About this business
Editorial fromYes, everyone is doing Pan-Asian and sushi these days---but Shoku does it better than most, cooking up truly original specials in addition to the Japanese-Thai-Chinese selections you would expect to find elsewhere. The decor makes striking…

Marginal at best – We had high expectations for Shoku and they failed to meet them. Started out with the tuna tataki (lightly seared tuna) and it was terrible. Chewy and a fishy taste. The miso soup, edamame and Dragon roll were actually all good, but nothing about any of those things screams sushi since it is almost all cooked. My only recommendation is that Haiku has much better food and atmosphere if you want sushi. I am still searching for a good spot in Columbus if anyone knows of one.
My girlfriend and I have wanted to try this place for awhile now. We always sit at the sushi bar when we go out for sushi, unfortunately we were sat next to the meanest old korean lady we have ever seen. She was so rude to the staff the entire time we were there. Our server actually apologized to us because we had to sit next to where she eats. She kept yelling at the servers for no apparent reason. As far as we could see she has no reason to be there, except to be mean to her staff. It wasnt just the servers either, she was... read more
So bad that I joined just to warn you all – My experience was so bad that I joined Citysearch as soon as I got home just to warn you guys of this place. First of all, they refused a gift certificate that we had but at least they were honest about it and told us before we ordered. Since this was my first time there, we decided to give them a try anyways - bad idea. I had a bad feeling about this place when they claim to be a Japanese restaurant yet mispelled Nabeyaki Udon as Nabuyaki Udon on the menu. It took them over 30 min... read more
Great Columbus spot for sushi! – If you like sushi and you live in Columbus, there's no reason not to go here. I'm loyal to Haiku, but went to Shoku with my husband and four friends Saturday night, and was very pleasantly surprised! I've read some bad reviews on here, and I just don't get it. We ordered 8 or 9 kinds of sushi, and all of it was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was much better than I thought it would be. The decor is lovely, and our waiter was absolutely wonderful. I will definitely go back.
Better than Haiku – I have been to Haiku and Shoku many many times. I have finally decided that Shoku is better. I have never had a bad meal at Shoku and the restaurant is clean! The service is dull and somewhat slow, but I have yet to come across anyone rude. The price is a little high for the amount of food you receive, but it is delicious. Overall good.
pay attention folks – I went into shoku three times to be fair before i critiqued the establishment. The food was always overcooked, the rice was yellow, and the freshness was extremely questionable. Two out of the three times i ate there, people were arguing at the top of there lungs. I paid $12 for a roll that consisted of two shrimp and mayonnaise w/ tempura flakes on top. I ordered a tofu dumpling soup twice in a row(1st and second visit) and it was a totally different dish each time. My guest ordered a salad that contai... read more
BYOB Sunday – I was prompted to write a review after I read the last couple - my experience at Shioku was great and I would return in a heartbeat. We just walked by on a sunday evening and decided to stop in. We were seated immediately on the patio, and the waitstaff was friendly. I was suprised to discover that they are BYOB on Sundays, and they recommended a great wine shop across the street. The sushi was excellant, can't wait to go enjoy another sunday evening there!
Terrible Service, Clueless Manager – My friends and I just ate at Shoku and the service was horrendous. Our waitress was very rude and treated us like we were interrupting her day. (I got better service at the movie theater concession stand later that night). When we asked for something, she barely answered us and walked away. I called the manager after we left, and she was as clueless as the waitress was rude! She also poured water down a customer's leg at the next table over--not only did she not apologize, she didn't even... read more
Horrible Service – 2nd time there- at a table for 45 minutes. No drinks, no edamame, no sushi - only 3 tables in the entire restaurant during lunch. Ridiculous. Don't waste your time - sushi wasn't that great, Kooma downtown has much better service, better sushi, and better prices!
