Hawaiian food soo good that I turned my peers into believers and regulars too. Everything is great. Has something for everyone. Try their garlic chicken or mochiko. Must try their spam!! Personal favorites are the spicy spam musubi, teriyaki chicken and the dino rib ;) Service is great, very family business warm vibes,but can get busy because of popularity. The best.

We've been to Shobu twice now, and it's quickly become one of our favorite Japanese restaurants…read more What I love most is the variety on the menu. Whether you're craving sushi, teriyaki, or ramen, they really have something for everyone. The sushi and sashimi are incredibly fresh -- honestly some of the freshest fish we've had at any sushi restaurant. It tastes like the chef went out and caught it that morning. The 14-piece sashimi platter with a couple of rolls was more than enough for two people, and everything was excellent quality. The ramen is also fantastic, but fair warning: the bowls are HUGE, so definitely come hungry. Their garlic edamame is absolutely addictive, and we really enjoyed the poke in the seaweed poke salad, though the dish does lean very heavily on the seaweed, so just keep that in mind before ordering. Cassidy is new to the restaurant and waited on us. an Shewas wonderful -- super friendly, attentive, patient, and just genuinely great service all around. The only downside was the new menu design. The font is extremely tiny, printed on a small laminated sheet, and honestly very difficult to read. Hopefully they make the text larger in the future because the food itself is outstanding. Overall, highly recommend Shobu if you're looking for fresh sushi, excellent sashimi, hearty ramen, and great service.

The only thing that it concerned me was that the sesame balls were too small. I have had these at another place and they are bigger than these. It kind of disappointed me. Maybe for the price was ok but I wouldn't mind paying a little bit more as long as they were bigger.

Our service wasn't good at all. We were seated shortly after walking in and the server took our…read moredrink order and brought drinks but it took a really long time to get our order taken. It took even longer to get our food. NOT ONCE did we get checked on after getting anything. Not even a refill for my husbands soda. And mind you, our server passed by our table so many times and his empty cup was by the end of the table in plain view as well. We ordered shrimp dumplings, pork and cabbage dumplings, spring rolls and spicy chicken. The spring rolls were small one one came burnt. No big deal. The chicken was tasty. The pork dumplings were good. I never got the shrimp dumplings. She brought the check and I told her we never got them and she asked if we got them and I had to motion to the table and tell her, no they never came. She took it off the bill. Overall I was pretty disappointed in the service more than anything. I really had high hopes for this place.

They had a huge bar, lounge area, and an open kitchen with a lot of staff members working. Both inside and outside was nice with dim lighting. Very modern interior design with their tables, chairs, house plants, and neon signs. The service was top notch. The person came by to serve us water noticed our table was pretty wobbly so he fixed it instantly. I thought that was great for them to notice the small details. They always came by to fill our waters 4-5 times. They also remembered we were celebrating an anniversary so they offered us complementary champagne. Our waitress Celeste was very excellent. She gave suggested me dishes that I couldn't decide. We ended up getting the chicken taquitos ($17), the pork chop ($36) and the prime sirloin ($36). Food was delicious and everything tasted so good. I like the roasted Brussels spouts flakes on the pork chop and even though the sirloin was medium it was still very tender. Even the one time our water cups were empty she noticed and apologized and came back to refill them. The chicken taquitos were very good as well. Bathroom is a little small with only three stalls and one sink but the staff was nice enough to direct me to them cuz they saw I was looking around. Overall is a very good experience. I can see why they're very busy and I hope to come back to try their other dishes!

Kimichi fries were delicious. Fries were fried perfectly and nicely seasoned. Ravioli was delicious; could have drank the sauce. Only problem was I got my dish very late. My husband and friend both were well into their dinners as I had gotten mine. One of the less appetizing was the chicken karage. Super breaded and soft. Husband had the ramen burger. Fun but difficult to eat. Would definitely go again, but now we know what to order.

Food ordered: Fire Chicken Combination Plate…read more Beef Yaki Udon Pickled Radish The fire chicken plate is always delicious. My siblings crave it at least once a month! I love the Yaki Udon and usually get it spicy. All their food is always made fresh to order and with lots of love. Service: The service is great! We are always immediately seated and offered drinks within the first few minutes upon entering. Throughout the meal, we weren't checked on. I wish they would put water pitchers on the table for the customers so we wouldn't have to always ask for a water refill. Unfortunately, there have been times where my family and I have gone but it's so busy and we never got refills for waters. Ambiance: Great, cozy, warm atmosphere. They have large flat screen tvs that usually play compilation videos on them. I wish they synced the tvs up to play kdramas or kpop on them instead. Every time I've gone, the tvs are usually turned off or playing funny/meme compilations from YouTube. I think many of their customers would enjoy a Korean show while eating Korean food! Maybe even play some mukbangs, as many young people nowadays enjoy watching those! My family and I are regulars, and we will always be back to support our favorite local Korean restaurant!

I got the Jjamppong and it was so good and flavorful! It was also very big for the price. It has the right amount of spice and plenty of delicious broth.

Everything came out so hot and I had to stop myself from burning my tastebuds by digging in immediately! The staff were very kind and helpful when I had questions about the menu. Our waitress was super attentive. Inside was nice and warm which was a great contrast to the cold, foggy weather outside. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit next time I visit Fresno!
