Delicious food and great service. We liked the decor, but would appreciate real chairs with backs rather than square cubes. Our backs were sore when we left.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We aren't picky and didn't know what we wanted to order, so we asked the chef to send us whatever he thought we'd enjoy. Our waitress was also very knowledgable and attentive. Definitely worth it and would come back again!

Amazing service and food. Don't arrive super hungry or thirsty, because it does take a while for your initial drinks and appetizers to arrive. But the servers are very informative and attentive. If you are very hungry, I recommend ordering a few 'hot' dishes such as the beef tataki and the dynamite crab. Note that the rolls are NOT shareable because the arrive as a single 'taco'. Not sliced up. In fact, it's not a super shareable menu in general. So come prepared for you and your friends to each order your own assortment of plates.

We ate at Gi Jin on January 2, 2025. My wife had the salad which she said was excellent and I had the Miso soup with a mildly salty flavor. We shared a platter which was anrtistically arranged and tasty with a large variation of culinary experiences. We both got the California Hand Rolls (crab, avocado, cucumber, radish, and Furikake). I will say that I could not taste any crab within the hand roll. The service people were excellent. The service people were knowledgeable and accommodating for any dietary modification and attentive.

Food was delicious, but expensive . Portions were small, and service very very slow- surprising considering that it's a small restaurant
