I came to Shoyu Sushi to reconnect with some friends visiting from overseas, but unfortunately, the experience was interrupted by poor service. After being seated, we informed our server, Temme, that we’d like to split the bill. Rather than acknowledging the request politely, she responded with clear irritation, saying she would only split it three ways and made it obvious she wasn’t pleased. Throughout our meal, no one checked in on us, which was disappointing. When I finally managed to flag Temme down to order a roll to go, she abruptly told a coworker to “get this for her because I have to call my kid.” The interaction felt rude and unprofessional. We were genuinely looking forward to enjoying good sushi and catching up, but the poor service completely overshadowed the experience. I won’t be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Very polite staff. We felt very cared for. The beef stir fry udon was the best meal I've had in a long time. Absolutely amazing. Our new favorite family spot

Shoyu Sushi 2 was the perfect spot for a mid-day lunch and conversation. A friend and I met here to catch up and exchange counsel on current events, and the space felt fresh, open, and professional from the start.
The staff was welcoming and kept things moving smoothly without ever rushing us. Our food arrived quickly, beautifully plated, and just as flavorful as it looked. It struck that balance between quality and efficiency—making it easy to enjoy both the meal and the moment.
Shoyu Sushi 2 is a great go-to for lunch in Bakersfield: fresh atmosphere, fast service, and sushi that satisfies. 🍣✨

Just tried this place for the first time and hands down the best sushi we’ve had. Animal and the staff were amazing and took care of us so well. The animal and firestone roll were delicious!! Definitely will be coming back here because the menu is endless!

All the rolls we had were great! Full of flavor.

Their fresh wasabi is a must to have with your sashimi! Highly recommend the white Tuna since its so fresh and delicious. I've been here a few times and their customer service is always good. The sushi chefs are friendly and very attentive.
Very tasty, a bit pricey. Bacados is still our favorite.

Everything is always good!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. Music on the overhead set the mood.
Def the better sushi spot in town.
Congratulations!

Great Sushi place that has had some ownership / name changes through the years. Classic dishes are here as tasty treats. Enjoyable interior with customer picture wall. Has sound system and lighting. See video on “Birthday Music 🎵 Cheer !”

Food didn't feel as fresh as it could have been. My girlfriend and go to Kai Pao on the other side of the street quite often. Kai Pao wasn't open yet so we tried Shoyu Sushi 2 . The restaurant is small. Not a romantic place to go if you wanna have some privacy. It was an " ok " place to eat if you like sushi.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!
