Warning: this place is on the second floor with no accessible entrance or elevator. I didn't know this in advance and booked a mealpal here. I use a wheelchair. But thanks to the quick thinking young lady working at this place I was able to get my food without it becoming a problem. She was very kind and accommodating and came downstairs right away the minute I called. She then was quick thinking and took a photo of the QR code on her phone so she could bring her phone down to me to scan. I tried the salmon don and it was super high quality. I would be hesitant to come here again myself because of the accessibility issue but the food is great and the service is five stars all the way. read more

My wife and I dropped in to grab a hold us until dinner snack. We shared the 10 piece Omakase box and it was delicious from start to finish. Every piece tasted fresh and delicious. We would come back in a heartbeat. It is a little hard to see from the street as it is on the second floor and there is just a sign and the door on the first floor. The young owner was working and we had a great conversation with her about world travel. And she provide attentive service and threw in some mochi dessert which was a great finish to the meal. read more

Jurin Sushi is a small sushi place located in a 2nd floor in Midtown. I had a 3 topping rice dish and a salmon lover's sushi set. For the 3 toppings, I had toro, salmon, and eel. I felt like the seafood was decent but I felt like the rice tasted a bit more cold than I'd like. read more

What a great find. A neon blue sign reassures you they invest more in their fish than the decor, and they mean it! The fish was very fresh and lovely. The salmon was melt in your mouth with a lightly sweet note. The seared pieces of nigiri were well-balanced with just a light smokiness. The sushi rolls were well portioned and had very fresh ingredients. High on skill. I would recommend the omakase over the rolls though, if you want to enjoy the precision of their sushi. read more

An actual "hidden gem" because you kind of have to know otherwise you'll miss it. It's a small hole in the wall spot on the second floor where seating is limited but the atmosphere and staff make it very warm and bright! Fresh quality fish, well seasoned rice, overall great quality food for a fair price. Will be back to try out more of the menu! One note: Would not recommend large parties for dining in but they do have catering options that look solid read more

Jurin Sushi - Salmon Lover Set - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This is their Nigiri Tasting -- 10 pieces, toro roll, and miso soup for $50. With ponzu on the side and delivery, it came to about $70. Mixed feelings here. The fish was fresh, the rice was warm and well-seasoned, and the presentation (nice box, lemon slice) showed effort. But the cuts were tiny. Lots of white fish (seared yellowtail and fluke fin), no chutoro or otoro, and I personally don't care for salmon roll or uni -- so that lineup was underwhelming. The toro roll was solid, but at this price point in NYC, there are plenty of spots that deliver bigger, more satisfying pieces with more variety. The value here just doesn't match the cost.

I won the giveaway for omakase to go box awhile back during summer and discovered this hole in the wall establishment with great sushi/sashimi! Everything was yum and they even offered complimentary mochi to me and my guest if we reviewed them. The box was also the most unique wooden box I've seen for take out. I think if you were to order this as is, would be pricey but this place and their workers left a positive impression on me, I'd be down to go back and try their other items read more

Jurin Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Clean and small inside, manned by a two-person staff, Jurin is an unpretentious place to grab a fresh bite when you need to eat in a hurry. I missed it the first time I passed it. They have a door on 36th Street that looks anonymous, and their storefront is actually up on the second floor. I emerged from the staircase to find 6 bar height stools and two round tables capable of seating three people each. Definitely keeping it casual. The omakase was elegantly presented in a wood-effect case and looked very pretty. The miso soup was perfect, imo - just underseasoned, and served piping hot. Was the sushi perfect? No, not really - I wish it'd been more satisfying - but it more than did the job. Definitely a place to bring people who know you well, and not people who you're trying to date. read more

I got a delivery order of a 10 piece "Nigiri Tasting" sushi set with miso soup. It was quite good. The sushi was fresh and had a lot of variety compared to your typical sushi delivery options. This might not be one of the top Omakase sushi restaurants, but it was quite acceptable. Some might say that delivery sushi is a sin, akin to grocery store sushi, but I beg to disagree. Better delivery options are starting to show up around town, even from some of the best places. Now, I know, the sushi "experts" ?snobs, say sushi must be eaten at a certain temperature, within a certain amount of time after preparation, etc., but that can't always happen for everyone, every time! Delivery was fast. Presentation and packing was excellent. Not bad, at all...recommended! read more

I was craving sushi and saw all the excellent reviews so I stopped by after work. I got a sashimi tasting. I "think" the fish is fresh. I have to say think because everything was extremely salty. The sashimi sits on a large bed of seaweed. I tasted the seaweed so it was super salty. So the sashimi sitting on the bed of seaweed absorbed all the salt. It was barely eatable. I don't know what happened but I won't recommend this place and won't be returning. What a shame. read more

The quality of fish here is incredible! They offer a $40 omakase box that has 10 pieces of fresh nigiri and it all tasted really good and high quality. They also sell regular rolls like a Spicy Salmon Roll and Spicy Scallop Roll, which I ordered. The chef was quick to make the food and they packaged it nearly. It's a hidden gem located on the second floor of a building in Midtown, but there's a few seats, mainly for 1 or 2 people to sit. It's a small cute interior and definitely more of a takeout spot. However, you can still eat there! read more

I was yelping what's good around the area and see this lovely sushi store on 2 nd floor. I ve order a premium and nigiri 10 pieces for take out and it was not that wow~ me and my daughter enjoyed it in the car right after picked up so the "not wow "is not related to the timeframe. It is just not that WOW with the luxury price . If the price is included the service, ehhhh I would just say not worth. Maybe they just have a long day ~ and so am I ?

Probably closer to 3.5 stars. I thought the food left a bit to be desired. The toro was a little I dunno, funky, which left a literal and metaphorical bad taste in my mouth. The botan who were delish and so was the uni. Everything else was just a littttle off though, I wish I could explain it better. While I wouldn't say to steer clear per se, (esp because this is all I've tried from Jurin) I also feel like there are other options in the area that are a bit superior quality for the price. read more

Sure' in, Jurin... Great find on 36th St., between 7th & 8th ave. A small and quaint sushi place with 3 two seated tables and a high table stretching across the window with bar seats, over looking the traffic on 36th street. Be aware that it may be a challenging hike up the stairs for the elderly. When I went, there was a staff of 2, so i waited a bit for my order to be ready. The staff was nice and seemed very busy although I was the only one inside. The boxes were really cute (see pic), but I got the clear top box. The roll itself was delicious. Salmon tasted fresh, but the sauce was overwhelming. Next time, I will ask for the sauce on the side to dip each bite. I will definitely return for other menu options. read more

Good for the price, and a great takeout place for good quality with premium selections takeout. We got the premium box, but it didn't exactly hit the spot. The fish was fresh and I love when they give the sweet shrimp heads (not just the body), but the uni was a bit of a miss. The owners were sweet, attentive and really accommodating (they gave a strawberry mochi ice cream on the house!l Overall I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for decent quality premium sushi without the paying the price point that comes with a fancy dine in place. read more

We got the takeout omakase lunch from this spot and were overall pretty impressed. The location itself was a bit hidden but once inside the ambiance was quite nice. The box set itself was packaged well and didn't feel cheap at all. The fish quality wasn't quite what you'd get at a sit down omakase imo, but much better than the traditional lunch sushi in midtown. It's not cheap so not an every week sort of meal, but we will be back for sure. read more

We came to Jurin Sushi to get takeout after our other omakase reservation cancelled on us due to the weather. The restaurant is located on the 2nd floor, has 2 small tables and window seating. The staff were really nice and gave us a mochi ice cream dessert while we waited for our order because it took around 30min to make. Ordered the Nigiri & Sashimi (15 pieces of sashimi, 10 pieces of nigiri) $55, which came with green salad or miso soup. They did not skimp out on the thick slices of fish, but some pieces were better than others and unfortunately the sushi rice was a bit too hard and dry. They do map out which fishes are in season on their menu, so maybe that contributed to the taste. read more

What a cute little sushi spot in Midtown! I typically only have omakase if I am dining in because I worry about quality, however, I was quite surprised at how the quality and flavors were retained. I went with their $40 omakase box and thought it was pretty solid. It came with 10 pieces of nigiri and a negi toro roll. For $40, I think it's a steal! The only troubling piece I would say is their uni as it seemed to not taste very fresh. I think it's good value for the price I paid. I also had their Beef Tataki and I really enjoyed these. They were nicely torched and melted in my mouth. I think this is a great spot to have a nice lunch if you want to treat yourself without breaking the bank. read more

The fish itself was delicious, so no complaints there. Please note though, that the sushi pieces are very small. In comparison to my pointer finger, one piece is about half the length. I thought that was a bit disappointing at this price point. Also found a short piece of hair in the side of rice, unfortunately. read more

Very tasty and affordable sushi! I was going to a show at Hayes Theater and wanted sushi prior to the show. Everything we had was fresh and delicious and the service was fast and attentive. We ordered the following items: 12 piece sashimi tasting (4.5/5; incredible, fresh and delicious, the white tuna, salmon, and yellowtail were my favorites), California avocado salad (4/5: everything was very fresh and tasty. The dressing wasn't very flavorful though), miso soup (5/5; hot, delicious, and perfect for a cold NYC day), hot green tea (5/5; simple and refreshing), yellow tail roll w/ scallion (4.5/5; very solid and fresh fish), spicy scallop roll (4/5; very tasty, good sized chunks of scallop and lightly mixed with a spicy mayo). Very casual ambiance (they appear to mainly do take out). Overall, it was a delicious and affordable meal that fulfilled my sushi craving and left me very satisfied (don't let the stairs or hallway keep you away!) read more

Placed a weekday lunch order for the Jurin Omakase box through Yelp. I walked over to pickup. It was on the second floor of an unassuming building so be observant or you'll walk pass it. You have to ring a bell to be buzzed in. I got there early so they were still preparing my order. I stepped outside by the stairs to take a call and the very nice lady that works the front of the kitchen brought my order out to me. There were two small tables with chairs and a short counter for dine in. I took my lunch back to the office. There was no fishy smell so it's a good lunch to have at the desk...if you must. Each piece was sizable, delicious and fresh. It came with miso soup and a salad. It was a nice midweek treat for myself. read more

Okay so first and foremost this place is amazing especially for the price is AMAZING!! Price aside the service was fantastic, so accommodating and it felt authentic. Eating here was an absolute pleasure from the sushi to the service to the ambiance of the place. Their music choices and the simple feel of the establishment itself really didn't take away from the dining experience but added to it feels like you're eating at a friends house from the consideration and comfort to the home made quality of the food. read more

Such a great little sushi restaurant in midtown. We visited a few days ago on a rainy weekday. We ordered sashimi and spicy tuna and a few other things. The fish was fresh and delicious. The owner is so caring and kind. She brought trainer chopsticks for our 5 year old son and took a poloaroid both for her wall and for us to keep. She also, and very thoughtfully, brought us some mochi dessert on the house. She said - it's okay, I can do this, I'm the owner. Ha! I'm so glad we found Jurin sushi. We'd come to Jurin after walking into another nearby sushi place and being brusquelly asked what we wanted. Uh - to eat sushi? After being rudely dismissed and told to come back in half an hour, we tried Jurin. Such a night and day experience. When I'm back in midtown, I'll be having sushi at Jurin. It's a gem of a restaurant. Thanks again! read more
