Shinsei Restaurant - Traditional Sushi / Contemporary Asian Kitchen

When we came up with the concept of Shinsei we wanted a place that reflected our lifestyles: sometimes we went out to dinner with our kids and sometimes with our friends and husbands. We wanted to create a place where a night out with the kids didn’t mean food adults had to suffer through or a night out with the parents didn’t mean a stuffy place where kids had to wear a scratchy clip-on tie. Shinsei is just that: a neighborhood gathering place with date night appeal.

But not so unexpected that you won’t be able to decipher the menu or recognize your favorite dish. Our signature poppers, for instance, are a sophisticated mix of late night bar food and sumptuous finger food with a distinctly Asian flair.

    Great experience as usual! Little surprised however when we got seated at the bar when the reservation I had made was for a table I thought. No issue however as I was promptly reseated by the very nice host.

    We went to Shinsei for a dinner celebrating our 43rd anniversary. The restaurant went out of its way to make it a special evening: thank you for the complimentary glass of champagne! The ambience was perfect. Our favorite order was the Purple Rain sushi ( -- a special of the evening). And we were even more happy with the attentive service that we received from Brad.

    Way too noisy. You could barely hear the person next to you and the ones across not at all. The food was good but they messed up one order. I enjoy the food but probably won’t be back again because the noise level ruined the evening.

    Amazing Sushi with tons of other amazing entree options for those that don’t like sushi. Very nice place. Staff is extremely nice and very knowledgeable. Desserts are delicious. Only thing I didn’t like was the table placement. Some of the tables inside feel so close it’s like you’re sitting at the same table as strangers. Still a great dining experience.

    The first waitress we had was very clearly high or on something. Female and she didn’t answer any of our questions or finish a single sentence or thought. The male they replaced her with was awesome. So thankful we got a new server.

    Overall good, food was typically good, a little noisy but the restaurant was busy so to be expected. Food service was good but it took almost 10 minutes to get my credit card back and sign the check.. About a 10 minute wait for the valet parking to bring my companion’s car ( I parked across the street ).

    Great food…great service. Very expensive ! There were 2 of us…had no alcohol and bill exceeded $120! But food was great…portions were generous. Great waitress! Tables are close so it was easy to overhear everyone’s conversations nearby. Too loud for an intimate dinner!

    We experienced the worst waitress we have ever had at ShinSei. Took her forever to come back for our food order. We had to flag down another wait staff. The Lanae roll we ordered was never delivered. Our waitress did not ensure that what we ordered was delivered. She did take the toll off our bill at our insistence. Had company in town for this dining experience. Disappointing the service was so sub-par.

    Overall great food and our waiter was great. However, the tables are on top of each other. The hostess failed to giver everyone a menu, which is a recurring issue, and the special drink of the week was not properly advertised. The food and waiter makes up for the issues.

    We were celebrating my son's "new used" car as well as early birthday for his girlfriend. Loved every aspect of our dining experience - especially the spring rolls, jalapeno chicken poppers, blistered peppers, and the exquisite pressed sushi (all of the sushi was excellent, but this was our first exposure to "pressed" sushi which was much easier to handle. Definitely will revisit when we are on this side of town again!
