From host Derek to Chef T this has been an experience that is beyond compare. The selection and quality of Sake is superb but the food is out of this world extraordinary. The freshness of every ingredient and the flavors used to bring out the main flavors for each dish is outstanding in every way.

Wonderful experience! Have done omakase in other cities but this one was truly a one of a kind experience!
Eliza
Outstanding experience. Best meal of my life thus far! Every component to every course tasted incredibly fresh, thoughtful, and purposeful. I fear I can never look at sushi quite the same way again. We will definitely be returning. Nicola was a wonderful server. Our experience was well worth the cost!
Gale
Seriously sensational shinbay experience. It was a pleasure to be there and we're happy to recommend this experience in truly fine dining

Omakase dining for the first time before our upcoming trip to Japan. Food was amazing! The entire experience is a must do! Watching Master Chef prepare and plate multiple courses was a treat. Nicole and Jiear (sorry if misspelled) were knowledgeable and explained the courses and how to properly handle/consume them. Sake, wine and beer only is understandable due to the size of space and seatings but would have liked a less expensive selection (we had Stags Leap Artemis and it was really good just expensive). All in all, as a special occasion evening, you couldn't ask for anything more enjoyable, varied and delicious!

Thank you Master Chef Tanaka for the wonderful experience! You made our 10th anniversary so memorable. Quality of food is one of the best! It was all worth it!!
Marius
The Omakase is excellent and somehow improves every time we go. Some ingredients take days or months to prepare, so if you have shellfish or other categorical seafood allergies, you must discuss them with the staff.

This is Sushi as good as it gets, at its highest level of service, quality and ambience. Highly recommend.
This was the best dining experience ever. The fish was so fresh and handmade in front of me. Each bite was better than the next! Truly a master of his craft! Can't wait to go back!
Kayla
This was an all around amazing experience. Derek explained each course so thoroughly dropping in facts about the fish and where it was imported from. We learned so much and had a great time. A foodie's 10/10 experience.
Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Shinbay last night. Tanaka San and Taka San as well as GM Derek did a phenomenal job from the moment we set foot in the restaurant. Looking forward to coming back again soon! Thanks for making my girlfriend's birthday one she'll never forget!

I lived in Japan for many years and this is the best sushi and other food I've had. They explain everything of what you're eating and how it's made, which they wouldn't do in Japan, so even a better experience. The price is definitely up there but I guess to hop on a flight for 24 hours round trip, hotel, etc., rack it up to you're actually saving monies!

I have dined at several restaurants serving omakase. I was not expecting to be blown away by a sushi restaurant in old town Scottsdale, but WOW, this is a fabulous meal. It was a perfect spot for a birthday celebration splurge. Every dish was exploding with flavor. I can't recommend enough....fantastic service and delicious food. The intimate setting may be slightly uncomfortable for some, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely dine at ShinBay again while visiting Scottsdale.

If you appreciate creative and unbelievably fresh sushi, you will love this experience. This is a one of a kind restaurant for Scottsdale that is an evening experience not just a meal. It was an education in fish I had never tried even having frequented every other sushi restaurant in town including Nobu. The chefs were meticulous and incredibly original. The service was perfection as there are only 10 people for each seating. Aragato!
