Since Japanese is one of my favorite types of cuisine, we decided to try Sho Sushi on Macleod for my birthday dinner. It was conveniently located and had some great reviews so I was excited to check it out.
Atmosphere: 4/5 I was surprised that it was not too busy for a Saturday evening, but we also came quite early. Interesting decor with a modern and classy feel, and I especially like the open kitchen area. We were seated at one of the tables with high chairs. I like the quiet and relaxed atmosphere - great for catching up with friends over conversation. The back area also had some interesting wall paintings. Bathrooms are modern just like in Japan!
Food: 4/5 We ended up having salmon sushi, beef tataki, ocean seaweed salad, spider and samurai rolls. The menu has a number of creative rolls which all sounded very tasty. I like the option of having black rice for one of the rolls. Everything was very fresh and tasty, and I especially like having the rolls seared right in front of us.
Service: 4/5 overall friendly, attentive and efficient
Price: 3/5 Reasonable for the type and amount of food
Overall: 4/5 I enjoyed my experience at this Japanese restaurant. It has a great and relaxed atmosphere to have quiet conversation, as well as some creative choices for sushi rolls. I would return again to try some of their other menu items.
