"This place is amazing and inviting. The Saki was really light and delicious. The kimchi was extremely fresh and flavorful with a nice little kick. I definitely suggest eating it with the seasoned rice. The spicy ramen was also very tasty as the pork had a delicious smoked taste to it. The service was quick and engaging, and the atmosphere is perfect for a quaint date night. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you doing?"

"4.5 over all. Have you ever been in the middle of Birmingham Alabama and thought I could really go for a ramen bowl right now? Neither had I but I stumbled across this place and decided to try it out. I had their tonkotsu ramen (pork ramen) with an added egg and garlic oil. It was a solid four out of five. There take on takoyaki was also pretty good. More hush-puppy like than normal takoyaki but that's how they advertise it. Tako Puppies. Their sashimi plate was okay. The atmosphere in this place was great. Very cool hole in the wall feel. A heads up to anyone under 21: They check IDs at the door but I also got there very late at night and the front part of the restaurant is predominantly a bar with some booths on the right. What you can't see from the front door is that the restaurant extends back a long way. If you happen to be in the area it's definitely worth a try."

"Stopped in for dinner after getting a recommendation to eat here for dinner. We must have gone on a bad day because they were sold out of almost everything. The service was amazing along with the vibe. Definitely a chill bar with mood lighting. The food we tried was good. The drinks were amazing. Definitely worth another try! #aushianasaysyes"

"The Shu Shop has a smallish and delicious menu. This is one of my favorite places to eat before catching a show at the Lyric or Alabama Theatres. My husband loved the vegetarian ramen option and I enjoyed the braised short ribs small plate. We have eaten here several times in the past and the food and drinks have been good every time. Please note, in my opinion, the Shu Shop is a bar with awesome food. The place has more of a bar feel than a restaurant feel. Although, I typically go for the food."
