Shima

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!

Surprisingly good. I'm not usually a fan of these performance grill in front of you type of restaurants. I also tend to think restaurants that aren't specialize in one type of cooking aren't really good at anything. Jack of all trade, master on none kind of deal. Well. This place will cook your meal with the chef performing and it serves both sushi and grill type food. Nevertheless, the food was quite good. The Shima steak was made really well. I asked for medium and the chef made it perfectly medium as he did his show for us as he cooked. That seems impressive to me. I got salmon and yellowtail rolls and both were good. Not necessarily, holy smokes, these are delicious sushi type of great. But they were solid rolls. Price for non sushi and sushi are pretty steep though. The rolls I got were $11 each. And it wasn't like they were massive rolls. Overall, good restaurant. Maybe but quite the place where you think you totally got your bang for your buck, but it is a good restaurant.

Our teppan chef was great. Our experience started out well, until the show/cooking was over. We came for a birthday celebration. Which I made sure the waiter was aware of. The birthday was never acknowledged. There was a large party seated at the other grill opposite us. Once they arrived it was as if we no longer existed. We never had the waiter come by once to check on us. Poor experience that unfortunately leads us to the conclusion we will likely not return.

This place is great. Like anyone, it's my perspective but to be honest. Shima is an outstanding restaurant with great entertaining cooks. Somedays are better other days not depending on how crowded it is which impact the wait time. Overall I love eating here and hanging out with my wife and kids. Highly recommended.

Shima was great. Our cook was hilarious and very entertaining to everyone. The food was delicious. The service was good, very accommodating. We came on a weekend after my sons game and celebrated my wifes birthday with family and it was perfect. No long wait for last minute large family. Thanks Shima, we love it here.
