Shobu by Kengo

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.

I went here because my plan to eat at the main restaurant was closed and I had to come here for 2 hours. Since it's inside the casino, I had kids so I couldn't go in and went to TOGO instead. First, the yakitori was clearly overcooked and bitter. It was quite burnt. Although the sushi ingredients were great, there was a core in the rice, which was quite disappointing. Shari was not good at all. I had high expectations for it, and even though I paid $180, I was really disappointed. However, the store clerk was a nice person who taught me various things. I would like to get my revenge at the main store next time.

The sushi is okay for its price. You can stop by if you are already in the casino, but you don't have to come all the way down here just for this. But I can say their service was great. I could feel that they put effort in taking care of their customers.However, I strongly recommend this place to update their omakase menu. To be honest, I was a little shocked when I got a standalone roasted avocado for their $120 omakase dinner. The appetizer was great, but the following 6 dishes were too heavy and greasy. The yakitori in these courses weren't impressive at all. They were too burnt and too salty that I had trouble finishing them. These were followed by a disappointing roasted avocado. There were 7 sushi courses after these which were okay, but not impressive. Some of them had too much soy sauce on them. On the upside, they asked us if there were additional sushi we wanted to try after the final course, so you won't be leaving this place hungry.Overall, I would not recommend their omakase for someone who wants mostly sushi. Their standalone nigiri pieces are not too expensive so I would just order these separately and you would be equally or more satisfied with $120 worth of sushi.

I have been going to Kengo downtown as well as shobu since it opened for some time.Every single visitor that I’ve had to Toledo I have taken here.This restaurant, far exceeds any expectation that you could have from a sushi spot, and I would not even classified as just another sushi restaurant. It is on a different echelon as far as quality and creativity and the owner. Kengo is one of the nicest most community committed individuals ever with a phenomenal pallet of culinary creativity.….This is absolutely one of the gems of the city

The quality of the food was great. We got a couple of cocktails, miso soups, wagyu nigiri, spicy tuna roll which was delicious and another roll can’t remember the name. There seemed to be a lot of employees working but the restaurant itself wasn’t busy at all. Atmosphere was lacking something but can’t put my finger on it as to what. Would be back for the spicy tuna roll for sure and the drinks.
