Shinsen is a restaurant that offers a unique fusion of Japanese and Thai cuisines. The Spicy Creamy Tom Yum Noodle soup is a must-try, with its rich and tangy broth, and the right amount of heat. The Yakiniku don and Yakitori Don are also popular, with a savory-sweet sauce that ties everything together. The Beef Tongue is a more adventurous choice, with a unique texture and flavorful marinade.
The garlic fried rice with wagyu, served in a stone bowl, is another standout dish, with a pleasant garlic flavor and crunchy caramelized rice. The Shallot Fried Rice with shrimp is also a favorite, although the portion of shrimp could be more generous.
The robata skewers are a highlight, with a variety of options from the ordinary to the exotic. Customers praise the kind and amazing staff, as well as the delicious and fresh dishes made with care and great quality. While the restaurant has a few drawbacks, such as the use of styrofoam containers for carryout orders and the lack of vegan options, it offers a flavor-packed dining experience with unique and delicious dishes.
