Shiro Japanese Bistro: Exquisite Sushi and a Romantic Dining Experience in San Antonio

We went here for a date night and it was the perfect spot! We had one of the best meals we’ve had in a while! We ordered the crispy toro which was 100/10, would come back just for this dish . We also got the wagyu teriyaki and Chilean sea bass which were also delicious! Looking forward to coming back!

I am convinced that this is the best tasting food you can get in this area. The wagyu teriyaki is such a great deal, omg! So tender, and cooked with this delicious gravy with mushrooms. Each bite makes me throw my head back, I swear. I devoured every bite of the salad and tangy dressing in-between bites of beef. They serve the perfect sake to enjoy these meals, so please indulge. Please come here and order this. God its so good!

I've heard promising reviews for this California based sushi joint, so I had to give them a go. Located downtown, they do have a parking garage for free 4 hour guest parking. The restaurant had a chill vibe and was not overly loud. Once we ordered our food, it took a lengthy 30 min or so to receive our appetizer. This was quite a let down as there were not many patrons inside the restaurant at the time. There also seemed to be a reasonable amount of staff on the payroll. The app that we chose was the hot line crispy gyoza. There were a lot of flavors here to unpack. From the garnished parmesan, the 911 sauce that the gyoza were tossed in along with an additional green sauce. The gyoza were nice and crispy as promised and the 911 sauce complimented them with a bit of tang and sweet. The parmesan was an interesting choice that some may be a bit taken back by, I didn't mind it though. The nigiri were pretty good, though personally, the wasabi was a bit overpowering. The lobster robbery roll and the kimchi roll were both solid, though the lobster robbery were our preferred. Prices here are a bit inflated, but when has good quality sushi ever been cheap? Service was decent and overall vibe passed the vibe check. Nothing extraordinary, but a reccomend in the end. 4.3/5

Sigh…Truly the best sushi in SA! So good I want to gate keep but food this good has to be shared. Perfect for a date night or a nice evening out! Matthew and Victor always deliver amazing service and vibes are great. 5/5!

My fiancé and I came here to celebrate our engagement anniversary and this place was amazing! Everything about it was just spectacular. Our waiter was so kind and friendly. Food was delightful. We ordered the hot line crispy gyoza and the shio edamame as appetizers to share. As an entree we got the teriyaki wagyu and shared that as well. It was plenty of food for the two of us we got to try a little bit of everything!

Love this place! The sushi is genuinely creative and authentic. Little pricey, but the service, quality of food and eccentric "Japanese" modern atmosphere make it for a great date day/night. Worth it!

Another level of sushi. Easily the best, freshest, and most unusual in San Antonio. Expensive, but you're getting dishes you can't get elsewhere and/or prepared differently and better than elsewhere.

Today’s service was phenomenal. Jameson welcomed us with kindness right from the start—greeting us on the phone and guiding us through the parking validation process, which set a great tone for the evening. Once we arrived, we dove into a few happy hour items, and let me just say—the Soul Sisters roll were YUM! Definitely the highlight of the evening. We also tried the crispy tuna roll from the happy hour menu, and it did not disappoint. We couldn’t resist ordering a couple more items from the regular menu—the Truffle Hibachi and the Playmate Roll. Pro tip: that hibachi sauce is to die for. Keep it on the side and dip each roll, trust me. Thank you again for making my sisters birthday feel so special, especially after an unexpected moment in her life. This dinner was exactly what we needed, delicious, comforting, and memorable. We’ll definitely be back on Tuesday for your amazing specials… and maybe even Sunday! Huge thanks to Jameson again. You made our night.
