I've been to many teppan yakki style restaurants and I have even worked at one too. This place has good food! yes they did run out of my favorite beer, but that didnt bother me too much. I didnt try the sushi, but over all the teppan style is good.

I've never been to a Japanese Steakhouse for an evening dinner where I haven't had to wait, even with a reservation. This is a common occurance.

The sushi, the last time I was there they did not have rolls, just your standard Nigiri style and for your average person who is not a true sushi lover, this doesn't cut it. Don't go expecting the best sushi ever, you're better off going to I Love Mr. Sushi.

Personally I don't even care for Japanese steakhouses, but this one is average and not worthy of a one star rating. It's decent food, for the standard price. The only complaint I have is its location and the type of patrons that come to this location for a "special night out"

I've ben to many Japanese Steakhouses, and Shogun by far is the worst.

First was the wait. Apparently they didn't feel the need to try and seat 4 people for a meal. They wanted more. So our party had to wait for at least 45 minutes before another couple showed up.

Then they were out of the Japanese Beer.

The sushi left a lot to be desired as well. They were out of nearly half of what we had wanted. We finally just passed on the sushi altogether and waited for the food.

Another thing for this place to look into is liability. Cooking foods on the same surface is not always a good idea, especially with those who have food allergies (such as shellfish). I had to ask twice that the surface and utensils be cleaned after the chef had prepared the lobster and scallops. Sorry, but I don't relish a night in the ER because someone doesn't think about cross contamination.

All in all, I will not be going back there again.

Waste of time, waste of money and there wasn't even a show. Just cooking and that's it. I think our party would have been better off making the trek to Oishi in Chesterfield.

Let me tell you....this is the best. Now I can say we do go for special times, but oh how good it is. My husband and I love eating all the food and trust me you will not leave hungry. The best part is our 5 year old LOVES the chicken and they do have a kids menu. You do need to call ahead since there is limited space but it is worth it. Price isn't bad either!!!!
