About SHOKUDŌ

Discover Japanese comfort food with a creative twist — crafted for unforgettable events. At SHOKUDŌ, eatery is more than a word , it’s our ethos. Inspired by Japanese culture and the joy of sharing simple, soulful food, we bring the spirit of Japan's comfort dishes to life in London. Our mission is to elevate everyday ingredients into show-stopping meals, while making every guest feel genuinely cared for. Our signature dish is Chicken Oyako Don : a crowd favourite at corporate events and weddings alike. Tender chicken simmered in a sweet-savoury sauce, paired with softly scrambled eggs and vibrant pickles, all served on pillowy rice. Vegetarian guests are just as well looked after, with a plant-based version that’s equally comforting. Looking for something a little different? Our prawn cheese sando and krispy kinpira sides are guaranteed to win hearts (and appetites). Every dish is freshly cooked on-site, delivering a feast for both the eyes and the palate. We specialise in stress-free, flexible catering for busy event planners. From corporate launches and conferences to weddings and summer parties, we make Japanese comfort food accessible, memorable, and effortlessly enjoyable — wherever you need us. Our compact electric street-food setup is clean, efficient, and ideal for city venues and sustainability-minded events. Known for our warm service, reliability, and beautifully photogenic food, SHOKUDŌ creates experiences guests will still be talking about long after the event ends.

Our Story

With roots in Hong Kong and experience living in Australia, Christine and Joe offer a distinct international flair to their cuisine. Joe transitioned from a banking career to pursue his culinary passion, becoming SHOKUDŌ's dedicated chef. Together, they created SHOKUDŌ based on their mutual appreciation for Japanese culture, simple ingredients, and the happiness that comforting food brings. The Meaning Behind Our Name The term SHOKUDŌ translates to “eatery” in Japanese—an establishment where genuine, satisfying meals are served with warmth and care. This philosophy is central to our mission. We believe that exceptional food should be uncomplicated and unpretentious. By respecting ingredients, focusing on detail, and applying thoughtful craftsmanship, we transform everyday dishes into memorable experiences. Our Menu Philosophy Our menus highlight vibrant Japanese street food with a modern twist—fresh, crowd-pleasing offerings that are both comforting and visually appealing. Signature dishes like Chicken Oyako Don, featuring fluffy rice, tender chicken, and soft eggs in a sweet-savory sauce, have become favorites at markets and events. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to be satisfying, approachable, and bursting with flavour. Bringing Japanese Eatery Culture to London SHOKUDŌ embodies the essence of Japanese eatery culture, crafting immersive comfort food experiences that elevate ordinary gatherings. Whether for a staff lunch, a visit to a street-food market, or a grand celebration, our goal remains constant: to provide food that makes people feel happy and cared for.
