Shinwa Izakaya

Very nice food however I do not think the restaurant followed the social distancing guidelines. Tables were very close together and it didn’t look like they made any extra effort for cleaning. Waiters would lean in very close to us too

Food was nice, especially the spicy raw tuna roll. The service was unfortunately too frantic. Understanding it is COVID, however, the staff were running around in a rush and were very distracting. We understand business is a bit different, but believe no one wants to add pressure to your business to have everything out in seconds. Thank you for being open.

Our family enjoyed the yummy food and atmosphere very much.

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Had a great evening!

It was a lovely Sunday evening dinner, we will be back again!

Shinwa delivered the goods yet again! Another set of friends that were impressed by this place.

Wonderful interesting Japanese food. The atmosphere was great, loved that sitting at floor level was made easy. Drinks service was a little lost in translation, but overall a great experience.

Great atmosphere and prompt and friendly service. Nice food too.

Shinwa never disappoints! Food is always delicious and staff always lovely.

The food is fantastic, always fresh and delicious, no matter what you order. The service is friendly and attentive. I have been here many times, and love it. I highly recommend Shinwa

Sushi is absolutely beautiful. The sushi was fresh and super delicious.

We eat at Shinawatra regularly and the food is consistently good. We prefer to order our food in stages throughout the evening to have more control over when it is served as otherwise it can come all together or in an unexpected order. Ordering in stages also prevents over-ordering.

Always great, the food is consistently fresh and filling portions.

The food was lovely as always. We had udon noodle soup, several starters,, okonomiyaki (highly recommend this dish), futomaki roll and teriyaki salmon. All was delicious. Service was very quick.

Great food every time I’ve visited. Plus, they give free edamame as soon as you sit down!

Great food and service. Love the sunken tables. Friendly staff

The food is wonderful and the atmosphere in the front room is lovely. But! We were out in the back room, and having placed our order and then chatted for what we realised for about forty minutes before emerged food or a waitstaff materialised to ask them about it. They had not recorded:lost the order, and lost is too as we were out of sight ... we felt rushed to eat before the restaurant closed. There were kind apologies but nothing else. Again the staff were super nice but well you know ...

Great food, great service. Only issue is the food came out quite quick...felt a bit rushed

We’re family of 5 first time at this restaurant! Order so much food, expecting good food because the price wasn’t cheap! All the portions was tiny! Especially the STONE GRILLED PORK BRLLY from the main meal, we could really find 3 little pieces of pork(not even pork belly but thin slices of pork) and the rest of the on the plate was all chunks of cabbage!!! We notified the waitress and got ignored! The dish was $20 and all we got was CABBAGE! Honestly not even tasty! Was so dry! That was just example of 1 bad dish! The rest of the dishes was just as horrible! Not worth the money at all and the restaurant wasn’t even busy! Please train your staff to face and solve customer problems & train your chef how to cook! Or maybe management need to improve themselves because the quality of the food and service is unacceptable!

Awesome place, always come where when I feel like good Japanese food!

Staff were happy to stand around chatting, food was okay.

Service was friendly, atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious!

When I was there, the restaurant was really busy but I thought the service and the food was really good. For example when I entered, people greeted me straight away and guided me to a table, when we finished our bottle of water they gave us a new bottle within 10 seconds, which I thought was great.

Very good, but tuna Tataki was over cooked and way too much pepper seasoning on the outside. It was unbearable to eat

Food was OK. Service was pleasant Prices are very low

Excellent food and lovely staff. Our parents special night was a great success. Thanks

Brilliant food, pricy but worth it. Some more communication regarding waiting times between items arriving would be helpful.

All yummy - I especially enjoyed the sashimi, fried cheese, and tempura veg and prawn. Oh and the Shinwa cocktail!

I love going to Shinwa. The sushi selection is varied and delicious. I especially love the spicy tuna roll. The restaurant has a dark upbeat ambience, and it quickly fills up on Saturday’s nights. I would recommend booking I fb youvplan to visit

Waited too long for food. Ordered three dishes And only one arrives. Paid for the one And left. Not happy

Really tasty food, good portion sizes and quick, friendly service!

Always satisfied with the awesome service and food. Food comes quick, always fresh

Regular sushi go to place here and always satisfied with the food and service

Been dining here for a while now and always been happy and satisfied !!

Always love dining here. Service, food and atmosphere is great!! Sushi is a must try!!!

I love eating here, been a regular for over a year now! Sushi is a must try!

Bit disapppinting. Haven't been there for about 5 months. Service not as good as before

A lovely little place to enjoy a cosy friday night!

Food was amazing but service was very slow, and staff kept forgetting orders.

We were a party of eight and were originally seated in the back section, however the heating did not reach there and we were a little cold. The staff were super helpful and moved us into the front section once there was a free table. The food was excellent and prompt and not badly priced if you are going to share a few things. Will be returning for sure, will just bring a jacket!

Food and staff are great, Shame it’s so cold in there! Had to wear my coat throughout the meal.

I’ve taken many friends here and have been confident every time that they will enjoy it! Never a bad experience. My favourite Japanese restaurant!

Well treated by friendly staff. Prompt service and preparation of meals. Will dine there again!

Always quality delicious food and the staff are so friendly!

The food was absolutely delicious. Quite traditional Japanese dishes but all done to perfection with lovely flavours and textures. Nice atmosphere inside which was busy but not noisy. Service attentive and quick - we were dining with kids and so we were glad we didn’t have to wait.

The food here is absolutely delicious which is why we keep coming back. Service was excellent and very attentive. I really like the atmosphere - busy but not too noisy that we struggle to hear each other talking.

This is the second time I have been and it is by far the best Japanese outside Japan

Seating ok, expected seating arrangements to be a bit better as I booked 2 days prior and was expecting a table at the front of restaurant, not the large shared one. Food all good except the spicy chicken karaage was very dry and mostly batter, hardly any chicken. Have eaten at this restaurant many times so this was my first slightly negative eating experience but still happy overall

I booked this restaurant for my Birthday and despite some issues with the booking system we turned up and were given the only large table (at the back). The restaurant is cold and the back table has a strong cold draft coming from the back door. The floor was littered with chopsticks and napkins from the last day before. We ordered our food which took forever to come out and only turned up one or two plates at a time. At the same time heaps of Uber Eats orders were coming in and going out. The food is very tasty but a lot of our order was not provided and we ended up cancelling some food and leaving. This is the second time we have been to Shinwa and the last time was similar so we will not be going again.

Have been here a number of times. Food is very good. Matcha cheesecake and green tea ice cream was fab!
