Mr.j Asian Bistro - Guilford Center

Recently came here for their happy hour which is offered Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. It is not advertised fully on their website, and I saw it posted on their Facebook page. They offer a variety of drinks at a very reasonable price. These two pictures are martinis that are offered on their happy hour menu for $9 each. The lychee martini was the better of the two. The presentation is pretty, but I still don't understand the reasoning for a sprig of rosemary and a lychee martini. This place was such a pleasant surprise that I brought a friend from work for happy hour one day and colleagues a couple weeks later. For Guilford, you get bang for your buck considering the zip code. I'd recommend happy hour in their small little bar. Make sure to get there early as it is limited in seating.

Nobody does it better than Mr. J’s. The best Asian fusion in town. From sushi to curry and everything in between, the entire menu is spirited and delicious. Sushi is exceptional considering most rolls are under $8. The ambiance is nice and the service is extraordinary- you will never be waiting on drink refills! The easiest five stars you’ll see.

I've always gotten Eel sushi rolls from them. However, my most recent Eel sushi roll, it was mostly just fatty eel which I did not enjoy one bit. I'll try them again one last time but hopefully the next time I get Eel sushi roll, it'll be better. I had to throw away the last order because it was unbelieveably fatty and not edible for me.

Best Chinese outside of Taste of China in New Haven and Clinton. That said, the spice profile and menu selection is probably better suited to most families at Mr. J's. Bit more than the average blah Chinese on the Shoreline. But always excellent.

Did a quick take out after the Guilford Fair. All was very good and I'll make a point to come back again another time.
