The food was excellent. It's a beautiful restaurant with great views of Manhattan. The only thing is we felt a little rushed. I was served my meal as I was finishing eating my appetizer. It would've been nice if there was a gap between being served my appetizer and entree

This was a last minute reservation after my first reservation change the time due to an event they were having at their restaurant. Glad it worked out and the food was good.

Shi is a fantastic Japanese Pan-Asian restaurant with breathtaking views of Manhattan. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a stylish ambiance that perfectly complements the stunning skyline. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh and well-prepared. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, with vibrant flavors that showcased the quality of the ingredients. Cooper provided excellent service, offering great suggestions and crafting smooth, well-balanced drinks that elevated the dining experience. Queens is home to incredible cultural diversity and fantastic neighborhoods, and Shi is a perfect example of that. Whether you're looking for a romantic night out or a place to unwind with friends, this spot delivers on all fronts—great food, top-notch service, and a view that makes the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!

You can definitely find a better place than this one.
I don’t recommend appetizers like shrimp dumplings there is barely shrimp it’s all mashed and mixed inside with dumpling dough.
Fried cauliflower it’s not fried it is a cauliflower with breadcrumbs doesn’t taste good.
The sushi rolls crunchy spicy salmon, a little bit of salmon is mashed with something it’s not like an original sushi very small portion of 6 pieces.
Chicken dumplings were quite good (4 pieces) but not the best.
The only good dish was sesame chicken with rice. Although broccoli wasn’t cooked enough, cold and hard.

I’ve come here every few years & the experience is always great. I just had a date, we did a 3 course meal and it was less than $80. To me this was insane because I thought the bill should have been $150. I tried something new this time & I woke up next morning craving more. This must have put crack in those noodles, it was so good!

This is one of my all time favorite restaurants so I had my wedding here a week ago. We wanted a smaller venue and really just dinner and friends. It was perfect, the service was absolutely exceptional. Would highly recommend both as a restaurant and as a venue.

Went out with my wife to celebrate her birthday and the experience we had was extremely pleasant. The servers were welcoming and the food was delicious along with the drinks. I highly recommend SHI if you're looking for a nice intimate date night atmosphere.

I’ve been going to SHI for over 10 years and it’s still one of the best restaurants/lounges I’ve been to. The food is delicious- I highly recommend the beef and asparagus- it’s my favorite dish. The atmosphere is beautiful and so is the view.
Not sure why the back area has been closed the past few times I’ve been there recently, but I do hope it opens back up.
We thought there was a view of the city when we booked to eat here based on the photos. There is no view but food is DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. We decided to walk outside after to take in the view which was spectacular as well.

The food was a real disappointment; it didn't taste good. The only good things about this place are its location and the view of Manhattan.

The food was good and prepared well, but not a destination place for me as I don’t live in the area. If I did live in the area then this could be a steady place to go. The inside atmosphere was amazing, but we really came for the view of Manhattan as I requested to sit by the big windows facing Manhattan for a sunset dinner. All we saw were stacks of tables and other debris outside the windows as if it was a storage area, which took away from the ambiance. There were lots of trees and leaves that blocked any view of Manhattan. The waiter suggested we come back during the fall/winter months when the trees are bare. I wish the website mentioned that.

The food was excellent, and we had a wonderful time. We were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, and we will definitely return.
