A-Mei said: I believe the public's impression of Xunle is nothing more than “expensive” and “high-end”! For ordinary people like us, we would only come here with someone important on special occasions. But actually, Xunle now also offers lunch sets, where you can enjoy a complete meal from appetizers, soup, to the main course for just five or six hundred yuan, and the ingredients are certainly not compromised. It's suitable for business professionals to have a meeting meal here without losing face, or to come try this place, which you might not usually enter, during a weekday break.

“Shun” in Japanese kanji means “seasonal” or “in-season,” and for Japanese cuisine that emphasizes craftsmanship and seasonal ingredients, the word “shun” represents the core value of this restaurant.“Shun Le Seasonal Japanese Cuisine,” which owns its own deep-sea tuna fishing boats, presents a streamlined experience from the ocean source to the chef’s skillful preparation, delivering refined dishes to guests. This is a key feature of Shun Le.In addition, the seafood here primarily features imports from Japan, supplemented by local Taiwanese catches, along with other seasonal ingredients. The ability to select quality ingredients is undoubtedly a key factor that sets an outstanding restaurant apart.

Although it is not positioned as an affordable Japanese restaurant, with the spirit of promoting refined Japanese cuisine, Shunsuke has also launched an unprecedented economical lunch set (with two options: $520 and 680), as well as a limited-time anniversary campaign in June offering 50% off nigiri sushi (campaign period: 2017/6/5–6/30). If you’ve never thought of stepping into Shunsuke, this is definitely a great chance to experience high quality without a high price—come here and treat your taste buds to a delightful experience!
