The sushi & sashimi are very good. Tempura & black cod are okay but not remarkable. Overall, the food is good, & price is not bad. The sushi & sashimi platters are excellent. Service is prompt. The restaurant seems very clean, & it's nice that they have a pianist playing soft music in the background. Very busy place, so I would recommend making a reservation.View more

First, the food,delicious beyond control, they have perfected their menu, & their food presentation is 👌, for the service we had the nicest man I've ever seen he helped me learn how to use chopsticks & now I'm a professional, he was super professional & every time I took a sip of water another kind guy waiter would rush over & give me an instant refill, the atmosphere was perfect the layout of the building, the washrooms, the front desk, the tables & chairs, the candles they give you while you eat, the flowers on the tables, almost everything about it is perfected to the point where I don't understand how this is only a 4.5 star resturant. It was so good that I don't know where they could improve.View more

Sho-Dan, in my opinion, offers some of, if not the best, sushi in the city. This is a place highly frequented for business lunches & for good reason. The quality of the fish is always incredibly fresh & the rolls are expertly prepared. They offer very unique types of rolls which avoid the use of cheap fillers like tempura & spicy mayo, & you consistently get excellent cuts of fish. I highly recommend every roll I've tried on the menu (which by now is almost everything), but I have to say that the lawyer is my favourite, a very unique roll. This is not your traditional Japanese sushi dining experience (ie. This is not a place that focuses on sashimi & basic maki rolls, although they can be ordered), but the specialty rolls are truly out of this world & justify their price. Highly recommend this place for a nice sushi experience. I've been here for dinner & lunch & had excellent experiences for both services.View more

That piano music while dinning was very soothing. I love the atmosphere because you can still have conversations despite music. Fantastic service & great foods!View more
via LibroLoved everything! Friendly, helpful service. Efficient but not rushed. Food was great, ambiance was warm & classy, especially liked the live music. Dessert was delicious!
via LibroLe service laisse à désirer. Aucun serveur n'est venu me saluer à mon arrivée, même la personne qui m'a servit l'eau ne m'a pas dit bonjour. Lorsque nous avons terminé notre repas, le serveur n'est pas venu nous demander si nous désirions café/thé ou dessert.....La nourriture est excellente mais le rapport qualité prix concernant le service pour un restaurant du genre, laisse à désirer.
via LibroFor the price, the food was excellent! Very affordable for quality/high end sushi! Decor & ambiance are very nice, & the service was STELLAR! Nice spot for a first date!

Once inside Sho-Dan, I found myself underwhelmed by the overall atmosphere. The décor lacks character, with plain white tablecloths & a lack of any distinctive features. Instead of exuding a sushi restaurant ambiance, it feels more like an upscale Italian establishment catering to an older demographic. Unfortunately, my initial impression fell short of excitement. However, my disappointment took a turn when we decided to sample a variety of items from the menu. The sushi exceeded expectations, boasting a delightful freshness & appealing presentation. Accompanied by flavorful sauces, the culinary experience was elevated. The house drinks were also noteworthy, adding a positive note to our dining experience. While the staff exhibited kindness, there was a slight lack of enthusiasm, though the service remained decent. In conclusion, it's a venue worth considering if you're seeking exceptionally good sushi. The culinary delights outweigh the lackluster ambiance, making it a destination for sushi enthusiasts.View more
via LibroExcellent à tous points de vue. La nourriture était excellente & de bonne qualité.

via LibroLa pieuvre était un peut caoutchouc-euse & je me rappelle que les sushis étais vraiment "wow" dans le passé & maintenant c'était que bon.
