Reception
In her review of the restaurant, Jaime Ee of The Business Times rated the restaurant 7 out of 10, stating that, "Shoukouwa's strength instead lies in its raw ingredients, which almost makes up for the chef's lack of polish and the restaurant's dire need of a more authentic ambience.". Writing for The Straits Times, Food critic Wong Ah Yoke stated, "I'd recommend Shoukouwa to those with deep pockets and want a change from other sushi restaurants.", in his review of the restaurant. In his review of the restaurant, Azimin Saini of Lifestyle Asia stated, "After having visited too many premium sushi-yas that seemingly serve identical dishes with zero distinguishing qualities, one can fully appreciate how Shoukouwa stands head and shoulders above the rest." Iliyas Ong of Time Out rated the restaurant three out of five stars, stating, "The seafood and the flavours here are on point. A pity, though, about the rice." Tatler Asia rated the restaurant 4 stars out of 5.
