Reviews for Shima Japanese Restaurant in Hialeah, FL
Nice touch of a variety of sushi. Choose your sushi by boat/ plate, or order from the menu. Great tasting sushi and deserts.... Great prices and friendly staff. Read more
Wait time was 40 minutes on a weekday. In the sitting area you can see the dirty plates and the dirty walls full of splattered... food. The waiter was not attentive at all. My son dropped his chopstick and we waited over 15 minutes to get a chopstick. Theboats were not assorted constantly, most were empty or the same only a few were different. Food was ok, but you are better offordering from the menu. Not impressed. Read more
THE FOOD : -Chicken teriyaki rice bowl was delicious and I highly recommend for my non seafood lovers . -Sweet and hot chicken... platter comes with miso soup 6/10 . The chicken was not spicy at all and the chicken tasted alright. the chicken teriyaki was1000 % better -Cleopatra roll Alaskan dream , the shima roll All of them were amazing ! I would rate the Alaskan dream thelowest because it had too much cream cheese ,it was overpowering . PRICE : is great it was $120 between 4 people ! And we werestuffed PLACE : it took about 40 minutes to sit but once you sit you can eat immediately from the sushi boats going around .It?s SUPER CASUAL like you can go in a hoodie , sweatpants and slides . It?s a small place ,located in a big plaza .a good spotfor locals to get yummy sushi . Overall we enjoyed our food and will be recommending ! Read more
I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. The boats add a nice touch even if they tend to get stuck. It is a pretty small place... so there aren?t many waiters but they are very attentive when they get a chance. Read more
The revolving boats sushi were cute and different than a conveyor belt style of sushi. On a Saturday night, the wait time was... around 30-45 minutes and there were only two servers. Service was slow and not attentive. The boat sushi were continuous thesame type of sushi rolls. There was not a large amount of variety and the boats were continuously getting empty. It seems likethere was only one sushi chef that did all the raw sushi rolls for here and to go orders. The sushi and fried items was good andfresh. The Japanese Omelette Rice was ok. Not worth $20. The restaurant is a bit run down as well and there were two portableA/Cs around the facility. I would highly recommend putting names on the revolving sushi. Read more
Finding Jewels in your own neighborhood is such a delight! My brother recommended this restaurant. I heard the door click open... at 6pm and walked in to rotating boats of fresh sushi. My 20 oz Sapporo beer was a perfect pairing. You are charged a fewdollars per plate that you grab and I had to stop after 6 plates. Sooo delicious. Read more
I was very excited to try this place after hearing many great reviews about it and I waited an hour to be seated. Unfortunately... I was very under impressed at the quality and range of sushi on the boats. If you love Mayo and artificial crab this place isfor you. If you love authentic sushi with higher end fish then don?t even bother coming here. Everything was mediocre and subpar. I?m still shocked at how blah my whole experience was. The over use of Mayo and artificial crab just ruined it. For havingsuch a big fan base, this restaurant really has a lot of work to do and really could step its game up if they served a largervariety of sushi. The prices were good, the sushi was bad, but I definitely won?t be back unless they start serving less Mayoand artificial crab dishes and more authentic real fish rolls. Truly disappointed. Not worth the wait, don?t fall for the hype. Read more
ÇÇÇ Our first visit here was about a year ago and it was honestly spectacular. The place does not look like much on the... outside, and the inside is not flashy. But what it lacks in glamour, it more than makes up in flavor and experience. The sushiboats are a fun experience, and what I thought would be average tasting sushi, turned out to be great, honestly every dish wasamazing. We cannot wait to return. Definitely recommend Read more
