Shoto Japanese Steakhouse

Yet again a great dining experience! Had a great dinner this evening as always! They were able to accommodate my party/family of 11 with no issue at all! Food never disappoints and never has. Been my favorite for at least 12-13 years. Service was great, food was awesome! What more can you ask for! Thanks Jimmy and staff for such great service amidst the pandemic struggles!! 10 stars if it was an option! Can’t wait until bar reopens!!!

Shoto is such a gem of a place. Awesome location, killer upstairs bar and the food is just excellent. The menu is very clearly laid out, where you choose your protein and can pair it with a variety of veggies and sides and a starch. There are certain things Japanese dives have to nail...and Jimmy and Co. sweat the small details; the shrimp sauce, the clear onion soup, the attention to detail on the appetizers, and even the decor: it's all perfection. If you're wanting something really indulgent, ask for the firecracker chicken or shrimp: it's breaded and fried to perfection, and it's drizzled with what I think is some sort of spicy mayo. It's so stinking good. If you're up for a longer night, be sure to hit up Jimmy's bar upstairs, the cocktails redefine handcrafted and a lot of love goes into them, much as it does in everything else here. Highly recommended.
