    Had the pleasure of checking out Shinbashi this week! The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the service staff were knowledgeable, kind, and quick. We ordered a bunch of rolls and noodles, and also had everything gluten free as one member of our party has celiac's. The staff and kitchen easily accommodated to the gluten free dietary restriction, which is always nice!

    Really enjoyed eating here!! And our server Danielle was great! We had the pork fried rice, veggie lo mein, pineapple chicken, generals tso's chicken, beef and broccoli, and the coconut shrimp (my favorite!!!) And the kids had the chicken nuggets and fries. Every was actually quite tasty. We'd definitely go back if we are ever in the area again! (We were in the way out of Acadia). Out of the many many times I've eaten Chinese food, this was one of the top spots

    This is a solid choice for tasty Chinese food. Note, they also have sushi but I didn't try any. We stopped in for lunch. They have a nice selection of lunch specials, and you get kind of a bento box style with your choice of entree, pork fried rice, egg roll, fresh fruit, and appetizer. I think it was around $15.00. I had sesame tofu with crab Rangoon and my partner had sweet and sour chicken with chicken sticks. I tried a bit of everything and it was all good. The sweet and sour chicken was especially good. The sauce had a nice flavor with a bit of cinnamon in it. The crab Rangoon was fantastic, and so were the chicken sticks. I also appreciated the fresh fruit at the end of the meal. The interior was nicely decorated with good attention to design details and the bathroom was also nice and super clean. We will be back for sure.

    Food is excellent and they give huge portions. I have 2 dinners from my 1. Fruit in my dish is freshly cut and to die for. I absolutely love this place and is worth the 35 min drive for their delicious food. This is a must try and you'll be hooked. My favorite is the coconut shrimp.

    Pineapple chicken

    The restaurant itself is nice and clean. The staff were all very nice. Our server was very busy and hard to catch, even if she'd just put food on our table, to ask for silverware or a missing bowl of rice. The food was okay, but not great. The pineapple chicken was hard and stringy. Other dishes lacked flavor. I was so excited to see that had little dragon buns, which I confirmed with the server were Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings). What we received were definitely not Xiao Long Bao. The outside was wrong (fluffy, thick bao) and there was no soup. We got 3 big ones for $8. They were good steamed pork and vegetable buns, but not Xiao Long Bao. I love that Ellsworth has some decent Asian food, but it wasn't the quality I'm used to being from out of state.

    Fun bendy straws- so cute

    I cannot recommend this place enough! Myself and three other friends ate here for dinner and really enjoyed our meals and time there. I am Filipina and was hesitant as I'm very picky when it comes to Asian food but it did not disappoint whatsoever. Service was fantastic and the ambiance was so fun and comfortable. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box which was an amazing deal for all the food that it comes with. My friends ordered sushi, pad Thai, and the calamari salad which they all liked a lot. The portion sizes and their presentation make this place worth it alone. My friend requested her pad Thai to be spicy and she said the spice level was great. The Maine roll is a must order. Finally, the blueberry pie is amazing- they use a Chinese flour that makes the crust taste so good and a little different than your usual Maine pie! The owners are a couple and are truly the sweetest people. Thank you so much!

    Pork fried rice, heavy undertone of old oil and you can tell it's not fresh above is the Philly role it wasn't terrible.

    For appetizers we got crab rangoon and fried pork dumplings. They were decent and the fishbowl for 2 was pretty good but the orange chicken and pork fried rice left us very disappointed and gave us some indigestion almost immediately. We did not feel good. And we did not take more than a couple bites of the food. The chicken was very tough as if it were reheated. And the rice was extremely oily and had no other flavor. All we smelled and tasted is the cooking oil, as if it had been refried over and over again. Bottom line is that - in our opinion - this was NOT fresh or tasty food at all. We explore different Asian cuisines and restaurants very regularly, and this is NOT it.

    Spicy tuna roll, not spicy and rice was undercooked

The male server we had was very pleasant and on top of everything. Overall, the food was fabulous. Everything we had was vegan. To start we had the polenta fries which were good but needed salt and there was no salt at the table so that was a minus. I had the gnocchi with tofu, it was a generous portion with a nice presentation and the flavor came out beautifully once I got some salt on it. I really savored every bite of this meal. The side piece of bread was not served with any olive oil or vegan butter so that was a little disappointing. My partner had the vegan bean burger and he liked the flavor but it was very messy for him and he had a bit of trouble eating it neatly which made him not love his as much as I loved my plate. The fresh cut fries on the side of his plate were nice. To drink we both had a couple of utopia daiquiris, they were delicious and strong. Top notch. I took home the baklava (made with agave, not honey) and honestly it was the best I've ever had. It had a very nice salted caramel profile to it so I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great options for vegans on a date or just a nice comfortable meal for any occasion.

After tasting the soup I was sold. It was just as good as in Thailand, except I was in the air-conditioning this time. The owner and chefs are from Thailand. Absolutely fantastic. The curry was hot and had the perfect amount of spice. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I had a word with the owner who was very friendly and grateful for my visit.

I ended up gettin the mussels and scallop entree which paired together so well with the savory grits they come with. We also go the Tuna and Halibut specials and the steak frites which is always delicious. Amazing food as always. And our server Mark was super personable and fun we had a great time.

Exceptionally curated menu highlight classics like steak frites, comforts like shrimp and grits, and of course seasonal and local favorites like shrimp linguine, scallops and mussels. We got the Franny Bistro salad which was generously portioned: they did not skimp on the feta, bacon, or ripped/toasted focaccia. Husband got the ribs and slaw. Ribs were extremely tender and the Hoisin glaze was so savoury. I got the shrimp and grits, with good ratio of jumbo shrimp to sausage. The cheddar grits were perfectly done. Impressively personable service. We celebrated our anniversary and all three staff (host, primary waitress and food runner) all congratulated us. I think there were two primary servers and two runners that evening, but they were effortlessly moving about the room. I was very pleased with the timing of dishes and never felt like we were waiting or not being 'attended' to. Bonus: my husband and I were amongst the last patrons in the restaurant as it closed for the evening and got to meet Franny!
