We came to Shogun for a birthday dinner with a party of five and ordered 2 Mikado, 2 Genji, and the Wagyu with calamari. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
The chef seemed unfriendly and unhappy and didn’t really put on a show beyond the basic onion volcano. The lobster tails didn’t taste fresh and were extremely salty. The steak was also over-salted.
This really ruined the mood for what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. For the price, it wasn’t worth it.
That said, the staff was great—very kind and attentive.

Food was good and the atmosphere is also good! Rating the service a 1 star because I had gone to the bar to ask for a refill of water for 2 cups of water. As I was waiting at the bar, one of the girls (she had a pony tail with a ribbon in her hair) who’s name was Tammy (from what one of the workers informed me) rudely ignored me while helping other people that walked up after I was clearly waiting for her to assist me. One thing is to be busy and if she were to tell me she’ll be right with me, (I would of understood and waited patiently) but she straight up ignored me even though we had made eye contact and help others while continuing ignoring me. So for this TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE I am going to be leaving a 1 star. Sad to say, traveling from Arizona, really excited to try this place for the first time, and this had to be my experience from this restaurant. I won’t lie, this experience really put a sour taste in my mouth. Definitely won’t be coming back. I’ll also be telling family and friends to not waste their money and time coming to this place as well. Hopefully this restaurant can educate their employees to treat costumers with respect and acknowledgment.

Unfortunately Disappointing
Around 5pm I used the website to place a reservation but the only times they had available were after 8.
I called and spoke to Ayden and asked if I absolutely needed a reservation or if I could walk in as I have a young daughter I hoped to eat earlier than 8pm
Ayden informed me I didn’t need a reservation but I wouldn’t be seated until 8 if I walked in at 6.
This was disappointing and a bit confusing to me but I kept my reservation for 8 and arrived on time ready and excited to eat.
Parking was fairly simple they have accessible handicap parking a few feet from the entrance.
We were sat around 8:05 order at 8:15.
It was pretty busy- full of birthday celebrations and people at most tables.
We watched everyone around us meet their chefs and enjoy their show.
We all sat over an HOUR before our chef/cook arrived to begin cooking.
A very hangry child, my older hungry mother and myself waiting with watered down drinks was Not fun.
I am still extremely unsure why we made a reservation and did not begin eating until after 930!
The chefs at the other tables were full of excitement and created a great show.
Everyone at our table kept saying “this food and show much be exceptional to have us waiting this long”
It was mediocre at best.
Chef did not interact with us, barely made eye contact and did not do any cool tricks while cooking as others did.
If I knew I wouldn’t eat until close to 10pm there is no way I would’ve made the reservation or decided to come to this restaurant.
I ordered hibachi scallops that tasted undercooked or maybe just not fresh.
Regardless ,I would not recommend coming here unless it’s during a slow lunch time.
Don’t come hungry unless you’re okay with waiting hours to eat and definitely don’t bring kids that are ready to eat.
You could save $150+ and go to Dennys next door for quicker inexpensive food and better customer service in my opinion.

Went here for birthday dinner and had an absolute great time! They seated us quickly and in great spot. We had a wonderful chef and the service was great. They have recently added noodles to the dinner so I thought the amount of food and quality of food was amazing I was so full and had an entire container to take home after. I got the filet mignon large size and shrimp and scallops, everything was cooked perfectly and again the service was amazing!

The atmosphere was fun, the service was great and of course entertaining. The chefs have great skills and fun tricks. I will definitely be back. I had the seafood combination which I do recommended for anyone who enjoys seafood.

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!!!!

We took up an entire hibachi table with our group of 13 and they were very flexible with us as our reservation changed in numbers over the course of the day. The food was very solid and the drinks were delicious, and a fair price. Overall this is a great option if you’re looking for hibachi in the San Diego area.

Highly recommend, great Teppanyaki! I always get the same thing, Filet Mignon with fried rice and side of California rolls, best price and taste in town for me so far! (Highly recommend coming between 11:30am-3pm, lunch special prices, and I honestly don’t think you get any less food)

Went to Shogun to celebrate my friend’s birthday and we had such a great experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The hibachi chef was super entertaining and made the whole dinner extra fun with his skills and humor.
The ambiance was perfect for a celebration, and they even sang and brought a sliced cake roll for my friend’s birthday, which made the night feel extra special. The only downside is the parking—it’s very limited, so I’d recommend arriving early or carpooling if you can. Also, we made reservations at 7pm but had to wait 20 minutes for them to turnover the table. We did Teppanyaki and it was $70 a person since we didn’t drink, it would’ve been more if we did. Was well worth the experience.
Other than that, everything was top notch. Would definitely come back again for date night or another special occasion!
