Shiro
4.6 (225)restaurant
A South Pasadena fixture serving French-Japanese cuisine with white-tablecloth polish and relaxed neighborhood warmth.
Description
Dinner unfolds under low lighting and soft music, leaning into an unhurried, adult pace. The menu balances subtle French and Japanese cooking with rotating specials, anchored by a standout catfish alongside starters like squash blossoms or hamachi. Pours range from fine wines to the house Shirotini, while dinners often wind down with figs with ice cream or crème brûlée. Decades of milestone meals and attentive service give the room a relaxed warmth that never feels stiff.
