Hoh Wok Club Lunch at Shokudo

Shokudo is an Asian Bistro that specializes in offering a variety of comfort food favorites from the Orient. We were there for a Hoh Wok Club lunch gathering and got to try a special tasting menu.

Hoh Wok Club, hosted by Eleanor Hoh, also know as the Wok Star, likes to introduce small restaurants with a nice ambience that focus on Modern Asian cuisine. The menu this time offered fresh and beautifully presented dishes that were a delight both for the eyes and the palate.

Chef Armando Litiatco is a brilliant Filipino-American chef from San Francisco, who also cooked in New York at Daniel Boulud’s restaurant and he is the current Chef at Shokudo.

According to Eleanor Hoh:

“Translated as the “the path to good food”, Shokudo offers a relaxing dining experience with the highest quality food. It is easy to fall in love with the culinary concept of Asian fusion at Shokudo.
