| - Like this delightfully understated restaurant, I'll keep this review short, unblemished, simple, and eloquent (I hope).
Two words: heavenly porked. Another two words: spicy miso. And finally, two more words: milk tea. Put these things together and you have something that is truly unique, well balanced and delectable.
The menu is simple: five or six different types of soup, fried rice, rice bowls, chicken wings, and gyoza. Less is definitely more at Shoku.
Let's talk about pork for a second. Not only is the broth richly infused with beautiful porky goodness, but the meat itself is so expertly prepared and full of flavor. If you've never tried pork belly or cheek before, this is a great way to start. Unbelievably tender and flavorful.
The chefs here are obviously dedicated and committed to their craft and Shoku is definitely a refreshing (and cheap) change of pace to the usual mundane casual eateries out there.
