Sushiko Japanese Restaurant

My new go-to restaurant! The food is amazing. If you are vegan or gluten free, you’ll be shocked by how many choices there are. As in an ENTIRE vegan menu with over 60 options front and back! The flavors and textures were tremendous. Can’t recommend this place enough. Pictures don’t do justice.

Nice employees. Food is 3/5. The chicken and Veggies are cut to baby size. I am assuming to cut cost. O which made the chicken dry. The “filet” was not it. And the first pic shows “salmon”. I’ll just leave that there for you to make your own judgement. Good size portions though. The ginger dressing is 🔥🔥🔥

amazing vegan options! this cute little japanese restaurant has a full vegan menu with about a million sushi options. we got four rolls and all were amazing- v14 was the clear favorite. the service was friendly and prompt and the place was clean. there’s a big table set up in the middle for takeout, which does bring the ambience down a tad for dining in, but we wish we lived in the area so we could frequent this spot on the reg!

Delicious sushi with a completely separate and extensive vegan menu. The food was excellent and service was outstanding. Parking was a issue as it was street parking and I the weekend. Regardless this place is so worth going to!

So many rolls, so little time! Full on vegan sushi menu! What a time to be alive. Courteous prompt service and clean table upon arrival. We had delicious pan fried goyza and tempura mushrooms to start. I had the vegan chickn curry with fried rice and it was a tad skimpy with the sauce. It’s usually swimming in gravy but that was not the case. I also had the vegan JVR roll which was deep fried deliciousness. My partner had the vegan garlic roll and vegan shrimp tempura roll. The garlic roll was interesting and she loved the faux shrimp. Great experience except for the continually sneezing employee wiping down dishes after blowing their nose.

As someone who rally goes to Japanese places anymore because of the lack of creative vegiterian options, we were blown away at how many options they had. There was an entire menu just for vegiterian options which was probably around 30-40 choices. We got the pickle pickle, JVL, Avacado crunch, and spicy girl. Our favorites were definitly the Avacado crunch and pickle pickle for their good texture and flavors. The other two weren’t as exciting. The JVL was a bunch of fried stuff which I was expecting to have more of a crunch but it was more chewy and the spicy girl was a bit one note as well. The hot sake was good but wasn’t very warm. We got some for all of us and they ranged from Luke warm to slightly warmer. It was still decent sake so it didn’t take away too much from it. The service was great and the atmosphere was pretty decent as well. Overall a good place with an incredible amount of vegiterian options.

Can’t imagine this place is the same owners from when I first came here. That was a while ago and that place was Awesome. This was not at all! Staff needs to realize people need a second to breath before asking them are they ready to order. Didn’t even sit and we were asked are you ready to order, followed by 5 more times in 10 mins. Felt rushed from the moment we walked in. The Sushi was Subpar at best. Lots of rice with little tiny bits of fish (that wasn’t good). It was Garbage. Looks like they try to cater to go orders now. Four center tables all pulled together to have a make shift bagging station for to go food in the middle of the restaurant. No music, zero atmosphere, just a sad place. It’d be nice if this closed and people who can run a restaurant properly open a place because this ain’t it!

Sushiko is absolutely fabulous! Our dining experiences are five star, always friendly, relaxing and we’ve never waited long for our meals. Sushiko menu ‘s’ satisfy every and any craving your heart may have. Five Star dishes, every dish served has been satisfyingly delicious and fresh. Along with our favorites we order something new each time, this restaurant is amazing & authentic. Sushi, Maki, Sashimi and Vegetarian Sushi, we could eat Sushiko seven times a week! Dine in or Take out for nights at home….we love to treat ourselves and this is a favorite!

Great selection of vegan sushi! All the rolls we tried were good, we especially liked the garlic roll and the shrimp tempura roll. They also have a solid selection of sake. Will be back.

One of my personal favorite sushi spots in Jax. In the heart of Avondale, you will find Sushiko. A small little restaurant but it packs a big menu and lots to enjoy. Parking is on the street and since the restaurant is on a popular strip, you can easily park and walk to the restaurant. Typically never overly crowded during the week, the staff will quickly seat you. The menu has plenty options from typical sushi, to a full vegan and vegetarian menu. My favorite roll comes from their vegan options, the veggie roll. Their hibachi is also pretty tasty, I tried the chicken and steak. Sushiko is a great option and has a diverse menu with many options, which is why I'd recommend it!

Favorite vegan sushi!! This place is absolutely amazing and has an entire vegan sushi menu!

Should have listened to the reviews that said if you're not ordering off the vegan menu, maybe skip it. Our sushi was very sloppily trimmed. 3 of the yellow tail roll pieces were completely bloodline pieces, which I've never been served and I eat a lot of sushi. Not just a little attached to the yellowtail meat, but 3 pieces of the roll that were completely bloodline chewy, metallic, pieces. We got take out of 4 rolls and ate 2 before being grossed out. We also got chicken and steak hibachi which was okay, but we won't be this location out again.

This place is heaven for a vegan or vegetarian. They have an entire separate vegan menu with a TON of options. I've been coming here for years and I can't go without getting their vegan chicken fried rice and a few rolls, they never disappoint. They even have vegan shrimp sauce and vegan spicy mayo! I went with a gluten free friend once and they were able to accommodate her as well. When you dine in they give you a complimentary soup, but they don't include that if you pick up. They are on the pricier side of your average sushi spot, but the portion sizes are large so it's worth it in my opinion. Parking can be rough on a weekend afternoon, so prepare for that. They are in a great but busy area. The decor inside is in tune with your average sushi spot, so this may not be a top choice for an intimate romantic date. Much more casual lunch or dinner vibes. Oh, and they are closed on Tuesdays! Overall, this place is a must try if you're a vegan or vegetarian, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Pretty good! I love how many vegetarian options there are! My favorite was the avocrunch. I didn't really like the spicy girl very much. The agadashi tofu wasn't very good. Service was nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. It is in a great location right on a main street in the neighborhood. If I go back I am definitely getting the avocrunch again and probably trying something new.

All I can say about this place is WOW!! My vegan sister was visiting and finding restaurants that can accommodate her and also keep me and my husband happy can be sometimes challenging, but this place was absolutely perfect! They don't take reservations and it is a small restaurant, but we went on a Sunday night and didn't have to wait for a table at all. As soon as we walked in, the host asked us if anyone in the party was vegan. They have their own vegan menu, which was surprising because most places just offer one or two options. As soon as we sat down, they got our drink order and brought two clear soups, and one miso soup. The food choices were endless. I could not believe how extensive their vegan menu was. My sister was so happy and impressed. All the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place!!!

Stopped in last night for our favorites as we were doing a progressive dinner. Had the monster dragon ball and the kill bill specialty roll - both delicious. We hadn't been in over a year and after our stop in will definitely be back again. The lovely couple that own and manage it (10 years) were both there last night along with their 13 year old son and 8 year old daughter. The service was fantastic. Nice to see them still there.

Food was amazing. I highly recommend. Service was really fast. The ambience was peaceful and calm.

I came in last night for dinner. Sushiko is an interesting spot. My friends really enjoyed the visit and food. I thought everything was okay. My wife ordered a chicken hibachi plate which was tasty. She enjoyed her food and our baby ate some as well. They gave her enough that we had to bring some home. I ordered sushi and while I'm not the largest sushi connoisseur, I've eaten quite a bit of it around the world. I thought it was good, but maybe just maybe something was a bit off. The ambiance was pleasant with a very attentive staff. I had my water refilled several times in a short visit. The restaurant is small which makes it intimate. This is a good date spot. I saw a nice selection of saki and Japanese beers. I didn't drink any but they are your standard selection. Okay have to come back to truly know if I like it or not.

So glad we tried this place out! Very nice and intimate setting, servers are attentive and kind, food is excellent, cost is really reasonable. Honestly no complaints at all! Soda/tea is also refillable and not served by the can. Extensive vegan and non-vegan menu, so you'll definitely find something up your alley. The Pickle Pickle roll is an excellent vegan option! Also highly recommend the St. John's River Roll

My family and I were from out of town and was recommended to try this spot out for sushi, and we were not disappointed at all. First and foremost, we were very appreciative of this establishment in working with us in creating a new item for their menu. Let me explain from the beginning. We ordered several of the restaurants sushi as pictured (don't remember their names though), and we decided to ask if they could create one of our favorite sushi that was recently closed down in our hometown. They were a little skeptical on what we tried to create but we absolutely loved that they even tried this. Description they were given; - Tuna - Cream Cheese - then "flash fry" the roll so that the tuna will still be raw That's it. We asked for it to just fry it but not as long as you would for tempura though. First time they did it, was still great but wasn't quite as what what we expected. So we asked it one more time, with a less time of frying.........and they nailed it! We ended up coming back the very next day to order more with 2 rolls a person. This roll is called the "Kanpai Roll" as we gave the credit to the original restaurant that had this roll on their menu. Sushiko is definitely a great location to partake in the goodness they have on their menu. If you have time to try this creation, feel free to give it a go. Atmosphere is very nice and quiet. Able to enjoy intimate time with your family. Special Roll: Kanpai This sushi roll features a savory combination of tuna and cream cheese encased in seaweed and lightly coated in tempura for a delightful crunch.

Eaten here several times and really enjoyed their sushi, fried rice, and Vegan options. They have a WHOLE MENU with VEGAN everything (appetizers, entrees, sushi, desserts, sauces, everything!). We got several rolls that were a nice mix of salty, savory and sweet and enjoyed with the vegan sauces. I wouldn't recommend the fried Oreos togo unless you are gonna eat them in the car or at the table as they got soggy quick. Great cuisine, fast and friendly, and centrally located. It's a cozy quiet spot that was also open on Christmas Day FYI.

Food and service amazing. 2 full extensive Menus: regular Sushi & Vegan sushi We were immediately asked if we wanted vegan or regular menu and we wanted both due to our party. We had a party of six with variety of dietary requirements and eating capacity. The rolls were large generous servings. The menu names were cute and the options of ingredients and configurations of the choices were very creative. They have theme red lanterns on the outside and Asian movies of culinary scenes inside. it's a small place so I imagine there would be times that there would be a wait but it would be well worth it.

As a former vegan, this restaurant was so exciting!!! Their vegan menu is awesome and their rolls are very fun. I wouldn't get what I ordered again. But any roll with Tofu Skin or Tempeh is delish!

My girlfriend and I liked this place, the filet mignon hibatchi, 2024 sushi roll and banana desert.

Sushiko is a small Japanese restaurant that sits on somewhat of a corner in Riverside. The customer service was great, not just for my table but for the other customers and their delivery customers as well. We ordered a handful of things from both menus, they don't just have vegan options they literally have a whole vegan menu. Even though I'm not vegan, I appreciate the fact that they offer that for people who are. I ordered the vegetable teriyaki hibachi and the V19 I believe but don't quote me because they have a lot of rolls on their menu. The vegetable teriyaki was great, the fried rice was just okay and the shrimp tempura roll I had was just okay as well. The tempura vegetables were good especially the mushroom, oh and the vegan yum yum sauce taste just like the regular but maybe even a little better. It was a nice date.

We have gone to Sushiko numerous times in the past several years. The sushi and sashimi has always been fresh and good and this visit was no different. They have a very extensive sushi menu as well as a pretty good vegan menu. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. It's a smaller place tucked on one end of the Shoppes of Avondale. The smaller space gives it a more intimate setting. It is very casual and has a lovely Japanese zen decor. Good food, nice people.

Delicious! Insanely large menus with choices galore... Vegan menu available as well Fourth of July roll...tempura shrimp, real crab, tuna. Very good. Didn't love the sweet potato part on top but easy to remove. Super Crunch roll with cream cheese added-amazing! Clean restaurant Polite prompt service Amazingly fast food preparation and service Very fresh Parking on a Friday night was tough but worth the difficulty Cute little shopping/restaurant area

So many rolls, so little time! Full on vegan sushi menu! What a time to be alive. Courteous prompt service and clean table upon arrival. We had delicious pan fried goyza and tempura mushrooms to start. I had the vegan chickn curry with fried rice and it was a tad skimpy with the sauce. It's usually swimming in gravy but that was not the case. I also had the vegan JVR roll which was deep fried deliciousness. My partner had the vegan garlic roll and vegan shrimp tempura roll. The garlic roll was interesting and she loved the faux shrimp. Great experience except for the continually sneezing employee wiping down dishes after blowing their nose.

Tried Sushiko for my birthday dinner this year and it did not disappoint! Great menu with lots of option for everybody - even a full separate vegan menu. They accommodated our group of 12 with no issues - server(s) were quick, friendly, and attentive. We received our food fast and everyone left full and satisfied! I am looking forward to coming back again and exploring more of the menu, as well as trying some of the vegan options. A solid choice for sushi with something for everyone!

My favorite place and maybe the only place for vegan sushi options I've came here about 3-4 times they never disappoint. The sushi boat for 2, vegan noodles, and rolls are all good. Service can be slow when busy but nothing outrageous, vibes are great nice and cozy, I'll always be back and their on Uber eats !!

The vegan sushi is no joke here! The extensive menu is very impressive considering other places only have 1 - 2 that are the obvious avo or cuke rolls. The sushi chefs at this place has some skills. The staff is very friendly and the owner's wife is very conscientious about health, so that's always a good sign for a restaurant. The overall feeling in the restaurant is one of zen and peace which is always very good for your digestion!

Five stars for how vegan friendly this place is. As soon as you walk in the door they ask you if you want the vegan or non-vegan menu. They have tons of options for vegan sushi that it's almost overwhelming! We got 6 rolls and did enjoy them. However I think they should refine the menu and have 20 outstanding rolls instead of so much variety where not all the flavors stood out or were that amazing. Still, we enjoyed it and are happy to support places that offer vegan sushi.

We've eaten here multiple times and surprised to learn I hadn't reviewed them yet! They have a ton of sushi options as well as hibachi and teriyaki. They also have a huge vegan menu!! Dinner comes with soup, I think it's a clear soup. It's good. The first time we came in probably 3 years ago it was a busy Friday night and there was a very loud toddler at table by us and they gave us a free vegan dessert. The last 2 visits have been during and after the pandemic and it wasn't very busy in restaurant but seems that they do a pretty healthy carry out business.

Delicious food!!! I love the atmosphere in there. They also have a large menu for Vegans. Which I've had as well which is pretty delicious too

We ordered takeout from Sushiko on grubhub while moving in to our new apartment, and had a delicious dinner! I browsed the menu which was pretty huge to see which sushi rolls I was in the mood for. I went with the salmon avocado roll (my go-to) and tried their "triple roll": tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallions, fish eggs. My boyfriend tried the chicken terriyaki which was only $20 and included chicken, vegetables, rice, soup, and salad. My sushi was packed with large pieces of fresh fish. I didn't have any chewy bites at all. All of the sushi was amazing! I think I already found my go-to takeout sushi spot since this first experience was so good. My boyfriend also really enjoyed his dinner and especially loved the variety of veggies in the dish. My only complaint is the clear soup that came with his food was not good at all. It smelled bad and when I tasted it I had to spit it out. I'm not sure if it was old and went bad or if the taste was just not for me. It didn't taste like any other clear soup I've ever had from an asian restaurant. Overall - 5 stars! Great prices for thick sushi rolls. We hope to eat in the restaurant soon since their presentation looks so nice too! We ordered takeout a second time and had another great experience!

I went on a date here the other day and everything was super tasty! I was happy everything we ordered came out quickly because I was starving by the time I made it to the restaurant. We must have gotten there at the perfect time because it was packed once we had sat down. I don't really think you can go wrong with anything on this menu. The gyoza was very good! I also ordered two egg sushi and a deep fried Jimmy smith roll. I left happy and full off all that.

I was in town for a day and a half and wanted to order a take-out to enjoy the food at a park and the lovely summer weather. I thought sushi would do it, and I found Sushiko restaurant. What a treat! The menu offers a LOT of options, but I decided on Mr. Miyaki's roll: shrimp tempura, salmon, avocado, and another fish I don't remember. Also, I ordered two egg rolls. All was just delicious. The sushi melted in my mouth, and the combination of ingredients was perfect. I loved this place, and I hope I could stay in town to eat there. It is a small but lovely Japanese restaurant.

I was feeling sushi today so I came to check out this place since the traffic was bad going further away. Quaint place. Small corner restaurant. Parking in the back since all the side street parking was full. I was able to leave my umbrella in a bucket in the front. We were sat quickly. My daughter used the restroom. It was clean. They already had the drinks and clear soup on the table when we came back. No charge either, I was so thankful. When it came time to order, I had already looked at the menu before hand, so I knew what I wanted to eat. I ordered my usual salmon and yellowtail sashimi. I tried the triple roll since I was too nervous to try the Ichiban roll since I have never had red snapper or white tuna. My friend ordered the chicken and steak hibachi. My daughter had a side of fried rice and shared some of the hibachi with my friend. I ate most of their salad and gave the rest to my daughter. I loved the decor. They had a Japanese food show on tv that was interesting to watch even though it was in Japanese. I loved the quickness of the staff to clean off the table and refill my water as soon as it was close to empty. I would definitely come back. They have a HUGE menu. I love that since I can't have tempura or avocado anymore. I will definitely come back again in the future to try more.

Sushiko is great! They have a very large and extensive vegan menu with some amazing options that anyone will love. My favorite is the vegan chicken fried rice with vegan shrimp sauce! Their sushi is awesome, and I love to see veg-options beyond cold vegetables and some avocado. They really make it feel like I'm eating authentic sushi again! I've never had an issue with Sushiko's service or accuracy in their orders. They are a great place to grab some takeout from on a weekend night and have a great meal. It's a little expensive sometimes, but hey, what place isn't these days? I'd definitely suggest Sushiko if you're in the area!

The review I penned several years ago for Sushiko turned out to be a fluke. I've been meaning to update my rating for some time, because they are one of the most consistent sushi options in all of Jacksonville. Like everyone and their mother mentions in their reviews, Sushiko's vegan menu is off the charts. So extensive, so elaborate and so accommodating. Over 50 vegan rolls, in addition to a few other goodies. On my last visit, I went full on vegan and was thoroughly impressed with the selections. JVL / Top Veggie / Crunchy Tempeh all fresh, all delicious, all unique in flavor and texture, presented eloquently as can be. Tucked away on St. John's Ave. you can't ask for more coming here. Take advantage of the Yelp check in offer for a free chef special appetizer, because it's one of the finest apps in on this side of the River.

The best vegan sushi menu ever!! I come here all the time and the first thing they ask is vegan or regular menu. Based on that decision they bring out the correct soup (vegan or not) and theres over 50 rolls to choose from. Totally recommend coming here for sushi in Jacksonville

Saw this place with great reviews for vegan sushi, I agreed with these vegan reviews, however for real non vegan sushi, this place is not the place. Ordered 10 pieces of salmon sashimi, 6 pieces of white tuna and 6 pieces of yellow tails, one vegan roll and one green dragon roll, one order of veg tempura and one order of sweet potatoes tempura.. man, the wasabi they gave was like non existent. Wasabi was two tiny pinches and the ginger was very little too. Over all, will not go even if it's high rating ! But if you are vegan, it will probably be a 5 stars experience.

OK sushi, OK service. Dining environment left something to be desired. Table was sticky and not cleaned before we were seated and the booths are fit awfully close together. The young lady in the seat behind me couldn't sit still and was disturbing me throughout the entire meal because we were sharing a backrest. Free appetizer upon check-in thanks to their current offer on Yelp. Was a seaweed/avocado salad. Small portion but pretty tasty. My friend had the veggie fried dumplings as her appetizer and mentioned that they were to her liking. I ordered a few different sushi rolls and they were OK but I've definitely had much better quality. The Volcano roll had some less than pleasant "seafood" topping that did not taste very good. Philly roll was OK. Shrimp Tempura roll was not very crunchy and had a pretty bland flavor. The saving grace was the Salmon Katsu roll which I liked very much. The biggest downfall of the meal for me was that the sushi plate was garnished with a very large piece of floral decor... and definitely looked like it came out of the Petsmart fish tank decoration aisle. Could have done without the "flair!" I might order here for pickup if I'm REALLY in the mood for some quick sushi since it's close to home but unfortunately they kinda missed the mark for me in general. Maybe next time will be better.

Had dinner with my husband there last night. I selected the Shrimp Hibachi dinner. I was very disappointed because the shrimp was way over cooked. It was dry and tough. I'm not sure if I will return.

Great VEGAN menu! The sushi is...Always Delicious Every Time! Cut to just the right size for each bite!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sushiko! The vast vegan menu offers wonderful, gourmet-level options, just like the regular (non-vegan) menu. My husband and I regularly drive up to Jax from an hour away just to get this sushi. It's that good.

My first visit was during the Pandemic. Therefore, perhaps I had an atypical experience. How else could my experience be so different from the many good reviews I've read? I ordered online; 10 different types of sushi rolls. What happened? The rolls were void of taste, proper proportions, correct rolling technique, moisture, freshness, and satisfaction. I have 2 other sushi places I attend frequently. I tried this place because many friends raved about them. *These were the same friends I brought sushi to on my porch for a socially distanced dinner together. All I can say is they were shocked when they found out this food came from their favorite sushi place. So, it's a mystery as to why it was really bad this time. I will revisit after the Pandemic but stick to my regular places for the time being.

I don't like to write a bad review but just be honest, as a Japanese person. This was the worst Japanese food I have eaten. Sushi, fried oysters.. nothing close to "Japanese food". Trust me, save your money..... Publics take away sushi is better.

Best vegan sushi menu ever! I mean their regular sushi menu is huge but their vegan sushi menu is almost as big and that's impressive. So many yummy options here.

Ordered takeout one night and extremely pleased with our picks - really delicious! We got the Happy New Year Roll, Gyoza, and Dynamite. It was so good we forgot to take a picture. I will definitely order from here again.

ATTENTION ALL SUSHI LOVERS! You need to try Sushiko!!! OMG their sushi is life changing!! It is so fresh and delicious. They're menu is VERY extensive AND they have an entirely separate Vegan menu if that's more your speed. The restaurant is kind of small so I would recommend making a reservation on Fri/Sat nights just to be safe. I will DEF be back here next time I'm in town!

Best sushi in Jacksonville! They also have delicious hibachi! Always hits the spot and never disappoints. 10/10 recommend!

I'd give the entire experience 2.5 to 3 stars. My husband was really not a fan; my experience was slightly better than his. First, the highlights: -Fast, attentive service -Open late (we arrived at 9 p.m. and didn't feel rushed) -Big, flavorful seaweed salad -The sushi pieces we got with salmon were decent. The real issue we had with Sushiko is that my husband's sashimi was all ice cold. The screams "this was frozen at some point" which you never want when eating sushi. My salmon rolls were better, but still just "OK." Unfortunately we would not come back here for sushi.

R36. House Classic Roll R4. Tuna and Avocado Classic Roll. I was craving classic rolls and these were exactly what I wanted and well made! I'm always hesitant ordering take out from a new place and I ordered a little later (through Grubhub), but solid quality. I'll be ordering again for sure.

Hibachi was so good! It took a while to come out because they were SLAMMED with to-go orders, but it was worth the wait. The at filet was soooo soft. The vegetables were cooked perfectly too, not too soft or crunchy. Yum! The sushi was just ok. I wouldn't come out here for that. The only one we thought had some good flavor to it was the Hawaiian roll with pineapple. I know, it sounds gross and I would NEVER order something so crazy, but my husband did and that turned out to be our favorite roll. Totally recommend that one. But the others tasted like grocery store sushi. Wasn't too impressed with them.

Decided to have sushi after dropping jewelry off across the street. We had been here before COVID, not sure if it has same owner or not. Was more expensive than last time but you need to consider the location and current inflation. We were seated promptly and the staff filled our drinks, delivered soup and took our order promptly. I had a couple of rolls, my wife ordered individually pieces of sushi. Waiter memorized the order and it was correct when it arrived and served promptly. Sushi was fresh and well made. The establishment was clean and neat. Will go again in about 10 weeks when my watches are ready to pick up .
