“ Came here for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The Omakase was excellent and there really wasnt a course that I didnt not like. I was able to try a few dishes prepared in ways I had not had before. The sushimi and various dishes were fresh and delicious. I really appreciated the care taken in its preparation and presentation. The moment you step inside, the service is exceptional and since the number of diners at one time is small, they are able to look after you quickly and efficiently. ”

“ We were very impressed with the quality and creativity of the food as well as the intimacy of the experience. All the details were perfect. Staff made us feel very comfortable and the chef was engaging and playful. Food was more on the traditional side not as much fusion as you might experience at other omekase experiences in Phoenix. ”
“ I have dined at several restaurants serving omakase. I was not expecting to be blown away by a sushi restaurant in old town Scottsdale, but WOW, this is a fabulous meal. It was a perfect spot for a birthday celebration splurge. Every dish was exploding with flavor. I cant recommend enough....fantastic service and delicious food. The intimate setting may be slightly uncomfortable for some, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. I would definitely dine at ShinBay again while visiting Scottsdale. ”
