My husband and I wanted to celebrate our anniversary and we decided to go here. We heard from my parents it's under new management and they enjoyed their meal. I'm happy we decided to go. They had a great happy hour menu of which we got the pork pan seared gyozas, veggie and shrimp tempura and it was fantastic! Also, my Lychee martini was delicious! The food tasted fresh and came out piping hot. We chose to sit at the tables vs watching the show. We had a great experience and shoutout to our waitress Alyssa who was extremely attentive and helpful. read more

Shogun - Rib Eye Steak and Chicken - Bars Near Me - La Verne, California

If you've been coming to ShoGuns for years don't bother anymore. They really need to advertise under new management and new menu. From the first bite of my sushi roll I could taste the dip in quality. My children loved coming here. My wife had her first taste of Sushi here and we brought friends and friends because you could never have a bad night out here. Unfortunately that day arrived. I'm saddened to say that after 14 years and great times with friends and family we will no longer be coming here or to any locations. Oh and the white cloth tables really? Who's that for? When your food quality was a hit and now is a miss those clothes don't make things better read more

I kinda made a little tradition of going to teppanyaki places when my kids were little to celebrate the end of the school year or promotions. The food is generally decent, but I don't go so much for the food, as I like the concept of a dinner and show for our celebration. So when my youngest had his 8th grade promotion, I found Shogun in La Verne that I made reservations for. I've been to the Pasadena location several times in the past so I am confident with their food and service. The La Verne location is in a big shopping plaza with plenty of parking. We arrived and were seated immediately. I guess our reservation time at 6:00 pm was early enough to avoid the crowds since there was hardly anyone there yet. FYI, there's a happy hour from 3:00 - 6:00 pm. Our server was great, he got us everything we needed and stopped by frequently to check on us. We each ordered a combo, and was so excited to see the "show". I don't know if our chef was new or what, but he was so soft spoken and not very enthusiastic about what he was doing. I couldn't hear anything he was saying and even the train whistle that he blew was so quiet. I clapped and cheered in the beginning to get him going, but he wasn't really engaging, so I was really disappointed. It was so boring. To top that off, our "yakisoba" that came with our meal was linguini noodles. Seriously? Can you get any less authentic? If Panda Express can get Chow Mein noodles in Alaska, you can get yakisoba noodles in SoCal. read more

I have been coming here for over 10 yrs . Under new ownership, and I feel that it has a lot of improvements. The salad has a really good selection of different lettuce ( not just iceberg )Every bite of soup has tofu , mushroom and the onion I always order the combination steak and chicken with fried rice. Always delicious. I wish it had more veggies! When I was here, they had a samurai come around to the tables and say hello to everyone which I thought was a nice touch, especially if you had small children I think the exterior looks nice and I'm happy with new management will definitely be back and I do recommend this place. read more

Let me start by saying that my family and I have been to Shogun La Verne many times over the years. However, tonight, I got food poisoning at this restaurant. I believe it was from the shrimp or calamari steak, since I was the only one to order those particular items. We were still in the car when the nausea started, and once I got home, I was violently vomiting. Sidenote: As we were leaving, I noticed the B rating on the window, and if I had seen that on the way in, I would NOT have gone there. It appears that they are under new management and the quality has definitely gone way down. Very disappointing to have to cross yet another long-time favorite off the list. read more

My wife accidentally left her purse and they called us to let us know that deserves a 5 star rating.

What a treat! Came here for friend's son's bday. I've been to a hibachi but never like this. Menu is huge. Something for everyone. Many got the ribeye. One person got the lemon pepper chicken. I got the teriyaki steak. The fried rice was fantastic and they make a great miso soup. Really good quality meat and veggies. Generous portions. Chefs are fun and very talented. It's fun to watch them cook. Do yourself a favor and come. read more

The host gave us a 10 minute window to be seated. It turned into 30 minutes which meant I couldn't order off the happy hour menu. There were no parties in front of us to be seated. The menus had AI images on them, prices skyrocketed, and portions have been heavily cut. For reference, they're trying to charge $5 for a soda, tea, or hot green tea. That's literally insane and highway robbery. Service was bad as well. In addition to the crazy wait time before being seated, our food took a long time to get to our table. One person at our table got their food 10 minutes before the rest of us, resulting in his food getting cold before he could touch it. I expect a lot more from a restaurant that wants to charge $40 for a combination plate that used to cost $25. Food was so mid for the price and the wait time. Also they have dumb white table cloths now. Like that justifies the crazy price increase. read more

I had a great experience at this location. Francisco was always aware of us and asked if we needed anything constantly. Great service all around. The food was amazing. If I could give him a trophy my self I would. read more

Enjoyed our lunch here today. The staff continue to be attentive and professional. The portions are generous. You have to choose between soup or salad for the combos. I especially appreciated the grilled vegetables that accompany the lunch entrees and combos (mushrooms, onions, zucchini, bell peppers). Not crowded on a Tuesday lunchtime, plenty of parking, and booth/table seating inside. Lots of natural lighting. read more

Overall, it was good. The server gave my order of gyoza to the other people at the table that ordered it after us. This is the second time this has happened so we think the servers are just forgetting things. it was also a little bit cold inside the Gyoza so they need to make sure to be cooking it longer other than that. Everything was good. read more

Good food and a good time. I'm a sucker for hibachi and this is my favorite place for it. They're awesome at taking special requests and accommodating people with food allergies (shellfish allergy for me ). Chefs always make it fun and the servers are so nice. It gets very busy on the weekends especially at dinner time so make reservations in advance. This is one of our go-to places for bday celebrations with the family. Such a fun spot. Til next time! read more

We were there on 9/27/2026@ 3:45pm What went well: Good portions of serving size (was there for lunch). Food was very tasty, ambiance was good, cook was efficient. What didn't go well: Service was lousy. Our server, Monique was very sweet but lacked attentiveness. I always had to ask for my drink refill & that wouldn't happen if she was around more. It seemed like she would "disappear" from time to time. When it came time for our bill, she was nowhere in sight and the manager had to give us the bill. Not only our party but the other party at our table. This is why we downgraded on her tip and my review! read more

Great happy hour. Can't go wrong with spicy edamame. Francisco our server was exceptional. We always enjoy coming here.

We've been back since the restaurant came under new management, and the food has definitely improved. The service is also much faster. Our server, Kristen, was efficient, friendly, and attentive. Overall, a noticeable improvement and a much better experience! read more

The service we received on June 20th was the best. The cook, Erik was great! and waiter she was extremely nice. They both provided overall awesome service, to where when I return I would like to request them always. The food was great. No matter what we asked of them it was delivered,no questions asked.The cook was so friendly, funny we had a ball despite we were a little down because of loss of a family member that wasn't present for Father's Day this year. The reason for my four star instead of five no reflection on the waiter or the cook, it was simply due to having to constantly shu away annoying flying bugs. That is something that needs to be addressed, but it's kinda expected because of the establishment, but other then that the service from beginning to end starting with the phone call reservation front desk staff waiter and cook was phenomenal. read more

I hadn't been to shogun in a very very long time and I realized what I was missing for so long. I will never go to Benihana after this experience. Everything was amazing from the front hostesses to the seating and immediate service from waitress. The restaurant was very clean and organized with an elaborate menu. The manager came by and made sure everything was good with our experience. The chef was prompt in coming to our table after we ordered our entrees. Constant waitress interaction and asking if we needed anything. The chef was very clean and organized in his cooking. Everything was amazing. The portions were very generous and great options for kids. Can't wait to come back! read more

Mayra was very sweet and attentive. She spent time chatting with us before we left. The manager also came to make sure everything went well. Julio was really funny and made us a delicious dinner. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the shrimps and scallops were cooked just right, tender and juicy. Maybe easy on the butter . Love the fried shallots and mushrooms in the soup. The only thing was the noodles, it wasn't yakisoba like it was stated in the menu . My daughter's kids menu was really good too! Hers came with two shrimp tempura and fries plus seaweed sprinkled on top. I was like dang! I wished I could've had some on my plate! Very nostalgic atmosphere. They're also supporting my daughter's school by donating 20% of the sales for 3 nights straight! read more

I only ordered a glass of sparkling water instead of flat but they do have big size. And they bring the 16 oz s pellegrino for 1 person without asking. I said it is too big and asked them to change. But they said they have only 1 size and could not change it. They should ask me before ordering . I do not like their behavior they did charge it anyway. In the end, had to pay $6 for unfinished pelegriona. read more

We had such a great experience at Shogun and I definitely wanted to leave a review! From the moment we sat down, everything was smooth, fun, and well-paced. What really made the lunch stand out though was our waitress, Alysa. She was attentive without being overbearing, super friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Drinks were always refilled, orders were spot on, and she kept everything running seamlessly. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving great service. It's always nice when good food is paired with even better service, and Alysa absolutely delivered. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have been going to shogun since I was a child. I had my first drink at 21 here and I got engaged here at 22. I'm still married now at 55. I went last year and thought it was bad but I went on 12/24/25 and it was Horrible the food the service the parking the prices just everything. After a 1.5 hours we had to go tell a manager no cook had come to our table the 2 table next to us sat after us but had there cooks after a hour. The food was not fresh the cook didn't season it the portion sizes were small the fried rice was awful the chicken was chewy. But the prices are higher. That was my last visit. read more

This place was excellent! The food was delicious, and the service was fast. Our server, Ruben, was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. JP was our chef, and he was hilarious, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a lot of interaction! We had a great time and will definitely be coming back! read more

Shout out to our server, Savannah - in appreciation for her attention to food sensitivities, complete with kindness and a smile!

The PRICE WAS NOT WORTH THE FOOD !!! My partner ordered the New York , and instead she got the scraps from 3 other steaks , then they tried covering their mistake with adding a seafood item ; after being told of the Seafood Allergies .... In my opinion as a retired chef. Find a BeniHana because this Shogun is a waste of time and money. read more

I've been coming to shogun for at least 20 years now and our last two visits (12/31/25, 1/30/26) have been disappointing in terms of the food quality. The new additions to the appetizers is quite odd, they've added "yakisoba" which is just sweet soy sauce butter noodles. They also added potato's and broccoli to the veggies, the broccoli isn't so odd but why would they add red baby potatoes to a Japanese vegetable stir fry? The quality of the protein in the main entrees was so disappointing the shrimp are small, the steaks are super thin and low quality. We even splurged and ordered the "wagyu" entrees on New Year's Eve and it by no means tasted like wagyu quality. Me and my husband ordered different cuts of steak and the same looking thin steak was cooked for us. The service both times was mediocre, nothing special to call out. Probably won't be coming here again and be looking for other hibachi options. read more

We have visited many times - sometimes at a table just for sushi, but most often we visit for teppanyaki. There are several choices in the area, but Shogun is our favorite! The food is consistently fresh and delicious, the sushi options are fantastic, the alcoholic drinks are strong and tasty, and service is always incredible. Each chef we've met has had a big, fun personality and made our family feel welcome. read more

Food quality's okay--just very greasy and buttery. We had the New York steak, chicken, fried rice, and shrimp. It's just all very... buttery. I can see how some people may like it but the quality of everything was pretty subpar for me. Service: they're all nice! Really didn't encounter any problems and they were very attentive. The stars are really for them to be honest. Parking: easy, plaza parking with lots of parking, might get a little busy on weekends Ambience: pretty standard Asian restaurant that looks like they cater more towards non-Asian demographics. Aka, not authentic, but a lil good taste of Asian food. Would recommend other places to wow people, but if it's just a casual dinner then this works. read more

I've been coming to Shogun ever since I was a kid and I feel like their standards have never changed. I've always experienced top notch service with great food and I can say that is exactly what we got today for my brother's birthday. Today we received Jerry as our chef and he was just amazing! He was super kind and cool talking with my family. It was awesome to hear his backstory on how he made his way into his cooking career and how much he loves his job. Even after many years, it's still very fun to see the tricks that every chef does and the fun jokes they put into making our food. I ordered the filet mignon combination with the samurai shrimp and I also ordered the sashimi assortment appetizer. I definitely recommend the combination meals as they also come with a soup, salad, and your choice of fried or white rice. So although it may seem pricey, it's definitely worth your buck! Thank you shogun for your amazing service throughout the years! read more

Absolutely horrible. Manny (our server) threw the receipt holder/card holder at us once he saw we left $0 tip on card . He failed to notice the CASH TIP we were leaving for him ! When I asked why he threw it at us he said we left no tip , I tried telling him he was incredibly rude and he shouldn't assume because we were leaving him cash he got defensive and told me to speak to a manager. We gave the cook a cash tip and we're going to leave him his own tip as we always tip cash wherever we go . However, he jumped to assumptions and immediately threw a tantrum like a 3 year old . So unprofessional! read more

My first time here. Ordered the seafood combination, $46 I looked forward to Calamari steak. There were (2) pieces about the size of a quarter, I asked our waiter,Abraham, n he said yes, that's it.,soooo disappointed. Back to Tokyo Kitchen In Montclair for us. He didn't care. read more
