    This restaurant never disappoints. Probably the best sushi/asian food in Jax. Service staff takes great care of customers and gives excellent explanation of every item.

    Good meal, lots of potential. The major things that detracted from our experience however were that so many dishes were served at once. High end Japanese experiences serving Nigiri, Sushi, etc should be served one at a time, otherwise it forces the guest to feel rushed to eat, rather than savor these small dishes one at a time. Additionally, the cuts of fish were often very thick. When eating these types of meals, I’m not worried about getting as much fish as possible on a piece of nigiri or as sashimi. Similar to how I wouldn’t want a thick slice of prosciutto, the same goes for fish for nigiri or sashimi. Otherwise, the flavors were great and the servers were very kind and attentive.

    Cosy bistro atmosphere, creative Japanese cuisine, highest quality ingredients, great selection of draft beers, including my favorite Hitachino Nest White Ale. Excellent place for a night out on special occasion. Quite expensive, but worth every penny.

    I had an incredible dining experience at Norikase in Jacksonville Beach! The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, making it perfect for a special evening out. The omakase experience was exceptional—each dish was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the freshest ingredients and creative flavor combinations. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, walking us through each course with great detail and enthusiasm. Every bite was a work of art, from the perfectly seared Wagyu to the melt-in-your-mouth sashimi. The sake pairings elevated the entire experience. Norikase is a must-visit for sushi lovers and anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure. I can’t wait to return.

    Very creative menu, rotating seasonally to stay innovative. Lovely dining room. Music generally on the louder side is the only detraction.

    I think the only reason to come back is for the Omakase experience. After that any normal sushi place will be just as good to me and better on the price

    One of my favorite restaurants in Jacksonville! We love it for date nights and get togethers with friends. Our last experience, we got to sit at the counter where you can watch them make sushi. Beautiful service and amazing knowledge of each dish and drink. You won’t regret it!
