JB Sushi Bar

You'll find JB tucked away on Sandgate Road, in that stretch where Folkestone actually gets interesting. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself: locals queue up, the counter's always busy, and there's a genuine sense that someone in the kitchen actually cares about what they're doing. The menu reads like it was written by someone who understands sushi rather than someone trying to turn it into a spectator sport. You're eating proper sashimi, nigiri that tastes like the fish matters, and rolls that exist for a reason—not just because they look Instagram-friendly.
