    Hibachi Chicken

    Wanted to try this as it is the highest rated Japanese that isn't a sit down hibachi within probably 15 miles of my hotel. First off, service is okay. Not terrific, but just fine and what you expect for takeout, so not an issue whatsoever. The place is a little hole in the wall tucked over on the side of a strip mall type shopping center. No tables inside so takeout only. No self serve soda machine, just bottled drinks at a little too high if a price. The food was very good. The hibachi chicken entree came with rice, noodles, chicken, and veggies. I thought it was pretty expensive but it was a very large plate of food so the price made sense. Everything was well cooked and mostly tasty besides the noodles. They were all but flavorless without yum yum sauce on them. The yum yum was very good here, wish I'd gotten some extra. The soup was actually terrific, but I didn't try the salad because I couldn't even finish the soup and more than half the main plate before being full. Overall a very good experience and I'd go again for sure. I can certainly see why it's the highest rated Japanese takeout on the west side of Jacksonville at the time of my own review.

    Like many other Yeeps in the area, I was intrigued by the consistent string of 5-star reviews for Sushi Yee, and the songs of praise sung within these reviews. "Fresh....inexpensive...amazing...." However...I wasn't entirely sold on the idea of a sushi restaurant fashioned like the typical Chinese take-out joint, and being that I was so skeptical and I wanted to make sure I had all the bases covered, I visited Sushi Yee twice before I started this review. Being that I have seafood allergies (unfortunate, I know), I called in and ordered my go-to sushi staples, the sweet potato roll ($4.50), and the chicken tempura roll ($5.00). Nothing fancy, but like I said, my options are often limited. On both visits there were a couple of other patrons there seated at one of the few tables waiting for their to-go orders. "No-frills" sums up this establishment to a tee, complete with the quintessential overhead pictures of popular items, bottled and canned drinks, and take-out menus piled on the counter. After a brief wait, I went to gather and pay for my order. I noticed that there was only one small container of shrimp sauce in my bag for my 2 rolls, and when I asked for some more, I was told there was a 50 cent charge for each extra 2-ounce container. One shrimp sauce for 2 rolls? Not cool, when they set a whole bottle of it on the table for you at most sushi restaurants. I reluctantly paid the extra for 2 more and whisked my food away to enjoy at home. I'm not sure if they were in a hurry or if it was the type of rice that was used, but my rolls seemed loosely packed, as several pieces fell apart to the touch. The Sweet Potato Roll is a cooked roll, yet on both occasions there were chunks in every section that weren't done all the way through and had that awkward "raw" crunch to it. The sauce that was drizzled over the top had a little kick, and was a welcome addition, but the roll in itself was a sore disappointment. Thankfully the Chicken Tempura Roll came through for me, although once again, several fragments fell apart. Well-presented, savory, and altogether delicious, this was definitely the saving grace of both visits. I'm not 100% committed to Sushi Yee as of yet, because frankly I enjoy the full-service sushi restaurant experience too much, and if you notice, there's hardly a price difference between the two, from the sushi rolls to the hibachi dishes. Additionally there's some kinks to work out here as far as preparation and execution that are difficult to overlook. I'd would much rather pay the extra few bucks to tip a gracious server who throws in a free appetizer roll or dessert than have an establishment nickle and dime me for extra sauce. Till next time, my fellow Yeeps, support your local eats and businesses, and as always....SYOY!

    Finger nail

    DO NOT ORDER !! After my friend and I spent over 70 dollars on an order from this restaurant through DoorDash, I found not one, but TWO FINGER NAILS in my food. By the time I found bit into the finger nail, the store was already closed. We all know what the texture of a finger nail feels like when you bite it off, and we all know what it looks like and feels like in our hands. It was most definitely a finger nail. AND THATS NOT ALL, as I mentioned, the store was closed by the time this issue occurred. when we called the next day and told them, expecting some sort of compensation or at least acknowledgement of the issue, they told us to "take it up with DoorDash" and "there's nothing we can do for you" as well as set the phone down, and then hung up as we were speaking. HORRIBLE customer service. 0/10 recommend. My next call will be to the department of health.

    Chicken hibachi
    Cuey M.

    I've been meaning to come here for a while but normally when I order Japanese it's my wife and I dining in. Well, one day I couldn't figure out what I wanted so I called in my order and dropped by to pick it up. A soup, salad, spicy tuna roll and a chicken Hibachi ran me a little over $21. I thought everything was good, however wish I had the option for clear soup - lady never asked on the phone what kind of soup along with which salad dressing. Also, the spicy tuna roll could have been a bit better, but I really enjoyed the Hibachi. I'll be back and give this place another shot.

    Old lettuce.
    Jessica L.

    Really disappointed. Ordered take out and got home to find old and wilted lettuce for our salad. Felt extremely ripped off when we opened our entree and noticed the ratio of onions was exaggeratedly higher than the ratio of our chicken. Oh and we got only one...ONE piece of broccoli for the whole tray. I guess with all the time spent adding onions the broccoli became an afterthought. I was really hoping to like this place as it was our first time ordering there but this was a horrible first impression.

    Tuna/salmon roll

    We stopped by here for a quick meal. I think this is a solid 3-the location is a bit sketchy and the place is takeout only. My husband and I both got the sushi lunch special for around $10; two rolls with soup and salad. Miso soup was tasty, had some mushrooms. The rolls were ok. My husband got spicy tuna and spicy salmon (pictured) and I got spicy krab and shrimp tempura. He didn't finish his meal, stating that it lacked flavor, the two kinds of fish were indiscernible, and they looked a little icky. My rolls were fine, the spicy one had good flavor but the tempura one was bland. The spicy ones had panko on top to add crunch. The salad was literally a few pieces of wet iceberg lettuce and a container of dressing. Probably won't be back.

    My facebook review i made on 12/21/16 I used to pass by here on my way to school and pointed it out to my mom one day when we went to redbox for movies. We stopped in and i got 2 rolls and mom got some soup. once you spend a certain amount you get a free roll an other items which is pretty cool since we always end up getting food for my brother and dad as well. This is some of the freshest and well put together sushi i have seen,the prices are decent and the food is good. The owner is really nice as well. she sat and talked to us for a bit and is always really friendly and remembers us when we come in. We have went back several times since this visit and i recommend it to anyone near us 12/1/17 its been almost a year since my first time trying sushi yee. My mom absolutely loves the onion soup and we go by almost weekly to get her several cups. I still love the combos they have where i can get 3 rolls, a salad and miso soup, My favorite meal is the Sushi and Sashimi Combo 6 pcs sushi, 10 pcs sashimi and 1 California roll or tuna roll. The ginger sauce they give you for your salad is really good too

    Okay... So this place isn't far from home and the reviews drew us in. We came in and grabbed and menu. This place is set up as a to go spot but there are tables. However, you order at the counter and service isn't provided. The prices are that of a full service sushi restaurant. Yet the experience, ambiance and service is removed. Everything is served in aluminum to go dishes whether you dine in or take out. Strange. I'd also like to point out that a place that clearly advertises more than one dish containing Escolar... It's best to be cautious. Escolar isn't fit for raw consumption for most and sometimes is disguised as white tuna. Google the issue... If you're a lover of sushi you know this is bad news. We did get a tempura appetizer and the Spicy Tuna bowl to go. They were both prepared on the spot and packaged up we all we needed to eat (in the car hence no photos.) The tempura batter is a little too thick and overpowering for the veggies inside. The Spicy Tuna bowl was quite surprisingly good. The temperature was nice a cold. Crisp cucumber strips on the bottom. A mound of spicy tuna topped with fresh avocado and drizzled with spicy sauce and sticky soy. I shared with my husband who also agreed it was good. I would certainly go back for this. The sushi is made fresh ( I watched him prepare another couples food as we waited.) and the place is clean. The prices are that of a traditional sushi spot. However, with different items to check out that I have not seen in other places. Just please educate yourself on Escolar. This is a huge turn off and if I return I will make sure none of that ends up in my order.

    Lunch special
    Anh D.

    Five stars for a cheap, quality sushi lunch. For $9.95, I got 3 rolls, a side salad, and miso soup. The soup was pretty good, but the salad was just lettuce and ginger dressing so it was lacking a little. I got THREE rolls for this lunch special- Alaskan, shrimp tempura, and salmon rolls. They were good sizes, and contained a decent amount of fish. Each roll was very tasty, and well worth the price tag! The shop itself is a little hard to find, tucked away next to a publix. There were only 4 tables inside, and the employees could've afforded to be nicer, but the food was great!

    Very pleased with my lunch combo spicy tuna and philly roll for an awesome price!

We started with the edamame, with the sea salt and truffle oil, which is always delicious. The service over the evening was very slow, and we spent a lot of time waiting on food. We sat in our favorite spot at the bar window so our server also appeared the be working behind the bar and was busy making drinks. We love sake and usually get a bottle of the Noble Arrow. We asked for a recommendation and the server recommended the Soul of the Sensei, which is $107 for the bottle. We were celebrating our 24th anniversary so we went for it. He said it was on the dry side, but we found it very unexpectedly sweet, almost like a moskato wine. It wasn't surprising when we read the back of the label and saw the flavor profile was all the way on the fruity side, with notes of Muscat grape. We definitely made a mistake by not tasting it first, so we ended up asking for a bag to take it home and ordered 2 glasses of the Noble Arrow. It was a disappointing start. Next we ordered the yellowtail carpaccio, which was very good, although the size of the fish pieces overall seemed smaller than usual. Everything we ordered over the evening was undeniably tasty, but small. We got the Usuzukuri salmon and when they brought it, they had the tuna carpaccio as well. The person who brought it said it was a gift. Later, we were charged $2 on the bill for the "gift." It's not much, but it's just that giving us a gift and then putting a charge on the bill for it was very strange. Overall, I still love the food at O-Ku, but this was not the best experience. We had gone there previously for our anniversary and they made it feel special. This time there wasn't any kind of recognition besides possibly the "gift" we had to pay extra for. And the service was so slow that we ended up drinking the bottle of sake we didn't like rather than waiting for another drink order. Every place will have its off nights, and this unfortunately seemed to be one of them. I would still recommend going there, because even though the portions are tiny and expensive, the taste is delicious.

    This is a long overdue review. I have been coming to this location way before the new AYCE sushi…read morewent into action. When I first came in after the remodel I was skeptical, but day after day (hit after hit) Wasabi delivers. The food is AYCE and is made fresh to order. I'm a huge fan of nigiri so this is such a dea. Normally two pieces could easily be 5+ at another location. Don't like sushi? No worries! They have hibachi, tempur, soups, salad, dumplings. This is a great place to take people new to sushi who are discovering their preferences ( please consider the sweet potato sushi, it will be better than you anticipate). Please be warned, there is a price per sushi piece left behind. While I never seen the staff bring down the hammer, it is a clearly written rule. Also, if one person at the table orders AYCE then shares their food you will be charged for two AYCE (which makes sense). The interior is simple but the vibes are immaculate, super laid back and they often give small gifts during certain holidays. The AYCE is approx 16 dollars until 3, their dinner prices increase. Make sure to check their schedules times before heading over. (Try the salmon skin salad)
