The Top 3 Sushi Places in Jacksonville, FL

Sushi Bear Sushi and Grill

Located at 4530 St Johns Ave, Sushi Bear is open from 11 AM until 10 PM Monday through Thursday, and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, their hours are noon to 10 PM. Expect very good service and very good food here. We love this place for quick lunch.

We recommend that you try some of their lunch specials that run from 11 AM to 3 PM Monday through Saturday. Lunch specials from the kitchen come with salad, vegetable, rice, and noodles. Sushi bar specials include soup and salad. We particularly like the hibachi shrimp, the vegetable tempura, the pork katsu, and their 10-piece sashimi lunch.

Open Sushi

Open Sushi is located at 9930 Old Baymeadows Rd and opens for lunch from 11 AM until 3:30 PM Monday through Friday and for dinner from five to 9:30 PM. On Saturday, they are open from noon until 9:30 PM. They are closed on Sunday. This restaurant is very clean, the servers are friendly, and you get large portions for a good price. The presentation here is especially nice.

We really like the stir fry noodles here, especially the beef yaki. You should also try their shumai (shrimp dumplings), and the hiyayako starter, which is tofu with flaked scallions and soy sauce. Be sure to try their yellowtail roll, the tuna avocado roll, and their delicious spicy white tuna roll.

Fancy Sushi

Located at 7083 Collins Rd #102, Fancy Sushi is open from 11 AM until 10 PM Tuesday through Thursday and until 11 PM on Fridays. On Saturday and Sunday their hours are noon to 10 PM. They are closed on Mondays. This is a great place to sit down and enjoy your sushi in a calm atmosphere.

Sometimes you can feel a bit cheated by the sushi or sashimi set meals at a restaurant, as if the chef is throwing at you whatever isn’t selling well and is left over. You’ll never have that feeling at Fancy Sushi with their sushi deluxe or sashimi deluxe meals. We also really enjoy the red snapper teriyaki here, too.

These are a few of our favorite spots for sushi, so we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Visit us at Tom Bush Mazda for a great new ride to get to these sushi restaurants!
