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 sushi here is by no means eyes rolling to the back of your head delicious (there are a few places in LA that can do that) but it's pretty good, especially for the area it's in. Most of the great sushi places in LA are in West LA, Santa Monica, or even the valley, but it's been difficult finding a place farther East that's decent. We tried Shintaro on a friend's recommendation and I'm glad we did. It's the best place I've tried in Hollywood. They have some innovative dishes and the fish was pretty fresh. I will definitely eat here again. The restaurant was surprisingly larger than I thought, it looks smaller from the outside, and it had a good vibe to it. My boyfriend and I eat sushi several times a week, we always stick to the same great places, and we agreed that Shintaro was very decent.
Pros: Good service, good food
Cons: Not the best sushi ever

This is a good place for an off night (casual, not fancy). Sushi is good, service is good... sit in the main room with the Sushi Bar. The Garlic String beans are a tasteful surprise... so is the Nasu Miso (sweet Eggplant). The only downside is the parking lot --it is free but spaces are limited so you may need to wait a while. Avoid going when the Hollywood Bowl is on -- you'll get stuck in bad traffic.
