" A fine dining experience! I didn’t know a hot stone steak could taste so good. Every bite was tender and flavorful! The ambiance stood out with the warm decor. I appreciate how the staff was attentive without being overwhelming. I would recommend it highly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly a hidden gem. I discovered it by accident but will be returning for sure! The hot rock cooking experience was fun, and the food was even more impressive. The staff made my meal feel special, and the value offered was outstanding for such quality. If you're in Evanston, don't skip it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Black Widow roll left me speechless! I couldn’t believe how unique and flavorful it was—definitely not your average sushi roll. I appreciate places that go the extra mile and make dining an experience. The interior is cozy yet modern, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. This place has made it to my list of favorites for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let's be real, the prices here can seem a bit steep at first glance. However, once you taste the quality of the food, you’ll realize it’s worth every penny! The sushi was prepared with premium ingredients, and the dishes are unique and creatively presented. Our server was very informative and helped us with recommendations. Will be coming back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stunning presentation and delicious food make Shinsen a top spot in Evanston. Their idea of a Japanese-Thai fusion is executed very well—didn’t know crispy salmon could be so good until I tried theirs! Good service, cozy ambiance, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone searching for quality sushi or fusion dishes. " (*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*)
