“10/10!! Everything freshly made. Currently my fav sushi spot in Berwyn”
“1st time trying it and I’m mind blown! Super delish, super fresh, super tasty!”
“Impressive sushi and Asian fusion experience. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The presentation was excellent, and the menu had a great balance of classic sushi options and creative fusion dishes. A special thank you to Chef Jason for making the experience even better. You can tell he takes pride in his craft, and it showed in every bite. Great food, great service, and definitely a place I would recommend.”
“Sushi Junki is truly a hidden gem and lives up to diamond standards! The atmosphere is so elegant with modern cozy decor and ambient lighting , you can hear classical music playing in the background it truly feels amazing. Always so organized and extremely clean. As you walk in the waitress is highly energetic with such kindness and excellent customer service skills , she is highly attentive of your needs always asking if there is anything she can help you with, always refilling your water or refilling beverages and cleaning off any plates from the table. She always has a smile and is so respectful she truly is inviting of everyone’s presence , this energy and environment is RARE to find in restaurants. The menu has a great variety of Asian dishes , I personally always ask for the appetizer sampler and try different sushi and rice dishes they’re always yummy! They even have a nice cozy bar for those who enjoy liquor. The bathrooms are always CLEAN. This place deserves the five stars and I hope it always stays this way. Truly give it a try over China town sushi spots this place is so much faster and has great quality.”
“My girlfriend and I come here regularly when we are in the mood for Asian food, the food is great and the atmosphere is perfect for date night. The service is always amazing and since we are regulars we get recognized when we come in which is always nice 🙂 The only comment I would like to make is that it’s a little bit on the pricey side but is perfect for a once in awhile occasion. Definitely a hidden gem in Berwyn versus going all the way to Chinatown and we will continue to come here to satisfy our cravings 😋”
“Sooo, I was this close to skipping this place because of the lack of reviews, but hey, I like living on the edge. Walked in—got greeted ✅. Sat down — water appeared ✅. Asked for drinks and food right after? Double ✅ The server was juggling tables like a pro, but she still made it over the second we put our menus down. Respect. Now, let me be real, I was a little freaked out after doom-scrolling through the bad reviews. You know, the ones about_____ so naturally, I checked the seats, even under the table and happy to report: no creepy crawlies in sight.😮💨 All in all, solid experience. Would def come back 🫶🏼”
“What a great surprise. Great atmosphere and dining room set up adjacent to the sushi bar. The Ramen was excellent as well as the hand rolled sushi and green tea service. Highly recommend for any meal of the day.”
“The food is fantastic and the service kind! My wife and I have been enjoying a variety of Asian foods with consistent quality at Junki (rather an unfortunate name). For me, sushi is the main attraction. The variety, quality, and presentation has been consistently delightful. The salads are well dressed, the soups condimented perfectly, and the fish always tasty. For example, Saba or mackerel as nigiri or in roll seems to me that the chef has carefully cured and prepare the fish as shushi. The server we have had, a mid-age Asian-looking lady (sorry I did not asked for her name) has always been patient and very attentive to our needs at the table. Lunch is a good time to taste dishes from various regions in Asia at a reasonable price. Dinner has been a time for us to enjoy quality of food with families and friends. I do not recommend ordering food to take out, which you have to do through J Wok, the store next door. The food and service have discouraged our business at each experience we had with them. I encourage you to try Sushi Junki, which provides quality of food, great service, in a down to earth setting. Such businesses improve community life and we need to keep them around. Enjoy a culinary tour of Asian cooking!”
“Wether you want a quick bite, lunch or a date, this is your spot. Service is great and the food is delicious. I’ve had sushi, the Chinese entrées and THE RAMEN!! THE Ramen is amazing, it will cure a hangover or COVID lol.”
“First time trying this spot and I really liked it. Got the spicy salmon, spicy shrimp, and Philadelphia roll all were delicious. Also took shrimp fried rice to go and it was really good. Nice cozy place about 15 tables. The waitress was by herself but handled everything great very friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back to try more rolls.”
