Why did I come here? Bad reviews. Yes, really. Call me strange but I was intrigued by reports of rudeness. I wanted to see what was happening. So, I ate here alone once. Then a 2nd time, then a 3rd time. And a few days ago, a fourth time, with a friend. EVERY TIME.... everyone here was so nice. Each person there was sweet, friendly, courteous and helpful. So... keep in mind, sometimes people can be jerks to restaurant workers, and when they are, and they encounter a worker who's had enough and isn't standing for it, unfortunately the restaurant is the one who endures a negative, and possibly unfair, review.
My friend by the way says all sushi tastes pretty much the same to her. Ok. Fair enough. And even SHE noted with grateful surprise that this sushi at Sushi Jae stood out as surprisingly good. I agree. The rice and fish were the right temp (not refrigerator cold) and tender, fresh and beautiful. Oh man.
I like the low sodium soy sauce option (which to me just tastes so much better) and the ice cold Asahi beer.
So why 3 stars for Atmosphere? Not a criticism. It's just a very basic environment. I don't need flowers and fish tanks. I like the low, ambient lighting. I got the Sushi Combo (I think?). It was like 29 bucks. Salad and soup included.
Would I change anything ? Yeah. I'd do away with the masks. One pretty girl wasn't wearing one, thank G-d. And I think the entrance to the store could be brighter and more stylish. I honestly think it's an easy place to drive past. Either way, I so look forward to going back.
Pros : The waiters were very attentive. Place was clean and well decorated on the inside. Sushi options were unique. They had average sized rolls. Everything we ordered was pretty good; chicken karaage, dragon roll, Kay special, and something Paradise.
Cons : outside wicker walls make the place looks a bit sketchy but the inside is pretty nice. They kept the AC right at the point that it didn't feel hot but it was not cool. Eel on the dragon felt a bit skimped but the eel was soft and the dragon did taste good.
The standard of sushi at Jae's is always top notch. Every time I want good sushi, I head here.
The food was amazing! I ordered the Croquettes and the Raiders Roll. The croquettes were delicious! Crispy outside and soft yummy inside. The Raiders Roll was amazing too! The spicy crab was spicier than I expected, but it was still sooo good! My partner ordered a Chicken Donburi and a California Roll and I had a bit of those too and they were great!
Seriously my favorite sushi restaurant. The food is so delicious and the staff is super friendly. They always remember my daughter and I. They even remember what she likes to order. The sushi chef always greets us and thanks us as we leave. Very clean and comfortable atmosphere.
Everything's so delicious! Very friendly! Will definitely be back!
Real Wasabi (for an extra $2 but worth it)! Super friendly staff (you'll be called sir or mam), beautifully crafted sashimi, tasty yakitori, udon, kid friendly spot. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
Truly delicious! We were in the area and just stopped by and it was so good and reasonably priced. We got a few sushi rolls and the ramen was so good
The sushi roll is decent. Will be our go-to sushi restaurant 😊
Sushi Jae is my go-to sushi spot whenever I'm looking for something local, fresh, and tasty! Not only is their sushi presented beautifully, but there's also a wide range of options so you never get bored. I am a huge fan of the Oshinko rolls, which taste great if you are a fan of sour or more tangy flavors. The mochi, in matcha, mango, and vanilla flavors, is always a nice dessert as well.
They do a great job with takeout and dine-in (pre-pandemic) and I hope to be back in-person once everything gets better :) Give it a try and you'll be sure to come back for some more!!
