Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Uptown

This was my second visit to Shinsei and I think it was better than the first visit! Our waitress was amazing!! It seemed she had been there a while and knew everything!! I loved her! We started with the pork dumplings and Hamachi and Pear appetizer along with Katina’s Sticky Rice…I think the sticky rice was my favorite with Hamachi coming in a close second!! We also tried the Coconut Chicken Jalapeño Poppers. For dinner I had the miso plat cod and my husband had the baby back ribs, absolutely everything was delicious. My Seabass was cooked to perfection and of course for dessert I had cotton candy. I mean is there a better dessert? LOL

Everyone at OpenTable was extremely helpful, kind, and gorgeous. I had questions prior to coming in and called earlier, and the host that I spoke with was so friendly and helpful. The food was so good! And I love that any questions we had or any alterations we wanted to make to our plates. The server was extremely helpful and even recommended some of her favorites. THE DRINKS!? Absolutely divine. I had the Ex-Presso Martini and it was so girly and delicious. And I was definitely lit, by the end of that drink, lol I will be back to try their brunch and get some more pics because these scenery and photo ops are so gorgeous that you simply can’t just go without snapping a memory 

Great food and drink in a chill environment. Good space for a large group.

While still a good dining experience, I was expecting much more. I felt it was vastly overpriced and their signature dishes (Chicken Parmesan and Pasta Vodka) left a lot to be desired. Service was extremely courteous, but excruciatingly slow. It’s good to go and check off the box, but I won’t be frequenting.

We sat outside. Weather was great and food and service were amazing!
