Jinbei is a restaurant known for its authentic Japanese food, offering a variety of dishes to choose from. The lunch specials, like the "sushi lunch," are affordable and praised for their quality and perfect portion size. The service is generally great, with friendly and attentive staff, many of whom speak Japanese, enhancing the dining experience. The ambiance is cozy and pleasant, especially at the sushi bar, where customers can enjoy watching the chefs at work. Although the wait can be long during peak hours, the food quality makes it worthwhile. Each dish is handled with care, and even the basics, like miso soup with real tofu and seaweed, are done well. Customers appreciate the fresh wasabi and perfectly cooked fried foods. While the prices for dinner may be on the higher side, the experience and quality keep guests coming back. Jinbei is recommended for those craving Japanese cuisine, though its location, over 6 miles away from some customers' residences, may deter frequent visits.
