Where did the Waitress Go? – Sublime sushi. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and let Aki-San serve us whatever he felt we needed to try. I felt like royalty.... that is until I requested a beverage. The waitresses (there were 4 of them and a hostess for 20 customers most of which were sitting at the sushi bar) were no where to be found. We had to hunt for the green tea, beg for some water and practically pilfer the beer. I will go back, but only to sit at the bar... really, Shiro, you need to get a handle on the waitsta... read more

Terrible service, bad bang for buck – I've been to Shiro nearly a dozen times and their sevice is going down hill and their sushi quality is headed in the same direction. It took us nearly 1/2 hour to order and our waitress came back to check up on us once (excluing our bill). This is unstandable if she was busy but that didn't seem to be the case and we kept on looking over in her to direction for a refill on our water but ended up giving up and just finishing up our meals so that we could get our of there. Our sushi was ju... read more

Great sushi but... – ...I've had it with the service at Shiro's. The sushi chefs are attentive and friendly, but the wait staff service is abysmal. I've been there about 50 times over the last few years and the service has been hit or miss, but the last 3 times were just flat out ridiculous. They'd be better off telling you where everything is and letting you get it yourself...at least that way you can enjoy some primo sushi without wondering where your glass of water or green tea is. Hire some professionals to serve your cu... read more

Sit at the counter or don't bother – The first time I went, I sat at the counter and the sushi was amazing. The second time I went, I had to sit at a table and the sushi was the worst that I've ever had. FYI

Your mouth will thank you – Although Shiro's sushi is excellent, the outstanding thing here is the service--my waitress was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The sushi is quite fresh and of excellent quality. And Shiro himself is also pleasant and outgoing, which sushi chefs frequently aren't, in my experience--he called out to me from the sushi bar to make sure I was enjoying everything. My one complaint was that the pieces of sushi are a little large, which is non-traditional for sushi (although in fairness, I think m... read more

They know what they're doing here... – Shiro's sets the standard. You can go to Nishino for more innovative fare but Shiro's is straight up freshness. The service is fine, the sushi bar is fun, and the ambience isn't pretentious. Unlike it's Belltown competitors, Shiro's is a real restaurant.

Great sushi – Shiro's is a regular for me and I dine there whenever it's a small group and quality of fish is important. The only drawbacks are the small dining room which gets crowded - reservations recommended (and a X:XX reservation is EXACTLY X:XX). I rank Shiro's on par with Nishino and I Love Sushi which are my other two regular sushi joints.
