  For some reason I really like sushi rolls.  Maybe it's the different textures in one bite size item or the idea they're not bad for my health but if you click on my tags, I think you'll find quite a large number of Japanese restaurants.  It was just 6 years ago that I wouldn't even consider eating raw fish.  Now it's part of my cycle of foods to eat and here I am at Jinbeh.  Surrounded by many office buildings, Jinbeh is a convenient location for many people.

  

  A cramped interior and decorated much like any other Japanese restaurant:

  

  At lunch time it's packed.

  Salad:

  

  It's almost like thousand island sauce.

  Miso soup:

  

  Nothing special to note about the miso soup.

  California rolls and Tuna Rolls:

  

  You can see the California rolls are falling apart.  The avocado was nice and ripe though.  Tuna was cold and relatively hard.

  Crispy shrimp rolls:

  

  Shrimp was crispy and also loosely packed.

  This restaurant is surrounded by office buildings and food is of decent quality so it's really packed for lunches on weekdays.  Prices were reasonable.  I had a Coke which was very watered down.  Service was slow as it was very busy.  I've been to so many Japanese restaurants that a restaurant has to be really good or make something special to really stand out for me.  Jinbeh is an average place that I would only go because it's convenient.
