Shinsei Restaurant
Shinsei Restaurant is a Traditional Sushi Bar with a Pan-Asian kitchen.
When we came up with the concept of Shinsei we wanted a place that reflected our lifestyles: sometimes we went out to dinner with our kids and sometimes with our friends and husbands. We wanted to create a place where a night out with the kids didn’t mean food adults had to suffer through or a night out with the parents didn’t mean a stuffy place where kids had to wear a scratchy clip-on tie. Shinsei is just that: a neighborhood gathering place with date night appeal.
Our food is electrifying. But not so unexpected that you won’t be able to decipher the menu or recognize your favorite dish. Never boring, yet comforting at the same time. Our signature poppers, for instance, are a sophisticated mix of late night bar food and sumptuous finger food with a distinctly Asian flair.

"We went to Shinsei to celebrate a friend's birthday and couldn't have had a better experience. The restaurant was so accommodating to our party. The service was top notch and our waiter was patient and and made recommendations. Our food came out to us in a fair amount of time even though the place was full. The food was really nicely prepared and reasonably priced.
Highly recommended!"

"We went to Shinsei for our anniversary. Food was terrific...and the blood orange margarita is a must. The only complaint was that it took about 5 to 8 mins for the server to greet us and take our drink order. After that though, she was very attentive and the service matched the quality of the food... Which was outstanding."

"Server (Alyssa) was wonderful and very chatty and helpful. Food is always wonderful there. Check in people can be a little stiff - overall though - a great place - one of the best restaurants in Dallas."

"Wonderful food, the sushi was all very very fresh and innovative! The banana parfait was fabulous! The service, however, was a bit lacking. 3 tables around us were waited on and food delivered before our waitress even brought our appetizer. Near impossible to track down our waitress....but as soon as a choptick took the last piece of sushi someone was there to clear the plate....literally before it was in my mouth."

"While the food is excellent, the service was terrible on a Sat nite. I am never going back there on a weekend.
Waiter tried to memorize complete order for 4 people but had to be reminded twice of something he forgot. Also the waiter gave us a bill before asking us if we wanted dessert. He oftern disappeared for 15 mins not to be seen anywhere. Worst experience I have had at Shinshei."

"Excellent restaurant! The coconut fried chicken tenders are delicious and something everyone should try. The rest of the food was also very tasty. The service and ambiance are also great. I had heard exceptional things about Shinsei and I was not disappointed. I am glad I was able to dine there while visiting Dallas."

"Excellent meal and dessert! Great place to catch up with friends. The only negative is parking at lunchtime is next to impossible. There is no valet on duty for lunch. I would definitely come back at dinnertime, but not for lunch."
