Kazu Japanese Restaurant - Poké-Poké Bowl - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I was at the tax collector and it was time to eat some I came here to try sushi and ramen :) The staff are so friendly and our server was great. The ambience is dim light and like a regular sushi spot, good amount of tables. The sushi is decent, average. The ramen is good, the tonkatsu has a good salty flavor. Overall a good experience. read more

First time visit here. Atmosphere was extremely comfortable, very clean presentation, and pleasurable noise level. Ordered a hibachi bowl entrée and was well prepared and served hot and full of flavor. Tried their plum wine, which was a good choice and went perfect with the meal. My server Gesille was super attentive, super polite, and professional. Enjoyed the experience and will definitely make another visit. read more

Love Kazu for both lunch and dinner! Service is always great (thanks, Amanda!), food is fresh and delicious, price is very fair. No recommendations for improvement - I only recommend that if you've never been you should give Kazu a try! read more

Lunch special bento box was amazing. Cute little place! Krab and cream cheese roll tasted a little funny, so I ordered spring rolls instead. They were great! read more

Staff were great and attentive, but the sushi rolls were soggy. The rice on all three rolls ordered were still wet. As someone that's a texture person, I won't be back. read more

I had ordered online and picked up to bring back to the office. Not bad for $9.99 lunch special. I can say all was good, but the rolls were not the best. But, I did enjoy. I look forward to doing business with them again. I also ordered extra ginger for my sushi and did not get it. Oh well, all is not lost. Pros:close to the office and good prices Cons:lack of ginger Recommend? Yes! read more

Casual, lively, & delicious describe Kazu. The location is very unassuming, but the food is FANTASTIC! Everything I ordered was delicious: miso soup, tuna appetizer, & specialty rolls. The cold sake (Black & Gold) was some of the best I've ever had! Book your visit soon! read more

My wife and I were on this side of town and noticed this Sushi restaurant and said yes we have to stop. Our waitress (Mandy) was super friendly. She did a great job taking care of us today. Thank you Mandy for all you did! * We got the lunch special which came with 3 sushi rolls (Krab Dynamite, Shrimp Tempura, Super California). All were very good and full of flavor!!! The soy sauce they had was delicious and tasted different than any other soy sauce we've had. Also the yum yum sauce was very good. They both complemented the sushi very well! We decided to share and so glad we did. We both were so full when we left. The restaurant was clean. Everyone was super friendly. We definitely recommend Kazu Japanese Restaurant! read more

Swung through here on a whim one day on a Monday before the lunch window ended at 3 pm, and honestly I can't wait to bring my family back. The atmosphere was incredibly chill and the dining area was clean and inviting. Only one other party of 2 was present but the timing of wait staff was exceptional. I had the Rangoon appetizers which I thought were phenomenal. The lunch special for 2 rolls at 9.95 was a steal and it came with a ginger salad or soup. A side of rice was all that I added to round off this meal, and I even had leftovers. Amazing food and experience, can't wait to go back! read more

Some of the best and freshest sushi and sashimi I've had in a while. Loved every bite of what I had.

My favourite sushi in Jacksonville so far! Portions and taste were amazing! We shared multiple rolls, and to me spectrum was the top one! The only thing i didn't really enjoy was their moshi for dessert, it was kinda of soggy. They have an ample selection of sake, but if you haven't tried the plum wine, you must! read more

Kazu Japanese Restaurant - Rainbow Roll Spectrum Roll Toro Special Roll - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Great sushi and menu. Good selection of food and sake, this is one of my favorite places for sushi and hibachi.

Awesome place!!! During their happy hour they do buy a specialty roll get a regular roll for free. The garlic edamame is one of the best things I have ever eaten. The sushi was tasty as well. I cannot say if it's the best in the area or not as I haven't explored any besides this one. Our server was extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I will absolutely be coming back here for the B1G1! read more

Great fresh sushi and service. Only have gone during lunch but everything I've tried so far has been great.

Couldn't eat the food there were two hairs in my bowl of one curly and black and one long and straight

Presentation - 5 Stars Menu - 5 Stars (really inventive) Service - 5 Stars Food - 4 stars What a find. Our normal sushi spot is closed on Monday night, so this was the highest rated restaurant that was nearby. So glad we ventured out because the service was amazing and the menu was really inventive and unique. The restaurant is clean and parking is plentiful, so those items are good. But the food itself: Seaweed Salad - refreshing, delicious, solid choice Side Salad - solid choice, fresh, maybe lettuce cut was too thick, but ginger dressing was delicious. Shrimp Tempura - really good Philadelphia Roll - nothing special but it was a solid roll. Black Dragon Roll - good, but description was better. Sweet Potato Roll - a family favorite and they do it well. NY, NY Roll - another, it was good but the description was better. It just was not very flavorful. Salmon Lovers Roll - OUTRAGEOUSLY DELICIOUS. Get this roll, better yet get two. Smoked Salmon Roll - ooh, another great one. I am seeing a trend with good salmon. There are half a dozen items I would like to try, so I am making plans for my next visit. read more

Great happy hour deals. The sushi is amazing and can all be modified to fit allergies.

We had dinner with another couple on a Busy Saturday night and the service was a little slow but as understandable given how busy they were. Our server did a great job of taking our orders correctly and delivering exactly what we ordered. The food is really delicious and they have an extensive Asian menu with something for everyone. We had sushi and sashimi, he had a bento box and she had fried rice and a salad and everyone really enjoyed the meal. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere was a little noisy but again it was a very busy Saturday night. The facility is a little tired but clean and comfortable. They even had a couple of craft beers to choose from which is not the norm at most Asian restaurants. Usually it's a couple of mass market US beers and a few Asian beers but here they had a couple from Intuition and some other brewery I'm not familiar with. We've been here 3 times and will go back again. read more

I went to Kazu because I noticed they had ramen and wanted to give it a try. The flavor was actually quite good, but it was just noodles and a bit of cabbage--I was hoping for a bit more in terms of ingredients. Service was really slow, likely because there was only one waitress working during a busy lunch rush. That said, the restaurant is very clean, and I'll definitely return for their sushi, but I'll probably skip the ramen next time. read more

Kazu is always spectacular! My best friend and I had dinner last night and both agreed that the food here really is top tier. It's the freshest quality, the best flavors, and excellent service. Yung was very pleasant & helpful in our sake selection (we went with the Snow Maiden - delicious!) and was prompt with service. Our absolute favorite roll was the Lemon Drop roll. However, everything here is so fresh that you can't really go wrong. The edamame was a nice surprise with our yelp check-in. The vibe is relaxed & cozy, yet very nice. It's a place that you can stop at after a day of shopping with friends, or a nice date night. Will definitely be back! read more

First time dining at Kazu and it was a great experience. The menu was huge and the quality of food was great. We ordered miso soup which was great, an avocado salad which was fresh and tasty with the ginger sauce, and edamame which was freshly steamed with sea salt. The portions were big, and the price was great for the size and quality. We ordered four special rolls. Our favorite was Spectrum, and then Toro special. The rainbow+ was great too. The service was fast and our server was amazing and friendly. This is a small local restaurant, the decoration is basic but cozy. Exactly what you expect from a sushi restaurant! Highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

Kazu Japanese Restaurant - Our favorites in order: 1- Spectrum 2- Toro Special 3- Rainbow +, and 4- Sapporo - Japanese Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We were excited to try their menu and ordered for eat in. We had their salad and soup first. The lettuce was cold and the ginger dressing was pretty good. The soup was warm and had a light flavor that I really enjoyed. We both ordered teriyaki. Chicken and shrimp for me, steak and chicken for my dinner partner. The food came out quickly and we did both like the chicken. The steak was bit chewy and my shrimp not as firm and sweet as I like. I also wished the sauce had a bit more flavor. The broccoli was a little under cooked/steamed and needed seasoning. We were glad we stopped by, however, if we go again we will order something different. Make sure you check in for a YELP treat. read more

Fought with OWNER of LLC for a 60$ charge placed at the wrong location BECAUSE HIS WEBSITE IS COMPLETELY OUTDATED. Just wanted to place my order at his other location. Told my wife no. I called and tried to explain the situation. Bro told me "the website asks you multiple times to confirm the address.". He thinks only my wife placed the order not me as well. I told him "no it doesn't, I was right there with her." He says "we are a small business (they aren't, they have multiple stores. INVEST in a website u cuk), what do you expect?" I say "if your website is dogsh*t and your customers are making mistakes you prolly should be ready to give refunds?" He says no. I said okay I will dispute charge. This owner is legit scamming people. I can't believe this guy tried to lie to me about his website, and their policy. Listen up OwNeR you're gonna lose more business fking ppl over like this than you will refunding the charges, or actually investing the 1k it costs to get a DECENT website. Now imma go dispute your charge, which means I can't go eat at your Phillips hwy store. Oh well I guess. I can't go eat 15$ burritos that are 85% rice read more

Not only is this location super convenient to my house, but super delicious and always reliable. I would eat here for lunch and dinner every day if I could... just saying. The lunch specials are incredible - my husband and I love getting the two or three roll special plus a soup or salad. It's a great deal and you can't beat it for that quality and service you receive. With my shellfish allergy, I appreciate any restaurant that can safely serve me and this is my go-to for sushi. I'm all about the Alaska roll and anything else that comes with avocado. It's a nice atmosphere and an excellent place to eat: never too loud, never too packed, never disappointing. Or if you're looking for sushi delivery... Kazu can still take care of you. It's a win win either way! read more

Had a great lunch here. For starters, I had the cheese wontons which had a rich, cream cheese filling and were crispy on the outside. The lobster pan fried dumplings were very flavorful with the right amount of filling. I also loved the soft shell crab tempura! I enjoyed the Kazu fried rice which had steak, shrimp , and chicken. Definitely worth coming back here!! read more

Daddy always said "when you're hungry, look for where the police officers and firemen eat because they eat at the best restaurants." Well you will find police officers and firemen at Kazu Japanese Restaurant, because their food is amazing, and you know you won't have to worry about anybody inhaling this delicious food and choking, because there's always a first responder nearby. I've tried everything from the sushi, Poké bowls, teriyaki chicken and everything I have eaten has been mouthwateringly delicious, you cannot go wrong here & the prices are inflation proof! I highly recommend Kazu Japanese Restaurant. It's great for families, first dates, second, third and fourth dates & yes, even a make up date read more

Went to Kazu the other night while I had family in town! We enjoyed our food and our waitress was very nice and accommodating (she even moved us to a bigger table). Since I'm not a big sushi fan, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many menu options that fit my preferences. I ended up ordering the cheese wontons as my appetizer and chicken and steak teriyaki with fried rice for my entree. From the meat to the veggies, everything tasted nice and fresh! This is small restaurant, but still very busy on weekends. If there are more than 2 or 3 people in your party, I would recommend calling ahead to see what the wait time is or if you can reserve a table. Thank you for the pleasant experience, Kazu! read more

The food was outstanding and the creative options were plentiful. I know I normally start out talking about customer service but tonight, I'm going to focus on the food first. There was 12 of us in the group and each of us got something different and what was unique you got to actually create what type of Japanese burrito or Japanese bowl you preferred or you could order off the traditional menu. The food came out relatively quick, the correct temperature, with outstanding flavor! I added the pickled ginger with toasted garlic to my bowl and that added such flavor! It was not overpowering but you knew it was there and that's what counts. The burrito my mother had contained dynamite spice not familiar with what that is but she loved it. The edamame was fresh their tofu appetizer was outstanding. We had great customer service, the waitress was very patient as I said there was 12 of us and she never missed a beat. This is one place I will highly recommend !!! read more
