We visited on a Friday evening around 6 pm. It wasn't too busy. We were seated at a hibachi table, and our server was with us quickly to take our orders. I really appreciated the fast service. The chef was very good. He was talented and funny, and made the experience memorable. The portion sizes for the food were great! There was plenty of vegetables, rice, noodles, and main entree ordered to fill the plate. Everything tasted great. We were greeted immediately upon entering and wished a farewell when we left. The overall ambiance was chill and very nice inside. I would definitely return here if I'm ever in the area! read more

This was a cool spot on our trip through Mobile Alabama. The restaurant was cool, with the typical Japanese restaurant vibe. The dinner show was fun, with the chef doing the usual tricks and getting us engaged in the cooking. I got the chicken dinner, which was really good!It's juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked fresh right in front of you. The portion is generous, and it pairs really well with the fried rice and veggies. If you like simple, tasty hibachi chicken, this place does it just right. read more

They have two seating areas, one for hibachi and one for sushi. Note: There is usually a wait for the hibachi side. The sushi rolls are always delicious. We like to try the different varieties. Next time we plan on trying the hibachi. The service was great. The soup can be very hot so let it cool down a little first or ouch! But it is worth the wait because it tastes amazing. I believe my favorite roll so far is the coconut shrimp. Although it's hard to decide. The parking lot could use sone work but hey, if it means they don't go up in the price I'll choose the lumpy gravelly parking lot... I highly recommend this place! read more

The sushi is amazing! Large quantities. Fast service! Staff is nice! Drinks are a 5/10 Food is a 10/10 read more

Been here many times and I would say it is one of the better restaurants that serves sushi in Mobile. They have hibachi/teppanyaki & sushi. Take note, it does take a while for your sushi order to arrive because they only have one or two people behind the bar to prepare everything. If interested, ask for the Korean menu as they have other offerings in addition to their usual. read more

My family took me out for my birthday dinner Sunday evening. It was my first time ever having Hibachi. Wow! I'm hooked! Everybody was so nice and helpful (I'm in a wheelchair). We had a large party, ten + a toddler, and were all able to sit around the same grill. The waitress was very attentive; our drinks were always full. The food was incredible! And the amount was mind boggling! I really enjoyed my first time! I will definitely be back! read more

Shogun - Ribeye Hibachi! OMGOSH! So much food! Yummy! - Japanese Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

We just experienced the worst meal of our lives. Sat in silence, did not eat simply because your food tasted like crap, chicken was rubber and steak was fat. By the time my entré was on my plate, my rice was freezing cold and mushy. Your "manager" is a coward and shouldn't have this job, to say the least. I did not eat tonight, and still spent $40.00. Shame on your business, shame on your servers, shame on your cooks. It was a slow Sunday and your servers managed to give us Diet Pepsi instead of sweet tea.. old food scattered all over the floor and table, FILTHY!!!! Get your act together or close your restaurant. Not to mention your online menu is completely wrong, nothing of what we read online were viable options. read more

Delicious as usual We have been here so much I should be able to do the hibachi myself. Probably cut myself but it would be worth it. Food was good as usual. Covid slowed our attendance for a while. So it's good to be back out. We have not done what we needed to do at the time. Now omicron variation is here, 3x more contagious. Guess we will need to wait again til next year Year read more

We frequent here quite often.. and today was the first time I did not enjoy my food!! The individual that cooked was horrible .. lukewarm unseasoned rice.. had to ask for more season on my steak and the entire experience was rushed.. besides the meats nothing probably was cooked for more than 45 seconds.. highly disappointed read more

Seen a lot of different reviews so let's get it strait. Food was great and I had no problem with it. Tasty and had LOTS of it. We ended up having a bunch of extras to take for leftovers. Some people said they had problems with food poisoning however me and nobody in my party of 11 got food poisoning either. Even when looking around the restaurant I saw no one that seemed bothered either. Service was great and they were very attentive. The hibachi chef was great and very interactive and made it into an even better time. Nice place there also with lots of different areas that I sadly didn't get to explore into but seems like there is plenty of space that I don't see there being a need for reservations but always check with them just in case if concerned. read more

Grimace was making the food , it was delicious and the service was incredible. I loved the small jokes and friendliness of the staff.

Horrible manager who doesn't know how to take accountability for bad service. We waited a long time while we waited and saw others that came after us get served. We completed our order way before tables that came after us. When we spoke to the manager, he had an attitude and said it's your prerogative if you would like to leave. Horrible experience!! read more

Truly wish I could give 10 stars ! Don't be fooled by appearance; This place is far superior to any high end Teppanyaki place around , everything is attention to detail all orders were perfect. Service was exceptional. The performance by the the Chef was nothing less than spectacular, as was the delicious food everything was prepared to perfection as ordered with a very skilled show of his craft Mr J, I salute you. Will definitely return. read more

We NEVER got to experience any part of the Shogun experience because we were NEVER even SEATED! We had a group of 10 people who were visiting someone who is in the ICU at Providence USA Hospital, who were starving after being there from 8:30am till 6:30pm. The restaurant was extremely busy, and we were told we would have a 30 to 40 minutes wait time, which we were all okay with. However, 40 minutes became an 70 minutes, so we were naturally already frustrated. We had asked when we'd be seated 45 minutes into the waiting process, and we were told we would be next. Well, 2 groups of 5 and another couple were seated who had come AFTER us, and that broke the camel's back for us. We confronted the owner/manager, and he acted unconcerned about our issues. We explained how he was about to lose a $500 bill not including the tips for his workers, and he had nothing to say. Needless to say, after 80 minutes of still not being seated, we left in ANGER. Shogun's in Mobile will NEVER get any of our business AGAIN! Not only that, everyone we know, and we know a LOT of folks, will hear about this, and Shogun will lose a lot of business!!!!!!! read more

Atmosphere: It's okay, it never seems super busy which makes it comfortable to hang out. The bar and table areas are meh...the Hibachi area looks cool and I always hear people laughing and having fun over there. Food: I always get the hibachi ribeye. The meat is good but you can expect some grissel. The rice and noodles are good as well as the soup. The salad dressing is exceptional. Service: pretty good, nothing to note. Overall: as a visitor here, this place is good and something I can't get at home. It's worth visiting here. read more

Great menu selection with lots of options. The cozy dining area away from the noisy main dining room is so appreciated. Their food is freshly prepared, and the service is always friendly. We've been going here for years and will continue doing so for the food and the pleasant atmosphere. read more

Ordered as takeout... The tuna and salmon was phenomenal! Great value and quality. The slices of tuna and salmon were thick. The calamari could use a little pepper seasoning or fried with peppers but at $4.99, I can't complain! The in house ginger dressing was a bit more sweet and runnier than expected, but overall 10/10. I'll be back. Great value and quality! read more

One of my favorite places to go. Always great service, great food, and can be a nice quiet date night if you sit on the sushi side.

Get the chef that does the magic tricks...he is so AWESOME. We ask for him every time. Great with kids at your table and the adults! Th soup is good ( we add a drop of soy) - salad is perfect. Plenty to eat (always want more rice).. I put the YUM YUM sauce on everything!! read more

Ordered carry out, service was great, the ambiance is relaxing wish i could sit and eat 30 minutes for lunch doesn't cut it

The hubs has been dying to come here for months, so finally we went. Definitely lived up to all the positive things that we've heard! We went on a Wednesday night relatively early (a pretty random day to get hibachi) but was seated immediately and didn't have a whole lot of waiting which was nice. I imagine that this place must be super busy on the weekends, though. Portion sizes are HUGE! Hibachi is notoriously pricey, but they do have a meal for two that has either 1) chicken, shrimp and steak OR 2) filet & shrimp for $50. Based on serving size, this is a steal ( it was enough for 2 left over meals for me ). Everything was delicious, cooked to perfection. I recommend trying the Tsing Tao beer, it's a similar taste to a Heineken. Our chef definitely had some tricks up his sleeve and a good sense of humor, which the whole table could appreciate. Will definitely be back! read more

Didnt even get 5 minutes down the road and me and my boyfriend are already sick having to pull over. told chef i had an egg allergy and he insisted i was lying and asked multiple times. then food took an hour to come after that. we both got steak hibachi and steak tasted spoiled. -5 stars do NOT recommend read more

This is one of the best hibachi restaurants in MOBtown. You get soooo much for your money and they always put on a good show. Hubs and I ordered the Geisha dinner which is filet mignon and shrimp. It comes with fried rice, noodles, veggies, and all the yum yum sauce you could want. The filet, we ordered medium, and it was cooked delicious. The shrimp were a nice large size and not over cooked. I could definitely just kept eating the rice, because it was delicious but I was trying to save room for my protein . It super packed tonight, as we went on a Saturday night. My only complaint is it is so hot in there. I know it's to be expected with all those grills going, but woo! It took forever for our checks to be processed, they seem to only have one cash register. read more

Portions for a single serve habachi big enough for two. Everyone leaves with a Togo box for sure. For us perfect on steak temp mr, ok on habachi for scallops but cooked more than my liking. Salad was the best part of meal. sushi came out was cold but was a "baked" item. Still nice service and would come back but not as amazing as locals said. read more

This is our go to for Hibachi in WeMo. I usually get a Dragon roll to go with dinner. Now, while service can be hit or miss the food has always been really good for us. As I mentioned, their sushi has always been really fresh and very well made. Go ahead and give it a try if you haven't. Eat well. read more

Great tasting food but the service is not good. The server took a long time with every evolution. The place was also very humid and hot inside. The prices are decent but we will likely try another spot before returning. read more

Try the French Kiss! It is delicious. Celebrating my mothers 87th birthday. Hibachi is so much food.

1. The food wasn't worth the money. I had a spicy tuna roll. The tuna was a paste not a slice/chunk. The wontons were dry to the point they were brittle and crunchy. No tofu in the miso soup and there were hard pieces of something in my soup. The pieces of eel in the roll were about half the size of my pinky nail and it tasted like trash. 2. The service wasn't worth the money. They have the restaurant split into a sushi side and hibachi side which is pretty standard. So, the sushi side of the restaurant was literally empty. After 20mins of waiting I brought the menu with the food order to the server... I also had to request for my drink to be refilled each time which isn't a big deal unless they are giggling and laughing with other coworkers (who are are probably also not working) and forgetting to bring your food out. 3. You're better off just staying home. Don't waste you time our money wishing you had just gone to Panda Express or Chick-fil-a instead. read more

I wasnt very impressed :( The edmeme wasn't coated well at all with the salt. All of the salt was in a pile that was in the middle. So all of the soy beans around the edges were unsalted and plain. I got the Red Dragon roll which from what I read was suppose to be at least a little spicy. (Spicy Tuna) but it didn't have even the slightest kick. Overall it wasn't that bad. I love sushi. So all of it is pretty good to me lol. read more

Just don't. I've had better sushi from Walmart. My five year old could roll a tighter sushi roll. I am all for cucumber, but both of the rolls we ordered had a large piece of cucumber that outshined all the other ingredients and not is a delightful way. Don't get me started on the fried rice with frozen vegetable melody I mean come on. The quality of the food is closer to a Chinese buffet than what I expect from a Japanese Steakhouse. Do yourself a favor and drive a quarter mile down the road to Bamboo their sushi is spot on. You won't regret it. Sidenote: I ordered to-go so no comments on service, but there was an older couple who appeared to be the owners and they greeted and said goodbye to all the guests which I found charming. Charming enough to add a star to my solid one star food. read more

This place is awesome. You get a shit ton of food for what you pay. The crab rangoon is the best I have ever eaten. The cook is entertaining and engaging. It's a really fun place to go for a date night with the wife. I knock off one star for the waitress. She was lousy and not friendly at all. Extremely slow and didn't seem to give a damn about being there. Almost 30 minutes for a mixed drink and tea refill.... She has no idea how much money she could make in that place. You have multiple tables with buzzed people who are very excited after given a show with really good food. With good service, she could probably make a few hundred dollars each night on a Friday and Saturday night. read more

My go to sushi place. Have eaten here many times and the food is always great. Service is usually very good especially if Julie is our server!! We also order carry out and the food has never let us down. The tataki (beef or tuna) is delicious, and my wife likes the house soup (which you can swap out for the miso). The hibachi is also very good, and you don't have to sit at a hibachi grill to order it. read more

My family was served spoiled steak on Father's Day! 4/7 of us are sick. -5 stars

Shogun is our go to for hibachi. You get seated quickly. Food and cooking is consistent and delicious.

Lunch is delicious and fair priced. Never been for dinner. I really enjoy their sashimi, as it is always fresh and comes with miso soup and a wonderful cucumber salad.. it's the perfect gift to myself during a hard work week. Today I ventured out and order the hibachi vegetable and my dad got the chicken. Both meals were good.. a little on the greasy side which is usually the case with hibachi meals. Again, very large portions. The lunch hibachi meal comes with noodles, fried rice and your choice of either soup or salad. The atmosphere is hip and clean and the presentation of food is always eye catching. While the the service is average, it's most often all together a decent experience. read more

This place is the definition of a crap hole. The cook dropped shells in the fried rice. Also, was clearly not experience. I'm not from this place. However, wanted to have a teppan experience while being away. I was so disappointed that while he was cooking I just paid and left to prevent any discussion etc. also, the carpet and overall place looks unclean. Zero recommendations to go here! read more
