A coworker introduced me to this place, and as a lover of sushi I was very surprised. The decorations and the way the tables are set up make you feel like you're in Japan. I got the sushi roll combo that lets you choose three different rolls and my coworker got the bento lunch special. Both came with so much food that it is definitely worth the price. The fish in the sushi rolls could have been more fresh but they all tasted good! The service was fast, but I will say that after we got our food he didn't really check up on us again and we had to flag him down to get to go boxes. I am excited to try their bento box next time I come!

Big fan! Service is good, and sushi is delicious. They have a pretty wide selection of items on their menu. We always get a seat right away, and they are attentive. Our most recent trip had some tasty options: Kabocha Pumpkin soup, spicy tuna roll (always!), and spicy moon roll. Also enjoy the crispy avocado buns too. Highly recommend this place!

Amazing fresh sushi, excellent ramen (we had spicy pork and all of the rolls were well balanced and delicious!) My family of 4 loved this place and don't skip on the dessert, especially the mochi ice cream!

Sushi Jin is a local DMV chain with locations in Woodbridge, VA and Silver Spring, MD. I was in the area meeting up with some friends, who've dined here previously and I have to admit, that the overall experience was pretty good! I've literally walked past this place many times on my way to the next door Silver Diner, so I'm glad I had the opportunity to finally check it out.Located near the Bailey's Crossroads area of Alexandria off of busy Route 7, this Sushi Jin has a small-ish surface parking lot, but your better bet is to use the adjacent underground garage which also services the nearby Harris Teeter; and bonus that parking (at least for now) is free.Walking in, you immediately notice the "compact" and "efficient" (translation: tiny) interior. To the left is the open counter where the chefs are preparing sushi, and directly in front is the host stand and cashier station. We were seated along the wall, which is probably better and towards the back, which is preferred if you want to be able to have audible conversations and not have people constantly walking by inches from your table.Appetizers consisted of the chicken karaage and pork gyoza. Gyoza wrapper was pan fried to produce a nice crispy exterior. Decent amount of seasoned pork filling, but I found the accompanying dipping sauce on the sweet side - with sauces being overly sweet to be a recurrent theme throughout the meal. Chicken karaage was surprisingly good. Sushi Jin correctly using panko breading to produce a crunchy texture, while the meat stays moist. The dipping sauce was more reminiscent of mayo, but I added some of the tableside hot chili oil and it was fine.The sushi was prepared...above average...and for most sushi joints in the area, that's a win for me. The rice was properly seasoned with slight tartness from vinegar and not dry. The fish tasted fresh without being mushy, and the presentation was good with the sushi being tightly rolled so as to not unfurl when picked up with chopsticks. My only detraction is again, that the sauces drizzled on top, were way too sweet. The spider roll had good amounts of deep fried soft shell crab, but there was this odd sauce that was overly thick and tasted like molasses. The Burning Love roll had tuna, tobiko, and the shtick is it arrives at the table shaped like a heart with the center on fire, but the mayo based sauce on top, was you guessed it, on the sweet side. I forgot to take pics of the other dish - Chicken Teriyaki Don - but my friends seem to enjoy it and it was plenty big enough to feed two.If I'm back again in the future, I'm going to request that the sauces be on the side.Overall, I had an enjoyable experience at Sushi Jin. Servers were frequently stopping by to clear plates and refill water glasses, as well as to inquire about our meal. And during these inflationary times, I thought it was good value for your dining dollar.Meal for four adults, with appetizers, one entree, sushi courses, and just pots of hot tea for beverages with tax and tip came to around $130.

So we went on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was pretty full. We were able to sit very quickly and the entire time every server was very attentive to all patrons. We placed our order and the food came out very quickly. The spicy gin Ramen was delicious and spicy and so much food I had to take more than half home. The restaurant was very clean. The ambience was nice. It was a little packed like the tables were a little bit crowded for my liking but nothing discomforting or overwhelming. I highly recommend this place.

I have lived in Japan for a long time and my expectations coming here and eating Japanese food were higher than normal. I understand that but when you say it's Japanese food and don't give me Japanese food that's when I get annoyed, especially the salt content was so hard that I could throw up a sodium mine or something smart I don't know, but it was just too much salt even though I specifically requested to lower the salt content and they were still actively trying to kill me, the sushi is just generic sushi and I'm pretty sure the people working or not even like remotely Japanese not even one guy in there was Japanese so like if you don't know what the food taste like why make I don't I truly don't understand I wish they would do better because I really really like Japanese food and this was not it. Not authentic at all.

I've been to this sushi place before several times and tried to go Sunday night; they have it listed on Google that they close at 9:30 PM. We arrived at 8:45 PM. The "Open" neon sign was lit up so we went inside.We found three people at the front counter and a woman told us "I'm sorry, we are closing." I told them that they have it listed online as closing at 9:30 PM. She said:"We're only doing carry out because it would take too long to order and be waited on and all of that."I said that I didn't need time to order because I knew what I wanted, this sashimi entrée they have on the menu which is all salmon, maybe a large Sapporo can and that's it. My friend wanted the same thing, because we've had it before.The woman still said no and told us all they're doing is carry out now and asked if we wanted to look at the menu. We asked to speak to the manager about this but she stated that she was the manager. I worked in the service industry for a long time. For restaurants, or for retail, it almost never matters when the store closes. Sometimes people get in a couple minutes under the wire and get waited on and get to stay until they leave. I wasn't even asking for that. We arrived 45 MINUTES BEFORE CLOSING and thought we could at least be seated. We weren't trying to keep them there late, but even if we did, in the industry that happens all the time.I told them that they should put online that they close at 9 PM if they want to treat customers like this. We tried to make it easy for them even, by telling them what we wanted and we didn't need special time to order or anything. I would expect more than the staff of a restaurant acting like a DMV call center employee saying "I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do."I'm going to get a table, what am I expected to do? Come in two hours before closing???!!Absolutely unacceptable. Everybody needs to know that this place treats customers like crap like this.

My favorite sushi spot hands down! I used to go to the one in Woodbridge when i lived there and so when i moved to the Alexandria area i was happy to know there was one here as well. My favorite sushi is the shijinku murderer and the dragon rolls!

Empty Bowl Review Pictured is "sushi Jin for 2" and for $60 I got 8pc Nigiri, 10 Sashimi, 2 rolls, 1 special roll, 2 salads, and 2 miso soups! This food was AMAAAAAZIIIIING!!!!Salad:All fresh ingredients with delicious house made peanut dressing that was very light and enhanced the flavor of the vegetables rather than cover up. Each bite was crispy and refreshing.Miso Soup:Well prepared, not too salty, just the right amount to leave you drooling for the main course.Sushi/Sashimi:Start of the show. Chefs prepared it so elegantly and beautifully I almost didn't want to eat it. Of course when I did, each of my tastebuds climaxed in joy. They continued to chorus after I finished.The complex flavors of each sushi/sashimi bite lasted throughout the entire chew and aftertaste was so good it commanded a pause between the next OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!Flavors and textures were: rich, Smoky, Slightly sweet, soft, firm, custard-like, savory. There was a bit of everything and so well balanced I almost lost my mind in oral satisfaction. One roll tasted like honey mustard - but with actual honey and house-made mustard similar to Dijon but with slightly more spicy kick.Everything else being cooked up in the kitchen smelled so gooooooood! They really should have punch cards.Furthermore, their filtered watered was delicious, menu was VERY reasonably priced, and interior design felt "cozy."Next time I come back, it's with friends....very many friends.

Been here several times and have always enjoyed the experience. Service is always fast and friendly.Both the ramen and the sushi here is top notch! Ramen has bouncy noodles always perfectly cooked and the broths are flavorful and rich. We always get a couple rolls too because they're so good. Fresh ingredients and the rolls are a good size so you really get your money's worth as opposed to some places where the rolls are tiny. Some favorites from here are the Spicy Jin Ramen (it's not too spicy), Golden Dragon Roll, Memory of Geisha Roll, and Crispy Yellowtail Roll.
