Shinsei offers a mix experience; while there may be confusion regarding waitstaff and slow wine service, the sushi bar stands out with great, fresh, and unique sushi, served by attentive staff. The food is enjoyable, with highlights such as the steamed dumplings of the day, short rib potstickers, and salmon sashimi. Many guests recommend the Dumpling Sampler when available and praise the Peking Duck. Reservations are advised, especially as the courtyard room is preferred for a quieter dining experience. While service can be hit or miss, with some guests noting slow and inattentive moments, the management has been responsive to feedback. The adorable Neko & Inu chopstick holders are available for sale as mementos. Shinsei remains a favorite for special occasions, with many returning for the amazing sushi and overall enjoyable experience.
