Restaurant Review: SHIMA - Japanese Teppanyaki at Goodwood Hotel

Restaurant Review: SHIMA - Japanese Teppanyaki  at Goodwood Hotel

Last weekend my friends and I had dinner at SHIMA, one of Singapore's oldest Japanese Restaurants at the time-honored Goodwood Hotel near Orchard Road. The Hotel itself makes for a very stylish background, with which SHIMA's architecture unfortunately does not quite harmonize.


SHIMA had been closed for a while and reopened about more than a year ago with a new interior layout. Despite this renovation, the interior and ambiance are not as classy or as posh as one would expect from a restaurant in such a location, where the cheapest set meal starts at SGD 80 per pax.

For our group, we ordered the Salmon Sashimi for starters, which was one of the best Sashimi I have ever eaten, with very nice and fresh Wasabi and in decent-sized portions. The tempura we ordered afterwards was rather disappointing and really nothing to write home about. Next came the Teppanyaki, where we had King Prawns (quite decent), rice (just ok) and different types of beef. The rib-eye was surprisingly good and we all agreed that it tasted better than the Wagyu and the Sirloin, which were rather disappointing, considering that they are relatively more expensive. The Miso Soup we finished the meal with hit the spot and was a very nice finish to a hearty and heavy meal.

The Soju we had recommended by the waiter were both very nice and smooth. The staff was very friendly and attentive, so kudos for that.

From what I hear, lunch at SHIMA is more recommendable than dinner, as you get more for your buck and as, in my opinion, the substantial prices for their dinner sets are not quite justified. I've been told that at the lunch buffet there is all-you-can-eat Salmon Sashimi, so that alone would be worth the trip back.

All in all a decent restaurant experience at an upscale location, which is reflected in SHIMA's prices.

4/5 Alien Stars
