For an average Japanese restaurant, their lunch special is a pretty good deal. The rolls have a good filling to rice ratio and they do not skimp on the avocado. I got the salmon avocado roll, eel avocado roll, and salmon tempura roll. I love any place that does salmon tempura but all 3 rolls tasted great. The side salad wasn't anything special but let's be honest, that's not why you're ordering the set. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant seemed clean and the hostess was great at handling all the pickup orders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be ordering for lunch pick up again! read more

Shima Sushi - Any 3 Rolls Lunch Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Dropped by for lunch. It's a pretty standard quick sushi spot in the area that was walking distance from my office. They have this lunch special were you can order any 3 rolls for $18 ($20 after tax), which is very affordable. This also comes with a cup of miso soup. Left feeling satisfied and my wallet thanked me for not spending over $20. read more

I ordered out from here a few times. Sushi is meaty, fresh and delicious. It was made pretty quickly. There were pretty interesting choice of rolls including a peppery tuna with spicy honey. I would recommend and like to eat at their restaurant some time. read more

Enjoyed a casual dinner here! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked in on a Sunday and there were only a few other people around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and friendly. We shared shumai, seaweed salad, mermaid roll, and a sashimi platter. It was well-priced for the area. Everything was good but not mind-blowing. read more

Recently found this neighborhood sushi restaurant and decided to try it out. The sushi and sashimi dinner presentations were generous and attractive and the fish was fresh, but the salad with ginger dressing was unremarkable. Overall, Shima Sushi offers a very wide variety of selections (including dim sum items) and provides a good value for the money. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

Food: 5/5 this place was soooo delicious and the price wasn't too bad! I ordered from the lunch menu and got 2 rolls, tofu, miso soup, rice and salad all for under $30. I think that's a pretty decent price! I loved their chicken tempura roll sooo much. Service: 5/5 the gentleman that was in there serving us was the nicest and very patient and kind! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: 5/5 we ordered around 3 and no one was in there when we picked up. I loved the low lighting and how the tables weren't shoulder to shoulder with each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will be going here again! read more

Shima Sushi - Tofu Teriyaki Lunch Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I'm always on the lookout for good sushi spots with affordable classic rolls with a good filling to rice ratio. Shima Sushi checked off those boxes, so I ordered 3 rolls to go. Pick up was seamless, but the rolls didn't taste too amazing. The rice was a little bit hard/cold and the fish had a sliiight fishy flavor. I think for the price it's not bad though! read more

Best lunch special ever! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty quiet inside on a Tuesday for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The three roll combo had very good fish and were big. The food was quick to come out as well, so nice service. read more

Was not impressed. The staff were not helpful, and seemingly did the bare minimum. I needed to ask for water multiple times-- when the pitcher was right there; they could have left us the pitcher. The sushi was good, and the broiled cod was great at first (rich flavor, soft and chewy, excellent + no pain for braces), but I think I ended up having too much, and didn't feel totally good halfway through. And I did not realize there were small bones in it. In the end, I was not impressed. However, seeing other reviews, I think my experience was a fluke. read more

After ordering from here for the past 5 years, I won't be anymore. They mess up delivery too often and all for average sushi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dilapidated place is always empty, so that should've been a sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had a great dinner here with my friends last night! Super friendly staff who comes running when they see your hand up - helped each of us split the bill as well at the end. The duck spring rolls were flavorful but slightly on the dry side in my opinion - would recommend to try though because my friends enjoyed it! The food was good and wasn't too expensive either. The sushi for 2 had a basic assortment of sushi - nothing too special but was satisfying. The rest of the rolls were all great as well - my favourite was probably the Crazy Yellowtail Roll, but all of the salmon we had just melted in my mouth. Great time and would recommend! read more

This has become our go to sushi spot in this neighborhood. Have gotten food to go and also eaten in a few times and the service and food are always very good. The last time we went in it was totally empty. The service, as always, was attentive. Not too pushy to order or anything. We started with the butterfly shrimp which came out hot and crispy. Basically like a small portion of walnut shrimp without the walnuts, really delish. I also had the golden dragon roll which is one of my favorite rolls they do. Paired with some Sapporo's and you can't really go wrong! read more

Will keep this review short! Had dinner here with family around the NYE holiday week and I was pleasantly surprised at how well priced and fresh the sushi was! In a sea of sushi spots in Manhattan it's hard to know what's what- and prices can def make or break your wallet. I would say this is on the more approachable end with low key vibes that would welcome you when you're in the mood for sushi without all of the frills and extra $ that come with other big name sushi spots in the city. We had one of the special rolls, and the sashimi- both well made. Would recommend to others- more of a casual weeknight type thing. Service was also great- no complaints! (just a funny FYI: I added this in the photos- couldnt help but notice- Their TV was tuned to the Fox News channel) But let that not deter you! lol) read more

We stopped for a dinner in that place and it was not crowded even after 6:00 pm on workday. I looked the lady who was a hostess and a waitress. Miso soup an sushi were really great. But in the middle of our dining 2 guys just decided to throw away 2 big black trash bags which smelled disgusting . I don't know why they have to carry those bags though the restaurant. Probably a bed luck for me and you would enjoy good sushi without a smell of rotten cabbage. read more

Shima Sushi - Sushi Sashimi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

After walking by this place many times, I finally decided to give it a try for lunch today. There are several lunch specials, including bento boxes, donburi, and plenty of sushi. I opted for the three rolls ($13) with an accompanying side salad. The salad arrived first, a medium-size bowl piled high with various fresh lettuces. There was also one cherry tomato, and a generous amount of dressing. Pretty good starter: I felt my appetite growing. When the three rolls hit my table, I smiled from the depths of my soul. Time to dig in! I loved the eel avocado roll and the salmon avocado roll, both offering a combination of sweet and savory flavors. They hooked it up with the avo, which I appreciate. The yellowtail jalapeño roll was interesting; I think the crunch of the jalapeño threw me off. Still, my impression overall was quite positive. Importantly, everything was fresh, from the fish to the lettuce to the avocado and jalapeño. That demonstrates care, consideration, and attention to detail. I will certainly return. read more

I just tried out Shima for lunch since I am always on the hunt for sushi spots near my office that offer lunch specials. Shima has a good amount of seating and unlike many NYC sushi places, the tables aren't situated where you are sitting right on top of each other. They also offer take-out. Shima has several different lunch combo options. I didn't opt to do a special today but I will definitely try a maki roll combo in the future. I started with a Kani salad which was delicious. For my main, I ordered two special rolls, the White Mermaid and Crazy Tuna and also a spicy scallop roll. Everything was delicious and it was plenty of food. My friend ordered the Crazy Salmon roll and a Sushi/Sashimi combo. We left very satisified. Will definitely stop in again soon! read more

This spot epitomizes average--it's not terrible, but it's far from a must-visit. The sushi and rolls look fresh but fall short on flavor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The most telling sign was the place being totally deserted at lunchtime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sake was awful, and they forgot my appetizer, though they didn't charge me for it, which is a small plus. Prices are fair, but if you're familiar with great sushi, it's still not worth your time. read more

Went here w/ a large group of friends on a recent visit to NY. They often frequent here as this is a regular spot for them. Solid sushi in Midtown Manhattan. Fresh & enjoyable sushi. My friends ordered several regular sushi rolls yet after explaining my dietary preference the server brought out several veggie vegan rolls for me to try. This is sometimes the best way to let the chefs get creative & work their magic. They were amazing. Recommended for all sushi lovers in Midtown! read more

Shima is an absolutely rock solid sushi restaurant. I've received delivery several times and have done take out. Have not eaten in yet. The sushi for 2 is a perfect sushi dinner at this price point ($55). It is a generous helping of delicious fish with few distractions. And it arrives beautifully, even delivery. They are friendly and polite on the phone and in person. Please, give them your money. They obviously work hard and take pride in what they do. read more

Shima Sushi - Sushi for 2, delivered. Miso soup is not pictured, but is included. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Good chance find in the neighborhood... It's a newly opened restaurant; spacious and well done interiors.. I went there to get take away meal but next time would like to go for a proper sit down lunch. I ordered a set meal that included hot and sour soup, options for mains ( I ordered mixed vegetables in brown sauce and chicken) which comes with a side of rice and beverage included. I think it's a great deal for $13-14 in the city. They were generous with their portion size and the dishes tasted good and freshly made. I would definitely visit this place again for a proper lunch and update the review. Only thing is that their name is a bit deceptive, seems like a Japanese place but they do have loads chinese dishes in their menu. read more

Went for my partners birthday and we had a blast! So many options on the menu! We settled with some Popcorn Shrimp, Beef Negimaki to start-So savory and great as combinations! We loved the spicy roll and yellowtail as well. Had to grab dessert after definitely try the Tempura Ice-cream! Super close to Tomi Jazz and in our opinion a great alternative if you're not trying to wait in that hour long queue! read more

Shima sushi is awesome. Impeccably clean and very modern decor. The special rolls are my favorite. I especially love the crazy salmon roll which is basically salmon on salmon with a bit of crunch on top. The appetizers here are also very good. The duck spring roll is my favorite. Definitely would recommend coming here. read more

Can't say enough about the quality and portions of the food here! We had happy hour hot sake! 2 for 1! ! Ordered the veggie spring rolls with a great sauce! Hot crispy and delicious! Coconut curry soup! OMG! The best ever! Large portion! Tangy filled with delicious chunks of Tofu and perfectly seasoned! We then had a shrimp dish that was out of this world! Lightly breaded and again it came with another great sauce! But wait there's more! We decided on the sashimi dinner which was the best my fiancé has ever had! She is a BIG FAN SO NO LITTLE COMPLIMENT! Six or seven different types from yellow fin to salmon to ahi tuna! All were beyond great! The fish was as fresh as could be possible! Large generous portions at a very reasonable price even for rip off NYC! We finished our meal with some "free" ice cream! I don't have words to express how amazing our experience was! It is an absolute must! read more

Service was great. Sushi and sashimi for two was perfect. Location was easy to find. Good prices.

Really enjoyed the sushi from here and my husband really enjoyed the chicken teriyaki. I got the shrimp tempura roll, which was a pretty big roll. The shrimp was also still crispy even though I got it delivered. I also got the serendipity roll which was a spicy tuna roll with crunch that was wrapped with yellow tail, jalapeño and tobiko. The fish tasted very fresh and I really enjoyed this roll. read more

I refuse to eat sushi, however, the restaurant itself and the waitstaff are just fine. The restaurant is incredibly pretty albeit a bit on the small side. There is a second floor of sorts where the sushi bar is. Tables are set with both chopsticks and a fork (so thankful for this since I can't use chopsticks to save my life). The best part of this place is that the lunch special is around $12 and includes an app, an entree, and a drink. I had the chicken teriyaki with edamame as my app along with a Diet Coke. The edamame was good but way too much for one person, the chicken was okay but on the small side. Overall still a decent deal especially for this part of Manhattan. Waitstaff is friendly and do not rush you out. We spent over an hour here just talking after we finished our food and no one said anything (it was also a miserable day outside so I don't think anyone was really walking around during lunchtime). read more

Came here for lunch and you can tell it's a busy spot for midtowners as the small restaurant quickly filled up. I ordered the 3 roll lunch special and soup for $13 and I pretty much left still hungry. With that said, each piece was very small. Didn't quite love the texture of the spicy tuna. My friend ordered the roll lunch special and didn't quite find her spicy salmon to her liking. We mentioned it to the waitress and although they took it back, gave us kind of a hard time with it. I'm pretty sure she left hungry too. Won't be going back as the sushi servings are so small. Maybe the other dishes have a larger serving? In either case, plenty of places to go elsewhere. This also used to be Wild Ginger so don't be fooled as a new restaurant. read more

Delicious food and our server was amazing! Ordered the hot sake and the Sushi dinner platter. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I love the portions and the prices at this sushi place. For starters, I had the beef negimaki which was good. It's made to order, served hot and had the right amount of flavour. Although I would have preferred the sauce to be less starchy. For mains, I ordered the Sushi Sashimi Combo for 1. It was very filling and I had a hard time trying to finish everything. Sashimi was fresh which is always a must. Will come back here again. read more

This is without a doubt my favorite sushi place in Midtown East! The food is fantastic! I usually don't like rolls but absolutely love them at Shima. Unlike some other restaurants, which use rice as filler, the rolls at this restaurant are filled with animal protein and veggies. The food is presented nicely and the prices are good, especially if you you're sharing food with friends/family. They always include free dessert (green tea or red bean ice cream), which is a nice perk. Their cold saki is fantastic too, and reasonably priced at around $14-$16 per bottle. Finally, Shima offers lunch specials that include soup/salad and are affordably priced. I loooooooove this restaurant and am happy that I discovered it about a year ago (when it had a different name). read more

Nowhere online is there a "no indoor dining" but we went and when we went inside the lady informed us "there is no dining indoors". We were there during the lunch hour and the front door didn't have anything of the sort posted. Additionally, all the tables were set for people to eat at. I believe this may have been a lie just to refuse service for no reason: Don't recommend unless you want to waste your time or just do takeout. read more
