The only thing I didnβt like about this place is that I havenβt been here sooner. Everything from the food, the service and the outdoor seating was phenomenal. We tried a little bit of everything and everything was delicious. Going back very soon.

Incredible food, a wonderful staff, and a nice quiet place to eat. Shinsen was really great, and weβll be back. We took the short train ride up because weβd driven by it so many times, and it was incredible. The sausage robata was so flavorful and just a hint of spicy, the beef fried rice was the best Iβd ever tasted, and the shoyu ramen was fantastic. The staff were all very attentive and helped when I mentioned my allergies. Weβll definitely be backβ

We had a killer dinner at shinsen tonight. The place was completely moved and I couldn't understand why. It was my first time here. The food was just fantastic. It took a while because it was busy, but we were warned and waited patiently. I had the thin tamarind noodles. They came with some shrimp π¦ cooked in the shell. Which gives the dish the next level of aroma. Intensely flavorful and the right amount of spice. Also had the black widow roll with soft shell crab. Spectacular presentation and texture. Our server was super busy but very friendly and kind. Looks like they have sidewalk cafe in the summer too.

5 stars! I just had an amazing experience at this Japanese restaurant. The new Asian twist on classic dishes blew me away. The flavors were recognizable but with a fresh spin. The presentation was stunning and the cooking technique was on point. And the wine selection? Impressive! One of the best I've seen in a small restaurant. Can't wait to go back and try more!

The best place to eat in Evanston. We always take our friends from out of town here and they are impressed. Some from LA saying this is the best sushi theyβve ever had! What to order: ALL of the black rice rolls (Black Widow, Black Dragon, Black Hornet) are absolute perfectionβ even someone who doesnβt love sushi will be impressed. We love the creamy tom yum ramen and the fried rice (wagyu and shrimp are our favorites). All of the mocktails are also excellent. Weβve been coming here for over four years and the service is always extremely kind and attentive. Presentation is stunning.
