Sushi Shunei

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Shunei, and it was truly an unforgettable omakase experience. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere felt inviting — modern, minimalist, and impeccably clean — setting the perfect tone for the evening. What stood out immediately was the chef himself. Rarely have I seen a sushi chef exude such genuine joy and passion for his craft. His energy was infectious and added a uniquely personal touch to the entire experience. I enjoyed the 14-piece nigiri omakase, complemented by 3 tsumami (small appetizer-style dishes). Each piece of sushi was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. • The Negitoro was a standout — incredibly flavorful, with a perfect balance of rich, fatty tuna and refreshing scallion. It had that melt-in-your-mouth quality that truly felt like the fish was “dancing” on the palate. • The Ebi (shrimp) was impressively fresh and sweet, showcasing the chef’s attention to sourcing and preparation. • Every bite reflected a deep respect for traditional technique, combined with a modern sensibility. If you’re looking for a joyful, high-quality omakase in a contemporary yet intimate setting, Sushi Shunei is well worth a visit.

One of the best sushi experience in my life! (6 years of life in Japan behind me..) It's clear that every detail was thought out, the place is very japanese traditional! minimalistic but eye-catching design, food presentation, fish, green carbonated tea (wow!), the chef and the women who work there - everything was amazing! a place for those who really want to get not only a quality dinner but also an amazing experience of Japanese cuisine. p.s. don't make my mistake, refrain from eating at least 6 hours before dinner because halfway through the menu I started to feel full!

#93 in my challenge of trying every Parisian Michelin Stars under a year (follow to see all my reviews). Sushi little heaven in Paris. What’s interesting here? I’ll limit it to two things: the quality of the ingredients and the little touches. First a quick disclaimer: we did not have master Shunei but another chef. We got a call earlier warning us he was sick. Looking briefly at reviews it seems it’s not an unique case. Second little point: we were only eight. I’m saying it because I’ve seen comments mentioning tables. In our case we were eight at the bar. So, the ingredients: the fish was amazing. For instance, the mackerel was to die for. So the quality of the ingredients, the cut and the preparation. It’s simple as that. Or is it? Well they added little touches (specific oils etc…), but extremely subtle that enhance the sushi. Then you have the all atmosphere of the sushi ya. It’s very close to Sushi B in terms. We were fewer there so the atmosphere was a bit more intimate. But Sushi B has its quality (check my review and compare the price). But I have to admit that I could go alone in both, just to admire the show and the skill displayed. Amusingly, when we were there we were the only table not celebrating a birthday (so no cake for us, “but for me it was a Tuesday “). Actually, I’m saying it because I do think they are right, and it’s a nice and original birthday (or anniversary) celebration dinner. Clearly deserves its star.

The best sushi experience ever. The reservation of the restaurant was not hard. Most of the customers were foreign. They have 120€ and 180€ menus and it was definitely worth every penny. You can really taste that they know so so so much of the fish and they really care about the ingredients they use. They tell you to eat the sushi within 7 sec after they put in on the plate in front of you.

Finally a new authentic sushi bar in Paris. Everything has been thought to offer you a realistic Japanese experience from the decoration to the service. The fish is selected everyday with daily delivery from Japan (not carbon free). You’ll also find a fine selection of sake. The service is amazing. If you can afford this Omakasse experience don’t hesitate.

Everything is perfect, from their friendly welcome to the Japanese chef's meticulousness. For the price you pay, you'll experience traditional Japanese cuisine at its finest. High quality fish and ingredients, fresh wasabi and sauces Cleanliness and authentic interior

Fabulous omakase in a modern cathedral like room. The squid roll was particularly unique and the tuna was silky and melt in your mouth. Recommend ordering the regular omakase and selecting your favorite pieces as additional if still hungry afterwards. I found the additional elements of the larger omakase to be underwhelming.

Amazing omakase experience! Plus points: - all in all very good fish quality - most tender unagi I ate so far - loved the mackerel - shrimp and lobster were so sweet - very good and efficient service - nice ambience - very concentrated sushi chef, they served many customers at different time slots at the same time Minus points (this is critique on a high level) - toro could have been more tender - because they served many customers at different time slots it felt a little bit rushed and less intimate like in some omakase/kaiseki restaurants where they explained the ingredients and their origin in detail which would have been a pleasant experience too
