I expected the food to be delicious but no, the cook fried rice was too salty and oily, my friend and I ordered medium rare steak but the cook cooked it not well, the taste was salty . The first 2 margaritas were very good with salt on the rim of the glass but the last 2 had no salt on the rim and the taste was more sour than the first 2😖 It made me very disappointed because we drove 1 hour there and 1 hour back with bad taste of food. I want to tell the owner that your food tastes salty. If you can reduce the soy sauce a bit, it would be good.

I only gave you 2 stars for my service, sorry, this is the truth.

Second time visiting this place and I have to say that it is okay. This time I got the filet mignon and scallops. The scallops disappointed, they lacked flavor. The meat was tender and flavorful, the fried rice was delicious but the veggies were overcooked.

Absolutely love Jurins. Food is always fresh, sushi, garlic shrimp and sake are delicious

I recently the restaurant with my family, and unfortunately, I left feeling a bit disappointed.The overall experience didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Atmosphere:
The seating was quite cramped, with tables placed too close together, which made the space feel congested. The exhaust system seemed to be doing the bare minimum, so it was uncomfortably warm and smoky throughout the meal. Given that hibachi dining usually involves cooking at the table, I expected a bit more ventilation for a more pleasant atmosphere.

Service:
We were there for lunch and wanted to share a lunch combo, but there was clear miscommunication between the waitress and the chef. Fried rice, soup, salad, and noodles were served first, but when it came time for the meat/protein, there was confusion. Eventually, the waitress informed us that they no longer allow sharing and that we could simply take from each other if we wished.

If this was the case, it would have been helpful if she had mentioned it earlier.
Additionally, there was no usual hibachi show or interaction—something I had been looking forward to. The chef merely made a smiley face to begin cooking.

Food:
On a positive note, the food tasted good. I really enjoyed the soup and fried rice. However, given the lack of show and interaction, the food alone couldn’t fully redeem the experience.

Overall:
While the food was tasty, the cramped seating, lack of coordination between the staff, and absence of the typical hibachi experience made for a less enjoyable visit. Overall, I would rate this experience 2.5/5

Hibachi is amazing! I can't speak to their sushi, but it does look like a nice sushi bar, and I've heard good things. I would recommend reservations on weekend evenings. It can be a small space when crowded but doesn't take away from the experience. I'm super excited you can now have it delivered! Best around for sure!

JuRin undoubtedly serves the best fried rice. It's an excellent place to take your family, especially with young children, so they can enjoy the hibachi show.

Fillet and Lobster was excellent! I also enjoyed the rice and veggies! Not very familiar with Hibachi style but found the food great and a fun time for all!! Had a great experience! Will be back next year for my birthday

If you are in the craving for some good sushi 🍱 I highly recommend Jurin Sushi Teppan.

They have a cool bar right next to the entrance. The staff is super friendly they immediately seat you if you decide to eat by the sushi bar. There’s a huge hibachi area but make sure you call ahead if you need to make reservations to sit at the hibachi area.

Each plate was scrumptious. I completely forgot most of their proper names…but more reason for you to check it out for yourself. 🤤🧠 The sushi was so good I got lost within my senses.

The waiter was really inventive 😎 and friendly always making sure our drinks were topped and checking to see if we were good. 👍 You are also able to make requests for sushi if you want something different other than the conveyor sushi belt 🍣.

If your looking for a new sushi restaurant make a trip to the Jurin and satisfy that sushi craving. I left almost popping out of my kidney donation stitches from eating so much delicious sushi. 😜

Also be sure to take a moment to look up at the beautiful sky as your enjoying your sushi. Thank you to the staff of Jurin. ☁️🤓
