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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!
