King Sushi — Restaurant in Jackson

Incredible sushi (especially rolls), cozy ambiance if you can get a table, but lackluster and curt service (more below).

This was the first time we were able to get seats despite a number of separate trips to Jackson, so we were pretty excited - the food did not disappoint and I’ll talk more about that in a second, but the service was a bummer, especially given the price point. The staff is clearly differential and much warmer to locals, which I somewhat understand, but we tried to be especially kind and patient and they were disinterested and blunt. We tried to place a to go order as we were leaving because we wanted to bring some rolls back for some family, and long story short we ended up waiting for about an extra 30 minutes, but there was a mixup and the order was never actually placed, though we had already paid for the rolls. They re-ran the check and removed the rolls we didn’t get, but us like we were an inconvenience and an offer any form of compensation. Having worked in hospitality, I would’ve handled it very differently.

That said, the food was incredible and genuinely some of the best sushi rolls I’ve ever had in my life! The Roo was incredible! The nigiri was definitely high-quality fish, and we really enjoyed the albacore tuna and the salmon as standouts. I would probably pass on the hand rolls, but the gyoza and pork belly buns were delicious. Next time (if we are so luck), would love to try the...

An absolute gem! From the moment you step inside the unique atmosphere perfectly blends elegance with a cozy, inviting vibe.

Started out with receiving a text from FOH saying our table’s going to be delayed. Got there 15 mins later than our reservation and table wasn’t ready so we agreed to sit at the bar, no big deal.

Service was pretty good all throughout.

Sushi was average to sub par. The miso soup was a tad too salty, wish it had more dashi in it (i couldn’t tell if it did have dashi). The gyoza was ok, meat tasted a bit soapy (?) and the skin was crispy all around (looks like it was deep fried vs. pan fried and one sided crispy as traditionally done). The hamachi tasted sour and metallic. The uni spoon was a terrible idea: uni + unidentified seafood + raw quail yolk (which was not disclosed in the menu), really left a bad taste in my mouth. I did not like that the salmon nigiri had lemon stuck on it, a bit of a no no for sushi. Otherwise all the sushi we had was ok, we had an assortment and overall an ok effort.

For the price point one would expect better quality of food. If sushi is your thing, I would suggest to skip it but I could imagine occasional sushi eaters may enjoy the place.

A bit iffy about this one so I couldn’t...
