It looks like the rumors are true – sushi is coming back to Jacksonville. A sign on the Brooks Drug Store Building at 100 California Street reads, “Coming Soon! Another delicious reason to eat in Jacksonville!”
The Liquor License Post reads that the new business will be called Umi Sushi. The Publishers of The Review learned that it is owned by Kjae Nam – the same owner of Star Sushi in Medford (corner of McAndrews and Biddle).
Kjae and his brother are currently working on the building and have begun expansion into the small, narrow space next to the main restaurant space to increase seating size.
Umi Sushi will have Bento Boxes, fresh sushi rolls and sashimi, teriyaki, etc.
More details to come!
