Shin Sushi Reviews
Wonderful experience with Chef Take! Truly a unique experience in the historical method and style chef prepares his experience.
The chef is super funny and talkative. He loves to explain the details of the food. Highly recommend arriving on time, rather be early than late. The sushi was excellent. The appetizer pairings were very interesting.
The dining experience felt great. Value for money. Don't be fooled by the outside of the restaurant, the ambience and food is fantastic

Shin Sushi is a highly recommended restaurant owned by a husband and wife team. The chef, known for being friendly and passionate about his craft, takes guests on an enjoyable journey with each dish. His wife, also the server, provides attentive and friendly service, making diners feel at home. The sushi is excellent, featuring complex and varied flavors, often with traditional marinated fish. The chef explains each dish and shares stories about the sourcing of the fish, adding a personal touch. Customers can enjoy interesting appetizer pairings and a large selection of sake, with many options to choose from, though no specific sake pairing is available. The intimate atmosphere, with just eight seats, allows guests to watch the sushi being prepared right in front of them, adding to the experience. Despite a simple outside appearance, the ambiance and quality of the food are top-notch and offer great value for money. Parking is plentiful and free, making it convenient for diners. The restaurant is especially recommended for those seeking a more upscale and personalized experience with honest and open communication from the chef. Many guests consider the Toro one of the best pieces of fish they have ever had, and numerous visitors look forward to returning.
