This place was awesome! The only problem is that the day I was there was the last one they were open. According to an employee, it's still going to be a sushi spot, but they are getting rid of the old staff. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but if it gets better, then the new spot will have god tier sushi!

The server took forever to come to us and there was hardly anybody there. She eventually took our drink order then didn't come back for like 20 minutes to take our order. The sushi was not good. It was suppose to be tempura coated and deep fried but was coated in what looked like Panko flakes and fried which gave it a weird flavor and uneven temperature but mostly was just cold with a few warm spots. We had to repeatedly ask the other waitresses for things because it's was nowhere to be found. We had asked for a refill on ice tea and never got it. We eventually asked the other waitresses for the bill and our waitress finally brought it to us. This place use to be good but now is a disappointment. Don't waste your money!

Great tasting food and very friendly service! They really stepped up when I accidentally knocked over a drink on our table they immediately got towels to absorb and made me feel more comfortable about the situation like it was no big deal and I appreciate that cuz oftentimes like that I found myself experiencing a situation like that as traumatic because it happened in front of multiple people and was embarrassing. They really helped me feel so much better about it! Mmmhm

Came in for lunch and told our waitress that we had somewhere to be in 45 minutes. Their was a large party in front of us and she didn't say it would be a problem to serve us in within our needed time frame. After 40 minutes of waiting we told them we needed to leave and if they had not started preparing our food to stop our order. They said that they had started, so we stayed to pay for our meal even though they made us late for our appointment. The didn't offer any discount so I paid full price for a meal I couldn't eat. The restaurant was also a ghost town and empty tables, so it wasn't because they were overly busy.

Definitely not a lunch venue. Won't ever be back.

I really want to love this place, but it's so hit or miss. In the past we've had great food, but we've also been served incorrect food or the food is served with a lot more/less sauce, different ingredients than other times to the point it doesn't taste similar. This evening the lemonade tasted like straight lemon juice and flavor syrup, we added water to our drinks multiple times until we could drink it. The bun on my chicken sandwich was burnt (sorry I don't have a better pic). My daughter enjoyed her bento box and my husband said his roll was okay. We will wait a while before giving it another try.

Such a cute restaurant. We really enjoyed our sushi. Unfortunately, the service was very slow on this past Sunday evening. They need more employees to cover every aspect, especially the bar. Our waitress was also the bartender, in a separate room, causing our food to sit at the sushi bar about 15minutes before it was served. We might return a different day.

The food was excellent. The kids had Bento boxes and we had a spicy tuna roll and firecracker roll. Both were to die for. Service was a bit slow considering how many people were actually in the restaurant and we had a fairly new server that still needs some practice but overall a great experience. We will be back!

I was very disappointed. Their service is usually fantastic. But we waited forever just to get our order put in.
And it took longer to finally get the food. We had the calamari, it's usually fantastic, but this time there Seem to be a lot more breading.
Makes me wonder If the normal staff and cook, we're out sick to. Day

This place is always consistently good, but for some reason, it seems to be difficult to find good nigiri no matter where I go. I used to own my own sushi restaurant and built it from the ground up so obviously I'm a bit picky, but I'll keep coming to this place for the atmosphere, service and overall great food!

Dined here based on raving reviews from my coworker. As far as the sushi goes, i have nothing to complain about. I'd say it was good and worth the price. We also got the calamari and poppers, which were ok. Nice atmosphere, we ate in the bar.

The first time I came here everything was amazing. I came again last night and was really disappointed. My food took so long (about 45 minutes-1 hour) I ordered 2 rolls and miso. My rolls not only were small but there was barely any fish and the end pieces had no fish at all. I essentially paid for rice. I was still hungry after eating but considering how long the food took the first time, I didn't order more, like I had intended to. I left and ended up going to taco bell afterwards. I probably will not be back. The amount of time it takes me to drive to caldwell I could have driven to boise and had all you could eat at a better establishment for lesser price for me to still be hungry.

I personally think they way overcharge for small sushi rolls. They took forever even though they were not busy. When we got our jalapeΓ±o poppers the bacon around them was cold. I spent over 80 dollars on sushi expecting to take 40 dollars worth of food home. I went to my car ran back inside when I realized I forgot my food (a total of 5 minutes) and they had already thrown my food away. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else.

The miso soup was good, I finished it in like 5 minutes, and it stayed warm all the way home. I missed the wasabi and ginger that usually comes with sushi rolls. The rolls themselves seemed a bit flavorless, I've heard some chefs will put a bit of wasabi in the roll, just enough for flavor and this could've used that. I don't think I'll be back for the sushi, some of the textures and tastes felt off and both me and my fiance had some tummy issues the day after.

Food was excellent! We enjoyed the vegetable tempera as an appetizer, which tasted wonderful. The firecracker sushi roll was delicious, this coming from a person with a very limited seafood liking and the veggie sushi roll was amazing with so much flavor. The customer service was good, but wasn't great due to the host forgetting us after clearing a table for us. I wasn't impressed with the waitress that washed a tabletop but never moved the happy hour menu or candle to wipe the table fully. This concerned me, but not enough to disgust me, just made me glad I was not sat in her section. Our waitress, was great at ensuring we had everything we needed and followed up on the service, but not over bearing with interruptions. The atmosphere was great, as we could have a conversation without straining to hear each other and we couldn't really over hear other customers conversations. All in all, we had an excellent date night diner.

Took way to long to get order taken especially when you have to sit for 2 hours just for sushi rolls, It doesn’t take that long to make a sushi roll. Also I think the ranch or the chicken tenders were bad. My nephew got food poisoning and has been throwing up all night and today. Buttt the sushi was pretty good

Took my family and guests from out of town to eat here and the service was horrible. We ordered 4 appetizers and and got our entrees before the appetizers and drinks. We didn’t say anything about it but got charged for it at the end. After I asked our waitress about it she said they forgot… no drinks, no appetizers, no silverware. I will not be back at this establishment. We take dining out a little more seriously than the staff does here…

This was my first time going to this sushi bar. I have heard many good things about it... the food is great! The service.... way under the bar. I don't know if it is too young of gals or maybe just too loose or a management over-watch.
When I arrived, I let them know my first and last name, and I called in an order. I sat for 25 minutes while 4 groups were seated. Then my food waited in the bag for another 10 or so minutes until I went up and asked again how much longer.... now while I was waiting, the receptionist and her friend were playing on their phones and not paying attention to when food was ready for customers.....
Hope if you eat at the restaurant you will have better service than what you will get if you order to go.

Sushi was good. Server was so kind and good. Would NEVER return though. We were brought someone else’s sushi order by the β€œmanager”. It sat on our table for 5 minutes while the manager argued and insisted it was our order. We ordered 3 rolls and they brought 4. We asked if we could talk with our server, as it did not look like our order and she was calling it something else. She brought our server over and said β€œWill you give them their sushi, I don’t have time for them, they don’t even know what they ordered.” When they figured it out they took the food that sat on our table to the correct table. Gross. Our sushi was comped by our server for the rudeness that we encountered. On our way out I mentioned to the β€œmanager” that what we heard her say to our server was very rude, and instead of apologizing she called me a liar and then proceeded to harass us and take pictures of us as we left. It was unbelievable.

This is a pretty good sushi spot. They also have food for the kids and for people that don't like sushi lol. If you like spicy tuna just have them add fresh jalapeno in the roll. Their calamari is amazing it comes with the rings and also the little baby squid/octopus. Their house salad is really good with the miso dressing. They have a bunch of signature alcohol drinks. That look really good but I have not tried.

Went to dinner tonight. Ordered Edamame for appetizer and a Sapporo beer. About 10 minutes later server informed us they were out of Edamame and Sapporo. We ordered our sushi rolls. As we waited several staff went outside and could be seen vaping outside on their break from the window in the bar right by our table. A female staff member from the kitchen did not have her hair pulled back, just hanging loose under her hat. Our rolls were underwhelming. The rice was not cooked completely and was on the cruchy side. It is a shame. We have been dining here since it opened and the quality and service has really gone down hill. We will not return and will instead go to Nampa for our Sushi experiences from now on.

I have been here several times and every time its the same. The food is good but the service is horrible. Dont buy mixed drinks here either... stick with soda or beer. They have multiple sushi chefs frantically making sushi rolls but somehow it still takes an hour to get your meal with very few people in the actual restaurant. They must be prioritizing "to go" orders over orders made in the restaurant. That is the only thing I can figure. In restaurant orders are always going to make them more money because people are ordering drinks, etc. while dinning in. I would think dining in guest would have service priority!

If you really like sushi don't go there. Unagi on rattlesnake roll was about 1 mm thin, and only on half of the roll. No harmony in flavors and textures. Also I found an avocado stem in the roll. Good restaurants make a discount or a food compliment in such cases. If they want you to come back. They don't, we won't.

I’m local and have eaten at most every sushi place in the treasure valley. This is by far the worst sushi I’ve had in a long time. And I’m really not even that picky! The tuna nigiri tasted like it was starting to turn. I got 3 different rolls and didn’t finish any of them and sushi is my favorite food! Im telling the honest truth when I say that Albertsons and Fred Meyer have better sushi. Such a serious disappointment. It’s not even that hard to have at least DECENT sushi. At least it only cost me $50 to find out where I will NEVER eat again.

It was fine. I wasn't blown away by anything special. Food was good, just not amazing. We had sushi and the Orange Chicken dish. Orange Chicken could have been sweeter for my taste, but it was perfectly cooked (not soggy). Sushi was good, the rice on the sushi wasn't packed tightly, which is fine, just an observation. A five star for me is more like the Cheesecake Factory.

I have tried out a couple different Sushi places around town and this is by far my favorite. Its little more expensive than some of the other options (but still fairly middle ground) and the taste and quality is great + presentation is beautiful.
The restaurant is clean with a nice atmosphere and the staff have all been very friendly and helpful each time we have gone.
lots of options to choose from, both raw and cooked. so if you or a friend are a little shy about starting with the raw stuff this is a great place to start. (also they have some of the best fried calamari i've had in a long time.)
Its become me and my mom's favorite spot and we try to go at least once a month. I highly recommend the Citrus shrimp roll and the Cocomo roll! :)

I love this place, I get the calamari every-time I go, I love that they have whole tentacles and tubes, the tentacles are my favorite and the batter is bursting with flavor and it’s the perfect texture! The waitress told me they do a buttermilk soak before frying it up and I think it just adds to its perfection! The kids love the sushi, rolls are nice and big and the plating is always impressive! Also the service here is always above and beyond, this place is a must try if you haven’t been!

They were great at first. I see the great pics and hope they have taken the feedback to heart and fixed it. I try again in good faith to order the calamari I loved in my first experience and am always disappointed. It's greasy, a few tiny rings, disgusting tentacles resembling a πŸ•·, Way too much breading, actual mouth full of just greasy breading. Did I say greasy? Extremely greasy, may want to consider changing some of the cooking temps and drain the excess oil. At least they stopped putting in the wilted greasy lettuce, finally! Overall everything is too expensive, poor quality, why am I paying 20 bucks for a tiny bit of sushi that is only ok? I should just get some Fred Myers sushi instead. FIX IT, YOUR PATRONS DESERVE BETTER.

So I’m not one to write bad reviews as I know how much they can hurt a small local company, but after our meal tonight I need to. We ordered the vegetable tempura and it was so soggy and not even really coated in any tempura the broccoli was barely cut from the stalk. We got almost an entire head of broccoli that was semi fried. We ordered the spicy tuna roll the thing was 90% jalapeΓ±os and a tiny amount of fish. The avocado on top was brown. we ordered the chicken strips for our kids with fries and the entire thing was soggy and fairly tasteless. We ordered here a long time ago close to when they opened and didn’t have a great experience, decided it’s been a long time let’s give them another chance. Will not be giving any more.

I certainly enjoy little quaint spots. But this little Jewel hidden away in the downtown Caldwell area. When you first go in you think oh okay and then once you're through the door and you see the nostalgia the history the open space cleanliness has its own little bar also well maintained cleanliness good atmosphere this place is well priced the service phenomenal they're more than willing to go out of their way to take care of their customer if you like sushi here you go any sushi you'd like made fresh got to love it. Shi is rockin the sushi 🍣 in Caldwell.

Two of us went to the bar and got terrible service talking to the couple next to us they also got terrible service. Sushi took an hour and a half to come out and wasn’t that good. Definitely seemed like social hour for the employees and I feel like I severely overpaid.

Rolls are not too large, but delicious! I especially recommend the Citrus roll and Cocomo roll. Clean, professional atmosphere. They were training a new chef, so our rolls did take awhile but that's understandable and we had nowhere to be. Overall highly recommend, even though it can be spendy!

This place is AMAZING. This is hands down the freshest seafood I've had in the valley. The atmosphere is hip and welcoming. Servers are friendly and helpful if you have questions about menu choices. I went with a friend who chose the hamburgerπŸ™„ and she was delighted as well. I only wish they'd put the happy hour seaweed salad on the regular menu. I'm totally addicted.

First and last time here. Waited over an hour for food. Had to take it to go. The food was overpriced and the chicken was very dry. Our server did not check on us or refill drinks despite the place being nearly empty. Wasted 42 dollars on very sub par food. It's disappointing!

I'd heard good things about this place but based on my experience I would not recommend.

Sushi was mediocre this time. Past experiences have been different. Also saw a party of 14 get turned away saying they could not serve them. There were 4 employees standing around complaining about the 14 person party and there were literally only 2 tables of 2-4 people. You would think 4 people standing around would be able to handle 20 total people in a restaurant with 10+ empty tables.

We visited Shi Sushi a couple of years ago shortly after they opened and were underwhelmed, but were pleasantly surprised when we decided to return a few weeks ago! The service was friendly and efficient, and we very much enjoyed the food.
We started with the calamari for an appetizer, it was delicious but a little overly greasy. Their cocktail sauce was zesty and spot on.
My husband ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Vegas Roll. I tried the Vegas and definitely would order it next time! It was fantastic! And he enjoyed the Rainbow roll, one of his classic favorites which he always likes to try at new sushi places.
I ordered the grilled salmon with stir fried veggies and yakisoba noodles. Everything was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly.
We also shared a large cocktail which was sweet, delicious, and a little rummy. πŸΉπŸ˜…

Will return! Very happy with our decision to give it another shot.

The atmosphere and food were good. The service on the other hand, was pretty bad. It took over an hour to receive our sushi and the server didn’t talk to us until it was time to fill out receipts for a tip. Anytime we asked for water or wasabi, it took at least 10 minutes. There were only about 5 tables with customers, and it didn’t appear they were short staffed. I have really enjoyed coming here in the past but i was thoroughly disappointed this time.

If you feel like Sushi, definitely give this place a try! I came here with my 7 year old son, and we both left full and happy. I got two different rolls; the Shrimp Tempura roll, and the Charge It roll. Both were quite tasty. My son had the chicken strips, which he really liked. He said they didn't even need ketchup, which is high praise from him! Prices are reasonable for it being a sushi joint, just don't expect to get out of here for much under $20 a person. Nice atmosphere with a modern vibe inside. Great service from friendly hosts and wait staff.

We have been looking for an amazing sushi restaurant and we finally found one! The food is delicious. I had the dynamite roll deep fried with jalapeΓ±o instead of carrots. I asked the server for advice as I was debating on my choice. She was phenomenal and gave me an excellent idea with the jalapeΓ±o and deep fried option. It was all so good we asked for a second roll. I got the rattle snake roll which was also amazing. The Mai Tai is great as well. If you are looking for great food and AWESOME service look no further!

My husband took the kids here by himself a few days ago. Paid almost $100 for three drinks and food they never got. He had asked them to box the food to go because our youngest wasn't doing well but two hours later they left without the food he had already paid for.
Thank you for taking care of this.

An absolute joke!! I've been coming here since they opened... It was decent before, now it's almost criminal. Stale and stiff rice, smelly and discolored fish, microscopic portions of protein. sloooooowwwww service,(if you get service). Forget about refills or multiple drink orders unless you sit at the bar. You either get completely dry or floating amounts of sauce on your roll. Consistency is non existent. I was fed up and paid my bill after almost 2 hours, before my food came out. I left without eating... Nothing good about it.

If you love waiting an hour for your food this place is for you! Work break lunch can’t happen here, sorry! Even to-go orders you are sitting and waiting for. It’s odd because every time I go back, theres hardly anyone sitting down but they take extremely long. Moreover, they cram wasabi in the to-go container and the sushi had wasabi all over it, so I could not eat it. I called to offer the suggestion to SEPARATE the sushi from wasabi and trina or shaina or whatever her name was told me rudely that thats how they always do it. Finally, on the same roll I always get, they had this β€œnew” weird sauce on it, and they told me it was new and not on the menu yet. Umm, don’t you think it’s important to have your menu updated for folks who may not like certain flavors or have allergies to food. Horrible!! I don’t think I will be ordering anymore from this place sadly.

Stopped serving food early while I was on a date. The prices were abnormally high for the area, but that wasn't the issue when I was there. The problem was closing a half hour early after serving 1 snickers-bar sized roll. Please honor the hours on your door, or let customers know when they arrive that they'll need to find a secondary restaurant option.

Save your money, and time, for anywhere elsewhere. Unfortunately, despite a great interior design, in downtown Caldwell, the service and food was bad to the point of unacceptable. To be left waiting over an hour and 15 minutes, after ordering, was frustrating enough. Given that there were only three other tables taken in the restaurant, all arriving after our party of 2. Then the food finally came. Or, rather just the 3 sushi rolls. The yakisoba noodle bowl, without the noodles, since they had run out, still wasn’t ready yet. The Sushi rice was stone cold. The Salmon Nigiri looked faded and unappetizing. And worse enough, there were so many cut and half cut green onions sprinkled ontop, even picking all visible still left every bite filled with large bits of onion. I’ve had higher quality at all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in the valley. Spent 60$, to wait on 3 rolls and nigiri, with a noodle bowl with no noodles, and left feeling frustrated and completely unsatisfied. Reading through, I’m not the only to comment on unusually long wait times, for mediocre sushi. We will absolutely not be eating here again, I recommend elsewhere if you’re craving sushi.

Definitely not good sushi. Highly disappointed with what my husband and I got for how much money we spent. The sushi at Winco, Safeway and Fred Meyer has more flavor than here. Everything just tasted bland and the eel was over cooked. I don’t know how you managed to get rice to taste bad, but you did…We won’t be coming back. One and done.

This place has a great atmosphere. The sushi was good and tasted fresh. There's a bar in the back with a more casual feel. The bathrooms were very clean and nicely decorated. This would be a great place to bring a date. My only complaints are the service was a bit slow. We were one group out of only few at the time of our visit and it took about 30 minutes to get 4 rolls. I think they had some new staff that was slowing things up a bit. I hope they improve and I hope to be back.
