If I could give J Sushi in Denton more than 5 stars, I would. We rolled in deep--with a whole crew of adults and kids (aka chaos on legs)--and they didn't just handle it, they owned it. The food? Phenomenal. Every roll was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully put together. Even my picky eaters left with new favorites, and that alone deserves a standing ovation. But the real showstopper? The service. Handling a large group with kids is usually a nightmare waiting to happen, but their staff turned it into a dream. Patient, kind, on top of everything--like it was second nature. They made us feel welcome, not like a burden, and that's rare. Honestly, the service wasn't just 10/10... it was "raise the scale, break the dial, and reset the bar" good. J Sushi is now officially in our rotation. If you're in Denton and you want an experience that's as memorable as it is delicious, this is your spot. read more

Absolutely love J Sushi. The food is always a treat. Great appetizers and a complete menu with just the right amount of items all delicious. The staff was amazing throughout the entire visit. Actually every visit to date. read more

First of all, the food at J Sushi is amazing. Highly recommend. This is a cautionary tale about a Grubhub markup that is not fair to this local business at all. I ordered a decent meal tonight that came to a total of $101.00 with no fees through Amazon prime and a driver tip of 18%. I got my order, which was smaller than expected, with a receipt stapled to the bag for a total of $63.00. Apparently the markups on the GrubHub menu site are incredibly inflated, which means that, despite my Amazon "perks", this local restaurant got cheated out of $40.00. This is 100% not J Sushi's fault, it is GrubHub's. Buyer beware. read more

Way too much money for the quality that you get in return. Please look at the pictures because you'll see clearly that there's salmon is not fresh. You can see the two different colors of the bright orange and the brown. Also if you're getting a sushi that has sauce on it make sure to get a separate container. It's gonna ruin the rest of your rolls.. read more

Favorite sushi in Denton! Loved it when I lived there and now that I've moved out of state, I make a point to return when I'm in town. I've searched high and low for a roll that compares to J's volcano roll without coming close. Service is always fast and friendly! read more

J Sushi - Volcano roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

The service was nice. She was very friendly and seated us right away. We got seated at a booth and it was wobbly and the cushions were very uneven. The server asked for our drink orders right away which was nice. We each ordered sashi bento, chicken teriyaki bento, don katsu bento, seafood fried rice and bulgogi entree. The bento boxes on the menu only showed under the lunch section but you can still order it for dinner with an up charge of $4. Food came within a good time but miso soup was served first. The miso was pretty salty which was still edible but that first sip gave me a shock. Don katsu bento: so each bento comes with soup, salad, fried tempura, California roll and fried gyoza. The style of fried tempura is different from what I am used to. It was thinly sliced carrot onion and zucchini with one shrimp tempura. It's a bit on the greasier side but still crunchy. The gyoza is just your typical fried gyoza that you could buy from the frozen section in your grocery store. Salad had a nice tangy dressing. The katsu was very disappointing as it was super thin and tasted like a chicken nugget. The California roll was okay but nothing to rave about. Honestly the bento wasn't worth the price. Chicken teriyaki bento: the teriyaki is okay nothing special. Sashimi bento: the sashimi was okay. Seafood fried rice: it was pretty tasty I couldn't complain. Bulgogi entree: for the price more meat could've been added. I know it's thinly sliced beef but it seemed more like chopped meat very crumbly. Overall the service is great but the food lacked. It's not really worth the money. read more

I love this sushi place! It's my go to spot & most of the time it's my craving spot. The spicy edamame is soooo delicious, I feel like they have gotten better over time with this as it now hits the spot. Their rolls are very appetizing. My fiancé always switches it up & so far they don't disappoint. Great customer service once we walk in as we get welcomed by the cooks. I usually go for lunch so I haven't seen the ambiance at night but during the day it's very mellow. read more

They have wonderful food, however, prices have increased and portion sizes have consistently been shrinking.

I've been eating here with my family for around three years. It is so delicious, the Japanese food in Denton in our personal opinion. It's always cooked so well, huge portions and tastes absolutely delicious. Their sauces are truly amazing. The Ahi Tower is so delicious as well as the teriyaki chicken. Service is always quick and excellent. It's usually always very cold inside though so bring a jacket! Good music usually too. read more

My daughter and I went in for a quick lunch. She has a gluten issue. I asked them to not put a fried item on top of her roll. The sweet waitress came back and said the "chef" said no. I said seriously? He can't just not put it on? She again, said no. I was furious. My poor kid can barely eat anything and you can't even be nice enough to just not add a topping? He was a total jerk! I will NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN. Not to mention the bathroom was filthy and the restaurant was not much better!!! read more

They fly in specialty fish every Thursday from Japan! This place is the real deal. Not all sushi restaurants are created equal and this one is top notch! Amazing fresh sushi served the right way. Large portions. Great friendly fast wait staff. Relaxing music and vibe. Fast drink refills. Easy to get in without a wait. read more

I wasn't sure there would be good sushi options in Denton but was pleasantly surprised with this find. At first, I was leery of the place because a few people came in with no mask (smh, Texans) and wasn't sure if people were going to be seated too closely. Well, let me confirm for those who are like me and want to avoid catching covid, that they spaced parties appropriately and I felt completely comfortable. I sat along the wall and they kept a table between each party. Since I was dining alone, I skipped an appetizer and went with my main meal along with sake. I opted for the unfiltered white peach sake. It was pretty good and not overally sweet. The Orange Blossom and Baja rolls were my selections for dinner. Both were very good! The baja was light and just felt fresh. I loved it. I love salmon so I knew I'd like the orange blossom. The service was also very good. Although, it was busy, I never wanted for anything. There was another server who checked in on me in addition to my own. There were a few other items on the menu that looked good so a return will happen. :) read more

2nd time coming here and overall it's just a little too over priced. The sushi is good and maybe fresh? It's a little hard to tell with some of the tuna. Our food came out about 8 minutes apart which was odd but overall service was good. read more

The Sushi here is wonderful and the staff is always amazing! I have been here a number of times and always have the same result.

Came for lunch, was greeted and seated right away We started with some cold soki Tastes just like wine Waiters were friendly and helpful with our orders We had some dumplings tastes really yummy I had the pork katsu The portions size is really generous it's big enough to feed two people . I took half of it home to eat for later The price is fair too ran roughly about 18-20 for my dinner plate but again the size for the plate is worth it The pork was perfect and nice breaded crunch I had side of fired rice I submitted Since it really bro ha steamed rice And it also brings salad which is angel cabbage with a zesty sauce on top which is nice and light I plan to come back again and try other items They have A large menu and gives great variety read more

Super fast and friendly service! The sushi was the freshest and best I've had in TX in quite some time!

J SUSHI IN DENTON pictured from left to right is the gogo roll, the sunset roll, and the rattlesnake roll (no calamari this time ): ) i can attest that the sunset roll is Edo Japan quality (VERY good with or without yum yum sauce). the rattlesnake roll is good if you have an itch for something crunchy and spicy. the gogo roll was good, but the crunch didn't feel like a crunch. just felt out of character. i will go back again simply because of the service from Sam. he did not miss a beat making sure we were enjoying our experience, and that our drinks had liquid in it. read more

J Sushi - a plate of sushi and a bowl of rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Denton, Texas

Let me start with saying I'm from Hawai'i. I've been in Texas 6 months and have been hunting for poke and everything I've had is not only terrible, but also not traditional poke. It's all Americanized salad with a tiny bit of raw fish. Here we actually have a fairly accurate poke bowl. I'm not a huge fan of the dressing they used, I would have preferred shoyu or spicy [mayo] but it was not bad. The ahi (tuna) tasted kinda "fishy" which it's not supposed to but it's not too bad. The ahi is actually pretty soft, I'm not sure if it's previously frozen or not - if it's not then that would explain the fishy taste, probably due to being caught 24-48+ hours ago but again not bad. If you make this with spicy mayo it would probably mask it. Seaweed salad, and cucumbers were good. I'm glad it came with furikake. Best of all that's real crab meat. We don't even get that in Hawai'i. It's good. Not anywhere close to the best poke bowl I've had, but so far it's the best in Texas. I'll probably call and request if they could accommodate a shoyu based sauce next time instead and it'll probably be a lot better. Didn't get chopsticks though, I guess my name sounds too white LOL read more

Excellent service and the food is amazing!!!! Some of the best fresh sushi in Denton.

The food and service was amazing and really good high quality food way better 10\10 also really good amount of food they give you!

First time we ordered from here it's was ok but nothing amazing. However the last few times we ordered from J Sushi the food has been excellent. Well prepared and very fresh. My boys like the chicken fried rice and me and my wife order various sushi rolls. Every roll we have tried has been very fresh. No fishy taste etc. We have really enjoyed J Sushi. Since we recently moved across town we were hunting for a nearby sushi spot and we have been happy with the food. We order from here frequently. read more

Such a disappointment since the new owners took over. They are so stingy on the ginger when I place an Uber order. Spend $100 in sushi on 5 rolls and only get a tiny pinch of ginger. Tonight the rice was mush and the fish was bad. Wish there were more options for delivery in my area. Their sushi is hot and miss. read more

Unfortunately I am very sad to have to leave this review about just how bad the food really is at J sushi! It saddens me because we were there on opening night when it was absolutely the most incredible food you could imagine. We moved out of the area about a year after they open the doors. We happen to come back in town this evening and we're very unpleased with the quality. Hopefully things get better read more

Most underrated restaurant in the area. Have had multiple great experiences here. Service is a 10/10, chefs, 20/10. Great lighting and music. A for sure spot if you are in the town. read more

Seafood was wonderful but my order was wrong. I went in with my dad because I had a craving for sushi. I ordered a siesta key roll and a sunset roll. However, I received a siesta key roll and the avocado lover roll. This wouldn't be such a big deal but I'm not a fan of raw sushi and the avocado roll has raw salmon in it, it's a texture thing for me. Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize this until I ate half the roll. The texture of the raw fish hit my tongue and I immediately spit it out. At this point, I felt like I couldn't argue with the roll because I already ate half of it. The siesta roll on the other hand, heavenly. It was deliciously crafted and absolutely delicious. The staff quickly cleaned the table when I stopped eating then the check came out. Here is the other issue, we were charged for the siesta and sunset roll when I didn't receive the sunset. There is a price difference between the two rolls, the sunset costing more than the avocado. Again, didn't feel like I could fight it since my plate was already cleared away. It was only a few dollars difference which is why I only subtracted one star because otherwise, everything else was wonderful. The atmosphere was great, the siesta key roll incredible! My dad even loved the Spicy Tuna nachos he received saying the were absolutely delicious! I'll be going back, I'll just keep a better eye on the rolls I receive next time. read more

Not really sure why only 3.5 stars, they should've gotten more credits for the tasting food. We came in for dinner last night and had a great experience, other customers/tables around us seemed enjoying their meals as well. Overall sushi rolls were all very delicious, the noodle soup was little bit salty but still tasty. Karaage chicken was so different than Japanese karaage, but actually really yummy. Staffs were all very attentive. We had a great first time here visiting town. read more

Always great food. Great service and fresh. I recommend the atomic roll and the ahi tuna nachos!

J sushi......how do I put this lightly....J.U.S.T. sucks :( I would rather just buy my sushi at the grocery store than go back to this place. The place was cute & the bathroom was clean. The yellowtail was good but the octopus had a strange color. The beer was cold & it was tasty! That's as many good things as I can think of. The service was strange. I can't even put that into words. The sashimi was cut all wrong & the salmon skin roll was the opposite of what I ordered. I asked for a plain salmon skin roll & it appears in front of me with fake crab on it! Hua?? PRICE TAG $70. Experience priceless. J.U.S.T awful. Won't return :( read more

Okay, I'm in love with this place. I'm pretty much a weekly customer and come during my lunch break from school. Bento Boxes: SCORE, affordable and super filling with great sides, I've had the bulgogi, pork Katsudon, and chicken teriyaki, all bento boxes come with two dumplings, 4 pieces of California roll, Japanese salad, and tempura (sliced up sweet potato, onion, and 1 shrimp). I really like their tempura batter and when I don't order the bento box I like to order the assorted tempura basket. The only thing for me that they are missing is rice, the bento boxes don't come with rice, which is kinda strange cause it's weird not eating rice with chicken teriyaki, bulgogi, Katsudon... Favorite roll: Avocado lover, don't be deceived by the name but the roll not only has avocado but SALMON, there is avocado inside the roll and on top and salmon in the middle and they top it off with a soy sauce glaze, it's amazing and my go to. Service: I know a lot of the old reviews in 2013 say that service is bad and their drinks are never refilled but I've been here a ton of times and service has always been great. The waitresses always fill my drink (sometimes up to 3 times in one meal cause I'm thirsty) and never leave me hanging. Sushi: salmon and super white tuna (kinda expensive, but really yummy). Honestly the keeping me from giving them 5 stars is the fact that they don't include rice with their bento boxes, and if you want to order rice it's $2.00 a bowl. Other than that, this is my favorite sushi place in Denton! read more
