Great place. Super authentic Japanese food. I was blown away at the service and quality of the fish and noodles.

Amazing place with amazing food!

Every dish I tried was exceptional, the atmosphere is cozy, the staff and our host Gabe Lewis went above and beyond with the service. Again, the sashimi and everything we ordered was melt in your mouth delicious. When I visit Oxnard again it will be on my return list.

Wonderful sushi...

This guy wholesale uni (sea urchin) all around the country, so his restaurant never runs out!

I was shocked how beautiful the desert was (see photo)

Food and experience were underwhelming. Friendly people with what appears to be a local following.

I had a nice Friday night dinner at Izakaya Jin Japanese restaurant on Channel Islands Boulevard in Port Hueneme.

My first time. Although it’s small, the menu is quite extensive.

I lived in Japan years ago and enjoy the cuisine. But the Izakaya Jin menu had quite a few dishes I’d never had.

The selection goes far beyond the typical sushi options. Izakaya Jin’s menu is full of reasonably priced “small plates.” Almost certainly some new dishes, even for a seasoned connoisseur of Nihon delicacies.

Very nice option for Japanese food. Chicken skewers were great. Ramen was very well done, one of the best ramen I've ever had. Great selection of sides. Pure and simple Japanese food. Will regularly come back.

Overall I thought the meal was really good, but the salt content was a little bit too high for my pallet.

Really good Japanese restaurant!!
One of the closest experiences to a traditional Japanese izakaya in the U.S.
The atmosphere and menu really capture the spirit of a true izakaya. The food is excellent and priced reasonably, which is hard to find these days.

The sushi isn’t the highlight—but that’s more about the fish quality available in the U.S. at a reasonable price than the chef’s skills. They clearly do their best with what they have, and it shows. That said, the rest of the dishes are genuinely great and well worth it.

If you’re looking for authentic flavors and a relaxed vibe, this spot delivers.

Love the food and vibe! Keep up the great work!

Excellent and authentic food! To be honest, my expectations weren't high. I saw it had great reviews, and my friend insisted we try it…but I just left Japan, and my standards are rather high, and I didn't want to be a snob.

This place far exceeded my expectations! Great flavor and prices for Orion, Chu-hi, gyoza, and kaarage—staples of any good izakaya! I also got ramen, which was very good! The rice on my nigiri wasn't my favorite, but the bluefin tuna is my favorite (and sometimes hard to find) and was nice.

Dragon roll dissolved in my mouth. So delicious! So happy for a more authentic Japanese spot in our area. Definitely coming back to try their ramen.
