Pandan Leaves Asian Bistro

This was our third time visit Pandan Leaves Asian Bistro, every time we travel back home to Jacksonville, we always make time to stop here, it has truly become a MUST visit for us. On this visit, we tried some different menu items, including the Bali Roll, it was so refreshing gooood and the Cheesecake Flight which comes with three different flavors. The vanilla was my favorite, but honestly, all of them were delicious. My husband absolutely loved the Takoyaki, which I believe is one of their newer menu items. For $10 the flavor and quality are amazing, you really can’t beat it. It’s clear how much care they put into their food, and everything we’ve tried has been consistently good. In fact, the food tasted even better this time, with more variety on the menu. The staff shared that since the restaurant transitioned to new ownership, they’re still refining the menu, which honestly makes us even more excited to keep coming back and see what’s new. My husband and I can’t wait to return and try more dishes. Another thing we love is the location, it’s so close to the airport, making it the perfect stop for a great meal before catching a flight. Easy in, easy out, and completely stress-free. Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed without being pushy, just genuinely welcoming service. Next time, we’ll definitely sit on the patio, especially with warmer weather coming up. From the cozy atmosphere to the food and overall experience, this place truly feels like home. Great taste, great service, and a restaurant that keeps us coming back every time.

I’ve been to a couple sushi places in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beaches so far, and I can confidently say that no one comes close to Pandan Leaves when it comes to quality of service. Their rolls are consistently crafted with excellent care and are always tasty and succulent. You can tell they take great pride in the quality of their dishes - many, many credits to the chefs who take the time to prepare it all. 😁 I think what makes this location in particular stand out is the welcoming and authentic demeanor that the staff always treats us with. Emma and Chika (apologies if I made a misspelling) have always treated us with great hospitality (and might I add, not judging us for coming in almost everyday!) and they truly make the experience what it is. Today, Emma had us try their new Indonesian triple shot espresso. It was very nice and rich, huge recommend for any chocolate lovers! ☕️🍫 I am happy to recommend Pandan Leaves to anyone seeking a quality, local, yet refined sushi experience.

Honestly this was not a good experience, the sushi was not good. The rice was a sourish mush it was not pleasant. It was our first time there, maybe it wasn’t good to do the all you can eat sushi option as the first time dining there. We opted to pay the penalty price per piece of sushi because we just couldn’t finish it because of the taste .Maybe we will be back to try their other menu items that is not sushi seeing how they have good reviews and maybe we just went on an off day and late at night. The toppings for the sushi was not too bad the rice was just a no. I didn’t remember to take pictures of everything also service was super slow.

The best AYCE sushi place in Jax, hands down!!! I've tried pretty much all of them, & Pandan is the place I keep coming back to regularly, I've tried to come weekly when I can. The quality of the sushi is amazing, everything is super fresh & delicious, & generous portions. Haven't had an opportunity to try any of their other food, but everything always looks so good. Would highly recommend coming here if you're looking for amazing sushi at a great price!!!
