| Our Review:
|
J's first restaurant opened in Xintiandi a few years back and was one of the first upscale sushi restaurants to open in Shanghai. Since then, they added a second location in Pudong's Super Brand Mall, right across the street from the Pearl TV Tower.
In the last few years many new sushi restaurants have opened in Shanghai, and a price war has erupted. That bodes well for lovers of sushi like myself. The first time I visited J's (original restaurant in Xintiandi – now closed), we paid $125 for two people. Kind of steep for Shanghai at the time, if you ask me.
And, unlike the USA, where "all you can eat sushi" is typically lower-quality sushi loaded with rice to fill you up, or pre-made sushi that goes by on a conveyor belt (ala the Sumo Sushi chain in Shanghai), there are many places like J's that give you a fixed price, but allow you to pretty much order anything on the menu. 138RMB (about US$16) gets you all the fish, meat, veggies, beer and sake you can consume in one sitting.
The only drawback here versus other very good sushi places around town is that the size of sashimi slices is a little smaller than usual. That can easily be solved by ordering more, but if I could change anything here, it would be to teach the sushi chefs to increase the size of the slices.
We didn't like the pork rice balls, though, maybe it's an acquired taste. Also, we saw horse sashimi on the menu, but since we loved Seabiscuit, we decided to take a pass on that dish.
J’s has a great menu and a funky decor, as well as a view (albeit through not so clean windows) of the Bund. Oh, and dinner and all the beer and sake you can drink for two at US$32 ain't bad, either.
