The Sushi By Jin

From my Yelp review ... photos over there as well. This is a new place. This used to be a location called Masa Sushi. Other than the building it is all new. I don't often give five stars. Five stars to a sushi place, especially to an all you can eat sushi place, is rare for me. I went here with other folks two times in one week. Yes, it was that good. Let me start by saying that you can get sushi and shashimi by the order. You do not have to opt for the AYCE option. The spider roll (soft shell crab roll) was a bit substandard compared to Cho Cho San. There is that cream cheese crab mixture that folks put in California rolls that has no place in a spider roll. Then again, perhaps it is the chef's take on how these should be done. I don't agree. The spicy tuna hand roll is one of my tests of a sushi place. Again, maybe not my take on things. Not spicy enough and a little bland in any case. But ... I hold with my five star rating because ..... Possibly the best shrimp tempura I have ever eaten. HUGE pieces of very fresh fish on very small portions of rice. I don't know if any of my photos show this but generally the fish size of a piece of sushi can be wrapped around the rice from the top to the bottom of the rice, lengthwise. Very fast. They have a way of slicing the fish on the fly so the chef has it ready to blast sushi out very fast. Presentation - lovely. Look at the photos I posted of some of the chef specials (that were not even requested but given to us as a treat). The Oysters and mussels were fresh and spectacular in taste and presentation. The prices are right in line with most places (about half of what they are in Downtown L.A. at the trendy hipster places) and actually a bargain when you see the size of the fish on a piece of sushi. Bottom line ... this is our new goto place when a sushi fix is indicated.

SUSHI BY GIN - AT LAUREL CANYON AND OXNARD IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD IS DEFINITELY A MUST PLACE TO VISIT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN AMAZING PLACE TO GET ALL THE PREMIUM ROLLS THAT YOU WANT..!!! THE PRICE POINT IS AMAZING AND YOU WONT GO BROKE! I love this place for reals ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This spot offers superb service as well as delightful meals. One of the best place around here. The meals arrived fast and the prices were affordable. Recommended.

I adore this spot! They give splendid food, their menu is large, The chef in that spot is well trained, I love a lot tasting all their food. The dishes are consistently good, the service towards the customers is friendly. I often eat in this restaurant and I was never unhappy. I recommend it with no hesitation.

Great sushi great place. Not a fancy place if that's what you are looking for, very casual. Prices are bit high but it is worth it. Another thing that I noticed is that it is ran by younger guys which I thought it was cool. Also I loved the No rice rolls. Parking is very limited as it is located on a corner street. Highly recommended.
