Shoyu Sushi Japanese Restaurant in Bakersfield

Stopped by with the wife to get some lunch and the server was great. He had amazing customer service. We both got the bento box and it was decent, the chicken tasted like the microwave chicken rubbery and tasteless, they do put a lot of sauce on it maybe that’s why so you won’t taste it. The beef was the same thing cheap meat and tasteless. The rolls were nothing too special would not be coming back for lunch.

The restaurant is kept at a low light and has soothing music. Its a wonderful place to go and relax.

So it was a year ago today so we decided to come to this delicious restaurant and see if anything has changed and I glad to say it hasnt, the environment is wonderful. The waiters were great and very attentive of everyone around not just ours. I would say it was a busy night for a Sunday. We decided to get quite a few item to see if everything gets the attention it needs and to say the least everything came out very nice with a great presentation. The edamame and shrimp tempura look great salmon and catipillar roll we phenomenal, but what sushi number 3 the salmon and tuna rolls and 8 piece assorted sushi were great

This Americanized sushi restaurant has phenomenal service! Unfortunately we went during rush hour and they became rather backed up with phone orders. We had ordered and received the cucumber salad and the garlic edamame, which were greasy and sugary. It took so long to get the rest of the order that we ended up getting it to go and left. The manager did come out and apologize for the wait. No complaints about the customer service or the environment. We will try this location again in the future when its not the dinner rush and see if its better than our first experience.

Absolutely amazing and the service was spectacular. Jason was helping us at the sushi bat and he was amazing

Amazing service, delicious food! We were seated right away on a Thursday night! We are definitely returning with our Family and friends ❤️

Absolutely the freshest sushi in town. Service is top notch 10 out of 10. Their menu is fit for everybody, From Sushi to noodles and a full kitchen menu. If you havent tried it I definitely suggest you do.

I went in there yesterday with my 4 month old son to celebrate my birthday. Unfortunately my boy was not too happy to be there. He was very upset at one point and everyone there was so understanding. I felt so guilty to have him crying but thankfully all the employees were so nice. I desperately wish I got the woman’s name but a younger waitress (a mom of a 1 year old) came up to me to let me know how great of a mom I was. Words can’t describe how thankful I am for her kindness. I will be recommending this place 🤍

Top notch spot! Came with my little family, 2 adults & 2 toddlers. They had high chairs and your choice of seating (while it’s not busy that is). I had the Dream crunch roll, chicken teriyaki kids meal (enough for both to share), bento box with teriyaki beef/chicken rice - salad- soup and garlic butter edamame. We loved it all and it’s now my go-to sushi spot.

Friends took me to this place. Normally, with Sushi, I can take it or leave it. The deep fried lobster roll was so good. Staff was nice. Green tea ice cream was delicious. Will be going again soon. Everything was on point.
