We just paid over $500 for dinner for 9 people. The waitress only brought out 8 dinners & forgot my dinner. The waitress said she forgot. The manager comes over and lies to me & said the cooking procedure could not prepare that many sea base dinners all at once. Its never the mistake but the cover up that was so offensive. I hate being lied to. Then, I watched 8 other family members eat their dinner & the manager still charges me. I am glad he did charge me. I am glad he lied to me. I am glad he & his waitress ruined our evening out. I will now boycott this restaurant as will all 9 members of my party. My revenge will be to tell everyone I know to never eat at this restaurant. I will tell everyone I know, including people I know who goes to this restaurant, to boycott this restaurant into perpetuity. I typically spend $175 monthly their. Never again !!!!! read more

Upscale Asian fusion restaurant with broad menu and even a hibachi room. Food excellent well prepared and tasty. Beautiful decor and friendly staff. Well worth a visit read more

Legends provides great takeout sushi - quick service and highly efficient. We love their specialty rolls.

Marginal quality and way, way overpriced. We never mind menu prices for quality, but this wasn't the case with "Shogun". Ordered the popular Sea Bass, $44 for a small portioned tasteless dish with over steamed lazy vegetable and dumpling. My wife had the volcano steak, it was unevenly cooked and again poor meat quality? The big fish tank was the only good thing about dining in Shogun Legends. They should be ashamed of their product. Save your money, a diner has better quality. read more

First time here, although I've passed by it many times. Decided to give it a try and I was super impressed! The layout of the entire space is very interesting, with a raised bar, beautiful massive fish tank, busy sushi bar and lots of different spaces to dine, including a private dining area. The sushi was outstanding. Everything was fresh, delicious and artfully presented. The yellowtail sashimi melted in your mouth, the eel, spicy tuna sushi were perfect. The Godzilla roll was amazing and a very good value for for the price. My only regret is that I waited so long before ever trying this place. I've missed out all these years. Can't wait to return! read more

Hard to beat this spot for sushi if you are looking in Southern Monmouth. Great option for locals when the typical spots are filled with vacationers. Not the cheapest spot, but you get what you pay for. Friendly staff. Apps are great, sushi eve read more

I went to eat at the bar here on a recommendation. I was told they had great sushi and a social scene. Got to the bar where I met my friend, bartenders behind the bar, built gym rat looking guys, Who ran around like they were busy with hardly any crowd seated. It took a while for one to even look me in the eye and asked me if I'd like anything. I ordered a martini, extra dirty ketel 1 vodka, and told him that I would pay cash so that my friend didn't have to pay for half my drinking. It was like we had to beg him to come take our order?! My friend ordered a small salad and a couple sushi rolls, I ordered a Salad and soon after was told that they didn't have it. Her salad never came and when she questioned it the waiter actually said "do you want it?". We waited for some time for our bill, finally asked for it by saying was in sure if we'd actually have to pay?! The bartenders response to me was "well, you dont...but then you'll go to jail, we all make choices". I found the food lack luster, the service even more lackluster and the atmosphere a big meh. Pass on this expensive option. read more

I love the inside of the restaurant. It's beautiful. That's what the one star is for. Aside from that, extremely disappointing. The chairs are so uncomfortable I couldn't believe they were made for sitting. I was lucky it was freezing out so my heavy coat comforted the seat so I could get through dinner. Our appetizers were described by the table as "slimy." The drinks tasted more like childrens juice than alcoholic beverages. I ordered the firecracker chicken which was a tough, flavorless version of sesame chicken. Our waiter was very polite but didn't know any of our questions about the menu. Overall, a big waste of money. read more

Shogun Legends - Firecracker chicken - Sushi Bars Near Me - Wall, New Jersey

So again I have to keep it up with the times. I had hibachi dinner with the family, sat against the wall that is very cold and drafty so bring a light jacket. As for the food, we ordered simple things such as hibachi steak a chicken the chef was adding butter to everything on an obnoxious level. Out of 7 people in my party almost no body ate there food, The entire table kept asking for soy sauce and teriyaki sauce to flavor their food after it was served. once the meal was complete the manager came by and asked if everything was OK while the chef was standing in front of us it was uncomfortable embarrassing to say something then so we waited to call the next day I advised the manager to ask the bus person who took all of our food away that there was such a massive amount of uneaten food he said he would speak to the general manager and get back to me I spent $240 on a meal that nobody ate I believe we are done with this place. By the way no response from management read more

It has a bar!! 5 stars lol Food was about 4 stars The restaurant itself is giving the mixed reviews kind of rundown But the service was nice The two cosmos I had got me DRUNK! I don't know what was in them, straight vodka! The steak was delicious the shrimp was very good too The fried rice was great Food was fresh Typical hibachi place honestly they are all the same but fresh and good taste read more

We walked in around 3:30 PM on Sunday and took a good look around and seeing things like empty plastic silverware bin laying on the floor near the bar as well as linens stacked haphazard on one of the bar seats - not good. Then I put my hand on the front of the bar only to be greeted by some sticky substance that required a trip to the men's room to wash off, which was another story. The finish is peeling off the bar and in general the place looks like it has been neglected in recent years. Not wishing to pay their high prices for mediocrity we just walked out of the place. So this review is not a rating of their food or service but an expression of our disappointment in the overall condition of their operations. read more

I really like shogun legends. My husband and I used to go there regularly. Their rolls are awesome, my favorite appetizers are the steamed pork dumplings and the sautéed green beans. Their hibachi is awesome, food is pretty tasty. Their cocktails are very good as well. Prices are reasonable being that the quality of the food and service are pretty good. Would totally recommend!!! read more

Love eating in the fish tank area but even more the food. Everything is delicious and well presented. Great drinks also!

Very romantic place and great seafood. I just love going on date night there tartare Is amazing I crave it all time read more

Great quality and good service. Check out the martini and drinks menu. Great atmosphere! read more

So good! We love both the fine dining downstairs and the hibachi upstairs. Great sushi selections. Friendly and dependable service. Always a great experience! read more

I have been going to shogun for years and have never once been disappointed! We come here for every special occasion. The sushi is my favorite and the hibachi is so good and such big portions. Definitely worth every penny. Our favorite way to eat here is to sit at the bar and order. The bar is very spacious and comfortable. The bartender James is our favorite and we love when he is working! 100% recommend shogun for all your sushi cravings read more

Let first say, it is a very impressive place to go, wether it be for a date or a business lunch or dinner. As I entered the impressive double heavy doors, I am at awe at how grand the place looks. Passing by the place where the host brings you to your table, I noticed a sign stating the dress code should be causal dressy - no jeans preferred. I'm fine but one of my girl friends was causal in jeans but looked neat. Great, we were seated and no comments were made although I did get the distinct feeling the host and later the waitress was sizing us up. As we sat down, we chatted away because we haven't seen each other in a while. I was stressed out beyond work and stuff so this was our time to destress. The waitress kept coming over to see if we were ready to order yet. Finally, the waitress came to us and asked us point blankly if we were done yet and are we ready to order. We were laughing as said, "no, give us a few." She literally gave us 5 minutes and then proceeded to ask, what will you be ordering? Subtle. Real subtle. Okay, we crack opened our menus and we ordered. One of my girlfriends just had surgery and so she asked for the chicken soon but no brown sauce. The waitress then told her it was an appetizer and if there is no brown sauce, its tasteless. My friend said, that's fine. You should've heard the huff the waitress let out. My other friend ordered two rolls: boston roll and the banzai roll. I ordered my standard sashimi lunch special because I just love sashimi and was grateful they didn't say "hibachi". Nothing wrong with it but it's just not my cup of tea. My lunch comes with a salad. I offered it to my girlfriend who only had an appetizer. I figured she's going to be hungry and I was fine. Next came the eye roll from the waitress when I did this. I could tell she was holding her tongue when I did this. Gut feeling she wanted to say, "hey, no sharing. That is yours!" My miso soup came and must admit, it was tasty. Finally all our meals came. Now mine comes with white rice. Nowhere was it in sight. I didn't ask for it because none of us like rice. The chicken soon was served in two different platters. The waitress said it comes that way. My friend then said, "don't take away my salad. I'll just add the lettuce wraps onto that salad plate." More eye rolling from the waitress. As we are eating we are still talking from everything under the sun. Not once did she or anyone ask us how the food was or do we need anything. Yet the guy at the next table who was obviously working on his lunch in a very nice suit was repeatedly asked those questions with each sushi roll dish that came out. As we finish eating, my other friend asks for a coke. The soda was maybe a quarter of the cup and the rest was filled with ice. After the soda was ordered and placed down, we ask for dessert. Ice cream tempura with three spoons. Nice presentation on all counts but the tempura was well... ewwwww. You could tell they didn't fry it enough. Again, they didn't ask us how it was or anything. The ambiance and decor is excellent. The bathrooms are dark with very little light. I can't say they want to make it romantic in there but lets just say, you need to not be frightened of it being dimly lit. Our waitress was not the nicest. Yet she was very nice to the guy who ordered like crazy at the next table. Food was meh. Too bad because I spied Peking Duck on the menu for $50 and so wanted to go to get it with my hubby. After this, I don't think so. All in all, it was an okay experience. I can only sum it up to: if you look the part, they will treat nicely. Order expensive and a lot and they will be sure to be nicer to you. Go there for just a get together dressed casual dressy... go find yourself another place. Disappointed. I was really aiming for giving only positive reviews this year. Phew! read more

Hands down best Japanese food I have ever had. The service was top-notch, the restaurant is beautiful and food was delicious. Portions are HUGE and the food is not cooked in too much butter or overly greasy like in other hibachis I have been to. My birthday dinner was fantastic and I can't wait to go back! read more

Went there for dinner on a Thursday night with gf and the kids. I have been there before and the food was pretty good. My daughter ordered the filet, son orders the volcano steak, gf ordered sushi and I ordered 24 oz ribeye. The food came on time and everything looked good. My ribeye was a little to be desired. I know you can't compare this with Sparks or Mortons but I do expect some salt and pepper. I thought it was my tastebuds but I let my gf tried too and she said it needed seasoning. I told my server and she took it back. The steak came back and it looked like the cool just put it back on the grill because it looked more charred. The steak tastes exactly the same as before going back to the kitchen and now a different temperature. The manager came over and I told him it was not good. Both the manager and server were very apologetic. I later opted for the volcanic beef as I was starving. Overall the staff is good but not the steak. read more

Shogun Legends is my top choice in NJ for hibachi and sushi. Everything here sets a high standard for what to expect out of Japanese places that makes many others seem bland. The atmosphere is fairly stunning throughout the restaurant, definitely one of the nicest in the area. The hibachi here is great, but the sushi steals the show. There are a number of rolls that are all unique to each-other and most are expertly made up of many types of fish among other things. One of my favorite rolls is the "Two Thumbs Up" roll, though there's so much brilliantly put together in it that I couldn't list it all. All of the sushi is presented extremely well, and we have been served some gorgeous plates of fish that the chefs did an amazing job plating. The fish here is the freshest in the area. There are a lot of sushi rolls on the menu, which is great. Hibachi portions are generous and easily worth the higher-than-usual price. Hibachi is pretty close to its finest here. The appetizers from the kitchen are also worth mentioning because they're all great and uniquely presented. My recommendations would be the calamari and BBQ squid. Service is always great and generous (if you're a spender). The prices are a little higher than some other sushi places around, but the quality and the atmosphere are obviously what you're paying extra for. I have tried a lot of sushi places in NJ and Shogun Legends is my standard for sushi, the quality is unbeatable in NJ. read more

if you are going for a show at the hibachi grill or to sit at the bar and have some sushi. This place is OK. But going to dinner I would think twice. My entrée came out cooked on evenly with not a lot of flavor. The waitress came back twice to make sure she had the correct orders yet still got our orders wrong. To make matters worse. The manager came over to tell us that it was a problem in the kitchen if he had known that she came to our table more than once to make sure she had the correct orders I don't think he would've made that mistake. I'd rather have somebody not lie to me and tell me that the order got screwed up, then to lie to me and tell me that they were as a problem in their Kitchen. read more

I first came here for a pharm rep dinner and barely remember the drug we talked about but I do remember the sushi. Everything is very fresh. I've also tried their cooked entrees like Pad Thai, which was also delicious. Furthermore, the atmosphere is great. Add in great company and you have an awesome date. read more

For a Jersey restaurant, this place is pretty good for sushi and sashimi! A little bit out of the way, and the decor is a bit outdated, but all in all a good experience. Our servers were knowledgeable about the menu and friendly, though I did find it a bit odd that they kept switching servers. And two of the appetizers we tried to order weren't available but in the end it was fine. We ordered a medium sushi sashimi combo, a sashimi appetizer, calamari, and a thai curry along with a bottle of white wine. Everything was great, even the cliche tempura ice cream and mochi ice cream we ordered at the end. The vibe more caters to an older crowd, but I would come here again. read more

From the moment you step through those extra large wooden doors (and then the etched glass doors) you are greeted warmly by all the hostesses. With reservations you are seated immediately even if your entire party isn't present which I find refreshing. Many pretentious restaurants make you wait. The gorgeous fish tank between the bar area and the main dinning area on the first floor (plus all the hidden lights and walkway lights) lends a beautiful glow to even the darkest corners. In another area there are large circular booth seats which accommodate a large party while remaining intimate. All of the servers have been top notch. We've kept to sushi so I can't attest to its quality but every roll we've tried has been delectable. My one complaint would be the drinks. There doesn't seem to be a variety on the drinks menu and after dinner we weren't offered a dessert menu, coffee, or after dinner drinks. I don't know if they just don't have any or our servers didn't think to ask us. All in all it's a great place, a bit pricey but here you get what you pay for: quality food and service. read more

Stopped in around 7 on a Wednesday night for a drink at the bar with friends. Nice bar, cool vibe. Drinks were good, pretty standard. Had the volcano steak - come to you flaming, that's fun! Very tasty, a bit spicy but not overwhelming- really good. Also had some fried rice, good, not overly spiced so good contrast to the steak. Nice first time visit, I'll be back. read more

I've been going to Legends for several years and after last night, feel like I owe them a review as a debt of gratitude for years of exceptional experiences. The best part of this place is that there is something for everyone. Not a sushi person? Plenty of seafood and land walking fare plus great gluten free options. The food is always prepared carefully and the service, from the minute you walk in, is outstanding. My wife and I like to sit at the bar because the bartenders are almost always really cool people to talk with. They're also famous for making great recommendations which helps us stray outside of our comfort zones carefully. The wine list is wide and we'll curated, the desserts are always spot on and the options when considering a whole floor for hibachi seem limitless. All this and the prices are actually pretty reasonable for Monmouth County, NJ. It's tucked back on RT 34 so not always easy to spot but trust me when I say it's worth looking for! Enjoy! read more

The place is beautiful. We had hibachi . The Chinese would say no taste . The butter made it greasy. The chef made a mess In front of our plates . After serving us . Food was thrown on our jackets and pants . I'm sure it was an accident from a skilled professional. Ha . No sauce was served . Drink orders where dismissed . I was asked how everything was . I did not complain. Yet I posted a negative review . Hopefully management will read this . Dry Cleaners are not Cheap . Neither was our dinner bill . Personally I could have done better at home cooking with wet paint in my kitchen. read more

PAD THAI PAD THAI PAD THAI Sorry - the pad thai here is so, so, SO good. And fantastic value at $12 for the portion size you get. I have eaten pad thai a lot of places - including Thailand - and holy crap is it delicious at Legends. And a massive portion. Two people could easily share if you're getting a few sushi rolls too. We always sit near the bar area. Wines aren't cheap but the pour is generous. The sushi is decent and the dumplings were tasty. A good-quality option with a classy decor if you're in the area. read more

My husband and I chose to come here for Valentines day. We had a reservation for weeks. We were sat by the take out in a small table. After some people left we were moved down a few tables but, still not a good seat. It was so unbelievably cold because the seat was right along the walk way to the door outside. Our meal was just ok and we felt very rushed. The owner or manager had his coat on by the hostess station. We asked for cappuccino and the waitress said they were out of milk??? Really? We have been here many times for special occasions and with big groups. We have never been treated so poorly. This left a very bad taste in our in our mouths. Very disappointed. read more

Ordered lunch from here and could not have been more disappointed. I got a wonton soup and pork dumplings and the wonton soup looked like it was just wontons in water. The dumplings are the smallest order of dumplings I've ever seen. The soup and dumplings were $6.50 each and for that amount I would expect a larger or or something delicious. I definitely will never go here again. read more

Review is for hibachi-which is great. Loved it Excellent service and food is well prepared. read more

Was always my favorite years ago. We were a party of 8 and excited for a great dinner. From start to finish, it was a big disappointment. Three appetizers didn't come out and we had to ask. Then two appeared and one never came out. Our waitress was so dismissive and bitchy. All of us go out frequently so we know good food. We were all disappointed in the food quality. Two sushi orders were fishy. Waitress was not attentive and good quality has completely gone downhill. Sorry for the bad review, legends but pay attention. read more

Stopped here for the first time after driving by it daily for years. We did the hibachi grill option and it was great. The place was clean, service was quick and friendly. The chef was entertaining and the food well cooked. We liked the fact it was causal and kid friendly. I would recommend getting there as they open for dinner or making reservations. We we're one of the first to be seated as they opened and they had many people waiting by the time we left. read more
