Went for the BOGO promotion, which is truly a steal at $69. We probably would've considered that a good price even paying each person.
Start to finish the fish were great. Fresh, plump, perfectly seasoned when necessary. I enjoyed the counter seating with the high-tops. They are extremely efficient as they had another seating the hour after hours so they turn over the place very quickly. There are also two different chefs so the small group is split even smaller.
The two extra pieces (aji and crab hand roll) probably weren't worth it.

Delicious sushi and very timely!! I wish the chefs were more interactive and spoke more about the pieces of fish & the flavor combos.

Went during the BOGO time. Food was fresh and delicious

My very nocturnal friend managed to snag one of the last reservations for Shinn West while they're still offering their crazy BOGO omakase deal, so I was Super excited to have the chance to give it a try at this ridiculously low price.
The reservations slots are booked for an hour, and they do start very punctually -- so try not to be late! However, even though it may seem quick, they do a good job of pacing each course/piece and it didn't feel rushed at all.
Each piece of fish was so delicious -- fresh, high quality fish paired with warm rice and lovely garnish, be it pickled wasabi, caviar, or even onions. I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more interaction with the chef (maybe a more detailed explanation for each piece, for example), but honestly for $35 a person, I'm not complaining haha.
The restaurant itself is surprisingly large -- each of the two sushi counters could seat maybe 10-15(?) people -- and each seat didn't feel too cramped.
Overall I think with the BOGO deal this was an incredibly good value, but even at the normal price I think it'd still be worth a try!

Nice burgetable omakase, actually $69 per person (12 courses and 1 handroll), but this time got BOGO, a very nice price for $69 for two. Every course was so fresh, and the chefs were very professional. Only 55 minutes dine-in for each reservation. It felt like fast food, lol.

Their fish is smaller than regular omakase and just fast food basically. Terrible service and experience. Really difficult to talk to. Avoid! The manager Jennifer is rude and unreasonable

Went for bogo. It was lit

Similar to Thirteen Water, 1 hour omakase, currently bogo as Shinn East is under renovations. Definitely need a reservation

I went there for a dinner on casual day. My server Yuki was really friendly and welcoming, made me feel accompanied, and did a great job on explaining the ingredients. And the ambiance is very warm, and I love their scented candles.

I loved my experience at shinn west and certainly will be coming back. The omakase set was a total of 13 courses and left me so satisfied, each with amazing flavor. Our server Queena made sure we had a great time and gave great sake recommendations.
This place is great for some omakasees but the music is… AWFUL!!!!!!! It’s so bad it almost ruins the experience. It’s not even like jazz or something it’s like annoying pop music (think pitbull or one direction). I can’t express how upset the music made me. I would get lost in the omakasees piece and then instantly be brought back to the annoying music. I asked if they could change it to like jazz or something because I thought that’d be a middle ground we could agree with BUT NO they told me no, intentionally leaving this pop poop. I love this place it’s so great for the sushi but wow please reconsider your music- it ruins the experience. Also the hostess has a nasty attitude and was dressed in a hoodie like pajamas

I have only had great experiences when doing going to shinn west! I’ve been 3 times so far, and it keeps getting better each time i go! The food is fresh and delicious, the price is even better. It’s hard to find affordable omakase with this level of quality in the city. Jason the manager is amazing, he always makes sure that his customers are having a good time and keeps customers coming back! Highly recommend going to shinn west!

My family and I had a great experience dining at shinn west. We didn’t made a reservation but they took us in. The fish was fresh and delicious. My favorite being the salmon. Our server Queena was very attentive and polite, explaining the menu to us and gave a great sake recommendation. Would highly recommend to come back again!

I had a lovely date night with my wife, enjoying what I believe is the best sushi in the city. Our server, Jason, was very accommodating and contributed greatly to making it a memorable evening.
