Nice food. Décor? Eh. Hubby wanted to see what the rave was about. Portions sizes are good. Can’t complain about service. But when they call it a hole in the wall, they’re not joking.

Probably the best Sushi you’ll get on Long Island, at least in Nassau. I’ve been going here for years and have never been disappointed. A small lil place with good food and value. It’s easy on your pockets as well.

What a great little sushi place! Judging by appearance, you wouldn’t expect much, but once you eat here you will understand the greatness that is this little hole in the wall. We ordered the Shumai, and the Kani Salad for our appetizer, both were delicious. The Kani Salad was perfectly dressed, not overly mayo-ey, it was also a good portion. The Shumai was amazing, just get it. For our rolls we ordered the Bruce Roll, the Fantastic Roll, the Riverhead Roll and the New York Yankee. They were all pretty big rolls and the fish was fresh, no fishy taste to speak of. My boyfriend said the spicy tuna, was the best he’s had. I’m no judge for spicy tuna, it’s not in the realm of foods I enjoy, but he often orders it, so I guess you can trust him. The prices at this place are extremely fair. only a few of the special rolls exceed eleven bucks, most being about nine. The lunch specials are also definitely worth checking out. They also serve complimentary edamame, which is a nice touch. I only have a few criticisms, the avocado was a tad bit under ripe, though still edible and didn’t ruin the rolls. Most of the special rolls had some sort of spicy tuna, not my favorite. And the soy sauce tasted smoky, definitely not used to that, my boyfriend didn’t even notice, though. All in all, great place to stop for sushi, if you are in the area.

Had takeout from this place a few months back. Later that evening my stomach became hard as a rock and I was on my couch with a horrible stomach ache. I ate the salmon and tuna roll. Since I had a mild case of food poisening I had not returned. They need to use fresh fish and be more sanitary.

Best sushi place in Merrick! They are so friendly and their prices are very fair. When I used to live in Merrick during high school and breaks during college, I would order from there multiple times a week. Such a gem and can’t wait to order from them again when I come home next! Love you Shinsena :)

Delicious and fresh sushi! Under 17 dollars for 3 rolls, miso soup AND salad which is pretty much unheard of considering you can pick any roll you want. The pieces are reasonably sized. Pick-up takes under 10 minutes! Service is polite. The place is small so I prefer to take out so that might be a downside for some ppl.

Have been to so many great Sushi Restaurants but I love the humble atmosphere and generous servings of Shinsena. While they do not have the largest selection, everything is always fresh,. The husband and wife couple that run the place are very kind, the food always delicious and there is never too long a wait. Everything is good and the tri color sashimi is my favorite.

Appearance of the restaurant is sub par, and you can barely even see it from merrick road, but don’t let that deter you! Delicious rolls, and definitely a great value. Good selection, they do take out as well
