Shiro Japanese Restaurant

On Sunday we were down on Main Street, and wanted to try a Sushi place we had never been to. We found Shiro Japanese Restaurant on the corner of Cambie and 15th after a search on Urbanspoon, and decided to give it a try.

It is a small, clean restaurant, and we were seated promptly. The waitress was friendly, and the service fairly quick. Unfortunately the prices have increased from the menu we saw on Urbanspoon, although they do have the new prices on their own website. Still relatively reasonable, not too pricey - but no longer cheap. 

We ordered a small tuna sashimi and a large salmon sashimi. 


The pieces are medium in size, and tasted pretty fresh. The wasabi was very good, possibly home made, maybe with some garlic mixed in. 

Then we had the smoked salmon roll and the house roll. The rolls were tasty, but the house roll had way too much rice. 


We also ordered tonkatsu, which was very overcooked and chewy:


Finally we had nebeyaki udon, which was pretty good. 


Overall a decent place, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to go again.
