Yashi Sushi — Restaurant in Jacksonville

We finally tried this place after years of people saying the sushi is pretty good, and we were not disappointed! We placed a to-go order that included Krab Rangoon, Veggie Tempura, Crazy Roll, Chef's Roll, Fantastic Spicy Tuna Roll, Superman Roll, Chicken Teriyaki Marki Roll, and Miyazaki Roll. All of the items are in the attached photos (minus the krab rangoons and most of the veggie tempura since it was already eaten).

The Miyazaki Roll was probably my favorite. It's deep fried and includes smoked salmon, krab, cream cheese, and eel sauce. My second favorite was the Chef's Roll. It includes shrimp katsu, avocado, and cream cheese wrapped in cucumber with a homemade sauce.

We usually frequent some of the all you can eat sushi spots around town, but the quality of the sushi here was so much better in my opinion and worth the extra cost. I normally find myself drowning everything in shrimp sauce at the AYCE places, but this sushi was so good that I barely used any.

We will be back, and we will probably try dining in next time!

Update: We dined in, and it was still really good! Added a photo of our food, minus the apps, for the in...

I came here with my wife and son, along with my mom and brother. We decided to try it out based on the other reviews here. The first problem we encountered was that the parking lot was not at the front entrance where the hostess was. The entrance from the parking lot required you to come in through a side door and squeeze your way through the cramped restaurant, which was quite difficult carrying a baby in a carrier. The second problem was when we made it to the counter with the hostess, we told her that we had 4 people and we needed space to put my son's carrier next to us. Her response was " I don't have any tables available so...". I don't typically like to tell people how to do their jobs, but I felt the need to inform her that usually a hostess would give an expected wait time in a scenario like this. Finally we sat at the tables outside to wait for a table inside to become available. Once they told us a table inside was available, no one led us to the table, they simply came outside and told us there was a table then ran away back to the kitchen. We all quickly left and found another place...

Changing my rating, 6 years ago I left this place 5 stars. I dunno what's happened, but today I got an order picked up bc I'm epileptic and can't drive and when it arrived the salmon skin roll was burnt black and tasted like charcoal, stuff was missing from the special rolls I got and instead of an apology I was met with some guy telling me I was wrong about what comes on/in the roll and the salmon skin is fried that way and they don't put masago on their rolls, etc even though I'm looking right at their menu. After telling him I'm lookin at the menu he proceeds to tell me they don't put eggs on top anymore because people don't like them. Eventually he said come back and I'll make another one, but by this point it's just ridiculous. Over the years I've spent 100s at their restaurant. Not anymore. Truly disappointed. Maybe Grace and Frank aren't there anymore, it was good when they were. Needless to say money wasted and half thrown in the trash due to it...
