Shiro of Japan in Carle Place, Long Island and at The Shops at Atlas Park in Glendale has the reputation of providing diners with exceptional Japanese cuisine at affordable prices. The restaurant has more than a 30-year tradition of setting dining trends and giving patrons a fun, enjoyable atmosphere.
Founded on the tradition of a “true” Japanese hibachi steakhouse, Shiro also serves fresh sushi prepared by master chefs trained in Japan. The tightly-run operation meets its own strict standards by going the extra mile to obtain ingredients that they believe set them apart from other hibachi restaurants.
They insist on specific cuts of meat from their vendors for their steak and chicken dishes, and will only use seafood that has a freshness they can vouch for. Hibachi dishes range from chicken, sirloin steak, lamb and duck to a wide array of seafood dishes including sea bass, shrimp, tuna, scallops and lobster. They also offer numerous combination dinners.
For a taste of high end Japanese cuisine, indulge in the tender trap of Shiro’s Kobe beef. This mouth-watering cut is so supple that it could be sliced with a spoon.
Shiro is also a great place to bring the family. Children delight in interacting with their entertaining and highly-skilled hibachi chefs, and there is even a children’s menu featuring chicken, steak and shrimp.
Both locations have private tatami rooms, with seating available for large parties or a quiet dinner for two. They will even rent out their entire restaurant for weddings, bar mitzvahs and any other party you can dream up.
Shiro’s consistently excellent service and food has kept customers coming back, and their huge Japanese clientele gives away authentic reputation.
Reach their Carle Place location at 516-997-4770 and their Glendale location at 718-326-8704; both restaurants boast full bars and accept all major credit cards.
