Shinmai Shokudo

Addicted to good Japanese cuisine, we researched and found Shinmai Shoduko. The restaurant is quite small, doesn’t take reservations, so being on a Tuesday evening, we went with our fingers crossed. It was full, there was only one table for 2 pax left but we are party of 4, so we waited. The lovely lady server (sorry I asked for your name but then forgot) was really polite, nice and clever at the same time. She tried to politely brought the bills to other tables and after 15 minutes, managed to set a table for 4 for us. She took orders neatly and brought the food once by one very nice. 5 STARS for the service. Ambiance is chill, even though the place is small, it’s totally full but we felt relaxed with the moderate noise and nice atmosphere. We ordered 2 Gyozas, 3 different Ramen and one C

Having come back recently from a long trip to Japan, I was really missing the food and being out of town, I was able to find this place. I drove an hour out of my way to try it out and was not disappointed! I simply got some Okonomiyaki (Osaka style), takoyaki and Gyudon. I ended the meal with their Match Affogato. Being stateside, I was quite satisfied, with everything tasting wonderful. I will say the Takoyaki was particularly exceptional 👏 The staff was very welcoming and kind as well. It all very much brought me "back" so to speak. I'll certainly have to remember to swing by here in the future if I'm ever passing through again

Such a delight to have an amazing food Mecca near by. We thoroughly enjoyed Shinmai Shokudo’s dishes. We ordered the carbonara udon, spinach Goma-we, and Iikado to share. Highly recommend the Ochazuke if you like a simple clean dinner set that gives you a taste of a bit of everything about Japanese cuisine. Bento is a good set with a clean crisp vinaigrette dressing. We look forward to trying the Tonkatsu and Curry Don next time. Come early as there are no reservations!

I ordered the “japanese croquetas” (i forgot what theyre actually called,) the teriyaki chicken bento box, and the matcha ice cream. All of it was so good. I also got the peach oolong tea which was very good. My server was saleea and she was also the only one as well as the hostess. Couldnt have asked for better service. She greets you when she hears the door and is very kind and patient. She let me bring in my luggage and i had 4 big bags with me. The restaurant has great food made pretty quick and they play Japanese music for real. Id come here daily if i lived around here 10/10 thank you!!

We decided to drive over 30 minutes to the restaurant since I've seen so many good reviews and recommandations from foodie groups on FB. The Google reviews are positive too. I wanted to have Japanese soba cold noodle for a while but turned out disappointed when I saw how my food was served. The noodles were broken. The taste of the food was ok to us, a little pricy to our own preference. The service was good, the lady was very nice to us.
