This place , food and staff is amazing. Most of the reviews are great and I've gone there many times. I do know sometimes there are open tables and people can't be seated right away probably due to a shift change. There may be tables but no servers so people do have to wait sometimes. I did see a negative review about this but keep in mind, if you have worked in restaurants you would understand the principle about seating tables with no servers as they are closing out for the new shift servers to clock in. Also blocking the door is blocking the exit which is against code as it has to be clear for emergencies. All in all this place is amazing. The hostesses are so sweet and the servers are great. Will continue going. read more

The hwe-dup-bap alone is worth the drive from LA. It could feed 2-3 people and has quality cuts of sashimi in it, which is usually not the case. The caterpillar roll, salmon belly, and the toro sashimi are also excellent. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is casual, but nice enough for a birthday or date! read more

We ordered late night Uber Eats to a hotel while visiting Bakersfield for a soccer tournament and I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived later than ideal and needed to eat before getting up early for a game Saturday morning. We ordered spicy tuna, spicy crab and shrimp, miso soup, edamame and California rolls. Everything we got was much better than I had expected. Everyone liked the meal so we went to bed happy. The only reason I gave 4 stars is they didn't include utensils or chop sticks, nor did they include soy sauce, ginger or wasabi. That was a bit disappointing so we couldn't enjoy it like we usually do but otherwise it was good! read more

I have been a regular customer to Jin's Southwest location. I decided to check out their downtown location for lunch. This place is much bigger, dark tone, black wall, black table, black chairs, with nice accents. I was greeted right away, and the lunch was on the table before I could blink. I ordered the mango roll and volcano roll. The mango roll with sweet with sweet sauce, a very nice clean and fruity surprise. The volcano roll turn out to be a show stopper. They set the whole thing on fire, and you eat when the fire die out. When I opened the foil, a delicious and slightly spicy aroma hit me in the face. The roll was warm and delicious from the fire. I am very impressed with both rolls. I need to go back and try the dinner menu soon. read more

We were so happy we got to try Jin Sushi! We went in on a Friday night and only waited like 20 minutes for a table - which was not that bad for as busy as this place was! We were sat and they took our drink order and brought out the drinks (hot tea was yummy). The server was awesome with helping us with our questions and balancing all their other tables. We put in the order and the food was delivered so fast! It was all so so good and you could tell it was so so fresh. I was very happy to be able to try this place and we've even ordered in from them too, my husband likes them so much. Can't wait to be back to try some more! read more

Date night win. My wife and I came in craving sushi, and this spot delivered. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect vibes to unwind and actually enjoy the moment. Our server, Davy, was awesome: super attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time without hovering. The sushi was amazing as always. We ordered a variety of rolls, plus a fresh garden salad, and everything came out looking great and tasting even better. Clean flavors, solid portions, no misses. We topped it off with a couple of cold ones, which just sealed the deal. Overall, great food, great service, and a chill setting. This is definitely one of our go-to spots when the sushi craving hits. read more

We headed to Jin to celebrate our anniversary. Arriving on a Wednesday night, there were several other patrons there but we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. The menu has plenty of options for every palate. The portions were good size, flavor was good and everything tasted fresh and we left with full bellies. The staff was very attentive and there was the game on tv but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. It was very enjoyable and we look forward to our next visit. read more

I loved my experience. Arely was our host she was the first person I seen when I came in and she was so welcoming, kind, and helpful! Our servers Courtlynne and Ashley were also so attentive and quick with our food. I got the basic spicy shrimp and crab roll which you can never go wrong with. I also got the miso soup and spicy garlic edamame which was were favorites! read more

This is a go to for sushi whenever I'm downtown! The service was helpful and accommodating. We sat in their outdoor dining and it was quite enjoyable. Something to keep in mind is that it is in the middle of downtown so people will be walking by you. I enjoy their indoor seating as well but the weather was extra nice on this day. We came during their happy hour and got some good deals on our apps and wine! Overall the food was very tasty and fresh! I'll definitely be back! read more

Jin sushi is a good staple Bakersfield spot. The bentos have large servings and the rolls are dependable. Hard to judge americanized sushi places cause I think they all generally taste the same. Ordered the teriyaki beef bento. Great amount, complete meal indeed. (6) piece California roll is hefty along with everything else. Had a scallop roll too and there's also a great amount of scallops. Did not need to eat dinner after a lunch that big. Solid choice! read more

we ordered sushi and was horrible, it was made previously and when we brought it to waitress attention just we were told she is sorry and will talk to kitchen staff and left so we asked for manager , again the same things happened, she said she is just assistant manager and she didn't do anything, so we asked for general manager ( owner) we were told he is eating and they don't want to bother him! Finally he came and still they didn't replace the old sushi. This is crazy and we never go back there again and we will make sure to let all our friends and co workers know about this horrible place! read more

I came on a Friday evening with my partner for dinner before the Bill Burr comedy show. It was very crowded and the servers were super busy. The inside was very lively and festive with all the decorations. We were seated after 20-30 minutes. We ordered the volcano, blazing dragon, toro tuna, blue fin tuna, and regular tuna nigiri. The blazing dragon was my favorite of the baked rolls. But, the toro was the star of the show. It was super flavorful and melted in my mouth. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll be back for more toro! read more

Jin sushi.. your food and waited service, has absolutely hit it out of the box. BUT please read the whole review.. We shared the garlic edamame which was my absolute favorite and the best edamame I had ever tasted whatever seasonings with the generous amount of garlic was just heavenly. If you like edamame you should love this one you won't be disappointed. I could literally have a bowl of this and a couple of Stella Artois for dinner and have the best night ever. We also shared the bulgogi bento box as well as two rolls,one being the lobster roll the other one being a spicy flaming roll which of course I forgot the name of but either way the ingredients were very fresh the roles were both full of ingredients and everything in the Bento Box, the fried rice the salad & the Bulgogi was tender, all were all tasty and reminiscent of a another restaurant in Bakersfield that is usually my Bento Box go-to. JIn Sushi could absolutely be my most favorite sushi place in Bakersfield if they fix a couple of little things It's only two problems I had with this place one was the seating issue, that they created when we first walked in I had a reservation and waited 25 minutes to be seated I only knew it was an issue because I talked to the lady behind me who had a appointment 15 minutes after mine with three friends and was seated before me, the whole process seemed unorganized and the young lady running it seem to be stressed trying to get it right. The next issue was me reading the health score violations during my extra 25 minute wait and trying to avoid any of the foods that were listed. Something I probably wouldn't have seen if I didn't have to wait 25 mins. after my reservation well researching any complaints about wait times. If management gets the seating issue corrected,and place up front who will stay up front and take command of the seating, keeping track of who comes in with reservations I think this would have been a overall better experience. However we will definitely try again. read more

I came on a Saturday at noon, the place wasn't too busy. It had a nice classic dark ambiance you'd expect from a sushi bar. The service was great, the servers were all attentive and I didn't have to wait too long for anything. The food was also pretty good. The eel on the dragon roll was soft and didn't feel oily at all. The Shumai also came out pretty good, its sweetness stood out well with the sauce it was paired with. read more

I am a regular here, and happy hour Monday-Friday is definitely the time to try it out. Service is always fast and the girls are all so friendly, I love sitting outside and they have no problem setting it up for me every time. It can get a little busy sometimes but they are so fast that you are seated and food comes out quick. I haven't had anything I don't like here honestly. I definitely have to come for dinner and try out a boujier roll lol! But for now catch me here at happy hour enjoying some yummy rolls and great appetizers, I don't have a pic of it but the calamari is so crispy and definitely worth ordering. read more

This is the 2nd time i tried going here and i have been dissapointed both times. Each time ive gone and there is about 10 people in line mind you its been around 3 and 4 in the afternoon both times. There was a ton of seating available we got put on the list and stood aside then they kicked us outside because of fire code well no one was even in the door way there was a ton of tables available remember. Well they put us all in the patio and it was 100 degrees. Are you serious. Very dissapointed. All the people waiting to be seated left like how are you gonna make us wait outside in the heat. They lost about 12 customers today. read more

Food Poisoning and they don't care to return my call. I've called twice today to notify them both my husband and son got food poisoning really bad yesterday and no manager has called me back . You would think they would want to react to this quickly and check their fish before getting more people sick . My son has been throwing up since 10pm last night every hour all through today . This is the worst food poisoning experience ever . I would never go back . My husband even told the waiter the lemon tree roll was very fishy and she said that's the way it is made . I usually don't give business bad reviews but the fact they won't call back , I wanted others to be aware. read more

They have good food and the environment is really nice in it. It's a nice place. It's kind of casual. It's a little little upscale you know like I said the drinks are good. People are nice. Service was really good so I go there read more

Stopped in around midday, and the place had a relaxed, low-key atmosphere with that classic, slightly dim vibe you'd expect from a sushi spot. It felt comfortable right away. Service was consistently attentive without being overbearing. I never had to wait long for anything, and everything moved at a good pace. The food overall was solid. The dragon roll had a nice balance to it, and the eel was soft without feeling heavy. The shumai had a pleasant sweetness that worked well with the sauce it came with. While it wasn't an experience that completely blew me away, it definitely delivered on what I was hoping for. Good food, smooth service, and an easygoing setting. I wouldn't mind coming back again when I'm in the area. read more

Food was really good even the next day. The sushi was so good. We got the lobster Crunchyroll in the box with chicken the server who had excellent customer service!!

My husband and I joined some friends to eat dinner at Jin prior to a comedy show at the Fox. We had reservations and were seated promptly upon our arrival. We were seated near the entrance but none of us felt disrupted by customers coming and going. The server was courteous and friendly and asked to take our drink order right away. The server returned a short time later and we all ordered our dinner items. For appetizers we ordered the spicy garlic edamame and regular edamame. Both tasted like you would expect, but I was slightly disappointed my spicy garlic edamame came out cold. As for our main course, I ordered a spicy rainbow roll and yellowtail roll (add jalapenos). Both tasted fresh but I think I enjoyed the simplicity of the yellowtail with a slice of jalapeno on each piece. Such a great bite. My husband ordered a cucumber roll and avocado roll. He was quite pleased with the amount of avocado they put into his roll. Our group appeared to enjoy their food as well. Overall we had a nice, albeit, quick dinner before a show. We would definitely return. read more

This is a downtown Japanese restaurant. within walking distance of many other restaurants and bars. The decor is appealing with many windows bringing light into the dining room. Natalie our server was fabulous. She was friendly & prompt. She anticipated without anyone asking and gave us all separate checks! That's a lot of extra work and was very thoughtful of her. It was a busy Friday night but Natalie was pleasant and attentive. Our food came out quickly. Everything thing was fresh, delicious and beautiful to look at. I will most certainly be back! read more
