My adult children wanted to take me for Mother's Day, so of course it was busy. We used the online…read morewaitlist, which worked as it should, and we were seated when our number came up. 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 decided to celebrate my mom's birthday at this teppanyaki restaurant and made the drive out to…read moreFresno. It was our first time visiting, and overall we had a wonderful experience. One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

A lot comes to mind when you hear the name Fresno. Raisins, Agriculture, Bridge to nowhere, but…read moreSushi is not one of them. So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

I came by for the first time on a weekday lunch with the intentions to grab a quick meal to-go…read more The lunch crowd is light as to be expected. I was immediate greeted by the two Sushi chefs behind the counter as I walked in. Not long after, the host greeted me and handed me a menu for me to select my order to go. I considered a poke bowl, however, their sauces were pretty standard. So instead I opted for their seaweed salad that came with a number of protein including tuna, edamame, shrimp, avocado, and masago. It was $19, so it wasn't necessarily inexpensive, however I figured a poke bowl with a couple proteins would run me right about there as well. The sushi chef got right away to work preparing my meal and I was in and out within 5 minutes. When I got home, I opened up my box and was a little underwhelmed with the presentation. The protein is cut up into small pieces and mixed in with the seaweed salad. In addition it is not pure seaweed as it is also mixed in with a bunch of other greens such as sprouts. So while the presentation was not what I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. I will definitely order this again.

The staff is a solid 10/10 - friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about the experience. Happy hour is also a great deal (just wish it lasted a little longer!). The only "downside," if you can even call it that, is that it can get pretty busy - but honestly, that's just a testament to how good it is. Definitely worth a visit!

The drinks were made immediately while the food took some time to arrive. Although the drinks came quickly, I wish my coconut rim had been applied more evenly. *Poke Nachos: these had a tropical flair with the chopped mango. The dish was covered in a thick layer of honey wasabi spicy mayo and it definitely cleared my sinuses. However, the tuna was finely chopped and sparse throughout the dish. The wonton chips were also on the greasier side and appeared darkened from unclean oil. *Strawberry Blush: a confusing mix that leaned heavier on the gin and lychee. The strawberry and lemon were practically nonexistent. I did enjoy the coconut rim, although it only lightly covered the glass. *Salmon Roll: despite being on the happy hour menu, I was surprised to see it still nearing $11. However, I enjoyed the quality and the thick cut of salmon. It was a well filled and nicely shaped roll. While the staff seemed pleasant, I was underwhelmed by the overall quality of the dishes and drinks. The cocktail was not weak as others mentioned, but the flavors felt different from those listed on the menu. The happy hour prices were also not very competitive compared with other restaurants. I would have preferred fresher seafood and better portions.

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.

They were both so tasty!! The spicy chicken wings were very crispy & delicious. They weren't spicy but still very good. The New York steak & chicken combo plate was also delicious! The protein was very tender & juicy & the bacon fried rice had a perfect balance of flavor. The service was great & the restaurant was clean but a little small. Same goes for the parking lot but we went on a Saturday afternoon & were able to easily find parking. Overall, 10/10 experience! Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

We ordered the baked mussels, the Miso Hungry Roll, and the New York steak and shrimp combination plate. The baked mussels were very good, and I especially loved the sauce. The sushi roll was well balanced, fresh, and had great flavor; everything combined really well without one ingredient overpowering the others. The combination plate came with a generous portion of rice, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked, still nice and crunchy instead of overly soft. The steak and shrimp were also flavorful and filling. The customer service was great, and the staff was very welcoming throughout our visit. My only criticism would be the pricing. The combination plates are over $20 each, which is similar to other well-known teppanyaki restaurants in town that also include miso soup and salad for the same price. I completely understand inflation is affecting businesses, but I did feel the prices were slightly high for what was included. That being said, the food and service were both enjoyable, and I would definitely stop by again once in a while.
