Shakou Restaurants offers a lively atmosphere with dim lighting and decor, creating a dance club vibe with music. The service has improved drastically, with helpful waitstaff providing recommendations like the Niku Niku, midori, and secret garden rolls. The interior is nice, clean, and bright, with both dining and bar seating. Customers have enjoyed dishes such as Gyoza, Crab Cakes with mango puree, and Chicken Katsu with sweet chili dipping sauce, which are described as flavorful, crisp, juicy, and well-prepared. The sushi options, including chef’s choice Kyu and a spicy scallop roll, are highly praised as some of the best in a while. Desserts like Pyramid chocolate mousse and Chocolate Lava Cake a la Mode add a sweet ending. The staff, especially attentive servers like Zolo and Christopher, enhance the experience with friendly and excellent service. The menu offers a good variety for both vegans and non-vegans, with specialty cocktails being a highlight. The overall experience is enjoyable, with a fun, energetic ambiance on Friday nights. Customers frequently mention the quality of food and service, making Shakou a place they look forward to returning to.
