About Shoji

At SHOJI, we are driven by a deep passion for hospitality and the art of creating memorable guest experiences. Located in FiDi/SOMA, our space transitions throughout the day from a refined specialty coffee and ceremonial matcha destination into a chic, high energy evening bar and restaurant.

Our dinner program features Japanese and Thai inspired cuisine, an extensive selection of Japanese spirits, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. We are building a team of kind, professional, and ambitious individuals who take pride in delivering exceptional service.
