It's rich without being heavy, perfectly seasoned, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef in every bite. Nothing about it felt like an afterthought side dish, it was easily one of the standout plates of the night. And then the seafood risotto... honestly unreal. Creamy, flavorful, and loaded with seafood that actually tasted fresh, not rubbery or overcooked. You can tell they take their time with it. What really made the whole experience next level was our waitress, Kammi. She had that rare mix of being super attentive without hovering. Our drinks were always refilled before we even had to ask, she timed everything perfectly, and she knew the menu inside and out. When we asked for recommendations, she didn't just list items, she actually described them in a way that made it easy to choose, and she was spot on with everything. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, not just turning tables.cThe place was clean, service was quick, food came out hot and beautifully presented, and the vibe just felt easy and enjoyable. One of those dinners where everything just hits.

Their Tonkotsu ramen/kids ramen with steak is always a hit to my little girl and her dad, we love the kaki fry, crunchy ramen salad and the fried rice with steak and shrimp. The new item on the menu chicken curry rice is good too. The place is nice and cozy. The service is fast, efficient and friendly. We'll definitely be coming back again and again.

Our waitress was very attentive, and the food came out quickly. Nothing was phenomenal, but everything was fine and cooked properly. The gentleman bringing our food was rushing too much, and when he reached a plate out towards me to hand it off, the sweet chili style sauce slid off and dumped down my blouse, into my shirt, all over my Apple Watch, and down my side onto my pants and the bench seat. Unfortunately, the busboy just stood there saying nothing. I asked for napkins and he quickly brought them, and never apologized. The waitress came back by and mentioned she heard we had an accident and she was sorry about that. We were not comped in any way. That would have been a of show excellent customer service, but instead I was just left with a ruined blouse and sticky and stinky for half of my meal. Overall, a decent experience and decent food, but I hope the bus boy moved a little more carefully from now on! And my goodness, an apology from him would have been great. Happy Mother's Day lol

We've been to Shobu twice now, and it's quickly become one of our favorite Japanese restaurants…read more What I love most is the variety on the menu. Whether you're craving sushi, teriyaki, or ramen, they really have something for everyone. The sushi and sashimi are incredibly fresh -- honestly some of the freshest fish we've had at any sushi restaurant. It tastes like the chef went out and caught it that morning. The 14-piece sashimi platter with a couple of rolls was more than enough for two people, and everything was excellent quality. The ramen is also fantastic, but fair warning: the bowls are HUGE, so definitely come hungry. Their garlic edamame is absolutely addictive, and we really enjoyed the poke in the seaweed poke salad, though the dish does lean very heavily on the seaweed, so just keep that in mind before ordering. Cassidy is new to the restaurant and waited on us. an Shewas wonderful -- super friendly, attentive, patient, and just genuinely great service all around. The only downside was the new menu design. The font is extremely tiny, printed on a small laminated sheet, and honestly very difficult to read. Hopefully they make the text larger in the future because the food itself is outstanding. Overall, highly recommend Shobu if you're looking for fresh sushi, excellent sashimi, hearty ramen, and great service.

After a few minutes of looking over the menu, our server took our order and we waited for about 10-15 mins for everything to come out. Overall, we were very pleased with our meal. The one dish I wasn't very happy with was their vegetable tempura. The batter was SO thick.. it was almost as thick as corn dog breading. Wasn't the biggest fan. However everything else was yummy! I didn't try any of their actual sushi so I cannot say anything about that at the moment, however I'd love to come back and try it!

Short and not so sweet: this place is not good. I would give it a 1.5 stars because they had clean…read morerestrooms at this time. The restrooms should NOT be the star of the show at a teppan restaurant. The service was nothing special and the beef and chicken were either not a choice cut or prepared poorly, followed by a saturation of butter to deny a proper Japanese seared protein. Even more sad was how undeniably bad the fried rice was. I don't prepare fried rice at home too frequently because of the prep that's required. So I can appreciate when a restaurant does it when they have their ducks in a row. Takumi's ducks were all floating upside down because the fried rice had no personality. Again, unless you like the taste of buttered rice, THIS is not the place for good authentic Japanese food.

This is the second time I've been here and it was just "OK." I wasn't too impressed with a lot…read morebecause it is primarily a take out hole in the wall. There is limited seating. I ordered a California Roll and a chicken platter which included bacon fried rice and a "Spicy Mayo Sauce". I got my order and it was packed with everything in its prepackage and ready to go containers. It all looked like it came out of a manufacturing facility. IMHO, the California Roll did not seem freshly made and came with a tiny cup of ginger with a pea sized wasabi. So, the California Roll was ok. The chicken was diced up in 1"to 1/2" cubes and was not moist at all. Rather, it was dry. Bad choice on my part. The rice was plain with pieces of bacon mixed with you grocery style frozen peas, carrots, corn and green bean combo. It tasted good because how can you ruin fried rice when you add extra oil to the plate. Not my most highly recommended place. I would have rather gone to Panda Express and paid about $12 for a tastier plate. The $27 I paid for the 2 items was just....too much! Especially for a primarily take joint:
