We went for a Friday lunch. The prices were good for a lunch menu, but one of us got the sushi and sashimi lunch and the other got the 3 roll special. Unfortunately, the sushi (esp the tuna) was not all that fresh. - made us wonder whether the lunch specials were made using fish left over from the night before. Service was fast. The salads that came with the lunch specials were high end, with great ginger dressing. read more

My husband and I recently dined here on our anniversary. We love sushi and have heard great things about Mr. J's. Overall, we had a great experience. We ordered the Ruby Red Dragon and Tokyo Sour drinks which were both yummy. For food, we had the Lover Boat and Philadelphia roll. A salad and soup came with the meal. Everything was delicious and we would definitely come back! read more

It's not often that I would drive nearly an hour just for sushi, but Mr. J Asian Bistro is worth it! All of the fish was noticeably fresh and high-quality, and we were impressed by the presentation of some of their creative rolls. I like that they also serve Chinese and Thai dishes here, and even though we only had Japanese dishes on this visit, we look forward to coming back and trying more. Everything arrived to the table quickly, and the staff were kind and attentive. The restaurant itself had a nice vibe, and we sat across from the sushi bar which was exceptionally clean. I highly recommend checking them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

I have been going to Mr J's since they opened! You will find that they have a good selection of choices on their menu.

This is my Favorite go-to Authentic Chinese Food Restaurant. I order plant based food, but of course they offer an assortment. (They also offer Sushi and Thai.) read more

Best Asian food in Guilford. Choose from Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine. All are good, sit in the dining room or take out. We've been going for years! read more

Everything ordered made exactly as requested such as dividing 2 main dishes Orange Beef with Pea Pods underneath (not Broccoli that it comes with) & Coconut Pineapple Rice with Vegetables both divided exactly into 2 separate containers so I can freeze half as due to stomach issues eat small portions so I will have enough for New Years Day and wrapped up the 2nd container & put in freezer. Staff very helpful, always & quietly considerate so totally way to start the New Year 2026. Much appreciated Ms. Lonnie S. read more

Heard mixed reviews from coworkers/Yelp, and decided to try it out for myself. I was not disappointed, and ate the best meal I've had in a while! The food is amazing, and the price is right for the cuisine. However, the portions are big and very good. Wasn't feeling hungry after my meal. Their Lo Mien is very light compared to others I've had in the past and still tastes good; if you're not a fan of overly salty Asian cuisine, this is the place to go. They offer a large selection of Asian food, from multiple cultures. This place will satisfy any palate. Don't let the price tag deter you from trying this location! The service here was outstanding, with the staff greeting my party when we entered, helping us to our table, and serving us. Very sociable with my party and other patrons, and very attentive. Servers came by whenever I was low on water and refilled it. Overall great staff that do good work! The ambiance of this restaurant was very pleasant. Although I've heard this place is popular for its takeout, dining is was just as much a great experience. The atmosphere can get a tad loud with a lot of people, however it was pretty empty when I went (due to takeouts popularity). If you decide to dine in, you'll be treated to a lovely atmosphere with pretty artwork and decor. They give you glass plates, silverware, and reusable napkins. Though this place is more casual, you still feel clean and upscale. Will come again, and found a new favorite place for food in the area! read more

We've been long time customers of Mr J's. This was the 1st time I can say we were disappointed. The Mongolian Beef AND the vegetable fried rice were, at best, bland. Mr J's commands high prices and the food is usually worth the price, but not this time. We won't be back any time soon. read more

The last THREE times I've eaten at this place I have nearly immediate stomach problems.. There's no way that's random. In light of several other Asian resturant closings nearby you'd think they would step up their game and earn the customer ..... read more

Gluten free friendly! Ordered pick up with some friends the other night and the place was packed! I called ahead to see if they had accommodations for gluten allergies and they said if well we're ordering online to make sure to check the box "gluten free" and they'd take it from there. My box was to go container was labeled so not to make it confusing. My friend ordered sushi and said it was good! I got the szechuan chicken (GF) which was ok .. wasn't very spicy. Would be down to go again for decent, GF meal! read more

Came for dinner with the family on a Friday night. There's a small deck overlooking the parking lot and Boston Post Rd, but we decided to eat inside We had a reservation, but didn't need it. Only a couple others in the restaurant, but there seems to be a robust takeout business. Dining area was pretty dark. Service was good and our waitress was attentive. Menu had a good variety and everyone found something. I had the chicken pad thai. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but pretty darn good for the CT shoreline. Prices were reasonable for the portions and we all left satisfied. read more

I have no idea why my wife and I haven't come to this restaurant yet. A few weeks ago, we were at one of the casinos and had a great meal at an upscale, sit down Asian place. We have been looking for something similar in our area, and after a quick search, we found Mr Js. We made a reservation through Google Assistance, and it was easy. We arrived for our dinner this Saturday and the place was busy. There is a sit-down bar to the right as you enter, a sushi sit-down bar up front and a decent sized dining room. We were quickly shown our seats ,got menus, and began to settle in. We ordered a couple of signature cocktails, a blue China for my wife and a pear martini for me. They arrived quickly and were great. The menu covers a variety of Asian cuisine, from sushi to Thai,Japanese, and traditional Chinese. We started with the mini crispy spring rolls, 8 to an order with a duck sauce on the side. Word of warning, the arrived as hot as molten lava, so be careful. With that said, they were excellent, crispy on the outside and almost creamy inside. We continued the meal with 2 vegetarian sushi rolls. The aac roll, avocado, asparagus and cucumber which was fresh and light and a vegetable tempura roll which was equally delicious. Unfortunately, I attacked the rolls before I realized that I hadn't gotten a pic. The rolls were accompanied with a good sized dollop of Wasabi and picked ginger. For dinner, we ordered another round of drinks, this time my wife tried the pear martini and I got the ichinon(?). We decided to split the curry chicken entree off the Chinese section of the menu. It arrived hot and just what we were looking for. Crisp vegetables and juicy chicken in a light,curry sauce. A great meal. We are so happy we found Mr. Js. read more

So glad they are reopened I absolutely love everything about this place . They are all so kind everything is delicious so attentive. The family is the best. Thank you for coming back!!! read more

Good carry out service, food is good and I like the lunch specials. The prices went up but they went up everywhere and it's understandable.

Love this place! Japanese, Chinese, and Thai all done well, all very fresh! Right now they are only open for take out but they are super fast, and it usually only takes 10 mins for an order. They have a great selection and they are super detail oriented so they are sure to include utensils and sauces. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Nearly inedible. The sushi was mid at best and definetely not fresh. They would do better with streamlining the menu and sticking to one cuisine and doing it well. read more

Well well well. This is the best sushi in town. Their lunch special is unbeatable. Everything here is also priced incredibly fairly.

Delicious, divine, and delectable food. I continuously crave their food and will always recommend to others. While they may be pricey at times, the portions are grand making it all worth while. Yum yummy! read more

We always love coming back! The chicken teryaki was nice & tender last night! We ate out on the patio. So fun. However, if you place a very later order on some week days, the chicken can tadte dry or chewy. Good sushi but small. read more

This place is ok but I would go elsewhere for sushi (haven't tried main dishes here though). The spicy rolls (tuna, salmon, and yellowtail) basically all tasted the same and it was hard to tell which was which. Boston roll was ok. Manhattan roll was sooo saucy and had way too much spicy tuna on top. Decent flavor but it all kind of blended together and I had to eat each piece in several bites, which is not ideal for sushi in my opinion. Gyoza was good and gyoza sauce was great. Spring rolls were ok. They had a very cool partitioned pick up option for orders during Covid (you can not dine in here right now). read more

A great place for sushi and other asian delights. We had the lobster roll and the Queen roll and both were very fresh and tasty. We also had the the Tempura Udon which was very good. It's a real find for us and will certainly be back to try other sushi rolls read more

Fast service with quality food. Completely recommend for any occasion. So glad I found

We go here a lot because the food is very good. Pork with garlic sauce is excellent. Tried general tso chicken today and it is average. Needs a little more flavor. One negative of this place is the pricing. Meals are not cheap. $17 for general tso's? That is excessive. read more

Food is amazing! The wait time is SO short and service is amazing! I recommend this place!

Great food! Always get a few sushi rolls when I go with family, and the service is always great!

Paid $37 for an order of dumplings, an order of edamame, and two rolls. I was shocked when I got the bill. The restaurant smelled like fish. The edamame was mush on the inside. Could not even eat it. The spicy tuna was ground up and mixed with ground-up scallions. Not even real fish. In the roll, they used fake crab. I will definitely never come back to this place again. read more

I'd say our favorite sushi place but it's really our favorite Asian fusion place. Everything is fresh and delicious. Green curry with veggies is my personal favorite but we've never had a bad entree here. Perfectly seasoned and spiced and could be easily modified for less or more spices. Very friendly staff too. Rolls are very good as well. 10/10 highly recommend !! read more

Great food super speedy service and always made fresh to order. They have the best lo mein in ct hands down. I also love the sweet and sour chicken as they don't give you the big chewy bits of chicken dipped in pancake batter that most other places consider standard. read more

Hands down best Sushi on the shoreline!! They have great customer service. You can call in a take out order and it's ready in 10 mins. Very talented sushi chefs and amazingly fresh fish! I am always looking for the next best sushi place and have tried over 20 places in Ct. This is in my top 5! You can also order Chinese, and Thai food as well which is awesome. They have something for everyone. Favorites: Shrimp Pad Thai, any of the sushi rolls (crazy roll), chirashi, tuna tartar, spicy crunchy shrimp roll, salmon and tuna avocado and general tso's chicken! read more

We have been ordering from Mr Js before covid and the food has always been good! They actually have a contactless pickup now and online ordering making it safe and easy to do. Favorite dishes include spring rolls, general tso chicken and spicy crunchy crab roll. read more

Very disappointing. Was given mini spring rolls instead of regular size. We ordered 3 dishes, all too sweet. Green shrimp curry was more like cream of coconut soup. Chicken green beans with garlic sauce very sweet and green beans way over cooked. hot and sour soup had very little in it. Won't be back. read more

Absolutely the BEST! I'm afraid this place will go out of business because I finally found NERAVNA food here! Keep up the great food! Will not go anywhere else for these menu options. Can't wait to order takeout AGAIN!. read more

Sadly this was the worst sushi I have ever had .. the salmon rolls were all fat. They were thick and chewy.. so gross .. I live in the apartments near by and I love sushi so I figured I would give them another chance .. so another day I ordered a different type of sushi and the eel avocado rolls had pieces of something sharp in them!! I had sharp objects stuck in my throat after eating it and when I was chewing it felt like glass shards.. I'm so upset because I love sushi and was excited to live near a sushi restaurant that I could go to all the time read more

Got sushi from Mr. j for Friday night take out. The sushi was so fresh and delicious!!!! My husband said the place was busy when he picked up- always a good sign. We got a mix of rolls and special rolls. The shrimp tempura was out of this world and I could have eaten more even though it's usually not my go to. The Godzilla, American Dream, and Hanna special rolls were all delicious!!!! This place far exceeded my expectations, it's the only sushi place in guilford but even if it wasn't, it would be the only one I would visit! read more
