Shima Sushi

Their lunch deals are amazing. I was impressed by the price and quality of the salmon teriyaki bento box. It came with the perfect portion of salmon, vegetables, shumai, California roll, miso soup, spring roll, and brown rice for no extra charge. What really impressed me was nothing was too sweet or salty and I actually felt everything was healthy and good quality for once. This is going to be my go to spot when I’m at the office. I’ve also gotten their sushi before and it’s solid as well.

These soup dumplings were so good, that they made me stop by every spot that sells soup dumplings just to compare. Nothing even came close. BEST soup dumplings you will ever try

Currently probably the only sushi place within a few blocks that has an “A” health grade. And we’re very happy with the quality of the sushi! Will definitely be going back a lot. Friendly staff. Fast service. Good lunch special and late happy hour!

the food was excellent. please change the music. It was a spotify playlist of people singing celebrity's songs and they were singing it badly. It was hard to ignore. everything tasted great though!

This spot was right not to my hotel so me and my friend decided to check it out. Really amazing prices for the city! Definitely some of the best miso and sushi I’ve ever had. And it was a very relaxing atmosphere with fun music. Service was friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

Shima Sushi is a very solid no frills sushi restaurant that doesn’t disappoint. The dim sum is delicious and shouldn’t be missed here. Great for dining in or taking out.

Have been here a couple of times while in the area. Can only speak highly of this place. The sushi is excellent as is the ambiance and service.

me and my mom loved this place so so much, my mom gets very picky when eating out and very rarely likes resturaunts, but she loved this one! the sushi was amazing and so was the service. She said it was the best sushi shes had in all america, i wanna give this place 6 stars it was so good!

Enjoyed a casual dinner here! We walked in on a Sunday and there were only a few other people around. The service was quick and friendly. We shared shumai, seaweed salad, mermaid roll, and a sashimi platter. It was well-priced for the area. Everything was good but not mind-blowing.

Food: 5/5 this place was soooo delicious and the price wasn't too bad! I ordered from the lunch menu and got 2 rolls, tofu, miso soup, rice and salad all for under $30. I think that's a pretty decent price! I loved their chicken tempura roll sooo much. Service: 5/5 the gentleman that was in there serving us was the nicest and very patient and kind! Ambiance: 5/5 we ordered around 3 and no one was in there when we picked up. I loved the low lighting and how the tables weren't shoulder to shoulder with each other. Definitely will be going here again!

Ordered for delivery. Came pretty quickly and the sushi was super fresh. Loved the salmon avocado roll!

Disgusting. Take-out, with foot-long string of hair. Place smells funky too. Stay away

Food was DELICIOUS! I'm a big fan of Dumplings with soup and omg the chef did a great job with the tasting Sushi lobster was fried and amazing for me! Simo soup I love that this spot was near our hotel! Definitely a good spot to check out

Was not impressed. The staff were not helpful, and seemingly did the bare minimum. I needed to ask for water multiple times-- when the pitcher was right there; they could have left us the pitcher. The sushi was good, and the broiled cod was great at first (rich flavor, soft and chewy, excellent + no pain for braces), but I think I ended up having too much, and didn't feel totally good halfway through. And I did not realize there were small bones in it. In the end, I was not impressed. However, seeing other reviews, I think my experience was a fluke.

Very delicious sushi and sashimi in a nice ambiance, friendly and very fast service!!!

We stopped for a dinner in that place and it was not crowded even after 6:00 pm on workday. I looked the lady who was a hostess and a waitress. Miso soup an sushi were really great. But in the middle of our dining 2 guys just decided to throw away 2 big black trash bags which smelled disgusting . I don't know why they have to carry those bags though the restaurant. Probably a bed luck for me and you would enjoy good sushi without a smell of rotten cabbage.

Will keep this review short! Had dinner here with family around the NYE holiday week and I was pleasantly surprised at how well priced and fresh the sushi was! In a sea of sushi spots in Manhattan it's hard to know what's what- and prices can def make or break your wallet. I would say this is on the more approachable end with low key vibes that would welcome you when you're in the mood for sushi without all of the frills and extra $ that come with other big name sushi spots in the city. We had one of the special rolls, and the sashimi- both well made. Would recommend to others- more of a casual weeknight type thing. Service was also great- no complaints! (just a funny FYI: I added this in the photos- couldnt help but notice- Their TV was tuned to the Fox News channel) But let that not deter you! lol)

Had a great dinner here with my friends last night! Super friendly staff who comes running when they see your hand up - helped each of us split the bill as well at the end. The duck spring rolls were flavorful but slightly on the dry side in my opinion - would recommend to try though because my friends enjoyed it! The food was good and wasn't too expensive either. The sushi for 2 had a basic assortment of sushi - nothing too special but was satisfying. The rest of the rolls were all great as well - my favourite was probably the Crazy Yellowtail Roll, but all of the salmon we had just melted in my mouth. Great time and would recommend!

This has become our go to sushi spot in this neighborhood. Have gotten food to go and also eaten in a few times and the service and food are always very good. The last time we went in it was totally empty. The service, as always, was attentive. Not too pushy to order or anything. We started with the butterfly shrimp which came out hot and crispy. Basically like a small portion of walnut shrimp without the walnuts, really delish. I also had the golden dragon roll which is one of my favorite rolls they do. Paired with some Sapporo's and you can't really go wrong!

I always get the sushi dinner it's awesome, they recently replace one of the sushi for tuna belly and it's amazing. Fast delivery, fresh fish, a great spot!

Went for my partners birthday and we had a blast! So many options on the menu! We settled with some Popcorn Shrimp, Beef Negimaki to start-So savory and great as combinations! We loved the spicy roll and yellowtail as well. Had to grab dessert after definitely try the Tempura Ice-cream! Super close to Tomi Jazz and in our opinion a great alternative if you're not trying to wait in that hour long queue!

Shima is an absolutely rock solid sushi restaurant. I've received delivery several times and have done take out. Have not eaten in yet. The sushi for 2 is a perfect sushi dinner at this price point ($55). It is a generous helping of delicious fish with few distractions. And it arrives beautifully, even delivery. They are friendly and polite on the phone and in person. Please, give them your money. They obviously work hard and take pride in what they do.

Service was great. Sushi and sashimi for two was perfect. Location was easy to find. Good prices.

After walking by this place many times, I finally decided to give it a try for lunch today. There are several lunch specials, including bento boxes, donburi, and plenty of sushi. I opted for the three rolls ($13) with an accompanying side salad. The salad arrived first, a medium-size bowl piled high with various fresh lettuces. There was also one cherry tomato, and a generous amount of dressing. Pretty good starter: I felt my appetite growing. When the three rolls hit my table, I smiled from the depths of my soul. Time to dig in! I loved the eel avocado roll and the salmon avocado roll, both offering a combination of sweet and savory flavors. They hooked it up with the avo, which I appreciate. The yellowtail jalapeño roll was interesting; I think the crunch of the jalapeño threw me off. Still, my impression overall was quite positive. Importantly, everything was fresh, from the fish to the lettuce to the avocado and jalapeño. That demonstrates care, consideration, and attention to detail. I will certainly return.

I just tried out Shima for lunch since I am always on the hunt for sushi spots near my office that offer lunch specials. Shima has a good amount of seating and unlike many NYC sushi places, the tables aren't situated where you are sitting right on top of each other. They also offer take-out. Shima has several different lunch combo options. I didn't opt to do a special today but I will definitely try a maki roll combo in the future. I started with a Kani salad which was delicious. For my main, I ordered two special rolls, the White Mermaid and Crazy Tuna and also a spicy scallop roll. Everything was delicious and it was plenty of food. My friend ordered the Crazy Salmon roll and a Sushi/Sashimi combo. We left very satisified. Will definitely stop in again soon!

Went here w/ a large group of friends on a recent visit to NY. They often frequent here as this is a regular spot for them. Solid sushi in Midtown Manhattan. Fresh & enjoyable sushi. My friends ordered several regular sushi rolls yet after explaining my dietary preference the server brought out several veggie vegan rolls for me to try. This is sometimes the best way to let the chefs get creative & work their magic. They were amazing. Recommended for all sushi lovers in Midtown!

Good chance find in the neighborhood... It's a newly opened restaurant; spacious and well done interiors.. I went there to get take away meal but next time would like to go for a proper sit down lunch. I ordered a set meal that included hot and sour soup, options for mains ( I ordered mixed vegetables in brown sauce and chicken) which comes with a side of rice and beverage included. I think it's a great deal for $13-14 in the city. They were generous with their portion size and the dishes tasted good and freshly made. I would definitely visit this place again for a proper lunch and update the review. Only thing is that their name is a bit deceptive, seems like a Japanese place but they do have loads chinese dishes in their menu.

Delicious sushi. Went to this restaurant at the last minute and was pleasantly surprised. Loved everything I got. Sushi was tasty and fresh.

Delicious food and our server was amazing! Ordered the hot sake and the Sushi dinner platter. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Shima sushi is awesome. Impeccably clean and very modern decor. The special rolls are my favorite. I especially love the crazy salmon roll which is basically salmon on salmon with a bit of crunch on top. The appetizers here are also very good. The duck spring roll is my favorite. Definitely would recommend coming here.

Very disappointing. small portion size. Dragon roll barely had any fish in it. all cucumber and rice. Just a rip-off for $15

Great lunch special and amazing speciality rolls. Have been here for dine-in and ordered delivery as well. Always fresh, well-made sushi and other items. Quick service and delivery!

Can't say enough about the quality and portions of the food here! We had happy hour hot sake! 2 for 1! ! Ordered the veggie spring rolls with a great sauce! Hot crispy and delicious! Coconut curry soup! OMG! The best ever! Large portion! Tangy filled with delicious chunks of Tofu and perfectly seasoned! We then had a shrimp dish that was out of this world! Lightly breaded and again it came with another great sauce! But wait there's more! We decided on the sashimi dinner which was the best my fiancé has ever had! She is a BIG FAN SO NO LITTLE COMPLIMENT! Six or seven different types from yellow fin to salmon to ahi tuna! All were beyond great! The fish was as fresh as could be possible! Large generous portions at a very reasonable price even for rip off NYC! We finished our meal with some "free" ice cream! I don't have words to express how amazing our experience was! It is an absolute must!

Really enjoyed the sushi from here and my husband really enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. I got the shrimp tempura roll, which was a pretty big roll. The shrimp was also still crispy even though I got it delivered. I also got the serendipity roll which was a spicy tuna roll with crunch that was wrapped with yellow tail, jalapeño and tobiko. The fish tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed this roll.

I refuse to eat sushi, however, the restaurant itself and the waitstaff are just fine. The restaurant is incredibly pretty albeit a bit on the small side. There is a second floor of sorts where the sushi bar is. Tables are set with both chopsticks and a fork (so thankful for this since I can't use chopsticks to save my life). The best part of this place is that the lunch special is around $12 and includes an app, an entree, and a drink. I had the chicken teriyaki with edamame as my app along with a Diet Coke. The edamame was good but way too much for one person, the chicken was okay but on the small side. Overall still a decent deal especially for this part of Manhattan. Waitstaff is friendly and do not rush you out. We spent over an hour here just talking after we finished our food and no one said anything (it was also a miserable day outside so I don't think anyone was really walking around during lunchtime).

Nowhere online is there a "no indoor dining" but we went and when we went inside the lady informed us "there is no dining indoors". We were there during the lunch hour and the front door didn't have anything of the sort posted. Additionally, all the tables were set for people to eat at. I believe this may have been a lie just to refuse service for no reason: Don't recommend unless you want to waste your time or just do takeout.

Simply excellent ! Remarkable taste of the fresh sushi. Happy hour Sapporo and complementary free ice cream are the cherry over the friendly service !

Came here for lunch and you can tell it's a busy spot for midtowners as the small restaurant quickly filled up. I ordered the 3 roll lunch special and soup for $13 and I pretty much left still hungry. With that said, each piece was very small. Didn't quite love the texture of the spicy tuna. My friend ordered the roll lunch special and didn't quite find her spicy salmon to her liking. We mentioned it to the waitress and although they took it back, gave us kind of a hard time with it. I'm pretty sure she left hungry too. Won't be going back as the sushi servings are so small. Maybe the other dishes have a larger serving? In either case, plenty of places to go elsewhere. This also used to be Wild Ginger so don't be fooled as a new restaurant.

Shima Sushi is a unique small sushi restaurant find. The servers are there for you whenever you need and help you with any problems you might have. The prices of Shima Sushi seem fair for the most part. The Tiger roll was exceptionally good. I also had the sweat heart roll and the salmon avocado roll. The sweetheart roll was fine but I personally thought it was a bit bland for sushi standards. The salmon avocado roll tasted slightly fishy for me but decent for the price. I also helped myself to the mochi dessert which was a nice end to the meal. My favorite flavor was the red bean mochi. Overall, Shima Sushi is definitely worth a try and depending on the person, a second and third!

Neighborhood go-to spot ! Nice service, tasty food, and relaxing ambiance. Shrimp Tempura Roll Tuna Roll

I love the portions and the prices at this sushi place. For starters, I had the beef negimaki which was good. It's made to order, served hot and had the right amount of flavour. Although I would have preferred the sauce to be less starchy. For mains, I ordered the Sushi Sashimi Combo for 1. It was very filling and I had a hard time trying to finish everything. Sashimi was fresh which is always a must. Will come back here again.

SO RUDE and not the best option if you need to eat lunch during work. I ordered at 12:28PM and their estimated delivery time was 12:55-1:05PM. I called at 1:15PM asking about my order and the owner yelled at me and said 10 more minutes without even getting my order # down. After I told him my order number, he said 30 more minutes because he didn't even make it yet. Why? "Because it's hot today so everyone is ordering". WELL - I shouldn't be waiting close to two hours at this point for my damn food. He proceeded to talk smack in the background in mandarin not knowing that I UNDERSTAND CHINESE. I literally switched from english to chinese and spazzed at him because what he was doing was unacceptable.

This is without a doubt my favorite sushi place in Midtown East! The food is fantastic! I usually don't like rolls but absolutely love them at Shima. Unlike some other restaurants, which use rice as filler, the rolls at this restaurant are filled with animal protein and veggies. The food is presented nicely and the prices are good, especially if you you're sharing food with friends/family. They always include free dessert (green tea or red bean ice cream), which is a nice perk. Their cold saki is fantastic too, and reasonably priced at around $14-$16 per bottle. Finally, Shima offers lunch specials that include soup/salad and are affordably priced. I loooooooove this restaurant and am happy that I discovered it about a year ago (when it had a different name).

Moved to the area and was looking for a new takeout sushi spot. Ordered the salmon avocado and snow crab rolls. The fish tasted fresh and delivery on seamless was spot on. I plan to order again soon.

We ended up here after work on a Friday night. The restaurant is new and service is crazy quick. The miso was great, they had happy hour until 10.30pm (bogof on sake And beer). We got a sushi combo and it was good. We also got the sex on the beach roll which was equally delicious. The spring rolls were piping hot and crispy. We'll be back...

I had lunch here and let me tell you this, im happy that i found this place. I love their butterfly shrimp, their broiled black cod also very nice, not too sweet and they give me a good size of fish. Their sashimi is also fresh. Their price also moderate and affordable with the good quality. The service is good, my waitress was very attentive too. Will definitely be back here and bring my friend for a sushi.

This is probably the best Sushi I have ever had before! I tried yellow tails Cod fish Oysters Seafood hot wok They are all excellent! ! I def come here more often and they are not pricey.

The sushi sashimi combination was as fresh and delicious as it looks. The down side was the stingy amount of wasabi and the weak dressing for the salad. Next time I'll request more wasabi. However, I'm excited to find this place near me and will be back to try more sushi and sashimi and to dine in.

I am still a bit worried to try sushi however I have been trying their udon and soba with shrimp only and so far no disappointments. I don't like garlic and veggies in it so they pay attention to my request and there was only one time miscommunication and they just made a new order for me and since then the waitresses are so nice and attentive. Will keep going and checking their improvements :) Thank you guys.

Respectable neighborhood sushi joint in midtown east. Former Wild Ginger restaurant, it appears to have either gone through a new owner or management, but either way it's renovated inside, and looks nothing like a Japanese restaurant, but standard modern joint run by Chinese of course. Prices are moderate, portions are decent. At the time of writing had a buy one get one happy hour special for beer and hot sake which I gladly ordered (5p to 11pm). I wouldn't mind returning but too many other places in the area for me to find a reason other than it being close to my apartment

Great service. We enjoyed the oyster appetizer. Great sake and happy hour drinks Great prices and value

This is a great place! The atmosphere is modern and comfortable. A hidden gem in midtown! Came here for dinner, got the Coconut Curry Soup for start, taste delicious! And sushi plates are so fresh and tasty too! Service was great, staff ware welcoming and helpful. Will come again for lunch, they do a lunch special with 2 courses and a drink with only $12.25.

Great food and excellent service, food is very flavorful and portions iI would come again.

Got the beef teriyaki lunch special. The food tasted pretty decent, but meat portions are too small to be worth $12.

Genuinely gorgeous sushi. Not much else to say. Some of the best I've had to he honestly.

A great surprise as some of the reviews had me worried about the sushi. Definitely get the sushi here, super fresh, and very delicious. I had the Orange Devil and Mermaid Roll, would order both again in a heart beat. Will be visiting this spot frequently

For the price, service and quality of food, you'll have a tough time finding a better sushi restaurant in New York City.
