Shobu by Kengo

Best Sushi I ever had. Jenn our server was absolutely amazing they made custom rolls for us! Highly recommended. Very authentic food and ambience every one greeted us at the door when we walked in, And despite being busy we got our food very quickly.

Our absolute favorite place to eat. We prefer this over Kengo downtown since parking is easier and tends to be easier to get in. The absolutely best sushi in toledo. High quality and always delicious. Great customer service

Nothing like Kengo in Toledo, understaffed and no napkins, different portions of rice to each nigiri, no wasabi, and salmon sliced in different sizes with a portion of skin left behind. Out of stock on many requested menu items.

The Sashimi is some of the best I’ve ever had for freshness and taste. The sushi rolls are very small not very tight but the taste is there. If you have some comp money and a taste for sushi stop in. My only negative comment is that for such a nice restaurant they have a clipboard with paper pieces attached as a drink menu on the tables. It’s also a necessity to have the server explain the chalkboard menu to you otherwise you have no idea what’s inside of what you’re ordering.

Seemed like they only had one laminated menu for the whole restaurant to share. Very inattentive and sloppy looking wait staff. Waitress couldnt hear anthing. Had to ask for drink menu. Which had food smashed into it. She didnt seem to know if they offered cocktails… Wasnt offered or asked if we wanted another drink. Waited for a long time with empty glasses and plates and had to ask another waitress for our check. Waitress poured what I think was soy sauce from a tea kettle (lol never seen that before) even though we didn’t order anything that needed soy sauce. Food was bland and uninspired. Things have really gone down hill here. I would say pass on it. Not worth the 100 dollar price for one drink and a plate of noodles. Waitress didn’t know if they offered hot tea.

First time here, was wonderful. Sat at the bar our server was beautiful, friendly, and knowledgeable...(taught me how to use chop sticks) The food was extremely tasteful and presentd beautifully...spicy tuna, snow crab stuffed avocado, ny strip kabob, and dumplings

The hand roll I received was broken and messy, definitely not like the rolled ones shown in the pictures... As for the yakitori, it was far too salty and overcooked, with some pieces even burnt. I was expecting better quality based on the google reviews :(

The best Japanese food I've had in Novi and Toledo
However, the menu is difficult to understand.
Because the quality is high, the price is also high.

Shobu is great! Everything is good, but I especially love their salmon teriyaki meal and negitoro roll. Their matcha dessert is also delicious. Always great service.

Drove with my family from Cleveland to Chicago this past Saturday. We didn't have reservations but we were able to be seated immediately as a full party. Beautiful hostess was knowledgeable and kind explaining the menu to us as well as our server. The food was delicious and received fast as they were very busy. We will return on our way back home and suggest this location to all.

If your ever traveling through North West Ohio you must visit the city of Toledo. Definitely a hip and up coming city that has alot to offer, such as Hollywood Casino.lets just say I came for the games but stayed for ShoBu by Kengo. Kailey C my host was wonderful, she made us feel as if we'd been dealing with a long time friend. And the food was amazing! I'd drive down from Detroit weekly just for Shobu.

This is a delicious and quiet getaway from the casino. It has a great atmosphere that smells of the yakitori being prepared. I'm a big fan of the A5 Wagyu Nigiri, it's definitely worth a try!Yakitori has a wonderful flavor and char that will have you ordering more. Our server was super kind! The snow crab salad roll was great too!I would recommend calling ahead and making a reservation.
