    Inside dining
    Brandon W.

    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.

    Smoky tempura mushroom soup. Mmmmm
    Lynn L.

    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.

    Shrimp Yakisoba with no vegetables
    Michiell T.

    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.

    Exactly what it was. Trash.
    Gabe M.

    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.

    Chargrilled steak
    Zac G.

    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 ordered sushi, not rice balls
    Mr. H.

    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.

    Shogun Special Beef
    Ivana V.

    Recently visited Shogun for lunch at about 11:20, close to when they opened. There weren't many customers when we first arrived, so our food was ready in 10-15 minutes. My boyfriend and I ordered the vegetable udon and Shogun Special Beef. Vegetable udon was mainly mushrooms, cabbage and broccoli but pretty mild in flavor (not a bad point though). Shogun Special Beef was debatable because the beef was a little overcooked but overall tasty. We also had the fried green tea ice cream which was small but fulfilling for the end of the meal. More and more customers came for a small lunch rush, but our server was still attentive and got us our dessert and bill faster than expected. Major points: Attentive and overall satisfying service; wait time was tolerable and nothing to complain about; can't brag about the decor and lighting too much, but simple enough to the eyes. I'd definitely go back when I'm in the area.

    Shaggy Dog - delicious!

    Hey family. Happy Saturday! I tried Miss Johnnie Mae's a while back and I'm happy to report that I…read moreliked it much better than when I tried it prior. My initial introduction was when they were located in Stock and Grain Food Hall. I had wanted to try them for a while and luckily I was invited to a Yelp Event where I was able to sample some items. In all fairness, I absolutely loved the service but maybe it was an off night but at the time I wasn't a fan. But as some months passed, they are no longer in Stock and Grain but in a food truck in High Point. I highly suggest following their Facebook page for dates and times where you can catch them. The service was still wonderful and the food was really good. The sweet potato cornbread is one of my favs and the chicken wings and catfish bites were fried to perfection. I love collard greens but do understand, everyone makes them differently. My family is from eastern NC so we make ours savory, theirs have a little sweetness to it. I don't mind it but this time around was so much better, it was very well balanced. The mac and cheese was delicious as well. Although not pictured, do check out their Russian tea drink. I felt very nostalgic and I have no other words but it was great. I try to savor it when I get some. I wish he sold them in half gallon jugs because I would buy it. That's how good it is. They have other items like Rasta pasta, oxtails, pork chops, and turkey wings. I can't wait to come back and try more food. Give them a follow and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

It's hidden away off the main stretch, but easy to get to with parking on-site. When we arrived at 5pm, the restaurant was fairly empty and they were already set up and waiting for our group reservation. We were greeted by Freya, who had a great personality and provided fantastic service all evening while we were there. Can't speak highly enough of her! They have a comprehensive wine menu and a full bar. I started with a Lemon Drop Martini which was delicious, and later had a glass of Merlot as well which was tasty as well. They had warm fresh bread on the table with butter which was great since we were all very hungry. For my meal, I ordered the Halibut Large Plate. This was a lightly crisp blackened piece of Halibut topped with lump grab and a sauce, then served atop a piece of andouille sausage, asparagus, and creamy grits. There were SO MANY flavors perfectly balanced together here with a variety of textures to enjoy as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this. Blue Water Grille is fairly expensive and not somewhere you would come regularly, but for a special outing or a date night it is a great treat. The menu is seafood heavy and non-seafood items also pack a lot of flavor, so be aware that there are limited options for that picky eater in your party who perhaps wants a more plain chicken dish. As an aside - Someone in my party got the Mac & Cheese small plate and it looked fantastic. Definitely something I'm going to order next time!

My husband ate them with my leftover so it's not big deal but they should add a description to their online menu. Also, he said they were friendly when he went to the restaurant. And it only took them about 20 min to make it so that was another big plus. I will definitely be ordering again.

Some were sliced so thin you mostly tasted breading, and they were a bit greasy. I would skip these. He ordered the fish sandwich with Brussels sprouts (premium side with a small upcharge). The sandwich was okay, nothing special. The Brussels sprouts were good, nicely cooked with solid flavor. I had the Fratellis salad with greens, cranberries, feta, mozzarella, Granny Smith apples, and candied pecans, and added sirloin for an upcharge. They forgot the steak at first, but brought it out shortly after in a separate bowl. Not a big deal. The sirloin was cooked medium as requested, a little red inside and tender enough to cut easily. It had good flavor. I chose the apple cider vinaigrette, which worked well with the salad. I also ordered the chef's selection soup, which was supposed to be lobster bisque. If there was any lobster, it was microscopic. The flavor was slightly bitter and just not good. I asked for it to be taken off the bill. Service handled everything well, including the mistake with the steak and the soup. Atmosphere is casual tavern style, relaxed and easy for a weekday lunch. Must order: Fratellis salad with sirloin and apple cider vinaigrette (yummy), Brussels sprouts Heads up: Skip the thin cut onion rings and don't expect much from the bisque. Other soups, I've had here in the past have been great though.
