No full menu with descriptions, just a list to check off what you want to order. This made it difficult for a party of 4 to order. The food was excellent and well worth a repeat. Service was prompt and prices are fair.
Rolls were ok, but sashimi quality was not great. Took quite a long time to get food out and they didnt check on us much. Wont go again.

An excellent sushi place offering a variety of rolls, sashimi, nigiri, etc. They also have an extensive drinks list and offer some intriguing matcha lattes. The chef accommodated my gluten-free request and made a couple of substitutions in the chirashi. There was beef sashimi in the chirashi, which I'd never had before - it was surprisingly tender and delightful. Overall, an excellent experience.

The food was outstanding quality of the fish. Excellent, the service was very sluggish disinterested and disappointing. On top of that I had put in a request when I booked the reservation that it was my husband's birthday, and no one seemed to have noticed that, and I got a lot of excuses about how they hadn't caught it in their system, etc. It just added to the poor service experience
We just returned from Hawaii and the sushi here was by far better this any we had in the islands.
Very high quality restaurant. Great sushi . The takeout area that occupies the former sushi bar has detracted from the ambience a bit but this oldie is a “can't miss.” If you're looking for great sushi this is your spot. And it's an awesome value as well
We had black cod , slightly overcooked. Not the best Sushi restaurant todate plus pricey for no smiles or comprehending our request.

Continues to deteriorate in every aspect and now I have had enough—after 10+years need to remove them from my go to list.
The wagyu and chu toro were both kind of tough. But the salmon toro, o toro, and inari were delish!!! Soooo soft and buttery. I get emotional over any good nigiri and this was one of those times

The sushi was below average and the quality was very poor. The fish didn’t taste fresh and the overall experience was disappointing. Would not recommend

The food was outstanding in quality & taste. We had sushi as well a grilled entree. The service was excellent. There are comfortable tables outdoors with the heaters and also indoors.
Food is ok but the price is way too high
Very poor experience at Jin Sho. First, with a reservation, we were put at a table close to the open door of the restaurant. I had to ask to be moved away from the door, as there was cold wind blowing inside. We were hoping the food would make the night better, but we were disappointed. Regular sushi, rolls and noodles were below average, despite the above average price. Wine selection was terrible, with bottles of wine on the menu retailed at <$15 on bevmo. The only decent dish was the selection of top sushi, which we had to pay quite a bit for. All of this combined with poor service, with the waitress that couldn't access the table after other people sat down at another table, so they had to pass us plates or ask the people in the other table to move. Overall, we don't plan to visit this place anymore.
Wow. Great fish. Not cheap!!!
Good sushi and service. Authentic Japanese food.
