Amazing food and presentation.

Love their Firecracker sushi! If you have not tried it, you must. They are kind of expensive for Fairfield, though.

Staff was attentive and friendly. She was great with giving us suggestions, as this was our first time; her recommendations were delicious. I would definitely forward on her recommendation to try the rice balls! I'm giving four stars instead of five because our order took 45 to come out, even though there was only one other couple present, and they came in 20 minutes after us.

With one sushi chef, it can be expected that service from the sushi bar will be a little slow. I can get over my 25 min wait.. at least somewhat. What I can't get over is the inconsistent rice texture within the same sushi roll, depending on which portion the piece was from. Some pieces consisted of dry rice that tasted like leftover rice that might even be a tad undercooked. Other pieces had great sushi rice texture and was yummy. The rolls weren't bad (I got 2), but not very memorable other than the poor rice texture. Fish was OK, not the best or the worst I've had. Considering Shokai has 2 locations over in eastern Iowa, perhaps it deserves another chance. Either this was just a fluke experience or eastern Iowans are just not as picky when it comes to sushi.

Coming from Los Angeles, I was really bummed about the potential sushi desert I moved to. Then we found Shokai. We eat here at least once a month and every time we come, the staff is super friendly, the food is prepared and served by people who take pride in what they do, and I have yet to be disappointed by their recommendations. The owner really cares about high quality fish and takes care to get it shipped from reputable suppliers. Their prices are completely fair and it's all worth every penny you spend. Every time we go, we drop at least $100.00 and leave stoked about the whole experience. I really love this place. I highly recommend their sashimi dinner (big, thick slices of a variety of raw fish), whatever the owner recommends for the day, Lam's "Angry Sumo" roll, a tall Sapporo and a Moscow Mule. My only complaint is that they're not open on Sundays!

Terrible service, dirty floors. Disinterested waitresses giving priority to the bar. Waitress can't split a check. The music is too loud, and the chairs are uncomfortable at best. Somebody make a good sushi place in fairfield and run this place out of business. The only good thing that I can say about this place is that the sushi tastes good, but a 12 dollar roll is just highway robbery.

Eating sushi around the world, I'd simply say get better fish and get the food out faster. I see that there are only 9 reviews. More people should review and the owner NEEDS to read them. Yelp is about finding and helping. Sushi quaility is B, should attempt to get A grade fish if possible in Fairfield. Thicker sushi. Sometimes the pieces are paper thin but the prices do not reflect paper thin sushi. I have not receieved my sushi in less than 1.20 hours from time of order. I've eaten here atleast 5 times and the average time from order to eating has been growing. This is highly dissapointing even when the place is half filled, especially if it's not awesome A grade fish In summary, this place is less full everytime I visit each month, but it's the only sushi sit down restaurant in town so help by offering suggestions. I also noticed larger take out orders, which could be the reasons he wait has grown. Suggestion: Hire someone to handle take out orders. A place of this size (table count, bar count and take out) should have 4 sushi shefs on the busy nights minimum and turn their tables 4x per night. A fan wanting you to sustain.

Actually they have really good sushi. . Especially since this is iowa. Try the sashimi diner. .. also the firecracker roll gets good reviews.

Coming from California I'm used to hundreds of sushi restaurants all over the place, so coming to Fairfield only left me with one close place to eat good sushi which was here. Place is a small venue which can fit very little and is no doubt to be packed on weekends. It has that chill sushi lounge vibe which is nice and is the only oriental place I would eat at in town. Come on I'm Asian, so my options here in Fairfield are quite limited but I'm happy with the menu they have. Being Vietnamese I saw they offered pho which is probably the only place in town which serves Vietnamese noodles if you didn't know what that was. I came here on valentine's day ordering the spider roll for myself. The food didn't take too long to come out and when it did it was great. Food is filling for the price and the time they took to make it. It's not cheap on the daily but they do have happy hour which makes it cheaper than usual. The waitresses that I've seen here are really cute and nice, and haven't had any problems with them. I also met the owner who was nice enough to greet me when I ate at the front bar. Also I met the Vietnamese chef who is pretty funny to talk to. Great food if you're craving high quality sushi. They also have karaoke nights too for the 21+ crowd. Overall great sushi joint that didn't disappoint.

Best sushi in south east Iowa. That may sound like I'm damning with faint praise, but it's actually really solid sushi. Love the late night drinking and karaoke too. A little pricey, but I can't imagine it's cheap to get quality fish when we're about as far from an ocean as you can get.

I almost passed on lunch at this place today based on the one very bad review that was posted. I am really glad I ignored it as lunch was quite good. We ran into friends who were just finishing and they said they find the food at Shokai to be the best in town right now. My friend and I both had teriyaki vegetables with tofu and rice. The miso soup that came with this special was very good, the best I have ever had. It was very simple but had a lovely delicate flavor that was new to me. I also had some tempura veggies that were good with a good dipping sauce. The teriyaki veggies were simple but nicely done. $20 plus tip for 2. This is a new place so I am hard pressed to figure out how our experience could be so different from the first poster. The wait staff was competent and pleasant, and the food was good. I'd give this place a try. I'll go back for sure and will try the sushi next time.
