JANA STEAKHOUSE

I write reviews only when I love a place, and want to share it with others. So it is with great pleasure that I encourage anyone who wants delicious Teppanyaki food (Hibachi) and is traveling through Jacksonville(or if you are fortunate enough to live near Bertram Park and want to experience a delicious and entertaining night out), try Jana Steakhouse. The waitstaff was so accommodating; the server who brought our drinks was quick to correct a lemonade order with too much ice and brought us another one right away with no problem. Very kind and friendly as well! (She laughed at my husband's jokes;-). Most hibachi chefs have a very entertaining "shtick", and "Mike" was no exception--but when we started to get past the entertainment level, we found he was extremely knowledgeable about the culinary arts as well. Our steak was cooked to perfection (and good rare steak is "rarely" that!) It was seared on the outside, deep ruby red on the inside, and, as he showed us the trick to keeping steak juicy and well seasoned, he never stopped working on the food for the other guests at the table. My scallops tasted like LOBSTER, they were that good. The veggies were seasoned to perfection as well. What a delicious surprise for two exhausted travelers who just stopped there on our way to someplace else--but we WILL BE BACK--the next time we drive through Jacksonville. "Domo arigato" to the whole staff of Jana!

We had so much fun coming here for a family get together. The service was great and the food was phenomenal. The staff were all friendly and accommodating to our needs. We will be back more often, just the two of us and with the family!

Finally Made it to Jana after them being open for almost 4 years now! The reason it took us so long was sense they also seemed to be on the pricier side but lucky every so often we would get a coupon in the mail for $25 off if you spend $75 or more (which isn't hard even with just 2) though it can't be used on Friday or Saturday but Sunday night hibachi dinner was calling our name.We arrived around 7 and had no problem getting seated. Our waitress took our drink order rather quickly and I went with the Raspberry Vodka Lemonade. It was nice a tart which I like and had a good kick to it as well.For my entrée I went with the Scallop combination with Beef. Now this hibachi does not come with noodles like many do so I added them for I what I believe was $4.65. Now you did get 2 shrimp with your hibachi as well so that is something.We went to order another drink but they told us the bartender had left early so all you could get was beer/wine or saki which was weird but we made it work. We of course did get soup and salad which our hibachi dinner both which were what you would expect. Our chef quickly got to work making everything. The veggies, fried rice, and noodles were good and you know I had to get extra of that Yum Yum Sauce. Our entree were then ready and my steak was cooked just about right. Maybe a little over done but that's to be expected. The scallops were cooked well which was good because they can be over cooked easily. I got 5 with my order but they were for sure on the thinner side. I will say for the price the servicing sizes where for sure on the small side from what I'm used to but I had been able since we actually sat at a hibachi table since this is the only one that gives for full experience in our area. We might be back since again it's the only in our area and if you get a group of people you will have a good time especially if your chef gets out the saki in a bottle and lets you see how many seconds you can do. (the number to beat is 23 seconds). I probably would not go without a coupon though just because of the price and the serving size.

Have eaten here several times since it opened and always enjoy our meal and dinner experience. I feel the rating should be higher than a 3.5 so I'm leaving my 4 star. While not the best Japanese steakhouse I've been to, still very solid and I recommend.

A little pricey but they have greatly improved from when they opened. If I am craving hibachi and didn't want to drive all the way to the towncenter it's definitely worth the stop. Staff was very kind, chef was funny, ambiance was loud but to be expected with hibachi. Overall much better.

I have eaten at Jana Steakhouse several times! Tonight didn't disappoint! Watching the chefs perform/cook the food at our table has always been fun. The show at Jana is usually entertaining, even when there are young kids at the table (who get scared of the flames.) Today's show wasn't overly exciting, tho. Seemed like the chef didn't really want to be at work. The atmosphere is usually pretty loud but tonight it wasn't bad at all.... We were there pretty early in the evening, tho. Maybe that's why ‍. The staff is always very attentive and all stay busy with their tables! Food is always delicious! Restaurant is always clean! I've never experienced a problem worse than having to ask for a refill. Highly recommended.

Second ti.e here and we love every! Friendly staff, great food, and quite a nice atmosphere. The place was clean, no smell or smoke, and was not really busy on Monday evening.

We came without reservation on a Friday night and had to wait about 10 minutes, the wait for teppanyaki table was about 45 minutes. It was very smoky and a little hard to breathe at the space, but the food turned out good.

The service and food were good, but the temperature in the restaurant was unbearable. I walked by the thermostat and although it was set to 70, the actual temperature was 84 in our side of the restaurant. 84!!!!!!!! This should be a big safety concern for a restaurant.

Food was very overpriced. The shrimp and the chicken were both hard and rubbery, the fried rice was just white rice with some thing brown sprinkled over the top of it. I would not recommend this place. Go spend your money at the chocolate store. It's about four stores down.
