Shogun Japanese Restaurant

The food is lovely, tastes like authentic, homemade old school Japanese food. We got the agedashi tofu (nice broth) which was a good portion, and the miso eggplant which was a bit smaller (bit too sweet). The eel sushi was simple and tasty. You got the Japanese ojiisan and obachan cooking it up and serving all on their own on this Saturday night. The atmosphere is relaxing and homey. The service is friendly by obachan, but my only critique is that she needs some help. There were a few tables including ours, waiting awhile to get our check. Otherwise we would take the short drive out to eat here again. I recommend eating here if you have time to sit and relax and enjoy your meal, but not if you need a grab n go.

Nice local spot serving authentic japanese food in a cozy setting. Ito-san’s sushi is second to none and always worth a stop when we are in the area!

Great, authentic sushi place run by Japanese family. Can’t believe I hadn’t been here before as I live nearby, but it looks so unassuming.

Our favorite Japanese restaurant and one of the first in metro West Boston. We have been going there for over 30 years and the quality of the food remains the best.

I was looking for sushi for pick-up in the area and stumbled on this humble restaurant. We ordered the Special for Two and the quality of the food is definitely gonna lure us back here.

Food: Everything in the platter we ordered was high quality and highlighted the unique tastes of the fish. Even the simple rolls like the yellowtail and the california carried their weight and really revealed how good they can be with a little extra care.

Atmosphere: I can’t say too much because I didn’t dine in, but the decor was simple and inviting.

Service: The staff that greeted me did so with a smile and the short exchange was as pleasant as can be. To top it off, the sushi chef was clearly enjoying his work and was doing it all with a smile as well.

The sushi was delicious and they were very respectful of my food allergies. Not pictured but we also got the eel rice plate and the chicken udon, which we all enjoyed! Servings were very generous and all the employees were friendly and accommodating.

This was some of the best sushi I’ve had! The fish for the nigiri sushi was very fresh and tasty. The couple running the show are very nice and it seems that all the dishes are made with the utmost care and attention. Will definitely go again!

Dined here on a Sunday night around 7pm. Two other families wrapped up before our food came and nobody else entered the restaurant after that, so we were the only ones sitting there for the majority of the time. The place has a cozy atmosphere with Japanese language books in the entrance and lots of traditional paintings, although admittedly it felt pretty dead for a weekend night (this seemed to be an issue with the entire block, which are the furthest businesses west before the I-90 entrance/exit ramps).There were dirty dishes and receipts on the tables when we entered, but the restaurant was highly understaffed (only one guy working there) so this can be excused. The food took a while because of this but it was excellent, with medium-large portions and pricing in line with other Japanese restaurants in the area. Would definitely come back on a Fri/Sat night, and wish there were more employees!

Parking: There are a few spots directly in front of the restaurant, although they are shared with the other businesses on the same block. If those spots are occupied (and this hasn't been an issue so far), there is plenty of parking nearby.

Ito is the very best. He is so kind, funny and takes great pride in his work. The sushi is always fresh and his prices are very reasonable. His presentation is wonderful. Don’t miss this experience.

I graduated from Newton North in 1996. Now I am back in Tokyo. Shogun serves real Sushi and I enjoyed time to time. It’s not a fake SUSHI.

Tasty beef soup (Sukiyaki). Very friendly owners. The interior may benefit from some professional designers.

Kid-friendliness: Brightly lit, has children books and some cartoon running on one of the TVs.
