Reviews Shima Restaurant

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!

Service was excellent for the sets we got for hubby me and my son. The lady serving us was super attentive with chef who catered specifically for me as a pregnant woman. Highly recommended!

Best experience ever! Had my eyebrows completely burned off but it sure was a mouthwatering experience. Been coming back to the restaurant for the last 10 years. Best chefs in town!!

Best japanese cuisine in singapore. Every year again

Went for lunch. Ordered the buffet. Weekends free for oysters I think. I thought I could finish everything for the first round followed by additional orders of beef, chicken, oysters, salmon. Was impossible. The first round was packed full with goodness. I was stuffed and could not order additionals. Quality of food is excellent. Staff efficient, alert and friendly. Also value for money. Well definitely go back again.

The staff were amazing 🤩 They got us counter seats in front of the chef, suggested the set menu which suited us better than the buffet menu. We have a very small appetite- the difference was the set menu didn't have oyster, scallop or allowed re-orders of certain dishes. Throughout the meal, the staff were super attentive in topping up the free flow water 💦 (charged at $1.50++) and clearing the empty plates. The chef was very friendly to my little one and even ended with a 2nd fire 🔥 show to entertain him. It's his 🥇 and possibly most memorable Teppanyaki ever. The food was delicious 😋 Highly recommend the salmon, swordfish, prawns and the beef with garlic. It was definitely a very full meal and was very appreciative of the staff allowing us to takeaway desert for later. 👍

Took the Dinning City menu to experience this one of the oldest Japanese restaurant in Singapore. Staffs are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. A little surprise that of the color of the man Kimono feel like a mismatch. Regardless, the service was good. The menu is a little basic but it is what the menu offer and is good value. The maki sushi taste good, rice is a little hard but mixed well with vinegar. Chawanmushi has a nice texture but in a lighter taste, served with metal spoon which is unusual. The salmon is tasty. Miso soup also on the lighter taste side and feel like is missing a base, katsuo bushi. Good experience and say try something else in the future.
