Jinbei West

I live fairly close to the forum and Jinbei has always been my go to spot. I've been there when they just opened, closing etc. This place is consistent, food quality is pretty high, wait time isn't crazy and considering it's not a super high end restaurant. Their ramen portions are nearly perfect, they don't overdue it with vegetables, broth, and the meat to noodle ratio is right where you want it to be. In my opinion the duck ramen is the best in comparison to the others. The sushi is very good, I wished they didn't tweak the menu because they had the special nigiri which had more of a favorable twist, close to Nori Fish level of quality. All in all, this place is super underrated. It has quality ramen, sushi and rice bowls(wagyu fried rice is my favorite). It has it all. Only con: the ambiance is amazing but it's missing the inviting feeling and engagement. It doesn't feel like the restaurant to its quality.

Wow. Just wow. The firecracker sushi tasted so delicious I regret not ordering more rolls. Small but cute place. Great for a quick bite. I was greeted at the door with a friendly smile. I will definitely be back !!

Review is based on a takeout order.I had the Naruto ramen and shared the salmon carpaccio. Ramen is typically best consumed at the restaurant, but this was pretty good. While the broth was not as rich as other ramens, the meat had good flavor. The soft boiled egg was perfect. While I generally enjoyed the salmon carpaccio, I probably won't order it again. I would get something else from the sushi menu.

Really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is on the nicer end. The ambiance and price point gives more date night/out-on-the-town vibes than dinner with family. At the same time, I was there with my toddlers and there was a family with toddlers sitting across from us too lol. So, family night, date night... they both work here, which is great.The food was good. I enjoyed the katsu curry. The ramen here is less broth-y, more food-y than others. I would've been fine had I not gotten the extra noodles. If I was at the Forum and wanted ramen, this is the go to spot. It definitely adds to the glamour and diversity of the plaza, which is why this place is so awesome!

I would not be writing a review a year ago when this place was worth the price but,unfortunately, consistency is something that they don't take in consideration at all in order to keep up with quality and loyal customers. Don't waste your money and time at Jinbei unless you want to pay high price for bad quality food. What a disappointment!

Very good sushi and ramen!! Lunch have bentos and lunch specials at very reasonable prices. Have to give a try

Very good sushi and accommodated our vegan diet!! Service was very nice by the young girl server. Would definitely recommend and try their kastu curry ramen now it is getting cold

This place is terrible. I don't mind paying a premium for good, quality food and service. You pay a premium here and get neither. See picture for $48 dollars worth of nigiri. Extremely poor fish. Albacore nigiri was not raw, was not seared, but cooked all the way thru because it was so thin. Tuna was fishy and pitiful. To top it off restaurant canceled an entree on our order and didn't replace it with anything. Somebody didn't get dinner. Go anywhere but here.

This is the worst sushi place! Ordered the traditional nigiri and extra sushi pieces. Two pieces of the fish nigiri had bones. The sushi rice was cold and stiff. The shrimp nigiri had a chemical taste to it. The light sodium soy sauce tasted very salty. Also tried their rice bowl. Not authentic but more edible than the sushi. The entire order took a long time to arrive. Avoid this restaurant!

The service was extremely well from the staff and waiter. However, the food was just bland. I definitely won't be coming back. I ordered (Guy Fieri's) Katsu Curry Ramen. Soon as I took a bite into the ramen dish, I could tell that all the ingredients came from Walmart. Whomever that was in the kitchen that cooked my dish obtain a Maruchan Chicken Ramen Noodle Packet, noodles from the packet, and mixed it with some great value curry seasoning from the spice aisle. If I wanted to experiment in the kitchen myself at home I would otherwise I wasted my time eating food that's distasteful. To each is their own.
