Shinsen

Everything was ok, could not find something that stood out. The sashimi was fresh, but portions could possibly be bigger. Pork curry don felt like missing some depth of flavour. Eel dragon roll was good too. I'd come back to try other dishes to see if there are other surprises. But overall not a bad dining experience.

Take the time and read the reviews about the terrible customer service. This place is not worth the heartache you have to go through dealing with the waitstaff. Waited 45 minutes, food didn’t come and other people served food who ordered well after us. No explanation or apology. They clearly do not have any intention of fixing the waitstaff issues, just look at all the comments about the poor service. Do yourself a favour and go to Japan, because you will get your food quicker then going here. ✈️

Had a great experience at Shinsen Japanese Dining Bar with the kids. We had three of their lunch specials. Bento box portion was generous, sushi and sashimi was fresh and teriyaki chicken was nicely cooked. Given the difficulties businesses are having with staff shortages because of Covid/flu, I no longer expect all cafes and restaurants to run as smoothly as they did 3 years ago. Although they seemed a little light on floor staff, we were happy with the service we received today. We will definitely return to try the rest of their menu.

I live locally and I must say this place is one of my favourites! Amazing food, great selections, fresh ingredients, good service and BYO. The salmon volcano, tempura and chicken katsu roll are definite favourites. Portions are great too, they’re not overly big but very decent. You would leave the place feeling satisfied. Not to mention the great affordable pricing too.

Moderately priced for Japanese. The letdown was that they brought the entered and mains out at the same time, so the mains weren't hot by the time we ate them. It is easy to find street parking on Liverpool road even on weekend nights. The Gyoza had a nice outer coating and was the highlight. Good Eel dish. Volcano rolls were really nice
