We are in Jinyas last night and we are so surprise about the quality of food is poor. The employees which are two younger females gave us a bad service. The sushi and ceviche had an aftertaste. They use a lot of salt. I didnt see those waitress from the past which are so respectuful and smiling boys.

I visit Jinya's at least once a month and it is my favorite place to have sushi and other great plates with a Puerto Rican twist. I love to have the tuna with tostones as an appetizer or even as a main course. The rolls are spectacular and the service is always great.

Me and my family are sushi fanatics. We even do our own sushi at home. We have tried almost every sushi joint around the metropolitan area ans Jinyas is simply the best. Dont miss luch special. Best priced bento box! 9.99. Fried rice included! Your choice of sushi and protein. It includes fried banana and spring roll!!

Jinya came to PR a long time ago and rooted here. Master sushi maker, freshest seafood, local traditional Puerto Rican flavors integrated into rolls! Nice eclectic tones on menu. Our favorite sushi place in PR!

I visit this restaurant almost every week, sometimes 2 times a week. There is no place that I know in Puerto Rico and other places that serves a better quality of fish that chef Jinya Igarashi does. It is just amazing the quality of the products served and quantity on the plates too. Chef Jinya Igarashi(Jimmy) will not try to... More

You need a car or cab to get here, it's in a dicey neighborhood. Inside was clean but smelled like disinfectant. Owner's wife was very sweet, owner/sushi chef kept giving us the hairy eyeball (don't know why). It was a little pricey, we over-ordered (which we do all the time) because we wanted to taste as many things as possible.... More

I love Jinya's, we are regular custumers, the combinations are superb and the freshness of the food is great, All the staff is very nice, the place is low key and that makes it much better since you can go nicely dress or in jeans. My husband and I are kind of addicted to Jimmy's food. If you go you... More

We have been going to Jinya´s consistently for the past two years. They have the best tuna avocado salad, pegao rolls, and sushi in general. Do not go for the decor - there is none - but go for the good food with the freshest ingredients!
