Shrimp hibachi no rice
Harvey J.

Service is good. Food is a little bland. This is not a traditional hibachi restaurant.

Chicken ramen
Keegan G.

I've been a handful of time now and haven't disliked a single thing. If you like kimchi their kimchi ramen is so freaking delicious. Fried rice is the best I've had in the Jackson area and if you like pink sauce this is the best pink sauce I've ever had - it is smoky though so if you don't like that don't get it. This is a brand new restaurant, so you have to be patient. So far it is just a husband and wife working here so time is the only downfall to this restaurant. They are also actively working on the menu so it can seem a bit scuffed. The decorations are authentic Japanese and they now have their ambient lighting set up which is a cool vibe. Could use a bit more things hung up on the wall though - specifically to cover up some outlets showing.

Shrimp Ramen
Richard C.

For those that don't want to read my long written review I don't recommend and will not be back. I have been seeing post from J Japanese Restaurant on facebook for a few weeks. My wife and I decided to take the plunge today. We both love Japanese cuisine and actually lived in Japan for a few years. You were very excited for a new Japanese restaurant in Clinton. We wanted to give the best try we could. We entered planning on Sushi and Ramen. After a quick look around I decided we would wait on the sushi. While there was no bad smell, the overall setup and design just made me ask myself a few questions. So we order the shrimp and vegetable tempura as an appetizer with each of us getting a bowl of ramen and a coke each. The service was overall poor. We were served two cans of coke with no glasses or ice. I am sad to report that the tempura was just fried food with little or no actual tempura flakes and was served with Chinese sweet and sour sauce not an actual tempura dip. The ramen was also a disappointment. The pork was good but everything else was just average at best. The staff can to our table 4 times total. 1. To take our order. 2. To deliver our cans of coke. 3. To deliver the appetizer. 4. To deliver the ramen. I had to go to the counter to pay. They seemed as if they could not have carried less if we were happy. I will finish by saying this. With one trip to the local Asian market I make better food at home.

The filet was fantastic the sushi was really good. I got the filet rare and it was perfectly cooked…read morevery tender and rare Great ginger sauce must be house because stronger and better than others

I went for dinner time and wanted to try the spicy ramen. It was okay. There was more broth than…read moreanything, with not a whole lot of meat or other items, which was a little sad because the meat had a nice flavor. Noodles were nothing special, and broth was okay with a little spice. Overall, just 'okay'. I've had much better for similar prices. What I did not like was when the check came. I was expecting a certain price, because I picked this place based on their online menu, which included the price of the ramen. I thought it was a fair price, so I decided to go there for dinner. Nowhere in the online menu did it say anything about an additional forced gratuity charge (photo included of receipt). I asked the server what this forced gratuity was and if she got this or if it went to the company, and she said it's new, and it goes to all the food staff. This left me very confused.... So, I'm tipping everyone at 15%? Does that mean all the other restaurant patrons are also tipping everyone 15%? Sounds to me like they are just forcing a 15% tip and dividing it equally among workers, which is fine, but then at the bottom it also had a 'suggested tip', implying that they wanted you to double tip the waiter/waitress. Or, is this just a 'worker fee' that they are handing off to the customer because the company doesn't pay their employees a livable wage? Either way, that's bullshit to me. Normally, I would have tipped more than the 15% on my meal, usually leaving $4 if the service was good, $5 if it was very good. I really don't do the % game, I just give them $4-5 for their time with me as a single customer. But, if I'm already being charged $2.10, and I wanted to leave the difference of $1.90, I felt like that now made it look like I'm being cheap, so instead I just walked out and left it at 15% that they forced upon me and decided to write this poor review. I do NOT like forced gratuities, service fees, etc. What ever you call it, I don't like it. I'm not the only one, either. As a restaurant, it's up to you to price your items appropriately up front so that YOU are able to pay your staff appropriately and NOT rely on deceptive hidden fees that only show up when the bill comes. I was very tempted to ask for the manager and ask for it to be taken off, but instead I just feel bad for the server and hope she either is making enough money from the 15% tip all, or finds a better paying job. Instead, this wastes my time thinking about it, wastes the waiter's time trying to explain it, and makes the patrons feel bad about tipping. Shame on you Ichiban! I don't expect to come back unless they reply to this telling me they stopped this deceptive practice.

My first time trying Wasabi. It looks like your typical sushi place, with the bright wood walls…read moreand tables. I was instantly seated and my server greeted me within a minute. She was very efficient, professional and nice. She made my first visit pleasurable. I initially went to try the sushi but their lunch menu looked interesting, so I ordered the wasabi honey shrimp bento box. It came with a choice of miso soup or salad (I got the soup), fried rice and a California roll. This is by far a great bento box selection. The shrimp did not have tails, making them easier to eat. The wasabi honey dipping sauce was also delicious! I don't even like wasabi but it was very good for dipping the shrimp. The rice had a good flavor and despite me not caring for california rolls, this one was pretty good. The soup was basic but with a dash of black pepper, it turned out ok. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and look forward to dining there in the future.

I liked this sushi place, ended up visiting it three times during my recent trip as it is walking…read moredistance from a number of nearby hotels where I was staying. All portions are generous size, lots of fish in sushi rolls, and everything was fresh and delicious. Service was good, I can't say I was blown away but really no complaints either. First time I had the sashimi dinner they don't bring miso and house salad with it which I only realized it was included during my second visit when they did bring it. Oh well! Like I said, the food was really fresh and good. Definitely come visit if you live sushi.
