" If you're looking for a taste of Japan in Lincoln, look no further. Shokunin offers authentic dishes that transport you straight to Tokyo. The ramen is a must-try—rich and flavorful—and the sushi rolls are artfully crafted and delicious. My favorite part of dining here is the attention to detail that goes into everything, from plating to service. Every bite is a reminder of the dedication the chefs put into their cuisine. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I will say the sushi was exquisite, my experience with the service left something to be desired. It felt like the staff was overwhelmed during the dinner rush and didn’t have enough time to attend to us properly. Fortunately, the food made up for it as every roll was delicious and beautifully presented. I hope to have a better service experience next time because the food definitely deserves it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have visited Shokunin a few times, and while I enjoy the food, I find the service can be hit or miss. On my last visit, we had to wait quite a while before someone came to take our order. Once we did place our order, the food came out relatively quickly. I particularly enjoyed their specials of the day. It has potential, but I hope they streamline their service in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" It really is hard to find a place that serves authentic Japanese food in Lincoln, but Shokunin does not disappoint. The sushi was incredibly fresh and the chef makes a point to bring in traditional recipes from Japan. The service was lovely though ever so slightly inattentive. Overall, a great dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting, and I was pleasantly surprised! The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. Our waitress was courteous, but we did have to wait a bit longer than expected for our main meal to come out. Overall, this place has a really good vibe, and I would happily recommend it.

" Great fresh sushi with a fusion of flavor that keeps you coming back! I loved their spicy rolls and the ambiance was also very nice. Friendly staff really adds to the experience. My only complaint was the prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality justifies it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Shokunin last week with a couple of friends, and I have to say it's quickly becoming one of my favorite sushi places in town. The freshness of the fish is impressive, truly some of the best I've experienced anywhere in the Midwest. I can't wait to go back and take my family there next time. It's a bit expensive, but the quality more than makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)
