Jun Japanese Restaurant

bad service bad food

by stevemkim

As soon as we walked in, it seemed like we were a burden to them. No smile, no courtesy, just a "hurry up and order" vibe.

The food took forever and it wasn't even that good. The sushi rice was old and stale and you can tell the quality of the fish was not good.

Also, not once did the waitress come back and offer refill for our drinks.

When we were all done and paid for the food, the waitress looked at each receipt to see how much tip we put. I thought that was very rude. Also I was so disappointed, I did not leave a tip (I rarely do this) and she muttered some profanity under her breath.

Fire these old, angry waitresses and hire young, cheery ones.

• Pros: opened late compared to other sushi restaurants on a sunday
• Cons: horrible service - food wasn't even that good

We love Jun's!

by sophiescloset

We have been eating at Jun's every few months for over 10 years - We have seen the same chef upon every visit.

Now we have 3 children (6,4 & 2) that LOVE to go to Jun's too!

Our little ones enjoy eating at the low tables and they just eat up everything - sushi and all. It is one of the only places we ever eat out at here in the Springs.

Their sushi is authentic (if you want it to be)they will make any requests that you have - I have eaten sushi in many parts of the world so feel equipped to draw a comparison

(you can order the 'cooked' rolls if that is more to your taste), fresh and affordable.

The staff are always friendly and have no problems helping those less familiar decipher the menu.

Our family has enjoyed everything from the Udon to Tempura to the sashimi it is always fresh,tasty and we have NEVER had any issues with stomach upsets (obviously, otherwise we would not give to our small children or return to the restuarant) and neither have we ever heard of anyone becoming sick after a meal at Jun's (we have lots of friends and family that eat their on a regular basis too).

If you prefer a fancier atmosphere you could go to the Garden of the God's one, but we as a family, prefer the original location.

Of course the sushi in Japan is more authentic (as it should be) but the restaurant also has to cater to the taste of the area, and as far as this area (and many throughout the world) goes, this is absolutely as good as it gets!

• Pros: Family friendly, great sushi
• Cons: could be spruced up to look cleaner

Don't Eat The Chicken

by Russell1946

On June 19 my wife and three out of town friends ate the chicken and with-in hours were all suffering from Montazuma's Revenge - The owner refused to even call back to apologize but instead, accused us of lying because no other complaints were received. Not looking for free food or money back - Don't need either. Just an apology ... we'll see ...

• Cons: Montazuma's Revenge

Nothing special here.

by bluetigress519

I went to Jun's on Academy. Although they get points for having very original combinations and a large variety of sushi, the sushi seemed very sloppy, not fresh at all.

• Pros: cheap
• Cons: sushi was not fresh

Jun's on Centennial

by tmg2222

Obviously, the other folks don't venture out much!! I've been to both of Jun's restaurants. The food is excellent and they will prepare any combination you request. The sushi is fresh and expertly prepared. For ambience, visit the new location on Centennial. Due to the popularity, you need to get there before 5:30pm or wait until 7:30pm to get the best seating. Great view at night.

• Pros: Selection, Freshness, Presentation
• Cons: None

Jun's new restaurant on Centennial Blvd.

by djrmddmd

This may be just the best, freshest sushi in Colorado!!! If you like sushi, the sushi bar and chefs at Jun's are well worth the drive up Filmore to Centennial... Jun's new restaurant's fine woodworking and decor is warm and inviting. The hibachi menu and regular menu are excellent, as well.

• Pros: great Japanese food, good service
• Cons: none

Don't believe the Jun hype!

by corn29

All over Colorado Springs, people rave about Jun... it's in the Gazette and wins awards from the Indy every year. I don't know why. I know it's hard to get just caught fresh fish in the Rocky Mountains but the food isn't much better than the packaged "sushi" you can get in the seafood department at King Soopers. The cleanliness of the resturant isn't at all desirable, and there's not too much in there that reminds me of even the smallest mom and pop place I frequented when I lived in Japan. If you think that Taco Bell is Mexican food, then you'll probably think that Jun is Japanese food and thus will have a good time there. Otherwise, I'd avoid the hype as the food isn't that great, the freshness is questionable (which means everything to sushi), and the value isn't there for what you get.

Good...not Great

by linig

Jun's has little to no competition in the immediate area, and unfortunately this causes this restaurant to be crowded, noisy, and full of people who are simply getting short-changed in terms of real Japanese food. I recommend going to Denver to try some of the Asian restaurants up there. All you will get here is Americanized psudo-Japanese food. If you want better, go north!

• Pros: Edible , close, nothing more
• Cons: Long lines, brown sashimi, loud
