I understand that Sho is a pretty new place so when we tried it out earlier I was expecting that there will be a few issues. I just didn't think there will be a lot.
Parking:
There is ample parking in the area but one side of the restaurant only goes one way coming from MacLeod Trail. I wish they designed their parking area to have a better flow where you didn't have to go out to the street just to get back in the parking space.
Service:
My husband and I arrived early and were the first and only customers when we got there. The miso soup came right away but we had to wait 25 minutes after the miso soup came for the rest of our orders - I didn't expect the wait time to be that long for 3 rolls in an almost empty restaurant. Our server was friendly but she just wasn't around much to refill our water or check if we needed anything else.
While we were there I think they were having a little bit of training. I'm fine with that but I thought that the owner/manager was talking a little too loud which kind of interrupted the conversations of the customers dining.
Food and Price:
I think everything was reasonably priced given the size of the servings. We ordered:
Miso soup - I thought it's lacking in flavor. I couldn't get much miso flavor from it
Spicy Salmon Crispy Sushi - the concept of it would have been great but the spicy salmon itself wasn't seasoned well
Rainbow Roll, Spider Roll, Dragon Fire Roll - all these rolls were really great (favorite would be Rainbow roll) and all the ingredients tasted really fresh. I thought that all the ingredients came really well together. I just hope they will be more careful with their ingredients next time as I got something (don't know if it's a shell or plastic) really sharp and hard with my Dragon Fire Roll.
At the end of our meal, they gave us frozen grapes for dessert. Maybe they should just chill them instead of freeze as I almost hurt my teeth when I bit into it.
Will I try Sho again? Maybe because I was impressed by the food but I'd probably wait at least 6 months and wait for them to settle down.
