Great food and good vegetarian (and vegan) options. Knowledgeable service (Molly was excellent), good cocktails and plenty of choice. It's a buzzy vibe especially as we were sat at the bar. Sophisticated Mexican/South American flavours- no Tex Mex here. More expensive than many of the Newtown/Enmore restaurants but not expensive for the quality at all. Will definitely be back.

This is the second time we have visited Shinmachi for an occasion and we weren’t disappointed. Great value food and great service ordered via a tablet. Super easy, and great for large groups or a quick meal. The specials are always amazing too - there’s always an imaginative new culinary delight on the menu!
