You must eat here with the right expectations. The wait was reasonable, around 10 minutes. Many of the sushi rolls are made with shrimp tempura, or more like tempura tempura. They all taste the same. The Chinese section is decent, with the steak leading the way. Many people were devouring the crab legs, but it's not my thing. Sir Fry... More

A place for those who would never eat "raw fish" but love "sushi rolls" now that they are americanized and cooked. Now they can tell their friends-- "I'm cool and love sushi."--Sure. Sashimi is excellent as long as it doesn't stay out on buffet table forever like many rolls do which drys them out. If you love sushi rolls, then... More

This is the best sushi in Boca because it is the freshest. Great selection of sushi, hot meals and hibachi. Above average hot items are the pork dumplings and hibachi bar. Service is ok. Very affordable. Dinner has a few more options. If you are craving sushi, this is a great option in Boca.

Let me first point out, these Japanese buffets are not Japanese, they are ALL run by the Chinese!! So don't expect first class Japanese sushi, 'cos you ain't gonna get it, not at these prices! You basically, get a range of average dishes at not bad prices. So stop bloody complaining!! Sorry, I'm from England and that's what we say!... More

As sushi fanatics, my husband and I look for variety and value. Shinju has the best of both. Went for lunch and price was $11.95. Fresh sushi, all food seasoned well, incredibly fresh and cooked well. We'll definitely visit again when in south Florida.

I hate buffets....luke warm food, the person in front of you takes the last piece of the only thing you thought would be good, etc, etc, etc. Well you are in for a great surprise when you go to Shinju. You won't be subject to any of that. Fresh and fast should be their tagline. Walk through the door and... More

Great sushi buffet place, there's so many different types of food to choose from! They have really fresh sashimi. You must get there by 6 pm, otherwise you will have wait at least an hour.

Have dined in the Shinju Japanese buffet 5 or 6 times. The food on the buffet is of excellent quality, particularly the shellfish. On weekends, oysters and clams are available--and they are fresh and delicious. The shrimp and mussels are also very good. The staff keeps bringing out more and keeps them nice and cold on ice. Many, many types... More

Within a half hour there was a line to get in.the food was tasty and kept coming. Serving dishes were never empty. Even though it was crowded, there wasn't any problem getting food. There was...
