That was an awesome time with my girl, the food was great, and the pasta was, well, between the portions and the beef quality, it was amazing. We're definitely coming back for the fourth menu.

The food was amazing. We were the only party there on a Tuesday night, but it did not make it less of an experience. The chef was super attentive to our needs. The pickled vegetables to go with the meat was delicious as well
Briana
My fiance and I had such a great time!!! Philip was our griller / waiter and he was the BEST. He made us laugh and was so friendly. He even brought us something special that was not on the menu ! It was such a cool experience!

I have been wanting to come back to Yakiniku Shodai for months and finally managed to do so. Quality of the food including wagyu, rib cap, scallop is top notch. Service, conversation with the chef and beverages are also fantastic. Every bite bursted with flavors. Don't forget to ask "off the menu" items if you desire more food after the set menu.

Great staff!! Celebrated my girlfriends birthday and it did not disappoint! Would highly recommend coming here
Linda
Delicious food and fun concept with having the chef as the server and cooking our dishes perfectly, but needs a dramatic interior revamp and exhaust fans. Interior is mismatched, sad, and cheap, but again, the food was delicious. Bit of a weird disconnect. Fun to go with foodie friends who can afford to pay premium for yakiniku and don't care about ambiance and smelling like a cookout afterwards, but not a beautiful restaurant for a romantic date.

There was only 3 other people at the restraunt. Wish it had more people for the ambiance. It was also very quiet. Staff was great. Quality of food was great and the service was great. If you like high end steak then this is the place your you. Although, the scallop was pretty amazing too.
Keith
One of a kind experience. Such personal service and the food was so excellent. Made for a special Valentine's Day.

Not as good as it used to be.. Servers acted weird towards us. I've been here probably 6 times since they opened and this was my worst experience
James
Our server was unpleasant and cold. Food was good but high priced. They add 25% to the final bill. Not bad but no rush to return.
3.5-ish. Came here with a reservation on a weeknight and the first thing we noticed was the very strong meat grilling smell and bright fluorescent lighting. Naturally the smell would be a given with this type of restaurant but it took away from the upscale ambience a bit. Our bill came out to over $500 for two people. The meat was good and our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, but we left wondering if we could have had a similar meal down the street at Gyu-Kaku for less than half the price.

We reserved the table last minute on that day, probably because of that we are not served by the restaurant owner, unfortunately, the chef that cooked for us was not performing at a high standard, particularly, the think cut steak was cooked for too long, most pieces are burnt and overcooked.

This place was nice and a great place to relax and chat. Not too loud or too quiet. The service here is phenomenal and all the staff are super kind and attentive.
The food was phenomenal! Absolutely some of the best beef I've ever had and the servers took care to explain everything. Each course was delightful and this place was a good refuge from the streets of SF. ,
