Reviews
The hostess gave me the option of where I’d like to sit. I chose a quiet corner with only one couple seated a row over. I asked for a paper menu instead of the QR code. Water arrived before the waitress. My waitress was “G.” She pkaced my drink order (which came before I could order my meal). She was patient and explained the various menu options very well. After I placed my drink (Blackberry Mojito) and menu order, I went to the restroom. It was clean but was only one room/one stall. The restroom was spacious and clean with a place to put my bag down.
My drink came with light ice as requested. I’m not a fan of spicy sushi but the spice on the Spiro roll was minimal (I’m still not a fan of chili powder on sushi). The nigiri was fresh and average sized.
“G” stopped by my table a few times but let me work on my phone. When another couple was seated next to me (I was at a double table), she was equally courteous towards them . I would suggest that when possible, not to place your back (particularly when buttocks are table height) towards a customer (she could have spoke to them from the other side of their table and not squeezed between tables). “G” checked to see if I wanted dessert and explained the options well. Payment is by machine, which impersonalizes the process. Also, there is no cash discount/no card fees. I tapped “No tip” (I always tip in cash) when I paid by card and asked for a paper receipt. “G” said “Ok” but must have seen the “No Tip” because when she brought the receipt back she barely spoke, didn’t look at me, and MIGHT have said “Thank you” as her spin was so quick it left me confused. As I was getting up from the table, “G” returned to the couple’s table and addressed them from the other side so I could get out. I had to speak to her in order to place her tip in her apron. She said “Thank you” and I exited the restaurant.
The first stop was here, and it was happy hour, and I had chicken tempura and shrimp tempura roll and a mixed margarita with watermelon and pineapple delicious. They use fresh fruit! Yummy .
Every time I dine at Jinsei I have had the pleasure of being served by Kevin. I can’t say enough about what a fantastic experience I have every single time! Kevin is always smiling and has a genuine enthusiasm that instantly made us feel welcome.
Not only is Kevin a master at providing excellent service, but his friendly demeanor and engaging conversation always makes our dining experience even more enjoyable. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a personable touch.
If you’re at Jinsei Sushi, ask for Kevin! His outstanding service will elevate your meal and leave you wanting to return again and again. Thank you, Kevin, for making our visits so memorable!
Posting pictures that give do no justice to the flavor and appearance of the food.
The food coupled with the service make this place a no brainer when wanting sushi and unique food options with an Asian flare.
