Javelin

: : Javelin exceeded expectations. Went with a group and from start to finish everything was great. The service was attentive and welcoming, and the food was outstanding. The fish was incredibly fresh — you can immediately tell they take quality seriously. Every appetizer we ordered was spot-on, clean flavors, beautifully presented, and as fresh as it gets. The sushi and specialty dishes were top-tier, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care. Great atmosphere for a group dinner and an overall excellent dining experience. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend. OTS.

Local sushi spot that has been rebranded and revitalized into a more modern trendy restaurant. Prices have gone up and there is a bar that serves fairly good cocktails. The matcha cocktail is great without being overly sweet. The miso soup is suprisingly great here without being overly salty. The sushi rolls were decent, dragon roll tasted mediocre for the price. Sushi rice tasted a bit bland. The calamari was not over battered which is good but the portion size is small, compared to similar restaurants. The lowest point was the Miso black cod. Very small portion, majority just vegetables and rice with barely any flavor on the cod, which was dry. The sashimi platter saved the dinner. The lunch special is not a terrible deal but nothing to run over for. The sushi rolls for lunch were he

Javelin is a new sushi restaurant in Fairmount serving up some fantastic food at fair prices! The interior is quaint and casual. We came on a very cold day and it was pretty cold in there too. Just a fair warning you may want to bring layers! We started with the berry blossom drink and miso soup. The drink was sweet and tart, the taste was on point. However, there was so much ice in the cup. It was filled to the top. I only took about 4 to 5 sips before it was completely done. The miso soup was a bit of a letdown, the rich umami flavor was missing. It almost seemed like the stock was watered down. On to the showstoppers - s*x on a beach roll, pan seared black cod and rock shrimp. All three dishes left us saying wow. The sushi roll had a flavor of textures that worked so perfectly togeth

We've stopped by a few weeks after the rebrand, and it seemed like they were still working out the kinks. The sushi was.. okay. HOWEVER we've been back 3-4 times since then and it's been five stars every time. The staff are extremely nice, knowledgeable, and personable. The sushi tasted generous and fresh. Super flavorful and satisfying. The drinks are pretty great. One criticism would be that I would advise against the strawberry matcha-- there's no visible strawberries and it's incredibly thickly saccharine.. not something you'd expect from a matcha drink. Despite that one flaw, everything else has been excellent. The decor is very charming and lovely for a dinner date in the neighborhood.

I love that oat milk is the standard for the mocktails here. Also, I’ve never seen a salmon tempura roll. This place will for sure be my go to sushi spot with friends and my wife moving forward. Thanks for the great food and great service.
