When we entered Wild Ginger, we were greeted pleasantly and shown to our table. During our drink order, Small cups of soup were placed before us along with a multi portion fried roll. This was done free of charge. I ordered an avocado salad and a sashimi appetizer. The avocado salad was fresh contained an entire avocado and served in a small bed of greens. There was a ginger dressing just on the grains and then a tangy creamy sauce for the avocados. It was presented in a very lovely and organized way. Next, I had the sashimi appetizer, a selection of four different kinds of fish, very fresh end of good quality, generously, sliced, and again the presentation was beautiful. The aesthetics of the restaurant are new modern Japanese and quite relaxing. My favorite part is it's a nice restaurant in easy walking distance of Neptune Beach. Highly recommended

They offer bar seating but forget to mention that the bartenders will ignore you and you'll need to get their attention to get ANYTHING. Water... had to ask. Silverware... had to ask. To place an order for appetizers... had to ask. To place an order for drinks... had to ask. To place an order for entrees... had to ask. For the check... had to ask. Love to feel like a bother and paying for it at the same time But really I have never visited this location and has good or great service. Most importantly after spending so much time here my friend and I both spent the night up sick. Not sure if it was from the wings or the ramen but it seemed we both had a slight case of food poisoning. Overall save yourself the time and drive to other ramen places available in Jax, as there are much better ones that won't leave you sick.

True to form, we ordered way too much and somehow still left wishing we had room for more. This round: soup dumplings, chicken udon, chili noodles, and of course the famous pull-apart roti that will forever own a piece of my soul. Every single dish had its own bold flavor moment while still somehow complementing everything else on the table perfectly. That balance is honestly what Hawkers does best. And my "off menu" drink? The Ube Spritz. Yessss please. I need that in my life permanently. The only thing better than the eats, the drinks, and the vibe was our server, Kermit. Absolute standout service. If we come back and he's working, we'll gladly wait however long it takes for his section. That's how good the experience was.

I got the pork tocino and the fried shrimp plate. The pork tocino was so flavorful, tender, and it had a nice ratio of fat to meat. The shrimp were a good size and I got the tossed in the garlic parmesan sauce which was so good. The garlic rice was flavorful and complemented the meat well. The macaroni salad is on the sweeter side which is how I prefer it and the egg was cooked perfectly. The portion size was also good for the amount you pay and the wait was not long at all. Overall a great experience and I'll definitely be stopping by again!

Karai Ramen Bistro is a full on experience and one of the best restaurants!…read more The restaurant is dark, intimate, and tucked away in a way that makes you feel like you've discovered a hidden gem. The vibe is fantastic and the staff matches it perfectly, friendly, warm, and attentive. We went twice in the late afternoon and never waited for a table, which is a huge bonus for a spot this good. The small plates alone are worth the visit. The Katsu Sando Sliders feature crispy chicken katsu on soft potato bread with fresh cabbage, katsu sauce, Japanese mayo, red onion, and sweet pickle peppers, every element working in perfect harmony. The Potato Korokke was equally incredible, perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with katsu fried potato and vegetables paired with katsu sauce and Japanese mayo. The Gyoza were perfectly crispy Japanese fried chicken dumplings, and the Harumaki was a great addition too. Everything fried here is done with real skill, the crunch is always there and never overdone. If you love spice, the KakuKara Ramen is an absolute must. A rich, creamy sesame broth made from chicken and pork stock with Japanese hot sauce and red miso, it is spicy, deeply flavorful, and completely addictive. Loaded with pork belly kakuni, homemade pickled peppers, cabbage, cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds on those perfect curly noodles, it is everything you hope ramen will be. If you prefer something milder, the Katsu Shio Ramen is a beautiful classic, a delicate Japanese sea salt and dashi seasoned chicken broth with shiitake mushrooms, katsu chicken, red and green onions, and the most wonderful onsen tamago custard egg that takes the whole bowl to another level!

The ramen is masterfully concocted by a genius, it's absolutely perfect! Everything we've tried is delicious from the katsu curry to fried octopus, it's all fantastic. I ordered the Akai katsu ramen and modified it by adding the suggested pork belly and spicy beef and was blown away at the balance of spice and flavor and I honestly have no idea what they do to the jammy egg in the ramen but it's crazy creamy and flavorful, like no egg I've ever eaten, the dish is magical. I ordered online and it was all packaged so nice and secure, fyi togo is 2 doors down. It's seriously the only restaurant I want to go anymore it's so amazing! And they're so nice and happy when I go and it's a neat little vibe. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant

Like... next-level good. The dumplings were straight-up addicting and disappeared way too fast. We also ordered the bulgogi fries and they absolutely hit the spot -- savory, filling, and great for sharing. The noodles were awesome and comforting, and even the lemonade stood out (which says a lot because I don't usually notice drinks like that). Overall, everything we tried was solid and well-executed. Great flavors, good portions, and a menu that makes you want to come back and try more. 9/10 -- highly recommend if you're in Jacksonville and craving Korean fried chicken.

As for the food, we ordered the chicken fried rice and it was very bland with no seasoning or flavor. The chicken was also dry and flavorless. I ordered the twice-fried chicken with 3 drumsticks and 5 wings, and everything tasted overcooked. This spot is definitely not how I remembered it from two years ago. Not sure if it's under new ownership or management, but something has changed. Sadly, not really tempted to come back.
