Very disappointing expensive experience. We went for a friend's Birthday, with a party of 5. I had the Steak and Chicken combo wife had Steak and Shrimp. The server that sat us was friendly and pleasant. The Chef was much less so. The Miso Soup was delivered luke warm. The Steamed rice was barely warm at all and too dry. Since the fist server forgot to give us chopsticks I asked the Chef for some. Getting them for me was obviously below him and my wife commented on that too. The Steak and Chicken were cut into very dissimilar sized pieces and as a result were not cooked correctly. My Steak, ordered Medium rare was served Medium to medium well. Some of the chicken was over cooked as well. The demeanor of the Chef throughout the meal was as if he was bored with his chosen career... and just going through the motions. For the 2 of us (I did have one $6 Coors light) was $108.00 plus tip. If the experience had been as light and fun as it should have, and the food preparation correctly done that would be a fair price. For our experience... it was a rip. Won't be back.

My wife and I relocated to San Diego from Nashville TN and i must say the East coast does food right! More options, more flavor! We've been to tons of Japanese steakhouse restaurants and they've ALL SUCKED except 1...... This restaurant was great!! Food was terrific and service of course was fun and wacky, but for me... the flavors came together perfectly 👌🏿 and not to mention this place is HUGE! 10/10 from me... and I'm a big boi.. I loves to eat! This will be the only Japanese steakhouse we go to! But don't listen me.... just come try it for yourself

TLDR: Food = Good, Drinks = Bad

Delicious food with a great presentation. The ambiance is nice and not too loud or crouched. We were only offered drinks at the beginning and then nobody ever came again. You want another drink? Get up yourself and go to the bar cause they don’t care. I did see one lady giving water to some people but she skipped our table.

We LOVE Shogun! Great food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly staff. Our kids pick this location for their birthdays every year. The menu offers a variety of steak, shrimp, chicken, and seafood. They also have sushi rolls!!!! The serving portions are big and we usually leave with leftovers. My oooooonly complaint is the difficulty in parking. If you drive a large truck it can be very difficult parking in the lot. It can be best to park on the street and walk if the lot is full. But trust me, it’s worth it!!!!

This was my first time visiting this restaurant to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I also brought my son for his first experience, as he enjoys watching hibachi-style cooking videos. Unfortunately, the chef was very rushed and had minimal interaction with us. He prepared the food quickly and left without much engagement. Additionally, the chicken was undercooked. The chef hardly performed any tricks, and they were so quick that you could easily miss them in the blink of an eye. My son was very disappointed, especially since the chefs at the other tables were entertaining their guests. I wish we had a different chef. Overall, it was a total disaster and left us feeling disappointed.

I went here to celebrate a family member's birthday, and THIS PLACE IS SOOOO GOOD! I love the dinner show performed in front of you, and the food tastes just as good as it looks! The tricks and decorations were great, and they have a really cool birthday song! The one downside is that it's pretty expensive with many people. But I will come here every so often for the food!
