★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Liss G. · Feb 2026

Inside is very nice and the staff were kind, professional and overall wonderful. These aren't my issues. The food cost-wise is definitely on the higher end, and for the taste and portion size, wasn't worth it to me. I got the Twin Dragon Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll. I did obviously eat some of it. Both were lacking in flavor and relied on sauce, which a side of you had to pay extra for. Not the worst experience, and I'm sure others have had better. I'm also happy to support small businesses, but there are other places in the area that are cheaper with bigger portion sizes.

★★★★★ 5.0 Food of CT · Nov 2025

It’s rare to find a new restaurant that nails their service and food right out of the gate, but J1 delivered! This little spot was only in their first week when we went, but their team of ensured a seamless opening, and it was impressive to see. The menu was full of fresh sushi with creative rolls, as well as Japanese, Chinese, and Thai dishes to choose from. We loved the ambiance here, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder! Truly a gem that Monroe is very lucky to have!

★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher Flaxman · Mar 2026

The food was delicious! Soft warm rice and crispy Katsu Chicken (Japanese Fried Chicken). We ordered a Sashimi Appetizer and they arranged it like an adorable Easter basket. Service was very friendly! A great place for lunch or dinner!

★★★★★ 5.0 Jake O’Meara · Dec 2025

This was our first time trying J1 Sushi, and we were impressed! The place has a cozy, really nice vibe that makes it a great spot for dinner. The service was awesome, and the staff were so kind and welcoming. We started with the pork gyoza, spicy edamame, and crab rangoon, all of which were amazing. For our main dishes, we had the spicy crab roll, teriyaki chicken, General Tso’s chicken, sesame chicken, and hibachi noodles, and everything was a solid 10/10. We’ll definitely be returning to try more from the menu and can’t wait to come back again!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mark Chandler · Nov 2025

This is a GREAT addition to Monroe. Inside is gorgeous, staff is great and the sushi is probably the best I have had in Monroe or Trumbull. Glad to have them and we can’t wait to go back.
