Returning customer... As always, I never walk away from their AYCE lunch without a grin on my face and a content belly. Miso soup, pot stickers and tempura jalapeño with cream cheese for starters (almost worth the cost of admission alone) Then some dynamite rolls (all you can eat) Finishing up with Mochi Ice Cream. All included in the lunch all you can eat spread. The staff are VERY attentive to your needs, and are super friendly and able to answer any questions about their rolls. I'll continue to keep going back. read more

I'm really disappointed to be writing this because my husband and I have always enjoyed supporting this business especially during Covid. Unfortunately, our experience today was not a good one. The service started off friendly, but things quickly changed when we mentioned that we didn't like one of the rolls (wasn't even edible). We were doing the all-you-can-eat option (and paying dinner pricing during lunchtime for the rolls we selected), so we were surprised by how the situation was handled. Instead of working with us, we were told they couldn't take the roll back because they would "lose money," and that we would be charged extra for it if they were to replace the roll. That response felt frustrating and unnecessary, especially given the circumstances. I get times are hard with money/ prices but where is the customer service in a response like that??? Not to mention the food didn't seem fresh all around; muscles were tough and rubbery. Praying I don't get sick. We ended up paying over $70 for very little food since we left without finishing, which made it even more disappointing. We understand businesses have policies, but the way this was handled didn't feel customer-focused at all. Customer service is HUGE!! Sadly, this experience has made us reconsider coming back. Their TIP I left was a note that said "Customer service is EVERYTHING" because really... it is!!! Do better read more

Went there at 8:40pm told us they were closed. They should probably close at 8 if they want to be on the road by 9pm. Every restaurant I've ever worked or owned we SAT till 9pm. Otherwise people don't know what is ok time to walk thru the door. We made lemonade...Wound up getting decent sushi at Safeway next door and ate in the car. If you are w the right person you don't need to pay an extra 50.00 for ambiance with an attitude. read more

We were running errands early on Mothers' Day and stopped in just when they opened at 11:00. Our regular breakfast places all were busy so we skipped those. We ordered the all U can eat since most items we wanted were chosen via a menu anyway. We eat a lot usually. read more

We don't make it over to this side of Sparks often, but both times we've been to JJ Sushi, it's been phenomenal service and great flavors. This most recent time the restaurant was pretty full, but they sat us quickly and got straight to our drink order. The staff are always incredibly friendly and answer questions, make suggestions, and are quick to get our order out to us. It's a small spot, so they fill up quick, but the flavors are always on point. read more

Honest dine-in review: Make sure to sit at the bar to get the best experience of all you can eat: 5/5 One of the best things Reno has to offer is the "all you can eat" experience, because it really is.... All you can eat! You can't go wrong with a full staff experience where you have a team of chefs preparing your meals in front of you dare I say? Flawlessly? We watched as training was going on for customer service, table side manners, and just attention to detail in the preparation, the presentation, and the timeliness of dinner time rush. -Appetizers: 5/5 My picks for you if I had to choose 3 would be: Yakitan, gyoza, and mussels they are dishes that will get you ready for the freshness of your dish. Made to order. They're savory and fatty to the bite and swallow to help you prepare for the rice you're about to inhale. Between a sweet, savory bite from the gyoza and yakitan. You're then followed up by a sea forward spicy rich and almost creamy texture from the mussels. Absolutely delicious! Ngiri/Makki: 5/5 Look, it's hard to find fresh off the boat fish in Nevada. So it's an art to say that when you bite these cuts, you're getting a premium bite. Paired with some rich and intricate recipes. You've got a bite that your adventurous sushi lovers are going to love. My top 3 out of 7 recommendations for the night go as follows: pink lady, the war, and JJ's #2 The pink lady is so pleasing with its chili sauce, but if it's not for you the war compliments it just dashingly as it's similar in context with out the sweet chili sauce. For creativity of the taste buds, you've got the JJ's #2 to really round out the palette with its avocado creaminess and spicy ending! As a person who was previously allergic to avocado. It was a pleasure to have it at the restaurant and get the full experience. It was such a great way to be introduced to something that once made me sick, and now I've grown to love and appreciate! Give JJ's a try if you're in the area, my 5 star should be an indication of the art and craft you'll find with this establishment. Thank you read more

By far the worst sushi I have ever had in reno. I have been eating sushi for as long as I remember. And no place has ever given me as bad as of an experience that I received at JJs. 1. Like other reviews say, this place overpacks rolls and nigiri with rice. I was astonished at how much rice was included in each piece. The ratio was about 90/10 rice to sushi. 2.When the female host was confronted about this issue she immediately became very defensive, causing a scene to unfold for about 10-15 people to watch. We told her we were dissatisfied with the food, to which she had no real resolve. This situation probably lasted about 10 minutes of back and forth arguing with absolutely 0 resolve. We ended up paying for what we ordered with plans to dispute the charge. 3. The hothead chef with the stud ear rings and the asian tattoo on his neck was absolutely out of his mind. telling us to come back and "use his knife" multiple times, and making comments when we weren't even engaged in conversation with him. Keep in mind this guy was also confused when we asked for "belly cut" yellowtail- He knows absolutely nothing about the craft and would not stop mouthing off. The fact they allow this kind of disrespect to be shown over customers giving feedback about their food, that they are paying for is a slap in the face to the public and any sushi connoisseur. Go to someplace where you will be treated right. I recommend tokyo sushi, and ohana sushi. For context- the photo of rice on the plate is HALF of what was given with each piece of nigiri. We had to split it in half in order to eat it. read more

Best sushi spot in Sparks. Rolls are the perfect size, and the menu has a great selection. It's a little hidden gem for good sushi.

Food was standard nothing spectacular. The rice is quite mushy and they put so much rice almost too much in rolls, if you're a texture person this may be an issue for you as it was for me. Also I was un aware there was mayonnaise on almost every roll which was not appetizing. As far as the service it was okay, had to ask for refills along with napkins but other than that. All I have to say about this place. read more

Walked in on a Friday evening for dinner since I have been craving sushi and wanted to go somewhere close. They were really busy, but our table of 2 was seated quickly. The restaurant was small, but there is an option for table or bar seating. We got a table seat and opted for all you can eat. The price was $32.99 for dinner. For appetizers, we got mussels, seaweed salad, miso soup, and gyoza. The seaweed salad, gyoza, and miso soup was good and standard across most sushi places. The mussels were really good, but they limit two orders per person. We usually go for nigiri and a few long rolls. The fish was fresh, but the ratio for fish to rice in the nigiri was way off. There is too much rice for the amount of fish. If they removed 1/3 of the rice for each piece, it would have been perfect. I see they might be adding more rice to get you to feel full faster and they can save on the fish. The rolls we got were JJ, rainbow, and black tiger. Not very memorable to me. They give you the typical wasabi and ginger. The wasabi was spicy which I love! There were only two pieces of ginger and it was a good palate cleanser so we asked for more. The service here is great. All the servers helped each other and on top of collecting dirty plates since the tables are very small. They provide you with the papers to mark your order and are quick to bring you your appetizers. This was a good experience, but the ratio of rice and fish in the nigiri turned me off and I do not like how they limit orders on the popular appetizers especially for the price. They can accommodate larger parties, but they only have 1 table for groups larger than 4. Hopefully they will adjust the ratio of rice to fish in the nigiri and I will come back in the future. read more

Resturaunt was clean but the service was lacking on smiles upon entry. Food was just bland and all the rolls had similar taste. Nothing really popped. If paying for all you can eat, it should be all you can eat but they limit you only 2 orders of mussels per person? Way too much rice on the nigiri. Almost if they want you to fill up fast‍. Well, if that is the case, it worked! I dont usually frequent this place because there are much better sushi spots in town but didn't feel like going far so decided to give it another shot. Would I go again? Probably not. Sorry for the bad reveiw but just giving an honest opinion. read more

I have not been here in awhile, craving sushi and this place is close to home. I probably will not be back. The service wasn't great. I didn't feel welcomed.

They had zero issue substituting the things he couldn't have for things he could, which he really appreciated. read more

JJ Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

The service was excellent from the servers to the chefs. The place looks typical with enough seating at the bar, which is great for people who prefer to sit at the bar like my family does, and ample table seating for those who don't. All the chefs are very mindful and pay attention to your requests. My family does not particularly like any sauce on our sushi and they have consistently made sure to either ask us if we wanted a particular sauce like sriracha or ponzu. Very pleased with the service when we go there. The only downside is that they use a lot of rice. I mean, a lot! They do have a wide selection of sushi, and their raw fish is always fresh for every time we went there. So no complaints when it comes to freshness. It's just that there's more rice than fish that you get full right away. Gone there 3 times and would be willing to go back again if I'm in the Sparks area. I wonder if they're willing to accommodate that f I request for a lot less rice? With the awesome accommodating chefs they have, they just might. I'll ask the next time I go and will update for sure. read more

Best sushi restaurant in town! Food and flavors are so good. Jessie and Joe are always amazing as well and make you feel welcomed. My go-to sushi spot. No one compares. I recommend trying the killer if you like spice. I prefer it with no torch. But recommend you try it the way they designed it. The knight is also a great roll. The mango island is delicious as well. You really can't go wrong here. The Yakiton is a must try appetizer. Great atmosphere for a date night. It can get busy and be a little noisy because it's small but it has never bothered me. read more

Came by Saturday afternoon for some AYCE. We normally frequent another sushi place but we're in the area. The fried lemon one is DELICIOUS even though I am a raw sushi fan. I eat it paired with salmon nigiri. The salmon nigiri was delicious and fresh. I love that they immediately include lemon as that is how it is done! The other rolls were great! There was not one that we didn't like. The bite sizes could have been a bit smaller or with a little less rice. The service was great and quick. The servers were fast with taking our AYCE sushi forms and appetizers followed quickly. We were checked on enough and drinks were refilled when about halfway. The place had plenty of seating and we were seated quickly but was filling up fast! I do recommend going before the lunch rush as it seemed to have faster service than with everyone else. read more

It had been a while since I had sushi, especially JJ's. I am so glad we were able to make it for dinner. We walked in before the rush on a Sunday night and we received all of our rolls and nigri very quickly and oh so delicious. We have always sat at tables when we visited, but the last two times we sat at the bar. The employees are busy making counter and table. No matter how busy they are able to get rolls out FAST. We always do a usual and try a new roll; we are never disappointed! read more

This place should be called JJs rice shop. They served me tiny slices of salmon atop mounds of rice. When called out on their excessive rice, they charged me extra for "waste." After one order in all you can eat, I asked to have my part of the bill back out. I offered to pay half for their rice. The owner, Jessie, thought it was funny and we have a big and loud argument in the middle of dinner. Look at their reviews, many complain about the rice and their attitude. Save your money and waistline, go to Ohana or Tokyo. This place is terrible. read more

Cozy and clean sushi restaurant in a convenient location. Server was highly attentive before the lunch rush, but it appeared he was the only one working and it did get pretty busy around 2 so the service did slow. Did two AYCE lunches for about $27 per person and ordered mussels, salmon nigiri, four rolls, and miso. We ordered a strawberry mochi (enjoyed) and an orange with plum wine (did not enjoy) for dessert. The sushi was really good so I will definitely be coming back to try some different rolls and the green tea ice cream. read more

JJ Sushi - 3 long rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Came here for the first time after work tonight for dinner. I really don't know how they got 4 stars as an average. First off, mussels were served warm/cold. Seaweed salad had a distinct fishy taste. Cucumber salad was old. We did not continue to eat it. My wife ordered the yakiton and it was dead cold to the touch, so we returned it and did not order another one. We let them know it was cold and you can hear a couple ppl yell at one of the guys about it. Im assuming it's the guy that got yelled at was the one who didn't heat the food up correctly and I can just see him smiling. Not something I would be happy about. Already a bad start! Now the rolls. The sashimi was decent. I was worried it was going to have a fishy taste since the cucumber salad did. But it did not. The only thing was the ratio of rice to the size fish was not good. I had huge balls of rice to thin, small slices of fish. Typically it should be the other way around. This was honestly the only thing I was happy with was the taste, not the ratio. We ordered a few long rolls. Rolls had lots of rice. I had to ask the chef to make sure not to overload it with rice. Taste was mediocre, nothing had a WOW factor. Inside is clean and the service was polite. For me to go back, they gotta do more than just decent service. The food has to match. Unfortunately, my expectations due to the current yelp rating they have, was totally was deceiving. If I could rate 1-10, 10 being best, this place is a 4.5, short of average. We will not come back here. read more

I've been coming to JJ's for years. It's one of the best places in the Reno-Sparks area for sushi. The staff are always attentive and friendly. They have a few large TVs if you want to watch sports games too. The yakiton is a must order and the vanilla ice cream is good too; it's not rock solid ice cream like other places. I highly recommend! read more

The service at JJ's was perfect. Everyone was kind and attentive. We never really waited for anything but it wasn't overbearing either. They just always popped up when needed. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side with a few tables and mostly bar seating The food also came out very quickly each order. The part that missed for me, was the ratio of rice was on the generous side. Even my tempura jalapeño was more rice than jalapeño. We also had rolls where the rice was very different. In the first round of rolls the rice was a bit dry while in another it seemed more fresh. The roll selection itself nearly all includes tempura, Kani, crystal shrimp, and/or creamcheese. I don't think I would recommend this restaurant for people who love raw rolls. That said, the food was tasty (besides the older rice rolls) and the staff was great. This place would be perfect for someone wanting to get into sushi or for someone who doesn't like raw rolls so much. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet, I go there all the time. JJ's is a small sushi bar in the Safeway shopping center on Vista.

Jessie always visits with us and the conversation is genuine. The sushi is always good, as well. Recently, we found new rolls on the menu so we had to sample them. No surprise, they were dang good. read more

They do have some sushi rolls separated into a dinner menu only, but most rolls are on the all you can eat lunch menu. They have a big variety. And you can get hand and long rolls. Fish is fresh and rice is nicely seasoned. The speeding is so delicious. They torch the salmon on top. Yum yum. Their Donald duck, mickey, and goofy nigiri are fabulously made. They are perfect.
