My girlfriend and I have wanted to try this place for awhile now. We always sit at the sushi bar when we go out for sushi, unfortunately we were sat next to the meanest old korean lady we have ever seen. She was so rude to the staff the entire time we were there. Our server actually apologized to us because we had to sit next to where she eats. She kept yelling at the servers for no apparent reason. As far as we could see she has no reason to be there, except to be mean to her staff. It wasnt just the servers either, she was possibly meaner to the kitchen staff. Our server also told us there is alot of staff turnover, we quickly understood why. Who would want to work for such a mean old lady?? She single-handedly ruined our experience at Shoku, and we will not return solely based upon the fact that she will still be there. This is a shame because this restaurant has great potential, but she is holding it back. The owner needs to wise up and get her out of there!
Pros: waitstaff. sushi.
Cons: everything else.
