" The service was friendly, and the place has such a cozy charm. The dishes were well-prepared, especially the sushi. However, I felt the portion sizes could be improved, as I was still hungry after my meal. Overall, a pleasant experience but with room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to sushi places, Shinsen really knocked it out of the park for me. I'm a fan of quality over quantity, and they delivered with exceptional taste. The nigiri was fresh, and the fish melted in the mouth. Good ambiance and enthusiastic staff. This will be my go-to when I'm craving sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very enjoyable! I had been hearing good things about this place, and it met my expectations. The fried rice is definitely a must-try, and the service was friendly and quick. The only downside was that it was a bit crowded, making it slightly difficult to have a conversation. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend Shinsen! The sushi rolls were fantastic, and I loved the ambiance. I felt like I was transported to Japan for a moment. Every detail was considered, and it shows. Definitely worth a visit if you're searching for an authentic sushi experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I went for a dinner party and we were blown away by the service and food selection. I particularly loved the shrimp shallot fried rice, which had the perfect crunch and a smooth finish. The vibe is perfect for a casual outing but could also work for a date night. I also enjoyed the BYOB aspect; it adds a fun twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a solid meal here last weekend. The portion sizes were decent—nothing to complain about! The food was tasty, especially the crispy salmon. However, I think they can improve their ramen; it didn’t quite meet my expectations. The environment is pleasant, perfect for a laid-back dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Shinsen offers a delightful mix of flavors from its Japanese-Thai fusion menu. The staff were courteous and responsive, and the vibe was perfect for a date. I love that they don’t charge for BYOB, making it a great option for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)
