Was quite disappointed. Food was not as well prepared as it was mentioned in the reviews. Seems to be shorthanded in the shop as it took quite a while to come back on revised bill.

Not comfortable seating. Too crowded. Not family friendly - no high chair and no place to put stroller for baby seating. Food is not good. Expensive for the tiny portion.

Always a great time at Shukuu! Definitely recommend the chicken skin, the meatballs and the parmesan cheese chips, those are must orders whenever we visit!

Very nice food and good service! Quite disappointed that they ran out of sashimi though. And the staffs look busy all the time so our glass of water was never refilled... but still, doesn't really matter because the food were really good! I love the tsukune most! So soft and fragrant! I also really like the mentai rosti. Their potato shreds were not the soft kind you get at Marche but a bit... how do i put it? Fresh and crunchy? And the mentai sauce was just the right amount! Not too much to the point of overpowering the rosti and not too little that i don't taste the mentai. Will definately be back for more!!

Great food and a nice izakaya ambience but service staff can be more attentive, it was hard to get their attention to fill up water.

All of the food was super tasty especially the salmon mentai sushi. Love their soup noodles too! The waiters were extremely nice and friendly. However, the servings can be smaller than expected.

Great food, slightly overpriced because the portions were not huge so you need to order a few dishes. The dry sake that was recommended was amazing though!

Good, but expected more given the past reviews. The rosti was really good so was the beef tongue. The bacon and leek yakitori did disappoint though

Nice place, large sake selection. Would be ideal to have a sake menu stating the characteristics of each sake, as well as the price. Maybe good to include recommended food pairing options as well.

Unpretentious. Down-to-earth good food and spot-on recommendations. Not a place for a romantic dinner, but most certainly a place for meeting friends to have a lovely night out where you can eat, drink and laugh happily!

Great food & service! Highly recommend for a night out with friends. Daily Lunch set is also value for money. Recommend to make reservations in advance as the place does not accommodate many people.

Good food and serving size. Chicken on skewer too salty. Love the crab gratin, chicken skin dish and beef with roe. Place is a bit squeezy so unless youmind fellow patrons hearing your conversation, this is quite a good hangout place to chill over drinks

Cosy environment, with good food and service; I've been for multiple return visits. Recommended for both lunch and dinner! Try the kushi don at lunch, and maguro yukke and mentaiko rösti at dinner, though all the food is delicious too =)

Food was good, but the service was excellent. The waiter went to great pains to explain the menu to us and offered recommendations and seemed very enthusiastic about his work. They have a penchant for many things mentaiko and cheese-related, so you might want to mix your orders up to savour a wider range of flavours.
