The egg rolls are gross--it's mostly all wrapper and doughy on the inside, clearly mass manufactured and cheaply too with barely a hint of cabbage and tiny bit of carrot in it. The Karaage was not as good as it used to be, and the curry was awful when it used to be delicious. The chicken Omurice was still delicious with lots of chicken chunks and the portion was much larger, but that's not enough to bring us back again.

I can't even count how many times I've been here and I've never been disappointed. Really everything just tastes perfection every single time. Service is great as well. They do have hibachi room with a great show, but I've always just ordered from the sushi side because it's that good. North Carolina roll is my favorite. Haven't been able to find anything quite like it anywhere in the country thru my travels. Highly recommend this spot :)

The last time I wrote a review for Wasabi was 4 years ago.

Wasabi truly still has my entire heart and I rarely go anywhere else for sushi (Hubby and I only do the sashimi and nigiri). We order takeout more than we dine in but the cuts of fish are still fresh like I first remember, the service is still really great and it seriously feels like I never left. I love having a place like this to return to.

Seems everyone else on my side if town had gotten it too. I did have to wait for my food, but while in the restaurant they told me the response to the flyer had been overwhelming.

Nothing to write home about, but for quick takeout on my way home, it was good. Kids enjoyed the sushi with not issues. I will order takeout again to try them on a day they might be less busy.

The way the fish is displayed in the restaurant doesn't look fresh or very safe. Would not recommend eating in house or ordering. Can't believe people re-order from here it's the worst I've had.

You can choose to order from the regular "A La Carte" menu which is priced per item, or you can choose to do all you can eat (white menu) for $24.99 per person. Note: you cannot share if certain people in your party choose different menus, and there is a .50-$1.00 charge per left over item you cannot finish. I highly recommend eating the all you can eat menu as just ordering two sushi rolls will be the equivalent. Their ronin roll and steak Yaki Udon is the BEST. They actually use thick marbled pieces of steak, not the thin flimsy cuts. Overall, I'm super happy and this is totally worth the money.

It's a rather large restaurant in a large strip mall. There's plenty of parking and different dining experiences. There's a sushi bar, a bar, hibachi, and the standard sushi dining area. Shogun is similar to a lot of restaurants in Jacksonville. Sometimes there's an "off" day. Every restaurant has those days. Shogun is no different. We've had great to below average times here. Today we enjoyed our meal. Today wasn't too busy so we were seated promptly. Our server provided our menus and took our drink order (water). We order the sushi for two. Comes with a variety of sushi, miso soup, and a side salad. The soup and salad was delivered after a short wait. As we finished our soup and salad our sushi plate with two small plates was delivered. The server poured our soy sauce. The food presented well. The quality and quantity were perfect for us. Our server was good and attentive filling our waters and removing used dishes as we dined. Our experience here today was very good. We enjoyed our meal and experience. If you've been on the fence about trying this restaurant, I recommend giving it a try. Even if you don't like sushi, they have plenty of other options.

Mandarin Asian Restaurant absolutely knocked it out of the park! And can we talk about Aquilas?…read more(I'm sure I didn't do her name any justice but I tried to spell it!!) She gave, hands down, some of the BEST customer service I've had in Jacksonville... period. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. Cutely decorated in asian decor. It's actually very well lit for pictures too! lol I ordered the Spicy Chicken Pad Thai, and it was incredible. The flavor was spot on with just the right amount of heat. I also had the lettuce wraps. They were a little sweeter than my personal preference, but they were still fresh, flavorful, and very well made. Great food, exceptional service, and an experience that makes you want to come back. If you're in Jacksonville, do yourself a favor and ask for Aquilas you won't be disappointed!
