The food is good and well priced . The guy with piercings at the till was beyond rude though for no reason so have to rank down due to this.

I used to adore this place, but recently they have only been doing a tiny drizzle of curry sauce when ordering the curry option. The first time I thought they had forgotten to put the curry sauce on altogether and just thought it was a mistake.I went a week later and same issue again; about a tablespoon of curry sauce at the very most. Only realised when I got home. Sadly won't be going back for now.Generally it's still a great place, nice atmosphere and good service. The food itself is always delicious.

This used to a regular spot for us, but there are better and cheaper places nearby.The quality of food has significantly went down. Ours took considerably longer to come than others, which we didn't mind. However it was lukewarm, which we found bizarre.After both spending close to £10 each, it was disappointing that we weren't able to add a drink retrospectively, as this didn't meet the minimum £6 criteria. There are also lots of 'cash only' offers, which isn't ethically right. The charge of using a card to the restaurant is circa 4p for a £2 transaction, it's disappointing that they are that tight, they refused the purchase.This is a huge case of being short sighted, as I will never return here. I strongly urge others to look at nearby restaurants for better value, service and food quality.

Super cosy place, the food was so nice! Me and my boyfriend got the chicken katsu donburi and sides of chicken wings. The dons were flavoursome and the wings so soft and juicy! 4 chicken wings were £7 but worth it! The dons were £6 each as it was a special offer if paid by cash. Thoroughly recommend, the staff are very friendly and informative too!

Great fast food with good price for a takeaway. Option for student discount. Tofu is amazing. Short waiting time. Highly recommend.

Been coming here for a couple years, food never disappoints, it’s always made quickly and it’s always 10/10

Ordered katsu chicken yakisoba. I received over-cooked chicken nuggets, over-boiled carrot and green beans with unseasonal noodles. Very disappointed, did not finish.
Bought a seafood tempura using my card on Friday, no receipt given. Checked my statement on Monday and £17.80 has been charged.

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!

It's gone down hill. Asked for Katsu curry and teriyaki curry. Katso curry the rice they used was dry -like 3 day old. Asked them to make it spicy which they said they couldn't, which is absolutely fine but man said it very abruptly and was rude about it. Place was very messy but there were only 2 customers. I would say kato is a better alternative, with excellent customer service, similar cuisine and price range.

Ordered the katsu chicken curry as it’s their signature, however i surprised when I found out that the chicken was not actually real chicken it is more like nuggets. The katsu sauce was amazing but the chicken quality ruined the flavor and the experience

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.
Such good food.
