The Shozan Room

There is so much to like about this intimate bar, the ambiance, food, and sake were all top notch. A sake drinker, I won't often order the sweet sake but my guest did and wish I did too as it had bursts of fruits and length. The pork belly was our standout dish, fatty, smokey, crispy, and falling apart goodness. This place is a must. Side note: We had a birthday next to us and all the staff came out to wish the guest a warm, generous and lighthearted birthday. A very wholesome experience

Love this place! Small, quiet and cozy atmosphere. Delicious food. Perfect for sharing. Very nice and friendly service too. I got the seafood salad, pork gyoza and spicy salmon sushi roll. My favourite was the plum wine. Perfect way to end a Friday evening. Cheers!

Small place with a great vibe and fantastic food, awesome for sharing. Pretty impressive sake menu, and a super cool guide that you can use with your phone to help you choose a sake by answering a few questions on the type of flavours you want to experience. Super nice touch that really makes me want to come back to try some more different types of sake from all over Japan.

Going out of my way to post this review because Shozan is an absolutely incredible restaurant that deserves much more attention. Food is INCREDIBLE. I can’t emphasize how impressed I am. Having chatted with the owner, I found out that the chef is an experienced veteran with over 35yrs experience. Service is impeccable, very cultured waiters who are all to happy to serve you better. And lastly the vibes are fun enjoyable and sociable. I’m having such a good time I kept ordering more and paid a handsome tip. Strong recommend, spread the word!

They have the BEST soft shell crab here. I’ve looking for a restaurant with good soft shell crab for too long, until now. All servers are super friendly and helpful. All dishes that we tried were so good. Definitely will go back and highly recommend !!!!!!

Great restaurant! Service and food was amazing. Cute date spot with great and chill vibes. I would highly recommend the pork belly and agedashi tofu. Seems like the restaurant is family owned so felt great to support a local establishment as we come through the other side of the pandemic. Thanks Bar Shozan!

Great food! Their Japanese tapas is superb. The eggplant with miso is very unique and flavourful. Fried tofu is paired up with actual fresh crab meat. They put many thoughts into their dishes and you can feel it. Very authentic place, they even have ume shiso rolls. Wow!

Yummy! Been here twice and both times the sashimi in the 6ix was fresh and tasty! The chicken wings were crispy and that flavour was on point. Got the pork belly yakitoni and saba mackerel nigiri too! Love love it all : Citrus kabosu and sake sangria were delicious cocktails too!

Everything was cooked so fresh and had great flavours. There wasn't a miss, everything from the karage, with the spiced mayo dip to the adegashi tofu with soft shell crab and pork belly. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. The restaurant feels authentic to Japan.

Hamachi crudo Flavourful with a light touch of yuzu. Addition of cucumbers and veggies lighten up dish. Chili oil added heat to the dish as well. Great dish. Salmon tataki Out of all yhe dishes, this was the only damper on the set. Salmon came out cold and dry. Would have liked to see this seared fresh. Tasted like cooked salmon with an uncooked centre. Flavours and textures conflicted a little. The pieces of salmon were a little too big for me to eat. Deep fried squid tempura legs. Served piping hot and fresh. A tad overcooked but a great way to start a meal. A little on the salty side. Wings Perhaps the most interesting In a good way combination of flavours. Sweet salty and spicy teriyaki. Wings still crispy despite the sauce over it. These would be phenomenal with a battered tempura fry to them. Sushi 5 The fish is fresh and cut amazingly well. Definitely a highlight. Was a little put off by the rice which was a little overcooked. Took away from the amazing fish. Decor and ambiance. Was a little confusing. Old 60s b&w film mixed with modern fashion decore. Service was slow but once it got going dishes came out at a smooth pace at easy intervals to eat. Table was never overwhelmed with food. Any additions after the initial order you have to wait for...
