Shiro's Sushi Restaurant Review

Fans of straightforward, traditional sushi flock to Shiro’s. If the space is rather plain, the mood is usually lively, and from the first bite, the food commands your undivided attention. Shiro Kashiba was a pioneer in the Seattle sushi scene, and though he isn't there anymore, the restaurant is left as his legacy. Seafood is local, whenever possible, and supremely fresh. Let the chefs create...

Upon arrival, there was a line out the door for one of the tables in the restaurant, or you could eat at the sushi bar with no wait. We decided to...

Stopped in for a light meal after seeing a review-- excellent food and service. Uni was the best outside of Japan... Great rolls too, especially liked the soft shelled crab. Nice cold sake completed the experience-- oishi!

I live in Austin, TX while my business partner is in Seattle. I frequently come up with reasons to fly to Seattle just so that I can eat sushi at Shiro's. Yes, we have Uchi here in Austin, but truly it's nothing compared to the omakase at this place. If it's your first time I recommend getting in line ~...

Had dinner here and tried a variety of their specials of the day. The wait staff was attentive & informative and made some suggestions of offerings. The food was fresh with excellent presentation. The tuna sampler was fantastic - melt in the mouth! Definitely a must for sushi lovers.

It's hard to believe that this little corner eatery serves some of Seattle's best sushi. But then, considering chef Shiro Kashiba's formidable reputation of having served important Japanese delegates and ministers, it's not really surprising. Starting off in the city with the now popular Nikko restaurant, he installed himself and his considerable talents in this simple but elegant Belltown...
