You just cannot get better sushi within OC. Superb. I’m in my mid 30s and have eaten here since I was in middle school/early high school. Superb. No notes. No critique. This is legit sushi.

The sushi was very fresh. Small restaurant so very intimate. Sat at the bar and got to watch and interact with chef Shin, it was very enjoyable and cool to watch. Highly recommend.

I just love this place. It always feels like home being here. And the food is mind blowing. The freshest fish you can get. The service is so friendly you won’t be unnoticed.

Been coming to Shin’s for a few years. Used to live in Japan and this is definitely one of the most authentic experience in the US. High quality at a reasonable price.

4.5 stars.
A bit pricy and the hours are a bit odd but have always left full and happy. The hospitality is amazing and each roll or dish is hand prepared with care.
The hand rolls are huge - beware when ordering as they are quite filling (and delicious!). Cucumber salad is refreshing and the yellowtail and tuna are incredibly fresh and light.
Daily specials are “special dishes” not necessarily specials of the day (price wise).
Huge lot shared with other retailers but this location is off to itself with ample parking.
Vegetarian options: Salads and some options but not many

My new favorite sushi restaurant. It was strongly recommended by a friend of mine. Excellent quality.
If you come here, you might experience the worst experience you ever experienced in your entire life or you could experience being treated very nicely. You just don’t know what you could get. Because the chef treat people so differently. I thought indiscrimination is a part of Japanese culture. I don’t know why he could act so differently in front of different customers. It felt like we were discriminated against due to our culture.

A very pleasant little place. The staff is wonderful. The sushi is very good-not as high quality as in several super-sushi places in Newport Beach, but at a much more reasonable price.

So good I could cry. We were just visiting from out of town. This place was so friendly and the food was better than anything I’ve had in a decade. Worth it!

Found our new sushi spot. Fish is absolutely top quality. This is not your typical American sushi place, it’s more traditional Tokyo sushi. Simple menu, no crazy rolls. Servers were very attentive and sweet.

Excellent fish! If looking for crazy rolls with lots of sauces this is not your place. If you just want excellent fish you're in the right place. Only a handful of tables and seats at the sushi bar so reservations are suggested.
