A truly special dining experience at Shima. A traditional restaurant with more than 35 years of history, where you can enjoy some of the finest meat cuts paired with authentic Japanese appetizers that set the tone from the very beginning. From the moment you arrive, the experience feels thoughtful and personal. The arrival and access to the restaurant already hint at something special—discreet, calm, and very much in line with its long-standing tradition. The service is outstanding: attentive, warm, and deeply respectful, without ever feeling formal or distant. Every detail is handled with care, making you feel genuinely welcomed. And the farewell… just as memorable as the meal itself. A sincere, gracious goodbye that leaves you with the feeling of having been truly looked after, not just served. A place with soul, tradition, and excellence. Highly recommended.

Visited August 2025. Booked a reservation months in advance for this beauty. By far my most favorite meal in Tokyo, Japan!! The Japanese Wagyu Beef was the best, most highest quality beef I've ever tasted in my entire life thus far. Ordered the Sirloin Steak, & the beef was so tender & buttery, it melted in your mouth. It appeared to be cooked Medium, & the beef is so good, you don't need any sauce or condiments to eat it with. The Wagyu Beef Sandwiches as takeout are worth the extra money, as it's a nice breakfast for the next morning! Best tasting most unique sandwich ever. Wonderfully prepared by the great Chef Oshima Manabu, & hats off to his entire staff, & his wife who served us. They treated us with so much interest & respect, even gifted us with a complimentary cheesecake for dessert, took our pictures, & walked us out the elevator outside! This is the best level of Japanese Hospitality & Service. This meal will probably be your most expensive in Tokyo; as for 2 people at the time of this writing, it costed around ¥58,000, about close to $400 USD. It's worth splurging on this meal, as it's more than just a meal but an experience of a lifetime.

Went there for dinner and would definitely recommend making a reservation if you can, it’s a small place and fills up quickly. The menu is quite compact, which actually makes it easier to choose. One thing to note for the appetizers: make sure to specify the quantity. I ordered “one” thinking it meant one portion, but my plate came out with literally one asparagus. The wagyu beef is obviously the star of the show. We went for the filet and it was honestly one of the best pieces of meat I’ve ever had. So tender, perfectly cooked, and beautifully seasoned! Also, the staff are incredibly sweet. After we paid, we were treated to a homemade cheesecake, and the lady even walked us to the exit. Such a warm and thoughtful touch.

Ordered the steak sandwiches for takeout. They were phenomenal and the sauce was delicious. Exceeded any expectations I had. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area. The staff were friendly for our experience.

Had the takeaway steak sandwich. It was genuinely the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. Worth every yen at 8,500. Words cannot do this sandwich justice, you must try it. Bookings/preorders weren't necessary on the night we went, not sure if we just got lucky.
