This comment is just in regards to the idiot who didn't list his name. Calling people Chinks and Spics? What a racist moron you are! Saying that a place is a refreshing dining experience because there are no "Spics, Mexicans or Blacks?". First of all, ingoramus, a "spic" as you call it would be in the same category as the Mexicans you dumbass.If you ate in a place that you claim was swarming with roaches, then you're even dumber than I thought! Instead of you talking about people's ethnicity and using that to judge your dining experience, why don't you stick to judging the food. Better yet, why don't you go to school for a bit so you could get a little education. It's idiots like you who keep our country seperated. You should not even be allowed into people's restaurants your suth a blithering idiot. I hope you said something offensive to one of your waiters and they had the chef leave a little ejaculation in your food! That would be awesome if they did because you definitely would have deserved it. If you cannot accept people and their differences, then you're in the wrong country and maybe you should go live in an igloo somewhere. I doubt you would be missed. Get some class about yourself. Learn what you're talking before you try to insult someone and use sites like this to spew your bigomist views!

Way over-priced for anything in that dump. What do you call a Japanese resturant with a bunch of spics working in there? Chink-a-spics I guess. The Mandarin chicken was more like a frozen chicken breast with liquid smoke poured on it. My gal-pal Crunella was solicited twice in the restroom by a man dressed up in women's clothing. She caught him (it) peeking under the potty walls at her! Horrible. The pushy waiter "Hong" looked liked he belonged in jail. Sooo many tatto's and earings. Plus, it was obvious he didn't was often - he stunk! The whole place smelled like a sewer. I will never go back to that place. Too many roaches running around the tables and walls. I have called the health department - they have received too many complaints and are in the process of closing this place down. I liked the one reviewers comment. Nuke it with a bomb and destroy the place. NOW---For a wonderful dining experience, go to LeChamps in the Avondales...Very exclusive and succulent. No one but rich, upscale whites at LeChamps. No spics or mexicans or blacks. Such a refeshing dining experience.

Skip the "japanese crap" and stay healthy.

As a native Japanese...this place was horrible! It just goes to show that the majority of people will eat anything if you charge a lot of money and say it is exclusive! The service was slow and unprofessional. The food must have sat out for atleast 3 or 4 hours. Where is the freshly prepared meals that this place is always advertising???? My wife Yuko nearly fainted when the tempura dish came complte with a dead spider in it. The management wouldn't even give us our money back. Stay away from this place. The board of health we be in soon to close it down

That reviewer John Stackhouse must be on drugs. If this place

has the finest sushi in Jacksonville, I would hate to see the worst.

Nothing Japanese about the place - only the name. The Tempura

tasted like it was frozen out of the box. The Soup was cold and the

Ramen was overdone. One of the "Chefs" at the next

table inadvertantly cut his finger off while chopping some vegetables.

It scared the children so bad that they will be traumatized for

life. They didn't even offer those poor folks a free meal.

When I asked for a refund because of our lousy experience, some

kook with a phoney Japanese accent tried to give us a hard time. One of the chinks tried to grab my caboose and squeeze it. Art was furious and had to correct them man in the restroom. My husband Art, had to give the clown a good smack in the face before

we could get him to understand that we wanted a refund. Steer clear

of this Japanese Hell. It was the worst dining experience I think

I have ever had. We won't go back - ever. They need to drop an atomic bomb on the place and rid jacksonville of this Japanese chink factory!!!!!

No damn discount's for prominent society figures! Rubbish. The food was horrible and tasted like it was 3 days old instead of the fresh, piping hot entree's at Benni Hanna. Yes, this place and that other dump Shogun are both owned by the same owners. You pay way too much and get dog food instead! Keep out of this place. Daruma's Sushi gave my wife Laurie food poisoning. The food tasted like it was frozen out of the box and the owners are southern rednecks - not a hint of Japanese. I've had a better meal at Publix. Stay away from the place. For a great dining experience visit: LECHAMPS in the Avondales. It is exclusive and will pamper your every need. They even recognize you when you enter the door. Oh LECHAMPS is wonderfully appointed with a gracious waitstaff. The South African Lobster is flown in daily. Oh meal to die for. The Chateaubriand with LeChamps sauce Barbara melted in my mouth. You could taste the fresh Rosemary and delicately roasted garlic. My wife Laurie an I dine there at least once a week. That's LeCHAMP'S of the Avondales. Tell them Arthur Crofton sent you. Hope to see you at LecHAMPS real soon...Arthur.e

The best sushi in town! When I used to live in Jax. we went there every weekend. The best selection of rolls, very imaginative. The sushi chefs are friendly and make a point of getting to know you. It's a good place to be a "regular." If you are a sushi lover like me, definitely give Daruma a try. Convenient to the Baymeadows "cheap" theater right across the street. You can't go wrong!
