I visited Shogun for the first time on a Saturday evening. I didn’t have a reservation but that was no problem and was seated immediately. Our server was kind & took our orders within a timely manner. Drinks and sushi were delicious. Chef also cooked our meal to perfection. The entertainment was fun & light. Definitely would recommend!

We were hungry for sushi, so we sat at the bar. The sushi was amazing, the New York New York roll is my favorite! The bartender was very friendly. We will be back to try the Teppen style dinner.

Today was our first visit here. 5 stars; would **definitely** recommend. Arnel was our hibachi grill artist and he was simply amazing! The kids really enjoyed the show and he cooked our food per our preferences and to perfection. Andrea was our server and she was very attentive and kind. A perfect lunch experience for a party of 7 including

I think the place is going downhill. The food was underwhelming. I had to ask the chef for the sauces to be put out after half of our food was on our plate. And, I didn’t care for them. Usually the sauces are the tipping point to bring out the flavors. I didn’t like the creamy ginger sauce, very bland. They do not have low sodium soy sauce “anymore”. The chef was talented and gave a heartfelt show for the kids.

Always a fun experience. Our chef was great – entertaining, funny, but not overwhelming. He did not interrupt our conversations which was really nice. He did a great job coming for us, mixing in his skills and humoring is along the way. Great service, fun experience, and very reasonable prices.

I have been coming to this place for over 12 years. It is my kid’s favorite place to celebrate important events. Unfortunately in recent years I’ve seen a decline in service.

I’d like to write in about my experience visiting your restaurant in San Marcos, CA. I visited on Friday April 28,2023. I made a reservation for 8 people, and we were celebrating two birthdays in our party. The food was decent, drinks were TERRIBLE, our server was decent, but the horrible service we received from the manager, Charm was the nail in the coffin. Before our drinks and appetizers even came out we were approached by Charm (the manager) and she asked us to keep our voices down. We weren’t disrupting any neighboring tables, and we were actually sitting in a more isolated table towards the left side of the restaurant. We were all shocked that we had been asked to stay quiet and keep the celebration to a minimum. Once drinks finally came out, 4 out of the 7 we ordered were sent back because they tasted terrible, or they weren’t anything like the ones pictured in the menu. One appetizer made it to the table, while the rest of us waited. Finally our chef made it out, and he was pleasant and helpful. He immediately knew that something was going on because we were all chatting about it. Our chef, Santos tried his best to help make it less akward and help come back from the comments she made to our table. During the whole dinner show, she stayed around our area almost like she was babysitting us the whole time. One dinner was also made incorrectly, but we dealt with it. We asked to speak with her again towards the end of our dinner and then she took a while to come back. A few of us let her know how we were feeling about the all around service, but she only apologized. We had two members of our party who had never been to Shogun, and the rest of us had been there plenty of times and had never experienced what we did that evening. None of our drinks or meals were comped and we will NEVER be coming back to this location again. I hope that this helps better the service at this location, and hopefully someone else won’t have to deal with such a terrible overall experience.

I recently had the pleasure of using a server named “Isaac” that exceeded all of my expectations. The performance was outstanding, and I never experienced any lag or downtime. The customer support was top-notch, with fast response times.

Overall a disappointing experience. The food was fine, but the servie was not great, especially for as much as we paid for the dinner. The bus boy dropped off carry out boxes as the chef was leaving. Clearly they were just trying to get us out of there. They didn’t sing happy birthday to the 10 year old we were celebrating, then of course the bill was inacurate. Needless to say, we won’t be going back and wouldn’t recommend to others.
