Shu Shop - Birmingham

Not going to even lie this was the best dining experience I've had in a while! Everything was topnotch. Food, servers, drinks, atmosphere/lighting. Everything was A Get the Vegetarian Ramen and Brussel Sprouts ????

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.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid-friendly environment.

Found this delightful spot while in town for a concert at the Alabama Theater. What a great find. Wonderful wait staff: helpful and more than pleasant. The food was wonderful. The snapper stashing is the best! Shared several small plates, everything was excellent and portions nice. Worth your visit!

Fantastic ramen restaurant. I’ve never been specially drawn to ramen, though I do like noodles, and this place was recommended by several friends. It did not disappoint! We ordered kimchi and olives as starters, I think I would’ve preferred the olives to be cold rather than warm but they were tasty. The kimchi was delicious, I haven’t had that so well prepared in a while fresh and tangy flavors! For our main dishes we ordered two different ramen bowls the pork broth one (I don’t remember the names… maybe “daishu” or something to that effect and the seafood one. They were both delicious! I particularly liked my seafood one, as depending on the restaurant, the pork broth just tastes weird to me this was not the case at Shu Shop, they were both very good. The bowl comes with various other toppings depending on the type you ordered, it’s definitely filling even though it doesn’t look like there’s that much food (all that ramen is hiding under the toppings! . Now, would I have loved this much more had there been an option for udon noodles? For sure, but I can’t fault them for that, as they’re advertised as a ramen restaurant. So, although I’d change that to make it even better for myself, what they offer is fantastic, very good quality food, well prepared and served, the staff are very polite, and the place has a dim and really cool/elegant atmosphere. I definitely recommend you try them out, I’ll surely be back when I’m in town next.

It’s unique and stylish restaurant and bar in town. Our food was good, shoyu ramen was wonderful unless you like spicy I highly recommend spicy miso ramen! Snack fried squid was perfect with drinks. There were many ppl at that time. I’ll come back again !Food: 5/5
