Shunsai

Visited for the first time. Restaurant is compact, 6 bar seats and 12 table seats with 2 wait staffs. Ordered the $130 sai course. I had high expectation because of the high price tag and boy they did not disappoint me. From snacks to the dessert, I love every single dishes. It reminds of the set dinner you get from a ryokan in Japan. I love that salmon is not included in the sashimi nor in the sushi, just getting a bit sick of salmon. The scallops and bamboo dish is memorable. It was the first time I had fresh bamboo shoot. It was a full house on a Saturday night but I didn’t not have to wait long for the foods. Each dish is served in a comfortable pace. Staffs are very friendly and polite. There is no time limit on the table, so there is no pressure to leave. It's inevitable for me to compare Shunsai to other Japanese restaurants which serve similar style of food and at a similar price point, like Sono. Sono's decor maybe a bit fancier but Shunsai serves much better foods. Haven’t had such a good Japanese food for a long time, not a cheap dinner but I’m very happy and satisfied. 100% will come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was amazing exprience. I and my partner went to this restaurant for our anniversary. I wanna give 10/10 points that especially Wague and Sushi was fantastic.

This small boutique Japanese restaurant offers a unique and authentic experience. The lunch menu offers a $30 chirashi set which includes dessert, or you could include an appetizer for a little extra. What is great about the chirashi set is that they include uncommon sashimi items in their dish including sea urchin, salmon belly, scallops and I believe something that tastes like cod. The set comes with miso soup as well. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant had a very traditional Japanese ambience. The lunch menu is very reasonably-priced. They do offer more fancier options at $170 pp though. Might be willing to give it a try another time. Overall, highly recommended.
