" As a big fan of Japanese cuisine, I was eager to try Shokudou, but my experience was mixed. While the setting is lovely and the service is wonderful, I noticed some dishes didn’t match my expectations in terms of authenticity. The sushi was fresh, but it lacked the depth of flavor I typically seek. I might pay another visit for their skewers, which I believe may be their strong suit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adore Shokudou! Their charm lies in simplicity; each dish is thoughtfully prepared and allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through. The miso soup enhances all main dishes beautifully. I always find myself exploring the menu with delightful surprises every time. Staff is accommodating and friendly, making each visit special. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Based on the reviews I had read, I had high expectations for Shokudou. The service was quick and helpful, but I found the food to be lacking in excitement. Don't get me wrong—the fish was super fresh—but I felt some dishes missed the mark for me. Just okay, nothing to rave about except the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd visit again just for the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I think Shokudou is good but could use some improvement with their timing—they were a bit slow during peak hours. The food quality is there, and I did enjoy trying their various appetizers. I would particularly recommend their chicken karaage! I just wish they had more gluten-free options for friends who need them. Still, a nice experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sushi lovers rejoice! Shokudou offers a delightful selection of rolls and special dishes that are sure to impress. The service was impeccable, and we were seated quickly despite the busy hour. I loved their creative take on traditional dishes; however, the waiting time for food was a wee bit longer than expected. Still, it made for a wonderful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in the heart of Bernal Heights, Shokudou is the place to be! The ambiance is inviting and feels very much like being in a cozy izakaya. I particularly loved their sashimi, which was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. The only downside was the slightly high prices, but the quality matching the cost compensates for it. I highly recommend stopping by for a delightful meal! Can't wait to revisit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience. The staff was very welcoming, and the food was mostly excellent. We loved their hamachi rolls and agedashi tofu. Some dishes, like the grilled squid, could benefit from a little more seasoning, but overall, everything tasted fresh. The establishment also has a lovely ambiance, making it a great spot for friends or a romantic dinner. Will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
