Question 1

Can I sit at the sushi bar at Jinbeh?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both Jinbeh locations have full sushi bar seating where you can watch our sushi chefs work and order directly from them. Sushi bar seats are popular for solo diners, couples, sushi-focused meals, and guests who want a quieter alternative to the hibachi tables. The full menu is available at the sushi bar, sushi, hibachi entrées, ramen, sake, and the full bar, so you do not have to limit yourself to just sushi. Sushi bar seats are first-come or reservable through OpenTable. They are often easier to get than hibachi tables on busy weekend nights. Sit at the bar, ask the sushi chef what is fresh that day, and pair with a glass of sake or Japanese whisky.

Question 2

Does Jinbeh have sushi?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Jinbeh has a full sushi program at both Frisco and Lewisville locations, with daily fresh fish, classic nigiri, sashimi, hand rolls, traditional rolls, and specialty rolls developed over decades. Many guests come to Jinbeh just for sushi without ordering hibachi at all. Sit at the sushi bar to watch our sushi chefs work, or order sushi at any dining table. Popular options include salmon nigiri, tuna sashimi, the Jinbeh roll, rainbow roll, dragon roll, and seasonal specials. Sushi is available for lunch, dinner, and takeout (through Grubhub, Uber Eats, or direct call orders). Vegetarian sushi options include cucumber, avocado, and vegetable rolls.

Question 3

Does Jinbeh offer omakase?

Accepted Answer

Jinbeh does not offer a formal published omakase menu, but our sushi chefs can build a custom chef's-choice tasting experience at the sushi bar for guests who request it. Sit at the sushi bar, tell the chef you would like them to choose for you (chef's selection, chef's choice, or 'omakase' all work), set a budget range or piece count, and let them work. The result is a personalized progression of nigiri, sashimi, and rolls based on the freshest fish that day. This works best at dinner with advance notice, call ahead a day or two and we can plan the fish order around your visit. Pair with sake selected by the chef or bartender for the full experience.

Question 4

Is Jinbeh romantic?

Accepted Answer

Jinbeh can be romantic depending on how you set up the evening. Hibachi tables are communal and energetic, fun for celebration but not the most intimate setting for a romantic date. For a romantic dinner, request a sushi bar seat or a private dining table when you book on OpenTable. The sushi bar gives you direct interaction with the sushi chefs and a quieter atmosphere; a dining table away from the hibachi grill area offers privacy and conversation space. Pair with sake or Japanese whisky from the full bar, order omakase-style from the sushi chef, and finish with mochi or seasonal dessert. For anniversaries and proposals, mention the occasion when you book.

Question 5

What kind of fish does Jinbeh serve?

Accepted Answer

Jinbeh serves a rotating selection of fresh fish at our sushi bars in Frisco and Lewisville. Core selections include salmon, tuna (akami and toro when available), yellowtail (hamachi), white tuna (escolar), eel (unagi), shrimp (ebi), crab, octopus (tako), and mackerel (saba). Seasonal additions like uni, ikura, snapper, and king salmon appear when our fishmonger sources them. Fish is delivered fresh, not frozen for service. Hibachi-grilled proteins on the dinner menu include chicken, shrimp, scallops, steak, filet mignon, lobster tail, and salmon hibachi. Ask the sushi chef what looks best that day, they often have off-menu pieces from the morning's delivery.
