Shu Shop delivers a moody, hip izakaya experience in Birmingham. Selection of ramens, small plates and cocktails. Place has wide selection of alcohol and service was great and quick. I took the edamame and tuna tataki and both were great and delicious. Food portions was on the smaller side and prices on the higher end but still a fun spot for a night out. Love the decor. Definitely a great place to take a date. I recommend

One of my favorite restaurants in downtown Birmingham. The ambiance is great, not noisy at all and with a very cool vibe. Service is top-notch and the food is amazing. The ramen is cooked to perfection with layers of flavor.

This is definitely one of the best ramen spots in the Birmingham metro area.

On this trip we had the spicy miso ramen, the tonkotsu ramen, the brussel sprouts, and edamame. Our bowls were great. The only issue is the pork was a little tougher than we were expecting. The Brussel sprouts were definitely the highlight. If you are a Brussels fan, these were some of my favorites. The edamame was average. I usually prefer my edamame served warm with some salt, and maybe a little spice. These were served cold with no seasoning.

All and all, it’s definitely a repeat spot.

Heard a lot about this place and did give it a try. The food was amazing but wish the waitress be more polite. We did order for the hot tea and it wasn’t good, which we. Had asked to see if they can take it back. It was a blunt NO , stating it would only be possible if it were not prepared well. The portions were a bit small compared to regular other ramen places.
Over all a good place could be must better with service.

Came in for a late dinner. Ordered multiple things from the menu. Ordered the pups, they were horrible. Strange bitter taste, we both tried to eat them but they were definitely offensive to our palate. I told the waitress multiple times that we did not like them and couldn’t eat them. She never had a response. I spoke with the host about the taste. He then said he would have the manager to come by. The manager never came to the table! He sent a message by the server that it wouldn’t be removed from the check and he was sorry that it wasn’t good. Horrible customer service!!!! Never mind all the other items that we purchased! NEVER AGAIN!!!! Cook good food and maybe this won’t be an issue!

My favorite restaurant in Bham and it’s not even close. I remember they had a lobster ramen on special there a while back and it is literally one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. Love Shu Shop, we’re so lucky to have such a fabulous little spot.

The most stylish restaurant in Birmingham right now, without a doubt. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had, the strawberry vodka/pink peppercorn concoction. Every dish we ordered was divine in both presentation and flavor. Service was fast and friendly. Ambience is dark and cozy. A can’t-miss in Birmingham.

Stopped in for dinner after getting a recommendation to eat here for dinner. We must have gone on a bad day because they were sold out of almost everything. The service was amazing along with the vibe. Definitely a chill bar with mood lighting. The food we tried was good. The drinks were amazing. Definitely worth another try! #aushianasaysyes

This place is amazing and inviting. The Saki was really light and delicious. The kimchi was extremely fresh and flavorful with a nice little kick. I definitely suggest eating it with the seasoned rice. The spicy ramen was also very tasty as the pork had a delicious smoked taste to it. The service was quick and engaging, and the atmosphere is perfect for a quaint date night. If you haven’t been here yet, what are you doing?

The Shu Shop has a smallish and delicious menu. This is one of my favorite places to eat before catching a show at the Lyric or Alabama Theatres. My husband loved the vegetarian ramen option and I enjoyed the braised short ribs small plate.

We have eaten here several times in the past and the food and drinks have been good every time.

Please note, in my opinion, the Shu Shop is a bar with awesome food. The place has more of a bar feel than a restaurant feel. Although, I typically go for the food.
