Shokudô is a solid Japanese spot off King Street that offers a diverse menu of Japanese bites in a darker but intimate ambiance. The restaurant encourages guests to order a variety of small plates to share, which can lead to a pricier bill but doesn't diminish the quality of the food. The service is friendly, and the food arrives at a reasonable time after ordering. Drinks, including Japanese beer, sake, and craft cocktails, are also impressive.
The restaurant received high praise for its welcoming atmosphere, with one customer even celebrating their daughter's 15th birthday there. The desserts were described as "utterly tasteful," and the server, Sophia, was commended for her amazing service, including organizing a birthday card signed by the entire restaurant.
Highlights of the menu include oysters, uni toast, shishitos, the OG ramen soup, and tuna handrolls. While the bright red cured meat fridge may be a distraction, the overall experience is described as a great place to try out Japanese cuisine in a cool, hip atmosphere. Customers recommend ordering a variety of small plates and suggest the honey cake for dessert.
