Shobosho

We dined in on Easter Monday after making a booking online. We needed to make a last minute adjustment on the time and number of diners, and they were very helpful in accommodating our request. The food was amazing at Shobosho! Simple and quality ingredients turned into uniquely scrumptious dishes. Everything we ordered here had amazing flavours. The fried rice, chicken and eggplant were all great, and complimented each other perfectly as well.

They are amazing. We were so glad we sat next to the bar - seeing chefs are cooking/producing a great amount of the foods in order which was quite entertaining to watch. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Foods are great, very generous amount. We saw a lot of leek/eggplants dishes were going out - wish we ordered them too. Willing to come back & highly recommended

Simply stunning. The team are incredible to watch sitting at the bar inn front of the kitchen. A well oiled machine with everyone working in perfect synchronicity. The wine list is small but with great choices across all price bands. The food (THE FOOD) was incredible. I have to say I love Japanese and given we haven't visited this restaurant before, we decided on the feed me package. It was incredible. Generous servings, flavours and presentation that lifts this restaurant well above the average excellent Japanese restaurant. There was a line at 9pm so be sure to book. Seating inside or out is available. I only rate awesome and horrid. This place was at the pointy end of awesome. Happy eating

Six stars. If only that were possible. This is my FAVOURITE restaurant in the country!!!! I live in Canberra and dine in Melbourne and Sydney a lot (that consulting life…) and this place outshines the best of the best across the country. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant. They are easily the best in the game (especially Peta). Her service, knowledge and communication was sensational. She really made our evening special. I also can’t get over the prices. Silver service places charge more and they WISH their food and service was this good!! Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant, for example, charges more but their food and service is nowhere near as good. Sean’s Kitchen also wishes they could serve red meat as good as the aged ribs here (they can’t and Sean’s Kitchen prices are a joke for the quality of food they serve - go to Shobosho and get the Aged Ribs instead). The food is amazing, cooked to perfection with beautiful flavours and amazing presentation. The aged ribs was the stand out dish, although everything we had was 10/10. Even the bread was something special. The atmosphere, food and staff make this a truly special place that I would come back to time and time again.

Wonderful place for a fancy dinner! Only a short wait between dishes even though it was quite busy, and service was exceptional. We picked our dishes to share instead of the feed me options. Large selection of different dishes (most made to share) on the menu, with some being more generously sized than others. For the price point everything lived up to, and even exceeded our expectations!

Menu is simple and effective with some of the dishes. Eggplant was delicious, leek was so over cooked only 40% of the dish was edible. Oysters were great, along with the Salmon. Chicken was pink and blushed for 40% of the dish, very chewy and hard to cut and eat. Apparently it’s Sous vide for 24hrs, according to the staff. Not sure how accurate this is? However it was really blush and hard to cut through. We left it. Worth a visit but order wisely.
