Very happy with this place. Had multiple sushi dishes, all excellent. Lo mein is also great. Hot and sour soup is the best in Andover. Draft beer is a bit pricey, though ($9 for a Sam Adams Cold Snap) and the Kung Pao has waaaaaaay too much celery. Service is top notch and the interior is friendly and inviting. Lots of TVs if you want to watch a game. Prices are reasonable for downtown Andover

We visited Sho You a few times and it is OK. We sat at the bar each time and the bar staff ate at the bar and were inattentive each visit. Mai Thai's are about triple the price you should pay for well drinks and and pints of Sam Adams are more expensive at Sho You than they are in Boston, very pricey for what it is. Sushi and Sashimi is good, rolls are OK. They have a few mid week specials that are a good value. The re-design of the interior is nice.

Really great sushi and great cocktails! I loved their variety as well, and the fact the sushi menu came with pictures. We took Queens special, Andover maki, and Christmas maki, and loved them in that order. Loved my blue Hawaiian too. Overall, this place has a good vibe. The only thing I'd warn others about is: if you don't like noisy environments, please don't visit this place after 9.30pm on weekends, unless you wanna torture yourself with people singing horribly and at the top of their voices at the karaoke. I mean karaokes are fun, but not when all the tables in the restaurant have a microphone. It would have been better if the microphone was passed on to only the table requesting that particular song (I gotta admit, the whole restaurant singing out of tune felt like noise pollution after a certain while). But no complaints with the food - 1 sushi dish and 1 drink would be around $30-$35ish per person.

Wow! What a great place. Food was very good, but it’s the service that stands out. Gina and Kris are awesome. So attentive and welcoming. The manager Scott, greeted us as we walked in and checked in the customers. We will definitely be back!

Staff was wonderful- kind, efficient, and accommodating. Food was excellent too! We had a table of 13- 8 teenagers and 5 adults. They were so kind to such an energetic group!

Food was really good, so we're the drinks. They had music request but the guy was running around doing everything. A bit more help for him would be nice. Everything else was spot on, karaoke at night and a stage and parking out front.

First time here. Seems like they worked out the issues from the earlier reviews when they first opened. Very good service. Good vibe - had holiday lighting and booth was cozy. We had the spring rolls, kung pao chicken, and the Christmas maki roll. Everything was really good!
This place was so much fun. The servers were on point s well. The drinks were drinks.

Great spot. Great value. Friendly service and a cool neighborhood vibe in a very creative, vibrant atmosphere. On karaoke nights, it’s loud, but it’s fun. If loud music (and questionable singing) isn’t your thing, come before 9:30pm and you’ll be fine.

The Pu Pu Platter was pretty good but the sushi gave me tummy troubles all night. I tried the Una Avo and the Philadelphia roll, which were $9 each on Door Dash. They were definitely subpar and combined with the gastrointestinal issues make them not worth it.

Food was probably one of the worst I have had. Maybe I was just the lucky one?
