Shiro RestaurantFrom the moment you walk intoFrom the moment you walk into this restaurant one feels welcomed and confident you'll have a great dining experience. Shiro does not disappoint. The ambiance is calm, initmate, not glitzy, and the food is spot on. The lamb, the filet steak, the fish dishes and appetizers that we shared at our table were all wonderful. It can be pricey, but worth that little extra for an evening with someone special or old friends, or just a night out in the neighborhood.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMA gem worth findning!!Shiro is a great gem of a restaurant in South Pasadena.

Would definitely return for future occasions!!!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I celebratedMy husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Shiro and it was our first visit to the restaurant. The manager brought over 2 glasses of champagne for us and also treated us to a delectable apple tarte tatin for dessert. We will definitely return again soon. The food was delicate, perfectly prepared and mouth watering. I had an appetizer of Chinese Ravioli with shrimp mousse and my husband enjoyed a salad with blue cheese dressing. We both had specials for the evening. Mine was tempura orange roughy and his was scallops wrapped in bacon served with risotto. Shiro is definitely a local gem and was a wonderful way to celebrate our wedding anniversary.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMImaginative, wonderful foodImaginative, wonderful food in a congenial, comfortable setting.

My husband always gets the catfish, but I try different dishes each time. I had the crab over cucumber salad this time which was delicious. Although everything they serve is wonderful, they do fish extremely well.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AMNice Place for a Good, Quiet DinnetVery well-prepared food. Good staff. Quiet. A very nice place for a quiet dinner.3/3/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Catfish in the worldThere is a very good reason SHIRO has been around for 25 + years outstanding food and marvelous service. The signature dish- the whole catfish is just one reason patrons drive 50-60 miles from around LA toe at here. EVERYTHING on the menu, a daily one, is incredible !!3/1/2013 12:00:00 AM225 [5-/5] SalmonTacos*,AsparagusSa225 [5-/5] SalmonTacos*,AsparagusSalad*,RomaineSalad,Oyster*,Ravioli*,JohnDoryShrimp*,Duck*,Tiramisu*,Chocolate*(,2GlMerlot,Pellegrino,Sauternes)2/7/2013 12:00:00 AM
