A courteous welcome and professional service accompany an offering that traverses the great classics of the Japanese tradition: hand-made gyoza with various fillings, tempura and other fried preparations executed with precision, raw fish in the most canonical combinations, ramen, rice in various preparations and much more

Review summary

Located in central Rome, Shiroya offers Japanese cuisine with mixed reviews. Food quality is polarized; while some praise the fresh sushi, ramen, and open kitchen, others report declining standards and cross-contamination risks. Service is a major point of contention, ranging from attentive hospitality to complaints about rude, impatient staff. The venue is small and cozy but can feel crowded and lacks privacy. Although ingredient freshness is occasionally highlighted, inconsistent service and limited comfort are significant drawbacks for potential diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners prioritizing fresh ingredients who can tolerate a cramped environment, with prior confirmation of service standards advised.
