Fancy Sushi and Grill

It hurts my soul to be critical as I am so desperate for good Asian cuisine, but it’s still Yulee/Fernandina and this was just average, sorry. For the price, $20 for a poke bowl, maybe below average. On the positive side, we did appreciate a complementary basic miso soup and roll to start the meal. Restaurant did seem clean. Poke bowl not much thought into ingredients or presentation. Modest portion of salmon and wasn’t exactly sushi quality, dressing bland…a bit of edamame, a tiny bit of avocado and just a few slivers of seaweed. (No actual seaweed salad…) Corn? No thanks. Friend ordered Hibachi steak. Was a tough cut of meat and I actually watched my him struggle to chew a couple pieces. He asked to replace with chicken and the server tried to tell him it was tough because well done. No. It was clearly a lesser grade beef chopped into chunks and put on a stick. It also took them quite a while for food and I had to stare at my poke bowl for almost 10 minutes before the hibachi steak order was delivered to table…and that was before he requested a change! The website actually has a page about “The Chef”. We only saw a couple young guys and as one who has worked as a chef and seen sushi chefs in action, I don’t believe these were experienced sushi chefs.

It's a super cute little place. Very small so I'd personally call ahead of you have a larger party. The food is very good here. Doesn't take too long for it to show up to your table either. The staff is very friendly.

Fancy Sushi and Grill is a good spot for Asian cuisine. Their lunch specials are from 11 to 3pm, with good pricing and portions. The Hibachi was good, but I received a small portion of protein, six pieces of steak and two pieces of scallops. Overall the food had good flavor, nothing spectacular, but if definitely hit the spot for Asian cuisine.
