Norikase

We went to Norikase for the Omakase 17 course experience. It was absolutely magnificent! The 2 chefs were so awesome! They were so personable and talked with us all and explained so much. Getting to watch them prepare the food was great. Everything was fresh and tasted so good!My husband and a family member each did a couple flights of Japanese whiskey. They both really enjoyed the selections. The service, food and ambiance were all perfect. Highly recommend booking this experience. You will not be disappointed.

I had a delightful evening at Norikase that I won't soon forget! As soon as we arrived, our reservations were honored, and we were seated right away. We kicked off our culinary adventure with some refreshing Tokyo Sunsets cocktails, and for appetizers, we indulged in crispy karaage and a mouthwatering surf and turf.When it came to the main course, we chose the red groupers and a fragrant green curry hot pot, both bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. To cap off our meal, we couldn't resist the allure of chocolate crème brûlée for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finale.Every dish was a taste sensation, and the service was impeccable throughout the evening. The restaurant itself is a visual treat, designed beautifully with a warm, inviting ambience that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was an evening filled with great food, fantastic service, and a lovely atmosphere!

Definitely get reservations. The lighting was low. The bar was packed. The restaurant was full, but not too noisy. Friendly staff. Got the happy hour yellow tail appetizer, spicy tuna roll, and the Drama Queen. A lot of food! Very tasty. Will definitely be back.

I don't know I was missing this sort of sushi in my life -- and I don't know JAC had a sushi place that could be like this. Everything we had was amazing - from the sushi, the nigiri, the drinks, the edamame, to the deserts. The spicy tuna was out of this world as was the poached pear dessert. Fresh ingredients, high quality fish, and amazing service. What more could you want?

Wow wow wow ! Better than Nobu.. We drove several hours to come eat here . The sushi is high quality. Everthing melts in your mouth. They have a happy hour as well 5-7 . The sauces on the dishes are full of flavor and very unique. It leaves you wanting more and more. Service is also one of a kind . Dont miss out !

My large group came for kanpai hour on a Friday night. The bites we ordered (spicy tuna roll and garlic butter edamame) were so delicous. The rosie mocktail and shots were delicious, as well. The bartenders really know what they're doing!I will say, I think the late night hours could benefit from a selection of cheaper pre-mixed drinks that they could quickly sling. The tables and chairs could also be reoriented to promote easier conversation between large friend groups. This is probably not the vibes the restaurant is going, but it would definitely encourage more late night group outings. I don't think I would come back with a large friend group as the restaurant vibes are better for a more intimate date night.I've heard from friends that the service can be slow during dinner, but since we were one of the only groups there at the time, the waiters were very attentive so no complaints there!

I love this place! You won't get another place for flavor and fresh fish, the romantic ambiance then Norikase. Everything is very good. This is my third time here and it has never disappointed me.

What a treat to be treated. From the moment walking in to Norikase it was love at first sight. Arriving a bit early for our Omakase Tasting we bellied up to the bar. Ordered a drink and enjoyed the fire show from a far. The time finally came and we were escorted to the private Omakase Sushi Bar. Six strangers my son and I were greeted with a welcome cocktail and delicious oyster. Then the magic and deliciousness began. For the next 2 hours our tongues danced with delightful sushi delicacies. It was magic! The Master Sushi Chef and his assistant were entertaining and talented. I highly recommend this treat to everyone. Pics included but names I forgot.

Celebrated my bday there and I was treated to the Omakase experience. Each course was mind altering delicious and it was magic watching the chefs do their thing. My only critique was that I had the sake pairing and the timing was off. He poured it much too late after the dish it was supposed to be paired with. There was also a large party happening outside and every time someone came and went through the door, it brought in freezing winds. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. The chef was very personable and you could feel his love for the food he was putting out. I would definitely go again! Maybe to try their 17 course or just trying their regular dinner menu.

Went with two other couples. Total costs over $3k. So be aware. Cool place for drinks, apps, music and a lady that plays with fire. But in this economy it's not worth it to me. Service was great. The sushi was sushi. The chicken was chicken. The drinks were drinks. Again, cool vibe and atmosphere as if you're not in Jacksonville...but you are. Wish I would have taken pics to share and convey my points, but I was with others and wanted to be respectful of their company.
