    I came back because I wanted to try the ramen. The portion size is big and they do add a lot of meat to the ramen. Is it my top ramen choice in Bakersfield, no, but I'm reviewing off my tastebuds, so I would still suggest to give it a try. I would continue to come back for the rolls. The service was ok this time around. My server didn't bring a drink I asked for and a robot delivered my food. I also had to walk up the cashier to ask for my check to pay.

    Spicy salmon roll
    Nina W.

    Wow! That was excellent, it has been awhile since I've had food this good. We loved the spicy seafood ramen! We had the spicy salmon roll and sun kissed roll as well, both had great flavor and very fresh. Our server, Mustfasa was so kind and attentive. We alway appreciate good service. The vibe was upbeat and we felt like we were out of town. 10/10

    Prime Sushi is the kind of local spot that makes you wonder if you've accidentally wandered into a love story--because honestly, I think I fell in love... with a sushi roll. And with their 50% off rolls, it's basically a buy-one-get-one-free soulmate situation. The moment the plate arrived, the sushi looked so gorgeous I considered introducing it to my parents. The fish was fresh enough to whisper sweet nothings, the rice had just the right tenderness, and every roll was crafted with the precision of a poet who also happens to be a ninja. The spicy tuna? A little flirtatious. The rainbow roll? A full-on personality. The crunchy shrimp tempura? A plot twist I didn't see coming, but am eternally grateful for. And let's talk about supporting local restaurants: Prime Sushi doesn't just serve food--they serve community magic. The staff makes you feel like you're part of the family, the kind that hands you extra soy sauce and compliments your chopstick skills even when you clearly have none. If you want a meal that feels like a rom-com starring you and a beautifully discounted sushi roll, Prime Sushi is waiting. Go support a local gem, treat yourself, and maybe--just maybe--fall in love along the wa

    Went on a Friday afternoon around 1:30/2 and dined in for their 50 percent off deal. We had the rainbow roll and dragon roll. Both were good. Service was just a bit slow. Our rolls came and we didn't have our water or beer yet and had to ask the sushi chef. The music was also bumping, like loud club music with profanity, just a bit of an energetic vibe for an afternoon lol but can't beat the price! We will be back

    I just love sushi and a good deal. Sometimes it's hard to get both!! However, Prime Sushi has had their 50% off "Grand Opening" prices, and I just say, it makes their rolls taste that much better! I do enjoy the ambiance inside the restaurant. Nothing too small, not too big. It's very clean and there is always decent seating. Service is generally friendly. There was one time when it seemed a little busier than usual and our server seemed a little annoyed, but overall still had decent service. Absolutely no complaints about the food. There isn't one roll I haven't enjoyed and the portion sizes are perfect!

    I've came here a few times and it's a great place to enjoy a variety of sushi and soju at a good price. I'm usually only a fan of sushi with mainly shrimp, but we got a variety of salmon rolls and they were all delicious! Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The only downside is that they refuse to switch the TV channels. If you ever want to stop by while a game is on this would not be the place.

    We decided to give this a try as the 50% off signature rolls was calling our name! My sushi was on the baked side but inside the sushi the spicy tuna felt raw?? I still ate it, the flavor was good but that threw me off! California roll is as expected. They only had one server and people were coming in and out so we NEVER got offered a refill on our drink. We had to constantly be trying to get her attention, not her fault but our experience.

    Teriyaki chicken
    Mandi N.

    Went for lunch on a Sunday for our first time eating here. It was very quiet and relaxing. Service was excellent and we were happy with our food. Ordered three rolls and a teriyaki chicken. Kids ordered a California roll and shrimp tempura. They were generously filled and satisfying. I ordered the rainbow roll, it was presented nicely and definitely filling. The teriyaki chicken was perfect and we went home with leftover. Glad we tried this place and will be back.

    Shrimp Tempura Roll with soy wrapper
    Tanya L.

    This was our 1st at Prime Sushi and I absolutely love this place. We went during lunch time and it wasn't busy at all. They are advertising 50%off sushi rolls. The staff were really friendly too. It was really clean and the ambiance was quiet. The rainbow roll was good and had just the right amount of portions. The only thing is that they didn't serve ginger and was I with your sushi. I'm sure you could ask for it. The Shrimp Tempura roll was one of the best I've had. I don't eat fresh seafood I have to eat it tempura style. I want to try the other tempura rolls they have and maybe one of their bento menu items. Definitely coming back.

    The service here is spectacular. Very attentive. Very friendly and accommodating. The food is actually REALLY good and has great rolls. Lively and active location for conversation. Not much bad to say here. Only issue is the 50% off special rolls. The rolls are typically 40% less elsewhere so inflating the price, then doing a discount is a bit misleading. Still a great experience!

    Spicy bulgogi ramen, very good
    Matthew C.

    A nice lunch date with the family per my daughter's suggestion. Always exciting to try out a new sushi / ramen spot. My first impression waking in was that I loved the vibe. Light music in the background, tv's at low volume, very relaxed. I was excited to try the spicy Bulgogi Ramen (keep in mind this was my first time trying ramen at a restaurant and before now the only ramen I had ever eaten was the dry bags from the grocery store ) We also ordered 3 different sushi rolls to share. The ramen: So good, I'm hooked. I'm the biggest sissy with spice so I was glad that their version of spicy was very mild. The broth was so flavorful and I also loved the texture of the noodles. The meat wasn't the best cut as it was a bit fatty and chewy, but I loved the dish overall. Fire Roll: Very good. Just what you would expect from a baked roll, warm and delicious. Honeystone: Very basic, plain. Looks great, but nothing special. Sunkist: Really enjoyed this one. Slightly sweet, very good. To drink I thought, what could go go better with sushi and ramen than a nice hot tea. Good idea, but not good. The tea had an odd smell, and the flavor was honestly tough to drink. Would not recommend. Service was good enough, but the waitress that helped us was a total mood killer. Zero enthusiasm, helpful but not friendly. My wife even commented how much she enjoyed the ramen and she didn't say a word or even crack a smile. Overall great food, but there are far too many options in town of the same cuisine to settle for unhappy service.

    Me and my amazing wife!

    Loved the food and service! Can't wait to take our adopted dad! An amazing place for a Friday afternoon wasn't too busy. Went for lunch as our nine year anniversary

    Varsenig K.

    This was our first time here, the 50% off certain rolls got us good. Super chill spot, not so busy but service was so kind and friendly. The rolls were delicious and large portions of sushi. Fish was fresh and a good variety of sushi.

    Shocking statement alert!!!! Jin has the best sushi in Bakersfield…read more 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

    Jin sushi.. your food and waited service, has absolutely hit it out of the box. BUT please read…read morethe whole review.. We shared the garlic edamame which was my absolute favorite and the best edamame I had ever tasted whatever seasonings with the generous amount of garlic was just heavenly. If you like edamame you should love this one you won't be disappointed. I could literally have a bowl of this and a couple of Stella Artois for dinner and have the best night ever. We also shared the bulgogi bento box as well as two rolls,one being the lobster roll the other one being a spicy flaming roll which of course I forgot the name of but either way the ingredients were very fresh the roles were both full of ingredients and everything in the Bento Box, the fried rice the salad & the Bulgogi was tender, all were all tasty and reminiscent of a another restaurant in Bakersfield that is usually my Bento Box go-to. JIn Sushi could absolutely be my most favorite sushi place in Bakersfield if they fix a couple of little things It's only two problems I had with this place one was the seating issue, that they created when we first walked in I had a reservation and waited 25 minutes to be seated I only knew it was an issue because I talked to the lady behind me who had a appointment 15 minutes after mine with three friends and was seated before me, the whole process seemed unorganized and the young lady running it seem to be stressed trying to get it right. The next issue was me reading the health score violations during my extra 25 minute wait and trying to avoid any of the foods that were listed. Something I probably wouldn't have seen if I didn't have to wait 25 mins. after my reservation well researching any complaints about wait times. If management gets the seating issue corrected,and place up front who will stay up front and take command of the seating, keeping track of who comes in with reservations I think this would have been a overall better experience. However we will definitely try again.
