Shima serves high-grade beef at some of the most reasonable prices, considering the top-notch quality. There are two kinds of steak served here — sirloin and fillet — and each is made out of a different type of beef, both of the finest quality, of course. The sirloin is made of Kobe beef from Tajima cows, prized for their pure bloodline, and the fillet is made of wagyu from Kyoto. On top of steak dishes, there is also a simple selection of appetizers including crab meat croquettes and other seafood dishes. The friendly chef Oshima Manabu tends to the customers with his own attentive service. The involvement of the master behind the grill wins Shima some serious points for quality service. The takeaway steak sandwiches are famous here. While advanced requests are needed, it's definitely worth it, as they are prepared every day by Chef Oshima. Don't leave Shima out of your must-try places in Tokyo, because you’re unlikely to find beef of this caliber at such reasonable prices in any other other steakhouse in Tokyo.

An amazing experience, the best steak we have ever eaten. The steak sandwich was absolutely amazing - both that and the filet were like butter. Meal cost includes a palette cleanser (sorbet) and coffee/tea, definitely worth the money spent and I would return every night if I could stay in Tokyo that long! The owners are absolutely lovely people who remained sat talking to us for sometime after our mean and even gifted us a cheesecake as we mentioned we were ok our honeymoon. I would highly recom...read more

Shima was our favorite restaurant of the entire trip. Amazing food and stellar service. The staff there is unlike any other. We have told everyone we know about Shima — we’ll never stop talking about it!

The 1 year wait to return to Shima was worth it. We were greeted by an unassuming lobby which led us to the basement. As we entered the restaurant tucked in a corner, we were greeted by rousing smells of delectable treats. The main chef has been in the line for 55 years and is a master at what he does. Highly recommend going for the full 200g for the steak (because it is to die for). The steak sandwiches are a must have. His wife led us to the main floor and even hailed a cab for us.
