The fish was really fresh and well prepared. Sashimi had a couple of more uncommon ingredients, such as octopus, and the high grade of tuna was appreciated. Chirashi sushi contained some fish we'd never had, even in Japan, which was welcome. The green tea tiramisu proved an interesting and tasty dessert. We will definitely return soon!Is this helpful?

The staff was wonderful. Very friendly and attentive. The food was good, not great. We tried a variety (rolls, chefs choice, edamame, salad, entree) and there were some inconsistencies across the sushi. Food quality and flavor was average. The restaurant could use a good cleaning.Is this helpful?

Jinsho always has great variety and quality of sushi. They have a relatively limited but great tasting kitchen menu as well, but the real star is the sashimi and sushi. Great quality, great breadth, lots of fresh options from Japan. Also a terrific sake list. You pay for quality, but one of the most consistent, authentic, and high quality sushi restaurants in the Bay Area.1 person found this helpful
