Review Shin Sen Teppanyaki Restaurant - Canberra

Chef was so funny. Very enjoyable night. Food was delicious.

Had a blast! We booked for a birthday dinner and it didn’t disappoint. Great selection of food and catered for all tastes (kids, seafood, vegetarian etc.). The chef and servers were wonderful and very welcoming.

First of all taking a deposit of $20 for each person isn’t on. Secondly for a family of 5 with three kids under the age of 9 and 5, which fed the kids a small amount of satay chicken, fried rice (frozen vegetables) and cooked mix vegetables. Which set us back $29 each child 😮. As for the parents we only got 5 cubes of Angus beef, some chicken and frozen Fish with some sauce covered the fish. Overall the tepanyaki atmosphere was brilliant, the kids had a blast, however I felt it was way too expensive for the small amount and not quality of food. Will never go again.

At the end of the meal, when both your kids say, "this is our new favourite restaurant", you know you're onto a winner. Fun, entertaining, and above all else, great food! We will absolutely be back.

This restaurant is a little bit of a mixed bag. The staff are lovely including the young man that cooked our food. He was cracking jokes and gave us a fun teppanyaki experience. Not to be too judgmental, but you'd come here for the experience not the food. The food is just average, which is slightly irritating when you pay $70 per head.

Awesome food. The chef is a practising food artist. Highly recommended. Pricey though.

Simply loved this place. Great food and entertainment.

Came here for a birthday on the weekend and was very satisfied with our experience!! The chef was a lovely young man and was accompanied by friendly staff. The chef cracked a couple jokes and was having a good time. Highly recommend!!

Great meal, excellent service, a perfect night out with friends and family for dinner. Harry looked after us like royalty, and chucked in a couple jokes along the way. Highly recommend

Very entertaining, Lovely food, and the raw egg throwing is un necessary and very messy 😱

What a laughter filled night .. lucky to almost catch the flying food. The chef was a showman with superb cooking skills and personality. Food was healthy. . Tender and satisfying ... the flavors were amazing! Fabulous night !

We had dinner for my 11 year old, and it was amazing, the chef was hilarious and the lady behind the bar was great. Great food, great atmosphere!

William was an amazing chef and host for our family birthday dinner. Great food and so much fun.

Was a fun experience! Very accommodating as we had a pram (infant) and toddler. Best part was when they unexpectedly brought out ice cream dessert for my toddler son as well. It was an extra treat on behalf of Shin Sen and he felt very special. So considerate of them to include him. Thank you!

Had a great night something different and great for kids

I loved the food and service William is the best ��

讚喔，值得推薦給大家

Had a wonderful feed here. Always enjoy Teppanyaki.<br/><br/>Our chef will was friendly, funny and was checking in on everyone all night to make sure everyone was doing well! Amazing night out

Delicious food, fun friendly staff. Would recommend to someone who hasn't experienced teppanyaki before. The meat set menu was delicious and the menu is really flexible, can add a wide range of other dishes.

I enjoyed eating here. I had the teppanyaki which was nice but not the best I've ever had. I would go back and have it again. The staff are very nice and accommodating. A good selection of beer too

Had the Taiwanese banquet. Service was excellent. The first two courses were perfectly timed. There was a prolonged wait for the 3rd and subsequent courses. Prices are reasonable.

Shin Sen replaced what used to be Wasabi. Don’t worry, they’ve kept the teppanyaki. I believe you can choose between a Taiwanese banquet or a Japanese banquet both $39.90 per person. The regular menu includes a limited number of sushi rolls and sashimi platters, a selection of grilled and fried items such as yakitori and karaage chicken, some hearty sounding main courses served on sizzling plates and clay pots, and a small selection of noodles like yaki udon and ramen. The sukiyaki at $45.90 per person (minimum two people) is a bit steep but it includes wagyu sirloin, sashimi, rice, udon and dessert. Once seated, tap water was provided for the table. After our orders were taken, complimentary bowls of miso soup were provided. It took a long time (about 40 minutes) for the food to come out. Considering there was only one other table of three, plus those at the teppanyaki station, it was rather strange that it took so long. The first dish to come out was the agedashi tofu. No one started eating it and I thought everyone was just being polite when the waitress came back saying it was for the wrong table. Still got a shot of it! After my food marathon in Melbourne and trying an assortment of gua bao there, I just couldn’t resist ordering Shin Sen’s gua bao ($9 for a serve of two) with slow simmered pork belly, Taiwanese sweet soy sauce, cucumber, coriander and chopped up cashews. The bao was a little dense, not soft and fluffy as expected. It took a lot longer to chew through than a freshly made bao. The cut of pork belly was thin but decent. Though it tasted okay, it was lacking in any saucy marinade (and it was no Wonderbao). I did appreciate the fresh and crunchy cucumber but I don’t think I’d order this again. I found the wagyu beef sticks ($13.90 for two sticks) expensive for what l
