Reviews for Shin's Sushi in San Luis Obispo, CA
Were there for lunch rush. Only 2 staff, 1 chef, 1 wait staff. Our food was served timely, and they were friendly. Even as busy... as they were, service was excellent. They are short staffed, so please keep that in mind and be kind. Read more
I got a popular roll - Fried California roll and it was really good. My friends got different rolls that were a little bland.... Staff was very helpful answering questions especially since I dont each sushi much. Read more
Sunday July 17 8:45PM Shin?s ?$h!+? Sushi! Are you jonesin? for a night of horrific service, disgusting food and sake slamming... chefs macerating your sushi and sashimi order with serrated knives, to the tune of $103.87 not to mention the frustration of anincomplete order, lukewarm ?HOT? sake, a dude wait staff that calls females ?guys? and who is so unaware of his tables that whena couple leaves after 15 minutes of being ignored and a group of three people walk out the door for the same reason he takes nonotice!!! Worse still another couple is seated at the table and NONE of the tableware is replaced with clean glasses ornapkins!!! If so, then SHIN?s is definitely the place for you!! UNDOUBTEDLY THE WORST SERVICE and WORST FOOD in SLO if not onthe Central Coast. After patiently waiting for 25 minutes for the Sapporo and ?HOT? sake that we ordered when we were seated wecaught the attention of the male server and asked if our beverages could be brought. The sake was unacceptably lukewarm so wecaught the male servers attention again and he took away the undesirable sake and brought a carafe of hot sake. He thennonchalantly turned to the table alongside ours and proceeded to take the order of the four people at that table who had arrived15 minutes after we entered!!!! My companion brought the incident to male waiter?s attention and he promised to place our orderahead of the other guests. After waiting another interminable period of time and while watching the chefs slam sake we queriedabout when our order of appetizers might arrive. The appetizers and certain items of the meal were doled out in confusingorder. Sadly the teensy weensy rectangle of rice under the shredded nigiri was puke worthy. The rice tasted like it had beencooked and then sat dehydrating in cold storage UNwrapped. We think the gyozo was from the frozen food section of Costco. It wasabsolutely not traditional gyozo. The nigiri appeared to have been butchered with a serrated knife. As Read more
Over priced, poor quality, so so service. I took one bite of the spicy tuna roll and had to send it back. I looked and tasted... like canned tuna mixed with spicy mayo nothing fresh about it. By far the worst sushi I've ever had. Read more
We only ordered the fried California Roll and it was so good. Excited to try their other rolls.
I am writing this after my second visit. I?m a creature of habit and will go to a place over and over again if I have a good... experience? that being said, the first time I was there, I was very pleased. I ordered the Fuji and fireball rolls then. Theytasted fresh and I loved them. We ordered for dine in and the service was great. Two weeks later I decided I wanted sushi buthad my infant child with me and didn?t want to dine in so I ordered to go. I ordered the exact same rolls, I enjoyed themimmensely the first time, why change it? I was sooooo disappointed when I opened my take out boxes. They smelled like they werevery much less than fresh. The spicy tuna was very obviously not fresh and appeared to be imitation spicy tuna. I was sad forwhat I paid and the fact that I couldn?t even finish the rolls. Sad day. Read more
Incredible value, taste and freshness for the price! This place is small but the quality is top notch. We had edamames, poke... bowls and a special cali roll. Everything came on time and with great portions. 100% recommended! Read more
I had the Ramen, it was okay. I think this restaurant has an opportunity to be great, but they try and do too much.
