Food was amazing! The waitress recommended the eel hand roll and it was our favorite. Every dish was delicious and full of flavors. The drinks were very good as well. They gave us a free edamame appetizer for having to wait but it was all well worth it. Very cozy and intimate setting. Best seafood and sushi I’ve had in the city. Highly recommend.

Food is great, decent value for good cuts of sushi. We don’t drink so no help there. Service was good, server seemed newer, but they’re usually pretty on point

Extraordinary dining experience. Everything we had was sublime. I especially loved the Onigiri. A must-have! Definitely splurge and get the toro. Unbelievably good! Our server was a doll: cheerful, fun, attentive And she knew her stuff

Every experience we’ve had at Gi-Jin in the last year has been so good! This one was no exception, we had never been on a Tuesday night though and the slower pace of the week was really nice! As always, Reagan was an absolute delight to see (she wasn’t our server this time but she always takes care of us when she sees us) MK was so nice to see as well, love talking to her about food (of course) We had Nimra as our server this time and just loved her! She was attentive and a pleasure to talk to throughout the night. These girls really know how to make people feel special! Gi-Jin is still our favorite restaurant in the city, the service is amazing and the food equally as good. Forever my favorite place to get uni and all our other nigiri cravings.

Food and service was great!! Too bad the table beside us had a bright light on and their phones out through most of our dinner so that kinda ruined the ambiance!
