The food was the breadwinner. We waited about 30 mins for our order and had our spicy edamame and wasabi and ginger to go thru the wait time . After getting our meal we had to pay and rushed to the cinema, because we were going to watch the Mortal Kombat 2 movie in theaters read more

Came here for a sunday dinner and left disappointed. Two of our forks were dirty and when we asked for a new one, the waitress looked annoyed. For an establishment that makes you pay and tip before you even get to see how the service is, I expected the service to be better. No one checked on us, gave us the tray for our wasabi/soy sauce or refilled our waters. I wanted to order something to go but the wait time for to go orders was 40 minutes. Will not be returning. Domo's is in the same plaza and we'll be going there instead. read more

My family and I were looking for a quick lunch spot and decided on Japanese food at Shomi. The service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere was casual and clean. The food was OK. My dad wished there were larger slices of pork in his stir fry. My mom's tempura was not crispy. My grandma said the udon was satisfying her hankering for noodle soup. I really enjoyed my katsu curry. It was crispy and the curry was flavorful. Would highly recommend. read more

We went on the Friday before Mother's Day weekend and were seated at the sushi bar after a 10- 15 min wait. When the waiter took our drink order, he said that it could be a long wait for food because they're really busy. What a huge turn off! So after at least a 30 min wait parts of our order arrive. Their sushi has really gone downhill! It was so loosely wrapped that it would fall apart. When the final one arrived, another waitress brought it out. A scallop garnish fell off and all she could say was "oh no!" She looked like she wanted to laugh but held it in. No compensation for this at all. I later hear her saying to the other staff "so sorry table 9." DID SHE DROP THEIR FOOD TOO?! I'd rather buy sushi from Raleys read more

Located at the Lincoln Center is this cute Japanese restaurant. You place the order and pay first and then you find your seat. I always order the chicken teriyaki bowl. It's cooked to perfection with mushrooms, squash, and carrots. I also got the shrimp tempura roll. The pieces are quite large, good for two bites each. The people are always friendly and helpful. It's a must stop for a casual meal. read more

I used to love coming here but customer service etiquette is always hit and miss. I ordered a Ebi Hand Roll for pick-up on January 2nd which tasted amazing and presented beautifully. I ordered pick up for the same item January 25th at 2pm and when I got home at 2:15pm I I was extremely disappointed to open my food. It doesnt seem like there is consistency with food either. Made me upset to spend money here. I understand weekends can be busy but your lack of caring shows through your work. Pictured first is January 25th and second photo is January 2nd. read more

we have since gone back to try their sushi and yum!!! it's so good and def their specialty previous review: we had been looking forward to trying this place for a while and were so disappointed to be honest. the edamame was good and sauce was yummy, but i've had better spicy edamame. this edamame wasn't actually spicy either. the ramen was very bland and mostly flavorless even after adding the black garlic oil (which was $1 extra on top of the $2 extra for tonkotsu ramen). the ramen portion was pretty big though. overall, this place wasn't bad, but we just weren't very impressed. this place is definitely known more so for their sushi so might be worth trying again. read more

My family and I tried ShoMi on a Saturday afternoon. We were in the mood for sushi and found a few choices on Yelp to try. While the reviews were mixed, we decided on ShoMi since it's been around for 20 years and located at the convenient Lincoln Shopping Center (which has plenty of available parking). Upon entering the restaurant, we stood at the front counter and watched several people go back and forth (putting orders to go, answering phones, and whatnot) but it took several minutes before anyone stopped to greet us. They informed us that we can order at that front counter or via phone app if we wanted to seat ourselves. We thought that was off-putting for a sit-down restaurant yet we didn't turn back. We found ourselves a seat and proceeded to go through their menu via our cell phones. The item that I wanted to order online kept prompting me to answer questions that didn't apply to the item (tempura). After trying several times, I gave up and ended up getting up to place our order at the front counter. By the time we sat back down, a waitress finally came by to bring us water. I showed her how messed up their online page was and she apologized but didn't seem interested in informing anyone at the restaurant to fix the problem. The sad thing about our experience is that waitress was the best thing about our visit. She was friendly and checked up on us throughout our meal. Besides the tempura, we also ordered udon noodles and fried squid. All of which were fairly flavorless. And, the thick coating on the tempura and squid made the dishes taste extra greasy. read more

Excited to try this new limited menu sushi combo bowls. You can choose from tuna or salmon set my coworkers ordered salmon and I wanted to try the tuna. The staff were very nice and gave us all the condiments we needed from Ponzu sauce to spicy mayo and siracha. Although everything tasted well my co worker noticed a hair in my tuna nigiri thankfully it was the last one I didn't eat but was the first on my nigiri which looked amazing so I saved it for last in this case. Saving the best for last was the best thing I could do not for flavor wise but because she saved me from eating the one that had hair. They did comp my meal for me but because I couldn't see it I could've missed it. The staff did go above and beyond but respectfully I wished there was never hair on my food only because I felt sick thinking about how many more hairs was on my food. Inspection of the food should be done or hairnets when food is being prepared should be priority in this establishment or any food places. Feeling indifferent!!!! 2 stars due to it but 5 stars to The staff!!! read more

+ Tons of parking in the plaza You order at the front and they bring your food out. Tons of tables inside to sit. You choose your own table. Service was ok. You have to ask for every single little thing like plates, forks, water, wasabi, etc. The rolls all came out pretty quick. Rolls were all decent. Nothing too special or crazy. They forgot our rice plates and we were almost all done eating by the time we asked for the chicken one. We had to ask them to box it up and even then they were hesitant. read more

This restaurant use to be my go to budget sushi spot but I think it has gone through some changes with new management. You pay for the food first and they ask for a tip before any service is provided... The wait staff is poorly trained and the seating is horrible as well, They have alot of things they need to work out before I come back here. Best bet is to get the food to go and stick to the basics. read more

College town eats. Decent Japanese sushi but nothing exciting. I can see why my child and her college friends love this place. Service was interesting. You walk in and it looks like a place where they seat you and order but it's not. You order at the counter then you look for an open table. My family and I sat down after we ordered. We waited a while then someone walked up to us to see if we've been helped. Yes we have. Then a few minutes later she asked for our receipt because they didn't know what our order was. Weird system. Food arrived promptly after they figured out our order. Agedashi Tofu - good Salmon Skin hand roll - It was wrapped loosely. Salmon skin was super crunchy. Not sure if they make it there or if it's packaged salmon skin. It was okay. Hamachi appetizer - this wasn't on the menu. I ordered Sashimi Choice and asked for all hamachi. Sashimi was sliced thinner than what I'm used to. Decent. Seafood Bento Box - not the most exciting bento. The piece of saba was small. The shrimp tempura was mediocre. Overall, my son could've eaten 2 of these. Tonkatsu Bento Box - okay. Tonkatsu Donburi - looked okay. My college child loved it. (I forgot to take a picture.) read more

A Stockton must! Definitely a staple to try in the Central Valley. It's been there since the 80's | belive and honestly it's the best in town. It is quite small but during the week is probably the best time to go since it's not too crowded. All of their rolls are delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The owner is usually walking around and he's such a kind person. This last time I went they messed up my order and I told the server and she said she would ask so the owner came and said he would get me a new one free of charge and to keep the current roll which was nice. Mama Mia roll is my fav and the teriyaki chicken bowl. Their drinks are also good although it's a small variety. They have weekly specials that change constantly but I would call beforehand to check. Bring your family and friends to their new favorite sushi spot! read more

Extremely overpriced. The specialty rolls are imitation crab with barely any fish and are nearly $30. The California rolls are supposed to come with avocado and the avocado portion is so small you can barely see it. Everything falls apart before you can even pick it up. The location is good but since the prices have gone up it's not worth it anymore. Always a very long wait time for pick-ups (orders never ready at the time they give you). read more

My nephew chooses ShoMi for his birthday dinner quite often. We've been eating here since I was a kid and it's an enjoyable quick Japanese spot. I tried the Mama Mia roll this time.

We went in last night for a dinner and things started off well. After waiting an hour for our food and having people who just got seated receive their food I had realized that we had been missed. Although we are understanding of the wait time, as it was a busy day, we were even more disappointed at the quality of the sushi. Small low quality fish with an over abundance on rice. The staff were pleasant and tried to be accommodating for our wait time with miso soup. This was my first time at this place and now it will unfortunately be my last. read more

Ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box with a salad and a California roll side. Added a bottle of 7-Up. $27. I received the order with rice and not salad with a deep friend shrimp and some veggies. I was explicit with the order and the cashier/waitress read it back to me. I suspect the kitchen didn't get the order correct. Disappointed for the amount of money. Won't come back. read more

Came by here on Tuesday on Valentine's Day with a friend. We ordered the chicken karaage, Korean BBQ Pork, and chicken teriyaki bento box. I can't say I'm that much of a fan of the method that they use (going up to the cashier, ordering, paying first, then being seated). First of all, what if we want to tip more or less to the waiter later on? Second of all, the tips start at 20% and go up from there. The food isn't what I'd call cheap, so they should pay their workers more instead of try to get their patrons to tip 30%. The food quality was okay. Not what I'd call stellar, since I've had really good Japanese food. The chicken karaage was a bit thinly fried/not super crispy, but the seasoning was good. The Korean BBQ Pork was pretty good, but the onions were barely cooked on the sizzling plate by the end of the meal. The chicken teriyaki bento box was pretty good for the price- meats, white rice, edamame, a salad, and an orange slice. I'm interested in trying more dishes at this location, since I see that they specialize in certain specialty sushi rolls. read more

Last week on Friday we decided to stop by and have lunch since we were in the area. The concept here is different. You place your order up front first and then you pick any open seating. My initial thought was how do they know who ordered what and how do we know when our food is ready. They don't give you a number to put on the table or a device letting you know your food is ready. My boyfriend ordered the beef teriyaki and I ordered the salmon teriyaki box. Both dishes tasted good. Overall, we enjoyed the food we ordered and service is good. read more

I think ShoMi has a new owner because the food is good again! The fish is super fresh, staff is friendly and prices are reasonable for sushi. Kitchen food looks good too although I didn't have any.

This place used to be The BOMB in Stockton 1-2 decades ago! Boy, do I remember each day and all day (particularly the weekends), would have to wait at least 45 minutes to an hour before your turn to get in the door to order food, then get seated! Always was a long line along its perimeter outside (even before business hours). Staffs were friendly and very affordable Japanese food! Loved it!!! Now, am not sure what happen?! No longer need to wait long lines, but price has sky-rocketed and less items on some dishes. For instance, my regular order (Seafood Udon) is now missing some seaweed and that pink/purplish fish cake slices it used to have, while price has gone up. Maybe I wouldn't mind the high prices if items there before were not missing or taken out. Oh well, c'est la vie, things change as the world turns! read more

I wanted to share a great time dining in with my family. My kids and I love sushi. It was our first time here and unfortunately the experience was uncomfortable. I seen a sign stating we can seat ourselves and order from the table so that was what I did. My communication with the sushi chefs was wonderful they tried their best to bring a server to our table. We waited awhile for some service. Nobody came. We seen two other family seated theirselves, and a server came and brought them water. I was hoping she noticed my family of 9 needed service and water but unfortunately we were ignored. I went to the register confused about how to order food or what do we do? It's our first time eating here. I was not aware I had to order at the register first before receiving our food. So I order at the register and she handed me my receipt and my order receipt. (Paid a lil over $100 on their food) Confused I sat down and waited again, nobody came. So I just told my kids we are not going to be dining in, I will take the food to go. Wanted a refund, but I just didn't have the heart for it. I will not be going back. read more

Food was not good. Stomach hurt right after and could not finish it. Fish was NOT good.

Really great food! The system to order food works like a fast food restaurant (order and pay at the counter, then they will seat you and bring your food). So it's different and the line will get backed up since some people wait to look at the menu until it's their turn to order *eyeroll* However, the food is very worth it! We ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl and the portions were perfect and the veggies came out sautéed correctly. I forgot to take a photo but they had a specials menu for certain days of the week and it was a good deal. read more

Poor quality fish and sushi rice. Their sushi hi rice tasted like regular rice and the fish was very bland.

My go-to's are the Panko-fried Calamari Strips as an appetizer and the Top This Roll. This restaurant is not your typical sushi restaurant. Upon arrival, you get in line to order (as if you are ordering takeout). Once your is placed, they give you a number to place at your table. All the servers seem to tend to all the tables. It seems to work out ok but tables do tend to get forgotten once all your food comes out. This place is casual and is located in the Lincoln Center. The food is really good and this shopping center has plenty of great options for desserts to walk over to after a nice sushi dinner. Highly recommend. read more

Indeed busy for a Friday night! But we'll organized for dinning in or take out. They are allowing seating indoors, which was a pleasure to experience. It was a bit of a lengthy wait for our rolls , but was unexpectedly compensated by the owner with a free appetizer. The service through the whole dine in experience was nice. We had their peach mojitos. Didn't taste much like a cocktail, more like a seltzer peach flavored water. Was.a little on the expensive side (the I scream roll) but taste wise , well made. I've been here a few times when they had outdoor seating. An area close to home to enjoy when looking for sushi. read more

Sushi for lunch is always good! I live sushi and this place is little better than the average in Stockton. First off, prices have gone up as they have everywhere after covid so if you came here before but haven't been back since covid reopening of CA mid June, just know all rolls went up about $2 and smaller hand rolls about $1-1.50. When you first walk in you get in line to order then you pay at the register where you place your order. Next you take receipt to your table. You can not sit down until you have ordered and paid. Very different from when I came here about ten years ago. Not sure when it changed but my guess is since covid. With that in mind the service is great. Waitresses check in regularly for refills of beverages and to be certain you have received all of your food. You put your receipt on table and waitress checks it to see your order then goes and fetches it. We ordered several rolls and they came out two at a time. The spicy shrimp eel roll $13.45 was very filling and had lots of meat in it. Highly recommend this roll. Mama Mia was a lighter roll with lots of flavor but much less hearty and meaty. How ever you get 4 small fried bananas on the side which was the perfect dessert touch to the meal. Mana Mia cost $14.45 The top this roll was pricey at $19.95 and was good maybe little better than good but not quite great. Was a big roll though and pretty filling. We also got the Tiger roll $12.95 standard roll served most places and a solid choice that is always good. Lastly got the Shrimp tempura roll which was $9.95 and kind of falling apart and little difficult to eat but still yummy. $80 for five roll plus tip ... Check out the photos read more
