    Appetizer 4 Scallop and eggplant
    Yuna C.

    Greta value for their regular omakase option at $95 per person - which includes 4 appetizers, 15 pieces of sushi, and a portion of ramen at the end. It's a beautiful interior with a balanced level of lighting (which is greatly appreciated). While every piece was delicious, the ramen was a standout - not too heavy and greasy as other ramens.

    Solid sushi! Got their dinner deluxe to go which came with a nice variety of fish. Quality was pretty good and fish to rice ratio was perfect.

    Sabrina H.

    This was really delicious. I highly recommend the eel hand rolls. We also got the shrimp tempura roll and crazy dragon roll. We were the only party seated outside but the servers were really attentive and would always come in and check on us. The decorations and layout of the restaurant inside was very modern.

    It's been a minute and Shumi continues to excel with their Omakase experience. From the quality of the fish, chef's skills, presentation and service, Shumi has found their groove. Our bi-yearly visits for their Omakase has been consistent. The venue is selection fresh premium fish, expertly prepared and presented. The flow of items follows our pace. Service is efficient and prompt. Decor is trendy with tunes playing in the background. I highly recommend Shumi for their Omakase!!

    Solid omakase and definitely a spot where you're going to get some bang for your buck (if you're having the lunch omakase here at least). My wife and I dropped in on a relatively normal Friday afternoon at 12 and, well, in reality, it was anything but a normal day for us because it was our wedding anniversary! We were definitely looking forward to an omakase-style meal because it had been a longgg, longggg time since we had one (or any meal without our kids being present for that matter). The restaurant serves 2 omakase meals, with one being more expensive than the other and, of course, since it was our anniversary we HAD to go all out. We chose the Shumi Omakase, which was actually a very reasonable $110 per person during lunch ($140 for dinner). It came with 5 appetizers and a ridiculous 21 pieces of sushi!!! Rarely are there that many pieces of sushi served during an omakase because you'll be there for 2+ hours, so we absolutely made sure we arrived verrrrrry, verrrry hungry. When we arrived for our reservation (which was not really needed since the restaurant was pretty quiet), we were seated immediately. The waiter who greeted us did not even check for our reservation and was going to sit us at a regular table, but, in my reservation request I had asked to be seated at the bar, which he obliged after we asked if we could sit there instead. The omakase experience here, at least during lunch, was a bit unusual according to our past omakase experience. If anything, I'm not even sure if you can even call it an omakase? There was no interaction at all between customers and the chefs and, unlike typical, popular omakase restaurants, the sushi was brought out 5, 6 pieces at a time on a plate instead of being served the usual 1 at a time by the chefs. Don't get me wrong, all of the omakase sushi was amazingly delicious and so were the tasty appetizers, but there was no feeling of it being an intimate experience. No special attention for sitting at the bar. To be honest, other than seeing the chefs making the sushi for many different orders up close, we might as well have sat at a regular table because none of them paid any attention to us. Overall, we still enjoyed our time here and, like I said, all of the sushi was really fresh and tasty. Each piece of sushi was dressed and set up beautifully, but they were all a bit on the small-ish side and could have used a bit more size. The waiters that served us our sushi all did a great job of explaining what we were eating too. Traffic throughout our 1 hour there was moderate as lunch goers came and went. Reservations definitely were not needed for lunch. At the end, we saw some room for improvement, but our stomachs definitely left pretty happy still.

    Fatty Tuna Crispy Rice appetizer
    Hannah C.

    My partner and I have been coming here for a few years now, since discovering it in late 2020. Since then, we've had wonderful experiences and enjoyed Shumi's excellent service, quality, and ambience. This recent visit was no exception, but I did notice a change in menu and I believe certain chefs. Busing is super quick, keeping your table clean and uncluttered. But they will not rush you out!! It's BYO so we brought sake this time and enjoyed it for a bit after finishing our meal. I feel like with the change in menu the quality is starting to slip a bit. Certain rolls that I have always loved are no longer my favorite in favor of others on the menu. This time we tried and loved the fatty tuna crispy rice! For rolls we shared the Ridgewood, Shumi, and Seard Salmon Yellowtail rolls. I noticed the last of these no longer has both fish on each roll and is split half and half. For the price, I still think it's worth it.

    Agedashi tofu
    Angela K.

    I come to Shumi pretty often - for both omakase and standard menu. Very solid fish and Japanese fare for a restaurant outside of NYC. For appetizers, their agedashi tofu is prepared so nicely. If you're not into the big sushi sets, I would recommend checking out the a la carte menu to just pick and choose the fish you like. No matter what I order, I'll also get two a la carte Otoro sushi or sashimi :) Lovely place to have date night or even to celebrate special occasions. Though you might want to skip out on their ramen. I've ordered the katsu tonkatsu ramen which is pretty good, but nothing to write home about. Service is always nice and attentive. Nothing bad to say about Shumi!

    Chefs preparing the food
    Alison C.

    My brother surprised me with a birthday dinner at the chef's counter at Shumi, which was truly enjoyable. The restaurant was beautiful, modern, and completely packed, which gave a great first impression. We decided to order the "Regular" Omakase, which was the more affordable ($110 vs $140) and shorter of their two chef-led options. We figured that we could always order some a la carte items if we wanted anything else. Our meal was to include 3 courses of appetizers and 14 pieces of the chef's selection of sushi pieces. The experience started with a mind-blowing soup that included what I believe was a cooked albacore tuna sushi roll. The maki had opened up, releasing its flavorful ingredients into the rich broth. It was so unusual, and we just adored it! Next up was a tofu stew with mushrooms, which could have used more fragrant mushrooms for a richer flavor. Surprisingly, the appetizer courses were separated by a platter of the first few pieces of sushi, including tuna, toro, o toro, salmon, and yellowtail. The fish was very fresh, but the pieces were a bit small. In regards to that plate, the dark pink tuna was our favorite. Then, the chef went back to the appetizers with a scallop tempura, which had a well-seasoned, crispy breading surrounding a perfectly cooked piece of shellfish. Next, it was back to the sushi with an array of different kinds of mackerel with little dollops of various sauces on them. A few pieces were fishier than others, but all were tasty. The final round of sushi included an egg patty, monkfish liver with scallop, monkfish liver with spicy squid, another monkfish liver pair I cannot recall, and a piece of eel. These were clearly the more unusual bites, which was totally fine, but they could have included more variety. At this point, we thought we were done with our meal, but we received a full-sized bowl of vegetable ramen, which was just OK. The noodles were harder than al dente and the included corn kernels were crunchy. I assumed that they had not been steeped enough in the broth, which was also not overly flavorful. It was an interesting end to the experience, which was presented a bit too quickly by the stoic staff. The chef had not said one word to us, and the waitstaff presented each plate uniformly and without much other interaction. Was Shumi's omakase adventure the best I had ever had...no, but it was definitely full of fresh ingredients, creativity, and elegance.

    Chirashi sashimi over rice... sweet satisfaction!
    Cindy Y.

    Love this trendy and modern Japanese restaurant in Ridgewood. The food is always great and service is quick, fresh sushi and sashimi. The Chirashi is my favorite.

    Salad and soup
    Ellen H.

    Guys, I was super impressed with the amount and quality of sushi here. Placed in a town-like neighborhood that has a great walkability score, the food hit the spot. When we walked in, the space was half full and they sat us at the sushi bar. It was pretty cool to be able to sit up close and watch the chefs as they plated their sushi masterpieces. We ordered several different dishes but I didn't have a chance to take a pic of those - they were SO yummy that we dove in. I think most of us know what that feels like. :) The sushi and sashimi deluxe was A LOT and the additional Salmon Poke Tartare and Chefs Special Bluefin Otoro Roll was **chefs kiss**. Although the Otoro roll was EXTREMELY delicious and refreshing, a couple of us favored the salmon poke tartare because of the savory flavor. Highly recommend trying both at least once though! I would have preferred some more tea options but that's ok. The food more than compensated for the lack of beverages. The service was half and half. One of the servers seem to be in a rush to clear our plates the moment we had put our utensils down, which, perhaps I'm too unrefined but I could use a couple of minutes before someone reaches over my shoulder to grab my plate. But the water was kept full by another server and we enjoyed all of our dishes as well as the ambience. 9/10 would recommend and definitely want to try again with different servers. A great weekend place with friends and family too!

    It's too bad, I used to really like this spot- but our last experience with management and staff was really chaotic, and frankly a little embarrassing It was my parents' anniversary so we made a reservation for us and their friends pretty early on. We got a call that there would be a time limit of 1 hr and 45 mins.. which is plenty of time and we were okay with it. When we showed up, the host and the waiter kept reminding and rushing us! We finished in like 45 mins with an hour to spare but everyone was hovering over us like hawks. Later on, there was a moment when it was clear everyone had ordered a separate dish and one waiter combined two of the Shumi rolls. It was so baffling, but the waiter did do a good job of going back and handling that. Also a heads up- most of the waiters and hosts are these young kids that don't really look like they know what they're doing haha. On the other hand, I liked my sushi deluxe but as the other reviewers said - the nigiri sizes are noticeably small. I remember getting pretty hungry later on. Some fish were really good though - it seems like the better option to get instead of the omakase here.

Speaking of the food, let's get into it. Mango Avocado Roll: Refreshing and Delicious. This was a great appetizer to my poke bowl. Oasis Poke Bowl: This was deliciously refreshing as well, however it doesn't come with any sauce. I asked for a side of teriyaki which made everything better; elevated the entire bowl. Surf N Turf: I will order this moving forward as my go-to roll. The beef was cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with the salmon. This roll itself filled me up, I thought I was going to order something else but I was done after that. Salmon and Shrimp Teriyaki: My partner gets this each time and I am always so excited to throw my fork into his plate. The teriyaki sauce here is so tasty, I want to put it on everything! The salmon and shrimp are also cooked super well, no chewiness here. Great amount of crisp on the salmon, the way it slides onto the fork is beautiful to watch. Vegetable Gyoza: The star of the show!! Best appetizer they have truly. I was so sad when there was no more. But thankful to have been able to experience such a great starter. Sweet Potato Roll: (Not pictured) The roll was ok, I liked it but felt like it was missing something. Maybe I would have liked it if it was Korean sweet potatoes. I won't order again because the menu is so extensive I can't limit myself to something I thought was ok. (4/5) Overall, Shokudo is a fantastic place to eat. It's truly an experience. The music is amazing and not overbearing, the ambiance is beautiful and there's multiple conversation pieces. What I love about looking at the items in the restaurant is how they go from traditional to contemporary. The servers were the sweetest, they all were extremely hospitable. All I can say is, I'll be back and if you go... you may see me there.

    Your average, run of the mill Japanese/sushi restaurant…read more We came by on a hot Friday evening at around 6 PM and, unlike some of the more popular restaurants in Ridgewood, this restaurant was pretty much empty when we walked in. However, it did get pretty busy around 7 PM, but there were still available seats. For a restaurant in this area, it was pretty big with quite a few tables inside. The menu was very typical of any local neighborhood Japanese restaurant - Japanese soups and salads, appetizers, entrees like teriyaki dishes, noodles/udons, rice entrees and lots of different sushi and sushi rolls. Nothing on the menu will blow you away or be surprising, but it'll satisfy your Japanese food craving if that's what you're seeking. Our family ordered Edamame and Fried Gyoza to start and both were good. The Gyoza was actually better than I anticipated, arriving at our table hot and crispy. For entrees, we ordered our kids the Salmon Teriyaki, which was solid. There was a lot of teriyaki sauce on the salmon and the salmon was not overly cooked or dry, so that was a plus. I ordered 3 regular sushi rolls - Spicy Crab, Spicy Yellowtail and Spicy Salmon - and all were good and pretty much what I expected. My wife ordered the Sushi Regular, which came with 8 pieces of sushi and a California Roll. Once again, all good. Nothing that was off about any of it. We also ordered a Nabeyaki Udon, but I didn't get to try any of it, however, our kids ate a lot of it, which was a good sign that it was good. Like I said, there was nothing that was bad here and everything was good, but nothing is spectacular either.
