If I could give this restaurant more stars I would! We have never had a bad experience and we are frequent flyers. They are delightful to us, our children, and even an occasional larger parties. The food is always of the highest quality and comes out in a timely fashion. Staff is welcoming and ambiance is perfect. Background music is never too loud and it feels cozy.

Date Night We realized we hadn't been to Shokunin in over a year 😮. Probably because it's so easy to go overboard and order All The Things. Decided to have a dinner splurge. My husband dreams about the Karaage here (fried chicken) as well as the Pork Katsu. It would probably be his choice for his Last Meal 😆. He also got some Spicy Edamame and a Spicy Rainbow Roll. After seeing a tray full of Sashimi leaving the Sushi Bar he treated himself to the Blue Fin Tuna Belly 🤑. It melted in his mouth, he was ln Love! Obligatory carafe of Hot Sake throughout the meal. I started with the Veggie Tempura. My favorite roll is the Bay Scallop Tempura roll, they pop in your mouth with bursts of sweetness! Also the Gyuri Special Roll which is veggies wrapped in cucumber. A Veggie Hand Roll as well that I ended up taking home. Finished with a Malibu Strawberry Bay Breeze. Our server Jason has been there forever and helped us many times. He always does a Great job! Two hours later we called it quits. My husband had a nice assortment of leftovers for lunch the next day. There is no better Sushi Joint in Lincoln. Highest quality every time! *****Originally posted to EAT IT in Lincoln, NE *****

Great atmosphere. Good music. Good cocktails. Clean. I personally didn’t like the ramen, didn’t have enough flavor, egg with runny yolk, clomped noodles 🍜
