At Shinya Shokudo, we strive to bring Japanese tradition to Seattle where guests can get a taste of genuine Japanese Yakitori from an experienced chef who came from one of the best Yakitori restaurant…
the Curry Katsu Donburi Curry Katsu Donburiカレ-かつ丼 was crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside and the skin/breading was not slipping off like most do, the Zaru Soba Zaru Soba / さるそば was refreshing, very fresh taste, noodles are amazing quality, although my only concern was that the wasabi was in the same container the green onions were so I, as a green onion enjoyer, dumped the entire thing of wasabi in my noodles unknowingly... I had to rinse my noodles. The green onions blended in with how green the wasabi is and so I ate a whole thing of it, but to be fair, I can say that their wasabi is fresh!

Curry Wagyu Sirloin With Omelet Rice has the thinnest almost transparent sheet I think was the eggs. It's so thin I couldn't taste to confirm if it was egg or not.
The meat was soft. Only a few thin slices. The whole container is filled with plain white rice. Only a few bites of meat and the maybe egg on top.
Curry Katsu With Omelet Rice is still mostly white rice, but the chicken is more substantial.
Garlic Beef X2 Prime Strip Loin was tasty.
Be prepared for extremely small portions. You can spend close to $100 in this restaurant, and it will only be a light snack.
Unless you want to gorge yourself on white rice.

The portions are miniscule. Miso Fried Tofu Miso Fried Tofu 味噌油揚げ is not even enough for a proper mouthful.
Tonkatsu Tonkatsuとんかつ is mostly breading with no detectable meat on the biggest pieces on the ends.
This place is a complete rip-off.

Wagyu Tataki Donburi Seared Wagyu Rice Bowl is so fresh and delicious potions smaller than expected. Seaweed Salad Seaweed Salad as expected. I will definitely come back for this again :)

I was a little disappointed in Wagyu Tataki Donburi Seared Wagyu Rice Bowl. While it was flavorful and tender, it arrived grey and uniform, as if it had been streamed to well done. Overpriced for what I got.
As always, the Karaage Japanese Fried Chicken was perfect, and I get it nearly every time I order here. It is why I keep coming back.
The Tamagoyaki Sweet Japanese Omelet was sweet and moist, but was served as cubes rather than slices. I do wish I could get it warm.
The Shinya Fries are always great.
