"Really, really good! Super unique idea to mix Dominican cuisine with sushi, and the flavor shows it paid off. The Explosivo has this perfect balance of flavors: sweet, savory, and just a little bit zesty. Very impressed."

Where Dominican Soul Meets Japanese Craft - Sushi Reinvented with Plantains, Passion & Fire
Two Cultures, One Roll
At Makesushi by JM, we believe the best food comes from daring to blend worlds. Born in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, our kitchen is where the vibrant flavors of the Dominican Republic collide with the precise artistry of Japanese sushi-making. The result? Something you won't find anywhere else.
Imagine golden ripe plantains wrapped around creamy avocado and fresh crab. Picture cassava puree replacing traditional rice in a breaded sushi roll stuffed with chicken, bacon, and cream cheese. Every bite tells a story of two culinary traditions brought together with passion, creativity, and a whole lot of love.
Our signature Mangushi, Yukushi, and Explosivo rolls have become local legends - each one handcrafted to deliver bold flavors and unforgettable textures. Whether you're a sushi purist looking for something new or a Caribbean food lover craving innovation, our menu was made for you.
