I am a recurring patron, enjoying Shokudo for the last 13 years. Service is always reliably good. The decor is light and upscale while still being casual; it invites a spectrum from date night, solo dining, family celebrations, and friendly groups. The food menu is a cross section of Asian fare from fresh sushi/sashimi and rolls, to Thai or Japanese noodle dishes, Chinese or Korean rice dishes, and variable carnivorous protein specialties prepared across the Asian continental delicacies. Appetizers of green salads, tasty soups, dumplings, and buns all start off well. The sake, wine, and liquor selections are vast. Happy hour specials offer opportunities to try new items and for price bargains. Located steps from the Design District, Shokudo is a survivor through the pandemic and is always at the top of my regional recommendations. read more

Everything was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING when we came in to dine at Shokudo. We came here because we found out it was family from Toni's Sushi in South Beach that opened the space and we were absolutely blown away. The pricing, the service and most importantly the food was all around amazing. Honestly, I've been to Japan and the takoyaki we had here was better than the takoyaki we had in Dotonbori, Osaka. Beyond that, the pricing is great and they feature different Asian cultures and fares on Wednesdays. How cool is that?! And they do a Temaki Tuesday special as well. Will definitely be coming back here soon. Also, Carlos x& Viviana were awesome servers & the sushi chefs Ramon & Diego were engaging and super nice too. read more

Carlos & Viviana were both amazing! Chef Ramon & Diego were the best behind the sushi counter!! Every dish we ordered was spot. We felt like we were back in Japan. The Happy Hour menu is one NOT TO MISS!! Everyone needs to know about this place, they're fantastic in everything that they're doing. The ambiance is incredible and they have the best music playlist playing from start to finish. I wish I could give this place 100 stars! read more

This is the third time I've been here. The last two times were a while back, but I remember enjoying them so I was excited to try this place again! Unfortunately I have mixed feelings on this third visit. First the positive....Location is great, inside of the restaurant is really pretty. Loved the look and ambiance. The server was very nice although the service was slow. The menu looked exciting; a good amount of items. Everyone in my party found something. Now for the not so great... the items all came out at random times. I know this is a new thing for restaurants to serve as items come out, but I don't love it. I ordered the ahi tuna poke for my app. Was very good. No complaints with this dish. Others for soups and were very happy. For my main course I had the Java steak. The steak was flavorful and cooked well. However the cilantro rice was not great, the fried onions were not seasoned and looked unappealing. There was a garnish of avocado and tomato but it didn't go well with the steak. The rest of my party had mixed reviews as well. Crab fried rice was not good, but sushi was great! I'm not sure I would come back unless I was just wanting sushi. A little disappointed. read more

I just found the best deal of the summer and it's a Shokudo with their lucky 13 menu. In honor of the 13th anniversary they are offering 13 exclusive menu items at $13 each and not ordering the whole menu will be the hardest thing you do. We started with their Nippon and Vietnam cocktail and all I'll say is that the Vietnam may be my favorite cocktail of the year. It's light, it has matcha and it's super sneaky because you barely feel the alcohol. We then got this sneaky Thai cold noodle salad, those noodles are addicting but warning it's spicy. Then we got the duck buns and all I'll say is I like duck buns and I cannot lie. The karage is the lightly juicy breaded chicken and that sauce is only for those who dare. For sushi rolls we tried The shrimp tempura roll, which was light and the crispy soft shell crab was so aromatic served with a yuzu miso emulsion. Then we tried the Thailand was berry packed with ginger beer. For those of us who may want to get a little turned up there's also some Lucky trouble with a kirin light and a well shot. Now you're guaranteed to get lucky. The two must get dishes are this amazing drunken noodles had me drunk in love, that drunken sauce on those noodles is heaven. But the green curry. Wow. Just wow. The moment it hit the table and I smelled the aromatics, I knew I was in love. Love at first smell? We wrapped up with a Hong Kong bubble waffle, Shokudo needs to be on your summer rotation, take advantage of this special read more

This place is in a quiet part of Design District, but it's on a main street and impossible to miss. I stumbled upon this spot on a rainy day and it was honestly one of the best Thai/Japanese meals I've had in a really really long time. The service was great, everything was efficient and the food came out fairly quickly. I was craving Ramen as well as some fried rice with red curry and wowww. 10/10 on ALL the food. The ramen, out of the world!! The flavor was amazing, the broth, the ground chicken, delicious. And the red curry with the fried rice was also perfect. Fulfilled all my cravings. The sushi was a little plain, but I had picked a very simple tuna sushi, so that's on me. Other than that, It was soul comforting food. I can't wait to come back and try some different sushi and the other ramens. read more

This was the NASTIEST sushi spot I have EVER been to. I literally wasted the money I spent. HORRIBLE SERVICE. The waitress didn't want to wait on me, gave me NO recommendations and when I asked her about a specific roll she said "it's really good" and it proceeded to be the NASTIEST ROLL IVE EVER EATEN. Whomever gave this place good reviews doesn't know good sushi. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER come back here. The potstickers tasted like cardboard the lobster roll had LETTUCE in it. I completely missed that on the menu. Wow this place was terrible. It's so wild how black patrons get treated at restaurants. Miami's food scene is as fake as the BBL's that you see walking around every day. This place was seriously TERRIBLE and I walk past it every day and it's always got people in there. I took 2 bites of the lobster roll and spat it out it was so terrible. Stop seeing a black person come in there and immediately think they're not going to tip. I tip INSANELY WELL if the service is good because I know they don't get paid anything. Anywho nope NEVER AGAIN. Y'all lied to me in the reviews and feel yall should pay me back anyways 2 thumbs down don't eat here. read more

Decent happy hour but not really much of a value. We had a large group and just ordered a bunch of items. Had a bite or two of a lot of different items and they were mostly pretty tasty. Just not that cheap per dish. The restaurant was pretty empty for most of the evening so that was kind of a red flag but we had a good time. Chocold Fashioned: Skip It wasn't bad but it's not really a combination that is worth having. It's a more funky and decadent old fashioned from the chocolate and coffee but nothing that actually improves the drink. Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Value: 5/10 read more

Good sushi place! The servers are always nice, haven't had a bad experience. But the reason I like this place is because they have simple sushi. I have been on a hunt to find a classic sushi restaurant in Miami, one that isn't over the top with unnecessary truffle oil or deep fried with cream cheese. So I was very happy when I came here the first time and was able to order a sushi sashimi platter. The fish was tasty and again, I appreciate their simpler options. They also have a lot of cooked items that are also good. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day and the food was so so good, we end up ordering it regularly in our favorite takeout rotation. I absolutely love their orange chicken. One of the best I've had. The sauce is so light yet packed with tangy flavor. The chicken is perfectly crunchy with generous full chunks of white meat. The chicken to breading ratio is perfect. Have yet to find a place I like more for orange chicken. Also a must is the goyzas. The service was great and the atmosphere was lovely for our date. Saw many couples there. read more

I tried Shokudo happy hour this week and really enjoyed it. Hey offer a variety of rolls, bites, cocktails wine & beer. My friend and I tried the spicy marg and enjoyed how refreshing it was! We ordered spicy tuna roll, salmon roll, jalapeño popper roll, shishito peppers.. all were delicious, we did shed some tears with the jalapeño pepper roll, so beware! The service was a little slow, but regardless we had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon. The cocktails look interesting and would like to try out other ones. read more

Delicious and great to meet up with friends. I really love their pad Thai and the peppers

The staple in the area for good Asian fusions. The service was great always so attentive and eager to please. I always get the orange chicken, which is absolutely delicious. The fried rice is really good. Tuna rolls are delicious and fresh. You can't really go wrong here with a group of people that are picky because they have a little something for everyone . from Salad , to rolls to dumplings.. the ambient is super cozy and welcoming. There is a small bar in the back kind of hidden and serving amazing drinks and mixologist. Highly recommend! read more

Cute little dinner place. Service was great. Our server knew his stuff and I liked his suggestions.

I love the quieter location of Shokudo as well as its intimate outdoor seating area - especially on a cooler Miami night. The ambience on our corner booth was nice enough, and in all honesty I was a bit engrossed in conversations with friends to really soak up the rest. Somehow the fake candle stood out as weird to me tonight. Generally, I'm not a fan of these despite understanding they're safer. Food was good. I particularly enjoyed the Shokudo roll (truffle eel? Yes pls) and the crispy tuna appetizer. I also thought the curry was quite nice as well as hearty portioned. An unexpected surprise was the flavor of the eggplant starter a friend ordered as well. I really didn't have too many gripes on the food. I also hear the happy hour is where this place shines (we came later for dinner). Now for the challenging part this visit: Minus two stars for the bathroom and kitchen cleanliness right off the bat. The bathrooms were disgusting. "Liquids" all over the floor for one working coed bathroom. No toilet paper. I was joking with a guy friend the bushes might be a safer bet, while my gal friends didn't even want to go in. The girl who came out of the bathroom before me had a look of horror on her face. I felt bad. I think there was another bathroom, but it was out of service. The visible parts of the kitchen didn't look much better. As I was mid meal, I didn't try to over analyze this to psych myself out further. The waiter was perfectly friendly, but he barely came around. We had to flag him down for a water refill and some extra napkins. On the plus side he did bring us new plates for a course unprompted and swapped out a wrong dish in error without much fuss. On a negative there was a missed dish that didn't come out and closed the conversation on putting it in once more as the kitchen was closed. It would have been nice to have gotten a kitchen closing warning, which we did not get. When we originally ordered they were also out of Shishito peppers. They have a free parking lot in the back. A nice perk which came in handy tonight and seemingly overlooked by the other patrons, since we only noticed one other car in the lot. At the end of the meal, they did not fret to split the check three ways. Friends commented that they were surprised the affordability of the meal. We didn't order any added specialty drinks tonight. If we could do half stars, I'd say this was a 2.5... hard call whether to out a 2 or a three. If I had to be dead honest this was a two star visit. If friends invited me again, I'd surely give it a second shot with the intent to prepare my bladder accordingly and in hopes the kitchen and bathroom cleanliness was off as a rare oddity tonight :/ Management: you have some good dishes and a decent concept here, but the cleanliness needs a lot of work! read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME COMING HERE!!!!!!!!!! 2nd review of the night: OMG!!! Yoko the owner is the worst!!!!! That lady was literally screaming at us and saying that it is not her fault that the food on her restaurant takes so long to come out. She has no manners at all !!!!!! She was uneducated, rude, vulgar, inappropriate, and specially disrespectful!!!! We were waiting for 1 H and 20 min to get the appetizers, we got only 2, they forgot about the 3rd one. It took them around 20 more minutes to bring it. We could not take this much longer and we asked for the check to leave and there came Yoko, Screaming at us, literally screaming !!!!! Apparently her restaurant at full capacity can't function LOL. It is a shame because the food here is good, but apparently if they have more than 1 table (It was only us last time we were there) they don't function wells, the service it is horrible, and owner OMG THE OWNER. Her costumers skills are the worst I have ever experience in my whole live..... I repeat!!!!! DO KOT COME here!!!!!! 1st review of the evening: I loved this place last time I was here. Today. We have been seating for almost 1H and we haven't get anything from our order yet :-( The waiter when he was taking out order he walked away without talking my husbands order , we had to call him back because he walked very fast and we almost couldn't reach him..... the two stars are because the food here is good and I know. Otherwise I will give them 0 stars read more

I try to stay away from leaving bad reviews, as I'd rather say nothing than negative things... unfortunately, Shokudo disappointed, big time. I'd start off by saying the place is very cute, cosy, even romantic. I was a little surprised to see that such a highly rated place on Yelp was almost completely empty on a Thursday evening. The service was also great: both the hostess and the server were attentive and prompt. 5 stars for that. The food was probably the worst Japanese (or A La Japanese) I have ever had. We ordered the following (and I will rate food from bad to worst): Salmon tartare - tasted just ok, but presentation was awful, looked like someone threw up salmon and made a ball out of it. Spicy salmon roll - how can you mess it up?? It's a safe bet in any Japanese restaurant. The rice was over-seasoned with rice vinegar, to the point it tasted sour. Ume shiso roll - this one wins the worst roll ever award. I mean it was hard to eat, really. There was an overwhelming sour taste, to which the server replied "its meant to be sour, it's Japanese plum". Interesting, but why would you put plum in a roll? My bud tastes are very promiscuous, but this was just impossible to eat. We left the place hungry and went next door to finish our dinner. Perhaps, their cooked entrees are better but we were not willing to take a chance, when 3 out of 3 items we ordered were awful. read more

Well, count me surprised! I'd never been nor heard of this place before - even though I've somehow been driving past it for years! Translated from Japanese as "the path to good food," Shokudo specializes in providing a broad range of comfort food favorites from across the Orient such as Sushi, Ramen, Kalbi, Pho, an array of other cross-cultural dishes and popular Asian street fare including buns and dumplings. Plant based Asian food lovers rejoice because they have a whole lot of options. On Mondays, they even have a special prices menu. The flavors were delicious! Be warned though, the time listed online for their close times have shifted I think. Both times I've been they sorta rushed us because they wanted to close (I arrived around 9:30 both times). Awkward! I'm not here to inconvenience anyone. Just eat delicious food and leave behind $$$ for the servers. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, but this little gem is so cute. The ambiance inside is so chill and the set up is so nice. To begin we ordered a few starters veggie spring rolls, veggie dumpling, and the amazing Char Siu pork buns. The pork buns were our favorite so much we ordered them again. For food we got a few options, 1. Shokudo Roll: Such a great mix of shrimp and spicy tuna 2. Shio Ramen: great taste and amazing toppings 3. Beef Pho: the broth was great and the beef was tender and delicious 4. Branzino: this was a show stopper, when it came out the sizzling and smells were so delicious. The waiter was able to accommodate us and make this into a vegan option This spot is definitely really nice and the food was exquisite! read more

Being indecisive as usual, we decided to look for a restaurant to eat at after leaving the Frost Museum. Parking was a little funny, in attempting to find an open spot across the street or behind in the neighborhood where there isn't a "no parking" sign. After finding a spot, we made our way inside to the main entrance. There are a few tables here and you can see inside to the kitchen which kind of gives it that cozy Japanese feel. It also seems that there is a back room that may have more seating as well, since thats where the waiter went to get our drinks from. From the looks of it, they get a lot of take out business in the neighborhood, as I saw them prepping take out bags throughout the night. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful, and the music was on point when we got there, making it a fun night for us. When we checked in on Yelp, we got a Free Edamame and then we realized Happy Hour was in session, so we took advantage of that as well by ordering the: - Old Fashioned - Margarita - Ume Shiso Roll - Spicy Tuna Tartar - Popcorn Fish Off of the happy Hour menu, we ordered: - New York Spicy Tuna - BV Old Fashioned - Yuba Roll - Grilled Octopus - Spicy Scallop Roll - Vanilla Crepe Cake I don't usually like my octopus too charred, however one thing that was pretty unique was that it was served with a mashed sweet potato, that made it a pretty cool and tasty dish. All in all, everything was A-OK. If you happen to be in the area, it's not a bad choice to check out. read more

I always have low expectations going out to eat in Miami. I expect well presented food with average flavor and a high bill. Not this time ! Food was incredible, price was very fair and atmosphere was great. 10/10. I'll be back. I was very impressed with the sushi, the appetizers and the cocktails were fantastic. I worked in the restaurant business for 10 Years. I'm very picky and not easily impressed. This was a great choice and my go-to for Miami sushi moving forward read more

I wanted to like this place so much... but it's kind of terrible. Went in a group of 6 people, we all ordered different things. I went for the ramen, expecting it to be the absolute bomb. Well... it's not. Disappointing at best, worst I've ever had at worst. All toppings except for the meat were cold, the egg was just soft boiled and not marinated at all, the pork belly had the thickness of Canadian bacon. The broth was alright. Noodles were a little too thick and a little too al dente. The service was pretty odd as well: we were getting served appetizers while people at our table were getting their main courses. Then the order was reversed. Why? I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Our experience at Shokudo was amazing. We enjoy everything including drinks and service. The menu is very broad so there is something from every taste. For appetizers We ordered the octopus which was so tender and with lots of flavor and also the shrimp shumai, we are pretty sure they are made in house because the filling was just amazing. For the main we went with the Ramen, really the best we have had in Miami, full of flavor and the toppings just amazing, specially the pork and the fermented eggs. We also try the Shokudo Sushi Roll, which was very generous and made with super fresh ingredients. The place has a very nice patio and also a separate bar space to enjoy happy hour or a nice cozy date. We tried the Margarita (amazing) and also a very nice gin and tonic with a twist. We are definitely coming back for sure to try other dishes because everything looks so so good. read more
