  Ok so we got the fried eggplant - one of the best things I've ever had, not actually fried but delicious
  Vegetable dumplings - tasted like they should, very fresh, very good
  Chefs specialty diamond roll - absolutely delicious
  Lobster tempura - WOOOOOW
  
  Also got a pitcher of beer and a large carafe of sake for $50 - whaaaat
  
  Then the best part- the bathrooms have seat warmers. It's amazing in this freezing weather. What a wonderful spot

  Solid 3 stars. It wasn't great but very average. Wine bottles were around 30 but quality was low.
  
  Fish was fresh but rolls weren't super flavorful. Service was decent and the place had good vibes. Not too crowded but we went on a Wednesday evening around 730.

  Given the raving reviews on Yelp, I was expecting a bit more from Jintan. The restaurant itself is pretty unassuming and doesn't carry a name on the exterior, but the inside is clean and stylish. My friend and I were seated on the mat area, where you have to remove your shoes and sit cross-legged. This was one of the best parts of the meal, even though it really isn't the most comfortable seating choice since our legs cramped up.
  
  Jintan offers a decent selection of sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, appetizers, and the like. Their sashimi combos are pretty affordable ($20-40) as previous reviews stated and some of their basic rolls are $5-8 with special rolls being $13-16.
  
  My friend and I opted for the curry udon ($12), mononoke ramen ($12), sweet spicy shrimp roll ($7), and red dragon roll ($14). I wasn't too impressed with my ramen; it was lacking in flavor and the pork was salty. The rolls were good but nothing too special. The curry udon was also good and the broth was lighter than expected.
  
  We had friendly service and Jintan is a decent place to go to if you're looking for pretty cheap sushi in the area. Strangely, the restaurant appears on the credit card line as Beron Beron. Just a tip for future customers paying with card and expecting it to say Jintan.

  My boyfriend and I decided to come here for a date night on Friday and we chose to sit on the seat cushion area that requires you to take off your shoes! What an experience! I saw great reviews on Yelp and this place surely didn't disappoint. I decided to order the udon noodles since it was freezing out and my boyfriend ordered the chicken teriyaki with rice. Both were absolutely delicious! My udon noodles came with mushrooms, chicken, shrimp tempura, fried tofu and fish cakes.. so many fillings and so delicious! The chicken teriyaki dish was so good too, perfectly tender and sauce was on point. We had such a great experience here and we will definitely be back to try other dishes on the menu!

  First of all, I like this place a lot.
  
  Second, I would like the publicly acknowledge the SHAMEFUL comment left by a man name Mark D on 3/4/18 which said:
  
  "The waitress complained about a $5 tip amount on a $63 bill. It was a first date and it was embarrassing and inappropriate. In Japan, tipping is considered rude, this place isn't authentic, it's as American as it gets. I came to your restaurant to have a good time, not to be your waitresses employer."
  
  Wow. First of all, remember you're in New York. She is paid the New York minimum wage for servers, and not only expects, but needs your tip, as it is customary HERE. Your tip was literally 8%. I don't blame her for being annoyed because that IS cheap and you should be embarrassed. Hopefully that was a red flag for the person you were on a first date with.
  
  Second, just because she may have been Japanese does not mean she needs to adhere to Japanese tipping customs as she obviously is working in the US. Do you go into a British pub and tip like you're in England? I'd hope not. Also, if the place is not "authentic" to you, what is your argument for tipping like you're in Japan!?
  
  Lastly, if you are going out to have a good time, then you should expect to pay for your service properly, just like any other restaurant.
  
  I hope this place continues to thrive, regardless of this incredibly rude patron.
