    Firstly, they were so accommodating as I didn’t realize that I was 30 minutes late to our reservation 🤓. But they just went ahead and sat us without giving us any fuss. The food was amazing and made for such a fun meal! The ambiance only adds to how cool this place is. Highly recommend.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 — A Truly Exceptional Omakase Experience Sho Omakase delivered one of the most memorable dining experiences my fiancé and I have ever had. The food was amazing, the ambience was stunning, and the plating was absolutely immaculate — every dish looked like art. The cocktails were delicious and elevated the experience even further. I’ve been to many omakases, and Sho stands out as one of the most innovative. It’s not your traditional omakase, yet it honors the best parts of the classic experience while introducing unexpected combinations that create a delightful element of surprise. Every bite felt intentional, creative, and incredibly tasty. The service was exceptionally courteous and attentive, making the evening truly special for my fiancé and me. I couldn’t stop raving about it afterward. Would absolutely come again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable omakase.

    It was our first time here and we’ll definitely be coming back. We ordered a steak and salmon, sweet potatoes and rosemary fries, plus a crab cake and it was all phenomenal! Each dish was full of flavor and carefully crafted. Our waiter, Chad, was very knowledgeable with the menu, and provided excellent service. It was a pleasant experience overall ✨
