Executive Chef – Ashley Jackson
Johin’na is a modern Japanese restaurant rooted in tradition and driven by detail—offering robata, sushi, oysters, and omakase in the heart of downtown Birmingham.
Johin’na is more than a restaurant
It’s an experience rooted in family, creativity, and a love for global flavors. The menu is the vision of Executive Chef Ashley Jackson and her sister Amber Diamond (Jr. Sous Chef)—Alabama natives whose journeys have taken them from Bali to London to Los Angeles, shaping a unique culinary perspective that blends world influence with Southern soul.
Every detail of Johin’na reflects their story. Subtle nods to their sisterhood can be found throughout the space, most notably in the Pisces symbol—two fish circling one another—that honors their shared zodiac sign and unbreakable bond.
Set in the heart of Birmingham, Johin’na brings together elegance, intimacy, and a sense of discovery. Guests are invited to explore a menu that balances innovation with tradition, paired with warm, genuine hospitality that makes every visit unforgettable. From thoughtfully crafted sushi and small plates to curated cocktails and late-night offerings, Johin’na is designed as a gathering place where food, culture, and connection come to life.
