That's seriously the only food I am craving now. When we got there, the restaurant itself is very small, there are only no more than 10 tables fitting 2 persons inside and a few tables outdoors. There is a staircase with upstairs that is the Omakase (which is only open on Wednesday through Sat) and it is a pre-fixe menu. We stayed downstairs and ordered a la carte. First, I have to note that it ended up being a very busy evening. There was only 1 server who was managing about 6 tables plus a few take out orders. He was definitely swamped. It took us over 20 minutes to take our order as he was running around busy! We ordered several dishes to share for app: Shishito peppers, rock shrimp, and the edamame. Loved the shishito peppers which had an amazing sauce on top! And the rock shrimp was good too, but too much breading. For our mains, we ordered the seafood soup and the black cod to share and the shrimp tempura roll (only cooked sushi option!) The seafood soup was absolutely delicious! So flavorful. However the shrimps in there were so small, with the exception of 1 huge shrimp. Overall, we really had a good experience. I would definitely return to try more of the sushi as it looked so fresh. However definitely recommend they hire more servers to help out.

It's a cute little basement bar with some tables along with a bar top to sit and a cozy little area in the back to sit at if you're with a couple of friends wanting to celebrate something or just to hangout. You see to my surprise they told me they no longer serve sushi and that they changed the whole concept of the place and the menu. I was a little disappointed but I decided I was there already so I would work with what they had to offer. I saw they had a decent happy hour menu, but I decided to order a drink that was not on the Happy Hour menu. Their version of a Lychee Martini. It was strong and flavorful, but very refreshing. For my tapas options I went with some Arancini and Zucchini flowers. I didn't want too much to eat after having such a huge breakfast. The arancini was flavorless but really good with the marinara sauce it came with, and to my surprise the zucchini flowers were amazing. It was piping hot, crispy with the most intense cheese pull, served with some spicy sauce and marinara as well. I went back and forth with dipping them into each condiment. I told the guy who took my order and served me that they should bottle that marinara, it was delicious. I don't know how this place use to be but I'm interested in returning for another visit because I was definitely feeling the whole vibe of the place along with the food. I think it might be a good place to visit for the whole Happy Hour of it all. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

Part of the reason was, despite having the whole restaurant available, they put me in this back corner area, in the back of the restaurant. I appreciated that the miso soup felt authentic, with large pieces of tofu, something that I rarely see. It tasted good. The sushi was just good enough. I honestly couldn't tell the fish quality, because it was so dark in the establishment, but the salmon and California roll was good. The yellowtail quality definitely was worse. I paid 19$ for the "any 3 rolls lunch special", and thought it was a bit pricey, especially considering Dragon Sushi was just a couple minutes walk and had $15.5 "any 3 roll" sushi. The prices for nigiri were insane (charged by the price, 6$ per), and with the OK fish quality on the yellowtail, I decided not to take that gamble.

They're a liiiiittle wasabi-heavy for my taste, but honestly, that seems to be a me problem (and it's the only complaint I've ever had). It's a pretty no-frills place, which I actually like. There's a little menu at the table, and someone comes around throughout the meal to tell you about the bites you've had as you move through the courses. The staff is always really friendly and efficient. I also appreciate that they change things up. On my most recent visit, we had three fish of the day, and all three were delicious. I recently brought a friend here for her birthday, and she loved it. I didn't realize they would give her a little birthday bite, which was such a nice surprise. Maybe someday I'll be brave enough to ask them to omit the wasabi for me, but until then, I'm still very happy to keep coming back.

Get the Premium Omakase, it's worth the price. One other tip that would apply to any omakase, or any other curated dining experience, is that if you go with friends, it's best to rendezvous elsewhere first for drinks, coffee, etc. and do your chit chatting, gossiping, and catching up there beforehand. When you get to Shihou be prepared to have your conversation be (politely) interrupted by the introduction and explanation of each course.

The menu is fairly on the basic side - mainly drinks and pastries and there is some sandwiches. We decided to get the hot chocolate with whip cream (the whip cream is very needed). It was very rich, thick and delicious and not "too sweet." The whip cream really makes it more creamy and it does not really add to the sweetness which was good. We also got a side of Salame e Formaggio which I would recommend passing on because the cheese was kind of hard and not that great. The salami was good and honestly I'm not a fan of olives but my friend who liked it enjoyed them. Overall - a cute place to stop by for a hot chocolate and maybe a pastry!

We got a torta caprese (flourless chocolate cake), a sfogliatella, a hot chocolate, and a machiatto. The torta caprese was okay.

The hot chocolate was reviewed on Instagram as being super rich and decadent, but it was made from a mix that smelled oddly similar to Swiss Miss. the machiatto was also quite watery.
