I recommend this restaurant, if you'd like to taste real Japanese dishes. However, if you'd like to eat just Sushi, please go to the other more good cost performance Sushi bar or Sushi restaurant. This restaurant is for the people who would like to eat authentic Japanese dishes instead of traveling to Japan. The chef is really trained in Japan and authorized by Japanese government. No comparable to other Japanese restaurant in Munich.

It was about 10-15 minutes walk from the Mariensplatz station. If we weren't walking fast for our dinner reservation, I would have took time for photo shooting as walk here was nice. They have staff speaks Japanese. Very authentic food here and Japanese people there at my table agreed how good the food was. They have sake and Japanese beer here. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the food. Highly unlikely of me as a Yelper, but I assure you the food presentation was nice too. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese food in Munich, I highly recommend trying here. Be sure to make a reservation as they are busy on weekday night too.

We ordered omakase special dinner, 7 course and it was €135. Normally in America, the 7 course means 7 pieces of fish. However, it is like a 7 course meal so be prepared to eat if you're doing their omakase. Service is excellent, our waiter had great recommendations for us for wine that would pair well with each of our dish. recommend if you're in Munich and staying nearby the mandarin orientational. I noted the price so you know it's pricey. Dinner for 2 ended up being over €300

Nevertheless the location inside the Mandarin Oriental in Munich disappoints - I still gave three stars because the food was good but the service was lacking. I ordered a bottle of rose - it wasn't cold at all, it was actually warm when they served it. When I mentioned it to the server he said: oh you'll have to wait for it to cool on ice? Overall, the service was really slow - we had to remind them several times for our dessert. On the good side: the food was comparable to other locations, the spinach salad was really yummy and the rolls were decent. Would I go again? Not sure... they need to up their service and then I would consider going.

In the last few weeks I've been here for lunch twice and for dinner once, and I'm toying with the…read moreidea of giving five stars. I think I'll resist the temptation for now, but understand that this establishment serves some excellent food, and the main reason I'm not going all out yet is that they are also somewhat pricey. For lunch there are two alternatives for 12 € and a few more for 15 €. The 12 € alternatives are the better deal, as they include a lot of extras, making it a really complete meal, but the udon with Spanish pork that I had for 15 € was really delicious. For the evening visit we had the pleasure of trying a very good sake from their wide selection. The dinner dishes were nothing short of great (I had black cod), and a really nice touch was that when they didn't have the high-end Japanese whisky that I ordered, they offered up the second-best whisky for free. That's classy. They don't have sushi on the main menu, so if that is what you're craving this may not be the right place for the day, but if you want some other really good Japanese food, this is an excellent alternative in downtown Munich. Oh what the hey, as I think back, this is a five stars restaurant. Please enjoy.

I've also ordered a curry dish, which came filled to the brim with chicken, vegetables, and a delicious, thick curry sauce. The matcha lattes are also really good, served warm they are perfect for a cold, rainy day, and in the summer, it's so refreshing to enjoy an iced one. They have different specials on different days, Tuesday (Dienstag) is ramen day, and Thursday (Donnerstag) is gyoza day, and of course, this is my favorite day! The prices are very reasonable, and the decor is very cute. Plus, they play a nice mixture of J-pop, which is just so happy sounding! It's simply impossible to feel down in the dumps while you are here, and I highly recommend trying it out!

Absolutely terrible. I went there with my family and it was apparent that their English wasn't so…read moregood so I tried to be patient. First thing they ask me before I even sat down was if I'm from China? I was t sure. I thought she meant if I spoke Chinese and so I said I speak mandarin and she kept asking China. After five time saying no and she still asks me, I declared I am not from china. And then she asked me in English where I'm from. I said California. We ordered beef udon, the Hana special, and some other sushi sashimi mix. Hana special had a few salmon and tuna nigiri, some tuna and salmon roll, and salmon and tuna sashimi. When I tasted one price of tuna, it was slightly rancid. I spit it out right away. I didn't complain because when they brought out the beef udon, there was no beef - I complained and she proceeds to tell me that there is beef when I dug in and searched for any sign of meat but saw none and showed her, she still insists that it was gyu udon... I'm like ok, no point complaining. Then the bill came and it was the wrong bill. I pointed it out and she immediately said this was my bill without even looking at the bill. My husband had to take over and point out everything we did not order and that's when she looked and said oh ya, it's for the wrong table. Seriously?! Because we have had such a terrible experience I had to fight for the vegetable udon and not beef udon that was given to us. She rolled her eyes at me!!! But in the end took 3 euros off. The sushi chef sensed the tension and offered my kids four lollipops which we did not take with us. Worst ever sushi experience. They were not Japanese. I can forgive the service if the food were good but it wasn't. I have myself to blame though because I broke my own rule of ordering raw fish at a restaurant that I can't trust. Naturally I didn't not tip.

We were with a party of three and ordered different 'fixed plates' and all of them came with miso soup. The gyoza was nice, the dough was not too thick, slightly translucent even. I'm used to thicker dough and slightly crispy, but I think this 'thin dough' version is actually nicer. I have hardly ever been to a restaurant where the photos shown in the menu were actually good, and never where the food that was served really looked like what was shown in the picture. This was the first time that the photos looked good AND the food looked like the photos. We ordered an average of slightly more than 2 dishes each (miso soup not included) and I felt full after diner. I would say that the portion size of the fixed plates is good enough. As far as taste is concerned no complaints either. Of the three Shoya's I've been to, this would be the one worth a return visit. If you have read my review for one of the all you can eat sushi places in Amsterdam, you might know that a sushi/Japanese restaurant will score major points if the nori (the dried seaweed that goes around the rolls) is ultra fresh and crispy. Unfortunately this was not the case with the nori in our dishes today. Nori absorbs moisture like a sponge even by just being exposed to air, so you can imagine what happens when wrapping it around other foodstuffs. So this was not so much a disappointment, but rather an observation. No points subtracted, but no bonus star (-;
