Question 1

Does Jinbeh have toro?

Accepted Answer

Toro (fatty tuna belly) is available at Jinbeh seasonally and based on what our seafood suppliers bring in that week. It is not a fixed daily menu item because true bluefin or yellowfin toro is expensive, sourced in limited quantity, and turns over quickly. When toro is available, you will often find it listed as a sushi bar special or on the daily specials card. Ask your sushi chef directly, they will know what came in that morning and whether toro (otoro, chutoro) is on the cut board. If you are planning a special occasion and specifically want toro, call ahead a day or two and we can try to reserve a portion from the next delivery.

Question 2

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.

Question 3

Is Jinbeh's fish fresh?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Jinbeh serves fresh fish daily at both Frisco and Lewisville sushi bars. We receive deliveries from established DFW seafood suppliers most days, and our sushi chefs select cuts based on what arrives that morning. Fish is held at proper sushi-grade temperatures with strict time-since-catch tracking. We do not refreeze raw fish for service. Some specific species, most notably tuna, are flash-frozen at sea per FDA sushi-grade guidelines to neutralize parasites; this is industry standard and required for safe raw consumption. Beyond compliance, our long-tenured sushi chefs are picky about quality and will pull product that does not meet our standards. If something looks off, it does not go on a plate.

Question 4

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 5

Does Jinbeh have sake?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Jinbeh has a curated sake list at both Frisco and Lewisville locations, including junmai, junmai ginjo, junmai daiginjo, nigori (unfiltered), and sparkling sake. We serve sake hot, cold, or chilled depending on the style, your server can recommend based on whether you are eating hibachi, sushi, or sashimi. Our happy hour Monday through Friday from 5 to 6:30 pm includes $5 sake by the glass, which is one of the best sake happy hour deals in Frisco or Lewisville. Sake by the bottle is available for larger groups or guests who want to share. The full bar also offers Japanese whisky, beer (Sapporo, Asahi, Kirin), wine, and cocktails.
