This place brings elevated vibes to Jacksonville while leaving pretension at the door. Their cocktail selection and food menu are carefully curated to match the incredible ambiance they have built.

We had a reservation and had to wait 10 minutes to get seated and another 15 minutes to get water on top of that two of our four rolls came out 20 minutes late. Overall, the food quality was good, but the service was completely unacceptable. there was no manager in sight handling the lack of staffing and slow service. the establishment needs to get their customer service together.

They treated me terrible on my birthday. made a reservation so far in advance and wouldn’t seat my party for over an hour. our server took 15 minutes to come to us and never checked on us. our food came out in 30 minute increments and forgot some of our stuff. i had to ask for a manger three times. food is great, you’d really expect more consideration or common decency for a place like that. it was so awful. i said i needed to leave many times and it took them over 20 minutes to give us our checks. the manager took half the bill off.

Recently moved here from Seattle and wanted to have a date night and experience what Jacksonville had to offer in terms of sushi. We had reservations and were immediately greeted and seated. The decor and ambiance were very nice! All of the staff were very attentive and never had to wait to order whatever we wanted. Bonus there was a fire performance there that happens on Fridays at 7pm so that added to the upbeat atmosphere. I tried at least 5 different cocktails and all of them were perfect! I tried 3 of the rolls on the menu and they were all delicious, but the LUXURY ROLL was the clear winner! I'll definitely be back!

I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Norikase, the Japanese restaurant, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my positive thoughts on OpenTable. The entire evening was a culinary delight, from start to finish. First and foremost, the food was simply extraordinary. The quality of the fish was top-notch, and the culinary creativity displayed in each dish was truly impressive. The selection of rolls we indulged in was a sheer delight, and I can't recommend the Surf + Turf roll highly enough – it's a culinary masterpiece. The nigiris were impeccably fresh, a testament to the restaurant's commitment to using only the finest ingredients. Our experience was made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and enthusiastic waiter. They demonstrated a deep understanding of the menu and were more than happy to provide insightful recommendations. Their attentiveness and respectfulness added an extra layer of warmth to our evening, making it even more memorable. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Jacksonville, and Norikase's Omakase experience is on the top of our list. If the regular menu is any indication, we can't wait to be surprised and delighted by the chef's creations in the Omakase tasting. Norikase comes highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience in Jacksonville.

Absolutely incredible. We have tried the Omakase before but this time we were in the newly opened restaurant side of things and holy moly. It did not disappoint! The vibe impeccable. I didn’t feel like we were in Jax anymore! The food matched the vibe and service was sharp. Can’t wait to go back again.

This place was amazing!! Service, ambience, and food was absolutely amazing. Food was super high quality and fresh. The menu was very unique and delicious. The only reason I gave the value a 3/5 stars is because we ordered a decent amount of food and we were both still hungry after!

Absolutely great! Definitely a special place for a special occasion! The sea bass, shishito peppers and charred octopus salad were all wonderful! I did see a couple of people not respecting the dress code. Norikase is elegant and I hope they maintain high standards of decorum and the dining guests should honor the dress code.

Outstanding food , service and fabulous atmosphere. Taste and presentation of the food is amazing. In my opinion, the best I’ve tried in a jacksonville thus far. Amazing service by our waiter Michael, he was on the ball and attentive throughout. He was knowledgable and explained very dish thoroughly. Each dish held its own uniqueness. Beautiful, ambient resturant setting with a great vibe.

Booked and then saw the dress code requirement. A little much for a strip mall restaurant, next to an outdated movie theater. Got there. Atmosphere was great. Saw a few men in shorts and flip flops, which was against policy, so odd. Ordered drinks. Took about 28 minutes for 1st drinks. Food was good. Took another 18 minutes for second round of drinks. Waited over 25 minute after this for the bill. All in all for $200+. We won’t be back.
