Customer Reviews
I'm visiting my Mom, and we always pick a new place to go. Mom chose here. Nice, clean, bright interior with dining and bar seating. We started with Gyoza and Crab Cakes with a mango puree. The Gyoza were light and flavorful with a ponzu dipping sauce. They were a great start to a meal. Crab cakes were dynamite, but a different sauce would have been better. Sweet Crab, sweet sauce... a touch too sweet. Mom had Chicken Katsu with sweet chili dipping sauce - crisp, juicy, plentiful, and the sauce was great - not too sweet, not too spicy. I got the Kyu 9 piece sushi, chef choice, and a spicy scallop roll. Fantastic. Best sushi I've had in a while. I finished with Pyramid - chocolate mousse with praline crisp filling and mom got Chocolate Lava Cake a la Mode (vanilla ice cream). Zolo, our tabletender, was killer. Never had to look for her, always had what I wanted, and she made a great meal even better. I've often said good food with great service makes a great meal. Great food with great service makes a must go back again place. Here's the Breakdown: Great food in a pretty dining space with Zolo taking care of us +5 stars. I will, for sure, go back.
We choose Shakou for our dinner out this week. We had not been here before but the menu looked amazing & it did not disappoint. We had made a reservation for Thursday at 6 but there was plenty of seating at this time. Our server was prompt & helpful, directing me to this amazing Pear martini. Our food came quickly & was so delicious! I like that their menu indicates spicy, raw fish & GF - so helpful. I look forward to trying more dishes on the menu! My only 'thing' was the atmosphere- high top tables in the bar - chairs were back to back, no room to move. Music was very loud but okay & there were many families with kids coming in all night. 🌻🌻🌻🌻❌️
My wife and I went to shakou for Easter dinner. Had a wonderful time! Great environment, terrific food and our waitress was outstanding. This is a fantastic place to have a great drink and delicious food, not to mention the and customer services was a cut above the rest. As soon as we enter the restaurant, the hostesses were fantastic... welcoming, smiling and inviting. What made the evening even better was our waitress, Nattaya. She was terrific, very professional, provided great recommendations for food and provided outstanding customer service. We will definitely be going back, as well as bringing our friends. Outstanding drinks. Extremely good pours.
We ate outside and it was a nice atmosphere. Ordered the chicken fried rice and added egg. This is the half serving. It was delicious! -1 star for the service. Never was offered a refill on my beverage and my appetizer came out with my entree. The to go order we placed didn't include the rice that should've come with it.
One of my fav place for Asian treatment in the area. Totally recommend’
