    Shosho's Loaded Fries

    Mr. Basem is amazing, it was our first time eating here and I have to say the food is great service is awesome and ambiance is nice. Highly recommend.

    Shosho fries

    Dropped off a package next door and saw this place and loved that the menu was plastered all over the windows and with big pictures. It looked appetizing and I wanted to be able to support more local restaurants. Came in on a Saturday night and it wasn't overly crowded but busy. While speaking to the staff, he mentioned that they have been open for only two weeks. Unfortunately we were told they were short staffed but I was thankful he was courteous of my time and was honest. I placed an order for a 4 pack which was 4 chicken strips, fries, coleslaw and texas toast, along with shosho fries which was fries, mac n cheese with chicken. Both orders were mild as far as "heat". The wait was a bit, but I didn't mind. We got our order and I swear to you the shosho fries felt like 3lbs. It was packed with so much goodness! Fries on the bottom, super cheesy mac n cheese and chunks of chicken. The cheesy goodness coated each fry, I do wish there were more chicken. That way I can get the perfect bite. This meal portion was huge! I honestly think it could feed four people. As for the 4 pack, it was delicious. The chicken was so moist. Flavorful. Not oily and was mostly chicken and not just bread/crust coating. The fries were cooked well. The coleslaw and toast were delicious. Only issue I had was that "mild" wasn't as "mild" as other places. Good flavor but no slight kick. Next time I'll order it up a notch or two. Friendly/honest staff. Fresh food made to order. Couldn't go wrong at this place! Try them out!

    I'm not sure about some of these low reviews because we were wildly impressed with this place. The chicken & fries were perfectly seasoned & were absolutely delicious. Service was very friendly. The place could use a bit more sprucing up as far as ambiance goes, but if that's what you're worried about then stay home. If you want good hot chicken, look no further than this place.

    8 Wing Pack Hot Buffalo Sauce

    Great service, and amazing wings at a great price! Definitely recommend. Owner is super nice and attentive. Will be coming back.

    Blank! No special today?

    Service was friendly. Seating inside is clean, but empty. Napkins and condiments are on the table. My wife sent me here to pick up dinner, so I ordered a Combo 3 and a Sandwich Special. My wife tasted Combo 3 and said, "I like this better than Raising Cane's!" I'm not a big chicken fan, but my sandwich was tasty. Pricey at $30, but they do take Apple Pay.

    Soooo good! Very nice owner who is passionate about his business and the community. Ordered the hot chicken sandwich combo, shosho fries, and tenders. It was a lot of food that made great leftovers. Spicy, delicious, and it's so nice to have a place like this in the city! This is a must-try. Support small businesses!

    My kids love coming here. We got the fully loaded fries. It has macaroni the chicken and fries with their special sauce. Oh my God these fries are amazing. You guys gotta order them. Plus we came to try out their hot wings and their new salad that they have on the menu love the atmosphere love the customer service.

    Dynamite Loaded Fries. WOW! Bring a friend, portions are huge.

    Incredibly fresh and full of flavor. My first time here and my expectations were exceeded. Great location, clean environment, and some of the friendliest staff I've experienced in quite some time.

    The food is delicious and flavorful. The service is top tier, very kind and welcoming environment. MUST try! My sister and I shared the two tender soho loaded fries and couldn't finish it we were soooooo full. Portion sizes are great.

    The saddest unbuttered Texas toast .  Tip: Texas toast is buttered then thrown on the grill
    Melissa A.

    Wow what is the deal with all these 5 star reviews! Seriously, are these Bots or what incentive are these people getting? I just have to be honest, the food is AWFUL. The first weird thing was how we were the only one in the place waiting for our food and it took oddly long. We got the 6 piece tender box with side of Mac and cheese and extra Texas Toast that you would think would be buttered . Who makes Texas toast with no butter? The tasteless watery Mac and Cheese had absolutely no flavor. The Chicken has a weird taste with a weird texture similar to imitation crab meat as if they inject the chickens with too many hormones and the chicken just ain't chicken anymore. It was a spicy Dry Rub of Strong Cumin and other Indian Seasoning Flavor . I like a bit of Cumin on certain food but not so extremely overpowering on everything . There was even Cumin on my daughter's chicken strips that were supposed to be plain with no seasoning at all. Even the fries had Cumin. It's almost like they couldn't help it , Cumin all over the cooking area so it was all over our food .

    Shosho's loaded fries. Has Mac n cheese on it. We got an extra tender.
    Celeste S.

    Got the Shosho's loaded fries. They were really good, and big enough to share. The staff was very attentive and nice, always checking on us. They had a lot of bottled drink options, very clean inside, felt really comfortable there. Will come back again fs.

    My party of 10 was very grateful to have gotten a reservation the day of for a birthday…read morecelebration. The hostess noted that reservations could be made at least three hours in advance. For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check. Overall, it's a great place for large groups and celebrations.

    Today, I visited this restaurant with a party of five and wanted to share my experience…read more Unfortunately, our first interaction set a negative tone for the visit. When we arrived, the hostess attempted to seat us at a table that would not have comfortably accommodated our group. I politely asked if we could be seated at a nearby table that had more space. In response, she rolled her eyes and let out an audible sigh, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. When we were eventually seated at the requested table, she placed the menus down abruptly and did not hand one to me directly, instead leaving it at the end of the table. The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and, frankly, not in line with the level of service I would expect from a hostess. That said, I want to note that the rest of our experience was positive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food itself was also very good (I would not recommend the orange chicken though) and something I would return for. I hope management takes the opportunity to address the front-of-house experience, as first impressions matter and can significantly impact a guest's overall perception. (She was white and had unique, colorful, round glasses)

Later on after reading the Sun newspaper I saw they were closed due to a roach infestation. The owner got very upset and reported me on Yelp and got my review taken down. I always do honest reviews on Yelp and I post on Google as well. The owner had the audacity to lie and say I was trying to extort him for money to remove my review. Ive never communicated with anyone and I would never ask anyone for anything. As im an honest Reviewer. I then put in my Google review that he needed to stop lying as that's defamation saying lies about me. He finally rewrote his response to my review but I have proof he did indeed say those lies about me. I can't believe or understand why an owner would be so unprofessional.
