    Came for lunch with a friend and enjoyed their lunch specials! $25 for a specialty roll and regular roll Both were delicious the salmon roll and Mexican roll! Service was fast and friendly and was ready to meet the lunch time rush which I appreciated

    I have been a regular customer to Jin's Southwest location. I decided to check out their downtown location for lunch. This place is much bigger, dark tone, black wall, black table, black chairs, with nice accents. I was greeted right away, and the lunch was on the table before I could blink. I ordered the mango roll and volcano roll. The mango roll with sweet with sweet sauce, a very nice clean and fruity surprise. The volcano roll turn out to be a show stopper. They set the whole thing on fire, and you eat when the fire die out. When I opened the foil, a delicious and slightly spicy aroma hit me in the face. The roll was warm and delicious from the fire. I am very impressed with both rolls. I need to go back and try the dinner menu soon.

    Deep fried ice cream

    Shocking statement alert!!!! Jin has the best sushi in Bakersfield. Had the calamari, spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, scallop nigiri. The fish was so fresh and high quality. Bonus was the deep fried ice cream. The batter had a good flavor and texture. You would be pleasantly surprised. Also have a good happy hour although it ends early

    Salmon Crunch Roll

    What is not to love about Jin Sushi??? The ambiance is totally date ready! The service is spectacular and the food and drinks are a total Main character energy! Honestly, the entire sushi selection is incredible there is something for everyone, whether it's raw or fried they have what you need! As for the happy hour it's Monday -Friday from 2pm- 5pm so much goodness at such a low price it almost feels illegal!

    Date night win. My wife and I came in craving sushi, and this spot delivered. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect vibes to unwind and actually enjoy the moment. Our server, Davy, was awesome: super attentive, friendly, and on point the whole time without hovering. The sushi was amazing as always. We ordered a variety of rolls, plus a fresh garden salad, and everything came out looking great and tasting even better. Clean flavors, solid portions, no misses. We topped it off with a couple of cold ones, which just sealed the deal. Overall, great food, great service, and a chill setting. This is definitely one of our go-to spots when the sushi craving hits.

    We were so happy we got to try Jin Sushi! We went in on a Friday night and only waited like 20 minutes for a table - which was not that bad for as busy as this place was! We were sat and they took our drink order and brought out the drinks (hot tea was yummy). The server was awesome with helping us with our questions and balancing all their other tables. We put in the order and the food was delivered so fast! It was all so so good and you could tell it was so so fresh. I was very happy to be able to try this place and we've even ordered in from them too, my husband likes them so much. Can't wait to be back to try some more!

    We headed to Jin to celebrate our anniversary. Arriving on a Wednesday night, there were several other patrons there but we didn't have to wait at all to be seated. The menu has plenty of options for every palate. The portions were good size, flavor was good and everything tasted fresh and we left with full bellies. The staff was very attentive and there was the game on tv but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. It was very enjoyable and we look forward to our next visit.

    Came here for a quick bite to eat and it did not disappoint. The hostess got us seated right away, get us waters and even had a to go cup with a lid for my son. We ordered gyoza, avocado roll, salmon crunch roll, Greenlight roll and creamy salmon roll. Everything was absolutely delicious. We were very happy.

    Baked Scallop
    Lanze A.

    Jin sushi is a good staple Bakersfield spot. The bentos have large servings and the rolls are dependable. Hard to judge americanized sushi places cause I think they all generally taste the same. Ordered the teriyaki beef bento. Great amount, complete meal indeed. (6) piece California roll is hefty along with everything else. Had a scallop roll too and there's also a great amount of scallops. Did not need to eat dinner after a lunch that big. Solid choice!

    Fatty Tuna (Toro), Blue Fin Tuna, tuna nigiri
    Jen C.

    I came on a Friday evening with my partner for dinner before the Bill Burr comedy show. It was very crowded and the servers were super busy. The inside was very lively and festive with all the decorations. We were seated after 20-30 minutes. We ordered the volcano, blazing dragon, toro tuna, blue fin tuna, and regular tuna nigiri. The blazing dragon was my favorite of the baked rolls. But, the toro was the star of the show. It was super flavorful and melted in my mouth. Overall, we had a great experience and I'll be back for more toro!

One thing I noticed was the mix of different tables and chairs throughout the restaurant. It almost feels like a hodgepodge of furniture, but somehow it works and fits the contemporary vibe rather than feeling out of place. The food was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We received our food surprisingly fast, which was a nice bonus. There was a mistake with one of our rolls, but the staff handled it well. They quickly remade the roll and brought us a replacement at no charge, which I really appreciated. One of the highlights was a custom roll with jalapeño, avocado, and asparagus. I added cream cheese and had it deep fried, and it honestly tasted like a sushi version of a jalapeño popper. It was absolutely amazing and something I would order again in a heartbeat. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. Good food, good service, reasonable prices, and a unique atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving Kuma Sushi a try.

The parking is a bit of a challenge right now due to the construction in downtown. However, there is a lot right next to them that you can park in and there is also parking on the street directly in front of their door. The restaurant is modern and decorated in Asian theme. The bathroom and the restaurant is very clean. And the staff was very attentive, professional, and very pleasant. I enjoyed the food I ordered via DoorDash, but this time I got it fresh right out of the kitchen and the counter, and it was amazing. We started with the jalapeño bomb, and mixed tempura in a size small. Both those appetizers were delicious and perfect for sharing. Then we ordered a California roll on soy paper, the Kuma special sushi roll, and the creamy salmon roll. Everything was fresh and very shareable. We could've easily shared our meal with two other people needless to say we had leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to going back. There are other things on the menu such as fried rice, udon, and teriyaki plates. They also had a couple of desserts, so I am definitely planning on trying one of those. Enjoy!

We had dinner here and it was both of our first-time. I really hate that I have to give this place a 4 but it's because the spicy edamame was not to my liking and they do not carry pineapple soju. The food is definitely a must try, especially the beautiful yellowtail sashimi. The seafood yakisoba was so delicious. I did not care much for the baked salmon roll, Love Sushi takes first place for that roll and Prime Sushi take first place for spicy edamame. The crazy tuna roll I ordered was so big! The crunchy pieces on top can stand to sit in some absorbing paper towels because they were a bit oily but went well with the Tuna dance. I personally did not care for the bluefin tuna. Overall my babe and I enjoyed our dinner and will most definitely return for more.
