    This experience was fantastic! My girlfriend and I dined in for the omakase, which was our first time having an experience like this. Juan, our server was extremely knowledgeable with the food items and pairings etc... The food was some of the best I've ever had, fresh ingredients, immaculate presentation. I would recommend to anyone who would like to experience omakase!

    It's always a good time at Shimogamo. My husband and I have been going for nearly four years now, and every time is a treat. The food is top-notch, and the staff are very nice.

    It is really unfortunate that I have to write this review. We went there for my son’s 17th birthday. He had been there with his father Once and they really enjoyed it. We were a party of five. Our appetizers and first part of our food came out promptly. I ordered a mule as a cocktail and My Husband ordered a Manhattan as a cocktail. The server came back and said that the waiter was unable to make either of those so we needed to choose something different.. that was fine. Wasn’t fine it took 35 minutes to get the rest of our food and I finally asked the waitress if it wasn’t ready to please just give us our check. She came back with our check.. I’d also made the reservation stating it was My Son’s birthday as well as telling her when we sat down so I felt the least that could’ve been done after waiting 35 more minutes for the rest of our meal was a scoop of ice cream for his birthday. Nothing.. all five of us left hungry and will not return.

    A bit disappointed. I've gone here several times. But this time the whole restaurant had a very strong sewer smell. So much that we were going to go to the other location, but we were not sure if we would get in. Service was slow, and food was not as good as usual. Struggling to have a desire to return.

    I was recommended to this place. I am use to good fresh sushi. When we arrived it smelled a little off, slightly fishy. We ordered our rolls and when they arrived I could tell it was a bad choice. You could see the fish was not fresh. It literally was pasty and could be removed like paste vs a piece of fish. I spit out the only bite. We ordered 3 different rolls I didn’t say anything. The waitress stopped by and asked if we wanted a box. I said no. She asked if we weee full so I told her no the fish was not fresh and was very bad. She said they fly in their fish fresh everyday. She then said she would tell the chef. A little later a younger guy came over to us and said I understand you weren’t happy so we gave you a small discount. I took pictures of the sushi and showed him and said. “ you realize it is dangerous to serve pasty fish in sushi. He said he hadn’t heard of that but said they fly their fish in weekly. Different than what the waitress said. Either way it was horrible. I wish I could post the pictures. Because anyone who eats sushi would be able to tell immediately. So I going to do another review on google where you can post pics of anyone is reading this they will be able to see for themselves. It is very obvious. I include this because before I came I read a few of their negative reviews and they denied some of the reviews claims. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. But thanks for the literally $5 off for smelly pasty fish which I couldn’t eat.
