We were in the area for an Artwalk event so we Googled for a place nearby we could satisfy our sushi craving. Wow! What a fantastic find! Jellyfish is located on busy Ella Blvd in a very modest inconspicuous shopping strip – if you’re not looking, you’re going to miss it. Don’t miss out though!! This place has delicious food and you’ll experience excellent service. Everything was super fresh and prepared to perfection. I enjoyed the hibachi steak/chicken, grilled veggies & steamed rice. The meats were tender as were the veggies perfectly grilled & seasoned as well. We shared a roll of Sushi that was masterfully prepared by cooks that know how to do it. The restaurant is simple inside but kept very clean. We had no problem with parking. Restrooms very clean. We will return and recommend Jellyfish to others for fresh authentic Japanese cuisine.

Jellyfish Sushi & Grill is a casual Japanese restaurant located in a somewhat rundown strip mall, but at least there’s plenty of free parking. We visited on a Sunday evening with our 14-month-old son and immediately noticed that it’s very family-friendly—several other families with kids were dining, and they provided high chairs, which was convenient.
The menu offers a mix of hibachi entrées, nigiri sushi, and rolls. I ordered the House Delight Hibachi Entrée ($23), which included chicken and shrimp grilled with light seasoning, along with onion soup, ginger salad, hibachi vegetables, and fried rice (an extra $3). My son had the Kid’s Teriyaki Chicken ($8), which was just teriyaki chicken and white rice.
My wife tried three sushi rolls:
1) Jellyfish Roll ($15) – Spicy tuna, sliced pepper tuna, cucumber, gochujang, and microgreens.
2) Texas Himachi Roll ($15) – Yellowtail, shrimp tempura, sliced jalapeño, and ponzu sauce.
3) Cherry Blossom Roll ($14) – Cucumber, avocado, microgreens, salmon, tuna, ponzu sauce, scallions, and soy paper.
Overall, the food was fine—nothing special, but it was not bad either. The flavors were decent, but nothing really stood out. The service, however, was great—our waiter checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed.
If you’re looking for a fast, casual spot for a quick Japanese meal with family, this place works. If you’re after high-quality sushi or standout hibachi flavors, you might want to look elsewhere.

The service was fine, but the food was a huge disappointment. The quality of the raw fish was terrible and way overpriced. The noodles tasted like something from a cheap buffet and were heavy and bland. Definitely not worth spending over $72 for a few lousy dishes. Never coming back.

Excellent sushi and great customer service. Highly recommended. Will be back!
P.S. they have amazing vegetarian options. I took the veg tempura roll with cream cheese and sweet potato roll definitely ask for spicy mayo

This is our go-to spot for sashimi! The Chirashi is our favorite—always fresh, generous portions, and great quality. Prices are very reasonable, and the staff are always attentive. Highly recommend!!!!

It was an absolute pleasure dining at jellyfish! Vibes were great, super clean inside, AC was blasting, music was chill.
If this is your first time coming here, I highly recommend starting with the K-pop salmon roll and the jellyfish roll. Both specialty rolls had a an explosion of rich tasting flavor.
Service was also very good. I don’t remember our server’s name, but he was attentive and very generous! I would definitely come back.

We love going to this neighborhood sushi place and we love picking it up to eat at home too. It’s great in every way. I don’t know if it’s my favorite sushi place but they’ve got us as loyal customers, unless we feel like driving over to ya know, the neighborhood with all the sushi places within a square mile.

Great casual sushi spot. Came by for lunch and was very happy with the selections and price. Laid back and great service. Loved it and will be back.

Below average sushi and rolls. Hibachi was equivalent to warming up cooked chicken in the microwave. The prices are way high for the quality and portion sizes. $17-18 per roll and $18 for lunch chicken hibachi. Just got to chipotle and get rice and chicken for $10 bucks. Very far from the 4.9 star rating. 2.5-3 star at best.
Wish I could recommend, but I cannot.

Jellyfish was a bit of a mixed bag. The chirashi left me feeling a bit underwhelmed – especially the tuna, which tasted a little too fishy (ya I know it’s fish). We enjoyed the rolls, though, so credit for that. On the bright side, the service and ambiance were on point. Overall, worth a visit, but will probably stick to the rolls on future visits.
