It was EXCELLENT been coming here for three or four times and we love it. It's close to home. The food is good the place is very clean and the weight staff is excellent. I will always come here. Excellent fresh sushi.
I've been coming to Shima a few times a month for lunch over the course of 3 years! Can't believe I haven't reviewed Shima yet, oops. They open at 11:30am for lunch and have a nice menu of something for everyone. My mom doesn't like raw fish but is totally fine for the chicken katsu. My friend I come here with only eats sashimi and it's super good she says! I like baked rolls and get the lion king 10/10! It's a California roll with baked salmon on top. I came here today with a friend and got the lion king roll, a salad and she got the mackerel. I had a bite to taste it and it's awesome!
When I'm back in the South Bay and craving sushi, I've really been enjoying going to Shima Sushi. The sushi is fresh and flavorful, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I enjoyed the chicken karage-- so crispy and delicious. I have also ordered the Camden and Jackpot roll which were both delicious. Tempura is crispy and perfect. If you're looking for a great sushi spot in San Jose, I highly recommend giving Shima Sushi a try!
Great sushi spot tucked in the large shopping center on Camden and Union. There's lots of parking and a decent amount of seating for a small restaurant. The staff were all very nice and attentive. I dined in on a Friday night and the ambiance was busy and lively. I noticed there was a lot of regulars dining in, always a good sign :-). For a sushi restaurant, I was impressed with their vegetarian options! They have vegetarian udon and 5 vegetarian rolls. Along with the traditional apps. -Edamame: salty and savory -Miso soup: delicious and actually hot! Perfect for a cold night -Seaweed salad: a good portion and nicely seasoned -Vege roll: the only difference between this roll and the caterpillar roll is the mango and portion size. The vege roll was perfect for me portion wise. The pickled veggies were delicious! Definitely recommend Shima Sushi!
The service was amazing the staff makes you feel at home. The food tasted amazing all the food was super fresh from the miso to the salad and the sushi rolls! Loved everything! The ambience was very welcoming I saw an everyone here was family groups.
BEST SUSHI IVE EVER HAD! I don't know how this place has been here and I didn't know about it! The decorations are perfect. All of the staff are extremely friendly. Other sushi places I have to put a lot of spicy mayo or soy sauce for taste, but here the rolls are good just the way that they are!
Finally got to try Shima Sushi. Food was delicious and fresh, beers ice cold. Owner/chef was super friendly, service was great and restroom super clean. Would definitely come back and will recommend to friend.
Found this place by accident. I was looking for the Armadillo Willy's that was in this strip mall. Its gone! Saw this place and decided I was in the mood for a bento box ( I do not eat sushi!). The food was flavorful & I appreciated they have regular & lower sodium soy sauce on the tables. I got the teriyaki chicken with mixed tempura vegetables. I ate most of my lunch (Bento Box A comes with 2 entrees). Good amount of food for the price of $17.99. Also got a large Sapporo beer to wash it down.
I'm always coming to eat in this shopping center but never really noticed Ishi Shima Sushi until recently. It's pretty dark from the outside so I always assumed it was closed, but it's not! Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Called in and ordered for pickup. Sushi was ready pretty quick - about 10 minutes. I ordered the flying dragon roll, edamame, and a hamachi hand roll. It was pretty averagely priced for all of that, just over $30. Sushi was fresh, I liked both the hand roll and the dragon roll, would order both of them again, as well as try others. Edamame was a little bland without any seasoning, but still nice and fresh. Excited to come back and dine in next time!
