Jintan

I had the chicken teriyaki here, which came with a side of rice and miso soup. The miso soup had a solid taste, but seemed to be lacking something, either more tofu or more seaweed. The chicken teriyaki was okay, although nowhere near the most flavorful I've ever had. I did really like the broccoli and potatoes (these were so yummy!) that came with this dish, so much so that I ordered another side of them.My friends ordered the sushi and neither had any complaints. One of them spoke very highly of the fried chicken sushi roll, so I'd recommend that.

Solid 3 stars. It wasn't great but very average. Wine bottles were around 30 but quality was low.Fish was fresh but rolls weren't super flavorful. Service was decent and the place had good vibes. Not too crowded but we went on a Wednesday evening around 730.

They asked for our vaccine cards and ID. Both myself and my aunt took out our ID and vaccine cards. The guy looked at them like they were fake and my aunt who has a New York ID, he asked if it was real. Are you kidding me? She's 82, why would she have a fake ID. Did you not want us to eat there, because we felt unwelcome and left.

Given the raving reviews on Yelp, I was expecting a bit more from Jintan. The restaurant itself is pretty unassuming and doesn't carry a name on the exterior, but the inside is clean and stylish. My friend and I were seated on the mat area, where you have to remove your shoes and sit cross-legged. This was one of the best parts of the meal, even though it really isn't the most comfortable seating choice since our legs cramped up.Jintan offers a decent selection of sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, appetizers, and the like. Their sashimi combos are pretty affordable ($20-40) as previous reviews stated and some of their basic rolls are $5-8 with special rolls being $13-16. My friend and I opted for the curry udon ($12), mononoke ramen ($12), sweet spicy shrimp roll ($7), and red dragon roll ($14). I wasn't too impressed with my ramen; it was lacking in flavor and the pork was salty. The rolls were good but nothing too special. The curry udon was also good and the broth was lighter than expected. We had friendly service and Jintan is a decent place to go to if you're looking for pretty cheap sushi in the area. Strangely, the restaurant appears on the credit card line as Beron Beron. Just a tip for future customers paying with card and expecting it to say Jintan.

The ramen and cooked food are really great. The sushi average - small pieces, not very flavorful. We asked about the ramen and the mononoke special ramen is pretty much the same recipe as their predecessor Saporo (it's tonkotsu ramen).. It's really good rich broth. Packed with toppings, tender flavorful chiasu, boiled egg, corn, etc.. all for $12. Service was sketchy. We waited a very long time to place our order and we waited a very long time for our bill as the server forgot we asked for it.

First of all, I like this place a lot. Second, I would like the publicly acknowledge the SHAMEFUL comment left by a man name Mark D on 3/4/18 which said:"The waitress complained about a $5 tip amount on a $63 bill. It was a first date and it was embarrassing and inappropriate. In Japan, tipping is considered rude, this place isn't authentic, it's as American as it gets. I came to your restaurant to have a good time, not to be your waitresses employer."Wow. First of all, remember you're in New York. She is paid the New York minimum wage for servers, and not only expects, but needs your tip, as it is customary HERE. Your tip was literally 8%. I don't blame her for being annoyed because that IS cheap and you should be embarrassed. Hopefully that was a red flag for the person you were on a first date with.Second, just because she may have been Japanese does not mean she needs to adhere to Japanese tipping customs as she obviously is working in the US. Do you go into a British pub and tip like you're in England? I'd hope not. Also, if the place is not "authentic" to you, what is your argument for tipping like you're in Japan!?Lastly, if you are going out to have a good time, then you should expect to pay for your service properly, just like any other restaurant. I hope this place continues to thrive, regardless of this incredibly rude patron.

Amazing food as usual. We have never been disappointed coming here. Appetizers are delicious and the sushi is always fresh! Ambiance here is perfect. For starters, you can never go wrong with the Hamachi Kama. Also had the Beef Tataki and the Salmon & Yellowtail Tataki. Soooo good!!Spicy Tuna Hand Roll is super fresh too.

Blessing in disguise that the Momofuku line was at the door. When I yelp searched nearby ramen alternatives, Jintan came up. Such a GREAT spot, cheaper for ramen as well. Loved the beef and tofu. Their sushi is fresh as well!

This place is average in terms of freshness of the fish. The price is average. Nothing stands out. I ordered sashimi and a few maki rolls. I had the Philadelphia roll, shrimp and tempura, salmon avocado rolls. They were okay. Service was good. Attentive and my tea was refilled without asking.

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for a date night on Friday and we chose to sit on the seat cushion area that requires you to take off your shoes! What an experience! I saw great reviews on Yelp and this place surely didn't disappoint. I decided to order the udon noodles since it was freezing out and my boyfriend ordered the chicken teriyaki with rice. Both were absolutely delicious! My udon noodles came with mushrooms, chicken, shrimp tempura, fried tofu and fish cakes.. so many fillings and so delicious! The chicken teriyaki dish was so good too, perfectly tender and sauce was on point. We had such a great experience here and we will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!
