A really enjoyable dinner at Shou Sumiyaki. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and were happy to explain the menu and offer guidance. Our food arrived promptly and was delicious, especially the wagyu from the charcoal grill. We never felt rushed, which made the evening even better. Thank you to the team for looking after us.

Tonight I dined here with my daughter, and overall it was a really lovely experience. At first, I was a little surprised by the size of the venue. I had imagined it would be bigger, but once we stepped inside, it turned out to be quite intimate. In the end, this was actually a positive. The smaller space meant the servers could focus on a few tables at a time without feeling rushed or intrusive. We’re usually the type who don’t need much assistance, as we’re familiar with how Korean and Japanese BBQ restaurants work, and the staff seemed to pick up on that straight away. The food portions were excellent — generous and just right for two very hungry people. We hadn’t had lunch that day, so by the time we arrived for our booking, we were absolutely starving. We ordered the Sakae En Premium Set For 2. Although the menu mentions it’s suitable for two to three people, I personally think it’s perfect for two. It’s very satisfying, and you can always add extra items afterward if needed. The drink selection was another highlight. There were plenty of non-alcoholic options, which suited us perfectly as we don’t usually drink much when dining out. The mocktail selection was especially impressive, with lots of choices to pick from. Finally, the service truly stood out. The staff were warm, friendly, and very attentive without being overbearing. They didn’t hover or constantly check in, but instead observed from a distance and stepped in only when needed. It was clear they could tell we were comfortable and knew what we were doing, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, a great dining experience with excellent food, thoughtful service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We’d happily return.

We arrived early and the staff were so accommodating and attentive, finding us a table in the sunshine for pre-dinner drinks. The food was delicious and well portioned. Highly recommend!

Lovely little Restaurant. Reminds me of of what Toyama was over a decade ago. Food was fresh, lovely and presented beautifully too. Good range of food, and everything we had was amazing. And if you aren't sure, get a bento box and get a bit of everything, and it is presented to beautifully. We will be back.

My friends and I eat here often. They have a good range of vegetarian options. The staff are very helpful. The food is fresh and well priced. The atmosphere can be a bit lively with families. But this adds to the restaurant s ambience. The tables are spread out well adding to your sense of privacy.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Shou Sumiyaki. The wagyu was beautifully marbled, tender and full of flavour, and grilling it over the charcoal at our table made the meal feel special. Everything arrived well presented, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. They explained the menu clearly and checked in at the right times without interrupting our meal. The restaurant had a warm, comfortable atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. It’s a great place to go with friends or for a special dinner. We left very happy and would definitely return for the wagyu and the overall experience.
