Shinsei

Crafted by the wives of famed Dallas chefs Dean Fearing (Fearing’s) and Kent Rathbun (Abacus), Shinsei is a sushi-centric, pan-Asian restaurant that Lynae Fearing and Tracy Rathbun have shot through and through with obligatory hip and an Eastern philosophical energetic vibe that crimps conversation, even though Buddha once said a man is not to be considered a good man just because he is an able talker. That is why if you can maneuver around these sensual challenges, you’ll be rewarded with food that is near sacramental in its ritualistic beauty. Miso-broiled black cod. Orange ginger-braised kobe short ribs. Coconut chicken jalapeño poppers. Sushi that touches the tongue like a brush of satin. A culinary illumination.
