" Incredible sushi experience! The sushi here is the best I've had in California! Each piece of nigiri practically melted in my mouth. It is essential to reserve ahead, as they get busy—my friends and I were among the lucky few to snag a last-minute table. We also had some delightful sake to enhance the flavors of the meal. Highly, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the sushi at Shino, there were a few misses during our visit. Some rolls felt a bit flavorless compared to what I was expecting. The ambiance was lively, but the constant noise from the bar made it hard to enjoy a quiet dinner. I’ll likely give it another go, hoping for better luck next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an enjoyable dinner at Shino. The atmosphere has a nice low-key vibe which makes for a pleasant dining experience. I particularly enjoyed their unique rolls and the sake, though I felt the overall portions were a bit smaller than expected. Still worth a visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
