    First time at JaBistro My partner and I love Japanese food , and found the quality and freshness of the fish unparalleled anywhere in the city. The pre- seasoned dishes were something new for us, and have to say the Chefs were spot on, extremely flavourful, beautifully presented For starters we had the blue fin tuna belly and scallop hand rolls , both well done and a nice start For mains we ordered the tiger shrimp and scallop rolls which were seasoned to perfection and perhaps best Tiger shrimp we have had. Well done. We are not dessert fans so skipped this but the pannacotta and sorbet looked very good and well presented. Our server Sophia was very attentive and accommodating. Overall i rate this restaurant a 4.3/5 , I would rate higher if there was more selection.

    We come back to Jabistro every year for our anniversary. The food is delicious, and the service is fantastic. They paid attention to every small detail, and we even got a 'Happy Anniversary' dessert. We will return next year!

    I had the omakase tasting menu with my boyfriend for his birthday. Everything was amazing! Food was amazing, sushi was so fresh and you get really nice fish options for a good price. We also added on the wagyu carpaccio and aburi hotate which were delicious. Our waitress was highly attentive and so sweet.

    Consistent quality, low key environment, wonderful and careful hosts. Always happy to come here to enjoy a great night. I love it when I don’t have do search for a waiter every time I need something

    Our server Sophie was fantastic. We did the omakase, but weren’t overly impressed. Be prepared to sit very closely to the next table and be able to hear their entire convo. :)

    A good experience overall. I wouldn’t say it’s mindblowingly good, but the food was decent and the service was very nice. I love the ambiance too.
