Came here for the UYE lunch event organised by Amanda - great meeting so many fellow yelpers in Singapore!! :) :)Shinzo is a cosy little restaurant which seats only 28 people at full capacity -- 16-20 people at the sushi bar, and 8-12 people at the table. We heard that they are doing some remodeling and adding some partition to make a semi private room area, so that could be a great setting for a more private meal.The menu was pretty extensive, and I was spoilt for choice. I decided to go with a Sashimi set meal ($38). 1. The set meal started with a side salad with wafu dressing. I'm typically not a fan of wafu dressing, so this was just okay for me. 2. Pitan tofu (egg tofu with century egg, crab stick and fish roe topping) - Apparently, the egg tofu is home made and there are some secret ingredients in the century egg sauce. I've a weakness for pitan tofu so this was definitely a bonus surprise for me :)3. Sashimi platter - comprising of hamachi, salmon, scallop, dancing prawn, fish roe. Hmm, the sashimi was definitely very very fresh, and I love the sweetness of the shrimp :) The scallops though, were a little overseared imho, so it was pretty cooked leaving only a very small raw part in the center. The fish roe was definitely a nice addition and we were advised to eat it without any sauce :)4. Tempura - Wow, I definitely wasnt expecting tempura in the set meal. I like that the batter wasnt too thick. Despite being freshly fried, the tempura wasnt oily, and was rather light in flavor. Yummy :)5. Cold udon - Apparently, they were using a different type of noodle that is thinner and smoother compared to udon and I liked it alot. Sonya mentioned the name of it, but it has slipped my mind now :(6. Spicy tuna roll - I was super stuffed by this point that I was shocked that there was more. The spicy tuna roll was good, and I could taste the freshness of the tuna despite the spice. However, I did feel that it was too much and shared my plate with the rest!7. Sorbet dessert - Great light dessert for palate cleansing at the end! :)Overall service was great. The waitress gave a brief introduction of every dish and told us how to eat it/ pointed out specific items which should/shouldn't go with sauce. She was also super attentive and awesome :) :) Two thumbs up!!Souz chef Daniel came over to our table a couple of times to answer questions and ask for feedback. Since this restaurant is still pretty new, they're very keen on feedback, and try to customise their dishes to suit individual customer palate. Definitely a great experience :)For $38, I'd say that it was a decent price considering the freshness of the sashimi and the variety of food presented. The food though, was very traditional, and relied heavily on the freshness of ingredients, rather than creative/ intelligent pairing. Perhaps its because it was the set meal? Personally, I think they could have done away with either the tempura or offered a smaller portion of the spicy tuna roll for the set lunch. I'm not sure if I'd pay a much heftier price tag for "fresh ingredients", but I'd definitely love to give them a second try, perhaps their ala-carte menu this time!
