Max KesslerAugust 21, 2014Jin owns the sushi game. Great all around, good atmosphere and the staff doesn't take shit from dumb customers or tourists. Place brings the heat every single time, get bonsai or Jin roll, boomcity
Jesus Bracho NavarroJanuary 26, 2014OMG the happy hour is great only 3,50$ per roll servings 6 pcs. spicy crunch roll and eel avocado my favorites. and the Pork Gyozas as appetizers very nice.
Get the Jin roll. Beautiful presentation and great taste. Fresh ingredients and lots of care taken. Also, the sake mojitos = awesome and strong.
Laila LambFebruary 21, 2012This place is great. The sushi is so good and its so well prices. The lunch special and 3$ happy hour are great but even their regular menu is reasonable. 21 piece sashimi platter for 22$
Great place for lunch or dinner. Happy hour mon-fri for $3 sushi and many kitchen favs and appetizers. Eel avocado roll, avocado salad, and seaweed salad are a must!- Happy hour = super cheap rolls. Splurge on the Lower East Side Roll and the Kamikaze Roll. So worth it.
Kate FurmanApril 27, 2015Sushi lunch special are pretty good, $12 for a sashimi and nigiri plate with California roll.- Great sushi. Super low prices on rolls during happy hour. Their drinks are on the strong side.
Lawrence LenihanJanuary 13, 2012Nice Japanese food. Very solid if not spectacular. Good nebayaki udon and dynamite appetizer (flawless!). Did not have sushi. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Definitely check out the $3.50 happy hour. Even if its crowded and you have to wait. It's worth it
y contentJune 20, 2014the trifecta: the rolls, appetizers, and service are all garbage. happy hour pricing is the sole redemption.
Great sushi. Come before 7pm for the happy hour -- everything is $3.50.
stephiedooMay 26, 2011Miso eggplant, hamachi kama (grilled fish), and the lychee sake-tinis are some of the tasty things to have.
Lola LavaugeMarch 15, 2011The volcano roll is to die for!!! Thru also have a great happy hour-$8 pitchers and delish lycheetini!
For all you Jin enthusiasts, happy hour has increased to $3.50. First price increase since 2009.
Hal KirklandJuly 13, 2012Don't mention the paranormal activity in the men's toilet, it freaks the staff out and if the point is pushed some will quit
happy hour is from 3:30-7 and select menu items (including sake and sushi) are only $3
Faith KastenAugust 9, 2011The food was good but I didn't appreciate being charged for Ponzu sauce. The service was okay but felt ripped off by the additional charge.
$3 rolls for happy hour- come on people, it's not science...
StacyMarch 17, 2011Slow service, but you can't beat $3 happy hour drinks & food. Really decent menu.
