Ahhhh! Been eating here prior Covid times, everyday at lunch! I kept coming back due to the freshness of the fish! Today, i went back to visit because I miss the place. Yepppp , fish is still fresh and amazing. Because i enjoyed the food too much, i forgot to take photos. I highly recommend salmon sashimi, yellow tail sashimi, poke salad (very unique flavoring!) And the handrolls! read more

This place is yummy. Looks like a small business kinda spot and that means we gotta support it and if you look at the low ratings on this Yelp looks like a lot of snooty ppl being chicken shit cuz when I came in they were kind the sushi chef is rocking out with a smile on his face and the food was delicious! Thank you guys! read more

We love this place! It's the best local spot and the sushi is super fresh. John is amazing and so friendly. If you come, you better like good music. read more

Took my wife and her parents here, incredible experience! The food was amazing and authentic, and priced very fairly.

Hole in the wall with surprisingly fresh seafood, with a great local owner. Been here 3-4 times. It's great every time. Everything is fresh. Service has a little bit of a lag, but it's a great atmosphere. read more

The most AMAZING sushi experience. Went on a double date for some sushi last night and the staff was super nice. The server was really sweet and interactive with us and the chef entertained us with his sweet dance moves. 10/10 recommend and definitely will be back! Check out the video for the entertainment. read more

Shogun Restaurant - Crunchy Cut Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Music was sooooooo loud and we were the only ones in the place. The sushi was flat out bad and one roll I had one bite and knew the fish was bad. Sure enough both my husband and I got sick hours after we left. Would never go back. The waitress was very sweet. read more

We had so many reasons to love this place! The zero roll is a must have! The sushi is very amazingly prepared. I had to rock out with Johnny the chef because his taste in music is epic!! I am a spicy tuna sucker, hands down my favorite! But I had too much fun and the food is beautiful! read more

If you want extremely loud music and to be assaulted this is the place for you. I took my family to Shogun last night, and we were seated at a table right under the speaker. Although we enjoy music, the volume was so loud that we couldn't hear each other sitting right beside one another. When my daughter asked the staff if we could change tables, the lady working there responded, but her words were drowned out by the music. We decided to move anyway, gathering our things, including the menus. In the process, the lady working there slapped the menu out of my wife's hand. We left immediately, with the lady attempting to stop us. We won't be back. We ended up at The Hangout across the street with a far better experience. read more

sushi was amazing! chef and server were awesome, server was very sweet and recommend great rolls. chef was full of energy and made our night with his jokes. feels real old school in the restaurant, which i personally enjoy. most of the bad reviews on this place are the type of people who don't consider the employees as actual people. grow up, they're making YOUR food so treat them respectfully and you'll get respect in return! shogun is a 10/10! read more

Came here for lunch today at 1:30 the guy working there refused to see me said he could not take any more customers due to the fact that he had about six day drinkers sitting at the bar and he was overwhelmed. Didn't look too clean. read more

Being from out of town and visiting my parents The overall experience was good, the sashimi and sushi were tasty and fresh. The host, server and the owner was very present. Although they are short on staffs and it's shows. The portions are definitely smaller than I used to being from Buffalo, NY. The menu here is mainly Sushi's bar style now since I visited here three times. The Ambiance can used some flair and refreshing upgrades also. read more

Shogun Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Went with my wife on a Friday night. It is a fun loud sushi bar with fresh fish and classic rock playing. The owners are fun and get the locals to sing along to the music and have a good time. We had 4 rolls that we both shared and had a fun time. read more

First time here, it is loud, service is very slow, chef vibes to much to the music that's why food takes forever. He's fun and everything but if you're on a time crunch go somewhere else. read more

First time here in a long time. The food was very good, sashimi portions large. Service was fine. Only issue is that the place needs a big upgrade. It does not look clean, floors are really bad and appear dirty. I realize things have been tough the past couple years but an upgrade is in order Other than that, the food was very good. read more

One of my favorite sushi places in HB. The sushi is always fresh. Every roll is delicious. And the ambiance is great. Staff is super friendly. read more

My girlfriend and I came into town to beat the Las Vegas heat. We were craving some good sushi so we stumbled upon Shogun Sushi just before closing time. The owner John greeted us with a huge smile and he made us the best sushi we have ever had. John has the best personality and makes the best sushi. So if you can look past the small and non-fancy atmosphere, the sushi and friendly owner will totally make up for it! read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for the last 10 years. No exaggeration. It used to be such a great place for sushi in a casual environment. The owner/sushi chef has lost his skill. The last two times the food comes out in the wrong order and the food comes out individually. My wife has to wait 15 min for her order to come out while I I eat mine so it does not get cold. Then I watch her eat ... and as I said before, we order the Sashimi before the meal but Tara comes out afterwards? I am not trying to offend anyone when I say this, but it has totally turned into a red neck sushi bar. I love rednecks - very cool' people, and down to earth but generally speaking, they do not go to the French Laundry or Rubichon's and have a discriminating pallet. If your a red neck and like basic Japanese food, this is your place, otherwise avoid at all cost. read more

I have been to Shogun in the past, but it was before I started Yelping. However, after I met the owner golfing, I decided to visit again. Shogun is on Bolsa Chica & Heil in HB. I ordered the following: Salmon skin roll, spider roll, hotate, ikura w/ quail egg, kani, unagi, amaebi w/ fried heads and hamachi. All of the foregoing was about $43 during HH. The seafood was super fresh, and the portions were large for the price. I was so hungry after not eating for 6 1/2 hours. But afterwards, I was so content. Regarding the ambiance, its a small, quaint place and I liked it. There are only six seats at the sushi bar, so it makes you feel like you are at home. Likewise, the service from John the owner was da kine. I arrived @ 2:30, a 1/2 hour before closing prior to re-opening @ 5. John was willing to craft some excellent sushi for me bc he knew I was hungry! Shogun has been in biz nearly 20 years for a reason. John is a hard working, super friendly guy, who is living the American dream. He makes you feel right at home which translates into an excellent experience. read more

We just moved here from Virginia and I was feeling homesick for my go-to sushi. I am so happy I found Shogun -- I am incredibly picky about my sushi and this is the freshest best sushi I've ever had! When I arrived to place a carry-out order, I really appreciated the fact that they were honest that they had gotten all 6 tables at the same time and the wait would be long. It worked out since I had errands to run nearby. When I came back, they were so kind and friendly. I got the opportunity to sit at the sushi bar while they finished up my order and noticed EVERYONE in this hole in the wall was having a wonderful time -- such positive vibes. From the atmosphere to the service to the BEST SUSHI - I couldn't recommend trying this place more! I'm so happy to have found my go-to sushi place here in California read more

Delicious food, attentive staff, cool looking older sushi spot, has been around for decades and i finally tried it and really enjoyed it

Ordered rolls and sashimi, both great! The Zero Roll was really really good. No rice using crabmeat as an alternative - with several different kinds of fish. Also had salmon and tuna sashimi, and salmon rolls. All was delicious. Ambiance is cool, kinda old school vibe which we enjoyed. Service was excellent. Can't wait to go back! read more

I never leave bad reviews unless it's really bad... I hate to bash small places, but the old lady that works here is SO rude. I placed an order to pickup, but I called back a few minutes later because I forgot to add an extra plate to my order... when I came in she yelled at me in front of the restaurant "CANT YOU SEE HOW BUSY WE ARE AND YOU'RE CALLING US TWICE?!" ummm, no, I cannot see how busy you are through a telephone... Sorry for the inconvenience and spending my money at your restaurant! I won't be returning. Some people just should not work directly with customers. Food was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'll be going to Tama Sushi across the street now, service there is much better. =( read more

I ordered a baked roll, took about 35-40 minutes and the chef was talking shit about my impatience to another customer. Obviously I made it clear it had been 40 minutes and it was weird to talk shit about me while I'm there. I don't recommend this place and will not be back. read more

The majority of Orange County sushi bars are horrid disgraces to Japanese culture, other than being the last bastion of CA conservatives (FJB) the people here just have no taste which keeps overrated shltholes like Buddha's Favorite open but if you look hard enough you find places like this and Shunka in Costa Mesa that are total gems. This place has been around for a long time so maybe someday HB actually has a chance at not being a vapid hellhole. This is a classic hole in the wall sushi bar, no frills but the quality and pride is very apparent here. Everything I ordered was good and the waitress Kim was super sweet and funny. read more

Ordered two rainbow rolls to go and service was quick and friendly. The fish was very fresh and they did not skimp out on portions. Will be returning! also the place has an old school traditional vibe, very cute inside! read more

I've tried countless sushi places, and I gotta say this is probably the worst of them all. Completely inedible. Not only was it slimy and gooey, but our rolls had the wrong fish. I really hate to leave bad reviews, but this one deserved it. read more

Very good lunch we just had here. The tuna sashimi was fresh and soft shell crab was super yummy. My wife had the firecracker rolls - good as well (although she wished she had a few extra pieces!) price is moderately high but quality is good. read more

Such delicious sushi, such poor rude service. My friend and I went in there and never had almost any acknowledgement, short questions and answers when ordering. Kim was chatting and smiling and hugging everyone else and wouldn't even look at us when she was at our table. It took us 2 hours to order 2 rolls and some sushi pieces. read more

I have been going here for over 20 years . I always have to deal with the sane lady . I asked her if she was Wife of the sushi chef and she said no, but she has been there for years. I hate dealing with her. She always has an attitude she always trying to rush you. It makes me not wanna go so I don't go very much because I always have to deal with her. read more

I was not hungry but wanted to have warm rice and hot soup for the dinner. The old lady recommended me this roll and it was really delicious to me. Warm rice was wrapped in a cruch coat. Tuna was not smelly or dried. There were crunch shrimp and avocado inside the roll as well.. The miso soup was hot enough to warm my body. Tonight was kinda windy.:) Thank you for the nice meal. Please continously make nice and warm food for many people! read more

Shogun Restaurant - Crunch roll with tuna and shrimp - Sushi Bars Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Tried out this local place the other day. The two owners were extremely friendly to their regulars, which at times felt like they were prioritizing regulars over new faces. As for the food itself.. the rice in my nigiri was warm and was not seasoned. They were also out of about half of the items I ordered. I think their cooked food may be another story but I went in only for sushi. I could live with the service but warm, unseasoned rice under fairly average/mediocre fish isn't worth a second visit for me. read more

Wow! I just had the albacore special roll and the Jeff roll... best sushi I've had in a while. So glad I went here today! The staff is great and the owner Chang is a very sweet man! read more

Hands down the best sushi spot in Huntington Beach. My husband and I always come here and order too much, and then we eat it all anyway. The sushi chef/owner is so awesome and funny. He always takes such good care of us. We love the Trust Me roll, F.N.G. roll, Las Vegas roll, the Super HB roll. We love them all. You can't go wrong here. Their salmon skin salad is really good, too. Once, we ordered five rolls and some sushi pieces, ate everything, and the owner was so impressed, he treated us to a tempura Oreo or something. Amazing. read more

Sometimes all you want in life is good sushi without the pretentiousness aura around it. And that's exactly what you'll get at Shogun - good freshly made sushi that comes with warm service you rarely see anymore at big chain sushi places. Yes, I can go all day about how awesome John is and and how you'll never leave the place as soon as you talk about golf with him - but all other reviews have already talked about it so I'll skip to my other experiences eating here. Surprisingly enough, this was the first time I've tried Shogun. My standard for a sushi restaurant is the salmon nigiri sushi, your standard spicy tuna roll and unagi roll. Although the prices for nigiri is a little high, I'm ok considering how large they are. Also, the ratio of fish to rice is spot on. The place itself is small with about 10-ish tables and about 8 chairs at the sushi bar. I came here on a Thursday night and there wasn't a wait at all so you should be ok. Parking is abundant btw. Come for the fresh sushi but stay for the golf memorabilia above the sushi bar! Highly recommend this place. read more
