San Francisco's Yakiniku Shodai: Delicious Wagyu, But Is It Worth the Price?

San Francisco's Yakiniku Shodai: A Luxurious but Pricey Anniversary Dinner Couples celebrating a special occasion may find themselves drawn to the upscale ambiance and high-quality Wagyu beef offered at Yakiniku Shodai in downtown San Francisco. Recently, one diner, Celine, documented her experience on social media, sharing both the delights and drawbacks of the Shodai tasting menu. "It was date night, but not just any date night," Celine explained, celebrating her second anniversary with her boyfriend. The $150 tasting menu offered a variety of Australian and Japanese Wagyu cuts, prepared expertly by the restaurant's chefs. "The meats were super tender and marbled to perfection," she raved. However, she also noted that the portion sizes were somewhat small considering the price. Despite the portion size, Celine praised the overall quality of the food and the attentive service. Her boyfriend even discovered that many of the servers were Taiwanese, adding a cultural element to the experience. Yakiniku Shodai offers a luxurious dining experience for those willing to splurge, but future diners might want to consider the portion sizes in relation to the price point.
