Hana Moon Japanese Restaurant

Finally!! I've been looking for a good sushi place since I moved here from Atlanta several years ago - tried many in Jax and was not impressed. However, we tried Hana Moon for the first time today and loved it! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was excellent! We got the Takoyaki, super dynamite roll and sashimi. Everything tasted great and the sashimi was fresh and good quality. We have finally found our new favorite sushi (and more) spot in Jax - will 100% be back for more!

I ordered their lunch special, 3 rolls for $13.99 (I believe), which is a great deal. Service was quick and our waitress was very attentive. I got the Philadelphia roll, California and Spicy Tuna. I thought the rolls were just okay. I’d be interested to try some of their other foods, but probably would pass on their sushi if I went back.

What a lovely place. Modern atmosphere with jazzy music. All waitresses have iPad to take your order in. Food comes relatively fast. I personally judge a place that serves sushi by the way they prepare their raw fish so all new places being tested with the order of rainbow roll. They did not fail. Exquisite cut great texture and flavor. Everything is fresh and lobster roll is interesting with mango sauce. If I had to be picky I’d say seaweed should be served on the bed of cucumber slices but it is fresh and have crunch to it with sweet taste; also some oil was used to taste I’m imagining it’s sesame oil. The menu is huge with wide variety of dishes like poke, sashimi, hibachi and more. Surprise as a dessert at the end melted my heart. Thank you. Overall A + highly recommend!!

This has become my absolute favorite sushi place is all of Duval and St Johns county. The sashimi is soooo fresh, the rolls are delicious and the Ramen is heavenly!!! They are so friendly here and welcoming. Our server Sherry was so super sweet and even surprised me with a little birthday dessert the ambience is chill with bossa nova music in the background and you feel like you are in a little hidden gem!

We ordered the rice cake appetizer, Naruto roll and steak and scallop hibachi. Everything was delicious. We could have eaten fifty of the rice cakes! The sushi was fresh and the ponzu sauce was well balanced. The steak and scallops were cooked perfectly. The flavor of the sauce was great. The portions were large and service was prompt and kind. We will be back next time we are on this side of town.

My wife and I have had an extremely bad experience at a restaurant called Fancy Sushi. We found out about the Hanna Moon from a friend who recommended it highly. My wife and I both had the shrimp for lunch and it was excellent except for one thing. For our next order, we would like to have a little less sauce. Other than that, it was great.

Great experience every time! The staff are always friendly and provide very quick service. The food is always amazing. The Volcano Salad for the appetizer is a must! I love all of their rolls with Mango, it gives a nice sweet touch. They bring out a perfect little dessert at the end as well. All of their Sake is great too!

It's a nice place recommended by our Airbnb host. It was easy to park, and we were sat quickly. The service was good even though we ordered the tofu appetizer, and our waitress had forgotten it; thank goodness we asked for it again; it was delicious!! The boat special with the moon special roll and chef's choice was excellent; all the sushi seemed fresh and was prepared perfectly. The miso soup was delicious, and the ginger salad was nice (my wife was happy, but I'm not a ginger fan). The only thing we would recommend is finding something less toxic-smelling to clean the tables with. It made me and my wife nauseous (maybe use less?) If we were in town, we would come back for sure!!
