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.

Once again we had an excellent dinner experience at Shinsei. Although quite noisy, the service and food continue to be excellent. The menu appears to have changed, but the choices are broad. The small entree order of short ribs was sufficient for my wife; the barbecue sauce excellent and the meat tender. Great choice! The seared scallops from the Valentine menu were large, perfectly cooked and the mushrooms superb! You will need reservations for Saturday after 5:30pm. Will return!!!!

My fiancée and I had the pleasure of dining at Shinsei Restaurant this Valentine’s Day, and we were beyond impressed! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the perfect mood. The 90s and 2000s R&B music playing throughout the evening was a fantastic touch – it really added to the vibe and made our night feel special. The food was exceptional – I was truly surprised by how delicious the rice was (better than Benihana’s, which I never thought I’d say)! Every dish we tried was flavorful, and it was clear that quality ingredients were used. Both my fiancée and I had a great time, and we felt truly taken care of. Thank you, Shinsei, for the wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back for more!

The service and food are worth the visit. The decor and parking are a challenge. I would return because of the food and service.

Service was slow and inconsistent. When ordering sushi rolls at $20 each and have them come out to the table more than 20 min apart when ordered for 3 people at the same time is ridiculous.
