I just wanna hands down give this restaurant the best review I can give because they absolutely deserve it. I work as a chef downtown here and I’ve never had such a welcoming atmosphere. My daughter had turned 15th today and had to put together last minute plans because I worked today and they really helped with the celebration. Desserts were utterly tasteful and Sophia was an amazing server, even had everyone in the restaurant sign a birthday card for Ameriana’s bday, I can’t thank you enough for your hospitality. I will definitely be coming back soon! Happy New Years!!!!!

We decided to try this new Japanese concept restaurant and we’re not disappointed. The interior is very well done, perfect lighting, and cool hip atmosphere. The service is excellent, as with most good restaurants in Charkeston, but this was a step beyond. A well oiled Machine. Great drink options. Japanese Beer, Local Beer, Sake, Japanese Whiskey and craft cocktails. The menu consists of small to medium dishes. Don’t be fooled because we ordered too much food in the end. Highlights - Oysters, Uni Toast, Shishitos, OG Ramen Soup, Tuna Handroll and more. All in all a great place to try out. My only “negative” comment is that we were seated next/across to the Cured Meat Fridge which is super bright red (if you stare at it you get the Seinfeld Chicken episode flashbacks LOL). If I was going on a date night and chill at the Bar with some appetizers, this would be the place. But if you want Japanese cuisine and the same style and atmosphere, I would go to O-Ku.

We needed this on Charleston. Amazing food, great service (thanks Ashley) and a total vibe. The beef skewer is soooo good. Great drinks and fresh ingredients.

We went for dinner and had a wonderful meal! We got a few different items and everything was delicious. The server recommended getting a few of the smaller shared plates and one or two larger plates. It worked out great because we were able to try more dishes. I highly recommend Shokudo.

The service and the drinks were good but the food was very salty, the portions were very small, and the prices were outrageous.. would not come back here again

Food was excellent by far some of the best in town. Super fairly priced and good portions. Service is great too, drinks never got below 1/2
Shokudo is definitely a place to check out. We went in w/ a large party on 12/5/2025 and the atmosphere/vibes were fantastic. The customer service we received was phenomenal and I would most certainly come back again. We did come out of town w/ a large party and I am immensely thankful to Charlie for making it happen. Cocktails were tasty. Definitely get the fries, toro skewer, and beef tartare handroll.

Wow, this is our new favorite place in Charleston! The ambience was classy, the food was spectacular, and the service was impeccable. We were impressed with the server, Matt’s, knowledge and the swarm of service from the other servers surrounding during our meal. Our beverages never went empty, and there was never a dirty dish left on the table. We came in for our daughter’s 19th birthday dinner, and they spoiled us with some special treats… complementary appetizers and desserts. Between the manager and the servers, they all went above and beyond to make sure our experience was nothing short of exceptional. We cannot wait to go back!

The atmosphere and vibe here are great, and the staff were super attentive truly excellent service. The food is definitely unique and beautifully presented, though perhaps a bit too experimental for my personal preference. However, the cocktails are absolutely amazing and a must-try!

We had an excellent dinning experience with Chris. Every dish was amazing, the flavors were incredible, and the service was top notch. Highly recommend the bbq ribs, the oysters, and the kushi katsu. We had many other small plates and the Nagoya ramen dish and dessert. We will definitely be back!
