We have been many times and were excited to take someone who had not. From the very beginning the service was very slow. By the last order of nigiri we waited 45min with no fish in site. When we asked to just skip it and give us the check it took another 10min despite being a relatively quiet Tuesday night. Food was still outstanding though.

I celebrated a birthday at Gi-Jin and it was a fantastic experience! From start to finish, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful with making suggestions for food and drink options. All of the food we had was very high in quality and delicious! We enjoyed miso soup, the starter salad, several plates of nigiri, and a tuna "pizza". It was one of the best meals I've ever had and will definitely be coming in again in the future!

Fabulous experience! Our server was incredible. Everything from the creative cocktails to the edamame and salads and chef’s choices to the hand rolls and desserts, everything was divine. It’s one of our favorite places in the city.

The food was excellent. We had Mido soup, dynamite crab, nigiri plate and several hand rolls. They were all top notch. The portions are small, so if we hadn't had dessert, I would have been hungry afterwards. The staff was friendly and very professional. Service was laid back and helpful. We were seated right by the servers station, so it felt like they were on top of us the whole time. I guess someone has to sit there, but we had the first reservation and they took multiple walk-ins, so it would make more sense to give us a better seat at the counter. Overall, I'm probably being critical because of how expensive it is, but despite how nice it is, it's not worth it to me. . For that price, I think it should be over the top, and I don't think it was.
