✨ HighlightShiro is a grand, beautiful, spacious and modern restaurant. The food was flavorful but on the sweeter side, which I am not a fan of. Overall, I loved the chicken suya maki and the ribeye steak, but not the crab cakes, crispy duck bao and fried vegetables eggrolls. The tiramisu was not the classic italian, but an overly sweet cake with coffee flavor. Cocktails were delicious. Service was good, but the server came our table to check on us too many times which was disruptive to our conversation.→
