Shinsei

Shinsei has been providing pan-Asian flavors to the Lovers Lane set for over a decade, under the ownership of Lynae Fearing, former wife of Dean Fearing, and Tracy Rathbun, who is married to star local chef Kent Rathbun. Executive chef Carlos Capistran oversees a sushi-centric menu with the help of sushi chef Shuji Sugawara. But whether you pile up a stack of sashimi or a warm option like the lobster tacos or the popular (and delectable) Thai beef cheek, this long-time gem holds its own against more trendy Austin imports.
