“Excellent food and sides, in a family friendly atmosphere. I had the beef ribs and brisket. Both were delicious, tender and moist. The sides are great, my favorite is the potatoes in seasoned honey. This is a perfect place for families or groups of friends. I’m already looking forward to the next visit!”

“By far the biggest best burritos in the area. I recommend the steak or chorizo. Very clean nice small grocery section. We get burritos here often and usually we cannot finish them.”

“Shakou does look beautiful from the outside,but I was not impressed with food. First of all, everything could use some extra touch, either more seasoning or more attention to how the food exits the kitchen. The calamari were more on the chewy side, and the spicy dipping sauce wasn't remarkable. On the other hand, the nachos with the spicy tuna dip were really good. For our entrée we ordered a Tokyo steak with a potato croquet and sautéed vegetables and Sapporo NY steak with jumbo shrimp. Unfortunately, Tokyo steak was not cooked properly as I ordered a medium well steak,but it came out medium. Our server took it back to the kitchen to fix it,but in the meantime, everything else on the plate got cold. The veggies were fresh but did not have any bold flavors. Still, as a courtesy, our server offered we would not have to pay for the Tokyo steak. It was a nice gesture, and it came as a surprise. The Sapporo steak was much better than the Tokyo steak. The accompanying shrimp were cooked perfectly, and they had a delicious glaze on top. Overall, the food was okay, but it could have been better considering the high ratings. Finally, I think that the music that was played at Shakou completely did not match the classic/elegant/Asian atmosphere of the restaurant. I believe that there are better choices than electronic dance music that would go well with the relaxing feel of Shakou..”

“Been here twice and the quality of the food has been incredible. Beautifully spiced and precisely cooked. Have had the hot pot, pork bao, mapo tofu and spinach so far and would recommend any of them.”

“Last week was my 2nd visit here and I'd be here every week if I lived in Logan Square because I love charcuterie and cheese 🧀 boards for dinner. I arrived here during their happy hour so I chose a simple three cheese board with olives 🫒 bread 🍞 almonds grapes 🍇 jam vegetables and extremely delicious cheeses. I also picked the mussels on toast points from the happy hour menu. Everything was extremely tasty and very generously portioned. Alex was my server and he had a great enthusiasm and passion for everything. I also picked a housemade strawberry 🍓 gelato for dessert 🍨 which was creamy and bursting with natural strawberries. Highly recommend this adorable wine 🍷 bar/charcuterie Cafe if you love meats 🍖 and cheeses. Great atmosphere and there is an adjacent speakeasy which offers its own unique menu of drinks 🍸 and snacks.”

“Nestled in Chinatown by the border of Pilsen, the restaurant is located in a building/mini mall with other shops. The restaurant has a very sleek and modern aesthetic with hints of Asian influence. We were seated in one of their booths which was very room and spaced out well from the other booths. We had our own server cook our assortment of meats and veggies. We decided to do the carnivorous spread which was a great selection of various types of meats including some wagyu. Includes some veggies, sushi, soup and white rice. Everything was incredibly delicious and the service impeccable. Their cocktails were perfectly concocted as well. Overall a 12/10 experience”
