    Tuna from Japan
    Jason G.

    We visited New Year's Eve and ate like kings and queens! Miyazaki A5 Wagyu from Japan on a Rock Jodlri YakitoriJI Chicken skewers Charred edamame with lemon garlic soy sauce Crispy Shrimp California Roll Sashimi flown in from Japan - Butterfish Back9Dallas Roll Double Pleasure Roll Full bar, too, with holiday drinks. Fantastic service from Rachel but Shun uses a team so there was always someone stopping to delivery food or drinks and as soon as we finished a dish someone picked it up. Really a nice touch. All in for this experience was $276 with drinks.

    Went here to get our sushi fix and upon walking in i was definitely impressed with the classy black decor of the restaurant. Service was really good, all the waiters were very attentive. We got the crispy shrimp which i would skip for next time. The crunch and the flavor was good but the shrimp itself was overcooked and the sauce just tasted like sriracha mayo, it wasn't anything special. Their pork belly miso skewer was surprisingly what stood out the most during our meal. the 8 piece omakase was good, but nothing mindblowing. I would've appreciated a written down description of each flavor pairing as the waiter just told us everything in one go as she presented the plate of sushi for us. This sushi restaurant is definitely on the pricey side.

    Swam into Shun for to fulfill a sushi craving, and I came out pretty satisfied. Service is pretty standard, with all the food coming out in a timely manner. I was in awe by the decor, especially the fish chandelier. We ordered the omakase, crispy shrimp, and the miso pork belly. The sushi was tasty, with a lot of fun pairing flavors.

    Went here for my dad's birthday and I have to say was impressed with the place overall! Very nice restaurant for special events and date nights. We went during lunch so it was not as busy. I definitely liked the decor and ambiance of the place. For sure upscale than most sushi restaurants in the area and conveniently located next by 121 McKinney. We ordered an assortment of foods (see pics) and sampled each one. All were super tasty!! For not being that busy, I would have to say that the sushi took some time to get out but we did order quite a bit. The chirashi presentation was pretty cool as well so I guess worth the wait if you're into that like I am lol. It was my first time but my parents have been there a few times and like this place. I'll definitely come back and try the rest of their menu! Price: $$-$$$$ (depending what on you order) Service: overall good, friendly Ambiance: 4.5 stars

    SHUN falls into a spot where most of the omakase experiences in DFW eventually ends up. It's where the sushi is good but there's nothing outstanding about it that makes the experience stands out from the rest. If you've had other omakase in DFW, you won't find anything new here. The nigiri is on par with the rest of the choices around town. Albeit the yakitori does stand out a little. The atmosphere can get loud and be distracting when you're trying to listen to the chef talk.

    Stylish spot with room to grow Shun definitely brings a chic vibe--the design is beautiful and sets the tone for an elevated dining experience. The cocktails were well-crafted, and the plating on each dish was impressive. It's clear they care about presentation. Service was solid--friendly, professional, and well-paced throughout the evening. No complaints there. The food, though, was inconsistent. A few dishes delivered on flavor and creativity, but others fell flat--either under-seasoned or just not as memorable as you'd expect given the price. For a place with this kind of polish, I was hoping for more depth across the menu. Overall, it's a nice spot and worth a visit if you're nearby, but I wouldn't rush back. With a few tweaks to the menu, it could easily be a standout.

    Food was fresh & yummy, ambiance was great, and the service was exceptional. My only complaint, which is hardly a complaint, is that the menu could be a little more creative to match comparable sushi restaraunts.

    OMG! This has expeditiously moved up to my favorite Japanese Restaurant. I am soooo serious. I went here on a rainy Monday. I was in the area and searched Yelp for a great recommendation. Thank you YELP! I am so very delighted and captivated by this place. From the interior beginning at the front door to the back of the building this place is IT!!! Oh and the food smh.... ‍ my taste buds were peaked and highly pleased. I enjoyed every bite down to the last drop. I ordered from the lunch menu. This is what I had: 20/10 Edamame with lemon garlic soy sauce- bursting with flavor. The grilled style along with the flavors are spot on and the best I have had. No reason to not have it this way going forward. A lunch combination (not sure of the name) including soup, salad, sushi, and a roll. Great price and delicious options. 10/10 Miso soup- tasty, perfectly seasoned, warm, satisfying. 10/10 Salad- great fresh ingredients, I love the crunch element. Dressing is tasty a great mix of ingredients. 15/10 Sushi Roll- not sure what the roll is called. It was well put together. Fresh ingredient and Delicious flavors. Loved it! 12/10 Sushi- various options of high grade pieces. The freshness and flavor is so on point. I am really pleased with the quality and specific attention to its detail. 10/10 Sake- great balanced flavor, smooth I plan to try EVERYTHING on the menu! I mean it!!

    Miso pork belly
    Kyla H.

    My visit to Shun was a treat! The decor and interior are classy and elevated. Our server was wonderful and was very helpful in answering any questions we had. Miso pork belly (8.5/10): The meat was marinated well, with juicy thick cuts of meat. Uni (10/10): Can't go wrong with uni Sizzling eel rice (8/10): Very delicious! The hot stone bowl elevated this dish. Typically with eel dishes, the fish is drowned in eel sauce. This was great because you could really taste the eel. However, we would have preferred either less rice or more eel since the ratio feels unbalanced. Sashimi premium (7/10): The fish selection was good, eight types of fish for two people! There was uni included for this price point as well which was a nice surprise. My main criticism for Shun is regarding the sashimi premium, particularly the smoked salmon, scallop, and mackerel. Typically, mackerel is not served in a chef special because it's a bit controversial. I was surprised they served it in the first place compared to sea bream or yellowtail. Same goes for the smoked salmon. The scallop given to us was merely half a scallop; We expected each serving to be a full piece, butterflied. The scallop was delicious, but it felt skimpy to only give half per person. I would definitely come back to Shun because of its great location and good quality sushi. We would just stick to ordering a la carte, however.

    Really good for our first visit! We weren't very hungry so we didn't order too much but what we did order was very good, we especially loved the lemon garlic edamame. Will definitely be back!

    Shun has THE BEST SUSHI!!! My husband and I stopped by for lunch a few weeks ago and we've been hooked ever since! They offer a wide variety of fish and their menu is always changing which is so awesome. The rolls are great too. Upscale sushi spot in McKinney and service is fantastic.

    Angela L.

    Everything was excellent, but if you come here for one thing let it be the sushi - this is the freshest, best quality raw fish I've had so far in the DFW area. Deliciously done nigiri and a beautiful chirashi bowl were our standouts of the night! We also had the wagyu rice - also delicious, but nothing crazy in my opinion. I would definitely skip it next time for more sushi. We were one of the first people in the restaurant, so our service was fast (and polite as well!). We'll come back for another date night ASAP!

    Foie gras skewer
    Andy P.

    Was excited to try the chirashi bowl and omakase... both were okay. Felt the chirashi bowl was a little lacking in flavor and the omakase flavors were all the same. The foie gras skewer was pretty good.... Was also pretty impressed with the tako wasabi! One of the better ones I've had!

    OK, this was such a random stop but when I tell you, it will not be one of my favorite spots I mean…read moreit.... I picked the booth in the back. It was perfect for me. Five people could've easily sent here, but I want the hopeful to myself. I could see the whole restaurant from sitting right where I am and it feels perfect. I just stopped in for a quick bite to eat, hoping to get some fried rice and I came in and found my favorite thing on the menu... bang bang shrimp... and there is such a backstory for me and bang bang shrimp but just numb last night my family chose to go to Olive Garden instead of going to bonefish Grill. I really want a bang bang shrimp and today guess what I ordered??? you got it bang bang shrimp!!! and it came out first before the other entrée which was veggie fried rice. My bill is about $27 and that's fine because I'm the main character of the story and every grain of rice was worth it. Perfect place for a self-care day that I stumbled across. Oh and let me not forget my server, Ajah. She was so adorable and so kind. I just wanted to take her home and put her in my pocket and pull her out anytime I need to pick me up or Bestie to talk to. The food was beyond delicious and the service was beyond great 10 out of 10, but definitely come back again!!!

    3.5 The food wasn't bad but I've just been to other places…read morein McKinney that had better selections for sushi. TLDR: Their menu was massive with so many different options which I think is good for people who want to try different things but it may be a little too big of a menu. Food was just ok. It may be beneficial to lessen items on menu and really focus on some key dishes they want to highlight. Everything imo was priced a little on the high side, at least $1-2 more than I would pay for the quality of the dish. They do pack their specialty rolls with a lot of ingredients and with inflation I'm sure they priced it accordingly to keep their business running, so I'm not docking off too much points for that. Review: They offered regular sushi rolls but disappointing to see that yellowtail was not on their menu for rolls (they did have it as an option for 2pc sushi/sashimi). I ordered a smoked salmon 2pc sushi which was pretty good and decently sized so probably worth the ~$5 price point for 2pc. I did not order any other ones from the 2pc menu so not sure if all the fish are portioned that way. Regarding their regular rolls, my husband enjoyed the Philadelphia rolls and said he could taste the smoked salmon, so for both of us a win on the smoked salmon. My other order was part of their specialty rolls...Salmon Lover priced at ~$13 with 8pc. Imo the pieces were quite small for a specialty roll and it tasted ok. There was supposed to be a honey wasabi sauce on there which I felt like was overpowered by the amount of spicy mayo on the dish. I wanted to like it so badly but I figured reading off of the ingredients list that it would have a kick to it, and it did not. It's not marked as a spicy roll, so probably not intended to be spicy? But with spicy mayo and jalapeño surely there would be some mild kick to it, and the flavor just kinda fell flat and tasted like...too much mayo. The highlight of this experience was the service. The young lady who took our order was super nice and cheery. Checked up on us at appropriate times and I saw she was also working on other tasks around the restaurant. I am willing to try this place again in the future as the vibes were nice, it def gives Japanese izakaya and looks like a good place to have dinner with some friends. Maybe I'll try their ramen instead next time!

The staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, which immediately set a positive tone for the experience. The menu offered a great variety with plenty of options, and I really appreciated that items were clearly marked to indicate whether they contained raw fish. That's a thoughtful touch that makes the menu more approachable for guests who may be new to sushi or prefer cooked options. Presentation-wise, the rolls looked fantastic and were plated beautifully. The flavors were good as well. However, the one thing that held the experience back for me was the portion size of the rolls. Some of them were extremely large--my Rock & Roll was so big that fitting a single piece comfortably in my mouth was a challenge. Sushi is traditionally meant to be eaten in one bite to enjoy the balance of rice, fish, and fillings. When the pieces get too large, it can throw off that balance and make the eating experience a bit messy. I also found the eel sauce to be unusually thick--almost molasses-like--which didn't quite have the smooth, glossy texture I typically enjoy. Overall, it's still a solid spot worth trying, especially if you enjoy larger rolls and generous portions. For me personally, the size of the rolls disrupted the balance I look for in sushi, so it may not become my regular spot--but others may really enjoy it.

They have your traditional sushi options and a lot of kitchen items as well, in case you don't care for sushi. Everything I've ordered here, however, has been really good, and you can't really go wrong. Their sashimi is really fresh, and their nigiri is also always spot on. I will always order tako wasabi anywhere I go that has it, so this was a must for me. The ikageso was also really good and cooked well. The squid was tender and not chewy like it can sometimes get when fried. I also tried one of their specialty items the last time I went, the yuzu hotachi. This was scallop and yellowtail with asparagus, garlic, micro cilantro greens, on a bed of this delicious yuzu creme brulee aioli sauce. The sauce was like nothing I've ever had before with the perfect amount of sweet and umami flavors. My goodness, this dish was so good, I could've eaten this all day. Overall, your bill can add up pretty quickly here, but it's a pretty solid sushi joint in this area.
