Jin Sho - Palo Alto

Only if you eat sushi then its 4.5 but not for the price we paid. Probably not gonna recommend it to anyone. Extremely overpriced and it took us 40 mins to get the food. Not worth the $75 per person price tag. the long wait the mediocre sushi bar service atmosphere. Gotta pay extra $4 for a tiny bowl of side miso soup (the same thing you can normally get it for free anywhere else for a set menu) Tempura I would give 1.5 (seemed like they used the old frying oil came out too brown and the batter was very thick and hard. Not Japanese tempura style at all) soba 1.5 nothing special. I can make the same one at home. Yaki udon 1 (nothing Japanese. Just stir fried noodle) Disappointed.

We ordered six dishes but only got five (didn't get the sashimi combo). They still charged us for it but I didn't notice until later because someone else used their credit card. The place was overall pretty inattentive. We had to ask for the check multiple times after waiting a while. I am not surprised they forgot the sashimi. But why did we get charged for it? For such a pricy place, they should be more careful. Charging for food you didn't serve is not acceptable. I'm not giving one star because the rest was edible but this is a big disappointment.

Ordered Sashimi salad with edamame and were made the way I liked it. Outdoor dining was quaint and nothing super spectacular but the place was packed with smiling patrons.

Legit sushi but the serving time should be optimized because nigiri order came about 15min. apart.

The indoor dining environment is small and due to the COVID some tables are used for blocked front side space. There are dish sets, to-go boxes materials on those tables so it looks messy. After ordering, we wait for around 30 mins to get dishes served. The tuna here is good but other types of Sashimi and sushi are just ok. With the price level, I feel not so worthy. Sushi Tomi is better.
