Shodai Restaurant

I’ll leave 3 stars but really it’s either a 1 or a 4/5 depending on what’s going on. Half the time the food is amazing the other half it’s hardly edible. This used to be my local go-to but now there are definitely better options. No sure how long they’ll be around if they keep serving old dried up chicken half the time.

Ordered for a night in the crab roll and orange chicken. My partner couldn’t eat the orange chicken because it had no flavor/unlike orange chicken. The crab roll’s “crab” was so chewy as if they also had rice infused with it (obviously not apart of the rice outside of the roll). House salad I ordered also did not have ginger dressing but a dressing along the lines of a microwaved chicken covering. Sorry to disappoint, I had higher hopes, too.

Ordered off uber eats, the shodai pork bento. It came with katsu chicken so i figured get another type of meat right. Anyway their menu claims gyoza and salad but i was given something else besides gyoza and the salad was old and brown and the salad dressing rancid, other than that the rest of the meal was fine but i really wanted gyoza and could've done without old salad and rancid dressing Also Katsu breading was hard dry Tempura was just potato discards dipped in batter and deepfried
