The food was so yummy! There wasn’t anything we tried we didn’t like. We ordered karaage, pork belly and prime beef skewers, salmon don, nomu sushi, matcha tiramisu and lychee cocktail. Our favorites were the karaage, the salmon don(salmon over rice. It was cooked in a delicious sauce w avocado slices but was kinda small. Not pictured), and the prime beef skewers(so tender) but everything was tasty. The sushi was delicious and the sushi chef even gave us a few extra pieces and a salmon nigiri to try:) the service was great and everything came out quickly but we went right when the opened at 4pm. Definitely recommend and will be back!

Every single dish we ordered was incredible—this might be my new favorite spot in Jacksonville! It’s great to see young guys opening a restaurant with such high-quality meats and bold flavors. The kitchen is impressively fast, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out. While the floor service was a bit slow and could be more attentive, I wasn’t in a rush and the food more than made up for it. I’ll definitely be back soon to try the cocktails!

Nomu Izakaya is an absolute win. From the moment you sit down, the vibe feels dialed in. Relaxed, welcoming, and just the right energy for great food and drinks.
The sushi was fresh and beautifully prepared, the nigiri lineup hit every note, the hand rolls were generous and balanced, and the takoyaki came out hot, crispy, and packed with flavor. Drinks were equally on point, whether you’re in the mood for a cold beer or a well-crafted cocktail.
Bonus points for happy hour from 4–6 PM, which makes it even easier to enjoy top-quality food and drinks without feeling rushed or overpriced.
Great service, great atmosphere, and consistently excellent food. Easily a go-to spot and one I’ll keep coming back to.

All I can say is. Holy crap! From the moment we walked in it was like we stepped into a local Japanese spot. Our server Steven was arguably one of the best servers I’ve ever had in any dining experience. He was attentive, knowledgeable and very personable. The food was excellent, from our apps to the main courses of sushi everything was done perfectly. This may be the best sushi restaurant in Jacksonville. I plan on making return trips here to eat more things off of their menu. The vibe was impeccable, the atmosphere was spot on, if youre considering going here. Do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it.

This place is fantastic! The ambiance is great, and the food is amazing. The menu had so many delicious options that it was hard to choose. The interior design is also very nice, with a whole Japanese theme. The food arrived quickly, and everything was very tasty.

I should have written this when they opened many months ago but I totally forgot . Oh my goodness! This place serves the best Ootoro hand roll (fatty tuna) for only $15! It was incredibly fatty and exceptional quality. I also tried the Uni nigiri, which was melting in my mouth. I was completely missing out on this sushi experience for a while. This restaurant makes me feel right at home in Japan, and I genuinely believe it’s the best Japanese restaurant in Jacksonville! The staff is always friendly and welcoming.
The ambiance is so Japanese as well. They have Yakitori grill station inside and they make really good Yakitori with charcoal. ( just like Japan )
You must try this place if you think you know about high quality sushi & japanese food.

Nomu was fantastic! Family owned, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The tuna tartare appetizer and salmon don were the highlights for us. Also the matcha tiramisu is homemade every morning, definitely worth a try. We’re excited to come back here again! Also shout out to Arya, he really made the experience next level for us.

First time here and it definitely won’t be my last. I can honestly say I was impressed. It’s very rare to like everything on the menu, and I must say everything was really good including the desserts. All the staff were wonderful and they were very accommodating considering I am pregnant. I came here with my friend, JY who has been here multiple times and I can see why now. This is my new favorite sushi place. I brought some food to go for my husband to try and he was really impressed as well. The owner came by and introduced himself. I am glad they opened up this place. Everyone was welcoming and atmosphere was nice.

From the moment you step into NOMU Izakaya, you can feel the difference. The environment carries an unmistakably positive frequency—calm, welcoming, intentional, and alive with energy. Everything about this place feels aligned: the atmosphere, the people, the service, and the food all operate in harmony.
The space itself is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed, creating a sense of comfort and ease that allows you to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Food preparation is clearly handled with precision, care, and pride—every dish arrives fresh, beautifully presented, and deeply satisfying.
What truly elevates NOMU, however, is the people. The manager, Ed, is visibly attentive and engaged—present on the floor, observant, and genuinely invested in both his guests and his team. Watching him interact with customers and staff reflects strong leadership and respect, which clearly translates into the seamless experience delivered here.
Our 接客係 (sekkyaku-gakari), Alice and Raymond, were outstanding—warm, intuitive, and perfectly attentive without ever being intrusive. Their professionalism and positive energy enhanced the entire evening and made us feel genuinely valued.
We have visited twice now, and both experiences were nothing short of exceptional. Not once did the quality dip below true five-star service. Consistency like this speaks volumes.
A quick note for anyone planning a visit: weekends require a reservation. This place is always packed—and that alone should tell you everything you need to know.
NOMU Izakaya isn’t just a meal; it’s a high-quality experience that resonates on every level—service, cleanliness, energy, and flavor. Deeply appreciated. Highly recommended. I will absolutely be back again.
