ju-ni focuses on the fish with some delicious nigiri pieces, but overall the ambiance & service was distracting and overpriced for the number of pieces served. overall, glad I tried it and loved the standout pieces, but wouldn’t recommend.

service: our chef wasn’t bad but the difference of service between our seating and the one next to us was night and day. ended up listening to the other chef more since he explained each dish with detail while ours mumbled his way through.

standout dishes: fatty tuna, red snapper, salmon roe with monkfish pate

Ju-Ni literally means “twelve” in Japanese, a nod to the original 12-seat counter and the tight, timed omakase format. Service is mostly nigiri, paced one piece at a time, with a lot of torch work at the counter.  Chef-owner Geoffrey Lee’s signature bite is the “ikura with ankimo”: salmon roe topped with shaved, deep-frozen ankimo (monkfish liver, often called “foie gras of the sea”). Lee has described it as “our dish at Ju-Ni,” and it’s a standout.

16-course omakase service in this tiny location. The fish was outstanding, half of the courses were interesting, memorable, and outstanding and only two courses were “just fine” but that’s gonna come down to personal preferences. Limited drink options, and service was fine but nothing to write home about. Come for the fantastic fish and creative courses. Was pretty loud whole I was there for to a business dinner that was very boisterous, but seems like that’s probably rare for this place.

Ju-Ni is a standout. ​Every component of the experience was flawless. The shari (sushi rice) was seasoned to perfection, providing the ideal foundation for the fish. The chef’s application of sauces and glazes was subtle yet enhanced every bite without overpowering the star of the show: the fish.

​The quality of the neta (toppings) was exceptional, and for good reason — I learned that everything, aside from the salmon, is imported directly from Japan just the day before service. You can truly taste the difference that level of freshness makes. From the delicate madai to uni, each piece was a testament to quality and skilled preparation.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had high-end nigiri this satisfying in the Bay Area, especially post-pandemic. Highly recommended for any serious sushi lover.

The service was very disappointing. I had an 8pm reservation yet had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. While normally I do not mind waiting, it is frustrating that they are so strict about customers arriving on time but do not uphold the same standards for themselves. There was also a mandatory service fee, which should have been reflected in far better service.

The food itself was okay but not great compared to the price. You can get better sushi at similar prices elsewhere. Nothing special, and each nigiri was not very cohesive. Also the starting dish was just bad and doesn’t make sense.

Hands down the best traditional omakase I have ever had. Each bite was perfection. (Chefs kiss) I liked this more than all the omakase I had even in Japan. It’s definitely a treat and worth the price. The chef was amazing and made the experience and ambiance as great as the food.

Dinning at Ju-Ni was an extraordinary experience from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our chef Kevin is truly talented each course was a work of art, showcasing the freshest ingredients and masterful technique. Highly recommended whether your a seasoned sushi lover or trying omakase for the first time.

Ju-Ni offers an exceptional Omakase experience that feels both intimate and personal. With one chef serving just two parties at a time, the setting creates the perfect environment to ask questions and engage deeply in the experience. The attention to detail in the preparation and presentation of each dish really highlights the artistry of Omakase. While it is on the pricier side, the portion sizes and quality more than justify the cost. For anyone interested in learning more about Omakase, I highly recommend being proactive and asking questions, it truly enhances the experience. Overall, this was an unforgettable dining experience that I would highly recommend. :))))

Anything with fatty tuna is my favorite, fish liver too, it was so creamy. The chefs were so sweet and humble. The hostess was so patient, polite, and attentive. Very welcoming and good atmosphere. Can’t wait to return. Just fyi, make reservations in advance, we made them last minute.

Celebrated my birthday here and truly enjoyed the omakase dinner. We had the honor of Brian as our chef. We were treated to a wonderful intimate experience.

Some favorites were the toro, aji, the salmon roe with monkfish liver, and the uni.

The drink menu is quite extensive. I tried a Japanese rice lager that went very well with the sushi. Overall, a wonderful meal and experience! Thank you Chef Brian for making my birthday very fun and tasty!
