Shinano - Monterey Park

Wow! the aromen were delectable, and they really feel the touch of Japanese tradition with any court. the customer service was also top-notch. make sure they order in the special menu!

Had the Katsu Curry special. Very generous portions for a special.

My Sushi was fine but my partner 's dish was not so good....in her words.... disappointing . The quality of the beef in her combination bento box was not good, fatty and scraps of beef...not what she was expecting.... service was good but sparse.

Overall, a pleasant dinner experience ?! My friend recommended it since she lives in the area. All of the employees are really friendly and courteous !We came here for dinner after watching a movie at the nearby AMC Atlantic Times Square. Since it has been colder than usual in Southern CA these past several days, we decided to get udon. My friend got the regular udon. I got the Nabeyaki udon.Our waiter was friendly, and checked on us and refilled our green teas ? at least once. They might have been shorthanded because he wasn’t able to be as attentive after more people came in. We had to wave him down to ask for the bill ?.A fly seemed to have entered the restaurant at some point when perhaps the front door was opened by a customer. It was flying around and we found ourselves constantly waving it away from our food.Finally, our waiter came with a fly-swatter and tried to swat and shoo it away. I don’t think he meant to make a commotion. But there was just so much swatting and shooing activity right around where we sat in his attempts to try to get to the fly.If it wasn’t for that, we would have had a much more relaxed dinner without having to look constantly around us for the fly possibly landing on our food.The udon ? was hot and delicious ? and our green teas ? kept us very warm as well on a cold day !There is a small parking lot in the back of the restaurant and we easily parked there ?!Overall, it’s a really nice and quaint restaurant in the heart of Monterey Park where you can get seated and served right away !

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shinano Japanese Restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant boasts a throwback cool vibe that transports you back in time by 20-30 years. With warm lighting and wooden screens separating the dining room and sushi bar, the ambiance was incredibly cozy. I visited for lunch on a typically slow Monday, and the service was friendly and attentive.I highly recommend trying the shokado bento, as it was surprisingly good. The tempura was light and flavorful without being too greasy, and the portions were true to Japanese tradition – just enough to leave you feeling satisfied. The quality of the sashimi was superb as well.Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience.
