Shinsei Restaurant

Shinsei is my favorite restaurant every time I'm in Dallas! The atmosphere is incredible, the service is consistently outstanding, and the menu is so unique. I honestly haven't had a single thing I didn't love. I have both an egg and nut allergy, and the staff always goes above and beyond to accommodate my dietary restrictions. It means so much to be able to enjoy an amazing meal knowing they take my allergies seriously. If Cisco is working, we always ask to sit in his section. He knows the menu inside and out, gives excellent recommendations, and truly makes every guest feel taken care of. He works so hard to make sure everyone has an incredible dining experience. The sushi rolls are all fantastic, and I also highly recommend the scallops and the Thai fried rice (made without egg for my allergy). And of course, we never leave without getting the cotton candy! Thank you to the entire Shinsei team for consistently going above and beyond to create such a memorable dining experience. Every visit reminds me why this is my favorite restaurant in Dallas!

Shinsei was so freaking good—one of those meals where every single thing we ordered was a hit. We started with the house hot sake and a lychee martini, which were both great and the perfect way to kick off the meal. The absolute star of the night for me was the wagyu dumplings with truffle. They were to die for—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with that amazing truffle aroma. I could have eaten two more orders of those alone. If you’re a sashimi lover, you have to get the chef’s choice sashimi. It was a beautiful, fresh sampling of different cuts and flavors and easily enough for two people to share. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We also ordered the spicy garlic noodles, which had amazing flavor and just the right amount of heat, and the hot rock wagyu, which was such a fun and delicious experience cooking it right at the table. On top of that, we tried a couple of rolls and they were phenomenal as well—super fresh and packed with flavor. Overall the food was outstanding across the board. Everything tasted high quality, the presentation was great, and the whole experience just felt special. If you’re looking for incredible sushi and Japane

I love Japanese food and have tried it in many countries, including Japan itself. This restaurant is truly delicious — fresh and authentically Japanese. The only small difference is the wasabi, wasn't as spicy. Overall, it’s excellent! The staff are friendly, attentive, and always smiling. We’ll definitely be back again! 🍣✨

A hidden gem for sure, I've lived in Dallas all my life and was amazed I have never dined at this beautiful place. The lighting, decor and music, all add a great experience with friends, my only issue was how close all the tables are. Gives a bit of tension between tables, but still the ambience is beautiful. KC was spectacular! He was humorous, well versed in the menu, the manager was very attentive and we had the pleasure of having one of the assistant servers bring us a soy Chile sauce, which was delicious with any sushi roll! Four of us dined and had a great spread, but the main dish, the Chile and Tempura whole Red Snapper is a must! The noodles and sauces served, are enough for us to dine, even if you only have that for your dinner you'll be extremely impressed. Definitely recommend for client dinners, a lovely anniversary or just a great date night!

The best thing was the hustle of the busboy upstairs. The worst was an overworked bar tender that was our waiter who couldn't care enough to listen to our drink order and get it right. Food was fine. Its loud upstairs and we were next to three kids birthday parties. Awesome for them, not great for us. I could not recommend unless your wife really wants sushi. Then it's good, and go.
