In Short
Conveniently located between the Walk of Fame and the 101 freeway, this roomy, classically elegant L-shaped sushi bar and restaurant specializes in bargain lunches like chicken curry with tempura or a chef's choice sushi combo. Daily specials are pinned up on scraps of paper behind the bar; patrons can also choose from 18 different cut rolls on the menu. Desserts offer three takes on ice cream: Plain, tempura-fried or rolled in soft mochi.

Insider Tips
ParkingThe lot is small for the number of businesses served, so be prepared to wait for someone to leave.
What to DrinkMost Japanese restaurants offer sake, but this one highlights no less than nine varieties, served properly cold.

the hostess thinks she's the bomb, which is why she's a hostess at a sushi bar, in a strip mall.... we sat at a table instead of the bar and some of our sushi actually came out... warm.... we told our server who smiled, said sorry, and that was it. we didn't feel like arguing with her to take it off our bill so we paid it and left, probably won't return.
Cons: warm sushi and awful parking lot

i have been to many so called great sushi restaurants in l.a and in japan and shintaro is my favorite for taste and a fun night. sit at the sushi bar, ask for chef kenny, usually he is off on tuesdays but when he is in he is usually in the middle section. try the saba sushi or sushimi, try the ono sushimi or sushi, ask him how the torro is on the night, he will tell you if its the best , the fattiest or not so fatty.......... i love the fattiest the better, so buttery and creamy........ the miso soup is great too, i have been to koi and it is just a celebrity hang out .........over priced and bad service........ shintaro is much better than koi and half the price . it does get packed out , so get there early . we take a lot of japanese clients there and they all love it . the green tea icecream is to die for as well if you have a sweet tooth . i prefer to have another saba .......and wash it down with the green hot tea. shintaro , one of the best restaurants in l.a....... (my other favs are , spago and the ivy on the shore )
Pros: GREAT JAPANESE FOOD AND DRINKS AND SERVICE WITH A SMILE
Cons: GET THERE EARLY TO SIT AT THE SUSHI BAR
