    Always an amazing experience at Shu. Was pleasantly surprised and happy to see a completely different menu this time. This was definitely our favourite registration from Shu so far! They were also very accommodating with allergens. Shu is a must try for everyone whether you’re vegan or not!

    An absolutely lovely restaurant, where the service was completely outstanding and the food truly delightful; it was the perfect venue for Lunar New Year. The ONE thing we noticed is that it did take quite awhile for the next dishes to come out - so wasn't quite "all you can eat".
