                                          Shojo in Boston offers "amazing ambience" and an "insane" dining experience with standout dishes like the Shojonator burger. Guests rave about the "consistently great food and drinks" and the "fun place" with "interesting menus." While reservations are essential, occasional service hiccups don't overshadow the "immaculate vibes."

                                            Excellent service, delicious mocktails, but the food was subpar. The shadowless fries tasted super off, like there was some alcohol in the kimcheese that didn’t quite burn off or meld with the other flavors. Burger was fine but way overcooked. Pork belly bao buns were 95% pork fat. I’s come here again for drinks but definitely not dinner.

I finally tried the Shojonator and it was top 5 burgers I've ever had. I will keep coming back and tell anyone and everyone to try it!!!

                                            We had a reservation before a theatre event on Saturday. I had received several reminders about my upcoming reservation and when we arrived, the restaurant was closed.

                                            Disappointing service! We were given a table right next to the kitchen in the back while there were lots of other tables available closer to the entrance/window. It was hard to take because of the noise. I asked to change tables and was told “no” with an explanation that they can’t change things in the system, which is clearly not true. Then we were told to leave in 1 hour 15 mins, so we were basically chased away and had to find another place to continue our outing. Don’t recommend, unless you are there to grab a quick bite.
