Not bad at all. I liked almost everything. They only concern is "B" health rating. When I see it I always check what are actual violations for this restaurant listed on NYC Dept of Health site. Sometimes they are non-essential like "Plumbing not properly installed" or "Non-food contact surface improperly constructed". But in case of Jpan it says (besides other things) "Live roaches present in facility's food and/or non-food areas." I will not go back for sure until they will have rating "A". read more

I walk past Jpan all the time since living in Park Slope and I'm so happy I finally decided to try it for dinner! My friend and I came and we're overwhelmed by all the options on the menu! I finally decided to try the sushi pizza as an appetizer - salmon, tuna, and whitefish with spicy mayo and eel sauce topped with roe and green onion - was out of this world! The fish was fresh and all together the pizza was super flavorful! I also had the fire island roll - shrimp tempura, avocado, topped with spicy tuna - for my entre and it was also absolutely delicious. The service was great, super attentive, and the restaurant itself was super cute and a great dining environment. I'm so glad I finally stopped here and Jpan will definitely be my new go-to sushi place! read more

Jpan - Sushi pizza appetizer - salmon, tuna, whitefish with spicy mayo and eel sauce topped w/ roe, green onion! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here far a quick bite with friends before a movie. This place has a friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Ended up staying longer than expected because the food was pretty good. Better than most sushi places as far as freshness/flavor. Tried the tuna dumpling, it was different but good. The Kani salad is always a good pick. Surprisingly the vege tempura was exceptionally tasty. read more

Jpan - Tuna dumpling - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Inviting, intimate place. Was greeted immediately at the door by a server. Simple décor. No sushi bar seating. Had the following: Eel/Avocado roll, Spicy Salmon and Rainbow rolls. I liked all but was hoping for more flavor out of the Rainbow. My water was filled promptly throughout. Bathroom was very clean. Wasn't busy when I was here (Thurs night at 7PM), but there were quite a few regulars in and out while I was there. Their delivery driver was in an out the whole time I was there, so the local following is strong just based on that alone. So far, this is the best sushi I have had in the Park Slope/Prospect Park area. Will definitely go back to try some of the Special Rolls and follow up here. One note: The Special Roll menu lists a "SUPRISE Roll". I think they need a Spellcheck Roll right under it. read more

Sooooooo, the dinner box was a hit with the finicky S.O. I scoured YELP for places that had Pork tonkatsu for him. So he got the box, with tempura and tonkatsu and he walked out full. And happy. Me, happy with my Chirashi with extra wasabi. The warm saki wasn't that impressive, so when we go back, need to check if there are others. Enjoyed the attentive service and the smiles. The Sushi chef asked if we enjoyed, too. Soooooooo, for me a little higher priced, but very enjoyable, S.O. walked out full, and it was a nice night... read more

The sushi was pretty fresh. I had the evergreen roll which was very tasty and was big (it better be at 14 bucks), sashimi clam, squid and octopus and sushi salmon roe and sea urchin. The prices for the a la carte items were a little high, but the pieces of fish were pretty large. I found the cooked food was just so-so, but it could have been what we ordered. The shrimp on the pre fix menu was a plate of a lot of fried food. The soup was good. read more

I had high expectations of this place...and was a tad bit disappointed because our entrees took forever to come. We ordered the double tuna...which supposedly had seared tuna on it. The tuna on top of the roll tasted raw...so my poor friend couldn't eat any of it. So home it went with me. The fresh salad with the ginger sauce was perfect. Very delish. My friend had the chicken teriyaki and the portion was massive. She ate half and took the rest for lunch. My chilean sea bass was amazing...a tad bit salty but i like it that way! The entrees took forever to come tho...:( Tip-bits: Attentive staff- constant eyes on you Tables by the window Low lighting-date night appropriate Great service read more

Stopped in over the weekend for a late lunch. Decided to go with the luch special menu. I had the 2 roll special. Eel cucumber and spicy salmon served with miso soup and salad. For 2 simple rolls, the plating (presentation) was nicely done. SImply good--got my sushi fix. My friend had the beef udon. It was a thumbs up! The soup was perfect--not too salty, not too bland. Paired up nicely with the udon, beef slices and mixed veggies. His order also came with a side salad. The decor of this place is pretty cool. They had stenciled designs in various colors on the walls. Service here was friendly too. Definitely will be back to try the special rolls. read more

Jpan was a great dinner experience! Hurray for the attentive waitress. She refilled my hot green tea regularly. Hurray for the roomy seating. We sat in the back garden area and weren't disturbed by the conversation at neighboring tables. DOUBLE hurray for the Fire Island Roll. It is a *genius* house special of shrimp tempura & avocado, wrapped in sticky rice and topped with spicy tuna. The fish overall is merely acceptable/okay, but I was impressed by how affordable our meal was. The preparation was high quality and they have a wide selection of items, including more hot/cooked items for the anti-raw or pro-Teriyaki, Tempura, and Udon crowd. Fair warning: while the restroom is clean and accessible, it is also a one-person and dimly lit unisex situation. I wouldn't give Jpan five stars, like my beloved Ten, but my bf said they make the best Beef Negimaki he's ever had. read more

I order vegetable yaki udon from here every other week and it's always delicious! Very robust flavor and the customer service over the phone is very nice. read more

Let's just say this is one of the best additions to 5th Avenue in a long while. It was opened by a Yamato workerbee, and deserves neighborhood notoriety. And if Saturday night's crowd was any proof, the Slope is finally getting it. If you're a discriminating fan of sushi and love Taro on Dean Street but don't want to walk that far for fear of not getting a table, try JPan for its creative appetizers and perhaps the freshest product anywhere along our local strip. JPan does things most restaurants don't, such as feature their truly best and freshest offerings in the daily specials menu. (I've worked in sushi and other Asian restaurants before, and like most food establishments, they'll try to sell off their oldest product - in lieu of throwing it away - by highlighting it for customers who don't know any better.) Standouts include a yuzu drizzle, with an essence literally brought in from Japan. The concentrated citron fruit is whisked with a toasted sesame oil, turning into something so delightful that you can't help but lick your plate one finger at a time when all the fish is gone (ask which sashimi they're serving it with that day). The sweet kimchi mounded with a generous portion of perfectly seared white tuna sashimi and tobiko garnish couldn't be recreated either, although I would dare them to try. Tell management that you're in the mood for something unforgettable, and watch him bring you an app that will blow your mind and set your date up for a night s/he won't forget...at the cost of a lousy Starbucks venti frozen mocha latte. Seriously. Allow good sushi, as it should, be the temporary cure for your tired relationship, or the foreplay your first date needs if your nervous conversation is getting you nowhere, fast. I say this as a longtime fan of Kiku (the original South Slope takeout location and North Slope restaurant), occasional patron of overpriced Blue Ribbon Sushi (even the service is really too pretentious for the area, but they have the best saki menu east of Manhattan), and one who is loathe to step foot into impostor Nana just a few blocks north. And this opinion takes into account the sushi restaurants above 2nd Street along 5th Avenue - nothing seems to come close in comparison. read more

Always very good, amazing atmosphere great service been coming for 7 years can't go wrong. Traveling from the city just to enjoy the fusion taste and great sushi ! read more

See all

Typically I am a big fan of Jpan. Fish is usually fresh and I enjoy the rolls. The other day was different story. I ordered a roll and asked for raw tuna instead of tempura salmon. I got home and I had tempura tuna. Yikes. Called Jpan and let them know that my order was wrong and they offered to fix a new roll. Ok fine; however they decided to serve last weeks tuna which was gray in color and difficult to chew through. Such a disappointment when I come here all the time and never have any issues. Word to the wise, don't ask them to correct their mistakes. I wasted my money and my time walking back since it was inedible. read more

Since moving to NY I've been searching for a solid Japanese restaurant with bento boxes at reasonable prices yet high quality. Jpan is exactly what I've been looking for. Super fresh fish, and tasty comfort food favorites like udon and teriyaki. The lunch combos are awesome and so affordable. I've eaten in and have had takeout. Both have stellar service. Highly recommend Jpan! read more

Jpan's got beautiful, japanese inspired (go figure!) decor and bright window seats that often draw me in. The staff is very polite and attentive and its a pleasure to sit and eat inside the restaurant. The sushi isn't terribly expensive, particularly if you go for their lunch specials, but I find it lacks a certain flair. The rolls are fairly standard. I'm neither blown away by the simplicity of amazingly done sashimi nor wow-ed by fancy, stuffed to the gills maki creations. Just decent, standard sushi. Most of the rolls I've ordered there could really benefit from the use of some sauce, so I'd suggest asking for spicy mayo or eel sauce etc (I'm sure they charge you for it, but can't recall) if you're ordering a roll that you'd typically expect to be sauced. Even commonly sauced rolls, like sweet potato tempura, are served dry here. read more

My favorite sushi lunch special place!! The quality at those prices are an absolute steal. Definitely get the chirashi, which has about 9 pieces of assorted fish. The rice is nicely seasoned and is even topped with shredded imitation crab meat and egg! A very nice touch and looks great too! Yum!! Another plus is that I've eaten here a bunch of times before, and I think the quality has actually improved! Great news and a very welcome change from the many places that decline in quality as time goes on. read more

We wound up here one night after Hubby refused to return to our go-to, the sit-down Kiku on 7th Avenue, declaring both their sushi and ambience, "too cold." We haven't looked back; in fact, the sweet couple who seemingly owns the place, has remembered us since that very first visit. And yes, the ambience is cozier, and the room temperature fish, more appealing to Hubby. Anyway, I am the first to admit I am no sushi connoisseur so if you are, you should probably stop reading. But if you're looking for a casual spot to get a simple, fresh sushi fix, this place will do just fine: As others have mentioned, the Monkey Roll is awesome, so we always get one of those and then try another roll or two. We often also get Sashimi and recently tried the Tempura, which included 2 nice, plump shrimp (shrimps?). Definitely recommend. I sometimes wish they'd expand on their Roll selection. Even with the specials, there is often not enough that jumps out at me. But overall, am happy to call this my regular spot. read more

Great lunch specials. Whenever I am in the mood for a close Japanese cuisine, I would come here. There bento boxs are very fulfilling. They add all the right vegetables in the meat. The sauce with the chicken or fish is excellent. I love their phoenix roll. The other roll I had, I forgot the name was okay, didn't have any crunch. However, the sushi roll overall is great. Also, I think adding fruits to sushi is a great idea. It makes it tastier and refreshing. For dinner it is great as well. Service is always good and prompt. Although the waiters can get a little excessive with the water pouring, sometimes service is a a bit too much. Lol, but I guess that's okay. However, the green tea refill is fine with me. The more green tea the better. read more

Ideally, I would give give this place a 3.5 Don't get me wrong, I've had better, but for delivery/take-out, Jpan was pretty good. The food took awhile to arrive (we live in Carroll Gardens), but the soup and the Chicken Katsu hit the spot. read more

My ultimate favorite Japanese restaurant thus far. The area is small but clean and not crowded. The wait staff is attentive. The sashimi is fresh and the dishes is really creative! The size of the order is really big for the price. I love the spicy king crab salad. It arrives looking small but the dish is deep and there are tons of fresh leafy greens thats enough as an entree. I tried almost everything on the menu and everything is delicious!! read more

If you're an avid follower, you'll note that I've eaten a TON of sushi recently. It's always been my fave but for whatever reason, it's been the go-to cuisine of everyone I know. Basically, this place is amazing. I didn't believe my non-foodie friend when she told us we HAD to order certain items but I may start relying on her wisdom since she made such amazing suggestions the other night ;) We started with the green salad which was fresh, not small and very refreshing. Then we shared the eggplant with spicy mayo and seafood on top. This was amazing. Just typing this is making my mouth water. I should have ordered one for myself and called it dinner. But we didn't. We ate a lot more. And were stuffed. We picked the Jpan roll which was pure fish without rice and very cool. The spider roll; Duet Roll - spicy tuna & salmon with avocado; yellowtail jalepeno (very spicy, beware);White Sand Roll - salmon crab stick & avocado topped with spicy crunchy white tuna & scallion; and another I cannot recall but which was equally amazing. The rolls were very big. Normally 2 rolls/person is insufficient but with the other stuff, it was too much. We even took some home for lunch the next day. The service was great and the place had a steady influx of patrons during the hours we sat, ate and enjoyed our meal! read more

I am not thrilled with sushi. So whenever I try a different restaurant for sushi I look for food with clean flavors but no fishy aftertastes. The California rolls were very fishy & I could not eat them. read more

Fantastic sushi, really great service, whether you are a couple on a date or a family out for dinner Jpan is fantastic on all counts. I've been a great fan of their $8 sushi lunch special - which they go so far as to deliver!! Two rolls, soup and salad for $8 - amazing. Their special rolls are something I cannot find elsewhere - try the Surprise - spicy tuna with grilled banana, has wowed every person I've ever introduced to it. Also a huge fan of the Jpan roll - which is hard to explain - all types of fish, mango, wrapped in rice paper - no rice - with a yummy sauce! This one is big you will def want to share it. Same goes for my new fav the Lovely roll which is spicy tuna, covered with scallop, lobter salad and cavier. OMG OMG so good. Haven't eaten really anything but the sushi at Jpan, it is too good to pass up. Go there right away and leave the mediocre place you've been dining at behind. read more

My previous review read something like this: I have nothing but good things to say about Jpan! It's reasonably priced, serves high quality rolls with fish that's clearly safe and fresh, and has excellent customer service. Here's my re-write: Jpan just got a "B" sanitary rating, and I understand why. After ordering many times from Jpan, my boyfriend and ordered our normal rolls and nigiri as takeout. The first bite we both took, we each knew something was wrong. The fish was so sour, and the roll itself so terrible that I ran back down to Jpan to ask the staff what happened. They gave us a different roll (which was still pretty funk) and did not apologize. Jpan used to be our go-to sushi place in Park Slope, but we're crossed it off our list for good. If you want safe, fresh fish, look elsewhere. read more

I come here for the lunch special. I like this place because the restaurant spacious and I never have to wait on the weekends during prime time, allowing me to sleep in. Basically, the bento box is $8.50 and you're guaranteed to be stuffed afterwards. I like the salmon teriyaki and the chicken skewers. I would avoid the beef teriyaki, as the beef is not the best quality. The only thing is I don't know why the chef put the rice far away from the entree in the bento box, making it an awkward experience for me to eat it. If you want rolls instead, I recommend the phoenix roll, which has cranberries on top and a yummy sauce. For dessert, they have great green tea tempura ice cream for $5. I also like their hot tea that they serve for free. Service here is good. Not overly attentive, but they are quick to get what I need. Overall, a great lunch deal without the wait. read more

I had an unfortunate experience with JPAN delivery tonight. We ordered Chicken Katsu (with rice), Chicken Udon, and Edamame. 90 minutes later we got cold food. The Katsu was mushy. They did not provide any rice or noodles with the Katsu. The Udon was luke warm. The Edamame was pretty good. Maybe their sushi is better and quicker, but this was the most disappointing meal I've had delivered in the neighborhood. Too many good options to try again. read more

My husband and I have been coming to J'pan almost every Saturday night for the past six months and I have to say the food is very good for the price. The sushi is always fresh and we've never gotten a bad meal. My husband prefers the specialty rolls, Jpan Roll in particular, but I've recently been ordering the simple sushi or sashimi pieces (sometimes the specialty rolls are too much (stuff) for me!) Everything is always good and tasty. Tonight we also had the Rock Shrimp and Kimchee White Tuna appetizers and they were both delicious. Not only that but the hostess is the best! She not only knows what we like to drink (large hot sake...usually) but also gave us a free bottle of sake as a gift/something extra for being a loyal customer! Happy New Year J'Pan! See you in 2018. read more

Easily my favorite sushi restaurant in Park Slope. I order in from Jpan several times a month, and occasionally travel to the restaurant. Delivery is always prompt and the the sushi is always fresh. For $15, you can get the spicy roll dinner entree which gives you 3 rolls, and a soup/salad option. It's a lot of food, but completely worth it given the price. I haven't tried their cooked food, but when it comes to sushi, Jpan is always my first choice in Park Slope. If you ever go there, I'd suggest you check out the Lovely Roll or the Fire Island Roll. read more

I am surprised that Jpan has so many positive reviews. I went once for dinner 3 or 4 years ago and thought it was sub-par. My husband and I went for lunch today and were very under-whelmed. The sushi fish did not seem to be very high grade and the rolls were poorly put together i.e.falling apart. The only thing good I can say about Jpan is that the waiter Edward was very nice. read more

This is the BEST SUSHI in Brooklyn! Great quality + great portions. But, the nicest part is the staff. They are not pushy and make you feel at home. Joanne is the SWEETEST. She remembers your order every time. Not to miss: Crab Miso Tuna Dumpling Chicken Yakitori Salt & Pepper Shrimp Spider Roll Beef Negimaki Fried Ice Cream read more

I love this place! It's awesome! Tuna Dumpling!!! If that was the only thing that they served I would still give them 5 stars. The Tuna Dumpling is that good. I've only been here twice but enjoyed myself both times. Being drunk off sake and beer definitely helped. But even without the alcohol food goggles I would still love the food. Their $25 Three Course meal is definitely the way to go. It's so much food. Last time I ordered this, I was stuffed by the time my entree came. Luckily one of my friends is basically a vacuum so the food didn't go to waste. I cannot stress this enough. If you go there you need to get the Tuna Dumpling. It's a must!!!!! read more

This is my go to place for sushi. And by "go to" I mean I order here probably once every week and a half. Their cranberry avocado salad with raspberry dressing is perfectly sweet and healthy. Their sashimi and sushi is always fresh, so you can never go wrong. Fresh food and fast delivery makes this my #1 sushi place! read more

If you're in a bind JPan will do. The sushi is a bit below average but the calamari is what saves this place in my mind. The chili sauce that comes with the calamari is delish. I mean when Fairways a grocery store has better sushi then a sushi restaurant, man c'mon. Upside, you can order here really late and delivery will be at your door within minutes. read more

I have moved into my new apartment and since jpan is literally downstairs this could be very dangerous for me and my unborn babies which (you know the whole mercury/lead/fish issue I am NOT expecting-repeat I am not expecting mom if you are reading this calm down...) The decor is kind of nobu meets lotus. Eel/Avocado roll-excellent one of the best I have ever had Crunchy Salmon Roll-salmon good but not particularly spicy Fire Island Roll-good but the tuna on the outside was ever so slightly off. Good lunch deal and many other choices. The staff is attentive and kind. My only issue would be the music I like to dip my rolls in soy sauce in relative quite not to the thump of technoesque Asian music. I will be ordering in-I will be back to jpan because since the dollar sucks right now this is about as close to japan as I will get. read more

After hearing about this place a couple of times, my friend and I decided to give it a try yesterday (sometime in June)...And of course I was not completely sober...I blame it on the World Cup!!! But anyway, we popped in there around 10 pm and I must say that the decor was pretty nice...a very sedate feeling. My friend got the 3 course for $25 meal and I should've done that as it looked really good...he got the king crab salad which looked like a bunch of mesculin greens with a glob of king crab and Japanese mayo enveloped in slices of avocado...in fact avocado must have been the theme for tonight because everything seemed to artfully covered or hidden in it! A second salmony avocado covered concoction with flakes and a bunch of sauces came out and he devoured that ending the his tour with the sashimi set. I, being inebriated and silly, decided to try some random rolls and went on the suggestion of the wattress and started out with some rice paper, mango, tuna, and salmon sashimi concoction. ..When it came out, I was thoroughly confused because it looked like someone threw up a bunch of American-inspired Japanese sushi sauces onto a plate and then threw some salmon and tuna sashimi slices around....I have no idea what to call this or what I ate but since it wasn't that cheap, I gulped it down....it wasn't awful per say but it wasn't the austere culinary beauty that one would typically find in sushi....even in most american-inspired sushi. I think I finished the round with the ebi roll (shrimp tempura) and the Fire Island Rolls which were very good. The fish tasted, surprisingly, fresh. read more

J-Pan is pretty great. I wouldn't say it's of the same caliber as some other high priced sushi spots in New York, but it's definitely good for most occasions. I haven't had anything here that was especially exotic, but the freshness and quality of what you get is very good. The sushi boat, oh the sushi boat....it's gigantic...no, TITANIC. (ok, bad joke) You really get a lot of fish for your dollars with the sushi boat. However, I still find myself going a la carte to get more of the things that I really want...in addition to the boat. JPan is definitely a solid contender as one of my most frequented sushi spots in all of New York. Also, the bald Chinese waiter dude is AWESOME. read more

I love Jpan. I used to live right next door and went there at least once a week, when I wasn't lost and eating off food trucks. So many yummy things to eat that it almost makes up for all those wasted childhood years running with street gangs. Anyhoo, go to Jpan. You won't regret it. read more

Jpan - an A is very hard to get for a sushi joint. congrats! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I usually order from Yamato, but I wanted to try something new. I had the dinner box, which had A LOT of food: seaweed salad, miso, noodles (or rice), shu mai, and two choices. I had the shrimp teriyaki (oddly bland, no soy, mirin, and sugar glaze) and the spicy tuna roll (good, and a generous portion). My girlfriend had the spicy seafood miso (delicious) and the BBQ squid (also good, a bit chewy, huge portion). Wish I could give an additional half star based on her order. read more
