Our after dinner sweet bite includes this soft jelly of Yakult yogurt drink garnishes with gold leaf and chili thread.
The yogurt drink is a sweet and tart probiotic popular with kids in Korea. Here it is turmed into a marshmallow like candy with the lingering taste of a nostalgic flavor.

A new sign adorns our storefront. Now, it's easier to find us.
It was a new learning curve for us trying to find a storefront sign that did not utilize plastics. It was not easy and the options were limited but we ultimately landed on stainless steel lettering. Just another day of discovery in a zero plastic restaurant.

In recognition of National Piña Colada Day, we’re introducing a new cocktail built around Don Q Reserva Rum - a thoughtfully aged Puerto Rican rum whose notes of oak, caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit bring depth and structure to a drink often known only for its sweetness.

At SHIA, every addition to the menu begins with the ingredient. This cocktail is Bar Manager Geoff Chang’s interpretation of a familiar favorite: balanced, intentional, and designed to let exceptional rum speak for itself.

Available beginning tonight - Friday, July 10.

Not joining us for dinner? Our bar is now open for walk-ins, making it easier than ever to experience SHIA through our cocktail program.

We look forward to welcoming you.

We’re honored to see SHIA featured by Forbes and grateful for the opportunity to share the work happening behind our doors.

From eliminating single-use plastics and operating an all-electric kitchen to publishing transparent sustainability reports on OpenTable that others can learn from, SHIA was built on the belief that restaurants can be both exceptional and responsible.

Thank you to Forbes for highlighting our commitment to reimagining what a more sustainable future for hospitality can look like.

Most importantly, thank you to our team, partners, and guests who continue to support the idea that meaningful change starts with the choices we make every day.
