I dont even know where to start! 10 out of 10! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and clean! The menu wasn't overly done, so I didn't get stressed trying to navigate it or decide. We went for the chefs choice dinner, but because it is restaurant week they didn't offer it, so I went with the menu that is offered for restaurant week my husband ordered off the regular menu and we shared everything! Because it was our anniversary they brought us a complimentary tuna appetizer...read full review
Amazing food, amazing concept. 10/10 recommend.
Friendly neighborhood Japanese tavern with high quality fish and robata grilled skewers besides other delicious dishes.
It's a pleasant atmosphere, with outdoor space, and professional yet relaxed service.

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.
