JU-Sushi

Don't underestimate this little restaurant because of it's size. I can promise you that you will be satisfied with anything you try. I have been ordering to gif or years when they were even smaller at their other location.

Their small menu ensures quality is delivered with every bite. On this pick up I was in a hurry but will take extra pictures next time. I can say I have always been very happy with everything I've tried.

The owner is so energetic and funny I love to come in and chat with him when I can. He cheers me up all the time. Perfect service no matter how busy he is.

Besides ordering to go they do have sitting area inside with a few tables and a nice outdoor table too.

Parking is limited but you can always park at BigY parking lot if necessary and walk down. However I have never had to do this.

Enjoy!

OMAKASE! OMAKASE! OMAKASE!

Ask Mr. Ju when he can host you and your small party for omakase. It is an amazing experience for sushi lovers and it's really fun to see a chef just doing what he loves. Think of it as your own private sushi party with a fancy and unique selection of seafood. It's a TON of food and a lot of fun so it's well worth price. We had 7 very different very delicious courses. The employees are very kind and personable. The restaurant is cute in a cozy/comfortable way. Don't let it's humble appearance and styrofoam plates scare you away! The sushi is really fresh and delicious plus the omakase includes hot food and dessert too. The omakase experience really blew me away. I highly recommend for your party of 5-10 people! My favorite was the toro or monkfish liver but the unagi rice bowl was a big crowd pleaser as well.

Mr. Ju is one of the sweetest chefs I have met. He is a very talented sushi chef and was super kind enough to have 7 of us make a reservation to do Omakase. I would call in advance to make a reservation with 6-12 people, so that Mr. Ju has time to order all the ingredients for the Omakase. It was like having our own private chef making dishes for us, and we were very full by plate number 3 or 4. He was very generous with the price for the huge amount and super high quality of food he made us. The fish was very fresh and sliced very nicely. I was so full at the end, I couldn't do anything afterwards. My favorites were the toro, monkfish liver, the seafood soup, and the ikura (salmon roe) sushi. Even the dessert course was very delicious! I definitely will come back here the next time I visit Groton.

The food is very affordable, it has a fresh taste, and the service was nice.
Always order ahead they are ALWAYS busy!

Edit: I have returned to try the nigiri. And I can now confirm that this is the best sushi spot in Groton and New London. Don't go to Sushi Kawa, don't go to Kyoto Steakhouse. This is it. Eating the nigiri allows one to truly taste the fish as it is not covered by sauces like spicy mayo or doused in soy sauce. The fish freshness here is better than all the sushi places around here; no competition.

Good sushi. The rice was soft and at a good temperature. The quality of fish in the rolls was not bad. They have both traditional simple rolls and more americanized ones. I have eaten at many sushi restaurants/omakases in NY and Philly. And I can say that this place is not bad at all. It is definitely the best sushi you can get in Groton. I wouldn't go anywhere else for sushi around the area than here. Will be returning to try the nigiri.

I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the reviews posted on here, I'm glad I went with my gut. The quality of the food was amazing, as was the portion size. My bill totaled $55 but it was worth every penny. Someone wrote on the wall, "Best Sushi In CT", and they couldn't have been more right. I'm from out of town and will definitely be stopping here on my next trip to Groton. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who wants high quality sushi, served by friendly staff. No place is perfect, but this place comes extremely close. I only wish that they had hot green tea.

Anything you order here is superb. I constantly find myself a lot more than I should because I have a hard time choosing less options. Never disappointed by the service or the delicious Sushi.

I love the laid back experience every time we go to this place. We have sat down and enjoyed a meal here and have taken food home plenty of times. All our meals have been delicious and satisfying!!! We will continue to be patrons and recommend this place as our favourite sushi spot.

As an area sushi place, they've gone from wow to ehh pretty quickly. Most of the sushi rolls are basically a Cali roll with some additional toppings. Most likely because of the price increase thanks to inflation. The staff is friendly enough and the sushi IS still a go-to for a sushi night. The miso soup could be better but really it's a solid place and remains on our list of go-to places.

My man Ju!!! Best sushi in the area! I'm a bit of a sashimi snob. Ju slices them the perfect thickness. That knife must be razor sharp. One of the beat things about the Sashimi Regular Box is that you get a portion of Sishi rice on the side. It is the rice that makes good sushi. This rice is very good. It is comparable to sone omakase restaurants I have been to at a fraction of the price. The futo maki was also very good. I have tried futo maki in other places and use my grandma's futo maki as a yardstick and this comes the closest. If you want good sushi in Southeast CT give Ju's a try. Don't be fooled by the exterior. There is sushi magic on the inside.

Ojisan Ju's sushi is OISHII!!!!
