Shogun Japanese Restaurant

I stopped by Shoguns just last month and had a quiet meal by myself. I ordered a bowl of miso soup along with some California rolls. My waitress was really friendly and we even got to talking about something entirely different while dining in. I always appreciate when staff interacts and offers genuine conversation. Shoguns is right by the Harbor Freight and has a very calming ambiance. My meal was great & cost friendly! You can easily be filled up for under $10

Shogun is one of those places I used to go with my friends several times a month back in high school, quite a long time ago. And like many things from that era in life, it drifted away with a memory and I forgot about it.Tonight, I had a craving for Japanese food but it was 8:45pm on a Monday night and most of the area establishments were closed or about to close. With a closing time of 9:30pm, we were able to get here just in time to have a quick dinner.Compared to two decades ago, the ambiance appears unchanged. The lighting is fairly dim, the decor washed out and dingy, the same old curtains hanging. There is a decent amount of seating and the kitchen area is open.The staff were all very friendly, and the service was fast. I was also happy to see a 97/100 food grade, because you want a clean establishment if you're going to order sushi (or anything, really!)I ordered a few sushi items (Spicy Tuna Roll, Kamikaze roll, and Mackerel Nigiri). They were all presented together on a plate and looked nice. My wife got the teriyaki chicken meal, and we both had a bowl of miso soup.Here, though, I have to say I was disappointed. While it was fast, hot, and fresh, the food all seemed bland. The sushi had little flavor, even the mackerel which normally has a pretty distinct taste. The fried rice looked the part, but didn't have much flavor. The teriyaki chicken was a generous portion and had a decent tasting sauce, but the underlying chicken was a bit tough.I want to give benefit of the doubt that it was close to closing time and they might not have been at their best, though there is a review with a similar experience from last month. It wasn't necessarily a bad experience, but it was pretty forgettable. This meal served the goal tonight and we left with full bellies at a reasonable price, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back.

I dunno, maybe caught them on an off night? It was Monday. Three rolls but none of them had much flavor. I think that speaks to the rice ? No doubt the food was fresh, just lacking in flavor. Might try again

This place is a little gem in High Point! The hibachi was great! Tried the mushroom soup with the little crunchy tempura thingies. They had this awesome smoky taste to them. It was delightful! The tea was fantastic! The service was also amazing and you can watch them cook your food. Love it. Great spot for lunch or dinner.

My husband and I have been eating here for years. We recently started getting the sashimi as well. It's important to note that this isn't a high end sushi restaurant so the selection isn't as big. We always get a squid salad and the sashimi regular. It's very good for the price. The squid salad is actually better here than at our favorite sushi restaurant. My husband got the steak and shrimp and I got the shrimp yakisoba noodles with no vegetables. Everything was delicious and our waitress was on point.

They were very friendly and the restaurant is decorated in a terrific dream of Japanese culture. I had Yakisoba and mochi ice cream. The yakisoba was disgusting. The portion was small. The shrimp were without seasoning. The vegetables were over done and i think still had dirt from not being rinsed properly. The mochi was dry, tasteless, and tasted like the wrong kind of flour was used. I went in with high hopes. I wish i had gone to a mall food court instead.

I really love this local Japanese restaurant. I frequent Shogun at least once a week. It's a "fast food" type of Japanese restaurant, i.e. they don't cook in front of you. However, the quality is amazing and the prices can't be beaten. A plate of hibachi chicken with rice, veggie, and a side salad or soup is $6.95 I believe and that's just unheard of. The meat is very tender and they give you ample amounts of food. They also have hibachi fish (probably tilapia) and it's also amazing. Very different from the typical chicken, steak or shrimp. It's my husbands favorite! They also have a choice for teriyaki, chargrilled meats, udon, and lots of sushi.Their sushi is quite incredible and the price tags are unbelievable. You would pay $12 for a roll that you can get at shogun for $7. And the quality is on point. I love the Hawaiian roll for a treat.The wait staff is always kind, but not overly warm. They do get the job done and have yet to make a mistake. Come for a visit for some fast, but delicious Japanese food and sushi. You'll leave happy, full and save some cash!

High Point is home to a surprising number of Japanese eateries, several of which begin with S (Shogun, Sake, Shinko Grill, etc.). Given this near-ubiquity, any one of them would have to be especially good or especially bad to stand out. Shogun is neither though it does offer decent food at reasonable prices.Housed betwixt a T-Mobile and a Mario's Pizza, Shogun is easy to miss from the outside. The inside does no more to command attention. It's dated and dimly lit though clean and presentable, and sushi bar seating exists as an option if tables fill up.Shogun's menu rounds up the usual suspects: miso, gyoza, tempura, yakisoba, udon, hibachi dishes, and sushi (sashimi, nigiri, and a decent assortment of rolls). If you are in search of novelty fusion, you have come to the wrong place.My wife and I opted for a char-grilled steak and a house udon (vegetables, shrimp, scallions, and chicken) respectively. The steak was marinated in a pineapple-ginger-soy combination that lent plenty of flavor, was cooked to order, and came with an appealing assortment of vegetables. The udon was comfortingly hot on a cold day though the broth was very mild and the dish was light on shrimp.Pricing left no room for complaint: both dishes were $9.95 and provided a lot of food for the money. The proprietress was very nice though not particularly easy to understand.Shogun isn't somewhere one should go out of the way to visit, but for those in the area, it's a worthy lunch option.

I visited here tonight for their all you can eat sushi, but instead of sushi they served rice balls with a small amount of fish on top. Their menu stated that they charge $1 per piece if you don't finish your food, specifically including rice, but they waived that fee when I complained. I'll stick to other all you can eat sushi restaurants that don't try to scam their customers.

Ordered the salmon and yellowtail scallion roll to go for lunch.Restaurant was clean and tidy was also decently busy.Price point for sushi can't be beat for quality. Salmon and yellow tail were both fresh and clean tasting. Rice was tasty and well seasoned. My order was completed in less than 10 minutes. I would order takeout from here again. The lack of a sake or beer menu would prevent me from dining in here. But it's solid for some quick takeout sushi.
