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.

Le 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.

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.

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