Salmon Crunch Roll
Suzanne M.

Absolutely love Jin! Whether I'm Downtown or at the Allen location, food is always delicious. Customer service is always great, always my go-to for sushi!

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.

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!

Came here for a quick bite to eat and it did not disappoint. The hostess got us seated right away, get us waters and even had a to go cup with a lid for my son. We ordered gyoza, avocado roll, salmon crunch roll, Greenlight roll and creamy salmon roll. Everything was absolutely delicious. We were very happy.

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.

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!

What is not to love about Jin Sushi??? The ambiance is totally date ready! The service is spectacular and the food and drinks are a total Main character energy! Honestly, the entire sushi selection is incredible there is something for everyone, whether it's raw or fried they have what you need! As for the happy hour it's Monday -Friday from 2pm- 5pm so much goodness at such a low price it almost feels illegal!

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.

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.

Baked Scallop
Lanze A.

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!

Fatty Tuna (Toro), Blue Fin Tuna, tuna nigiri
Jen C.

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!

Gyoza

Great service, kind staff. Delicious food. I got the garlic edamame and I've never had it so perfect. Chicken gyoza, and the Hama/hama Roll. Fish tasted fresh caught.

Dragon Roll
John P.

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.

When you walk inside, you're immediately greeted. The service has always been great! It's a nice, cozy vibe.

I really hate that I have to give this place a 4 but it's because the spicy edamame was not to my liking and they do not carry pineapple soju. The food is definitely a must try, especially the beautiful yellowtail sashimi. The seafood yakisoba was so delicious. I did not care much for the baked salmon roll, Love Sushi takes first place for that roll and Prime Sushi take first place for spicy edamame. The crazy tuna roll I ordered was so big! The crunchy pieces on top can stand to sit in some absorbing paper towels because they were a bit oily but went well with the Tuna dance. I personally did not care for the bluefin tuna. Overall my babe and I enjoyed our dinner and will most definitely return for more.

I'm glad we did, because it gave us a whole new feel for the place. Inside isn't massive, but it's not cramped either. Think of it like the Goldilocks of restaurant spaces: just right. The vibe leans calm and cozy, dim lighting, black walls, and splashes of color here and there. It's got that "peaceful sushi zen" atmosphere without being boring. Our waitress deserves a medal (or at least an extra roll on the house). She was the only one working the floor, yet somehow managed to be friendly, attentive, and efficient all at once. Multitasking level: expert. Now onto the food, which is really why we came back. We ordered a spread: two teriyaki chicken plates, one chicken ramen bowl, an order of sushi crunch rolls, egg rolls, a large pineapple sake, a beer, and two iced teas. (Yes, we came hungry. Don't judge.) Everything came out quickly, hot, and fresh. The chicken was juicy, the rice perfectly cooked, and the little bed of veggies under the teriyaki chicken was tender-crispy and surprisingly addictive. Whoever thought of tucking those under there deserves a raise. The ramen had bold flavors that hit the spot, and the sushi rolls lived up to their name, they really were crunchy and delicious. Now, the egg rolls. Let me tell you, these might just be the best I've ever had. Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and stuffed with flavor on the inside. The kind that makes you regret ordering only one plate. Drinks? The beer was cold (and surprisingly affordable), the iced teas were strong and refreshing, and the pineapple sake... well, it was different, let's just say it's not everyone's cup of tea. Personally, I'll stick to tequila, lol, but my husband happily claimed the sake as his new favorite. Win-win. Prices here are fair and budget-friendly, which is always nice to see at a sushi spot. The place was clean and well-kept, and I'm happy to say it still holds up just as well as when I ordered takeout years ago. Bottom line: Shoyu Sushi is still doing its thing, fresh food, good prices, relaxing vibe, and service that makes you feel taken care of. If you want sushi that crunches, teriyaki that comforts, and egg rolls that just might ruin all other egg rolls for you, this is the spot.

First the Miso soup was so bad that the waitress apologized. It had gone bad and had to remake it. The ginger was inedible... all this before our food comes out lol my salmon was slightly brown & took 30 minute to get to us while there was absolutely zero people in the restaurant. My Husbans benzo box was super suspicious. All 3 pieces of sushi were an odd color. The chicken was so dark. It looked like beef. I hate writing a bad review... but once my sushi roll came out 40 minutes later I didn't wanna chance it. I sent it back because Sushi should not be that color and it was 70%Rice to fish. I really hope this place was just having a bad day but hopefully this review we'll get them back on track.
