We were upstairs and got here at 5 so felt like we had a private space for 5 of us. Very nice pool tables we played the 9 feet one upstairs. Food was mixed. We loved the yuca fries, steak sandwich, pork belly Bao, yuca fries. Carne asada fries were heavy and just ok. Corn fritter a bit too oily and salad pretty bland. Overall had a good time for two hour for 5 of us. We used our inkind credit to pay which made it worth it. as food prices otherwise is a bit steep for the portions. Recommend.

Two nice hostesses welcomed us at the front door and made a rather pleasant first impression. The bar had choices of food and beverage, the room appeared very clean and the music was just right for us. One hostess was particularly attentive about our choice of table and described such details as pocket sizes and table sizes and also pointed at Brunswick and Diamond brands in the room. We played a nine foot table which was in a very good condition. There was comfortable enough space between tables and we enjoyed the game and the atmosphere. People around the room were nice and friendly. This is really a family place.

I was playing with my homie and before we were gonna break to start a game, he tells me we need to use a cloth underneath the white ball first otherwise we could damage the tables. I've never heard of this. I asked him multiple times why and to example n to me the logic. With this rule you could basically mess up the cloth after every hit. This idiot don't even introduce himself or anything, he just starting talking to us like we were ten year old and he was our dad. Also, he never did this shit with any other table there. There are also no signs anywhere of this rule. He pretty much killed our vibe and we left. We're grown ass men, if we fuck up your table so be it but why the fuck are you coming up to us and where we're half drunk trying to talk to us like you're our dad. Not coming back.

They have seating inside and in the patio area which is heated. We arrived on time but had to wait a little bit before getting a table. We sat in the patio area and they had to turn off the heat because it was too hot. Better to be too hot than cold. We ordered a couple drinks to start and they brought us waters as well. For our appetizers and entrees which we shared were french fries, UNI AMAEBI DONBURI, PORK JOWL, and the SHOJI BURGER. The fries came out first and were cooked perfect crunchy, and the sauces that came with it was a nice addition. The Uni Amaebi Donburi came second and it was really good, light, fresh, and overall delicious. Too bad it was a small dish with a big price. The Burger came out afterwards and it was delicious. The burger was cooked perfect, and the cheese flavor was very tasty. It was a great burger. We didn't order desserts so that will have to be next time. The service was really good because they were really busy. I would recommend reservations. The price is a little high so be prepared. i'd still come back to try other dishes because the food and service was excellent.

I have been wanting to try Shoji for a while now, but haven't had a chance to as the buzz when they…read morefirst opened was crazy with long lines. I finally got to try it and walked in on a Saturday right at opening for a party of 2. We waited probably about 15 minutes and were sat in the back patio. The interior space was beautifully done and looked very elevated. The back patio also looked nice, but definitely gave off a different vibe. The service was great, no complaints there. Everybody was super nice and attentive. The food also came out fairly quickly. What we ordered: - Donburi ($53) - 5/5 - Pork Jowl ($28) - 4/5 - Akazu Fries ($10) - 3/5 - NA Cold noodle mocktail ($18) - 4/5 - NA Dashi Apple mocktail ($15) - 5/5 - Shoji Burger ($28) - 4/5 - Ceviche ($25) - 4/5 Total after tax/tip - $236.50 Objectively, the food and drinks were pretty good. Our favorites were the donburi (of course) and the dashi apple mocktail. Some cons: - how expensive it was for the amount of food. Some reviews mentioned the donburi was tiny (which it was) - no bigger than my hand. - Almost all the dishes we got were finger foods but kind of hard to eat. The ceviche with the nori chips would fall apart. The dark nori seasoning got all over our hands and was difficult to get off with just the cloth napkin. The shoji burger was covered in cheese which we assumed was finger food since they didn't offer any knives. The donburi was filled to the top in this bowl which was small so you have to be very careful scooping out. In addition, the seasoning from the seaweed was a bit oily as well. Maybe offering a wet wipe or napkin at the end of the meal would be a nice touch. I guess it was a bit confusing given the elevated / upscale vibe it was giving off but could improve in the small details. Not sure if I can say I recommend or not but would be willing to give it another chance. Perhaps try the experience inside instead.

I've encountered several chill bartenders, others not so much. Same goes for the security at the entrance. Overall, Emporium is a fun venue to check out if you are in the area.

The security guy working on Friday night of Aug 14, 2026 literally went above and beyond to help us look for my friend's ring. He even climbed onto the game and also crawled underneath as well. Super sweet guy! Before we left, we also saw him come back with extra tokens to give to the people who got their game interrupted by him. Luckily we eventually found her ring, but I definitely wanted to leave a review to highlight his efforts. Additionally, I appreciate the free cold water that they provide & also the clean restrooms and no cover fee. It also wasn't overpriced for the arcade games & they also had some free board games lying around as well.

1-Star Review - I Wish I Could Give Zero Stars…read more I wish I could give this place zero stars. We came in on a Sunday, and there was hardly anyone there--no wait and plenty of open lanes. We started by trying to order drinks, but were told there was no bartender. Fine, we moved on. When my fiancée asked if they had socks, the employee simply shook their head. No explanation, no "sorry," nothing. We ended up going to Goodwill to buy a pair just so we could bowl. Once we finally got on our lane, it malfunctioned three different times. After the third issue, I asked for a refund because it was clear we weren't going to have a smooth experience. The only positive thing I can say is that the facility was nice and clean. Unfortunately, clean floors don't make up for poor customer service and equipment that constantly breaks down. If your bowling lanes are having issues, the least you can do is be friendly, apologize, and try to make things right. Needless to say, we won't be coming back.

It felt very awkward getting yelled out from across the bar when we just wanted to wash our hands. He stood there eyeing us making sure we got Dinks after we washed our hands.
