We were very pleased with our dinner at Jensai. The happy hour menu is expansive and has plenty of good drink and food options. The service was impeccable and the restaurant is very clean. Honestly, we were really happy with everything and found a new spot we'll be frequenting!

It has been awhile since i patronized this spot. We came on a Monday night and only few tables were occupied. there were actually more homeless people outside the parking lot than patrons. But what did we order and how were the entrees. We ordered the following:1) Sushi rolls: Chefs special "Mystery" roll consisted of a very strong tuna sashimi taste that was a deep fried roll. Not sure, but a strong flavorful raw fish taste makes one wonder on the freshness. We also ordered a salmon roll. Decent size filled with salmon and cucumbers and topped with more salmon. both rolls were ok. I just hope the "mystery" roll won't provide a mystery trip to the restroom. yikes! 2) two chicken teriyaki plates: looked like 2 pieces of chicken thighs, rice, salad, and both came with miso soup. Decent size plates and chicken was moist. 3) Sesame chicken plate: decent size plate. they used white meat chicken for this entree. our dining companion said the chicken was fine. 4) Unagi Donburi: the bowl looked great. But it was the first time seeing this entree arrive cold. They used cold sushi rice for the foundation and sliced several cold pieces of unagi on top covered with unagi sauce. the flavor was fine but was taken back by it being a cold dish. perhaps that is how they serve this dish? I asked our wait staff and she said i can ask for it warm next time. Hmmmm - next time? Overall: the food was decent, the price was fine, but not really a destination place. If you are in the area, sure give it a try- but i wouldn't drive across town just to experience the entrees here. They are many other destination Japanese restaurants one could patronize instead.

Jensai is located on 16th street, across from the ARCO. There is minimal parking spaces in front of the restaurant but we were still able to find one. I visited during the week and it was not busy at all, I am not sure if it gets busy during the weekend or happy hour. The server was awesome and very kind. He also promoted their happy hour and recommended we come back to try it out. We ordered the miso fish and chips as an appetizer and they were really crispy and the potatoes were a nice thick cut. The fish was really soft, however I did feel like it was overwhelming greasy, order them with that in mind. My boyfriend loved them and he doesn't mind greasy food and I thought they were pleasant. For sushi we order the Volcano, 9er roll and the JenSai Blue Fire Roll. Highly recommend you try those three.

Great fresh and BIG rolls!!8 great sized pieces and all this for ~$16 so great. Very fresh tuna, cucumber and avocados. Jasmine tea was nice, hot and fresh. Slightly slow service when dining in but did not disappoint when dishes hit the table rather quickly. Will return!

We came here on a Monday night to celebrate a friend's birthday, to be honest when we pulled up it's was a bit sketch. The street had a bunch of randos walking around. Women experienced homelessness sat right outside talking out loud. We could see no one was there yet and really wondered how dinner was going to go.Well come to find out, it was delicious!!! We ordered some great tasting rolls and the fish and chips along with the golden gate was prob the best sushi I have had so far in sac. Trust me, the fish was crispy and the fries was so tasty and flavorful. The sauce they provided with it. amazing!!Come try this place out. Service was kind and fast!!! I would come again for sure!!

Love this place and have been coming for years. I have brought so many friends to Jensai and no one has ever been disappointed. I love coming to happy hour here especially. Highly recommend the Ava roll, the niner roll (which kills me as a lifetime Niners hater The gyoza, tempura veggies, and omg the WINGS are my fave. People always think I'm crazy when I talk about the wings at Jensai.. until they have them and quickly realize all the hype was spot on. Took myself on a much needed solo date yesterday and per usual, everything was wonderful and the staff were great per usual.

Jensai is great! The location is kind've weird (on 16th right next to the freeway), but Jensai is consistent, reasonably priced, and the food is bangin. I'm big on creativity and flavor (no boring, country stuff), and Jensai brings it. Their roll with habanero in it is my favorite!There isn't much ambiance here, the inside definitely is a hair dated, but I typically do takeout. Service is very friendly as well!If the inside was updated a hair I'd give Jensai 5 stars. But for now it gets a still incredible 4.5/5 in my book. Highly recommended!

We have been coming here for years. This time we had a party of 12 and the food and service was perfect as usual. The personalized service (the staff knows us by name and our usual order). Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and said the staff was very friendly and helpful.
