Shojo Izakaya

Shoji Izakaya is a greatly unique place! It was unfortunate that a lot was no longer available, however with what was available was absolutely scrumptious! The happy wings were extremely savoury and fried perfectly. The rotating cocktail was great! And most importantly the Curry Braised Short was amazing! It was a perfect balance of spice and savoury! Made to perfection and the meat practically melted in my mouth! Kristina was a phenomenal server!

A hidden gem in Edmonton. Located in the lower basement of a building in the brewery district. There is plenty of parking and nice places to explore nearby The izakaya has a wonderful atmosphere. Happy hour drinks and small plates are a must try. Homemade sodas and iced teas as well. There is a nice drink selection. Homemade sodas and iced teas as well. The food is flavourful and inspired. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

I've been to Shojo a handful of times but do want to come here more often. They've got new menu and dessert items each time I return and sometimes they're a real hit. Their mushroom udon is great but noticed it tasted different this time around still tasty but in a different way like two different recipes were used. The first time it was much more mouth-watering and really pulled me into the dish. Recommend their hot foods or izakaya menu times, wouldn't really recommend sushi here as it's not on the high end of their creations. They were all kind of different sized and most of them were oddly skinny. Cones felt a little small as well but needed something to fill me up a bit more. Katsu sliders were on POINT though, worth the try :

Great friendly Izakaya experience with delicious varied plates and cocktails. Whether alone or with a group, it's a nice setting nestled in a lower level. Fantastic patio.

Checked out Shōjō Izakaya for happy hour. Service was good; attentive without being overbearing. The HH menu is short and sweet 5:00pm to 6:00pm, 9:00pm to close with 6 food items and four drink options. - 2x Cherry sling $10.00 - their spin on the classic Singaporean drink. - Honey butter soy edamame $4.00 - sauce was sticky and really clung to the edamame. - Yaki udon $10.00 - udon wasn't yaki style but we enjoyed it. The sauce/broth was good. - Okonomiyaki fries $7.00 - fries were plain. - Salmon sashimi $7.00 for 5 - slices are on the small side, but quality was good. - Chicken wings $7.00 - the special flavour of the evening was a chashu sauce $0.50 extra. Nothing memorable about it. Solid happy hour eats and drinks at SI.

The food was delicous and I really liked the cozy, causal atmosphere. We had the pressed salmon sushi, okonomiyaki fries, and the mushroom cream udon. Definitely recommend!

A quaint trendy place literally under the brewery district. Service is great with a lively atmosphere. The duck was surprisingly the favorite of the night. Smokey flavour on the outside with soft tender centre. Would highly reccomend! Mushroom udon was also a great highlight. Nice hit of spiced seasoning which was tied together well with the cream sauce. Many of the Dishes are sharable for up to four people. Would not reccomend ordering sushi here but the izakaya is decent!

The food here was delicious, oishii AF. The sushi tasted fresh, with perfectly cooked rice. We also ordered sushi pizza, the patatas bravas, halloumi, karage, and both udon dishes, and then the panna cotta for desert. All were nothing short of excellent. Service was quick and friendly, decor and atmosphere very nice. We'll be back. If you're reading this, stop your search of where you want to eat right now, this is it.

Went for happy hour and was not disappointed! Had excellent customer service. Loved the modern lowkey atmosphere. Great for a casual meet up with friends. And- there is a lovely patio option! Food was exactly what you’d expect, simple dishes, smaller portions, great for sharing. Overall, I give this place my gold star of approval!

First time here. After hearing about this from a few people, finally decided to give this place a try. Was kinda expecting the same kind of experience as Dorinku Osaka/Tokyo but I was quite underwhelmed by the food flavour. Salmon sashimi cuts were one of the thinnest cuts that I have ever had. The torched pressed sushi was quite overloaded with sauce and so the salmon flavour was kind of diminished. And $18 for such small amount is quite high when compared to how much you’d get at Dorinku. My favourite was the deep fried chicken. However, that kind of defeats the purpose as the sushi and sashimi should be the defining factor for the restaurant. Lastly the price was also kinda excessive as well. For 125 dollars that I spent for a party of 2, I expected much more.
