The omakase menu here is truly special, showcasing seasonal and beautifully sourced seafood — much of it imported from Japan — prepared in a way that highlights delicate flavors and expert technique. Each course felt thoughtfully curated, with attention to balance and texture that really elevated the meal. I especially appreciated the way the chefs explained the ingredients and dishes, making the experience both informative and engaging.
Service throughout the evening was attentive and gracious, striking the perfect balance between professional and personable. It’s clear the team prides itself on creating a memorable evening rather than just a meal — from the sake pairings to the pacing of the courses, everything felt intentional and well executed.
Overall, Sushi Shin is a fantastic choice for a special night out, a celebration, or any occasion where you want to indulge in high-end sushi with great service and a refined vibe. I left impressed and already thinking about my next visit. Thank you Chef Zhan!
The flavors honor Japan with a subtle, thoughtful touch of Shanghai, refined and never overpowering. Each piece felt intentional and balanced, letting the fish speak while the technique elevated every moment.
Jason Zhan was masterful. His cutting precision, timing, and calm confidence were a masterclass in craftsmanship. This is omakase at its purest. Elegant, disciplined, and deeply satisfying.

The negatives:
Very awkward experience if you don’t speak Chinese as the chef mainly focuses on Chinese guests. It’s not that he can’t speak English he just chooses not to mainly.
The sushi here is bad even for America standard. It makes sense they lost the Michelin star and I hope Michelin is more serious about where they give out stars for sushi. A big price tag =/= good sushi
However, the appetizers really stand out from other shops. Chef Jason’s creativity around utilizing fresh ingredients and diverse preparation styles are unmatched, and make this place well deserving of the acclaim it gets.
We will be back.
The fish were super high quality, well seasoned and I’m still thinking about that otoro. That lot of uni was great! And I was completely confused as to how the chef made noodles out of eel.
The chef and staff were so welcoming, explaining the ingredients and origins of each dish. It made the whole night feel personal and special. Loved the cozy, elegant atmosphere too — perfect for date night or celebrating something big.
Easily one of the best sushi spots I’ve been to in the Bay. Worth every penny, and can’t wait to go back again soon!
