What User likes about Shijo:
I love ****. There is nothing better than a steaming hot bowl of curry at this time of year I am obsessed with pumpkin Katsu, but on this visit I branch out and tried the Tempoura Veg; Absolutely divine. The portions are generous and a snip at £6 a bowl. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Shijo:
Experienced fast food place with three vegan options available, all Donburi (rice bowl). Delicious and very full. It's a shame that they use Takeaway packs to eat, including a plastic lid to go two feet to a table and even a plastic bag for the same distance View all feedback.

The service was great but the food tasted like premade stuff and was served with a wooden fork

The food at this restaurant is good, but unfortunately they have a minimum card spend of £6.50, which is frustrating when their most popular dish is only £6.00....
