Wife and mother-in-law visited here during a trip. They loved the ambiance, nice server, and menu options. Ordered sushi and a few appetizers.

The food was absolutely amazing as expected! We got the flaming young and the meat was his tenders can be! They did all the classic hibachi grill moves, including the volcano.. The rice and chicken were also a very nice pairing. He is also very smooth!

The restaurant has a wonderful vibe to it, and there's a lot of detail. There's a lot to look at, even down to the tabletops, which have city scenes in them. I haven't seen anything like it and was appreciating the effort. The food was good, and there's nothing wrong with a decent meal. If judging off the service and atmosphere, it would be higher rated. Just missing an element to punch it up a bit, but still an awesome place to have a good bite. Be different and try someplace new.

Shogun’s Restaurant truly exceeded all our expectations! Despite being told there was an hour-long wait, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated in just 30 minutes. The experience only got better from there. Diego, our waiter, was absolutely phenomenal. He made sure we were never without a drink or dish and kept us entertained the entire time with his incredible energy and humor. Even though it was an hour past closing, the staff continued to serve us with kindness and professionalism, making us feel valued and welcomed. And let’s talk about the food – absolutely divine! Every bite was packed with flavor, and the quality was outstanding. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and food are top-tier, but Shogun’s nailed it. The wait was well worth it, and I can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable dining experience. Thank you, Diego, and the Shogun’s team!

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was attentive and top notch, the ambiance was fun and lively. A bit loud but that's to be expected with the grill and the fire and the over head fans and vents on the grills. Not unpleasant by any means to us but if you have problems with noise, keep it in mind. We both had Teppanyaki dinner, Filet Mignon with Scallops and fried rice. We also got the Havasu roll sushi. We didn't have any drinks because we had champagne waiting at home but the drinks selection looked divine. Dom was our waiter, he was attentive and sweet. He took our picture for us since it was our 20th anniversary. Sadly I didn't get our chef's name but he did a fantastic job cooking our meals and a fun show. Juggling eggs for the fried rice and an onion volcano. So delicious and so fun. My pics aren't the best because I was trying to just enjoy the experience. It was our first visit but likely won't be our last.

We just had the best dinner for under $40! Highly recommend Sho-Guns Japanese cuisine. We have also enjoyed the hibachi tables although pricier the service and food is excellent. So nice to know you can have a very satisfying meal at a reasonable price and this included a glass of wine and a beer.
