Shintaro is quaint and cozy. Hannah was a lovely and personable waitress and attended to me well. The service was relatively fast, and the food is fresh. That being said, I would say that the food is largely forgettable. It's a nice place if you need a quick bite to eat, as there is a lot of parking space in their lot, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here as it's on the pricier side relative to the value offered. Spicy Scallop Cut Roll ($15.95) Rating: 4.2/10 - The scallops were fresh but lacked the special tenderness one might expect from a great scallop. Moreover, they were missing that distinct, slightly sweet umami of the sea. The spicy sauce that they coat the scallops with is neither spicy nor tasty; it sort of overwhelms the palate without contributing much. I was disappointed with these and would not recommend them.Fried Calamari ($14.95) Rating 5.0/10 - I definitely didn't receive any "yuzu wasabi" sauce as advertised; I was given a "spicy mayonnaise" instead. To my surprise, the spicy mayonnaise was inoffensive and had a smooth taste. The calamari is fried along with jalapeño rings, which added a nice touch of spice. The squid itself is considerably chewy, compared with other calamari dishes I've had, and the overall flavor is mild. California Cut Roll ($10.95) Rating: 5.5/10 - A worthwhile purchase at the best price point of the night. A California roll made with real crab meat is a hidden gem in the food industry. For what it is, it's well made, but the quality of the rice and crab are not going to be spectacular in this price range. I would highly recommend this item if eating here.

I ordered pick-up from here for the first time tonight and upon walking in to grab my food, I suddenly wished I was dining in instead! The ambiance was so cozy and inviting, with soft ambient music playing. Little red Valentine hearts looked so cute adorning the walls of this adorable, dimly lit, intimate, little Japanese spot. A friendly woman greeted me at the register and asked if I was here for the pick-up order. I nodded, she had me pay and sign a receipt, and it made me smile when she said, "Arigato." I definitely need to dine in next time.When I got back to my room, I pulled the chirashi bowl out of the bag and practically started drooling. My stomach growled loudly. The presentation made it look almost too pretty to eat, but I was starving, and even though it was pretty, I was for sure going to eat every last morsel! The fish was fresh and melted in my mouth. The different flavors mingled together for a nice umami feel, and when I was almost finished, I tried my best to slow down and really savor the last few bites. The iced green tea paired perfectly with the chirashi bowl. It's not sweet at all and has a mellow, earthy flavor, just as one would expect from authentic green tea. For ~$38 including tip, I would say that the price is worth it for what you get. The portion size was plenty and I wasn't hungry afterwards. I would have had room for a hand roll or some mochi, but since this was my first time ordering from Shintaro, I decided to just get one entree item. Next time I will dine in and I'd like to try the nigiri, amaebi, the blue crab handroll, and maybe the chicken karaage. Hopefully I'll be back soon! Arigato Gozaimasu!

Sushi tasted like something from 711. Honestly I was so disappointed. It just didn't make sense because the restaurant itself looks very hole in the wall traditional and perfect on the outside. Maybe they accidently served me a bad batch? IDK. I've had sushi at 5-star Michelin restaurants and cheap places and at 711 and at home so I know my sushi! IDK what happened here in my experience hopefully they improve the sushi

This is a pretty solid affordable sushi option in Hollywood. Priced average or slightly above average, the quality of their product is fine but over the years it appeared to have slightly degraded inconclusive as to whether it is intermittent or not. Biggest challenge for the onsite customers especially for romantic couples would be the pressence of the free spirited loiterers that emanate unpleasant odors and dwell in the tents nearby. But maybe as a suggestion.. blindfold your date and put those nose plugs in before bringing them here . No.. scratch that. That would not be understood well. Just say, welcome to Los Angeles.

I had an amazing time at Shintaro. The service here is excellent so you'll love the environment. The ambience they created with the silent movies & lighting is so relaxing. To top everything off the food here is also so delicious. I can't wait to come back !!

Came here because we were craving sushi and have yet to find a go-to place (spoiler alert this is it from now on!).I had a picky sushi lover with me and he enjoyed it! Everything was super fresh and the cuts were very melt in your mouth.The chicken karaage was great (the sauce was phenomenal) and the gyoza was also tasty.It's a cute little spot that has a lot of seating with traditional sushi chefs in the secondary room.Special shout out to Miho who was a wonderful server!The location has a small lot in front. People come and go quickly so it wasn't too hard to find parking on a wednesday. With that said please note a lot of the spots are for 30 so make sure to get one that isn't one of those (tends to be the ones right in front of the shops). You can also walk here from the Hollywood and highland parking lot (a few blocks).

Haven't been to Shintaro in years and I'm happy to report the staples I liked are still terrific, those being the buttery and savory Black Cod Appetizer ($17) and beautiful and tasty Unagi Dinner over Rice w Miso Soup ($24), a generous portion and perfectly cooked with Shintaro's fluffy and not-too-sticky rice...The one demerit star I'm giving them is that their sushi rolls, while remaining quality cuts of fish, are tragically small now while remaining market price or even seem a tad pricey. Our tuna belly nigi roll? 6 tiny pieces and $21 dollars. Added all together, before being cut, it would have made for one hand roll at other fine sushi places like Katsu Nori and it would've been on the small side for that fine restaurant!Finally, the ambience and layout of the restaurant remain as it ever was, spacious, with the nice sushi bar you can sit at, and the huge screen playing old 1970's Japanese monster films on rotation... it all works and the service, by Asian ladies in kimono-style uniforms, is pleasant and on point. Easy parking in this corner lot mini mall, where the restaurant is located...

This place has been on my list for a while so happy I finally got to try it. Shintaro is located in a small strip mall. A small parking lot and street parking are available. They provide plenty of indoor seating and the interior atmosphere is romantic and relaxing. I ordered a salmon hr, baked crab hr, and the soft shell crab appetizer. Everything was delicious and fresh. Soft shell crab was amazing, the best I've tried so far. The staff was professional. Overall, enjoyed my time here. The food was great, the staff was kind, and they have a lovely ambiance. However, they are on the pricier side so just be mindful of that. Tip: If you come with a party of 5 or more they automatically included an %18 tip on your bill.

I really enjoyed the food here. Did not know what to expect. The best was the agedashi tofu appetizer. Even the two people I dined with agreed. Hot fried tofu in a starchy skin, with a delicious dipping sauce. The rolls and miso soup that we ordered were also excellent. The mochi dessert was tasty. You can tell from the diligence of the sushi chefs that they take food seriously. The restaurant is not as large as I thought but has very tall ceilings and a large video projected onto a wall which gives an old cinema vibe. Makes sense since they are in Hollywood.
