I love the vibe at this Izakaya. The menu variety is also quite expansive. The deep fried items were especially well-done. We ordered the Unagi Tempura from the seasonal menu, which was remarkably good!
A nice place to chill and enjoy your evening. There's a wide selection of Izakaya food options. From seasonal specials, sashimi, cooked food, yakitori, grilled items and many more. You can even order their fried burdock as a healthier snack too.
The food was good especially the cod! Quiet ambience and have the japanese vibes. Good for couples and also company dinner for food and drinks!
went in at 8+ but they have no more udon and garlic fried rice, so i tried the oden. it's a comfort bowl of hot soup with usual oden ingredients, just what i needed on that day. the soup also has a slightly sweet taste to it, and the radish and fishcakes were soft to chew. i also tried the pork jowl charshu, i liked how soft it is to chew and the gravy was also slightly sweet. lastly, tried the black pork collar. although it was on the tougher side, it's well seasoned. the other food on the menu looks good to be paired with drinks, even though i did not order any drinks that day.
The salmon donburi was tasty with nicely stacked salmon, though the portion felt a little small. The yakitori sticks were the real highlight—flavorful and pretty good value for money. The pork jowl leaned on the salty side, but that’s kind of expected at an izakaya since the food is meant to pair with drinks. I didn’t try the drinks this time but the menu looked interesting enough to warrant a return visit.
The place was buzzing, mostly with Japanese workers, which added to the authenticity—I honestly felt like I’d been transported straight to Japan for a bit.
Dropped by for dinner after work and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I tried the mentaiko rosti, black cod, and spicy salmon don. The rosti was so tasty, the mentaiko sauce paired perfectly with the crispy potato. My personal favorite was definitely the black cod - superb quality, generous portion, and very reasonably priced. Will be back for sure!
Good place to order many dishes to try, this fried chicken and the fried rice is a must order. The scallops are good too. Place is cozy and lively. Good for colleagues and friends to hang out after work.
Place was vibey nice for small drinks and talks. Nice ambience, with comfortable lighting. Menu is interesting with special and unique dishes not found elsewhere. Love the grilled pork collar and pork belly the most, was impressed by the first bite with the charred taste and aroma of the meat. Minced pork katsu and pork jowl were nice too. Like combination of the pork jowl with the runny egg. Staff were friendly and provided recommendations, they were also prompt to respond to requests. Overall a satisfactory experience.
Met my friend for dinner at Shukuu Izakaya for some skewers after work, and it was a fun experience! It was our first time visiting an Izakaya and we were spoilt for choices. We ordered a few of the skewers - the beef wagyu was really tender and nice, while the pork belly and pork collar were soooo flavourful. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good the pork was. The minced pork katsu was yummy too, served piping hot and packed with meat.
Vibes of the place was nice and chill, making it a good place to hang and unwind after a day’s work with a glass of beer paired with skewers. If that’s what you’re looking for then Shukuu Izakaya is a place for you :)
Food and atmosphere was amazing, nice place for a date or just to relax with friends! Ordered the beef, crab potato gratin and unagi which I highly recommend. Drinks were nice as well
Shukuu Izakaya’s Tochigi Wagyu A4 skewer is a must-try—super tender, buttery, and full of umami. The beef short rib skewer is just as impressive: juicy, flavourful, and grilled to perfection. Perfect spot for top-notch kushiyaki in town!
we enjoyed our dining experience here! they have a good selection of food and drinks and we had some unique dishes that we’ve never tried before! would recommend this place for a casual dinner and drinks
Came on a Sunday evening and place wasn’t that crowded. The beef with potato stew was good - hearty and comforting. Highly recommend. Minced pork cutlet was also crispy and Black cod with miso from the seasonal menu was nicely seasoned, moist and tender.
Overall nice restaurant with attentive service. Good selection of alcohol as well.
Came across this hearty Japanese restaurant on a weekend evening.
Restaurant had a chill vibe, like those you would enjoy after a long day of work.
Ordered the Gindara Misoyaki, Tako Wasabi, Gyuniku Jaga, and some Pork skewers.
Special love to the Tako Wasabi with the rich, strong wasabi taste, as well as the skewers, which were super tender and flavourful!
Highly recommended to anyone that are looking for a nice japanese restaurant that serves skewers!
tried oden for the first time ever here it was one of the most comforting dishes i've had! would recommend the mentaiko rosti too. restaurant was quite cosy and vibey too i kept looking at the paintings on the walls, nice place to yap and catch up with a friend :)
Shukuu Izakaya is a gem! The food is super fresh and really well prepared — you can taste the quality in every bite. The interior has a cozy, authentic vibe, and the service was warm and attentive. Great spot for a chill night out with amazing Japanese food. Will definitely be back!
The ambience was rustic and warm. We came here for the beef tongue, the mini donburis, the gyu don and sashimi don, the sake oysters, the gratin, the cod (seasonal item) and wasabi octopus.
I highly recommend the crab gratin and cod 🔥🔥🔥
A lively atmosphere, in my opinion great for gatherings. We reached around 7pm on a weekday night and there were a few seats left but were quickly filled. The waiting time for food was not too long and the items came one after another.
As the food portions are on the smaller side, it is nice to have a variety of them. Standout dishes for me were the Spicy Salmon Don ($11) which was creamy and fresh, with just the right amount of rice. Gindara Misoyaki ($20) which was black cod, again fresh and perfectly grilled. Didn't try the sake this time so we got Sake Oysters ($16) instead which was pretty fresh and peppery, with a sweet aftertaste of the sake.
Will come back to try the sake!
great place and vibes with fantastic food. really resembles the izakaya vibe and made me reminisce the times i was in japan. restaurant is cosy and well ventilated which makes it comfortable to chill and hangout with friends. will recommend the cod, gyu don and oden. really love those! best to make reservation when dropping by as it can get quite packed in the evening
