It's a little gem tucked away in South Pasadena. My palate was delighted throughout the whole experience. The staff and service were absolutely fantastic. I'll be back for more.

Uninspired food in an uninspiring atmosphere. They are quite a few better options at this price point.

I stumbled across Shiro by chance when the other restaurant we were planning to go to only had outdoor seating - and this wimp right here hates the cold. Truth is, I had never heard of Shiro and I thought to myself “Hmm, what is this place? I’m a professional eater and I’ve never heard of it so it can’t be that good.” Needless to say, I was a bit skeptical and very much wrong — I am SO happy to have ended up here. I must’ve been living under a rock as it is apparently a very well-loved, top-rated restaurant for more than 35 years now. Who knew? Anyway, I arrived dressed like a bag lady as I wasn’t planning on having dinner out after my nail appointment but they still welcomed me with open arms. The place was so charming, cute and cozy - an amazing vibe that feels like an upscale meal out while also casual enough that it’s not stuffy. And one of the co-owners, Sheryl, came by our table and was the kindest, sweetest soul ever - so incredibly welcoming and hospitable and even sent, not one, but TWO desserts our way even though we were stuffed from the literal best A5 Wagyu Filet, Scottish Salmon, and Prosciutto Salad I’ve had thus far.
I’m sooooo excited I uncovered this spot and pretty much plan on being a regular — and will drag all my friends to Shiro. New biggest fan. :)

I'm seeing uni (sea urchin) pasta at other restaurants. It's more of butter pasta topped with uni. I went to Shiro to eat real uni pasta. I ordered my favorite truffle ravioli and split the uni pasta with a friend. I was stuffed and satisfied.

A bit disappointed. But overall is ok. The food is ok. The servers are very nice. There is a party going on so kind of noisy.

2nd time here. Food and service was good. Restaurant provided a nice apple tart and ice cream with a candle for my birthday dessert. Really enjoyed it.

From the great music (Jobim and Ella Fitzgerald—can't go wrong) to the wonton ravioli appetizer, salmon entree and perfect chicken, topped with apple tart and ice cream, it's hard not to love Shiro every time!
I been a very very long time customer at this Shiro Restaurant...... over 30 years and the food have been consistently good

It's like our hometown, it's a place we love very much. I really like the restaurant, which has a warm atmosphere when you enter, the welcome of the owner, and the very polite and neat feeling of the server. Today's dish was also a great dish without complaint. They were carefully seasoned one by one, and the presentation was very gorgeous, filling both the appearance and the stomach. Today was our anniversary, but it was a memorable moment. Thank you always.
