Shinano Restaurant

Wow! Such a good meal. The flavors were delectable, and you really feel the touch of Japanese tradition with every dish. The customer service was top-notch as well. Make sure you order from the specials menu!

Very reasonable and good quality. Thumbs up from us. We got the chirashi, dinner bento, a specialty roll and tempura. Ate everything

FOOD WAS GOOD SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT

Cute little spot: table seating and sushi bar. Tasty food at a reasonable price. Not crowded at all.

My family visited Shinano for the first time and enjoyed it. The service and food was excellent. I had the Sukiyaki and it was delicious! The meat was sweet and tender; the vegetables were good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

The food here is great! We sat at the sushi bar, and asked the chef about the various rolls. He was very knowledgeable and answered all questions we had. We settled on the pink kimono roll (a special roll I think) and a garlic truffle roll. Both of those rolls were AMAZING! A lady who I think was the owner came by, and checked up on us. She was super nice!

Very chill and home like vibes , made to order sushi/sashimi. Nice modern music to keep you entertained 😉. Definitely will come back here to try a lot more that they have to offer.

AS THE STORY GOES, IF ANYONE REMEMBERS " YAMAS" ON MAIN IN ALHAMBRA. WAS MY FAMLIES FAVORITE JAPANESE RESTAURANT. SADLY IT CLOSED. WE TRIED MANY OTHER RESTAURANTS, BUT TO NO AVAIL. CAME ACROSS SHINANOS IN MONTEREY PARK. DELICIOUS! NOT YOUR HIP MODERN RESTAURANT. VERY COMFY & WELCOMING. IT'S GOING TO BE OUR GO TO JAPANESE RESTAURANT. THANK YOU ALL WHO WORK THERE. SEE YOU SOON.

First time going to this place...very delicious and fresh. Loved the tempura! Our hot green tea was very good and tasty...different from other places I have tried. Will be back...it takes a little to get your food but fresh food takes time. 👍

Just feels good to enjoy food freshly cooked! Done safely as possible with limited seating, of course.

Tempura was very nice and crisp. Beef teriyaki was delicious and succulent. This is the Go-To spot for getting those Japanese comfort food cravings fulfilled.

Great place to dine and visit! The atmosphere is alluring and the wait staff were excellent with their hosting services. Moderately priced food & drink that matches today's level of Quality! 5 stars all the way! :)

Went here for lunch for a little family luncheon. Wasn't that busy, only a few other customers, so seating was pretty quick. They got some decent lunch roll specials and a good variety of the usual Japanese dishes. I got the sukiyaki bowl and some of my siblings got the lunchb bento combinations. My sukiyaki bowl was an actual bowl of sukiyaki with a side dish of rice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The bento lunches were decent too: usual combinations of protein, rice, tempura/sashimi, veggies, and potato. Also tried the salmon skin roll, but honestly didn't like it. Tasted a bit too burnt for my liking. Overall, another decent Japanese restaurant to try out if you're looking another place to try out.

We are regulars at Shinano as it’s just a walk away from our home. What keeps us coming back? The great food, deal and people! We love sitting at the sushi bar, where Oda gives us amazing service. We haven’t found better oysters in the area!

I had the teriyaki chicken and salmon plate with white rice and it was delicious! I called before and just picked it up. They were very polite and professional! I will definitely be returning!

Amazing and delicious food. Very original and traditional place. We loved the service.

We've been coming here for years. My family always orders the boat. Finished again!!!

This is the BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT within 20 miles from N. Whittier.
The food is Amazing, they have the friendliest Staff and Great Pricing.
I have been coming to this place for 40 years.

Very friendly staff. A great first experience. Amazing quality; very fresh and decent sized pieces and rolls. I will definitely be coming back.

My dining experience was very good the food was fresh very tasty, being the fact that we were celebrating my sister's birthday and it was actually a very nice setting the service was exceptionable and did I mention the food very delicious and the fruit on our boats were fresh and extremely sweet.

Shinanos is great. You'll pay a decent amount but it is well worth it. Awesome spot to make a date night out of. Great atmosphere although you wouldn't know from the outside. There are other Japanese spots that can keep up with Shinanos but this spot is definitely one to hit. Don't knock it until you've had the Boat special! Kick back some sake shots and enjoy your time.
