Shinsen is a restaurant that offers a unique fusion of Japanese and Thai cuisines. The Spicy Creamy Tom Yum Noodle soup is a must-try, with its rich and tangy broth, and the right amount of heat. The Yakiniku don and Yakitori Don are also popular, with a savory-sweet sauce that ties everything together. The Beef Tongue is a more adventurous choice, with a unique texture and flavorful marinade.
The garlic fried rice with wagyu, served in a stone bowl, is another standout dish, with a pleasant garlic flavor and crunchy caramelized rice. The Shallot Fried Rice with shrimp is also a favorite, although the portion of shrimp could be more generous.
The robata skewers are a highlight, with a variety of options from the ordinary to the exotic. The only drawbacks are the use of styrofoam containers for carryout orders, which are wasteful and harmful to the environment, and the removal of the pork belly skewer from the menu.
Overall, Shinsen offers a flavor-packed dining experience with unique and delicious dishes, but could improve in terms of sustainability.
