My husband and I brought our daughter there for her 6th Birthday expecting a great experience. Let me tell you it was anything but that! After being seated and saying hello to the nice family that was seated beside us our drink orders were taken. Then out of the blue the manager decides to seat a disheveled, stumbling Drunk in... more

Beware. This place is fun (only Japanese teppan place in San Diego) but please be advised that the quality of the food can be less than mediocre and even unhealty/rotten there. We had been there a couple times (more for the fun ambiance than for the food itself) but last time we went with our Christmas Holidays visitors from out... more

My wife and I have eaten here at least 5 times, usually with friends or relatives. Every time we dined here we have enjoyed it overall. A few things should be mentioned. - The food never disappoints and the portions are plenty. Average dinner price is between $19 and $29. This includes soup and salad. They have beef, fish, chicken... more

I've been to other Shogun locations and other Teppanyaiki restaurants and this is by far the WORSE service I've ever experienced. When we first entered, the receptionist was chatting on the phone (not about reservation or anything) and ignored our entry. We waited a couple minutes until someone from the restaurant came out to greet us. We went to the... more

We ate here with relatives and, like others, had to wait a bit longer than we expected. In fact, the first time we checked on our status, we found that they had inexplicably passed over us and seated people who had arrived after us (?). After that, everything was positive. Our chef put on a great show and the food... more

I have to add my comments after reading the other reviews. My family has been to Shogun many times. We have gone for dinner for at least the past 3 New Years Eve's. I have never experienced the "pushy" service that the other two reviews mentioned. The food is awesome and we always have a lot of fun. Chito is... more

I have to agree with the last review. We made reservations for 7:00 p.m. a couple of weeks ago and we ended up waiting for almost an hour past our reservation time before being seated. This is something we were willing to do since we heard the food was excellent. When we sat at the table we enjoyed "the show"... more

I finally got a chance to visit the Shogun that I have heard about through friends. I did a quick search for reviews and only found a few. They stated that the food is pretty good along with entertainment features from your chef who cooks up the food right in front of you, but they can be a little pushy... more
