Spicy rainbow roll and spicy poki roll
Destiny T.

Me and my husband come here every week! There's some good sushi places here in Bakersfield but Jin sushi downtown is hands down the best, the service is usually on point, the fresh rolls are my favorite! My husband loves the baked and tempura rolls. The sushi always taste fresh and the sauces are amazingly delicious. We usually order to go and the food comes out within 10 to 15 minutes of ordering. They always provide list of condiments and chop sticks which is a huge plus because most places won't give them unless you ask. Jin will forever be our go to sushi spot.

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

One of my favorite sushi places in town. The food and service is 10/10. Love the vibe there too!

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
Ton H.

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

Absolutely love Jin! Whether I'm Downtown or at the Allen location, food is always delicious. Customer service is always great, always my go-to for sushi!

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 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.

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!

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!

Monster lobster my Fav!!!
Robyn L.

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.

The place only had a few people there, it was around 5:45. We were promptly seated at a stable for 2. The sever was absolutely awesome young man. Asked for our drinks and gave us time to review all of the sushi choices. After finally remembering the roll thanks to a phone a friend we placed our order. One of my now favorites is a Green Pinky. It is a Salmon sushi roll with a temper salmon in the center. It comes with a lightly spice sauce on the plate. We also ordered a sweet and sour roll which was a first for us. It was really good. Lastly we got the ex-girlfriend. This has been one of regular go ordered roll. The sushi only too a few minutes to arrive and was super fresh, the server checked on us several times to make sure everything was ok and we wanted another roll. We were in and out with ease to make our concert. Highly recommend the Green Pinky!!! It is outstanding. Also add a little of fresh wasabi to the top. Not need for soy. The fresh wasabi adds a little nose clearing kick with a great combined flavor. We have door dash at home and me at work and have never been disappointed. See you next 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.

These are fried octopus balls with a delicate crispy shell and a creamy interior with perfectly cooked octopus. They are garnished with kewpie mayonnaise and eel sauce with delicate shaved fish dancing on top. This is the only place in town for takoyaki and it is exactly like takoyaki in Japan. This time we opted for the salmon rolls which have pillow soft steamed buns, perfectly cooked moist salmon, eel sauce, and sweet slivered carrot. They are light and delicious with an order of two making a wonderful appetizer for the both of us. My husband ordered the Bulgoji bowl with savory and tender beef atop sticky rice. It is beautifully seasoned and not spicy which I love because I can actually enjoy it. In general bulgoji is too spicy for me so this is a wonderful discovery. My choice of chicken Ramen was also a win as the broth is rich and savory and the noodles have a great firm bite. The bowl is dressed with rich and tender chicken thigh, a fish cake, broccoli, spring onion, slivered carrot, and a marinated soft boiled egg. Food and service are phenomenal...Hon Ramen is THE place to go in Bakersfield. The sushi here is also top notch and prepared by the owner. Once a year he returns to Japan to visit family so for that period sushi is not available. Everything we have ever tried here has been a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds.

I remember when they first made their way…read moreto Bakersfield, I was excited because when we moved out of Delano we would still drive back to visit their old family owned restaurant. Mama Lynn makes the best food ever! I think her cooking definitely plays a big part of my childhood and the reason why I love Chinese food, I always compare any other Chinese food to hers and hers always wins. I'm not gonna lie, I do miss the Ming location and the drive thru, but I get it... this new location looks a lot nicer and Maui Pho was not meant to be a drive thru restaurant since their restaurant isn't a fast food restaurant. I recently celebrated my birthday here and there was 9 of us and Maui Pho was able to take care of a big party. The restaurant inside is really nice, super clean and I absolutely love everything on the menu. I don't think I have eaten anything here that I did not like. They have combos if you're dining by yourself or if you're with friends/family and eating separately or they have family style items also. If you haven't come to visit their new location yet then you need to check it out. There's no issues with parking like when they were on Ming. If you're in a rush I wouldn't recommend this place because this is not a fast food restaurant, but if you do have time then please come because it's super delicious and worth the dine in experience.

I enjoy this Asian fusion restaurant because it has so many different options! When you look at the menu, you'll notice it has quite a variety to choose from. I really enjoyed their coconut shrimp that came with a side of macaroni salad and white rice. Make sure you're dunking your coconut shrimp in that sauce! It was tangy and delicious.
