Shijo - Menu

Food is good, but the server gaslights you to pretend you ordered something different on multiple occasions based on what stock they have left. Would be understandable if he said we are out of ... But instead pretends I ordered something else !

I love ****. There is nothing better than a steaming hot bowl of curry at this time of year I am obsessed with pumpkin Katsu, but on this visit I branch out and tried the Tempoura Veg; Absolutely divine. The portions are generous and a snip at £6 a bowl.

Experienced fast food place with three vegan options available, all Donburi (rice bowl). Delicious and very full. It's a shame that they use Takeaway packs to eat, including a plastic lid to go two feet to a table and even a plastic bag for the same distance

Quality went down drastically lately. I have ordered a miso soup and the server had no idea what I want (there is a photo of it on their wall I was pointing to), managing to serve me some sort of beef soup with spaghetti masquerading as ramen. Frozen day old stuff. Sad. Avoid.

We had the vegan gyoza and the Tofu Katsu Yakisoba for takeaway. It was quite crowded but if you wait about 5-10 min, as your dish is being prepared you can easily find a spot to sit. Both dishes were very delicious. Would definitely love to go back and try other dishes as well.

Really enjoyed the tofu katsu curry, which was so flavoursome and nicely spiced, with perfectly cooked tofu. Generous portion size too, making it great value for just £7. Service was also very quick despite it being busy and I'll definitely be returning again to sample more of the menu.

Quality of food has gone down drastically. Used to be a really good spot. Now the food tastes bland and they serve so less. There’s a tattooed guy with piercings at the til. Extremely rude arrogant. Doesn’t have the patience to answr a 2 second question about the menu. Given all this I’d not recommend here so many other new spots available in the area.

this place has been around a while for good reason, they prioritise the speed of the katsu curry so if you want to get your food fast, order that. personally i prefer the pork belly udon because where tf else can i get that in newcastle?? there is some really good diversity in the menu and value for money, you are getting some pretty legit japanese food. really thankful for this place

I have been a regular customer at Shijo for more than 3 years now and until today I had no complaints about the food but today it’s been disappointing receiving a bowl of potato’s with rice but my order was chilli chicken with rice,I tried to confirm with the cook if there has been a mix up of order, but cook completely ignored and didn’t bother to answer, however he just blamed it on recipe, it was an unacceptable excuse from the chef’s side. Such a waste of money to get potatoes instead of chicken,Big no for Shijo
