Shogun Restaurant

Unfortunately this was the absolute worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Had a reservation for 5 people at 7p, sat our table for an hour, only for the manager to tell us we had to wait another 45 min.

I was excited for my experience for it to only be the worst ever. As a guy who grew up in San Marcos, I will never recommend this spot.

This place is definitely great if you want the Hibachi Cooking experience. They have great chefs, it's family-friendly, offers plenty of seating, a good menu, and overall great service.

However, if you're only looking for sushi or cocktails, the offerings are mediocre and a bit overpriced. The exception is during happy hour, when they offer some decent specials.

🤩 Just had the most EPIC teppanyaki experience at this place! 🍴 Caesar, the chef, was an absolute SHOWMAN! 🔥 The food was, of course, ON POINT, but the real magic was the sizzle, the tricks, and the non-stop energy he brought to the table. I was entertained as much as I was fed 🤣! If you're looking for a night out that's equal parts dinner and show, look

Our family loves coming here for special events. It's not cheap. But the food is very good and we love the chefs cooking at the table. It is pricey, although most places are these days. We always have leftovers, which is nice.

First time here as a military family from Atlanta,Ga.We loved the food, show,customer service and atmosphere.The meat and veggies were seasoned well and they offer noodles with the dinner combinations now so you get rice, noodles a potatoes and broccoli plus the shrimp and regular Veggies.Juan was our cook I really didn't even need the sauces bcuz he seasoned our veggies and meat well And as a Georgian we love our seasonings.My family and I were so happy to find good Asian food in San Diego and in San Marcos. This is gonna become a regular spot for us and we will definitely bring our friends and family when the come and visit us.And other military they do have a discount. The food is better than Benihanas and larger portions. And if you love Lobster tails get the Shogun Special it's worth the price.

A great restaurant for a little show with dinner. Prices are competitive to Benihana. Chefs are entertaining. Fried rice always! Half of us ordered the Wagyu this time with our shrimp. It’s a first for me at teppanyaki spot. As you’d imagine, it was very good. I didn’t bother with the ginger or yum yum sauce. They had a larger variety of veggies - bell pepper and potatoes are new. Dinner also included a small side of noodles. New additions to included offerings according to the chef. A pleasant surprise.
We had an early dinner reservation at 5pm and maybe 3 tables or so were taken. By the time we were done (maybe 6:30pm) the restaurant was full with a few parties waiting for a table.

I had my first experience here for work and it was quite wonderful. We arrived at 11:30am and our Chef was Bobby. All the food was brought out and cooked fresh in front of us. It was a party of 7 and Bobby was very mindful and let us know how he would beaming the food. I was impressed by how good it was. I never know what to expect when having hibachi. My food was made with care amd love (you can tell). Bobby interacted with us amd had a great personality. The menu was huge I may add, about 14 pages, which I was not expecting. Also the cocktail/bar menu phenomenal!! I'd definitely come back, oh, and for 7 people the price was to die for. Maybe it was because we all ordered from the lunch menu but WOW!

Awesome food and staff. Also very enjoyable and entertaining. The whole family loved it ❤️

11 of us went on Sunday for lunch to celebrate a birthday. First time here for all but 2 people. Plan to spend some money as it's fairly high priced. You do not get a lot of food but average amount. Some ordered meals and some appetizers and some sushi. All was displayed nicely. Staff was nice. Gave our friend a birthday dessert the was a slice of pound cake with some whipped cream.
The place is nice inside and very quiet. No music in background. It's nice for a special occasion.
