“Actually, we are open today,” said Jay Shin. “Now that we have everything ready, we can open to the public.”

Jay’s 108 Sushi Bar opens (today) Thursday at 5:00 pm. The new restaurant in Kinston will join those in Jay’s Restaurant Group, including restaurants in Goldsboro, Greenville, and Mt. Olive. The original plan to open earlier in the year did not happen due to the pandemic and staffing.
