Nut allergy friendly - Only one entree has chestnuts, but the AYCE is nut free! Arrived on Monday at 9:20PM and there was no wait. People trickled in while I was there and it was always moderately full, but slowed down after 10:30. Always fun to hear the welcome in Japanese from the staff. The music is a tad loud depending on where you sit but I found it fine. Food comes out real fast. Tamagoyaki came out in 3 minutes. Faster than my green tea (11 minutes, they steep it). Skewers took about 12 minutes starting, up to 20ish, depending on what you order. So you can probably fit in 4-6 orders with the 90min time limit. I got in five before I called it a day, could have gotten in six. I went with the AYCE and ordered the following: Japanese Green Tea: Not sure what kind of tea they use but it's a little fruity and very tasty. Pretty big pitcher too. I think you get 9-10 cups out of it if not more. Tamagoyaki (4/5): Lightly sweet, firm, and comes out cold. Great palette cleanser or opener. Momo Skewer (3/5): Nice char to balance the tenderness. Ordered with tare to keep the salt down and it was a tad bland, but I was also getting overpowered by the tea. Gyusuji Skewer (3.5/5): This is basically a lot of fat, so you've got to like the texture. It's pretty good and they cooked it right, not too chewy. Shiitake Skewer (4/5): Two mushroom caps, deliciously charred, not as salty as I expected. Takoyaki (3.5/5): So fair warning this comes out burn-your-mouth hot. They nailed the texture but it's a little lacking in octopus, too much other filling. Five pieces is also way too much for one person lol. Goma Tofu (4/5): Comes out cold with a delicious umami tahini sauce. Pretty big portion for one person haha. Saikyo Miso Beef Skewers (4.5/5): Order a few of these. I had 3. Some pieces are chewier than others but the good ones are seriously good. The miso detracts a bit from the beef but it is overall a good compliment. Mune Niku Skewer (3.5/5): As expected, a little drier than the chicken thigh but still not overcooked. Zucchini Skewers (4.5/5): Man, this is simple but so good. Like a kabob roasted zucchini perfectly balanced by green onion (I think?) and salt. I also ordered 3 of these. I'm inspired to try making them this way now lol. Beef Udon (4.5/5): Nice thinly sliced salty beef, served with cold tofu that I dunked in the soup and it absorbed flavor well. Thankfully a smaller portion in the AYCE. I really liked the balance and broth here. I think I actually liked this more than the Yakitori... Service: 5/5 stellar. My water was never empty. These guys run on a skeleton crew and keep the efficiency going. I swear they're always busy between napkins and plates being cleared and tables being speed wiped. Overall, solid late night spot, great date spot because the tables are separated by wooden partitions for a cozy vibe. Probably a 4.5/5. Honestly the udon was so good that I'd probably skip the AYCE next time and try their entrees.

What a surprise? We were not expecting such an affordable, but excellent Japanese meal in Washington. Luckily we found Shinya Shokudo and we were able to eat late night after our flight landed at 11pm. You order through a QR code on your phone and the food is promptly brought out! Huge selection although they were out of a couple items, but it was late at night. We ate the sukiyaki which comes individually and was excellent, flavorful, and portions were great for the price. We also ordered many small plates to share and would definitely have gone back if we had more time!

We heard about Shinya Shokudo's AYCE yakitori from a few friends and wanted to try it out ourselves. We're a big AYCE fan so we came with empty stomachs. Well we were so excited that we came to the restaurant 30 minutes too early for the AYCE ($35), because it begins at 9pm! While we were waiting, Kim, our waiter, was super friendly and helped us understand how the process worked. He gave us his favorite recs and also gave us tips on how to strategically eat to more skewers. We really appreciated his contagious energy and awesome service! We were given 90 minutes to eat as much as we wanted. The skewers ranged from chicken to beef to pork to vegetables. You can only order 3 per person per round, so keep that in mind. Some skewers came out as a pair, while others came out as a single. I wish they had clearly written that on the menu, so we knew how much we were getting. In addition, the wait to get your food each round depends on how many people are in the restaurant, so if it's a busy night, expect a lot of wait time in between rounds. Overall, skewers were cooked well, and as a result, the meats were still tender and juicy. We preferred the skewers with the sauce, as it helped cut the fattiness of some of the cuts. The appetizers were also part of the AYCE, and they were great to help change up our palette. I enjoyed the different varieties but beware, some of the appetizer sizes are huge.
