    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!

    Wow! A hidden sushi jem with a speakeasy vibe. I've been looking for a good sushi spot in the area since we bought our house three years ago. Nothing but disappointment until tonight. The service was outstanding (shout out to Michael) and the food was super-creative and delicious. We had the garlic butter edamame, surf+turf roll and the popping tuna plate. Chai tiramisu for dessert. Everything was perfect. It's our new spot!

    The most sophisticated restaurant in North Florida. Consistently good, excellent food and service. No other local Japanese menu compares.

    Food and ambiance was awesome but man did the service suck. By suck i mean very slow. If you want to be the hot spot in town then service should reflect that as well. We were at the bar and had drinks and dinner. For the price of food and alcohol service should be way better. It wasn’t even crazy busy. Other than that everything else was great.
