Shukuu Izakaya & Sake Bar

A great Izakaya place to hang out after work, would recommend the Negitoro Mini Don and the chicken karaage as it was crispy without being too dry in the middle!

very smooth sake, even for one of the cheapest options! was very nice to drink and we finished it really quickly. food was nice too!

Had an amazing experience at shukuu

The Sashimi was so fresh and fat!! The mentai sushi was also coated fully with mentaiko making it an indulgent and savoury bite.

I highly recommend their yuzu shu also, it was so refreshing and sweet.

Their pork asparagus was also fresh and makes for a healthy balanced addition to your meal

An authentic Japanese izakaya located in the central area, this spot is ideal for after work dinners with colleagues. Be sure to try their Pork Jowl and Garlic Fried Rice—the pork is incredibly tender, with just the right balance of sweetness, fattiness, and savoriness. The Garlic Fried Rice pairs perfectly with it. While the portions could be larger, the quality of the food is undeniable. This place is highly recommended for group gatherings, and they also offer a wide variety of sake and alcohol selections.

I had a delightful dining experience at ShuKuu last night. The A4 Wagyu beef was absolutely succulent and expertly grilled, offering a melt-in-the-mouth experience that I highly recommend. The beef stew was equally impressive, with tender strings of meat and lenient blend of potatoes & carrots that complemented each other well. The ambience was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal. Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy quality Japanese cuisine.

Had dinner at Shukuu Japanese Izakaya and Bar on a weekend night. The place is located along Stanley Street, an area packed with plenty of popular eateries.

The first dish I had was the Crab Gratin with Mentaiko, creatively served in a crab head. The potato was cooked perfectly—soft but not crumbling when eaten—with notable chunks of crab within, all topped with a generous amount of torched mentaiko. Another mentaiko dish that I thoroughly enjoyed was the Rosti Mentai, which featured a plentiful amount of torched mentaiko paired perfectly with shredded rosti potatoes that had crisp edges and a soft, steamy interior.

I also ordered several Kushiyaki, namely the Tontoro Black Pork Collar, Bacon with Asparagus, and my personal favorite, Tsukune Meatballs. The meatballs were superbly well glazed, and the meat was juicy and flavorful.

Last but definitely not least, for drinks, I decided to try the Sawanotsuru Aged Umeshu. It was sweet with hints of sourness and a pleasant plum aroma, and I will most certainly be getting an entire bottle to enjoy at home.

I highly recommend Shukuu Izakaya to anyone looking for a great night out with friends and family while enjoying good Japanese izakaya cuisine and drinks.
