We came to celebrate my mother's 83rd birthday. Our chef Harry was awesome! He was very funny and personable! I ordered an Alaskan roll to start and it was nice sized and tasted fresh. For dinner I had the filet mignon with colossal shrimp. My filet was perfectly cooked medium rare, however my shrimp was slightly over cooked. Our waitress unfortunately was not so good. She didn't offer us refills and we hardly saw her. We had to keep asking other waitresses for drinks. Overall dinner was good and reasonably priced. 100 for two orders of sushi, teriaki chicken and colossal shrimp, kids shrimp meal and filet mignon with colossal shrimp plus a coke.

The food was ok. We were willing to pay the pricey dinner for the entertainment. We were celebrating a birthday and the show was subpar and borderline sad. I was excited to bring the celebrants there for the experience and it was very disappointing. read more

Excellent food and service. It was easy to make a reservation. The wait time wasn't long and the cook was pretty amazing.O

We had a party of 9 and didn't know we had to make a reservation!!! They put us in the sushi area. We come to shogun for the teppan grill style but no Bc of covid they are only take reservations. So we waited over 3 hours to get a table and told us they only seat 8 to a table. Furious to say the least.FYI Make reservations for shoguns!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Shogun Restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Temecula, California

We love this location. We've been going to these style restaurants for years and this one's food is a step above. The chiefs are great and add a lot of different jokes to the experience which keeps it fresh. Only improvement that could be made is some remodeling to the restaurant. It's looking dated and not maintained. Overall we love it read more

Ate here tonight for someone's birthday and the food was awesome! Our server Savanna was amazing. She tended to our every need and really went above and beyond making it a great experience! We'll definitely be back. Thanks Savanna and the Shogun staff! read more

Went there today and the food and service was amazing! Marissa was our server and Brendan was our chef and they were amazing!

Always come here for the sushi. Fish is fresh, good presentation and portions. Great prices. read more

Grand daughter's birthday, she chose Shogun. We had reservations, which is a must in a Teppan type restaurant. We were promptly seated, Alex our 'showman/chef' was entertaining and good at what he does. The kids were thoroughly entertained. Food quality was marginal. Calimari Steak was not fresh, very 'fishy', in the seafood option. I had big globs of fat in my rib eye steak. I don't know what's in the food, MSG?, my daughter had to use the bathroom as soon as we got home. Service was great. Last time we go to Shogun. read more

Great location near mall. Parking might be tight on a busy evening. Reservation requires on time arrival or surrender slot. A fun place. Chefs cook teppan style. Also sushi bar and regular restaurant tables. Sushi bar empty when we were there. Plenty of tables available. But the teppan was packed. Kinda noisy hard to have conversation across table. But still great fun. Methinks it's time to scrub better. read more

Never has any reservations available !!! It's crazy! Can't wait for Benihanas to open across the road!! If you do walk in they tell you 30 min and then when the 30 min it's still another 20-30. It's ridiculous!!! read more

The food and service was great! They were a little backed up but they made sure to accommodate us while we were waiting to start the show. I have no complaints really but that this is a great place to celebrate a birthday. read more

Shogun Restaurant - Onion soup yummmmm - Japanese Near Me - Temecula, California

I used to be a loyal customer at Shogun, celebrating my daughter's birthday here every year. With the opening of Benihana's nearby, it feels like Shogun may have lost most of their skilled chefs and cut corners to boost profits. Zero entertainment value and the food was crap at our latest visit. Nearby tables looked to be having the same experience. Management was disinterested in our complaints. Won't come back. read more

Brendan! Aka Nighthawk was fantastic! We had such a great experience for our daughter's birthday!

Food is delicious but the chef made the night. Gesfer was our chef tonight and he was hilarious, did awesome tricks, and made sure everyone was having a good time. We've been to teppanyaki before at multiple locations but Gesfer is definitely the best! We'll definitely be recommending him next time. read more

See all

Yum! Always a good time and our go to for special occasions. The fried rice is the best!

I see mixed reviews for this place, but I really thought it was fantastic. I'm not sure what people expect when they visit a Tepanyaki restaurant, but it delivered on everything I expected. I do think they need to upgrade the air conditioning as it was pretty warm but it was a hot day and the heat coming from the table side cooking was around. Overall, great staff and food. I'll gladly come back. read more

This place is a true 5 star. We visited recently to celebrate a birthday with the family. We made reservations in advance and we showed up we were immediately seated. The place is clean and bright! Very fun atmosphere. Our drinks and soup came quickly. The waitress was very prompt. The chef then showed up and put on a great show. The food was delicious. And the portions were huge. For the quality and quantity the prices were unbelievably good. We will be back soon. read more

I rarely leave reviews but after 10 yrs of experiencing 5 star service from accommodating all of my crazy food request to squeezing me on the grill last minute with no reservation multiple chefs in particular I would like to shoutout Jonathan and Brendan they both really give their all and make the food exactly to your liking Jonathan has consistently made the best buttery medium rare steak while Brendan just delivered the best fried rice I have ever eaten shout-out to Romeo as well one of the best efficient servers lastly the ladies at the front always kind and management always trying to improve the experience or rectify any shortcomings easily the best shogun and or teppan grill in so cal read more

Came here for the first time for the FirstTeam Holiday party. The service was great, the food was delicious and the ambiance was fun. I've already scheduled our second visit to celebrate my husband's birthday. read more

The service was great. The hostess even brought out anniversary ice cream for my wife and I and a couple we were with who are also celebrating their anniversary same day.. The cool was great. talented. The food is also very tasty. They give free fried rice with our orders. He better have a big appetite when you go in there cause it's a lot of food. read more

There was a manger there, I think named Joe? He was very rude towards his own staff and yelled at them even if they did nothing wrong. It put a bad taste in my mouth, even though the food itself was good. read more

This place is great for groups! Celebrated my aunts birthday here! There is something for everyone ! Great combination meals! They have teppanyaki and hot pot! Service was great ! Fun place to go eat ! read more

We love it here! We go at-least once a week. Food is great! Service is great! Especially Ivy!!! She is always pleasant and helpful!! Love it here. read more

Hhmmmm... the food is amazing, and the service is mostly great. However, I went there to celebrate a friends birthday on 3/2. We sat in the dinning room next to the bar and We ordered sushi and some drinks. The server named Michelle never came to check on us, so we had to ask another server for help and to inquire about our sushi. Finally after 45-50 minutes after our cooked food arrived is when the sushi got to the table and shortly after puff.. there comes Michelle. She asked about our food and we expressed our frustration on the lateness of the sushi.. and she had the audacity to ask what we wanted her to do about it. With complete attitude and disregard to customer service.. Michelle needs extensive training or motivation to find a new job!!. read more

Had the best chef Brendan! Would absolutely recommend him everytime! The food was quick and delicious and as a needy costumer he made sure we had all our sauces! read more

Our chef was brand new and he didn't fully perform an entire routine because he was still in training. So he used out table as practice and he did a great job. I love getting the new person for some reason and being a part of the training process. Maybe because I know it's hard and everyone has to learn somewhere. But even with that he did very well because he was funny and the food was absolutely delicious. Pricing was fair for the amount of food. I got the seafood combination and I was stuffed by the end. read more

Shogun Restaurant - The seafood is VERY fresh - Japanese Near Me - Temecula, California

Very weird experience. I ordered shrimp fried rice and they brought me chicken fried rice instead. When I brought it to their attention they took the dish back and pretended to remake it. They brought out the same dish of chicken fried rice but put 4 pieces of shrimp on top. When I brought it to their attention that there was still chicken in the rice they said that all of their rice comes with chicken in it. This was a complete lie and they were just trying to get out of remaking the rice. They showed no remorse for getting the order wrong and they really tried to convince me that all of the rice came with chicken instead of just admitting to their mistake and making the dish over. read more

Great food and service. Had a group of 9 with a reservation and table was ready. The hibachi chef did a nice job and very entertaining. Great way to spend a birthday read more

i love shogun the food is amazing and i think the fried rice is the best dish right next to the steak.

So amazing!! I have no idea what these other people are talking about. We had the most amazing meal. It was my husband's 52nd birthday and it was awesome. All of the staff was on point and bringing us our food. More than that our food was so flavorful and amazing. I highly recommend. Thanks read more

We ordered ribeye, filet mignon, shrimp and scallops. It was all amazing!! Romeo went over and beyond with his customer service. Our cook did cute tricks for us. Definitely coming back read more

Always a good time here. Just keep in mind that' you'll be sitting for about 2 hours.

We went for lunch today, the food and service were outstanding. Even at lunch the portions are huge. I got the seared salmon roll UMM! I also got the ribeye and grilled shrimp, and of course the fried rice is to die for. Can't wait to go back!! read more

I ordered shogun for pick up and they forgot one of my meals so I waited an additional 20 minutes so they can prep, then they gave me all my meals and not until I got home that i realized that they forgot all the sides on my son's meal.( birthday boy ) I called them and they wouldn't come drop off the missing sides and was told to call manager next day for refund. Manager gave me refund for the sides only, she should have given me a full refund. My son did eat the meat alone and it's not the same. It ruined his meal. WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN FOR PICK UP!! read more

I was excited to come here for my birthday but I was very disappointed. I hadnt been to one of these type of resturants(Benihanna) in a long time. We drove 45 miles; Let's cut to the chase: 1) The guy who cut the food was boring. He did't even keep my son's attention who has down syndrom and loves this kind of stuff. My aunt was more excited to look at the other guys having fun at his table. The best thing he could so was flip an egg shell on his head and make a pac man out of rice? 2) The food was expensive and not that great; It was as good as the $7 food I could get in the Cerritos Mall. I think the terryaki chicken from the Cerritos mall is better. He was probably recruited from one of those places; Total price around $260 for 9 people; He was also using his cell phone while waiting for the waiter to be found. 2) The waitier was awol. If you're work there and wondering who it was- it was the white girl. She kept disapearing and we kept having to ask people to find her! For a long time after he cooked the vegetables, we were waiting for the white rice so we could start eating. My soda ran out; My water ran out. We had to keep asking people to get her back to our table. If we didn't have 9 people then I would not have left a tip; 3) I keep thinking how we should of ate at the mall and spent the other $200 on the movies; This was just bad and disrespectiful. It was just a job for them. 4) The birthday song sucked. The family couldn't notify the waiter it was my birthday because she wasnt coming around; Once we finally caught her and she came by to sing happy birthday, my wife was so upset! It was over before my wife could even click photo and start record on her Iphone; It was like they couldnt be bothered. I can not recommend this resturant because the entertainment is a dice roll; You may get someone boring. The food isnt better than mall food. The taste was the same and wasn't worty of the $25-35 per plate price tag; I didn't like much about it besides the name; I'm so sad that I will not be going to the one in my city; read more

5 stars to Brendan! Gave us a great experience and was funny! Will definitely come back again, especially with him!

I love shogun and the food they have to offer. Went for my birthday and it seemed to be everyone's birthday which made the ambiance fun and enjoyable. read more

How the pretty good have fallen! This used to be pretty good. Not excellent, Temecula-good. Not any more. Last visit was baaad. - salad dressing had bitter weird taste. I asked and she said "it's a ginger dressing." I know ginger, that ain't ginger. It was so bad I almost spit it out. Bitter, flat taste. - pan-fried gyoza were pan-steamed-barely. I get that gyoza wrappers are usually thinner than pot sticker wrappers. But these were just steamed and fell apart because (if nothing else) there was no indication that they had touched a pan. Just steamed, no crispy part. - nigiri sushi fail. The fish had decent taste and cut, but very small. And they made up for that with extra rice. Like 50% more than normal. And the rice was barely sushi rice. No taste, no stickiness. And the spider roll had so much filling I had to look and see if there was any crab in it. And the unagi was just laying on the rice, not seaweed-tied to it. Oh and no sushi order form with menu. And none on offer. She just wanted and took my order verbally. Ok, just not what I expect. I also find their wasabi paste to be weak. But there is a range on that anyways so I don't totally hate them for that. On the plus side, the service was ok. They were attentive and definitely working hard. We've been coming here for years and it's been slowly losing me. Now gone! There are other nearby sushi/Japanese restaurants that are newer and more committed to earning my business through great food. read more
