Japanese Express really hit the spot. The food was yummy and full of flavor, and the sushi was the highlight for me. The sweet potato roll was so good that I am still thinking about it. I was also impressed that they offer a bento box. I plan to try that on my next visit. This place is definitely worth coming back to for more.
Especially because you get a lot of food for the price.

Great value, fast service, and tasty food!
JL Japanese Express is exactly what you’d expect from a quick-service Japanese spot—and honestly, it delivers. It’s not a fancy or high-end place, but if you’re looking for something fast, affordable, and delicious, it’s a solid choice.
We ordered a little bit of everything, and everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. For the price and convenience, it definitely exceeded my expectations.
I’ll be back when I want something tasty without the wait or the splurge!

The food is always great and freshly made! The staff is always so courteous. We’ve been coming here since this restaurant opened and never had a bad experience. The tornado roll is delicious and one of my favorites! My husband had the steak bento bix and he really enjoyed it. Will keep coming!

I’ve been eating here about once a month since 2021, every single time it is amazing. I like Japanese food, and all of the food I have tried here has been amazing. But, I am very picky about fried rice. I don’t like most fried rice from even Benihana, yet Japanese Express’ fried rice is better than any other rice I’ve had.
Dine in is always a great experience, it is very clean and the staff is very nice! For take out, the food is neatly packed into bags and always warm.
I could not recommend Japanese Express more! I would rather eat here than anywhere else in Columbus!! Thank you for being the goat!!! ❤️

Quiet and clean place, quick & friendly service, and reasonable prices. I got the sweet potato roll and sesame balls which came out to about $12. The sweet potato rolls have a mild sweet and savory flavor, and the sesame balls have the classic, deep fried crispy outside with a chewy and sweet interior filled with red bean paste. The bathroom was nice and clean, too.

The sushi was excellent and the prices reasonable. The interior gives vibes similar to that of an old, small family diner but with a Japanese touch. The cashier, who is likely a part of the family business, was very friendly and patient as she answered my questions about their diverse menu. The wife and I were quite happy with this find.

It’s a kind of Japanese take out place for lower price rolls and hot dishes. There’re several rolls for under $5. Cheap place to have Sushi and some Japanese dishes, flavor-wise I found it okay. I might have to come back to try some other hot dishes.

This place is wonderful! My husband and I were looking for a quick, healthy’ish’ meal and this place hit the spot. I had never been here. We just stopped in because the reviews were good. We weren’t disappointed.
Service was great! Food was to us fast and it was fresh!! Everything we had was super yummy. One thing I thought was super awesome was that they have chicken nuggets and fries for the picky eater. Very conscientious! Definitely recommend this place!
