the group. I know they have multiple locations of Kamiya 86 along the strip of 3rd St. I've gone there years ago when I was a senior in high school but I went to the other location this time. I got bunch of slices of sashimi and maaan they're some thick slices! They're all about presentation for sure! My dish was plated so beautifully. I did enjoy going here and would recommend anyone in the beaches area to check them out if they can. I'm very picky on sushi spots but I guess I can't be when there's so many in Jax that I have yet to try out. There's so much to offer in this big city of ours! read more

Fresh spring rolls, good cucumber tini and fast service! They bring things out when they are ready so not everyone will eat at the same time. I ordered a noodle dish and thought it wasn't anything special. Hood place for kids as they have bento boxes. I would try a different place next time as there are so many aroind read more

Very nice, clean and quality place. Polite and attentive staff. The food was one of the best I tried in Jax quality and taste wise. There are captions for pictures I posted. Must come back! Tip: if you come on Thursday afternoons and Fridays they get special delivery from Japan that you can try at the bar as chefs treat on the house. read more

Came here for a Friday night dinner with a girlfriend the other night. I was recommended this restaurant by a friend who lives here in Jacksonville. I am so glad I took the time to try this new place. Our waiter was quick and attentive. The restaurant had an extensive drink menu and I recommend the 86. I started off with miso soup, The soup tasted very freshly made and was such a nice starter. For my main entrée I chose the yummy roll. I find the name it's self to be pretty explanatory. The roll was so scrumptious! Usually I'm not one to finish every bite of my sushi but I totally did with this one! Ingredients were fresh and it was so delicious! A comment about the environment of this place: casual but nice decor and extensive seating. Overall I completely recommend trying this place out. Thank you for the wonderful experience! read more

Kamiya 86 - The 86 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

A group of five colleagues grabbed dinner at Kamiya on a Friday night. We were ushered into one of their private eating areas that required us to remove our shoes, to climb into a booth, and to sit on cushions around a wooden table. The seating area added to the authenticity of the place. Three of us split the "Love Boat for 3" ($64), which was impressively presented in a wooden display in the shape of a boat. Sushi rolls were beautifully plated and the sashimi was displayed in ice. The fish was so fresh that it basically melted in our mouthes and the rolls were hearty and well-prepared, and the sauces topping them were delicious. Each of us also got a choice of soup or salad. Others at the table got sushi, which they enjoyed as well. The quality of the food and of the dining experience here was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and the variety of dishes on the menu was great. I'll definitely be back. read more

4/5 stars for the sushi. Solid place for sushi. In fact, I really like all the rolls they have and fish is super fresh. Prices are on the higher end of "reasonable". I do not recommend any of the Thai food on the menu though. Flavors were bland and just not good at all. 2 stars for the service - every time we go service is always an issue, whether it be food coming out slow, non-attentive server, or even rudeness. Because of the service, this place isn't on the rotation anymore when we go out. read more

Oh my gosh, I had read reviews of Kamiya and thought, I need to try it, but I was not prepared for how nice the interior was furnished. There were private tables along the wall which create a nice intimate date, back lit bar top and overall more of a feeling of South Beach than Jacksonville Beach. My daughter was really impressed that good ol Dad found this place. When I look at reviews, I want to know what is good so here is what we ordered Oshinko Roll I rarely see these on a sushi menu, so I was pleased. Angel Hair Roll Fabulous, I could make a meal out of two of these. Sweet Potato Roll What can I say, I am southern and love sweet potatoes Pad Thai Meh, okay but they warn you in the menu it is their "version" Overall a wonderful experience and well worth the visit. read more

We went at night. The outside looks average, but when you get inside, it looks really nice. It's a combination of an Asian restaurant and a sports bar. They have this big open closet looking areas where they have a table and you dine together Japanese style. You take your shoes off and gather around with your friends and family. I would say it can fit 8 people comfortably. We had the shrimp pad thai, pineapple shrimp thai fried rice, shrimp red curry, and sizzling mongolian beef. Great sushi too! Very good and tasty! Our waitress was very friendly and she provided us with great service. It's a nice place to eat with your family, friends, or even a date. read more

Kimaya offers a great experience that everyone must try. After reading a multitude of posity and negative reviewed I went in with an open mind. The inside is nice and very clean. The bar is nice and colorful; it gives the restaurant an upscale look. You can choose to sit at a table or booth or have an even more authentic experience in a ground level table where you sit around with your shoes off in a semiprivate room. The menu offers a true fusion of flavors from Chinese to Thai to Japanese and more. We started out with spicy tuna and spicy yellowtail rolls. This possibly could be the best sushi I've had in Jacksonville. Each piece was huge stuffed with fresh fish. The ginger, even though I don't eat it, looked extremely fresh and tasted the same apparently. The rolls were so big I only ate a little bit of my meal. I opted for the Singapore rice noodles which was great. The perfect amount of curry flavor with veggies, chicken, and jumbo shrimp. The entrees are very fairly priced and the food is plentiful. While waiting for our food, the wait wasn't long and the service was great, we were checking out the sushi plates as they came out. The artistic layout of the boats coming out we're great and took the sushi dining experience to the next level. We waited a while to try it out but won't wait a while to come back. I think we found our new sushi spot and I think you should try it too. read more

Excellent food and service! We tried the fried pork dumplings, edamame, several different sushi, a bento box and noodle soup. It was ALL very tasty. The restaurant was a nice, quiet and welcoming interior. Would highly recommend! read more

Too bad there's not a zero or negative 5 New Year's Eve no one's even in there of course they get the order wrong call them back I will give you a credit no we want our food what we paid for sorry another business has gone downhill at the beach went back to get it I said you should've fixed this and deliver oh we don't deliver I said well you should've because I'll be going to the next sushi restaurant down the street they got sarcastic, funny, I left, gave them some nice parting words Just got a rebuttal from supposedly district manager it only took him a week I guess to come up with a good story where I was blasted as being subhuman, yelling at his wife, yelling at everyone in the restaurant, threatening underage kids, Or maybe you're mistaken and it was someone else because I did absolutely none of those things but that's OK, that's OK though probably what I would expect as a so-called legitimate business man They may not get reviews like this if they don't make up stories about their ex customers It's no wonder their parking lot is empty most nights Read some of the reviews and the ones that are not recommended from Yelp they all back me up and say the same read more

Great place for quality sushi in Jacksonville. My boyfriend and I got the love boat for 2 with the duck wraps for an appetizer. The wraps were delicious and flavorful and the sushi was incredibly fresh. I'm not huge cucumber fan so they were able to customize the rolls for me. The presentation of everything was nice and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. read more

It looks a lot smaller than it is! When you walk in it is beautiful! They have sunken tables so that you can get a real Japanese experience (lived in Japan for 4 years). The service was amazing (but we went during lunch on a Thursday) and the waitress was very attentive, nice and informative. The food was fresh and beautifully presented! I will definitely be going back to this location. P.S. I ate my food too fast to take any pictures read more

Best sushi in town. Kamiya is our absolute favorite for sushi in Jax. The rolls are so creative and presented so beautifully plated - plates of art. Last night we decided to do the Omacase, which is a series of courses selected and by the chef, and wow!! We were so impressed. Wonderful plates of bright and delicious sushi and sashimi creations. My favorite rolls are -Yummy -Spark of love -Lava roll -Royal crab -Alex 1986 I can't wait to go back - read more

Absolutely delicious! I find this to be some of the best sushi at the beach! Always fresh, always perfectly plated, and I've never had a bad experience.

That's something I am willing to do! read more

Kamiya 86 - Mango Tango Roll without the eel and the Lava Roll- my personal favorite! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

To date, the best sushi I have had in Jacksonville. Excellent food, texture was great, taste did not leave me disappointed in any way. On a side note, my wife has a severe gluten issue which means no fake crab, eel sauce, regular soy sauce etc. We told the waitress this up front and she was very well versed with all the items my wife could not have. They substituted out everything she couldn't eat with safe items. The chefs changed their gloves, cutting boards, etc. Super on top!!!! This will be my only go to sushi restaurant from now on. P.S. you pay the price. 5 special rolls and a seaweed salad, out the door with tip was $100 read more

Excellent meal! Seated immediately in a private room that seated 6 of us comfortably. Busy Sat. night and the staff was exceptional dealing with a high volume of diners. Our server was attentive and did his best to provide efficient service based on the number of tables he was assigned. Our party of 6 had a window of about 80 min. to order, eat and check out. We had appetizers, beverages and main entrees in a reasonable time frame. Our server provided individual checks and received abundant praise/tips for his professional, personable service. Everyone raved about their meals and many had enough for leftovers the next day. Fair prices, personable service in a lovely setting! Worth checking out! read more

We ordered the sashimi deluxe and the crispy shrimp sushi bar appetizer. We ordered from the Jax Beach location because we live in Ponte Vedra and it was closest. When we got there, the hostess told us we came to the wrong location and to go to the Neptune Beach location, which is 10 minutes further north. When we got to the Neptune Beach location, they told us the Jax Beach location had just called to say they actually did have our order. The hostess was super apologetic, and we headed back to Jax Beach. When we got back to the Jax Beach location, the hostess didn't apologize at all or offer to give us any type of discount. It was $35 before tip, and when we got home, they had given us the wrong shrimp appetizer. They gave us the $7 coconut shrimp appetizer but still charged us for the $8.50 one. It took us over an hour to get our dinner, which should have taken 15 minutes. Pretty disappointing. read more

As a local, we eat at Kamiya 86 often. The sushi is fresh, the staff is really friendly and the place is clean. All good stuff. Their sushi rolls are large and I usually get a salad and only one roll. I'm a little picky and they have no problems with my special requests. We always come back! read more

Every time I order from this restaurant they want to charge for shrimp sauce. I just placed a $100+ order for 4-5 people/8+ rolls and they said they would only give 1-2 shrimp sauces. They are so stingy with every order and I refuse to order from them or give them any business. Awful and rude manager!! This is why restaurants like this deserve to be shut down - no common sense! Lost $100 order for probably .25 of product. read more

This was my first visit. The decor is very clean, modern and hip. The lighting provides ambiance without making it hard to enjoy your meal. We started with a calamari appetizer which was excellent. I had the Pad Thai and he had sushi. All was very good. Our server, Nikki, was sweet, helpful and efficient. I would definitely recommend Kamiya 86! read more

If you haven't ever been here you need to go. This business has been growing for a reason. I've been a regular pre and post the pandemic. Worth the drive. The rolls are always fresh and delicious! A few of my favorite specialty rolls are the green dragon, Spark of Love Roll, Tiger eyes roll, and the lava roll. The hand rolls are good too. I also had their love boat which was good. Sashimi is always fresh. I've only ever got sushi here. Great Shokunin here and good customer service. One of my favorite spots. read more

Tasteless tofu, dry rice noodles, hair on top of the sushi and questionable-looking pieces of supposed chicken.

It's rare that I get the unusually long lunch, so I figured why not check this place out, as I have been wanting to do so for a while. I've heard pretty good things... The decor has a nice, modern feel to it. The room was dim enough for an intimate date night, but bright enough for a good group dinner out. I liked the array of color lights that lined the walls and the bar, with some light switching between colors. Very cool vibe. My server was excellent; she did a great job of checking up on me, making sure my water was filled, etc., so definitely no complaints there. As far as the food, it was pretty tasty. The clear soup that comes with the meal was amazingly flavorful. At other places, it's been kind of a dull broth, but the soup here had a heartier flavor to it. Wasn't sure, but almost seemed like they added a beef or pork bouillon to the broth...whatever it was, it was good! I ordered a spring roll appetizer to start off. It was very good, but definitely larger than I would normally see, as it was packed full of veggies. Add the fact that I had three of them to finish (I forgot that it was pretty much a shareable plate), and that alone would have made for a decent fill. But of course, I had to make sure I got some sushi. Went with the 2-roll lunch special, got the Super California Roll and the Salmon Avocado roll. I'm not gonna say that they were anything to write home about (as these are some of the more common rolls), but my sushi tasted notably fresher than some of the other places I have been, so I don't think quality is an issue here. I was kind of disappointed that some of my Super California Roll pieces fell apart, but I attribute it to so much ingredients inside weighing it down, haha! Overall, it was quite good. I can only imagine how good the House Specials and Chef's Recommendations are (the descriptions sounded awesome), so you know a second trip has to be in order. And of course, I finished it off with a little dessert. Tuxedo bombe was in full effect, as it looked and sounded pretty good on the menu. And it did not disappoint - a sweet combination of different mousses and ganaches, served with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkles next to a "tree" of flavored gels...great finish to my meal! On other thing of note: Presentation is key, and from the soup to dessert, this was some of the best plated food that I have ever had! All in all, I'd recommend this spot. Still pleasantly full as I post this, and I look forward to trying more of the menu on my next visit. read more

Kamiya 86 - Whole shell in my food. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Kamiya 86 is one of those "you know a place where we can get good sushi/Asian food" places. It's all just good. Making it altogether rather average. The layout of the restaurant is nice. Modern, slightly edgy, the trend a lot of Asian sit down sushi serving eateries are going for these days. There can be an element of intimacy but also a bit impersonal depending on where you're seated. The bar is nice. You can see the sushi chefs preparing the sushi meals. The waiters/waitresses are polite. The food is good and the portion sizes are nice. There's nothing spectacular about the place as a whole but that's good because it's one of those places where if you're in the neighborhood, and someone asks where you want to go eat you'd likely say "mm Kamiyah 86 is good. We could go there if you want." read more
