SHINN EAST

I visited Shinn East for their omakase during lunchtime on a weekday, and it was a pleasant experience. There were only two parties dining (including myself), so it was very peaceful and quiet, allowing us to fully enjoy our meal without the usual lunchtime rush. The atmosphere was calm, which made for a very relaxed and enjoyable meal. Our server was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and efficient. They kept our glasses full throughout the meal, and their timing between courses was just right, ensuring we had a seamless dining experience. The omakase itself was moderately paced, with limited interaction from the chef. While I personally enjoy a bit more conversation during an omakase experience, I understand that this style suits some diners more. There's nothing wrong with the pacing; it's just an observation. The value for the price was exceptional. At $69 for 13 courses, the omakase is very affordable, and there’s even an option to add additional courses towards the end if you're still hungry. It felt like a great deal, especially considering the quality of the ingredients. As for the courses, they were quite good. The menu included - Hamachi Madai Botan Uni Ikura Zuke Akami Chu Toro Toro Caviar Hotate Saba Kanpachi Salmon Unagi Toro hand-roll Each piece of nigiri was made with a fresh cut of fish, and the flavors were clean and delicate. My personal favorites were the Botan Uni, O Toro Caviar, Ikura, Chu Toro, and Hotate. Each was perfectly prepared and stood out for its freshness and taste. Overall, Shinn East offers an affordable, high-quality omakase experience, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to indulge in sushi without breaking the bank.

I loved the food. I wish the staff were nicer. I have a back problem and needed a chair with a back and they acted like they did not have that when I saw the other side of the restaurant did indeed have chairs with backs. Once I mentioned that, they brought the chair. Weird to lie for no reason. They also had just wiped the place down and it smelled REALLLLLY strong of chemicals which turned my stomach a bit at the top of my meal which I didn’t like. Good sushi though.

For the price point, I think this is a wonderful omakase. We did a 12 piece omakase with a hand roll to end. We were celebrating our two year anniversary and were surprised with the cutest cupcake hehe. The restaurant was very clean and the waitstaff took great care of us! The nigiri was true to the fish. No crazy additions but small adjustments to let the fish shine. We would definitely go back!

I have nothing but praises for this establishment! The food was phenomenal and the service was top-notch. The omakase set was well-paced and each piece of nigiri was outstanding in terms of quality and presentation. The menu allows you to order more after the initial course is done which is great since it would allow you to revisit any nigiri that you loved or even get something to end on an even higher note (we got the A5 Wagyu with Foie Gras which was an absolute stunner). Experiencing the whole meal for this price point felt like such a steal. That, along with the relaxed atmosphere of the chefs and the place, makes it a perfect omakase to try for first-timers. If you're in the market for this kind of experience, Shinn East is a place that you would not want to miss.

5 stars for 5 reasons 1. All the sushi were super delicious for the exception of a few rolls but overall it was tasteful! Salmon was fresh and very good. The roll with truffle and lime zest was awesome! 2. 75 dollars for the rolls we got was all worth it! 3. This is quality over quantity! Super fresh and delicious! 4. Order was ready when we got there! Fast! 5. Beautiful box and presentation of the sushi which makes the eating experience even better.

The omakase experience was very good. The fish was all fresh and toppings were interesting. My favorite rolls were the botan uni, ikura and o toro caviar. They had a little birthday sushi cupcake made at the end and wished me happy birthday! The waitress always had our waters topped off. Our sushi chef, Liam, was a bit hard to hear but we could hear the other sushi (Mike) call out the rolls at the other side of the table. The space was a bit small, but it makes the experience more personal with the chef and other diners. Price was on par with other omakase in the area and was good for the quality of the fish. Only complaint was there wasn't much time to order extra rolls if you wanted more.

I’ve never had an experience like that before. You only get 35-40 minutes to eat everything, and after that, they try to rush you out the door like you’re not even a customer. It was honestly ridiculous. And it is very bright and tight there… food was ok…

Had a team of 4 we enjoyed the entire 13 course Omakase. The fish were absolutely fresh and exquisite taste. The best part was we could repeat the ones we like separately- loved the Uni, Kanpachi and Saba
