" Dining at Shokudou felt like a true escape to Japan. The open kitchen provided a great view of the chefs in action, and the decor really sets an authentic tone. I ordered the hamachi kama after hearing rave reviews and it did not disappoint—it was exceptionally flavorful! The agedashi tofu was also a highlight—a must-try! The service was impeccable; our server was knowledgeable about the menu and really attentive. I’ll definitely be making this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite impressed with Shokudou, although I felt that some dishes were a bit overpriced for what they offered. The grilled fish I had was perfectly cooked, but the portion size left me wanting more. The environment is very relaxed, which is great for a casual outing. They offer a variety of traditional dishes, and I enjoyed the yakitori skewers. Overall, I would recommend this place for families and groups! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at Shokudou but felt disappointed by a couple of dishes. The agedashi tofu was delicious, but the chicken karaage was not what I expected—way too greasy and lacking the crispiness I hoped for. The atmosphere is nice, great for a casual dinner, but I personally wouldn’t return just for the food alone. Friendly staff, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found Shokudou by chance while strolling around the neighborhood, and I’m glad I did! Their miso-glazed cod was outstanding and melted in my mouth. The staff was super friendly and gave me great recommendations about what to order. I found the ambience warm and inviting, perfect for a date night. I would highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a true Japanese treasure like Shokudou is rare. The yakitori is my favorite; it’s made to perfection! Each bite brings nostalgia and comfort. Although the prices may be higher than average, the tastes and quality justify that. The team is also very accommodating, ensuring all diners have a pleasant time! " (*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*)
