Shiro of Japan is known as one of the best Japanese restaurants in Nassau County Long Island. Located on Old Country Road in Carle Place, a high traffic area, Shiro of Japan has been around for more than 30 years, although switching management more than once and having had a visual remodeling over a year ago, to update its look. Shiro of Japan is not only a Japanese style steakhouse, serving hibachi style table cooked meals, it also has a sushi bar and a martini bar. Having a Japanese garden style dining room makes Shiro of Japan essentially 3 kinds of restaurants rolled up into one. There are Tatami rooms and sometimes live music and the sushi bar seems to be most popular with the lunchtime business crowd.

Because Shiro of Japan is a popular venue, you should make reservations if you don't want to wait. You are also likely to experience a nearby birthday party or two or maybe even three or four. So, be prepared for some birthday squealing and songs periodically throughout your meal. Also be prepared to be seated close or with another party of diners you didn't arrive with. So, if you want a quiet Japanese dining experience or a romantic dinner, think again. Shiro of Japan is a place for good Japanese food and an entertaining experience in a vibrant atmosphere. You are guaranteed to find your eyes following one or more shows, whether it is planned or unplanned.
