The management and servers delivered such a great experience. Their generosity and attention to detail was so appreciated, I don't go out to eat much but when I do this place is on top of the list. Thankyou Shin's Sushi 🙏

The staff for super friendly and very helpful she even brought me out a bowl of water for my dog out on the patio and took my order for me outside so I didn't have to worry about bringing my dog in the restaurant. They have lunch specials that are super cheap and very filling and I felt like this was a great budget by lunch!

First and last time coming here. Our food took an hour and a half to come out (we ordered 6 items in total). And honestly the sushi was just okay. We had to ask multiple times about our order and saw every table around us that arrived much later eat and finish before we even got our food. It was clear our order didn’t get put in, but there was no accountability whatsoever. Terrible service, such a disappointment.

You get 3 rounds to order as much sushi as you want each round. There are 3 tiers you can choose from ($20, $35, and $55), and the more expensive ones have more rolls and exotic sushi you can choose from (the cheap one is doesn't have many good rolls). 90min time limit. If it's busy they take awhile to prepare your food, so you might not get to order round 3. Call in a reservation if you have a lot of people. Rolls are good sized, but $10 extra per roll not eaten, but just don't order too much and you'll be fine. 10/10 would recommend.

I come here a lot, but recently the food has been taking longer and longer to come out. The last two times I was here the food took 25 and over 35 minutes to come out respectively. I ordered two rolls in both cases. The restaurant wasn’t super busy. Just slow service

Shin’s Sushi used to be one of our favorite Sushi restaurants.

We came here for Sushi but instead of eating fish, this time we ate a large quantity of rice.

I appreciate the hard work the sushi chef put into the meal, but it didn’t quite suit our palate.

The $24.99 all-you-can-eat sushi course is very difficult. There are too many rules you must follow. Otherwise, you will get charged a lot of money.

Thank you for the delicious-looking teriyaki chicken but it's not quite to my taste. I wish it were hot and the chicken was tender, and not too dry.

The sushi rolls' plate presentation was beautiful. However, the fried shrimp inside the Ninja roll was a bit tough. The Banzai roll wrapped with the soft shell crab had a strong smell and taste.

Overall, the all-you-can-eat sushi may not be suitable for everyone. We had a hard time making orders. But other than that it might still be convenient to try many different dishes.

Shin's is a no frills sushi shop. Service was prompt. Strange that ice water was served in a pitcher, but you drink from tea cups.
My companion's Rainbow Roll was attractive and tasty.
My pork teriyaki was strange. Served in a large bowl, it was a large pile of white rice with pieces of sauced pork dotted over the rice. The mixture was not uniformly heated, not very tasty and not very attractive.

It’s definitely great for college folks, it’s affordable all you can eat sushi.

It’s affordable $25 all you can eat, but the quality is pretty poor. The sushi was falling apart when it came to the table it was already falling apart.

Highly recommend for those with a budget or to quickly get seated on an empty stomach. If you can afford more, it’s better spent elsewhere.

Top notch food with a good all you can eat value even at the low level for $25. But they started slowing down serving food like they are trying to stall but it could be because they were making it as good as possible.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, friendly people. It was about 1 hr and a half from seating to getting food. They were busy, but not all the tables were full. Short staffed? Worth it, but reserve enough time, and buy extra when parking (I had to go out and add more to our time as the estimated time of parking, food, and perusing, didn't cover the entire wait time). We got the chasurssi(?) the raw fish plate, and the udon. My boyfriend was highly impressed with the fish, and the udon was very tasty and comforting.

It has a funky smell and the music was too loud and sucked, not a conducive environment for a nice family meal. The food was good and plentiful.

We got the $25 all you can eat deal. The menu had many diverse options for foods and the choices for food become more varied with every next tier of all you can eat. Everything was delicious and even though there is technically a 90mjn limit for all you can eat deal, we did not feel rushed out and were never pushed to leave when approaching that mark. Very comfortable and cozy atmosphere with nice staff.

Food was fine, but it was easily the worst service I’ve had in recent memory. Took about 90 min from the time listed on our reservation for them to bring out food, which was strange since it was a weeknight and the restaurant wasn’t even full.
