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!

My friends and I had a great time at By Sang. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. The stand out dish to me is the dry aged duck. It was full of unami. We also enjoyed the chirashi donburi with the fresh seafood and also the fact we can make our own hand sushi with the seaweed sheets.
