Shogun Restaurant - Shogun special every time from favorite Chef Hugo!!! - Japanese Near Me - Corona, California

Duuude, I had such an amazing time here. I went with my grandmother and my cousin and the food was just DELICIOUS. Thank you so much Alex for your great service and amazing cooking! We weren't joking when we said our nana is a tough critic. You made her food PERFECTLY as well as ours! Our Server Steven, such a great person! Love his personality and the way he checked in on us! You don't get that a lot while you're out at restaurants anymore. He always made sure we had everything we needed and more. Thank you Steven and Alex! read more

Our recent visit to your Shogun Japanese Restaurant, chosen by my husband to celebrate Father's Day. Our anticipation for a special family meal was unfortunately tempered by several service issues that we believe warrant your attention. Upon being seated, our party experienced a significant delay of approximately forty-five minutes before a chef was assigned to our table to commence the cooking process. This initial wait was further compounded when, upon the chef's eventual arrival, it became apparent that he did not have all the necessary ingredients readily available to prepare the meals for our group of eight, causing additional minor delays. Despite these operational challenges, we were pleased to observe a notable improvement in our dining experience once the chef began cooking and actively engaging with our table. The quality of the cuisine was exceptional, with everyone thoroughly enjoying the delicious food prepared. However, we must also highlight a comfort issue that affected our overall experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The air conditioning system appeared to be insufficient in counteracting the considerable heat generated by the hibachi cooking tables, leading to a somewhat uncomfortably warm environment throughout our meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We trust this feedback will be valuable in identifying areas for improvement to ensure a more consistently seamless and comfortable dining experience for your future patrons.

I have been coming here for years now. Unfortunately, although still super popular and crowed they have a bar, sushi section, music and the main room of hibachi grills the service has just kind of went down hill a bit. Reservation at 7pm, seated within minutes but food didn't start cooking until 7:36pm cook was really friendly, fast and did all the tricks such as the volcano, heartbeat and knife spinning. Got my drink wrong, did not cook or serve one of my proteins. Also I noticed the noodles had no veggies on them. read more

Came here for a friends birthday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty cool place to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You sat around a fire grill and a chef cooked for you. Made it into a show which made it more entertaining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server takes your order and brings you out your appetizers first as the chef is cooking what you ordered. They also sell sushi rolls on the side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a fun place to bring the kids.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Don't come here unless you wanna get seated, just to wait another hour to get your order taken and then another hour to get you a chef to cook your food. They had us waiting even with 15 employees working that night with only 6 other tables. Unless you have the time to waste of course. Food was mid. And they fill you up with rice and barely any meat read more

What an awesome experience, Adam was our chef and he delivered dinner and a show! 5 star service!! He was entertaining and cooked all of our orders perfectly, checked in for food allergies and our server stayed on top of service, swapping out dishes and having our drinks topped off. Portions are big and everything was fresh! Quality food and superb service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was plenty of parking, inside is a relaxed atmosphere, all the staff was helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We enjoyed a drink at the bar before being seated and they have TV's to watch games. read more

Me and my family arrive around 7:15 pm for regular dining and didn't leave until 9:25pm. We knew what we wanted and ordered within less than 10 minutes. Somehow we had to wait an hour just for our main course to arrive. Once it did arrive, the food was cold and looked like it was microwaved. Towards the end of our dinner we had to wait for a single refill and our bill. They did apologize to us and would say "if you need anything else let me know", but they were rarely around. So service and food here isn't the same anymore and that's coming from someone who has been coming here for years. Heartbreaking ;( read more

Phenomenal food and we loved our waiter he had music Fun Birthday Party Thank you for all your hard work cooking!

Fined here on 11/20 and checked out at 1pm. I believe our servers name was Steve? Awkward customer service. No pre-bussing of the table. Service was slow. Our server was found in the back on his phone while several tables sat waiting. We also waited way too long for our cash change to be returned. Severs should carry a bank if they have to wait for change from someone else especially during the lunch hour. Will not be back to dine here. read more

Shogun Restaurant - Server didn't pre buss our table. Left all this when dropping the check - Japanese Near Me - Corona, California

My wife and I wanted a nice meal tonight and choose this place. Walked in and asked for a table, was told there was a 10 min wait. Was not asked if we wanted a table or teppan grill. After 5 min (not a bad wait time so far) we were taken back to the teppan grill area. I mentioned to the hostess that we wanted a table and not teppan. She said no problem and took us to the table seating area. She then proceeded to tell me that there was no wait for the table area and reservations were for the teppan grills only. I mentioned that I did not make a reservation, was a walk in and was not asked which table I wanted. She then says 'ok' as if it was my mistake. Our waitress arrived and took our order (drinks and food). Drinks arrived quickly, however, no water was delivered to the table. After a few minutes our sushi roll arrived. No extra plate for my wife and I to share, no little saucer for soy sauce and no soy sauce. Had to ask for both. After a 15 min wait our yakisoba and fried rice arrived. Again, as we were sharing, I had to ask for two extra plates for the food. Another 5 min go by and our steamed rice arrived. Terrible food delivery sequence. Was not asked if we wanted another drink (my beer glass was empty and had been since our sushi roll arrived) or if there was anything else we wanted. The waitress did not come back to our table until we flagged her down. Terrible service. The food was not bad but the service and atmosphere were horrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a family seated behind us with two young boys that were so loud my ears started to hurt. The manager came over to their table and talked for a few minutes as he knew them but did not ask the kids to stop running around and annoying other guests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Look, I have children and know what it is like not go out to eat with little boys but come on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The boys were playing on the floor right next to our table![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will NEVER return to this place! Unfortunately I have to give at least 1 star to rate but would give a -1 star if I could. HORRIBLE! Do not go here. Terrible service, rude wait staff. read more

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by a shotgun chef Adam who was nothing short of outstanding. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, efficient, and genuinely impressive. He handled everything with confidence and skill, moving quickly without ever making us feel rushed. The food came out perfectly timed and incredibly flavorful you could tell he really knows his craft. Beyond the quality of the cooking, his professionalism and attitude stood out the most. He was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's rare to find someone who works with such precision while still bringing great energy to the space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you ever get the chance to work with him, consider yourself lucky he truly elevates the entire dining experience. Highly recommend! Honorable mention is also our waitress Elisha read more

Shogun Restaurant - Chef Adam !! - Japanese Near Me - Corona, California

First and foremost the service. From the moment we were welcome in by the hostess Joe immediately he exhibited a greeting with a genuine smile. After realizing my son had Autism his compassion was breathtaking he was quick to help making my son happy while waiting 30min for a table. Then while waiting the gentleman at the Sushi Bar (Emilio). Who Was so kind and helpful enough to point out happy hour and I had the best shrimp tempura so fresh and hot, not oily. When we got to our table, our server who also greeted us with a kind smile and thanked us for our patience, Alyssa was so thoughtful and kind and generous and compassionate again towards my son with autism. You have to understand that I was beyond touched by all these people's kindness and generosity because people normally ignore someone with special needs or an elderly person every staff there took the time to talk to him and acknowledge him as if though he was just another normal customer or young child. Then we get our amazing chef Adam this man can cook. I strongly recommend asking for him when going there you will not be disappointed in anything he makes. Normally, I do not order the chicken because it's always dry and just not very flavorful however, Adam knows how to use garlic butter and pepper. It was fantastic. He was also so playful with my son. He even went above and beyond to make a bunny rabbit out of the rice. I then went over to talk with the managers, Analy, Samantha, and Jonathan and I could see why all these employees are such kind hearted people because they are being led by a team That is as sweet, nice and compassionate as everybody I encountered from the moment, I walk-through the doors. I strongly encourage you if you're reading this to have all family or business functions at this location hats off to Shogun's in Corona for showing that compassion and appreciation for you choosing to dine at their location and going above and beyond, in customer service is still taught and modeled by upper management. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean family friendly and entertaining.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wanted to treat my sister and mom for an early mother's day dinner 05/08. We were seated right away and were quickly greeted by our server for dinks and apps. I don't remember her name I feel so bad about that but it started with an "N" and she was a beautiful asian woman. Rigo was our chef and was so great and made the kids excited for the onion tower. Everyone here was so nice and attentive the manager even greeted our table and gave our kiddos little toys while we waited for the chef. As a waitress myself I notice everything without saying anything. This time I felt as though I needed to write review due to the attentiveness of everyone around us. We really appreciate great service and food! read more

Shogun Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Corona, California

Shogun is my favorite Teppan restaurant ! They have the best options for vegans and vegetarians. They will cook my food first and separate so as to not mix with the meat on the grill. They have the very best dish - Tofy Delight The fried tofu is delicious with teriyaki or sauce or without and the portion size is quite large. Big enough to share because everyone wants to try what you have ! The veggies are onions mushrooms zucchini and red peppers - delicious! Always great service here. In my experience if you have a reservation and there are not enough people to fill a table, they will seat you and cook just for you. I appreciate that. Great food and great service. One of Our families favorite restaurants. Any of the Shoguns Corona, Rancho Cucamonga or La Verne. read more

Came here for Christmas Day dinner. Had reservations for 4:00pm, was seated at 4:10pm, front end service with drinks was very slow. Our teppan chef arrived to our table about 5:10pm ish and soup and salad was served. 60 minute wait for soup /salad was unacceptable. Why have a 4:00pm reservation if you dont have staff scheduled? Marvin, our teppan chef made up for the long wait and did an excellent job and was entertaining, and our second server kicked it up as well. We will be back and will request Marvin! We just hope the frontend wait is not an hour. read more

Me and my husband were in the Corona area looking for a place to have lunch and decided to try Shogun Teppan Restaurant. We were seated at a few minutes along side another family with kids at a timely manner. For appetizer we got the Shrimp and Vegetable tempura which was satisfyingly crispy and yummy. From then we ordered the FILET MIGNON & SCALLOPS to SHARE which included either a side of soup or salad. We chose the salad which always hits. Also upgraded the steam rice to Chicken Fried Rice. This place was like your average Teppan steak place with separate dining areas for Teppan or direct order seating. When it came to Cooking our food here are our THOUGHTS & HIGHLIGHTS TO KEEP NOTE OF: -First off our Chef had his own speaker that he brought to the table for extra music on the side. Which was nice BUT, a bit too much one cuz I couldn't hear his questions as it was TOO loud for me. -The entertainment was as expected HOWEVER, somewhat understandably he was more so Focused on the toddler that was seated at our table. Really ONLY interacted with us for confirmation about our order and how it tastes. -The Chicken Fried Rice was flavorful & crispy -Vegetables well cooked, softened enough to leave a nice bite. -Scallops were glistening and my favorite because they just melted in your mouth. *HOWEVER THE REASON WHY WE GAVE 2 STARS* - Is because the disappointing part of our experience was not being served the CORRECT MEAT. At first we couldn't tell or be sure that we received the FILET MIGNON OR Other CUT OF MEAT and we did not want to make a scene. However as we were eating, knowing the Filet Mignon is a lean cut of meat we should have not received ANY full pieces that were almost entirely Fatty. Unfortunately half way through eating, we encountered such a piece of meat. Indicating to us that we were not served correctly. Overall the quality of food and ambience was satisfactory at best. Leaving the mistake in service as our biggest demerit for Shogun Restaurant. read more

Had lunch here today. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean & friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered off the lunch menu. My sons was to come w filet & scallops- chef gave him a New York. Chewy and lack of flavor. I ordered colossal shrimp, scallop and squid. I was given regular shrimp. Shrimp was over cooked- like rubber. Scallops under cooked- one guy in separate party asked for his scallops raw in the middle (gross). All the seafood was fishy with NO LEMON. I had to ask a few times to get lemon for the food. The fried rice, onion soup and salad was delicious. Idk if I would go back. read more

Shogun has gone downhill and fast.... Filet had about 5 or 6 pieces of meat the veggies weren't the same micro mushrooms and added potatoes to the mix...

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The chef show is good if you have roughly 1.5 hrs to spend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you dont, they have tables without cooking show.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lunch and dinner have the same portions however dinner is more expensive 30-40% give or take. read more

Came here 45 mins before closing and they still served us on the Hibachi grill. Elisa was our server. She was very nice, and had a great smile. She was very attentive and even assisted us on how to do a sake bomb for my birthday celebration. Our cook was Adam, omg my face hurts from laughing so much. His service, personality and all around skills made my birthday very nice. We drive from Moreno Valley for the experience and we definitely would come here again! Thank you for the delicious food! And plenty of left overs... read more

Diane and I ate here for the first time for a dinner seating with other guests, and although there were a few bumps in the road, we generally liked our overall dining experience. Service was good when we received it, but it seemed like our assigned teppanyaki grill master must have missed a rotation. Then, when we finally received a grill master, the grill would not heat up properly, so we had to move to another grill. Because of these glitches, without any request the manager took 50% off all bills for diners at our grill, which I thought was a nice gesture. We began with a Kamikaze Roll for me, and Shrimp Tempura for Diane. The large sushi roll was excellent, with mild Eel Sauce, somewhat spicy Dragon Sauce, Spicy Tuna, and cucumber and avocado to cool down the heat. The Shrimp Tempura was hot and very good. Onion Soup was real tasty. And Salad with a fine light dressing was good, but did not include tomatoes. Green Tea helped wash everything down. There was a real long break between the salad course and cooking of entrees and sides. When it was at last cooked on a working grill, Chicken Fried Rice was excellent, but my Filet was more rare than medium rare as ordered. Vegetables and other cooked food, like shrimp, were well prepared and tasted very good. Because we were celebrating my birthday, I received a colorful samurai's paper headpiece and a complimentary Brown Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream as a cool treat. XXX-1/2 stars overall! read more

I've been to this location over three times already--sometimes even twice in the same week! I absolutely love the food. It's definitely a loud atmosphere, but that's to be expected, and it adds to the lively vibe. The service at this location has always been great. The servers consistently check on drink refills, ask about food allergies, and accommodate any preferences you have. You can even request specific sauces from your chef, which is a nice touch. They're very attentive and make sure everything is just right. I recently celebrated my birthday here, and it was such an enjoyable experience. Our chef made the night extra fun for both the adults and the kids, which we really appreciated. The food is amazing--especially the ribeye, which I order every time. I like to ask for teriyaki sauce on the side and drizzle it over everything. While the food is already incredible on its own, the sauce takes the flavor to another level! I highly recommend this location. Enjoy and happy eating! read more

Total miss on the teppanyaki. The fried rice came out first and was decent. The noodles and vegetables were just okay. You can get by with mid sides but where we lost the plot was the awful steak. I ordered the filet mignon and it had no taste. The grill flavoring I think was too overpowering and should've maybe had a cleaning before everyone's steak. Sushi was good and drinks delicious. Overall $190 for 2 people not really worth it. Also felt like we waited 45mins before chef came to start cooking. read more

So I had some business near Riverside that my wife joined me for. On the way home we saw a Shogun off the freeway in Corona and thought we'd stop in for lunch. Mind you I grew up near the original Shogun in Pasadena, so we use that as our measuring stick. I have to say we were pleasantly surprised by a familiar face. Eric Niera that managed the Pasadena restaurant had moved to be the General manager in Corona. The setting was familiar ( decoration wise), but much to our surprise the menu was slightly different. New vegetables, the inclusion of Yakisoba noodles all included for lunch. The Head Chef Hugo had a great show and the food was perfect. In fact it was a larger portion and turns out a few dollars cheaper per plate. Elisha was our server and she seemed to always be there when we wanted something, without being intrusive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I must say, Eric has brought a familiar vibe and the customers that we saw seemed to really enjoy it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only bummer is that we are going to split our time between Pasadena and Corona ! read more

Shogun Restaurant - Lunch portion - Japanese Near Me - Corona, California

Absolute waste of money. Super overpriced for some mediocre food. 8 of us and the bill was $450. They fill you up on rice, give you a half a chicken breast, some vegetables, and call it good. I could've cooked this WHOLE meal at home for less than $100. The dude cooking was on his phone a bunch and had dirty cooking habits. He was obviously super exhausted and wasn't entertaining or engaging our group. This was a Birthday party and we were all super disappointed. read more

Boy oh boy. This place was a bummer especially on a day to celebrate a special birthday...smiles turned into dreading sighs. You know that moment where you are super excited to go celebrate a birthday and watch a cool chef make some cool trips... well we got none of that. The chef came out making snide and unnecessary comments to the main birthday person, who does that? Well that chef did. If you want to celebrate your birthday, don't come here. You'll have a better time at Gen, trust me. Luckily, our server was super kind and understood the situation. But the chef, he was another story. Not only did he make rude comments as he tried to be funny, the meat was cooked badly and used a ton of butter. We ordered different combination meals, lots of sushi, and seared tuna salad. The salad took a long time and came a few minutes after the sushi, how does that happen? The place was not even busy! Sushi was good; I'll give them that. We talked to the manager and got a percentage off the full price, but it was still unacceptable behavior and such a poor turn out of this place. We didn't receive a follow up. I had to get up and talk to the manager about again to see what the action steps are to resolve this issue, if there's any. Oh by the way, parking is shared with other places like a gym and etc. Parking was a breeze, but def not a place to go back. read more
