Can't say enough about this place. The sushi was fantastic. The appetizers were spot on. The service was outstanding. Great job Olga. And I am a little shocked about other reviews. There were a few about a 20% gratuity added on and that is not the case at all. Such a great couple that own the place. The story is fantastic. If you get a chance to see some Magic I am sure you will see the special part of this restaurant that everyone needs to see! Just ask if Tim is around for a magic trick!!
I gave it another shot. Met my girlfriend here on a nice rainy day. Always love the sushi. It's very fresh. Tried the shrimp and vegetable tempura again and it was perfect. I do love the buy one get one free beer & hot sake at happy hour, and the ambience is top-notch. Now if they would just add some kind of food to the happy hour menu, I would be back more often than twice a year. Allandra was our server & she was great!
Service was friendly and attentive. Infused with technology and fun in their table side service, which adds value to the whole dining experience. Before I walked in, I presumed this might be a place for beers and drinking. Then I was surprised and satisfied with the quality of food and it's delicious flavor! Good bang for your buck too. It's the new management and obviously they are not only an enthusiast for high-tech, but also a creative brainer! Love the Ghost Dip and their nigiri combo -- Fresh and quality fish on top of the fancy way that the sushi and nigiri are delivered by a robot There is private parking in the plaza. Another reason to go for when you visit Hollywood! 鬼才沾麵~ 很有創意哦!握壽司的部分也處理得很好;我喜歡他米飯少少,但魚肉的很新鮮,醬汁不會搶味,整體很平衡。
Shin never disappoints, and today marks my 10th official check in, and maybe 100th visit over 8 years, so I've I've proudly earned the title "Duke of SHIN," an official Yelp designation, signifying more than just regular patronage, some may say I might be an addict of their quality ramen and sushi, but no intervention needed yet! Starting off, their innovative approach includes a robot that delivers sushi-- always fun to watch. The ambiance is ever-improving, contributing to an enjoyable experience every time. The staff consistently provides top-notch service paired with exceptional food. Tim, the owner, has a soft spot for regulars. Show your support, and he's sure to treat you well. Sometimes, I swing by just for a beer and an appetizer when in the area. Speaking of conveniences, the "Hollywood Shin" app is fantastic for takeout or delivery orders. It offers points, free appetizers, and other perks. Plus, if you work in Hollywood, mention it to Tim for some extra special bonus.
There's limited parking around this restaurant. We walked so it wasn't an issue. Servers are friendly and attentive, they give you hot towels to wipe your hands which is cool. Pesto pasta - 5/5 the texture of the noodles are firm which I love and the pesto sauce goes well with the noodles Crispy rice spicy tuna - 3/5 the extra crispiness on the rice felt a little off but flavor was good Double spicy yellowtail - 4/5 this roll was super yummy. Perfect for those who love hamachi. I would take the garnish off cuz it didn't add much to it. Vegetable tempura - 4/5 comes with 2 pieces of shrimp, carrot, zucchini, and pumpkin, lotus root. Everything was great but the lotus root was a bit too firm making it hard to chew.
Honestly one of my favorite places in hollywood! Parking- they have a small private lot in the front which is super convenient if you can score a spot otherwise it's all street metered parking. Service- one of the reasons I'll always be a regular customer because their service is attentive and friendly! Their staff is truly amazing and a rare thing nowadays especially in La! Food- soooo sooo good!! If you love sushi this place is a hidden gem!
I've lived across the street for 8 months and finally got around to trying this spot out! I am extremely impressed as I got takeout and the quality was still top notch. Ordering online was fast and easy and they even have a rewards program! What I got: Pork bun 9/10 - very tasty, good cut of pork, a little too much mayo for my liking Spicy tuna roll 10/10 - very fresh and good portion. Delicious! Tonkotsu shio ramen 9/10 - amazing flavorful broth that isn't too salty. Good size cut of chashu. Loved the thick noodles. Seasoned egg was perfectly flavored and cooked well. Just wish the toppings portions were slightly larger. Parking is limited but lucky me I can walk over. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Solid ramen (definitely not traditional Japanese, though) and plenty non-pork based choices. The parking is a bit of a gamble, since they share it with quite a few other businesses, but we managed because we came during slow dining hours. Their takoyaki is SUPER crispy and they keep their hot sake in a water bath at your table to maintain its temperature. The restaurant itself is pretty clean (I think they've renovated quite a bit, based on previous reviews), and the service is efficient.
It was easy to make a reservation on Open Table for Shin and when we got in on an early Saturday evening, it was not too crowded and the service was excellent from the moment we walked in. We were greeted and as soon as we sat down, warm hand towels were offered to wipe our hands which was a nice touch. The service was super friendly and attentive and quick. The food was really excellent and reasonably priced. There are TVs within view of all the seats which were also nice for sports fans who don't want to miss a game too. We loved our experience and would definitely want to come back again, just check these pics out for the mouth watering goodness we had! ----TL;DR---- PROS: awesome service, great food and large selection, easy to make a reservation CONS: limited parking (but we walked so it was not a big deal) BOTTOM LINE: great place for a variety of tastes for everyone. The yakitori was spot on and the sushi super fresh.
