Shukuu was great! Good food, fast service - even though they ran our of their free appetizers at their main table, that was made up by having that dish individually served at each table!

The beef in ponzu sauce and skewers were good recommendations by the service staff. We ordered the mackerel as well, but would probably give that a miss if we revisit next time.

They’re incredibly busy because the food is good. We ordered everything with mentaiko and a few of the dons. Because they’re so busy the waiter got the order wrong and gave us tuna don instead of salmon don. However, we stuck with the wrong order and it turned out great! The standard of food is consistently good regardless of what you order, apart from the cheese with honey and tomato which all of us found overpowering. Service is decent. Although they may not always get it right, they try very hard.

Was given tables outside that feels like your everyday coffee shop. Did not get to experience the restaurant's atmosphere. They did mention it's gonna be outdoor tables though. Did not expect it to be so madeshift.

Really nice food in a very relaxed atmosphere. Not your usual Japanese style restaurant. The skewers and Hokkaido scallops particularly good Didn’t drink so cannot rate the sake but did see a few people enjoying it!

Great food but sake glasses are super small... I finished the sake very quickly and hoped the serving was larger. Food comes in small portions but everything tasted great. Would definitely go back to this place!

If it can be less rowdy and space constraint then expected, not suitable for nice chitchatting session with groups. Service is acceptable, as we couldn't expect prompt service when needed on a crowded Friday with full house guests. Food is acceptable with wide variety of choices and sake of the week is awesome.

Potions are extra small and the taste was not really good except the beef skewer but "2 gramms" of beef for 10sgd that's robbery. Won't be coming again

Quality of food was good but portion was a tad small. Although each dish was affordably priced, you need to order quite a few dishes in order to fill you up. Sake was good but again not exactly cheap. However, would return again as every single dish (crab gratin, yuzu beef, skewers, minidon) we ordered was well-prepared and absolutely delicious !

Been here a couple of times now, and the food standard has always remained consistent. Service was prompt, and the food is served fairly quickly as well. I enjoyed the overall ambience, and this restaurant is perfect for a night of winding down.

Honestly, the skewers were not really the yummiest or juiciest. Definitely quite pricey at $30/pax (only one serving of alcohol). But service was good, and ambience was cosy. I guess it's good for a celebratory type gathering. :)

Recommended to reserve seats in advance as the place is packed on a Friday night. Strongly recommended for a good place to chill and have a few drinks with co-workers. Great selection of snacks and small mains for sharing. Friendly and attentive staff.

Went with a friend for dinner and booked a reservation. We did a set menu meal which was 40$/pax. It was a great way to introduce ourselves to what Shukuu had to offer. Great service and great food. It's all you can ask for. Also - sake choice was amazing. I will definitely go back.
