We had a wonderful time at Shokudo. We celebrated my mom's birthday in a grand fashion. We are so happy that we chose to eat at Shokudo. The service was beyond excellent, with the constant attention to see if we were doing well and to fill our water glasses. The food. Oh the food was so very delicious. We peaked at the neighboring table and we order the same hot soba with tempura on the side. Super delicious. Along with this we had the mini sukiyaki. Also very delicious. And we ordered the unagi roll. My oh my was that good. And to top it off they surprised my mom with a birthday ice cream. It was a special lunch that we will remember fondly. And we will be back since we bought the 100 dollar gift card. Thank you so much to everyone at Shokudo for making my mom so happy. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Dana and Jeanne.

I went here thinking I was going for a sushi bar, but I ended up with an Omakase experience. The fish was extremely fresh, I found out Thursday as “fresh fish Thursday“ when they get all of their shipments in, but when I came into this place I thought it was going to be busy because of the reviews, but I was the third person there. The sushi chef was one year in the US coming from Japan, so knew very little English, but I just rolled with it. Turned out. I had a wonderful experience with some delicious sushi. I’ve had Uni in the past and I thought it tasted like the bottom of the ocean, but the Uni they had here was straight from Japan and it was very sweet … and I can now understand why they consider it a delicacy. Had a couple glasses of sake, along with the Omakase experience. All in it was about $160 … but it was unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommend this place.
