So, upon further review I should have definitely explored the ramen and noodle dishes, but I was craving some sushi and Yakitori Jinbei has been bookmarked on my end for over a year, so I finally swung in on a Tuesday evening to see what was up...and while the experience was not bad in whole, I was disappointed with the sushi overall.
Location/Parking - This spot is located in the middle of it all on Cobb Parkway, sitting in the shopping center that is anchored by Goodwill. Given the shopping center, parking is not an issue.
Seating is limited, so be prepared to potentially wait as they only have about 8 tables and (4) seats at the bar. Even with the limited seating and space, they have it mapped out really well and I do appreciate the extra effort of separation between the tables! I happened in on a busy night, which is every night and ended up at the sushi bar.
Service was solid. Everyone from hostess to the waitress to the food runner were nice and helpful!
I started my meal off with, at the time I didn't know was going to be the high point, seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was fresh, crunchy, perfectly dressed and great portion! I followed this up by ordering a couple of rolls, Dynamite and Firecracker rolls. Both rolls featured a fried element and sadly, both were burnt and that took over the flavor of both rolls. Additionally, the rolls are small in size, way smaller than I expected. In those cases, I would usually get a third roll, but given the missteps of the first two...I just opted to call it a day there. I washed it all down with a Sake cocktail, the Tokyo Tonic, which was a delightful twist on my favorite Gin & Tonic!
Overall, I enjoyed my experience, but was let down by the quality of the sushi. I certainly will be back, but will be switching it up and scooping up some of these famed noodle dishes I am seeing all over Yelp! Update to this review to follow once I dive into the noods of Yakitori!
