| - After exploring the restaurant options with a group of co-workers, we decided on Shogun for our lunchtime meal on Friday. I was impressed with the amount of photos framed on the walls of celebrities that have dined at the restaurant over the years. From Pierce Brosnan to Antonio Banderas, it seems like Shogun is a popular destination for the movie stars that visit Toronto during Toronto International Film Festival. The restaurant itself is not very large, but has a great cozy and relaxing vibe that makes dining in a comfortable experience even if you are with a large group. We walked around the Yorkville area looking for somewhere to eat, and most places were already full or didn't have room for everyone in our group. It is worth noting that his place was the only restaurant in the area that was able to accommodate our large group of ten for lunch.
I ordered the steak teriyaki bento box, and was quite satisfied with the quality of food. The service was also very good, and I thought they did a great job serving our table. The bento box came with sirloin steak, rice, soup, salad, and gyoza. I felt like the portions were a bit on the smaller side, and I do consider myself to have a small appetite. I did however notice on the menu afterwards that it was under the "Light Course" section, something I didn't initially notice when placing my order. Perhaps next time I will order a dinner meal or something in addition to the bento box. Overall, I think this place is a great spot to grab a bite to eat with a medium sized group and I would definitely return in the future!
