| - Tip # 1 - Do not go as a group of 6 people, you will be squeezed into a table designed for 4 people, even though you made reservations over a month in advance...
Tip # 2 - Order the meats first, specifically, the beef and lamb items, they take forever to come to the table. I find that pretty shady for AYCE.
We had a pretty bad first experience at Shinta and it was unfortunate because we were celebrating Father's day and it would have been difficult to get a table elsewhere without a reservation. We had made reservations over a month in advance and they seated us at a booth designed for 4 people with an extra chair added to the end. The same booth next to us had 2 people seated there... When we explained to the hostess that this didn't make any sense, she had the audacity to attempt to blame us, and said she thought our reservation was for 5 people (Note: We never altered this reservation, it was always for 6 people. Your mistake is not our fault.); the manager eventually showed us another option and it was a table with 2 grills designed for 8 people, but we weren't allowed to have the second grill and they put up a wall to divide that table in half and added two chairs to the end to fit us. He did throw in a pitcher of watermelon juice to make amends... I would have preferred proper seating.
Food - It was mostly good. We did the Angus AYCE. Be cautious of the lettuce, it's not the cleanest. Beef cuts are pretty limited here in comparison to other Japanese AYCE BBQ.
Service - The servers were somewhat slow and forgetful but overall nice.
I guess I would come back if I was craving Japanese BBQ and in the area but I know better places to go to instead, and I would never come back as a group of 6 people.
