Jei Sushi

After 7 years of coming here whenever we can, I think it's time for an updated review: My family, friends, and I love it here. It has become like a third space away from home and work, to just relax and have a bit of fun for birthdays or really just any day we feel like treating ourselves. I've tried almost every item in the menu by now and love it all. My favorite is the salmon eggs nigiri, I have to get that every time. My husband loves the vegetable tempura, bento boxes, and deep friend cheesecake. We love the mural on the wall, and sitting at the bar where we can watch the sushi being made. I first came here around the time when the restaurant first opened, when my daughter was a newborn, because I couldn't eat sushi when I was pregnant and I had to finally celebrate after my daughter was born. The restaurant owner held my daughter so I could eat with both hands, and she fell asleep on his chest. My daughter is 7 now and she also gets excited every time we go here. She loves trying new foods, the cute waving cat decoration at the sushi bar, and picking a Ramune out of the fridge. I really can't recommend this place enough. This is the review that I first left, word for word (copy/pasted), 7 years ago: Ferociously delicious, fresh, and artistic food at a great value. This place is amazing. My friends, family, and I love it. It's a family owned restaurant with kindly people working there.

JEI should be considered a historical landmark. I've been coming here for about two years now and have never had a bad experience. From the quality of the food, to the fantastic interactions with the staff, I have nothing but praise for the entire establishment. I would gladly sign a petition to get JEI on every tour of Colorado Springs. Essential eating for anyone that thinks you can find good fish in Colorado.

Jei sushi is my family's favorite spot. My daughter is 7 and loves coming here; she always gets treated like a "big girl" and it makes her day. Service is amazing and AYCE is always fresh and good portions. The salmon and yellowtail in particular are some of the best I've had in the springs. They also have fun Colorado themed house rolls and great entrees if you have someone who isn't a sushi lover. We've been coming here for years and will continue to do so!

I wanted to try this place, as it's in a convenient location. I ordered a total of 5 rolls and a couple kinds of nigiri for lunch. (Names of rolls included with pictures.) The price was good, as the total was around $50 before a tip. I will say, while the taste of the food was decent, it isn't my favorite sushi place in town.

Aloha from da BIGPAKE : Today I got to experience a gem of a spot for real authentic localized sushi. I am always impressed with a place that can serve food the way it was meant to be made. This place reminds me of local Hawaii sushi places for one the food but second the hospitality. When we first got there the young lady who sat us was welcoming and was so energetic and made you feel at home, Second the server (Luke) was outstanding.. he was like a cool next door neighbor that understood what you wanted and he always checked on my family. The owners have connections to Hawaii and that may attribute to why thier food is so good but never the less if your ever in Colorado Springs you need to check this place out. You will only want to thank me.
