I ate at Shokai during a visit to Fairfield. It is delicious. I get sushi but they have other options for non fish eaters. The fish was fresh! I know middle of the country that can be a concern. I had salmon and the color was right, no smell and delicious flavor. Also had spicy tuna. Only 1 ordered a cocktail so it was about 30/pp with 2 appetizers. Highly recommend and will return next time I'm in Fairfield.

I’ve been coming here for years and it is my favorite. The owner does a great job of mixing it up with awesome specials and some of the freshest fish to be found.

I had a very enjoyable experience here. I was seated in a timely manner. The environment was clean and there were a medium amount of people present in various booths and tables. Not too busy, and not too empty. The menu was very clear and easy to understand, with many choices of food items ranging from appetizers, sides, meals, rolls, drinks, and desserts. Once I ordered there was a short wait for my food, not too short, but also not too long. Being by myself gave me time to appreciate the ambiance and see that the wait staff were very skilled in taking care of customers. My food tasted great, and checking out was very simple.

Great date night spot. Usually pretty busy Thursday through Saturday. They have nice specials everyday. Parking can fill up but not a problem plenty of parking on Fairfield’s square. Definitely one of Fairfield’s better places to eat!

What an amazing little place! The sushi was out of this world hands down the best sushi I have ever had and I’ve been to a lot of places all over the U.S! Flavors were on point! I highly recommend the baked salmon roll. It will lot disappoint. Excellent service and super chill atmosphere with great music. You have to check this place out if you’re ever in Fairfield

I can't say enough amazing things about this sushi bar. The fish is very good quality, especially for the Midwest. Make sure you try the fried rice balls. They are soooo tasty.
