Shin Kushiya is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants in Singapore. Shin at both Suntec and Vivo City branches are equally good in their quality of food and service. I prefer the one at Vivo because of the sea view.

Shin is better known for their 'kushiyaki' or 'yakitori'. I must say I've never eaten good 'yakitori' in Singapore. Besides the good variety of yakitori that I will usually order, I will always order the salmon sashimi don or the chirashi don for my main course.

I met a friend for lunch at Shin Vivo City just 2 days ago. As I'm usually there for dinner, I didn't know they had a set lunch promotion where you get the 2nd set for half the price when you order the first set.

My chirashi don set which had a variety of fresh raw fish included a small bowl of soup udon and fruits. My friend's unadon was piled up with a generous serving of unagi.

The total bill came up to $39 which we thought was value-for-money for the good meal we had. Thumbs up for Shin!
