In town for a few days and was craving japanese food.ordered take out.assorted tempura, california roll, and signature fried rice with chickeni knew ordering tempura for take out would not be the same quality as dine in so with regards to the tempura i was not expecting top notch. but i was at least expecting some sort of notch. i didnt like it because the veggies given was maybe to different veggiesthe california roll was also nondescript, the roll was pretty flavorlessthe fried rice, just as bland and boring.i picked up around 7 on a friday night. place was empty and i could see why.satisfy my craving...nope
Sashimi were so fresh; Skewers were at perfect temperature; Staffs were very attentive; Will come back to try more different dishes.
Ordered pork katsu for takeout, and found out later at home that they didnt give me the dipping sauce for thr pork. Without it, the katsu is only very dry. A little disappointed. Hope they are more attentive to what they do
Ordered 2 tempura mix and they were great. Coated perfectly but the sauce mixture didn’t taste like any other tempura sauce I’ve had. I also ordered a TNT roll. I did get it to go so it was in a foam to go box. Inside it has deep fried eel, avocado and albacore tuna. Outside it had spicy scallop, masago and green onion with unagi and spicy Mayo. From the picture on yelp, it didn’t look anything like it. It came with 5 pieces. It was also plated in such an awkward way, pieces randomly scattered and sauce on the foam plate like it was dropped there and then moved. The whole thing was deep fried and had some white jelly like substance on top, I’m assuming it is the scallops but it was more like crystal boba than scallops. I had 2 and then in the 3rd one, I found a fish bone. I bit into it and luckily didn’t swallow it before finding the bone. Spit it out and saw a bone nearly an inch big. First time here and it was empty when we went in, shoulda been an indicator that it’s not the greatest. Probably won’t be returning back after this first experience.
Food and service was really enjoyable.
Really friendly staff. Definitely a must for any sushi lover out there.
Good food. Price fair. Service person needs to communicate better in English.

2022-02-06 03:42:59We tried this new Sushi place in town. The staff is really friendly and willing to give recommendations. We tried 3 different rolls and all were good. The tempura is generously sized. Our party split on the taste. Half liked it and the other half said just OK.Overall this is a nice new addition to the sushi scene and well go back again. The decor is fresh and contemporary, yet warm and inviting.

2023-04-29 23:59:29First of all I had to keep calling 3-4 times to get someone to answer the phone, and that didn’t bother me … what bothered me is when I picked up my sushi and came home, I opened my food and immediately discovered a tiny gnat on my roll . . Never coming here again

2022-12-31 04:51:31Had my first year anniversary here with my wife. The owner who served us was gracious and kind to us and had a great sense of humor. Their sushi is top quality both in taste, and in presentation. It is clear that shota sushi is the best in town!

2022-03-06 03:48:24Very nice place, great sushi and some special dishes (Shots Specials). The tempura was excellent, the Shota Spicy Halibut was a really great experience.I came at an earlier time and the place was empty, which provided personalized attention from the owner, Unfortunately as many other restaurants, personnel is limited to a couple, mostly the owner and the sushi chef(s). I highly recommend this place!

2021-10-30 00:35:30We recently moved back to the area and wanted to give Shota Sushi a try. Weve now been there twice: once for takeout and once for dine-in. Both times the food was very good. The table service was excellent. The server was extremely friendly and helpful and came back often to check on us, refill our drinks, etc.By the way, the sashimi salad was tasty, large, and had a nice, light dressing.
