4.5 stars in my books! Shinobu is exactly what I love in a Japanese restaurant: a homey feel, friendly staff, and fresh & authentic nigiri. Sure, its decor is basic at best but that's part of its charm. Volcano roll is proportioned well in terms of rice and sushi deluxe combo is great for two people to share (you won't get two of each piece but it's great value for the amount of food you get). Their salmon yukke (seared, chopped salmon) is so flavourful and perfectly seasoned. The staff are always accommodating and allow you to order off the menu; if they're able to fulfill your request, they definitely will. Once, I called to make a reservation at a certain time but was told there were no tables at that time so I settled for a later dinner reservation - half an hour later, they made the effort to call back and let me know there was availability after all. Great service!
