The broth is perfect, noodles are simple but delicious! Everything is good and so much value. Bring a large table to split and share and suddenly everything gets so much better (or go quiet one on one its definitely a vibe)

I have always loved this restaurant and found the food to be excellent. I was somewhat disappointed by my recent visit. The food and service were good, but not excellent. The menu range had reduced.

The food here is consistently good, with a focus on tasty comfort food rather than innovative dishes. The service was a little strained on this busy night. Noise levels were high, impacting on the ambience of this otherwise authentic Japanese dining experience.

Shinmachi is consistently awesome. As a local we’ve been a number of times. It is always good. Great ambience, waiters and chefs are genuinely grateful you are there, food is delicious and it was all so quick! Loved it and will come again

Food is delicious, but service left us with a bad taste in the mouth. First booking on a Sunday night, requested a nice table to celebrate an anniversary, the host first question if we could leave at 7pm, which is not a problem if she wasn’t so rude. Order through the iPad, which again not a problem, but all staff seems to be in an angry mood or just annoyed you are at the restaurant, don’t you dare to ask question they will be rude too, after a dinner of almost $200 when paying I was mentioned if I want to leave a tip, I would leave a tip for the boh team, unfortunately the service is too bad to enjoy the night, maybe next time will do just take away.
