The worst service I've ever experienced. My wife, three friends and I came for happy hour last evening. We were seated at a table and ignored for a good 15 minutes. Getting anyone's attention was impossible and we asked to speak with the manager who was as uncaring as his staff. We picked up and left. Never again.
PRETENTIOUS!!!! Is there a ZERO STAR choice??? – My husband and daughters wanted to take me out last night for a belated Mom's Day celebration. When asked what I'd like to have for dinner, of course I chose sushi. We went by our regular place but they were closed, so we decided to go to Sinju. I'd eaten there years ago and remember the sushi being great, but the service was horrible. Since it was so long ago I thought we should give it another try. We went in at about 8:30 in the evening and there were only about 5 occupied ... read more
Sinju is great for groups – Sinju is definitely one of the better sushi places in town, but Yoko's is the best as far as I'm concerned. If you're wanting to go out with a group of people then you'd want to go to Sinju and sit in a tatami room. I too have been to many of the "best" sushi places in the world, and I agree that there are much better places in other cities and countries, but I also think that sushi is a matter of preference. I've eaten at just about every sushi restaurant in the area, and I'll always vote for Yok... read more
Scored 70 on health inspection January 2009 – Last time I visited Sinju, I got sick. Everyone in my party got sick from eating sushi and teriyaki chicken. I just saw on KPTV that sinju barely passed with a score of 70.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? – I have eaten at some of the best sushi restaurants in the world, such as: Bar Masa (NYC) and Nobu (Vegas). However, I have also eaten at some of the worst places. As Sinju doesn't come close to being in the same league as the world's premier locations, it offers the best sushi in Oregon, HANDS DOWN! I was born and raised in Portland and have been to countless places in the Portland Metro Area and none are as impressive as Sinju. For all the people who wrote comments about how the service suck... read more
Nice atmosphere, so-so sushi – I really wanted to like this place. It has a neat atmoshpere. The interior decoration is nicely done, with some nice private rooms. Unfortunately, the sushi we had somehow fell flat. The portions were certainly generous enough, but the fish was bland, and the rolls/rice weren't tight. It was a struggle just to pick up the rolls in one piece. Service was alright. I expected better in a place like this.
my favorite sushi place! – If you want to try a different kind of sushi experience head to Sin Ju! I have never had anything less than perfection, it's like heaven on a plate! The service is also great!
Good Sushi, Bad Service – We have grown tired of the downtown location for the simple fact that they give some of the worst service I have ever had. The time span between when you are seated to when your server comes to your table seems like forever. And the last 2 times we were here they forgot to bring our entire order. The final straw was when we went for dinner on a Wednesday evening at 5pm and the place was empty except for a couple tables. We were seated and waited 15 minutes for our server to show up - finally having ... read more
Had a wonderful experience – Valentines Day was coming up soon and so I decided to make early reservation to SinJu. I was asked if I wanted a tatami room, but knowing that there is a min. of 4+ people and I usually have business meetings there (with at least 7 people) during the past, it was great! A full course meal was a requirement which worked out perfect. Minimum of $50 per person was required but to have a private room for Valentines Day with my girlfriend-I couldn't ask for a better night/dinner. I've been to other su... read more
