Shobosho

confidence 50% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu features fish, prawn, and crab prominently, including the Shō Yakitori menu which is centred on grilled chicken but also offers salmon and prawn skewers. The banquet menu includes multiple seafood dishes. While no dedicated pescatarian section exists, the abundant seafood options make it easy to assemble a pescatarian meal, though meat-based broths or shared fryers may apply. Call ahead to confirm.

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

Shobosho is listed as offering gluten-free options on several aggregator sites and the venue's own menus say they can cater to most dietary restrictions if you call ahead. However, the menu pages themselves do not mark any dishes GF. A recent TripAdvisor report describes a coeliac diner being assured gluten-free options were available, then told none of the desired GF dishes could be served, followed by a dispute over the bill. This indicates staff handling of gluten-free requests is inconsistent and unreliable.

Honest caveat: One TripAdvisor review (Sept 2025) documents a coeliac diner promised GF options, then told none were available, and faced an aggressive billing dispute when trying to leave.

Vegan options are listed on aggregator sites and one TripAdvisor review mentions a positive experience with vegan dishes. The official menu pages have no vegan markings, and the Shō Yakitori menu explicitly states it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The banquet menu includes non-vegan ingredients like egg yolk, parmesan, and crab. Advance notice is required.

The banquet menu lists hazelnuts in one dessert dish, but no nut-free marking or protocols are mentioned. The generic 'call ahead' policy is the only accommodation signal.

No dedicated dairy-free options are advertised on the official menus. The banquet menu lists parmesan and buttermilk as ingredients. The generic 'call ahead' policy applies, but there is no specific signal that the kitchen can handle dairy-free requests reliably.

No halal certification or marking is mentioned. The banquet menu lists pork-free ingredients on some dishes but also serves alcohol alongside. The generic 'call ahead' policy is the only accommodation signal; the venue is unclear on halal practice.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.

Soy is not mentioned on any menu or in any review. The only positive signal is the generic 'can cater to most dietaries' statement, which is too thin to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead to inquire.

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.

Shobosho is listed as having vegetarian options by aggregators, but the official Shō Yakitori menu page states it is 'not recommended as suitable for vegetarians or vegans' because Yakitori means grilled chicken. The banquet menu lists non-vegetarian proteins heavily. The venue's claim of catering to 'most dietaries' is contradicted by this explicit exclusion on one of its own menus, making it unreliable for vegetarians.

Honest caveat: The official Shō Yakitori menu explicitly says 'not recommended as suitable for vegetarians or vegans'.
