About us

Shô-Dan is the product of the friendship of three young chefs, passionate about cuisine and art. Loaded with talent, they use the artistic baggage and years of experience in the kitchen to make your outing at one of their restaurants an unforgettable event.

The à la carte menu at Shô-Dan is very elaborate, creative and ideal for those who want to take a chance. Among the specialties are the succulent blueberry sushi, Blue Shadow and the sushi pizza, served on a bed of rice with spicy mayonnaise and smoked salmon. Many different creations are offered, and change every week. The plates are presented in the traditional Japanese aesthetic and reflect the artistic talent of the chefs. A warm service is offered by a young and dynamic team that is always smiling.

To distinguish itself from other sushi restaurants, Shô-Dan accepts special orders. The chefs will try to satisfy your every wish. It is also possible and quite gratifying, to add a perfectly matched wine to your sushi selection. Both establishments are spacious and can welcome over 150 people. The large sushi bar surrounds the chefs and allows you to see them at work. During your visit, you will immerse yourself into the authentic culinary spirit of Japan.

Review Summary

Shô-Dan earns praise for fresh, beautifully presented sushi and inventive, high quality dishes housed in an upscale yet welcoming setting. Specialty rolls like Cancun and Black Dragon stand out for creativity, and the service is consistently attentive, making it a great spot for a shopping break or celebration. Prices are on the higher side and a few items miss the mark, with overcooked edamame or bland non specialty rolls mentioned, but the overall experience is described as refined, delicious, and worth returning for. The emphasis on freshness, thoughtful presentation, and a memorable atmosphere, along with friendly staff and dessert options, rounds out a standout dining experience.

We loved our dinner at Sho-Dan! My daughter has a shrimp allergy & this is the only restaurant where she can safely eat sushi. The food is delicious (try the black cod & jade specialties, as well as the eel) & the kitchen is impeccably clean. Service was terrific. Our server recommended dishes, & helped us work around the shrimp ingredients in some of our selections. We had a great evening & recommend this restaurant.

La nourriture etait fraiche & bonne mais le service, terrible, nous avons attendu tout pres d'une heure avant de recevoir la soupe & la salade. Ce n'etait pas si grave car nous etions trois retraites mais si nous avions travaille, nous n'aurions pu rester, nous aurions du sortir sans avoir mange.

La nourriture est toujours aussi délicieuse. La qualité est toujours au rendez-vous depuis de nombreuses années. Le service est courtois. Je recommande l'assiette de Sashimis.

You get what you pay for, & this is a downtown fixture for the sashim-i or futomaki-lover in you. Reserve if you expect a table in the Thu-Sun corridor, especially during the high season (i.e. summer/autumn). Expect more American traffic with recent declines in the Canadian dollar. Nice central location with good service. Enjoyed the susji/sashimi/maki "Boat Platter."

La qualité des sushis était excellente & les combinaisons d'ingrédients, vraiment intéressantes. Le menu & le chef sont exceptionnels. PAR CONTRE, les prix sont vraiment vraiment élevés. Selon moi, la qualité de la nourriture est bonne, mais pour la quantité reçu (grosseur des sushis), le prix est beaucoup trop élevé.

As usual Sho-Dan didn't disappoint. It is one of the best if not the best sushi in town.

Service excellent mais un peu lent. La nourriture était bonne surtout si vous voulez manger quelque chose de différent que les traditionnels sushis.

Étant amateurs de fines cuisines japonaises, j'ai été comblé par la belle présentation (feuille de bananier & fruits) ainsi que «l'explosion» de saveurs de chaques plats.
Un peu cher pour la quantité, mais la qualité y est.

Bon service, les employés sont souriants & ils se préoccupent du bien-être du client.
