Shima Japanese Restaurant

If your in the mood for a teppanyaki restaurant style dinner, you'll find Shima fits the bill. They have the spinning utensils, dad jokes, flying egg, plumes of fire, but most importantly, the food is good. Whether you're eating at the restaurant, or picking up an order, the food is consistent. As with most teppanyaki restaurants, it can get pricey once you start ordering sushi or alcoholic beverages, but you'll have a good time nonetheless.

If you're in the Chino area and are debating between Wabi Sabi and Shima... I recommend SHIMA 100%! For 4 reasons: 1. SHIMA uses more garlic butter! If you're a garlic lover. . . SHIMA is the way to go! The way they season their scallops is ! 2. Their fried rice, in my opinion, is better and more flavorful! 3. They actually give you drink refills! At Wabi I feel I'm always looking around for a server to order another drink. At Shima They were on top of their drink orders. And last but DEFINITELY not least. . . 4. ALBERTO! He was our Teppan Chef and he was amazing! Super entertaining and an amazing cook! He cooked my steak to a PERFECT medium rare pictured below and was very attentive! Did I mention he also has some hilarious jokes in spanish! He had our whole table laughing! *LITTLE TIP* buy your Teppan Chef a Sapporo/beer trust me your kindness to your Chef will go a LONG way! Over all my first time dining at Shima was amazing! My first drink was a Yokozuna Martini which was good but too sweet for my liking! And I ordered their Shima steak with Calamari and added scallops! It was incredible!

Place was great, me and my wife loved it. Fillet mignon was cook perfectly at medium rare, good beer. Can’t go wrong with this place.

Food is good had great service our cook Henry was great and entertaining

Kinda like Benihana's type of place.... food was good, moderately priced. Chef/cook was entertaining!Dine in: Yes

Have an experience with every sense other than taste. You're paying for spectacle, not food. Come for novelty, not ethnic authenticity.Food: 2/5

4 stars.typical teppanyaki/ benihana style restaurant.food is tasty and portions are fine.prices are about normal for this type of food. Place looks ok but nothing special though. It is usually not too busy so you don't have to wait in line.

You can't go wrong. The food and chefs are great...the waitress and waiters are a hit/miss. Place needs a good scrubbing but great neighborhood spot

Service was great. Food was good, but they need to add a spicy chilli paste to the menu.

My family had a very late dinner, and find out here open until 10:30. The sushi bar sansa was nice, help us to order sushi and the orders were pretty soon, the sashimi were really fresh! We will return for iron menu next time.
