SHIMA

"I have been here nearly a dozen times.. every time outdoing the last. The flavors all around will have you talking for weeks, and the love that goes into the menu will keep you coming back. Not once has the quality changed. The wahoo escabeche, the bao buns, chicken and waffles, ramen, the plaza 88 roll… if i list everything I loved, id have the whole menu up here.. truly, a remarkable, intimate sushi experience. the pistachio tiramisu (on three separate ocassions) has brought tears to my eyes when telling other people about it… this place CANNOT be missed.. a work of art."

"This is my third time coming to SHIMA with excellent service from Chef Camellien, Chef Emilio, our server Erin and fellow server Reggie. I brought some friends with me for my birthday weekend and we decided to make this our last stop before going home and we were more than satisfied. It was such a delight to see all three of my friends, two of which had dinner here for the first time, enjoy all the food and they are coming back! Also, I was surprised with a pistachio tiramisu served with green tea ice cream (the ice cream kinda tasted like light coffee) which was SO good and I had to share because I was full from The Royal sushi roll, Wakame Salad, and Avocado Tuna Tower. If you are skeptical about sushi altogether, there are cooked options like the Island Crunch Futomaki which has a fried outer core and they also have Chicken & Waffles, different Fried Rice versions, Chicken & Waffles, Coconut shrimp, etc if you desire something else. I'm coming back again because the quality of food is superb and they make you feel comfortable like you're having dinner at home."

"We are big foodies and came down to the keys for an afternoon. We decided to stay for dinner and search up some new places. Shima is the real deal! It is definitely a must try around marker 88 in the keys. We will be back. It can be good for couples or older children. Everything see tried was amazing!"

"#1 sushi and Japanese cuisine spot in Islamorada If you are looking for first class service and 5 star food, bring your family and spouse here. The staff and owners are incredibly kind and attentive. We got to speak with the chef when he was making the food at the sushi bar and our server knew the menu inside and out. This dinner was the best dinner my girlfriend and I have shared in Florida. The ambiance is great for relaxing after a long day on the water fishing. The interior design is beautiful and simple. The dining room is very clean. From start to finish Shima has an excellent service."

"From start to finish our experience was unlike anything we’ve ever had. When I tell you every single expectation we had was not only met, but over exceeded. The staff were friendly and helpful, but even better the comrade between them was like nothing we’d ever seen before. Everyone seemed to help each other out. We sat at the bar and got a front row seat to watching Daniel and the owner make the most beautiful rolls. The skill they both have is simply something that can’t be taught. My husband and I ordered two apps and two rolls each. After we finished our meals, we were both so amazed at how much we enjoyed our rolls, we ordered one more each. And just when we thought we couldn’t eat any more, we got the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman who makes their desserts. We left our dessert pick up to him. He brought out the most BEAUTIFUL bread pudding which tasted just as amazing as it looked. From start to finish our experience at Shima was the best we’ve had in our three years of coming down here!"
