Shin-La Restaurant & Sushi Bar

Ordered the hot stone bibimbap. Stone was not hot enough to get the rice crispy, and the fern mentioned on the menu was not among the veggies. Also didn't come with bon chan as I would expect it to traditionally.
If I hadn't had the real thing this would be decent, but knowing what a good stone pot bibimbap can be like, this was disappointing.

Very meh!

The food was passable and had some interesting traditional touches in the bibimpap bowl but overall, it wasn’t anything to write home about.I would go again if I had no other options in the area but what I was not impressed with in any measure was the service. The lack of energy and character from our waiter (or waitress? Honestly, couldn’t tell) was disheartening. As a business that interfaces directly with customers, you need personality in that role and there was absolutely none to be found.The setting itself can definitely use a deep clean and update as well. Our table was next to a random silver dollar sized hole in the wooden wall which the kids thought something might pop out from.Hard earned dollars would have been better spent elsewhere.

Good Bim bop but a little sparse on vegetables. Atmosphere is a bit faded. Good enough though

Vegetarian options: Could have had more vegetables in the Bim bap

Adults had some nice sushi, and my toddler had fried tofu. We all enjoyed it. I found the vegan rolls more interesting than other places.

Not bad, but, as someone who has lived in Japan and Korea, also not authentic.

Pretty damn Asian food with super friendly and energetic staff. It was a joy eating here, especially in such a cute town.

This place is so good! We had gotten an Airbnb out of town and saw this place and thought why not. It’s nothing fancy, but the food is amazing! We had the sushi, and there are no complaints. Great presentation and tasted fresh.

Years ago I gave Shin La a great review and recommended it often to people. Now, the food and service is not that great. My last three times ordering from there the food has become progressively worse (and smaller). There are several better Asian restaurants in Brattleboro.

Rating this place mostly on the food, I have to give it 5 stars. The atmosphere may be lacking, but finding sushi anywhere near this quality is difficult in New England. I am very particular about sushi and have tried dozens of restaurants in NH and Mass as well as while traveling to Japan, and I must say this place is in my top five experiences in New England.
