We were seated within 10 minutes without a reservation so that was nice. I ordered a beer and water. Waitress brought beer, but no water. I asked again for water, she acknowledged and walked off.

My girlfriend and I ate here on a Thursday evening. We made reservations and we were immediately seated upon arrival. We ordered the black cod (my favorite item on the menu) and some sushi.

For a long time, Shiro's was my favorite sushi restaurant in Seattle. A friend lived in Belltown, and we used to go regularly. Dinner for 2 cost about $60 without alcoholic beverages. The sashimi is to die for; I recommend the sashimi dinner very highly. In addition, the oysters on the half shell starter is wonderful. The oysters leave Elliot's... more

If you're in Seattle, go to Shiro's, you will not be sorry. This is probably the best sushi we have ever had. You must sit at the sushi bar and if possible, sit on Shiro's end. However, any of the sushi chefs will give you a wonderful experience. Very fresh, very tasty and worth every penny you will spend there! more

Fabulous. Classic sushi place with super high quality... no frills. The sushi chef has obviously been doing this for decades and decades. This is real, old-school sushi. more

Shiro-san sold the place to 'non-Japanese' buyers.. so I expect it to go down hill. more
