What happened to Shoya?
Shoya was a Japanese Restaurant in Munich with 3 locations in the city. I met them at Japan Fest 2017 and immediately fell in love. They had Takoyaki, amazing curry, unagi, wagyu, just beautiful.
A few years later I went to the restaurant at Platzl and wanted to cry. There were no more Japanese working there, the quality of the food was so bad and the service was a desaster (turned off music 3 hours before closing time, forgot starters, reacted extremely unfriendly when we asked for our order). Afterwards I posted a review on google that got deleted by the owner, because I claimed they sold the place to Vietnamese (which I looked up at Northdata before). Now their website doesn't even have an imprint anymore to look who owns the business.
To be clear: I love Vietnamese people and their cuisine! But it seems the new shoya owners don't want anyone to know about their background. I guess because they still advertise with authentic japanese food at shoya. Which unfortunately isn't the case. I just wish they would have been open about the rebranding and didn't fight with their customers about their reviews. I want to trust the people I go to for eating. And I miss the old Shoya.
Does anyone have similar experiences with Shoya? And recommendations for an alternative in Munich?
