    Table full of yummy food on cute little plates
    Kayleigh K.

    My partner and I are on the hunt for a good AYCE sushi place as we recently lost our favorite one. This one had the benefit of both being close and having great reviews. It's a little on the pricier side with the AYCE being $40.99, but for good AYCE sushi, this isn't a problem. Right off the bat, this place is pretty busy so be sure to come in with a reservation or else you will be waiting a while. They do have some small tables with two chairs all close together and I would try and avoid this area if you can considering there is very little table room to put all of your food. On to the sushi: it was really good!! Everything I got was packed with flavor and tasted very high quality. The menu has a decent array of options, just make sure you make your way through the menu in under 90 minutes as you only have that allotted amount of time to eat. I want to add that the service was also very good: the food came out super fast, the dirty plates were cleared immediately, the fresh platers were reorganized to be easier to pick off of, and the server came back often to see if we were ready for the next course. Speaking of courses, the way this location works is that you write down how many of each thing (with quantity limitations) on a piece of paper with all the options and then they take it and bring the food out. I liked this method as the interior is a bit smaller than other places I've been to and a little bit louder. It would have been slightly difficult to order each and every thing with the noise. I am a big sashimi fan and this place had a fairly small selection of sashimi (all of it very good), but that is the only reason this review is not getting five stars.

    Been here twice and we have our clear favorites/ order again options. It's a pretty good place as far as AYCE goes. I really appreciate their cuts of sashimi and would definitely get it any time I go. Their scallop here is also pretty good with a slight sweet flavor. Highly recommend the yellowtail serrano crudo as well. Overall pretty fresh and same quality each time I've gone. We do have to flag the servers down here and there but I don't mind so much. My experience here has been good and I would recommend this to someone looking for a good quality AYCE. I think you can definitely break even here at least or get more than your money's worth.

    I came here for a lunch date with a girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon. We arrived without a reservation and were seated fairly quickly. However, I do recommend making a reservation because the restaurant is quite small with limited seating. After we were seated, our server went over the time limit, order limit, and house rules. She was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. Lychee martini with tequila instead of vodka... yum! I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi places, and after today's visit, I think JingHe has moved to the top of my list. They even offer chu toro, although it's limited to four pieces per person. The rice to fish ratio was perf! The rice was cooked and seasoned beautifully, and the fish tasted fresh and was cut nicely. Oh, and ask for the pickled wasabi...SO GOOD! I'm still thinking about this meal. I will definitely be coming back! Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5

    After hearing many people mention this spot, I decided to check it out. It's $40.99 for the dinner option. I came for an early dinner and was quickly seated. The restaurant was decorated well and service was friendly. It did take a while for the first round of sashimi and nigiri to come out, but after the flow of dishes was smoother. I tried many different items from the menu. After trying a few of these kind of AYCE sushi spots, I have found them to be all around the same taste. Here I found the snow crab nigiri to be special along with the nigiris with yuzu or kosho. I found the flavor of the fish to be mid and the rice lacked some seasoning. I'm glad I tried it, but I think other AYCE spots have a greater spread with the same fish flavor at a lower price.

    Chu toro and yuzu salmon were the best

    Came here for my birthday. We had early rsvp and were seated promptly. Our waiter was nice but strict. He did repeat a few times about time limit and finishing every piece of food. The sushi was good for the most part. A bit lukewarm. Some tasted... a bit fishy and off, particularly the salmon carpaccio and salmon truffle and Caribbean roll. The seared salmon and Chu toro and yuzu salmon and yellowtail jalapeño were my favs. Apps: okay. The cucumber salad was surprising but not bad. Lots of chili oil but not spicy. I think I was expecting a vinaigrette but it wasn't. The crab Rangoon was extremely stale. I could not eat it. The seaweed salad still had frozen ice in the middle. Cheese corn was cold and congealed. Not warm at all. Like it's been sitting there on the counter. Squid legs nicely fried and crunchy. The steak pieces had good flavor and sear but a lot of pieces were pure fat. I think I would come back only for the salmon and chu toro. But the price point is a bit more than other AYCE and no dessert included. I wish even a scoop of ice cream or one mochi ice cream to finish our meal. small restaurant. So for a large table I would not recommend more than 6. Also with time limit and limit on how many sushi you can order in one go will be hard press with a larger group.

    Was so hungry and excited to eat my sushi (and I've been 3 times now) that I always forget to get a picture that should tell you something. For an AYCE sushi place, I'd say this place is in my top 3. The roles are good but you really have to get the nigiri and sashimi. Pretty fresh and delicious for an all you can eat. Okay so many other options, good apps, ramen and grill options. The servers are always friendly and attention. I've never been for dinner but it gets pretty crowded at lunch so might be good to make a reservation, especially for dinner. Already planning my next visit back.

    Make a reservation! (I don't care if you think it's gonna be a slower time, it won't be, it's so busy there) 39.99/each AYCE spot. Pros: the atmosphere was great. Lots of good selections for nigiri and sashimi. They're rolls (we got the spider rolls) were good too. MUST get their seared salmon nigiri - one of my favorite on the menu. Cons: they had a limit for their chutoro (like 4 per person) they also ran out of ebi, which we were looking forward to

    Hands down the best AYCE sushi spot for the quality. The fish just melts in your mouth. I was so so surprised and am so excited to go back on day when I'm in the DFW area. The menu is not super big with a lot of variety, but if you mainly want fish, nigiri or sashimi, this place is the spot for good quality bang for your buck. It is very cute inside, but also dark. They do stick to their table time limit as well so beware. I recommend making a reservation beforehand.

    I was excited to try this all you can eat sushi spot for the first time that is conveniently located near the SMU campus. There's ample free parking nearby in the garage and the restaurant is in a complex with a bunch of other stores! Walking in, I really love the ambience of the restaurant with its dim, lighting and cute decor spread throughout. We had an reservation and was promptly seated when a server came by to explain the rules of the all you can eat. It had the traditional 90 minute cutoff. But also featured some interesting rules, such as only 20 pieces of Nigiri per round and four orders of sashimi with each sashimi order coming with three slices. I will say the rules definitely made the experience a little bit harder since you're also filling this out on a piece of paper and since we were in a group of five, we had to strategically placed orders so that everyone would get pieces that they liked for each round. We managed to place three rounds and the quality was phenomenal. Each fish we tried definitely was fresh and our absolute favorites were the Yuzu flavored Nigiri pieces as well as the Crudo, which we ordered multiple plates of and that one you could order unlimited! A delightful surprise was their ribeye Teppanyaki, which we also ordered multiple rounds of :) As you can see from the photos, the presentation is also gorgeous. Overall, this was such a fun night and I definitely left with my belly feeling stuffed. I think if you have a smaller group than this place is definitely your vibe whereas larger groups it might be a bit harder to make the most of the all you can eat experience!

    Tried the AYCE and I will say it did not disappoint! The sashimi was soft and did not have that fishy smell to it. My favorite was the seared salmon nigiri!! It literally melts in your mouth (I will say after the first round they started packing the nigiri's up with rice) I also liked the crispy tuna but it also had a lot of rice. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating and it was a bit dark inside but each table had its own light! Gives off a fancy feel for it being ayce and somewhat affordable (about $45 pp) The service was great! They bring you a paper to check off what you want each round and they come and check on you frequently! We booked the reservation for 7:30 but got there early and they still seated us! Would definitely come back if i was in town!

    To start when you walk in the vibe of the restaurant sets the tone. everything if aesthetically decorated. Staff was helpful as it was our first time. Has to be the best seared salmon ive had in the DFW area for AYCE. This is now my favorite AYCE sushi location

    I went to JingHe with some friends for lunch after seeing so many social posts about the restaurant. Overall for $40/person, it's a pretty good deal. The food was tasty. So how it works is you get 1.5hrs for "All You Can Eat". You mark on a piece of paper what dishes/items you want and they bring it out to the table. The catch is you only get 20 pieces of nigiri and 4 orders of sashimi per round. You can offset this by ordering other items such as noodles, chicken karaage, salad, etc... but who wants to do that?? The key is to order the next round as soon as possible once the nigiri/sashimi comes out. The reason for the suggestion of putting in the order for the next round right away is because the food kinda takes a little bit of time to come out... it makes me think they're doing it on purpose to keep the cost down? For our party of 6, we managed to get in 6 rounds of nigiri so 120 pieces total. The last round required us asking the staff if they can squeeze it in because they said our time was up... As I stated previously the food was good. We especially liked the seared salmon nigiri. If you have a large party, I recommend making a reservation.

    There are a lot of ayce sushi spots around dallas for around the same price as here (around $40 pp) but for the value and selection of sushi, jinghe is probably #1!! It is located near SMU so its a bit of a drive for us but I'd say its worth it! The restaurant itself is super clean and i like the ambiance! Its honestly a great spot for a more upscale ayce sushi experience :p Our favorites were the yellowtail serrano, seared salmon, bluefin tuna, scallop, and yuzu jalepeno salmon I wish they had the amaebi to try when we went but honestly the selection of diff nigiri and hot food on the ayce menu was so good! I also liked their sides and hot food like the garlic noodles and the shishito peppers. I will say this place gets super busy and service does get a little hectic but its completely understandable given how busy they get. There have been times where we'd drive 50 mins there only to realize they wont seat you unless you have a reservation since they get that busy so you may want to either call in advance to be safe, or place a reservation before you go if you live far like us!! :"))) Overall, love this place for ayce and def will be back!

    The food here was INCREDIBLE and well worth the wait. To be transparent, I did wait almost an hour…read morearound dinner time (7pm). The inside is tiny and there isn't even a proper "waiting" area. I've also tried coming here before, and there was also a long wait. I'm glad I decided to stick it out this time. We ordered the Wagyu sushi, Yakitori, Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, and the Tomato Ramen. The Wagyu sushi is torched right in front of you! The Wagyu was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious. My only *nitpicky* critique is the rice was ever so slightly too moist, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the sushi. Next, the Yakitori was phenomenal. I've never had such tender chicken in my life. There was a nice layer of delicious sauce coating the skewer. Again, just a really nitpicky feedback I have was that I wish the Yakitori had the tiniest bit more char to it, but nevertheless was an incredible bite, and I'd 100% order again in a heartbeat. Onto the ramen - easily hands down one of the best ramen I've had in DFW. The broth is flavorful, and I love the noodles. I'm not sure if they're handmade from scratch, but they had the perfect thickness and chewiness. I also loved generous the portion of cha shu slices. Most other places only give you 1-2 thin slices, but that was not the case here. The pork was tender. The ajitama was solid too, although I prefer more of a soft-boiled egg. While the meat portion is more generous here, the tonkotsu didn't come with many vegetables. A lot of other ramen places I've been to will have corn, fried garlic, etc as default, but those are all additional cost add-ons here. The ramen was delicious without them though but just something to note. We also got the tomato ramen as it's the chef recommendation. The dish is very creative and the execution was great. Personally, I still prefer traditional ramens but it was certainly a nice culinary creation to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would come here again. Just be aware there may be a wait, and because they're so busy, you do have to proactively flag down staff. However, the staff are still really nice despite all the tasks they're juggling at once.

I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday.

This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

However, the past two times we shared this place with another couple who loves sushi just as much as my husband and I do. One reason we kept coming back, aside from all the delicious food, was how they labeled their menu with the top food allergens. As a food allergy mom, I appreciated this so much! Especially when I was still breastfeeding, I had to eliminate all of my daughter's allergies to breastfeed safely. The main ones I had to look out for was gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and sesame seeds. The safe was aware of my limitations and shared empathy, not annoyance like other places. T Thankfully I'm out of that stage so I can eat anything on the menu now. We would like to take our daughter here some day, she loves sushi a lot! But being only 5 years old, we'll need to save it for a special occasion. We get carried away when we come here.
