Sannie (fka Jannie)

egg rolls 'doughy' inside; good texture on outside; fried rice yummy.....Sushi was fresh!! Little pricey but good eats!!

I used to come here all the time when I was growing up. There food was good, the service was good, and it was a good local spot with reliable, consistent quality. I went here for my birthday with my dad. He doesn't eat sushi, but I promised him he could get "real" food, aka hot, cooked food. I ordered sushi, he ordered cooked Chinese food. 20 minutes after placing our order, our server told us the oven wasn't working, so they couldn't serve any Chinese food, but could somehow cook Japanese food. (I don't know why she couldn't have told us the oven was broken before placing our order, but maybe it broke while we were there?) After looking at Japanese selections for 5 minutes, my father decides on an entree. She said they couldn't serve that either. Only sushi. My dad passed on the sushi, and 10 minutes later (45 minutes from being seated) I was finally served my sushi while my dad watched. There was no apology, no comp'd food, no explanation. Just awkward silence. The sushi was ok, but not as good as it used to be. Also, the heat was broken in the restaurant, and it was 55 degrees outside. You're better off getting pre-made sushi at the grocery store 30 feet away. If you have a restaurant, you should be able to provide the items on your menu. Roosevelt Mall is a total disaster, so having a good business is important, because people really have no reason to go to that mall anyway. Sad to say, but after all these years, I'm done with Jannie.

Like the title says they have the best hot-n-sour soup I've ever had. I drive from Fishtown to get take-out because I crave their soup. Their food is prepared really well and tastes fresh with nice size portions. Although it's not on the menu, they will make Kung Pao Beef for me and I love it! The Japanese menu is pretty good too, however, I wasn't a fan of the fried katsu dishes- too dry. Nice atmosphere and ambiance!

Jannie has a very nice, clean atmosphere and I've had great service every time I've been there, though you do pay for it because it's a bit high priced. I would like a little more of a selection as far as combos and sushi (specialty rolls). The food is great though! They always keep me coming back!

I really love Jannie's food. The service is great. I think the price of food is bit high.
