Review Restaurant Shinano

Anh Vu

Came here because the original place we wanted to go to had too long of a wait. We arrived around 7PM Friday night and was able to get a table upon arrival. The food was good. Nothing extraordinary but it was good and came out pretty fast. Spent $140 for 3 people.

Old school Japanese and sushi restaurant with many traditional menu items. Food ranged from good to excellent and service was top notch, although may have been a little overwhelmed when the restaurant hits its peak (around 6-7pm on the day we went which was a Sunday). We were celebrating my mom’s birthday and in a large group of 11. We were able to use a side room, just off the main dining room, which was very cool as we were loud and messy :). They also have some traditional Japanese dining areas, sit down style, which looked to accommodate groups up to 8 people or so. Not sure if they are staffed for that, but may be an option with up front notice - sorry, forgot to take pics :(. We ordered too many items to list, but some key takeaways. Their “boats” can definitely serve more than 2 people as noted. The sashimi and California rolls that come with the boat is very small, but otherwise huge servings and probably serve four people, especially if you add a few sushi, sashimi or rolls. Steamed clams appetizer was delicious and again, larger serving than anticipated. Grilled squid was also a standout. Whole squid, grilled to perfection. Spicy tuna nachos, Brussels sprouts and jalapeño Hamachi were also table favorites. Nigiri sushi, which is what I ordered was good. Not really a standout, but if you are there with a group and want to try different types of dishes, this is the place to go. Service was really friendly and helpful, except when they were very busy, but we were there from 5-8pm and for the most part very happy. Especially how helpful they were with some of the extra service that comes with a birthday (think cake, extra plates, candles, lighter, etc) and large group (think extra plates, bowls and chopsticks for sharing). Consensus was that we will be back for future group dinners due to the side room, food and service. The one thing I would ask them to work on is their restrooms. Women’s restroom didn’t have liners and men’s restroom didn’t have paper towels. They addressed it as soon as we brought it up, but seems like an easy item to fix before opening. Hoping to update to a 5 star review after the next visit!

The food was not that good. Nor was it flavorful. I tried to take into account that it was delivery, and the food was cold when I got it. But the taste doesn't make me want to visit and the Wasabi was not strong. The dining maybe a good experience, but based on the food alone... I'll pass . And my postmates delivery driver, sucked. I wished that I didn't tip him. That idiot left my food at the office if my apartment complex. My apt. number was listed with the address, if you found the address, you could have found the apartment

Cute little spot: table seating and sushi bar. Tasty food at a reasonable price. Not crowded at all.

Rolls were okay. Spider roll and cucumber eel roll were great. Chef was rude and standoffish. Hands dishes to you by pushing it into your hands and doesn't make eye contact when he does. No sushi plates were given and when asked he handed us ginger plates instead. What is different and cool about this place is that there is floor dining in private tatami rooms.

I know this place is a staple and been here forever, and it shows. The food was fine. The place needs a makeover, like new carpet or at least take the old carpet out and a deep-clean.

Not sure when the new owners took over this place haven't been here for about for about 6 months but the food was delicious And I definitely would go back again. Service was a little bit slow they are short staffed. I was a bit disappointed with the chawan mushi thought it was a little bit on the dry side but everything else was delicious. Pricing is reasonable . I'm surprised they haven't raised their prices. I am glad I went back for another try.

First time going to this place...very delicious and fresh. Loved the tempura! Our hot green tea was very good and tasty...different from other places I have tried. Will be back...it takes a little to get your food but fresh food takes time. 👍

Their Shinano combination dinner is always our choice; it never disappoints us. This time we also tried their roasted brussel sprouts; they are delicious! We always place our order over the phone, and pick it up a few minutes later. Their customer service is always outstanding. Highly recommended.

Old school since 1977. I've been passing this place for years and finally stopped by to try the Sukiyaki. The interior takes you back decades and the staff comes with a smile.
