For me this is a one and done type of restaurant. Loved the atmosphere and everyone was nice. It’s a seasonal menu- we ate here in January and it was still the fall menu… It’s more of an experience. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. Then there’s a mandatory 20% SERVICE charge no matter the group size. If you have an extra 100+ to spend try it out.

Norikase sets a new standard for high-end, modern, and gourmet sushi in Jacksonville!! Every aspect of this restaurant reflects a commitment to excellence — from the attentive, professional staff to the meticulous detail in every dish. I had the pleasure of experiencing their Omakase, and I have to say: it was worth every single penny. Each course was an elegant work of art, prepared with visible skill, care, and passion right in front of us. The entire experience felt on par with a Michelin-star level restaurant. The atmosphere only adds to the experience, with a bar program that is easily one of the best in Jacksonville. The cocktails are crafted with precision and creativity — a true highlight of the evening. Norikase is everything you could hope for in a fine dining sushi experience and more. It deserves to be recognized among Jacksonville’s finest! A special thank you to the wonderful staff who made the night unforgettable — to Jorge, the mastermind behind the bar, and to Chefs Francis and Joseph for their artistry and hospitality.

I celebrated my 40th birthday here with 34 guests and had an amazing experience! I was able to reserve the entire outdoor patio, which made the celebration feel private and intimate. The service was excellent, and the food was phenomenal — everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful space for larger gatherings or special occasions. Shout out to Emily and Michael for making sure everything went smoothly 🎉

If you’re looking for a birthday dinner that feels truly special, 13-course omakase is the way to go. From the moment we sat down, the team made the evening feel celebratory without ever being over-the-top. Every course was a tiny work of art. Highlights for me: Toro nigiri—melt-in-your-mouth and perfectly balanced. Seasonal sashimi flight—delicate slices that tasted like the ocean in the best way. A warm, umami-packed miso broth served mid-meal that refreshed the palate for the final bites. The pacing was spot on: just enough time to savor each piece while still keeping the excitement for what was next. The chefs explained the ingredients and origin of each fish with genuine enthusiasm, which added so much to the experience. Ambiance-wise, the café strikes that sweet spot between upscale and intimate. Lighting was soft, the counter seating let us watch the precision knife work up close, and the background music stayed pleasantly low. For a birthday dinner, it felt like the perfect combination of luxury and warmth. Price-wise, it’s definitely a splurge, but every bite—and the personal attention—makes it worthwhile. Bottom line: If you’re celebrating a special occasion in Jacksonville and love sushi, book the 13-course omakase at Norikase. It’s a memory you’ll talk about long after the candles are blown out.
