A much needed addition to Jacksonville's lack of Chinese restaurants! I waited until visiting this restaurant three times before writing a review. The first two times were during the opening weeks so there were a lot of items unavailable, but during my visit today they were able to provide everything we ordered. Although there are not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, they are accommodating to make changes. I always remove the meat from the noodle dishes and replace it with tofu. Everything I've ordered from here was delicious, and one of my favorites is the Sesame sauce noodles. Beautiful restaurant and great service. Highly recommended. read more

I can see why everyone keeps coming back to Licious! I love the variety of noodle dishes, there's something for everyone! And I've been told you get free noodle refills. (although the original serving is pretty filling in my opinion). And the food comes out pretty quickly. The Hot & Sour glass noodles were so good. The broth was delicious. Definitely more sour than hot, and the ground meat and peanuts really took it to the next level. I do wish the noodles were chewier, but it wasn't soggy or too soft by any means. The pan fried pork buns were really good too. The meat was really flavorful, and the bottoms were crispy without the bread being too thick or hard. That being said, I thought the inside was be a little moister/juicy. And the top of the buns were kind of wet. I would still order again though! read more

I wanted to try this place, and the first time I went, they were closed. I didn't realized they were closed from 3p-5p. When I was with my grandma and aunt, we decided to come back here again during opening hours. The parking lot is small, but finding a spot was no problem. The place is modern, clean, and welcoming. We ordered the chilled sesame chicken noodles, pork chive dumplings, dumplings in a chili sauce, and house fried rice. Chilled sesame noodles - 10/10 it was my favorite dish out of all the dishes we tried. The flavors were on point, very refreshing, not too heavy, delicious and just perfect on a hot summer day Dumplings in chili sauce - 8.5/10 my second favorite dish. The chili sauce upgraded the dumplings. The inside was moist and tasted great. I felt like the wrapper of the dumpling was a little thick for me. Pork chive dumplings - 6.5/10 these were decent. Not my favorite but alright. Again, I felt like the wrapper was thick and the flavor was ok House fried rice - 6/10 I've had better fried rice. This one was lacking in flavor, not as tasty and felt flat compared to the other 3 dishes. read more

We have Visited Licious twice already and had great experiences both times. We have tried their House Special Tossed Pork Wontons, Soy Braised Duck, and Pan Fried Pork Buns for appetizers and all were delicious and will definitely order all of them again. For the main dishes, Sesame Sauce Noodles, Sichuan Style Beef Noodle Soup, Braised Ground Pork and Pork Chop Over Rice were the dishes we have ordered and they were all tasty and satisfying. The only slight drawback was the beef noodle soup. It was good but I've had better versions elsewhere. Overall, fast service, great food and affordable prices! We will definitely be back for another visit! read more

Added to our list of favorite Asian spots in town! Everything was made fresh to order and so delicious! Their soup dumplings had so much flavor and really enjoyed their beef noodle soup. Our server was super kind and even gave Labubu keychains to our kiddos. This is so close to our home that we definitely will support when we can. Would definitely recommend to try for the nice ambiance and great asian food! read more

After keeping an eye on the latest noodle shop, Licious, on Southside Blvd that recently opened, of course we had to try them out. So glad we decided to try the fried pork dumplings as a starter; they were delicious! We were surprised how stuffed they were with the pork stuffing; this was a meal in itself. Next came the Thai red coconut curry seafood noodles. I was expecting a small bowl of soup, but was pleasantly surprised how big the noodle bowls are, with lots of seafood and plenty of your choice of noodles. The second bowl was Sichuan beef noodle soup, another great choice. Great service with our enthusiastic server, Amy, who paid attention to detail. Give them a try; you won't be disappointed!

Wow!! Outstanding new restaurant! Every dish was excellent, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the pan fried wontons. The noodles were a close second. Or maybe the soup dumplings. To be honest, I usually do t care for soup dumplings. These were the best I've ever had. The interior is well decorated, clean. The only odd thing was the choice of music. Christian rock just didn't vibe with the restaurant. I can't wait to come back! read more

One of the best authentic Chinese restaurant in Jacksonville. Prices are reasonable. Variety of choices: noodle soup, soup dumplings, pan fried dumplings and rice dishes. I had the braised pork rice bowl, crispy chicken cutlet and pan fried pork buns. All were delicious. If you order take out, they give you a cute reusable tote bag where the bottom is wide enough to pack bento boxes. read more

Checked out a new Chinese joint in town called Licious. I saw it on my feed and decided we should grab some lunch. We ordered about ten dishes, but let me share with you the highlights. Szechuan chicken - we ordered it extra hot. It was hot. It was great 9/10 Chili wontons - very mild, but would order again 7.6/10 Woodear mushrooms - absolutely delicious 9/10 Spicy soup dumpling - great taste when fresh 8.5/10 Chive pork shrimp dumplings - distinct chive flavor. Get again. 7/10 Shaved ice dessert - I mean how can you not liked shaved ice 9.5/10 Overall Licious is a nice addiction to Jacksonville. I will definitely go back and try some other dishes but there were several misses for us. Considering all plates range between $7-$12 it's affordable try many things. You've just got to find what you like. The Szechuan chicken was so delicious and the chili oil it came with coated everything we ate. It was spicy! Highly recommend. #eatjax #jacksonvillefood #chinese #szechuan read more

New spot, located in plaza, no issues finding parking. In for late lunch on Mother's Day. Good crowd but service was good. Amy greeted us with a smile and dropped of menus and took drink orders Items were tasty , hot and served timely. Started with some apps - the soup dumplings were very tasty. The noodle dishes were decent portions. You can order refill on the noodles but it's noodles only, no additional sauce or meats. Very clean and ample tables - good lighting Very authentic and the dumplings and potstickers had good flavor and lots of meat stuffing. Also cool to go containers, well made and seems as if they wouldn't leak. read more

Went to dinner with a friend and was pleasantly surprised! It wasn't busy at all, we were seated right away. We both ordered the Sesame Sauce noodles and shared the Shrimp and Chive dumplings, and both tasted great! Loved the handmade noodle texture. Good flavor and for a great price! The inside of the restaurant feels very elevated and luxurious, which you would not expect from the exterior of the building. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Wow first time at this newly opened dim sum spot on the Southside, and it was a hit for our family! We loved everything we ordered. The pork and shrimp dumplings were so tasty and juicy, and the soup had a nice little kick. My kids devoured the fried rice, and the dessert was delicious. The place is simple with a clean, pleasant ambiance, and our server was friendly and very attentive. Definitely adding this to my favorite dim sum places. read more

One of the finest Chinese restaurant in Jacksonville I must say. Me and wife went to this restaurant for our lunch date. I must say I had very minimal expectations as there are very less vegetarian options but I was blown away by the options that was created even if it was not on the menu. Our server went above and beyond to help us pick right dishes we both thoroughly enjoyed. For appetisers we had crispy fried tofu and scallion pancake which was nice and delicious. For entree my wife had the veggie dumplings and I had their veggie thin noodles which was mouth watering. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasant. Overall I highly recommend this place must try !!! read more

I tried the new restaurant, Licious Noodles & Bao on Southside Blvd last week. Wow! Best regional-style Chinese food I've had in Jacksonville. The place was very clean (almost to the point of being sterile) with a sleek, modern vibe. The music sucked but the food was great! I had the pan fried pork buns and the Yibin spicy noodles. The buns were large and cooked to perfection with a huge, subtly seasoned pork meatball sealed within an impeccably executed bun. Crispy on the bottom, soft and succulently delicate on top, garnished with scallion slices and black sesame seeds. I like that they keep the traditional Chinese black vinegar on the table to go with these, too. The noodles were terrific I asked for them extra super spicy with lots of hot Szechuan peppercorn and they DID NOT mess around! Even the places I used to eat at in Manhattan would always wimp out in the spice department when a white boy like me would come in and ask for extra spicy but these guys made it absolutely on-point. The noodles were thin and very long and were cooked to perfection. The preparation was complex tasting and the noodles dressed just right. The service was great and my waitress was very kind, good natured, funny and polite. I used to have to go all the way to Gainesville to get decent Chinese food at Sohao Café but not anymore! I sincerely hope that Licious lasts in Jacksonville a good long time. P.S. - I just HAD to go back again before I left town. Got the hot & sour glass noodles and the spicy beef & tripe. Both incredibly good! (see pix) read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Jax! The flavors are very authentic and nothing is overly spicy despite it being Sichuan Cuisine. The menu is limited but everything I've had was delicious! My favorites are the Sichuan chicken and the yibin noodles so far but the fried rice was also amazing! The service is great, staff is fast and it's a cute little restaurant off of southside read more

This place is phenomenal! The service was top notch and staff is super sweet. The food is amazing. I tried the mushroom salad, braised pork rice bowl, spinach dumplings, and soup dumplings. They definitely have the best soup dumplings in Jacksonville. Can't wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu! read more

Came here for Mother's Day dinner. We got seated right away. Our server was very nice. Our food came pretty fast. We had fried pork chop, Sichuan beef & tripe and spicy wings for starters. For our mains we had chicken soup dumpling, Yibin spicy noodles, scallion oil noodles, braised pork rice bowl and crispy chicken cutlet. The stars of the show were the fried pork chop and spicy beef & tripe. The kids just went to town with the pork chop. It was fried to perfection and the meat itself was tender. The beef and tripe was not too spicy and was very flavorful. The noodles were not bad either. Our least favorite were the rice bowls. There was something about the texture of the rice. It's almost like sushi rice but not. A little hard to describe. Just a bit on the mushier side than I prefer. The dumpling was decently tasty as well. We also had a couple of their house made juices - one mango and one lychee. They had real chunks in them and you can pick the level of sweetness. We picked 50% for ours and they were just perfect! The place itself had easy parking area in a small strip plaza. Inside is small but cute and clean. Overall, it was a pretty good no reservation required dinner. Our server surprised my kids with very cute keychains that the kids got excited about. It was such a nice gesture read more

The noodles and dumplings are very good. I really liked the spicy noodles, the pork chive dumplings, and the spicy chicken. The ambiance was very casual and super welcoming. read more

Not impressed. Came there and stood at the door to be seated but no one came so I just grabbed a table and seated myself. I ordered the duck and fish noodle soup. The duck was dry like it's been sitting out awhile and the soup has a weird taste. No way I'm coming back. read more

Brought our food out at different times so my soup dumplings were cold by the time by boyfriend got his fried rice. There was barely any soup in my soup dumplings. Fried rice was supposed to come with an egg, no egg and tasted like greasy take out. But, workers were nice, chicken cutlet was good. read more

AMAZING! Amy took great care of us and everything was great! The bao, wontons, scallion pancake... I'm dreaming about when I can go back! Fabulous! read more
