Shi - City of New York

Lovely service! Food was good and portioned well. No real view of the water but overall I would return

We had a mini college reunion here because of the proximity to the water. The ambiance was great, but that is all. The food was ok, nothing memorable. I ordered the super punch mocktail and started with the Toro Scallion roll. For the entree, I ordered the Crispy Noodles with Seafood. My entree dish was generous, and I ate half, and I took the rest home. When I requested to take my dish to go, the waitress took my plate as I was still eating. I even stated to her to let me take my last bite. For dessert, I got the Sundae Shi, and the same waitress gave me three scoops of vanilla ice cream and asked if I wanted the liquor. I responded, of course. The liquor was supposed to be part of the sundae. The sundae cost $11 because it contained liquor. In addition, when we got there, the hostess said we had to finish by 9 that should have been mentioned when the reservation was made. This set the tone for the dinner. We had just sat down, and the waitress asked what we wanted to drink. We had to tell her we were waiting for another friend, needed time, and requested she come back. We felt rushed to finish our meal from the beginning. We didn't care for the food, and personally, I won't be returning. I've had better food and service elsewhere.

I came in with my family and they refused to seat us. They asked if I had a res, I didn 't. They said the only seats available is in the lounge area which is a couch by the door. I asked when is the next available opening, someone else walked over and said that 's the only seat they had. Now, being black and being told I can 't get a seat really doesn 't fit. They refused to give us proper service and they said the only seat they had was by the door, no table, with a toddler? DO NOT GIVE THE PLACE ANY BUSINESS.

I have been coming to shi for years. But I came for my birthday dinner recently and couldn't help but notice all the fruit flies. Like an insane amount I killed 3 and one that was about to go in my food. The only reason I give it 3 stars is the drinks are always good and so is the food.

This is an upscale, decently crowded restaurant right opposite to Manhattan views. We enjoyed our food flavorful and packed with good spice. My starter was a huge size and had spicy tuna layers of pastry dough which was a good heart eat. My main course was hearty and good sized too. Service was pretty decent and we had a good dinner at Shi.
