Was always a treat when I was a university student and now when I visit Newcastle I enjoy coming back and getting a meal. Mainly the Vegetable Tempura Curry. Always filling and tasty.
Not much room for dining in but still manageable if a seat can be found.
Convenient for a quick bite- especially if near the university.
Amazing chicken katsu with super fast and friendly service. There's a pumpkin option to replace the chicken to make it veggie, which is also very nice. Vegan options and vegetarian options are available. Would recommend the vegetable spring rolls.
I’ve been eating at Shijo for over 7 years and not much has changed throughout the years. Quick service, simple ingredients, satisfying rice/noodle bowls at low prices. A great lunch spot option for students and city workers!
I ordered the vegetable gyozas, it was £2.50 for 3 pieces. They were a really yummy, quick snack with a nice kick to them. You get a pot of sweet chili sauce too. It was made quickly and the staff were friendly. It is a small and cute eatery, with access from the Haymarket metro and from the street too. (Minimum spend on card is £6.50)
Still love this place after all these years, nice little selection of curry and yakisoba dishes! Get yourself along.
From what I can tell the photos DEFINITELY don’t do a service to Shijo, this place is fantastic! Excellent choice and impressive service, I’m always coming back!
I tried this place for the first time, I had the teriyaki tofu. It was really nice, the tofu was sweet (but not too sweet) I added a bit of soy sauce to the rice just to add a bit extra flavour. The rest of the bowl was nice.
My only complaint is that the spring rolls were cold in the middle, they were part of my friends food so it wasn't my problem, but it is the only thing stopping me giving 5 stars
Been going here for quite some time now and they simply don't disappoint.
Simple menu loads of flavor and a lovely little walk in or take out.
Absolutely fantastic! I could eat here everyday without getting bored or broke 😂 honestly, this is the perfect place for quick, filling and delicious lunches, 100% recommend giving it a try. It’s located in the centre which shouldn’t be too hard to find. 💯!
It was amazing. I probably would have paid more than 6 pounds for the meal i got. Even though it seemed like my order was ignored in favour of others that arrived earlier, it was worth the wait. Coming back soon.
