The only one of its kind in Caldwell, this restaurant is ‘sad’ to announce it’s closing

A downtown Caldwell destination for Asian food and cocktails soon will vanish.

Shi Sushi and Spirits, 521 Main St., is set to shutter this week.

“We are sad to announce that July 27 … will be our last day of service,” owner Tabitha Hutchison wrote on social media.

Speaking on behalf of the staff, she added that it’s “been an honor to serve the Caldwell community for the last 4 1/2 years. We loved every minute of it!

“I just want to say THANK YOU so much for your patronage over the years. You were with us through the ups and downs and for that I will always be grateful.”

Marketing itself as Caldwell’s only sushi spot, Shi Sushi occasionally branches out with other items on special. Its menu also offers various bowls, a sandwich and a hamburger.

Sushi isn’t the only cuisine served at the restaurant. A recent weekend special was sweet and spicy shrimp skewers with a hint of orange citrus served over vegetables, crispy noodles and rice.

Shi Sushi has a full liquor bar, too.

Located next to Indian Creek Plaza, the restaurant shifted to summer hours in mid-June: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday (it was open Sundays, too).

“Stop in and say hi before we close,” Hutchison added, “and order your favorite dish one last time! Can’t wait to see you.”
