Best & Cool Bars in Kingsley Lake

"Chef Dennis Chan’s restaurant was a Southside Boulevard landmark for more than 15 years. No doubt he’s hoping for similar longevity and success with a striking new Blue Bamboo rising in Mandarin. The new, larger space will feature Chan’s classics—vegetable spring rolls, hoisin chicken lettuce wraps, sweet and sour chicken and basil-miso salmon."

"Blue Bamboo is a unique name for a restaurant and it shows on their menu. The place is known for its Asian fusion dishes which feel both traditional and modern. The chef, and owner of the restaurant, had extensive culinary training before opening his restaurant and every single dish on the menu is well designed and carefully crafted."

"Owner and Chef Dennis Chan is not new to the Jacksonville food industry. His original Blue Bamboo location on  Southside Blvd served the community of nearly 15 years. With the goal of opening his “dream location,” Chef Chan started off 2021 by opening his new Blue Bamboo Canton Bistro location in Mandarin."

"Executive chef Charles Wang takes diners on a global journey of sorts with an expansive menu of upscale eats. Think curry beef empanadas, seafood gumbo, pan-seared Ahi tuna, tea-smoked duck breast, grilled salmon and lobster ravioli. A stylish exterior is made more special by an elegant interior, something not particularly common in the Fruit Cove area."

"The cuisine at Blackstone Grille, as directed by head chef Charles Wang. is described as ‘modern American fusion’. It may not be a familiar concept, but in practice nobody’s complaining."

"A truly classic steakhouse possess a clubby and welcoming vibe. One expect fine food but its the simple extras like heavy linen napkins, stylish but sturdy tables and chairs, a full bar and sharp interior design will set it apart. Such is the case at Chophouse 13, a Mandarin landmark for five decades."

"Whitey’s is a rambling restaurant that features a half-dozen different options at which to pull up a chair and indulge in something from its enormous menu. The Fleming Island landmark has covered seating overlooking the water and a small marina. The place is almost no-shirt, no-shoes casual (almost but not quite), which is exactly what draws crowds and boats from across Jax."

"Or, if you’re on the other side of the river, you can drop anchor or set up housekeeping at Whitey’s Fish Camp on Swimming Pen Creek in Fleming Island. In addition to a full-service bait and tackle shop, complete with boat ramp, docks and boat rentals, Whitey’s owners—children of founders Whitey and Ann Ham—included a 44-site RV park."

"Aroma Corner, a spot to score coffee, tea and desserts, is another much-loved, cheap go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 97 Yelp reviews. Head over to 11757 Beach Blvd., Suite #9, to see for yourself. Marllie P. noted, "This place serves boba the way it should be, not frozen or too mushy. It's prepared perfectly with the right texture. Besides the fantastic drinks, this place offers a variety of desserts."

"Aroma Corners offers a unique menu with delicious drinks and breakfast and lunch foods. The store is located off of Baymeadows Road and Old King Road. It is open every day of the week opening at 9 AM and closing at 7:30 pm."
