Best of NH 2016: Sushi 🍣 (Readers' Poll Winner)
Best of NH 2016: Japanese Restaurant 🇯🇵 (Readers' Poll Winner)
The dumplings are SPECTACULAR! Just make sure not eat a lot of rice, or else you become full quickly (ESPECIALLY if you order a Shio Bento special).
Amazing sushi, inexpensive, attentive staff
This is a great addition to Shio. Ramen and two styles of Yakitori make for a great meal. Or maybe try Takoyaki!!!
In many ways, Shio could be the best restaurant in Portsmouth. The quality of their food and their staff makes for a wonderful meal every time. Fantastic sushi and traditional Japanese entrees.
This is a fantastic find and I will keep coming back! So delicious and fresh!
Good with food allergies, friendly, affordable, tasty, tolerant of laptop use (be polite: don't be a camper). Sushi & work FTW.
Try the M&S Roll And Mj Roll
Try the Oe Roll, H&L Roll & Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi
Sake restaurant downtown botched our reservation, and we were able to get a new one here faster than Sake would seat us. Better food hanyway
Eat here! This is by far the best sushi restaurant in the area.
If you don't have a reservation and it's a Friday or Saturday night, forget about it.
If you're vegetarian and order the tempura, ask for gyoza sauce instead of the tempura sauce, which contains fish.
Ask for the special roll menu
Make a reservation, and don't overstay your welcome, because they will rush you out!
Ask to for the special rolls menu. Also, try some of the appetizers like the amazing tuna avocado salad, and the soft shell crab.
Quick friendly service. The yellow tails melt in your mouth.
Get the Boat for Two for a superb combination of the best rolls and freshest fish.
