Message from Shiro's

Seattle's finest and most authentic sushi chef
  • Variety of sushi rolls
  • Catering available
  • Sashimi offered

In 1994, Shiro opened up his namesake, Shiro?s in the hip Belltown district of downtown Seattle. Shiro?s blending of classical Japanese technique with the Pacific Northwest?s wealth of local seafood and ingredients has, as Zagat says, ?set the bar that others aspire to.? He has catered to Japanese Prime Ministers, captains of industry, and world renowned artists and athletes. Shiro continues his daily shopping rounds religiously at his secret seafood suppliers and if you?re lucky (or patient), you?ll be seated in front of him to experience the freshest, most succulent sushi in town.

Wonderful 5 Star Rating - World class

I love sushi. Sometimes I crave sushi so much I go on a binge and eat it for days in a row. My favorite spot is sitting at Shiro's sushi bar. The atmosphere is very plain jane but the quality of the fish is amazing. Extremely fresh and oh so delicious. Watching Shiro is really like watching an artist at work. Don't order off the menu, just sit back and let Shiro san feed you. It's pricey but sushi is one thing that you shouldn't pinch pennies on.

Best Sushi in Seattle 5 Star Rating - World class

I've been going to Shiro's for about a year now, and is BY FAR, the best place for sushi in Seattle.
The trick is to get there early to get a seat at the sushi bar. The experience of just letting the chefs make you their unique concoctions, puts you into sushi heaven. And everything is so fresh. I've never been disappointed.

Pros: Sushi!!!

Highest Quality 5 Star Rating - World class

I've enjoyed many memorable sushi experiences at Shiro's. The experience is much different when choosing table service versus the sushi bar. I always sit at the sushi bar and put myself in Shirosan's hands. He always suprises me with the freshest items of the day and continues to feed me until I cannot eat another bite. The fish served is the highest quality. The decor is nothing to rave about but who cares when the food is this good?

Pros: Fresh, High Quality
Cons: None

sushi was great but service was terrible 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I can only say how good the sushi was, but how terrible the service was. It was like they didn't even care that we were there. The staff bumped into me numerous times and seemed to completely forget about us. We would have stayed and ordered more, but the though of staying there much longer was more than we could bare!
