Norikase - Modern Japanese Omakase & Sushi

Enjoyed a nice dinner here.
I’d recommend going during happy hour as there are a decent amount of dishes you can choose from that are a few bucks cheaper than the regular menu.
We selected a wide variety of options to have a lot to try and my highlights were the surf + turf roll (fav!), crispy brussel sprouts, A5 nigiri, and toro nuta.
Dinged it down to a 4 because we felt rushed even though it wasn’t full by any means.
Servers kept coming to check or take away plates and one time she picked up the plate before we were finished so we had to ask for it to be put back down.

I have so many great things to say about my experience here that I don’t even know where to start! Service: Exceptional! I took my friend here for her birthday and we were taken care of by Mike who personally went above and beyond for us! We were treated SO well here.
And Mike was so knowledgeable about everything on the menu and had a true passion for the food, everything he recommended we loved.
He was so patient and didn’t rush us which I really appreciated.
Although the food was incredible he was really what made our night! We also had a few other people who would help out and refill our water or bring us our food and they were lovely too (shoutout to the really pretty, bubbly girl who was so sweet, I didn’t catch her name unfortunately). Food: high quality, amazing flavors.
Everything came out so beautiful and was so delicious! Nice portion sizes.
Lots of variety. Atmosphere: STUNNING.
They have multiple sections that are all gorgeous.
The ambiance was immaculate. I had a 10/10 experience here and I cannot wait to go back and try the other things on the menu!

Great time, glad we tried! My friend and I decided to try Norikase during my visit to Jacksonville and I'm so glad we went! Prices are decent for the product offered, though, like most sushi places, prepare to spend $$$-$$$$. Drinks were delicious - I did a Tokyo Mule and it was spicy and gingery.
The sushi was great.
We got the Spicy Tuna and the Aburi Sake, which were great! Highly recommend.
The Luxury role was nice, but a bit earthy for my taste.
We splurged on the Wagyu sashimi, so good, too.
I'm not new to Wagyu beef, and I thought the preparation was just perfect for the bite.
Finally, the creme Brule was 10/10, so yummy. Our server, Sam, was the absolute sweetest.
She checked on us and kept our waters full and gave good suggestions.
Very good experience. I mentioned the luxury role wasn't super exciting, but the Blueberry Smoked Himachi may have been a bit too exciting.
We weren't big fans.
We were also sat in the back of the restaurant but not outside, and that area has significantly less ambiance than the front or patio.
We did the happy hour at the bar before dinner and, while it's beautiful, the chairs were uncomfortable and tough to get in and out of, and the service was rushed.
