Whenever I visit a restaurant for the first time, I always start with the most basic items on the menu. If you can do the simple, then you can do the exotic. 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 read more

Service was great so well as the sushi. Quick stop over in JAX beach and well worth a try. read more

I've ordered from here through doordash and the food was delicious but I guess lunch is a different story. The service is great but the habachi was doused with sauce which made it soupy. There was limited meat... 4 pieces of steak over cooked. read more

Wild Ginger - Steak habachi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

Wild ginger is a great neighborhood restaurant. The service is always extremely friendly and welcoming, you feel so comfortable dining in. They take a lot of pride in theming and playing their dishes with decor, like sushi platters. The ambiance is lacking but not really a negative. They typically do complimentary tea and a small bite. The sushi dining in (I do not order take out here because it is close by) is always fresh and flavorful. I like that it is a fusion, their hibachi is also good with large portions! read more

Great food and service. I will absolutely go back next time I am down. Highly recommended

Didn't have my side kicks (husband and daughter) with me on this visit or there would have been many more rolls eaten. Service was fantastic and food came out quick! As previous reviews, they bring you soup and a small imitation crab appetizer. I ordered the Mango tango roll. 10 pieces This was delicious with no spicy! read more

This was falsely advertised as a Thai restaurant and it definitely was not! The only Thai dishes they had were Pad Thai and 3 curry dishes. It was mainly sushi and hibachi. I ordered the Amazing Curry with chicken thinking it was like a Masaman curry based on the description but it wasn't even close to a good Thai curry. It was watered down and didn't have the deep flavor profiles that Masaman curries usually have. The chicken was pretty tender and juicy but didn't make up for the lack of flavor. I also ordered a piece of salmon sushi to give it a try and it was lukewarm. Bleh. read more

Very tasty food after a long day, a nice and relaxing place to go after work. Great service

Came here for lunch and they have great lunch specials! You can get sushi rolls or hibachi and I opted for the steak hibachi, which was yummy and plentiful. My boyfriend got sushi rolls and loved them. They each came with salad and miso soup. They also brought out this free roll too. Great service, food, and prices! read more

I attended an event nearby and stopped in with friends for dinner. We were seated right away. Our server quickly brought everyone water, a complimentary small bowl of clear soup and a holiday roll (fried sushi). First of all I was highly impressed to receive anything complimentary in this day and age. And both items were tasty and helps kill my hunger pains. My friends ordered several appetizers. My two favorites were the taki ebi, grilled shrimp with teriyaki glaze, and the krab rangoon. The sauces were bursting with flavor too. For dinner, I had the tonkotsu ramen made with pork and chicken broth, and included pork chashu, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots (which I ommitted), green onion, fish cake, boiled egg and sesame seed. The ramen was hot and delicious. It hit a spot on a cold night. And bonus, I can only eat half so I had leftovers the next day. I'm looking forward to stopping by again and trying some other menu items. And service was fast and friendly. read more

I stopped in to Wild Ginger recently with a few Yelp friends and really enjoyed it! The inside is small but pretty sleek and quite clean. Our server, Deanna, was friendly and funny! She stopped by quickly with complimentary clear soups AND a holiday roll. Both were great; the clear soup stuck out for having a flavorful broth. We grabbed a few appetizers: the agedashi tofu, yaki ebi, krab rangoon, and edamame. The edamame was standard (in a good way!), and the krab Rangoon was in the triangular shape and on the sweeter side -- I personally like that but know opinions can vary. The yaki ebi shrimp were cooked well, and the sauce they use is delicious. But it was the agedashi tofu that was the biggest highlight of the meal for me; the batter was delicious and crisp. For entrees, I went with a shrimp udon. It was tasty and simple with lots of bok choi, but I think I'd try something else next time just because of the breadth of interesting things on the menu. (One of my dining partners got a bowl of ramen that looked absolutely amazing.) Deanna also brought out complimentary fried Oreos for dessert, topped white whipped cream and sprinkles. It was cute and an unexpected pleasant surprise. I've spent enough time in the Midwest to have encountered fried Oreos before, and they do a solid job of them here. I'll be back! read more

First we will talk about our incredible server Morgan. She came to the table with a holiday roll, on the house with clear soup. She had so much energy, loves the food here and was very helpful with questions. The menu here is extensive but you can get almost any Asian food you desire. We started with a fire tuna roll. The slab or tuna was an inch thick. We like spicy and this hit the spot no Wasabi needed. I am mostly going to skip the salad except to say it was like any other Asian salad with ginger dressing. I had the yellow curry with beef. The best curry I have ever had. It was not soup consistency but meat and veggies served with sauce more like gravy than soup stock. The beef is not overcooked and the veggies were fresh. I sure wish I lived closer to this place. It was so good. read more

This place had a grand opening sign on front. We came in and were seated right away. Our waitress - Morgan - was so friendly! She brought us a holiday Roll and soup as soon as we were seated. She stayed on top of drinks and checked in with us regularly. She was fast to check in and made sure anything I ordered was free of bell peppers. The holiday roll was great! A sweet treat of crab, cream cheese, and sauces. We got the Fire Tuna Roll to share. Man it was great!! The Tuna and avocado was so big and the sauce flavorful! I ordered the Hawaiian roll. Again it was great on its own, I did add Wasabi and the sweet and spice was fantastic!! We also got fried oreo's for dessert. They were great!! Highly recommend!! read more

Joined some friends for dinner on a very cold Monday night. As soon as we were seated, we got complimentary clear soup and tempura crab stick appetizer to welcome us! Perfect to warm us up! Yummmm. We started with some appetizers - krab rangoon (little bit of sweetness), yaki ebi (very flavorful), agedasi tofu, and edamame. Everything was delicious. As for the entree, I went with the steak and shrimp hibachi (of course, I always do). It was very flavorful! The meat and shrimp was almost overcooked (I just prefer medium steak rather than well done), but still good. It was a hearty serving. And the fried rice was delicious, I took the rest home. Yay! Haha. My friends enjoyed their dishes as well. I don't remember exactly what they got, but I think it was - shrimp udon, tonkatsu ramen (no bamboo), and a poke bowl. Everything was presented beautifully! I don't think I got a picture of everything, we were too hungry. But it was pretty! Oh and to top it all off, they also brought out fried oreos for each of us AND fortune cookies! Whaaaaat! Great service - fast, friendly, and helpful with suggestions. Thank yooooooou! I'm glad we made the stop in! Thanks for the research and suggestion, MD! Hehe Good call! Until the next time ... SYOY! read more

Wild Ginger - B4. Sashimi Deluxe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Jacksonville Beach, Florida

From a friendly greeting at the front door with quick service and a free appetizer to start their lunch hibachi specials are great steak and shrimp is my favorite. I also enjoy the broccoli, onion and beef, great sauce and real meat. Unlike other restaurants the food is always prepared fresh and not sitting The place is clean and staff is very attentive. My son loves their sushi. We try to stop there at least once or twice a week hands down the best in Jack's beach for Chinese sushi and value. read more

I really wanted to like this place. Service was friendly, and the complimentary appetizers are nice. The online menu says they have katsu, but it's not on the in-house menu, and the waitress had no idea what I was talking about. I ordered the shrimp and vegetable tempura. There was a really nice selection of vegetables. My beef is with the shrimp, which was too skinny and tough, with way too much coating. The original concept of tempura was a very light batter. Nowadays, restaurants, at least in the US, seem to all serve it in this tick batter with a lot of crispy fried bits--panko, maybe? My husband suggested that they probably buy it pre-made, and I think he's right. Anyway, this is not authentic tempura, and aside from the lessened dining pleasure, it's much less healthy. read more

Good quality sushi, decent price, good staff. Nice presentation. Only thing is the wasabi was super fake. Like play dough in texture. read more

When is a sushi restaurant not a sushi restaurant? Well, when it becomes another sushi restaurant. From the space formerly known as Sake House, and more recently known as an all-u-can eat sushi restaurant (yeah, you know how sometimes something is too good to be true? All-u-can eat sushi is one of those things) comes WILD GINGER! The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. The new owners obviously put some money into the decor and it shows. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The menu is pretty diverse. Which is both a good thing and, well, an area of opportunity. First, they provide you with a bowl of soup and a fried sushi appetizer. I happen to like both but one or the other may not be to your taste. I do appreciate that they bring it out immediately. Next? The sushi. Like a LOT of other sushi restaurants, Wild Ginger has its share of speciality rolls. And also more traditional nigiri and sashimi. I found the fish to be exceptionally fresh and the rice was warm and sticky. Nothing makes sushi as bad as cold and hard rice. The bottom line is that Wild Ginger makes some good sushi. In addition, when I was younger I was told that part of the sushi experience is a visual one to go along with the taste. The sushi chefs here must have heard the same thing as the sushi comes out with pretty trees and lights and even some smoky effects! All nicely done and definitely adds to the experience. We also tried the Thai yellow curry and the tonkatsu ramen. The curry was pretty good. Better than what you could get at a Thai restaurant? Well, no, but it was decent and a good option for a non sushi eater. The ramen? Well, it just wasn't great. The broth was really bland, the chashu pork was tough and flavorless and the entire dish just didn't do it for me. There are also hibachi entrees and Chinese entrees (like General Tso's Chicken) on the menu. So really plenty of different items to try, I just don't know if they are as good as the sushi. The one miss aside, we really enjoyed Wild Ginger and will definitely go back for the sushi. And hopefully it stays around for a while. read more

They have some lunch specials that's why we came. We were trying to stay under 15 for lunch. My husband and I shared a meal. I thought it was very adequate portion. we got soup, salad, and dinner. It also came with a little sushi roll as an appetizer for free and a Oreo fried at the end. I wasn't a huge fan of the salad dressing. You don't really taste the ginger. Our server Loia was nice just limited english. read more

Service was great! Food was hot and had good flavor. We split the filet and lobster hibachi dinner. E16. We're so glad we split it as the portion was huge. We couldn't eat all of our food. The meat, lobster and vegetables were fresh. There were only a few Thai dishes to choose from. A lot of sushi choices. Wine selection was very limited which is normal. When you sit they give you a mushroom onion broth which was okay and a fried Krab & cream cheese thing which wasn't as good as dinner. The salad had way too much dressing but the salad was fresh. Overall, if we were staying longer we would go back. The waiter was so kind and did a really great job. read more

Dined out with friends. Seated in good time. Food was adequate. We ordered something from different country cuisines... as is the uniqueness of this place. I had a dairy free Japanese dish, but my first Thai request they could not accommodate without using the ingredient. Atmosphere was busy but not too intimidating related to noise. It's cozy inside with tables close as expected at restaurants like these... So why rating so mid? Staff and just OK food as there's better dedicated Japanese or Thai places in town. Waiter didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Didn't smile once nor did our party try to make her smile or laugh nor her counterpart who said they couldn't do the original order. But still... Food was warm... Staff was cold. Food was adequately temped. But that was about the only warm thing you'd find here... read more

One of the best and most fresh poke bowls I've ever ordered! I appreciate that they offer lots of topping options at no additional charge to the bowl.

Wild ginger has quality food with interesting flavors. The fried rice is great! Nice deep carmelization. The pad thai was flavorful but did not taste like Pad Thai. It almost tasted like a Sesame chicken sauce; rather sweet. The ramen was basic, but yummy; as was the spicy salmon roll. Quality food prepared well! read more

This restaurant is in a small center next to a Dollar General. Have been here multiple times and I try different items each time. This time I went with sashimi and gyoza. A bonus small fried crab roll arrived first. Tasty. Next was clear broth with mushrooms. Also a nice start. Tuna tataki was nicely seared and presented. The salmon sashimi had a great texture and flavor. Was delicious. I like steamed gyoza and it came with a dipping sauce. I like this place. Not overly noisy and you can choose a booth or sushi bar. So many sushi places seem to do the bare minimum to put food on the plate. No art to the food at all and is disappointing. Wild Ginger has shredded daikon, roe and other decoration to enhance the presentation. They also offer some Thai dishes. Next time I'm trying the yellow curry. Come support this local business and friendly staff. There is something for you on the menu. read more
