   Best in Adelaide! Seafood was delightfully presented, so fresh with unique traditional flavours. Tiffany who looked after us was brilliant in advice with the menu and recommended paired wines and sake. Can’t wait to return.

   There's nothing that you would consider to be japanese dining, over thought menu, haven't got the basics right, and service was poor from staff who just didn't want to be there.

   My partner & I attended the “Van Bone” Cooking experience, which was great. The staff were superb & took the time to explain the dishes. I am definitely a fan of this restaurant, we will be back.

   Had been looking forward to going to this restaurant and had heard really good things - but over all was disappointed. I received an automated message that my table was ready 20 minutes before my reservation time, however I was not seated until 20 minutes after my reservation time. We were asked about dietary requirements and brought out meals containing allergens twice. At the end of the meal we were provided desert plates and 30 minutes later still hadn’t received dessert. When we enquired we were told that they had forgotten. We were provided a discount. The staff were lovely and apologetic, and the food was delicious - however the lack of coordination and communication overpowered the experience.

    Tasting menu was not really good and staff never asked our preferences. It was not much food and none of us was full after that. And the food didn’t really meet our expectations.

    On a very busy Friday night, really appreciated staff thoughtfulness in moving us - along with two comfortable chairs - from the bar where my husband's knee injury meant he couldn't sit on a stool, to an outside table. Attentive, helpful service.

    Couldn’t eat more than entrees with my partner, we loved everything and then we brought it dessert. Wee we’re only charged a lunch rate at dinner and we’re so surprised to be offered this. Will definitely come back for the whole course. Couldn’t have asked for better service. Everything was on point 🙏

    We order 5 dishes and unfortunately they are over priced standard food. The highlight of the evening was the oyster, fresh and well balance seasoned. The wait staff didn’t not greet with us and she came up twice ask us to order drinks after we told her we are good with water. Is she a drinks promoter? That was very pushy and unprofessional.

    This experience dining at Shobosho was exceptional and differed entirely with the service I received the day after Mother’s Day. In my previous experience, I arrived with one other to find that the menu was limited with fewer choices on the day. I was disappointed and talked to the floor manager on the day, expressing concern and stated that he should have let me know the situation. This would have given me a choice to dine here or go elsewhere. An apology was given and I was told I should come again. I stated that this had been a special occasion and had introduced a person who had not dined at the restaurant, they too were totally disappointed. I would say that the attitude conveyed was totally dismissive. I had not been keen to come back to the restaurant again, however my guest wanted to sample the food so I agreed. Luckily for us we were looked after by two exceptional staff on the day. Tiffany and Atalyia on hearing my previous experience proceeded to make amends and offered some delicious starters and a glass of wine to compensate for the previous experience. What amazing customer service, prompt, attentive and offered great advice about the menu and wine list. Congratulations Tiffany and Atalyia you made the day very special .

    Delicious food, portions designed to share. I booked to sit at the kitchen bar to watch the action. Be aware when requesting to sit at the kitchen bar seating there are two seats at the very right, infront of the sink and service area. We couldn't easily see any of the cooking action from our seats, but got a good view of the water bottles and bills being rung up. My menu got splashed from staff washing things in the sink and was a bit grossed out at the thought of that happening when our food arrived. Not sure if it did, because it was a bit dark at our end of the counter. If we'd not been sat there, I'm sure I'd be raving about my experience.

    Whilst we enjoyed the meal and our waitress was great, the whole experience just felt rushed. Our booking was 6:45pm and I think we were out of there just after 8. The 5 dishes we ordered were pretty much all served at the same time, and so it just felt rushed and we were not able to enjoy the experience as much as we might have. We didn't even have time to look at the desserts menu, if you even have one. I understand that you have to turn the tables over to make money, I get that.

    Firstly the food was amazing, the raw tuna dish was simply amazing, melted in my mouth... I could have eaten just that and been satisfied but then more delicious food came out! Service was fantastic- nice and friendly staff, respectful that you are out with someone and trying to enjoy their company! Will be a return customer many times I think!
