Dined at Shima yesterday to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I requested for a good seat. Indeed they gave me the best seat (direct view of the teppanyaki chef in action)! Great thanks to the staffs who made that happen! We had the teppanyaki buffet lunch and was served with a birthday ice cream at the end of the meal. I must say the food quality and taste was really worth the every dime ($50~/pax) we paid for. Ingredients used were really fresh (except for the salmon sashimi starter) and generous. We were rather surprised that they even served the flavour of ice cream that each of us really loved. How did you guys at Shima know that? Regardless pure luck or by past experience, we were really satisfied with the food and service. Kudos to the chef as well, really attentive; seems to know what we were hoping to see and taste throughout the whole dining session. The only downside is that there isn't any complimentary parking as it is a standalone restaurant from that of Goodwood Park Hotel, as such for those driving to dine, do park at far east plaza shopping center right next to the hotel. It is $1.07 for first hour and $1.07 for each every subsequent 30min. Much cheaper than the hotel itself with $5.25 for first hour and $2++ for every subsequent 30 min. People have high expectations for Japanese restaurants' cuisines and services not just because of the price paid for these meals, but it is the faith and trust in the chef and staffs to make things happen. Despite the mixed reviews below, stay positive and work hard to make things better. Will definitely return again for more teppanyaki! Cheers to team at Shima Restaurant!
