Very solid sushi and Japanese food joint - above average fish quality for a pretty good value (all things considered) What impressed me was the omakase, the fish was notably more flavorful and had higher fat content. Flavors and seasoning all balanced well, they put shiso leaf bits in between under the typically gamier fish and rice. Savory roe bits dot the top of some of the stronger tasting fishes. And 8pc were only $40. Salmon rolls (salmon salmon) and (orange ocean) were both good. Nice citrus hit in orange ocean but doesn't overpower - salmon salmon roll had good crisp and umami from the fried skin. The sashimi platter was solid - nothing that blew my mind but it was pretty good quality fish, only minor complaint was it was cut into oddly shaped chunks and not consistent in texture between each bite Also they gave a LOT of plum wine, not skimpy at all!
Cute little space in the plaza. Order from the app and they bring out- be careful to order from 1 mobile if there is one bill, but can order from different phones to have separate bills if needed. They can combine but can get messy if they are busy of course. Parking - shared lot, can get busy! Bathroom- looks like single occupant bathroom towards the back of kitchen. Noticed it said dogs are allowed- they are not allowed (outside of service animals) - no outdoor seating or anything. Fish quality was good! We had a variety of things- I didn't take a pic of the chirashi but it was good! The only thing I wouldn't order again is the bluefin toro uni handroll with fried bits- it tasted a little stale to me and it was served a little late as the seaweed was more on the soggy side. The downside of going when it's busy so keep that in mind~
Located in a plaza where parking can get pretty full, but if you circle around a bit you can usually find a spot. The interior decor is fun but elevated and gives the place its own personality. The servers were really nice. The highlight though: The fish here was super fresh, especially the tuna, which really stood out. Overall, the quality felt noticeably better than a lot of other sushi spots I've tried in the Bay Area. I will definitely be back :)
This unassuming restaurant located in a 2-story food building was a great find. We've walked passed by it before heading to the other restaurants but never chose it. It was our 2nd choice even today but that's going to change! We had the lunch specials: Salmon Teriyaki, Chicken Terriyaki, & Tonkatsu. We also decided to add-on the lunch special sides: tempura, salmon skin roll, & a California roll. For the price, it was an easy choce to makr. We didn't expect the sides to be full portions! The lunch plates came with miso soup, salad, & rice. I don't know how to describe it but the miso soup was super flavorful! It's the best I've had especially as part of a set meal. It set the tone for the rest of the dishes. The portions were generous for a lunch set meal & they were very delicious. The server was friendly, too. When we were selecting sides, he suggested that we choose three different items & told us his fave. He was right. This can be our next fave Japanese place. We may need to try the other sushi & sashimi items next time.
We stopped by after craving some sushi and found that they offered an omakase set that was pretty inexpensive. After looking at the menu, we decided to go for the nigiri premium set and the premium hand roll set. We also ordered the deep fried octopus legs! It was lightly deep fried with a tempura coating, and served with a slice of lemon for taste and this seasoned mayo sauce on the side. Upon arrival, we were luckily seated quite fast despite having 2 parties of 4 waiting for seats. Lucky us! The service was very attentive throughout the night as well. Overall, shinkai sushi is such a solid sushi place. It being so close to us, we'll most likely find ourselves here whenever we're craving sushi again. 5/5 for being to make your own hand rolls in their premium set!
Was in the area looking for dinner and a Tesla charger and sure enough, there is one nested right next to this sushi spot! We did have great sushi here, our only complaint was the table not getting bussed at all, and them not really returning. But, BUT, the sushi here was pretty damn good, especially the nigiri and even more specifically the tuna. They DO NOT play around with the amount of fish they stack on the nigiri, and all of the sushi was fresh and tasty. One thing I would avoid is the popcorn chicken / karaage. As great as the sushi was the karaage was admittedly tasteless, not even salt. This would benefit a ton from maybe some 5 spice.
i've been loving these sushi boxes that are not only beautiful but also tend to have a couple of my favorite fish/seafood. This one is a little cheaper than most places in the south bay. Scallop, salmon belly, and tuna belly were all seared and tasted great. They gave TONS of seaweed, and I loved both the fresh wasabi, the kizami wasabi, and the sushi rice. 50/50 roll was simple but delicious. Also tried yellowtail collar for the first time and that was just ok not sure if i'd get again
Why 4 stars? It stinks that they repeat nigiri pieces which should never be the case. AND TWICE!! So I had 4 pieces of two fishes (that I didn't even ask for/for it to happen). Additionally, the fish had a ton of chewy tendon. Likewise it was strange that wasabi wasn't instantly included in the nigiri as this is the traditional standard in Japan... with the question of "Wasabi, OK?" Lunch sets are kind of sad... one main course, salad with heavy dressing, miso soup, and rice. There wasn't any fruit or pickles. Tonkatsu as the main course wasn't light and fluffy but instead dry and over seasoned (one can tell it's been in the fridge marinating in salt and pepper for too long). Prime set: I'm glad I ordered this instead of the standard due to the unagi roll vs California roll (although the unagi had a ton of bones). Again, disappointed with the repeated fish. Appreciate the well constructed/well mixed sushi rice and for providing fresh wasabi (which is an extra $2 on the side!). ***didn't make me sick afterwards which I tremendously appreciate*** SERVICE: hahaha my secretiveness of speaking in Mandarin was immediately broken by the server who responded in Mandarin. Service more or less attentive... definitely needed to grab ahold of their attention. Different servers were tasked with different jobs so you frequently saw someone different. AMBIENCE: Causal dining. Great for large groups (though they do start adding gratuity above a certain number of individuals) since they don't seem to kick you out if you want to sit and chat. Yes it's delicious Yes it's well constructed Yes it's ran by the Chinese and NOT the Japanese Located in a plaza with a private parking lot.
This restaurant has changed owner a few times and we used to love the Yakitori West but since they closed, the subsequent restaurants were bad. So happy that this one finally made it! The food was good and reasonably priced for lunch. Service was good and ambience was good too, conducive for socializing. Will be back for sure!
First timer here. My fiance decided to treat me to sushi as we haven't had any quite some time. To start, salted edamame on the house is what I've grew up being used to, and seems like a lot of places don't do anymore. Shinkai does-- automatic plus for me. I ordered the Sushi Crafter Box and salivated as it being walked over to my table. It looked so satisfying that I didn't even want to dig in. But of course I had to. It was incredible! I normally don't love fatty tuna because the texture can be inconsistent and veiny but it was soft and not veiny at all! My fiance ordered 2 rolls, and a sashimi appetizer and loved it all. We were able to share everything we ordered and both left very satisfied. The service was fantastic, waters being refilled without having to ask and the restaurant was clean. It is a bit small unfortunately but that's just to say, expect wait times! read more
Food? Amazing!! I definitely found a new go-to sushi spot in the East Bay. I loved how vast their menu was and how fresh the sushi actually tasted. We ended up coming a second time later in the week for takeout when it wasn't as busy as the day we decided to stop by. Some highlights: + Salmon Salmon! ($17): As a salmon lover, this roll was literallyyyy perfect. It had salmon skin, salmon, and salmon roe. The sushi was well constructed and tasted great. + Kaisen Don: SUCH amazing quality!! I loved how buttery the uni was and how light the scallop was especially. I'm also a sucker for seared salmon so this was just great all around. Our food came out fairly quickly which was greatly appreciated after a long wait. The main con of our experience -- we visited for a Father's Day dinner and were the second party on their whiteboard waitlist, but we still ended up waiting a little over an hour for a table. Unfortunately, our name got erased from the waitlist twice due to staff mix-ups. Since most parties were waiting outside, we had one person from our group waiting inside to listen for our name. * The first time, I think the server mistook us for another party and erased our name. We let him know and he let us rewrite our name in it's original place. * The second time, he called our party's name, erased us from the board, and our friend immediately went outside to bring the rest of us inside. Before we could all walk in, another party of 6 (whose name was actually below ours on the waitlist) walked in first. We let the server know they weren't with us, but instead of acknowledging the mix-up, he said they had a reservation - even though he had just called our party's name and removed us from the waitlist. We ended up having to rewrite our name on the whiteboard, and there was never an apology for either mix-up. I think the process could've been handled much better by confirming which party was actually being seated instead of only calling names to people waiting inside, especially since most guests were waiting outside. -- Overall, I think the food was amazing but it was unfortunate that the service wasn't as great as expected. Understandably, it was a busy day but I hope they're able to find better ways to manage their waitlist and seating process during peak hours. read more
Tucked inside a strip mall, this is a small sushi restaurant. Call in ahead if your group is larger than 4 people. Menu is pretty big for a small operation. Our group order udon for the kids, a few rolls, an unagi don, a few nigiri orders, and a few of the sashimi sampler boxes. The food was ok and served our cravings. The sampler boxes were big enough for one hungry adult or two adults to share. The unagi don was the smallest don I've ever seen and for $25 it felt overpriced. The rolls were comparable to any other restaurant. The host and waiter were friendly and took our orders and brought out water and tea quickly. Our server on the other hand had this look of disdain. When we asked for a fork for the kids or more ice for water, he looked rather annoyed. read more

This sushi place is a cozy restaurant that is a bang for your buck. Their portion size is crazy and all the fish is served fresh! From the two times we came here (since we're coming from San Jose) we ended up eating with our eyes. The staff was nice and everything came out very fast. Usually our favorite fish would be the tuna or salmon, however the hamachi here is one of the best hamachis we ever had. It's very lean yet still juicy with no fishy aftertaste. Same goes for the tuna and salmon, both had no fishy aftertaste with a beautiful bright color to them. Both of these fish was very butter and soft. The California roll was creamy and flavorful. The size of it was HUGE. A California at any restaurant is a must for us and this is one of our favorite California rolls. read more

Overall the food was pretty good. There was plenty of parking. Service was okay. It did take a while for us to order and at the end get a check. The ambiance is nice. I've been here throughout 3 iterations of restaurants, so it's interesting to see the changes. The Chicken teriyaki was unfortunately too dry. My brother and his wife used the term 'jerky-like' constantly. I tried a piece, it was overcooked. The teriyaki sauce was just soy sauce. No depth of flavor. Kinda plain. The sushi was better. The Unagi Don was pretty good. Portion size was normal. Overall, average. read more
First and foremost, I want to say that I chose this place from the recommendations of my fellow yelpers. This place was amazing, and I have been here 3 times in 1 week. Lol. As soon as we walked in, we could tell that it was a little warm inside, but it was okay. If I was going to dock them a point for anything, it would have been that. However, the customer service and the quality of the food made everything worth it. I forgot all about AC once i sat down. On 3 different days, we have 3 different servers and all of them delivered impeccable service to say the very least. Our water glasses were never empty and the food was DELICIOUS. We got a little bit of everything since we couldn't make up our minds. And Shinkai DELIVERED! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. This will be our new sushi spot! I recommend everyone try this establishment. I know you wont be disappointed! Side note: they play excellent music while you're dining! Also - get the orange ocean roll (something with the word zest in it) and the mango crunch roll thats seasonal. DELICIOUS! Oh, and ANY handball. Chefs kiss read more
In the mood for some sushi but couldn't bear the long wait a Kura, we found ourselves here for dinner. It's in the Ulfert's Center and we were thankful we were able to be seated immediately. It's a bit small inside but it was just fine. Between the three of us we got a chirashi don and 3 rolls- Rainbow, Salmon Salmon, and Orange Ocean. Average price these days for the rolls ($16-17) and the chirashi ($30). Overall a decent experience. The fish seemed fresh and the prices are reasonable. I just wished there was less soy sauce drizzled onto a couple of the rolls- the bottom of the roll really absorbed a lot of it and made it a bit too salty for my taste. There are other places in the area we like better for sushi but they are more expensive so this seems to be a good balance of quality and pricepoint. read more

Another lunch meet with my friend. We decided to have lunch here since it was too hot to have some soup. This is a nice spot for Japanese food but my only complaint would be how loud the music was. For some reason this is the second restaurant I've been to in Dublin where the music was kind of loud inside. Is this a trend now? For food, my friend ordered one of the sushi rolls. I believe it was the rainbow roll. For my mom and I we both got the salmon teriyaki. This is must for me whenever I try a new Japanese restaurant. Portions here seem to be small side but the food tasted good. Overall, food was good and service was nice and friendly. read more
Long overdue review. Came here for dinner for a date night on a Saturday in July. We were surprised it was quite packed at 6pm. The restaurant seems quite tight. Very close to the next table. We got mostly nigiri and some appetizers. Everything was ok, but nothing wowed us. Maybe we will come back for lunch for lunch special . read more
Solid spot for sushi! The service was excellent as well. I had the; Chirashi bowl- Delicious assorted fish with equally delicious sushi rice. The rice had the perfect amount of vinegar added in and the fish was oh so smooth and soft. Tasted like it literally came fresh out of the waters. Sake Toro- Salmon belly and roe hand roll. Super delicious. The roe added a nice touch of flavor to the salmon and rice. It added a different savory-ness that complemented every component of the roll really well. Hokkaido Scallop- The scallop was probably my favorite out of everything I ate. I thought the salmon belly was soft, but the scallop? Imagine biting into a soft flan. This was how the texture tasted like. Absolutely marvelous. All in all, I would definitely come back to try everything else. Especially the handrolls! read more
My friend and I decided to come here and have dinner, they were not busy but soon a lot of people came. Soft shell crab was really good, crunchy and taste great! My friend likes it too. Lion king was good, big portions and there's a lil kick of spice but I was able to handle it, I asked to not put it but I know they got busy so it's okay.. my friend got chicken teriyaki and it was delicious!! For the edamame was sweet and really good! We will come back to try different food. Service was great, very accomplished and they refill our water and check on us too. The place is dark but it was clean and organized. There are few tables inside. It was a good experience! read more

This restaurant is a gem. Greeted promptly by the server and then he noticed our table was not balanced so quickly fixed the issue. We opted to go with the lunch menu and a huge surprise on the portions of the salmon plate and tempura don (tempura over rice). I have never been able to find a restrauant that served tempura don anywhere so was so happy to discover this place. We will definitely go to this one again. read more

Don't Judge a Sushi Spot by Its Storefront (5/5 Stars) From the outside, this place might look like just another sushi joint tucked into a mall. But don't be fooled. This spot is a hidden gem for anyone who loves fresh, high-quality seafood. We ordered the Shinkai Omakase, and it was absolutely delicious and only $39! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly portioned over just the right amount of rice, and paired with freshly ground wasabi. I devoured it in no time. We also tried: * Oyster Uni Shot - $13 for 2: briny, creamy, and packed with flavor. * Ankimo Uni Bite (2 pcs) - $18: rich and buttery, a must-try for uni lovers. * Whole Grilled Squid - tender and smoky. * Miso Soup - classic and comforting. Every single item was something I'd happily order again. I'm already planning to come back with more friends who appreciate great uni and top-tier fish. The service here was also great! read more

Happy to see good sushi offerings in this spot. Ordered Omakase nigiri, sashimi sampler, Chu-toro and Oyster uni shots. All very good. Fresh fish and decent cut size. Waiters and chef were friendly and pleasant. Cozy seating which could be limiting for large groups. No sushi bar seating. We got stuck behind a group order and waited 30-45 min for our first order to be served. Otherwise a good experience and looking forward to trying again. read more

I came to Shinkansen Sushi twice in one week. The first visit was with a friend--we'd already had a snack before dinner, so we kept it light with a 50/50 roll, hamachi kama, and miso soup. It was good enough that I found myself craving more and decided to come back for my birthday to try their sushi properly. Come see the manager, Ken--he's welcoming and attentive. My spouse mentioned it was my birthday, and Ken immediately said he'd bring out a little surprise. We ordered the tonkatsu (which comes with miso soup), two different toro specials, a traditional sushi roll, and I went for their special omakase. It absolutely satisfied my birthday craving. The sushi grade is not over‑the‑top premium, but it's a solid staple--easy, convenient, and reliably hits the spot for flavor, portion, and price. The rice is made with vinegar, the way sushi rice should be. And thank you to Ken for the birthday dessert: a matcha cheesecake that was tasty and not very sweet. In Asian culture, when someone says a dessert isn't sweet, that's a compliment of the highest order. Solid tip and what they do right: order regular sushi you get regular wasabi. Order the specialty or premium sushi you get the premium fresh wasabi! I'm not hating as it is tough on business costs. Support your favorite stable local restaurants. If you want a place you can keep coming back to and truly enjoy, your support matters--it's what keeps these businesses alive. A solid spot with warm service, thoughtful touches, and food that keeps you returning. read more
I just randomly picked a sushi place for lunch. Came across this highly rated sushi place and wanted to try. I was glad that I came. ;) I ordered 1) Ikura nigiri: very fresh and sweet, 4/5; 2) Hotategai nigiri: lightly sweet, 3.5/5, 3) Toro with Uni nigiri: tasty and sweet, 4/5, 4) California roll: fresh, 3.5/5, and 5) Tempura udon: the batter for the tempura is good, 3.5/5. I told the server that the table had soy sauce on it. He just wiped it using his fingers and said that he will come back to clean the table but he was too busy and forgot about it. Other than that, the server is attentive and apologized that they are short of staff. I love the food that I ordered. The service can be better. I will come back to try other sushi. Overall, I will recommend this place to people who love sushi. read more

My daughter and I were looking for a good omakase to celebrate her birthday and little did we know we had one close by. I thought we would have to go to SF or SJ but when I searched online, Shinkai came up. So we tried it out and we're so happily surprised at the quality of the sashimi, nigiri and the portions that we knew we found out new "go to" for sushi in the tri-valley. The restaurant is small but there are many tables and ample free parking. The Ulferts center in Dublin has such a nice selection of restaurants and Shinkai is a gem here. They have two omakase sets and a sake flight that are such good deals. It's a great place for a casual dining experience and many families come here also. They even have black sesame ice cream! Give this place a try if you haven't already.... It can get busy but the food quality is worth the wait! read more

Updating my review to 5 stars! I've been back several times since my first visit and service is always attentive. Love all the fresh sushi and I've tried a few rolls. Delicious and highly recommend Shinkai! read more
This sushi spot was a spur of the moment find and I've since bookmarked on my Yelp account as one of my favorite Japanese restaurant. Parking: shared lot with other businesses. There are plenty of spots available. Ambiance: clean modern interior with table seating. This spot can be for a friend/family gathering and even for a date night. Service: above average. I've visited this restaurant twice and never had to wait. Order to food arrival time is reasonable and the staff usually refills our tea and water without being asked. Food: 4.5/5. This is a solid sushi spot. They don't have a huge selection of rolls but with the items they do serve, the quality is excellent. Fish is fresh and the rolls look very pretty. During our first visit, we ordered the chirashi don, a hellboy roll and the orange ocean roll. The portion size was generous and we had nothing but praises for the food we ordered. Cost: $. The establishment offers free edamame and either hot tea or water upon being seated. The prices are very affordable for the quality of food you are getting. Will I return? Definitely. read more

first tjme ever going and went after it opened up again around 5-530. was already getting pretty packed and busy. had high hopes from the amount of people in there. wasnt really comfortable with how close the seating was but it was a small restaurant in general. they offer tea and water once you are seated and edamame is served on the house. ordered lion king, patrick star and hellboy and my boyfriend and I's favorite was the hellboy. at one point before i began eating, one of the servers bumped into my arm slightly and apologized numerous times after i said it was fine then offered free miso soup. i think that is good service even though i didnt really mind since it didnt bother me as much as he thought it did. menu is pretty small but the rolls were pretty good read more
Had a mini Friendsgiving dinner at Shinkai Sushi last week and had some of the best sushi. We got there around 6pm on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and only had to wait 10 mins, there were 7 of us so it wasn't too bad of a wait. The food was really good! The staff were nice, the restaurant was very clean and our food came out pretty fast. There's plenty of parking here so no need to worry about that. read more
Interior was nice and service prompt. Happened to be in Dublin during the heatwave and this spot hit the spot! Service was incredibly kind, they have hot tea (free!) and ice water. The edamame they have is also free! Little things that make the experience nice. We ordered an assortment of items: - Lion King Roll - Handrolls (2) Negi Toro and Salmon - Rainbow Roll They were all delish, the wasabi they used for the handrolls were really good. Reminded me of a handroll spot I went to in NYC and that's a high praise surprised to find this in Dublin!! We also brought some musical instruments with us and had special spots in the corner -- which was much appreciated. Payment was quick and we used square to checkout read more
