The cuisine at SHIA is highly regarded for its well-balanced flavors, texture, and depth. Dishes like lobster, Samgye Juk, and lamb demonstrate a mastery of flavors, although some reviews mention that certain dishes, like the lamb loins, can be chewy and less satisfying. The menu includes innovative creations such as the final dish made with gochujang and raspberry, which left a strong impression on diners.
