Shodo, the recently opened sushi concept from Route 62 Hospitality (PakPao and El Bolero) has launched hot entrees on their menu to complement their sushi options.
These new additions were created by Shodo Chef Malik Cantu who has previous experience at Knife Steakhouse as Chef de Partie and Executive Sous Chef. From there, Chef Malik had a successful tenure at Harwood Hospitality, advancing from the role of Executive Sous Chef to Executive Chef within seven months.
Guests can now enjoy dishes such as the Giant Sea Scallops – yuzu beurre blanc, emberred edamame, scallion oil; Hanger Steak – Akaushi hanger, king trumpet mushroom, yakiniku demi; Shodo Big Rib – Japanese stick sauce, cilantro, sesame, pickled fresno, yuzu kosho; Kinoko Bucatini – mushrooms, chili flakes, furikake, scallions; Atlantic Salmon with Japanese curry, grilled bok choy and smoked roe; Duck with plum sauce served with Japanese sweet potato; and Katsuobushi Fettuccini – onsen egg, scallions and bonito flakes.
To pair with these mouthwatering entrees, Shodo offers a beautifully crafted and fresh cocktail program offering fresh Japanese flavor profiles and ingredients with cocktails such as The Moon and The Sun – Mathilde pear liqueur, Absolut pear vodka, cherry, soda; Japanese Espresso Martini – nigori sake, Kahlua, espresso, amaretto, chocolate bitters; Ichigo Shishito – shishito-infused Haku vodka, strawberry, lemon; and Green Eyes – Roku gin, St. Germain, matcha, lemon.
The restaurant also features an extensive, thoughtfully selected sake and Japanese whiskey offering along with a broad wine list.
The 4,000 square foot space emphasizes the authenticity and purity of the concept with the bar and a few other areas showcasing samurai culture, nods to ancient culture including artwork in the bathrooms, a private omakase room with a zen and buddha theme, and a large, striking snow monkey mural with a nod to Jigokudani, a small town in Tokyo where they live.
The main dining room offers seating for 60, bar seating for 20, 10 seats at the sushi bar, an omakase room with 12 seats and a private dining room for up to 40 people. The omakase room allows guests to enjoy special curated coursed dinners within the privacy of their own room.
Shodo is open for happy hour and dinner. To make reservations call 214-764-2961 or book on Resy.
