Shiro Japanese Bistro

Atmosphere is chill, not too big or too small of a place but cozy. Sushi is top notch! Presentation of every dish is beautiful and flavor is superb. The only suggestion is the short ribs could be a bit less salty. If you’re looking for top quality sushi near downtown SA, this is the place.

This was exquisite... absolutely the best sushi I have had. Nobody puts quality into their work like Shiro, I was very impressed! Mathew K was our server and he sets the bar for customer service. All in all this was a gem of a fi d and we will be returning very soon!

Matthew K. was our server, and he was absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I recently visited this sushi restaurant, and we were a little nervous at first since we’re not used to eating sushi. However, we wanted to try something new, and we’re so glad we did! Matthew K was so sweet and incredibly knowledgeable about the sushi options and the different types of fish. We also wanted to order something to drink, and he took the time to recommend pairings would complement the fish perfectly. Honestly trust him because it really tasted amazing . He really made the whole experience so special for us. We don’t normally do reviews but this needed one. The chef was equally impressive—he took his time crafting each dish, making it not only insanely appetizing but also an experience on its own. The quality of the fish was incredible, and I’ve never tasted anything this good before. We ordered the Gyoza, the Playmate Roll, and our absolute favorite: the Tenen Buri (Wild Yellowtail). Everything was amazing! If you’re feeling nervous or unsure about how to branch out and try sushi, this is the perfect place to go. Not only will you get high-quality, amazing items, but there are also wonderful servers like Matthew who will guide you and make you feel comfortable. The care and attention they put into every detail truly made us feel like we were experiencing authentic sushi. We are now forever customers because the quality and experience are unmatched. 100% recommend!

Amazing quality of food and great service! Everything sounded delicious on the menu and was difficult to choose what to order, which is a good problem. My wife and I will for sure make multiple visits in the future to try more off the menu. Highly recommend you give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

This place lives up to the comments. Immaculate service and attention to detail with food was phenomenal. The blue fin tuna nigiri is an absolute star. This is the best sushi I’ve ever had in San Antonio. Sitting at the sushi bar and watching the chefs create the perfect piece was an absolute experience. I will definitely be back.

I finally came here! I was so excited and not at all disappointed:) Lau(Ren) was our server and helped us decide what to try when it came to an unfiltered sake. We also ordered the Charcoal Grilled Chasu, a couple rolls which were the Show Me Your Moves, and another one which I can’t remember what the name was, but it was great! Very nice atmosphere, it gave off an upscale and relaxed vibe. I will be back!

If you’re looking for the best sushi in town, look no further than Shiro Restaurant. Everything about this place is exceptional. The sushi is incredibly fresh—each bite is a testament to their quality and authenticity. We ordered 2 hand rolls, 3 specialty rolls, gyoza, and the toro crispy rice, and every single dish was a standout. The gyoza, in particular, was exceptionally good—perfectly crisp on the outside and bursting with flavor inside. The toro crispy rice deserves a special mention. It’s something I’ve been looking for ever since moving here from Colorado, and Shiro is the first restaurant to offer it. It was absolutely worth the wait—perfectly crispy and paired with the freshest toro. The service was just as impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. Having a Japanese chef in the kitchen truly elevates the experience—you know you’re getting sushi made with expertise and tradition. This is a 5-star experience across the board, both for the food and the service. Shiro is hands down a must-visit for sushi lovers. Highly recommend!

INCREDIBLE experience!!! From when I called to see the wait time, to when we were leaving. Just in awe! When we called the hostess she was very warm and friendly and accommodated us. We sat right in front of the chefs making the nigiri and it was so fun. Drew was our waiter and he made our experience awesome. He was very knowledgeable and gave his recommendations and they were 100! The sushi is the most fresh and best tasting sushi we have ever had. The atmosphere is chill and calm. Very clean. Modern and sophisticated. My husband is gluten free and Drew went out of his way to accommodate and present options that were safe for him. Hands down recommend 1000%! We will definitely be back! I’m sorry my photos aren’t the best. We were so anxious to eat.

This may just be the BEST sushi restaurant I've been to in my LIFE! My husband and I ate here last night to jointly celebrate my belated birthday, an overdue date night, and his BOLC graduation. The place is beautiful with a lovely patio, and overlooks the River Walk. It also has a parking garage conveniently located in the same building two doors down. The staff was incredibly warm. Our waitress, Lizzie was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items. Her recommendations were solid, starting with the Cono del Sur ...sauvingon blanc (I believe). Everything we ordered was delicious! We started the seafood dumplings and demolished them before I could think to snap a picture. Each of the pictured items had high quality ingredients, exquisite textures and complex flavors. We ordered the Crispy Toro along with 3 special rolls: Fresh Start, Lobster Robbery, and Garlic Princess. Our favorite was the Fresh Start roll, followed by the 2. Crispy Toro (not much food but worth it), 3. Lobster Robbery, and 4. Garlic Princess. Do NOT miss this gem on the north end of the River Walk!

Best sushi restaurant I've been to so far in SA! I decided to try this spot out for my birthday and I was really impressed. I have yet to find a sushi restaurant here that has blown me away and this spot checked almost all my boxes. I got the crab croquettes, garlic edamame, lobster roll, and shrimp tempura roll. since I am pregnant there was only limited items I could try. Service was awesome, our waiter was super attentive the whole time and ambiance was so lovely. I love the pink lighting

Growing up with authentic Japanese food, this is one of my top off places that nail the authenticity in San Antonio. If you're wanting a more upscale vibe, Shiro is your place! Their menu sometimes rotates a bit so be sure to follow them on their social medias to stay in the loop on their seasonal offerings. I love the natural light in Shiro and how bright and joyful the staff is. You always receive a warm welcome when you walk into Shiro. I personally enjoy the loop of the projector screen of various clips from Japanese pop culture, from music videos to commercials. You can choose to sit indoors, out on the scenic patio overlooking the famous Riverwalk, or at the sushi bar for a more casual setting. My favorite dish at Shio is the Bara Chirashi. This one is for all of the raw sushi fans out there. The assortment is diverse and fresh, from octopus and ikura, to salmon and yellowtail, you will not find better quality sushi anywhere else in the region. Even the rice is cooked so well and is tasty. If you're not into raw sushi, Shiro offers traditional Japanese dishes with subtle modern twists like teriyaki and soba as well as rolls that have cooked elements to them. I also thoroughly enjoy the Japanese beverage offerings at Shiro. While they sell out quickly when it's in stock, I cannot gatekeep the Kyoto White Yuzu Ale. It is from a craft brewery in Japan and has a crisp, light flavor with hints of yuzu lemon that is perfect for our hot and humid Texas weather. They also have a great selection of sake as well. If you don't know where to go or what to choose, whether it be food or beverage, the staff is so helpful! Shiro is amazing and is a place we find ourselves frequently. This is a great choice for celebrations or showing the city of San Antonio to out of town friends!

This is now our like 10th visit; can't get enough. If there is a place to be adventurous it's here! Don't think we've ever ordered the same thing twice. Tonight reading the menu I thought eh i don't know if we'd like this one- the Fresh Start- Matthew our incredible waiter mentioned it was one of his favorites. We ordered it. Oh my goodness. One of the best things I've probably ever had. The chefs food is actual poetry. Never been to another place like it. My best tip is just go for it- try it. Promise there is nothing subpar on the menu. If you get a chance ask for Matthew too! He is so charming and knowledgeable. Again, we will be back time and time again.

Second time visiting for family birthday dinner! We ordered the Shirashi dish which is combination and several fresh fish - really great. My favorite is still the seafood gyoza and shishito peppers but can't go wrong with anything since their ingredients are so fresh, always quality taste.

This was the first good sushi I have had in San Antonio. Recommend for a good date night vibe! The service was good and the food excellent.

I really wanted to like this place. But on a Saturday evening, service was slow. The place was packed though. But the rating is based on the sushi. They use too many ingredients. It's way overcomplicated. Sushi should be subtle, but this is the opposite. It's like the Vegas of sushi. Not really my style. It's OK. Also street cleaners while outside dining lol that was weird .

Probably one of the BEST sushi places that I have ever been to and we eat a lot of sushi ...great place ...def going back

Came here for an anniversary dinner. We ate at the sushi bar. Restaurant is kind of small but perfect date night environment. They have happy hour until 6 PM. We got there right at the cusp. House sake is only $10. The rising shrimp, crispy spicy tuna and nachos were amazing. The nacho had grilled ono with a mango salsa and sweet potato trips. It was a ratatouille of flavor with umami, smokiness, and sweetness. Crispy tuna just melted in your mouth although it is fried. Rising shrimp was also delicious. For dinner we just ordered more rolls to include summer snow, spicy aguri and toshi+Shiro. The aguri was a little fishy for my liking. The summer snow was my favorite. Came with a ponzu sauce, had all the seafood (crab, tuna, salmon) and had some jalapeno that gave it a kick. The toshi+Shiro was similar to a rainbow roll with tuna at the center but also topped with ebi, salmon and more tuna. Our waitress was Lizzie. She was super attentive and checked in on us very often. She made sure we got all our happy hour items in before 6. She was phenomenal.

Food here is great....pricy but great quality. One of my favorite sushi dishes is here truffle hamachi. Great service. Wouldn't come here for dinner if you only have an hour. Sometimes (2-3 times out of my 6 times here) its taken an hour to get a piece of sushi or edamame strangely.

Great quaint sushi spot in SA. It's one of my faves. Their all day happy hour menu on Sunday is everything and makes things more affordable! The food is fresh! And they make the sushi right in front of you!

Celebrated my birthday at Shiro, this was not my first visit nor will it be my last. The sushi was amazing and I rank it up there with Uchi in Austin. If you have not tried Shiro, you are missing out - definitely a must. During this dining experience we did not have any rolls - all nigiri and sashimi with the A5 hot rock.

This sushi place has the BEST edamame and gyoza that I've EVER had! And I go to a lot of sushi places. They had great service - they recognized they were busy and taking awhile so they brought us drinks on the house - the wait was well worth it! We sat outside by the riverwalk and it was a relaxing time. I will have to go again before I leave Texas.

Probably one of the best sushi places in San Antonio. You'll pay a pretty penny but it's worth it. Service is always wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. It's a small cozy restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the Riverwalk. If you've never tried it I'd definitely come here. I'd recommend it to a friend or for a date.

**Shiro - 5 Stars** Shiro is hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in San Antonio! The fish is always fresh and delicious every time we visit. We usually order the chirashi bowl, which is consistently outstanding. The happy hour menu is also a delight and offers great value. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch sushi in the area.

Hands down best sushi I've had; ever. We're big sushi and nigiri lovers and have found Shiro to be outstanding. It gives Uchi in Austin a run for its money. Shiro is a small restaurant and highly busy. You can expect a bit slower service but the food quality is amazing. Bring layers, it can be a bit chilly inside. We're already planning our next trip to Shiro. Highly recommended!

This place is still my favorite sushi restaurant in San Antonio. Great quality fish. Quick and attentive service. Good atmosphere!

This is, for sure, the best sushi in San Antonio. It's small, crowded, and takes a while for the nigiri to come out. But it's worth it. This is real sushi, not the Americanized mediocre stuff that's so common. Check out some of the other dishes like the gods gift, as well. Also - the matcha ice cream is the best I've had anywhere.

Upscale sushi worth the luxury. The Service was very clean and professional. We shared two rolls and each one had their own complexity. The spin the restaurant has on classic rolls is great. The crispy garlic and the seared fish were a highlight.

Had an amazing birthday dinner here. The entire experience was 10/10. Superb ambiance, delicious, fresh and high-quality ingredients, and great service. I received a complimentary glass of champagne for my birthday which was greatly appreciated. I can't wait to come back and try more items. The entire menu was carefully crafted and thoughtful,everything sounded delicious. The sauce with the karage was amazing and a little bit spicy and verty tangy and flavourful. We ended up keeping to dip other items in there. You can tell a lot of care and attention to detail goes into every dish. This is definitely a standout place in San Antonio that you will love if you're into Japanese food and adventurous flavors with beautifully crafted presentations.

Best sushi I've ever had! Service only adds to the experience. This place will not disappoint! If you're anywhere in San Antonio, make the pilgramage!!

Everything here is delicious. We always do the Exclusive sashimi and is presented like a piece of art. This is a great little place!

Shiro's has the best quality sushi or omakase in San Antonio. For raw fish lovers, make sure to order their 25-piece omakase. The price is worth it! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. Make sure to reserve a seat at their sushi bar to sit in front of the chefs to see your omakase being assembled. Their omakase is well prepared in presentation with nicely sized cuts. Each bite of sushi will give a testament to their freshness and quality, making it the absolute best in town. The attention to detail and personalized touch elevate Shiro compared to other restaurants. Shiro is perfect for dinner whether it be with friends or a date!

This place was incredible. The restaurant itself was small and cozy, it was loud but not too loud. We sat at the bar so we could see the chef making the rolls which was so fun! We ordered Beef Tartar which came in nigiri form with a raw beef mush over rice, mush is a bad word to use because it was delicious ! Then we had nigiri-- escolar and wagyu. They were both amazing. The wagyu was smokey, and flavorful and it MELTED in my mouth. When I finished it I was genuinely sad it was over. Then we had 2 rolls, one was called the play- something and I don't remember the name of the other one but some of the best rolls I've had in my life. The were full of flavor but no one flavor is overwhelming. It was just perfect. I recommend this to anyone who loves sushi!

Wonderful dinner experience with fresh, quality sushi, attentive staff, and parking was free (validated) and easy! The otoro sushi melts in your mouth! Uni was the best we tasted.

There's not a lot of sushi restaurants in San Antonio that can compete with Shiro! Ambiance is very cozy and intimate. Dinner menu looks very thoughtful - they have a menu for each night of service. The sushi was very fresh and the sauces are artfully crafted! We got the lobster nigiri, which had a brown butter sauce on top that melted in your mouth. The Playmate Roll was fresh and the cilantro sauce had a great kick to it. There wasn't anything in the nigiri sampler that I didn't like! Lastly the miso corn on the cob was incredibly - very unexpected flavors but it worked so well together. Highly highly recommend!

Food was amazing! We went for our good friends birthday and food was impeccable. Service was great, ambiance was great and overall a great restaurant in San Antonio. 10/10 will be back again. Next time order more macaroons!! It's always sold out!

I could get verbose as this place never, ever, disappoints. I'll simply say, no place in San Antonio, no place in Texas and possibly beyond has better or fresher sushi!! Every new dish they add moves them that much closer to nirvana!

Went a third time with reservation for a birthday dinner! We ordered a variety of different rolls to share and also the croquette appetizer. I was disappointed that the macarons were unavailable but we got the yuzu pie and sweet potato ice cream. I think the ice cream was too salty but everything else was great!

A great choice for a lovely dinner on a Saturday night! I would definitely recommend a reservation and getting there early because parking in the garage is pretty limited. The food was super good and very fresh! The fish wings were my favorite, they were just cooked so that the salmon and yellowtail collars were fall apart tender and the generous cuts of sashimi were so so fresh! It also seemed like they took great care in preparing each dish and everything came out perfectly.

High quality food, good service, but a bit too pretentious for a sushi bar. Absolutely no special orders They are loath to wander off the menu. Rolls were skinny. But nigiri pieces were large. If you're looking for traditional sushi and a more customer oriented experience, go somewhere else.

Went here on a Saturday night, prolly around 8. We went here with my family and a kid. The host said that they are busy and lack of staff, and I checked their website, I didnt find an online reservation, so I thought they dont take reservation We waited for years just to sat down. I wanted to sit insite bacoz I got a little one and it was kinda chilly. But she said she will contact the owner. Anyways, We sat down outside, waited again for so long. Decided to take food to go. Food- it was good. Food I think pricey. Location- looks like a regular restaurant in my opinion Overall, its great.

Literally the best service and hospitality! Fresh food every time with out a doubt ! Totally recommend this chic place for a cute vibe.

Amazing! A little pricey for the servings but great flavors and unique menu. Would definitely go back.

First time trying this out for date night and I Have to we drove into the parking lot notice signs to scan for parking. When you scan it takes you to a screen for a code ( you get the code from your server) we didn't know that until I went in to ask. The code is good for 4hrs of parking!! We started off with the shrimp gyoza which was amazing! The sauce and gyoza was perfect pair. We ordered the saucy sassy and Arrigato roll and man they were good that I didn't even need soy sauce, I repeat DID NOT need soy sauce to dip. Sake starts off at 9$ for "juice box" Must try this place!

First off, Nineteen Hayku calling themselves the 'Premier' Japanese food in San Antonio is an outright lie. Shiro easily earns that title with a menu and kitchen that churns out thoughtful, eccelctic, authentic and flown-in-fresh cuisine. The dining room is intimate and simple,.focusing the energy of the flow directly into the open kitchen. My only.quibble about the meal were the room acoustics, as everything was cement and hard surfaces, leading the space to be incredibly loud at all times. Pork Chasu was perfectly charcoal grilled. Pepper Fin was executed beautifully. Bright flavor in the citrus soy counterbalanced by the rich tuna. Sea Bass was flakey, buttery and swimming, perhaps a bit too much, in a delicious marinade. Rolls: Yozora and Tropic Thunder. Both solid and generously portioned. Service was outstanding but not over bearing or intrusive. Our server was there when we needed him and a ghost when we didn't. What makes Shiro so strong is that they know they don't need a huge, overly designed space to prove they're at the top of what they do. You don't come here for a rowdy Bachelorette or to livestream dinner. You come here to enjoy truly delicious, calculated food.... Which is why we eat out in the first place, no? Shiro proves that San Antonio is moving forward with higher end concepts that work. Highly recommended.

Wow this place was such a great experience. From the food to the service to the ambiance, it was all 5 stars. Standouts for me were the blue fin tuna and the soft shell crab wrap, but you can't go wrong with anything you choose at this place. Sitting at the sushi bar was also very cool seeing the chefs prepare the food.

My friend Hilary and I are here and... I was Not impressed at all. When we first walked in.. There was a strange air.. To be honest, I did Not feel welcome.. It took close to 2 mins before anyone even spoke to us.. And this place is Very small.. So, by no means were we "lost in the crowd" I almost asked my friend if she would be open to going somewhere else..But I let it go. The menu was big and disorganized..So, trying to decide on something took me longer than normal and our waiter came by every 60 seconds to try and take our order.. It started to make me feel so uncomfortable that I just picked something real quick. I ended up ordering the crab truffles and the seafood Gyoza and Neither were good.. It took a very long time for them to come out and when our waiter brought them out Both were borderline Cold. And both dishes were supposed to be served fresh and hot- And I received it in neither condition. I will NOT be returning. Nope.

First time at Shiro, went in around 1pm on Sunday and got in time for the happy hour. We ordered shiro roll, mixed tempura, shishito pepper, seared toro, soba noodle, bara chirashi and we left full and in awe. Shiro Japanese Bistro is a small and intimate Japanese restaurant that offers an authentic dining experience. The ambiance is cozy, creating the perfect setting for enjoying their delicious Japanese cuisine. The menu features a wide range of traditional dishes, and the food is prepared with great care and skill, resulting in a very good and authentic Japanese dining experience. Whether you're a sushi lover or enjoy other Japanese specialties, Shiro Japanese Bistro is definitely worth a visit.

Amazing experience! Quality of the food and service was top notch! Pricey, but absolutely worth it.

This place is amazing, I've never had a bad experience here. Although you do need to make reservations a little in advance or be prepared to wait, it's worth it. The price point for the food quality is spot on (actually even better than other major sushi places and what they're charging for comparable items) The gyoza pot stickers are worth more than their $13 price tag. The one down side is no cocktails only sake, wine, few select beer. But that's okay! They specialize in sushi not cocktails so I don't mind.

Great sushi restaurant in San Antonio. Each plate was thoughtful crafted. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We got hot line crispy gyoza, crab cream croquette, Hawaiian ono, crispy toro, show me your moves, arigato, saucy sassy, and lobster robbery. Staff was friendly. Make sure to have reservation because the place is on the smaller scale. Overall, would definitely go back.

Sushi was beyond AMAZING ... a bit pricy but worth every dollar ! We will be returning very soon ! Our server we forgot his name ... but he was wonderful! 10/10

Excellent sushi spot in San Antonio. The fish is fresh. Everything we ordered had spectacular flavors. I highly recommend for all sushi lovers. I'm happy we finally found the best sushi restaurant. I suggest sitting at the bar to watch the chefs make the sushi rolls.

Came for lunch. Had the crab croquettes as appetizer, which I highly recommend. We also had four rolls: scallop, lobster, playmate and heat wave. Our favorites were scallop and lobster, but playmate and heat wave were good, but would likely try another two next time.

Shiro has ruined every other sushi restaurant for me. This is the best sushi I've ever had. The saucy sassy is my go to!!! Service is top notch.

Really, really good. The Sassy Saucy (?) was the best roll we had. Fish was buttery and smooth. The food quality was among the best I've had in San Antonio.

Beautiful restaurant right above the river. I sat out in the patio and had a great view. The food was amazing and so fresh tasting. I started with the crab croquettes which were good but not noteworthy. I had the drunken whale sake which was light and fresh tasting and served with cute sake glasses. My friend and I split 3 specialty rolls: the raging bull, I choose you, and the playmate. We enjoyed them all but the playmate was both of our favorite then the raging bull (spicy!) and our least favorite was the I choose you roll. The wait staff was nice but the service was so slow, not sure if it is always like that but if it is expect and lengthy meal. I highly recommend this place, you can tell the ingredients are high quality.
