| - On a recent trip home to visit my parents, we decided to visit Shogun since the Japanese restaurant in my hometown had closed. Shogun was one of the first Japanese restaurants to have opened in this area and was where we ate for my high school prom. I was highly disappointed when I looked on yelp and saw that Shogun was closed. Their website looked very up to date, so I decided to take the extra step and call the number. The woman who answered the phone seemed very shocked to hear that I thought they were closed and assured me they were very much open. Yay!
We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday night. There was one table already full, and we were seated at a second table that quickly filled up. By the time we finished dinner, all of the tables on the first floor were full and people were being seated in the upstairs section. Our party ordered different combinations of filet, shrimp, and salmon. The filet was super tender, and the salmon had wonderful flavor. I did not try the shrimp. In addition to the meat, the meal consisted of soup, salad, rice, zucchini & onions, mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, and sherbet. The chef was very good about asking each person if they wanted a component before putting it on a plate.
The flavors and quality of the food were much higher than a majority of the "fast food" and many of the sit-down Japanese restaurants I've been to. The best part was they had a coupon on their website for buy one meal, get one half off.
