A friend took us to Shu whilst we were visiting him in Belfast, this is his go to restaurant and once you walk in, you could understand why. Decoration is simple, settings are comfortable and light, the menu is not over complicated and the staff are very friendly. The food is excellent, though with the steaks that we ordered, they hadn't quite cooked them quite right, still they gave us a a free dessert. I would certainly head back and try if I am in Belfast again.
Very good quality Lisburn Road restaurant. Excellent service and great food. Surprisingly there’s a little speakeasy vibe bar in the basement. One of the highlights on the culinary map of Belfast.
Best dinner we've had in [Northern] Ireland! Excellent duck, excellent lamb, excellent accompaniments, great wine pairing recommendation, and wonderful service. Thank you!
Really good food! We visited on a Sunday evening. Service was attentive and casual. We ordered the chicken gochujang and gnocchi from the regular menu and oyster mushrooms and cauliflower dish from the vegan menu. The vegan dishes were the best we have had in S. and N. Ireland. Highly recommend!
What a lovely restaurant. We stumbled across this place and glad we did! Excellent food. Great service, just the right amount of attentiveness.
Probably the best desert I've ever had too!
Great service and an interesting menu - lunch a la carte is certainly worth your time. Ox cheeks with pasta and Pernod onions, confit duck leg with the smoothest mash imaginable and caramelised kale, and a wickedly indulgent chocolate ganache with almonds and miso. Wines are a tad overpriced for what they are but a great experience.
Had a lovely time. Has a special occasion but relaxed vibe.
Set menu for lunch made it quite affordable. To be honest the mushroom pasta I had was disappointedly quite bland, but the server made up for it by giving me a sample of the curry which I should have had. It's my fault for being a vegetarian really
Took a friend here for their birthday lunch. Had not been to Shu in well over a decade. Lovely decor and a nice welcome. The menu was varied and food delicious including beef tartare for starter, slow cooked lamb for main and pistachio and olive oil cake for dessert which was a revelation. At the end, asked for the bill and the waitress said she would get it but no rush to us to have to get up and leave now we were finished which was nice. Don't know why I hadn't been here in so long but I will definitely come back.
My mum and I enjoyed a delicious meal earlier this month. Food was superb and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding, staff were welcoming and very attentive. I honestly couldn’t fault anything and we can’t wait to come back. Keep up the fab work!
Definitely my best meal ever in Belfast. All the courses are wonderfully delicious. The staff is great, kind and accessible, very professional. Only 2 things to improve, it is lightly too hot in the room and the waiting between the courses is a bit long but still ok. The prices are lower than same quality restaurants in France. 5 stars absolutely deserved.
Really happy to find such an outstanding restaurant in the 'student' area of Belfast. Atmosphere was fantastic, staff were excellent, and the food selection and quality were really outstanding. This was a Michelin recommended restaurant in the past but certainly deserves to be given the accolade again given the quality of the food being presented.
Went for lunch with my wife. Got tricked into having the 'still' water, once I committed he mentioned the tap water. Used this technique on all customers.
I felt the soup I had was over seasoned, didn't taste like potato and leek. It was lovely, especially the wee cheese scone on the side. My wife had the Korean Chicken, it's hot!
We both went for the steak frites. Two options pink or well done. My wife went for pink, I went for well done as I didn't want to risk having any red in mine. Thankfully my well done steak came out with a bit of pink, it was lovely. It was smothered in pepper sauce. Maybe ask for it on the side as it's very strong (even without biting into the whole peppercorns. Again, it was but I think too much seasoning again.
My wife loves this place, but I'm not sure if I'll be in a hurry to go back.
Lovely, well presented food. Staff were very attentive & friendly. No complaints at all.

Was very tasty, will definitely be back, the bed was among the best I've had (would have went a little heavier with the horseradish, but that's my preference), the pork fat was like butter and the squid was Unbelievable.
Our only complaint is a bottle of water. We asked for a picture of water and were brought a out a bottle. It was already open and poured straight into our glasses without any further questions. We assumed that this was maybe just the done thing at Shu, but then the table next to ours was brought out a picture. We Explained the miscommunication and were then brought out tap water.
The bottled water was warm and really didn't taste any different than the tap water, which was colder than room temperature at least.
When the bill came we found that the unwanted, warm bottle was £4.50. If you're going to charge that much for a bottle of water, it should at least be chilled.
Rather than complain we just took the cost out of what would have been left as a tip. We will be back eventually as the food was delicious, but will be very clear when asking for water that we want a jug of cold tap-water, not a £5 bottle that's been kept in the heat of the kitchen, and opened and poured into our glasses before we have a chance to explain the misunderstanding.
Had an excellent meal and thanks to our server on the day a very enjoyable experience, from wine selection to attention to detail with our food.
It was a memorable meal and lost of interaction with our server with plenty of humour, just great!
Excellent food and service. I had the roast duck and the squid.
The food was delicious! Although I didn’t like the cocktails much!
Excellent all round. Quick friendly and attentive service. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Wide selection of wines. Great atmosphere- maybe a bit noisy
