Overall the portions were large, prices reasonable, and the service was great. The leftovers a couple of days later were still fantastic!

Stopped here on the way back from a snowboard trip. Probably should have skipped it, but the kid…read morewanted sushi. Tuna was unnaturally pink and had no flavor. My Cal roll had a piece of short wispy blonde hair on it, which could have been a dog hair or the server's beard. Kid's inari seemed to have a green spot on it, but it was eaten before I could inspect it further. It didn't result in any gastro issues, but definitely sus. When we got the bill, no itemized receipt was given. The amount billed was around twice as much as we ordered. Sent the bill back and confirmed everything was double charged! They gave a cash refund for the overage and an apology. Not sure why they couldn't void the charge, but I guess I wouldn't trust them with a double swipe of the card. Lesson learned, don't get sushi inland.

Happy Mother's Day!!…read more Today for Mother's Day, we decided to celebrate with my neighbor and have the best sushi in town here at Jinme. Jinme is consistent. Delicious every single time... so tonight, we celebrated with my daughter. We sat right away and how gorgeous was it tonight!? Balloons, streamers, and Mother's Day table cloths. After a little bit, our server came over and we ordered sunomono and vegetable tempura. Their vegetable tempura was a mixture of the vegetables, in one. Like a birds nest. It came with 4 pieces and a dipping sauce. It was different, but very good. The sunomono (cucumber salad) was cut in half into thin slices without the seeds, and the dressing on it was delicate and went so good with the cucumbers. Quite a bit of time had passed and we were given some complimentary spring rolls to snack on. The sauce it came with was a little spicy & sweet. We ordered a Simba roll, Auburn City roll, 49ers Roll, the Ultimate Roll, and salmon sashimi. All looked fantastic! The sashimi came with miso (as an appetizer). We will ended up sharing everything with each other. I really like that baked salmon roll (Simba). It has a sweet mayo on top. The Salmon Sashimi is my favorite bc the salmon on top is made with high quality salmon belly. The freshness makes me crave this often. The 49ers roll was delicious. It was different from your regular sushi rolls with rice in the outside. it had an entire cucumber casing on the outside of it. The Auburn Roll has thick pieces of red rings and salmon throughout... what a dream... Lastly, we ordered moochi ice cream and deep fried strawberry ice cream... both were out of this world!! This was the first time I have ordered dessert here and it was phenomenal! Strawberry just gets me! Our service was great! The decorations were a cute touch, too. Jinme went above and beyond to make us feel special on Mother's Day!

The parking lot is pretty big, but usually pretty busy. They also have outdoor seating and seating inside their diner. I usually get their Dutch Apple Pie or their Chicken Pot Pie for my boyfriend. The pie is so yummy and filled with apples! I love how you can choose from the frozen ones or the fresh ones. I usually get a fresh one, eat a bit, and then freeze the rest. There are also some samples of their dips and granola from the last time I went. All of them tasted pretty good! This place is always a great stop while you're on the road.

My little one has allergies to soy, gluten, and shellfish and they were able to accommodate her. We ordered her the Salmon teriyaki (no teriyaki sauce and rice. She enjoyed it very much. They even made the chopstick kid friendly by wedging a wrapped up chopstick paper and a rubberband. My daughter had fun with it. We didn't order much variety so I can't confidently say if everything was fresh or previously frozen, but it was so good that I could care less. I got the Crossings roll and my wife got the Triple tuna roll. Basically the same thing, but the tuna had 3 types of tuna and the Crossings had tuna, Shrimp and Salmon. So good we ordered another Triple Tuna roll. The filipino server was awesome. Friendly, easy to approach and knowledgable about the menu. Whether you're passing through or from the area and want sushi, my wife and I enjoyed the Crossings and Triple Tuna Roll. I hope this place is here for a long time.
