Master Critic Review

JR Sushi 7.8
Tribeca
JR Sushi is a Chambers Street staple focused on affordable roll combos, party trays, and all-day lunch specials that anchor the area’s budget sushi scene. The move is to treat it as a quick, reliable stop for maki and miso rather than an omakase destination.
Must-Try Dishes: Three Roll Lunch Special, Two Roll Lunch with miso soup, Party Tray C assorted rolls
