Shoku Opens in West Village from Salina’s Team, Offers Small Plates Menu

• Shoku is located at 603 Hudson St.
• The concept comes from the team behind Salina.
• The restaurant serves small plates with Asian inspiration.

Shoku debuted on June 20 in the West Village, taking over the space at 603 Hudson Street. The 38-seat restaurant is the latest project from the group behind Salina, which operates in Williamsburg.

The menu at Shoku focuses on small plates, drawing from Japanese and other Asian cuisines. Offerings include raw and cooked seafood, vegetable dishes, and several meat options. The beverage program features sake, wine, and a limited cocktail list.

Co-owner Daniel Lee said the goal was to create an environment suitable for both quick bites and longer meals. The design is understated, with a narrow dining room and an open kitchen visible from most seats.

Shoku is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner, with plans to add lunch service later in the year. Reservations are available via Resy. Walk-ins are accepted as space allows.
