We tried this place after reading some of the reviews across various reviewing websites. We took the kids with us too as they have never experienced anything like this. Place was not too busy. Perfect for us. We all had the hibachi of some sort. All was good there. Big portions for the price. The soup was nothing great but drinkable. Salad was not edible at all. Watered down yum yum sauce is not a good substitute for a normal salad dressing. Also our son got too close to the cooking area and got his thumb burnt. No help from staff to correct the problem with ice or extra napkins. We had to get up and get it all on our own from across the restaurant. Would we go back....maybe without our son but hard to tell as this experience wasn't the best but not the worst.

Fantastic! We ordered sushi, get the volcano roll. We sat at the hibachi table and enjoyed the chef cooking for us. Our rice, noodles, vegetables, and filet mignon were cooked to perfection. We had a birthday and took a cake, the waitress put the cake in a cooler for us and then brought it out with a lighter, plates, and forks which was very nice. Great experience.

Went to pick up shogun to go got salad with no dressing, no complimentary shrimp, and the food tasted like nothing with 0 flavor. It was dry and not seasoned at all. My bowl of cereal had more flavor then this. I have eaten here before and not had terrible experiences. However, this time was an expensive lazily made meal.

The hibachi chef was the least entertaining chef I've ever seen in a Japanese steakhouse. The hibachi food was mediocre. The sushi was delicious tho.

had hubby's birthday there with all our kids 14 all together. the staff took care of everyone , so polite, friendly and fun. I recommend this place for sure

I took my two kids out tonight and service was ok but kind of rushed through. There was another couple sitting next to us (caucasian) well we all recieved our bills and the waitress added 15% gratuity to our bill and not theirs. Only after I asked why(i always tip) did thenwaitress graby check and removed it.We were all in awe of what happened. The waitress just walked away. Needless to say no tip was added. I am lefy wondering if this only happens to minorities there? Shameful.

Great experience. High priced but good quality of food. Will be back.

Enjoyed everything about my visit the service and the food it was just a very good experience thank you

Very friendly atmosphere; first time ever eating here. I never eat a lot so I ordered a couple of side orders for myself. The steak was very chewy and not very tender. My husband ordered fried rice with shrimp, steak and vegetables. He really enjoyed it. Our server was super nice. My food was cold by the time it came out and my husbands was steaming hot. I don't think I would eat here again! It's was something new and different for us. I can find an overpriced meal someplace else and still have my dinner hot when it comes out!

The food is amazing! It is a must go! The Chief are amazing!
