Vibe: Exquisite ambience, misguided music
The kitschy decor and courteous staff of Shabuya create an appealing backdrop for your culinary adventure. With an expansive drinks menu, and picture perfect environment, it sure is a buzz creator. However, the music is unnecessarily discordant and the views, ironically, lackluster, making it a dubious choice for a date.
Great Buzz
Beautiful garden entrance is perfect for photogenic, Instagram-worthy moments.
Bad To Entertain
Music too loud at times, overshadowing the dining conversation experience.
Perks: Convenience overshadowed by noise
Shabuya offers numerous perks. Valet parking, easy reservations, an accommodating and inclusive menu, along with spacious outdoor seating, make it convenient for just about anyone foolhardy enough to venture inside. However, the noisy setting coupled with a less than stellar staff and an unwelcoming attitude towards service animals, leaves a bit of a sour aftertaste.
Great For Groups
Efficiently caters to large parties with spacious seating and good service.
Hard To Hear
Overly loud music, disruptive noise levels, not suitable for conversations.
