Shinsei is a long-standing favorite among the Dallas sushi scene. Open since 2006, the restaurant’s creative rolls and immersive ambience have garnered a following of loyal regulars, and for good reason. From the main dining room to the back patio to two moody bar areas, each section of the restaurant has its own charm. A corner booth in the dimly lit lounge is perfect for pre- or post-dinner drinks, the most refreshing of which is the blood orange margarita. The nigiri is always fresh and served in generous portions, but it’s Shinsei’s signature items that truly shine. Don’t skip the Katina’s crispy rice, the Dragon Lady pressed roll and the delicate Hawaiian sashimi. If you sit at the sushi bar, Elvis will take great care of you and your date, but for a more formal dining experience, request a table with longtime servers Tammy, Casey or Alfred.
