The best Japanese dining experience in Phoenix. Rivals the top omakase places in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Delicious imaginative menu, the freshest ingredients and chef and the sou chefs are all very likable people. I have went there every month since last fall and I am still impressed by this restaurant every time.

We save ShinBay for special people and special occasions. It is truly a jewel and we have been lucky enough to have dined here 4 times in the past few years. Each time the meal brings tears to our eyes, as we appreciate the time, care and creativity that is taken by Chef with each bite. Do we have favorites? Each course is a unique creation and no experience is the same. The uni was unlike any other, the turban snail was tender, and the A5 wagyu was the most extraordinary dish, this time served with a perfect hot spring egg, creating the most amazing “steak and eggs” we have ever had.

I can't express how incredible the experience was. It was like watching an artist work and you got to eat the result. Everything about the experience was delicious perfection, presented perfectly. I loved learning about each dish/fish served and where the fish/food was from. We went for my girlfriend's birthday and she literally told me it was the best birthday she's ever had because she enjoyed Shinbay so much. 10/10 it was a once in a lifetime experience that I highly recommend if you can budget for it.
I’m convinced this is the best omakase in the US. Every course was insane,thoughtful, balanced, and unforgettable.

I can say with zero hyperbole that this is quite possibly the finest omakase experience outside of Japan. From the history & provenance given by the servers for each course to the meticulous detail that each of the chefs tended to, this was the best sushi experience of my entire life. An extensive sake, wine and beer menu presents a perfect accompaniment to this exquisite meal. Nothing short of exceptional, I intend to go back when the new menu gets set for the winter in a couple weeks time.
I recently reserved my birthday dining at ShinBay, and it was an exceptional omakase experience that showcased the chef’s (Tanaka Ken) mastery of traditional Japanese cuisine with premium ingredients. We opted for the chef’s omakase menu, which takes diners through a beautifully curated journey of seasonal flavors and textures. Sakizuke (Appetizer): The meal began with an elegant chawanmushi featuring shirako (cod milt), hotate scallops, nasu eggplant, and soramame broad beans. The silky custard was perfectly steamed, and the combination of sea and land ingredients was harmonious. Otsukuri (Sashimi): The sashimi course was outstanding. The sagoshi (young Spanish mackerel) was buttery and fresh, while the shima aji (striped jack) had that characteristic clean, sweet flavor. The hirame with ocean trout and the olive halibut with Tasmanian accompaniment showed the chef’s creativity in pairing ingredients. Onmono (Warm Dish): The A5 Miyazaki wagyu houba yaki with matsutake mushroom was a showstopper—rich, umami-packed, and aromatic. Nigiri & Tsumami: The nigiri selection was extensive and impressive, featuring everything from delicate tako (octopus) and saba (blue mackerel) to the prized kinmedai (goldeneye snapper) and multiple preparations of ankou (monkfish). The rice temperature and seasoning were spot-on. ShinBay delivers an authentic, high-end omakase experience with impeccable fish quality and thoughtful preparation. Perfect for special occasions or anyone seeking exceptional Japanese cuisine. Reservation is highly recommended.

The best omaskase experience in Arizona and it’s not even close! Incredible date night location with the restaurant sitting around 6 people with 2-3 chefs it’s a wonderful and private experience.
The attention to detail and the way they go out of their way for each course is top notch. They even have a staff member there that explains each dish and where it’s sourced from as well as during the wagyu portion, he goes to each couple and shows the certificate.
