My boyfriend and I are pretty much sushi snobs and are critics of quality, freshness, flavor, ambiance, cleanliness and attention to detail. Junmai did NOT dissapoint! Great service, friendly, quick and hospitable. This is a must try restaurant! Would DEFINITELY recommend to friends and family!!

We went with a birthday party of 7 people and had a great time! Our server was incredible, very accommodating and made excellent recommendations. The establishment was extremely clean and comfortable. And the food was all fantastic! Between the 7 of us, we probably ordered 20 different things and no one had a single complaint. Everything was delicious, fresh, and plated beautifully. Definitely recommending Junmai to family and friends.

My recent dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm ambiance and attentive service by the owner Usef. The menu offered a wide variety of sushi and sashimi.Each piece of sashimi was a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. The fish was incredibly tender and flavorful, melting in my mouth with every bite.Overall, my sushi dining experience was truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious taste of sashimi.

The sushi is creative and absolutely delicious, it was very difficult trying to decide what to get, so many great choices. The wait staff was very friendly, patient and helpful. We'll be back.

My husband and I went to Junmai for dinner with my parents, and it was awesome! We usually go for sashimi or nigiri to enjoy each fish's unique taste, but this time, we tried the rolls and dishes they recommended in addition to what we usually order when we go out for sushi. For every dish, each ingredient was of high quality and were so well put together. The toro nigiri was ????. Plus, Danny and his team provided high quality service, making our overall experience even better. This is definitely our spot whenever we're in town.

Love sitting at the bar and chatting with the sushi chef. Have a drink and dive into spicy edamame, miso and a delicious tempura or rolls.

If you're not"bro-friend" with the owners, the service is mediocre at best. The food used to be great, but has certainly fallen off, along with the service.

Have eaten here five times in less than a month. Twice by myself. Each and Everytime, the food and service have been excellent. Watching others dining confirmed to me the food is great... Happy people with smiles on their faces. Give Junmai a try. Oh, after lunch, they close from 3 pm to 5 pm.Even the dishes are beautiful.I have had the shrimp bento box (lunch with friends), salmon skin handroll, house salad (drank the dressing), garlic string beans, miso soup, and a couple of different sushi rolls. Trying more items works when going with a few people willing to share. {VBG}They also have a lot of take out orders, seems to mean a lot of people like JUNMAI.

I was happy to discover a nearby place for ramen, bento boxes, and sushi. I look forward to exploring the menu more next time. My wife and I stopped by about 5:30 on a Sunday night. The place was about half full, with plenty of seating available, very nice wait staff. My wife had the shrimp ramen and I had the spicy chicken ramen. My ramen was good, though it could have been a little spicier for my taste. My wife's shrimp ramen was very salty. The more she ate, the less she liked it. The salt was overpowering everything else in the bowl. So 5 stars for mine, 3 for hers, for an average of 4 stars. We will be back but not for the shrimp ramen.********Our next stop here was around noon for Bento Boxes. She had salmon and I had chicken. Everything in both of the boxes was excellent! Soup, salad, 4 California rolls, tempura, rice, and the meat. This is a lot of meal and, at $15 or $16, well worth the price. I am changing my review to 5 stars, based on the boxes.

The server was very attentive and interactive. He was playful and super helpful. Enjoyed our meal, the food was outstanding. The whole team was excellent. Was a little apprehensive because you never know what you're going to get a a first time visit. I am looking forward to my next visit.
