Went their for my birthday party as I do most every year, This time they are remodeling so fewer teppanyaki tables available. Noise level was super high and the heat unbearable. The food was overcooked no way to treat my steak and lobster :-( Those who had the chicken mostly left it as when overcooked chicken turns to rubber. read more

Great food, reasonable pricing and the chefs work very hard to give an entertaining meal

Reasons why I left no tip on the $252 bill. I watched a server drop a to go plate and hand it right to a customer. The restrooms were disgusting. But the thing that really got to me was our server wearing a string bracelet that while reaching over the table, was touching my wife's food. We've been here before but first time at a table and not at the grill. The food tasted different and felt like less portions. Anywho, please get sanitation standards up. I'm super annoyed I paid for food I barely even ate. I just don't like confrontation at a restaurant because my fear of retaliation. read more

Food always consistently good (other hibachi places use too much sauce and steak tastes like teriyaki steak), fried rice here is so addicting, and their seafood sauce can't be beat! The show varies, but food taste and portion always makes it worth it. The service is also great, Tori is the best! Place looks nice too with the new art. Definitely my son and I's favorite place to eat in Temecula/Murrieta read more

Great and fun experience kind staff one of our favorites. Highly recommend for younger kids but enjoyable for all

Brought our 3 grandchildren ages 6,11 and 12 to celebrate all 3 bdays that we missed. Food was ok but it was downhill from there. Table was sticky. Chef was all business, no interaction unless we spoke to him. Hostess knew we were celebrating 3 bdays. Waitress came and confirmed all 3. Next thing we knew they brought cake with ice cream and started singing. We were still eating our dinners. The chef had just left our table less than 5 minutes before. Let the kids eat their cake and ice cream before it melted. Packed up the dinners. $358 + tip and we were there less 1 1/2 hours. Won't be returning. read more

Shogun is always fun and delicious. Recently took my daughter for lunch and had the best chef. His fried rice and the filet he cooked for me was hands down the best I have had there. read more

Fun atmosphere with good food. The chefs are showman in their own right. The portions could be bigger but I was satisfied

Great Tasting, high Quality and phenomenal service. Our Experience gets better each visit.

Great place for celebrations! Food is always amazing and staff is great. Our server was very friendly and checked on us frequently. The place is newly renovated and looks amazing. I had the pickled cucumbers and Samurai shrimp. The pickled cucumber is filled with flavor. My family and I always order it. The samurai shrimp is amazing. read more

Shogun Restaurant - Flaming rice, the chef light the fire with his fingers that were on fire - Japanese Near Me - Temecula, California

Nice place. Our cook was Efrain and he was great. He added some wrinkles to the cooking performance and was very entertaining. Quiet but made no mistakes. I ordered Seafood Combo, and a couple sushi rolls (Spider, Kamikaze), and they were excellent. Place was packed on a Thursday night and very noisy. This is not the place for a date night and if you want to actually what your has to say. Otherwise, parking was great and the service was outstanding! read more

Our cook was really cool but the place looks run down and dirty now. It use to be an awesome experience but now it's just hot and dirty. The service was just ok nothing special. But the cook was a cool guy and he made our food good! read more

Probably the best service I got! Great food some of the best food! Cooks there are amazing!!! Definitely worth a try!

Love love love shogun! We have been here 3 times and have loved it every time. Gesfer and Mary are the absolute best! Great food and great environment! *covid precautions - front door says to wear a mask but it's not enforced. No social distancing at the tables (tables are full and you are sitting next to other parties). We were comfortable with it but just wanted to share this info in case someone was wondering read more

We went to Shogun restaurant on the Saturday before Christmas for lunch. It wasn't crowded and we were seated right away. Our server was friendly. Good customer service. It took a lite time to come and take an order, also till the cook come out, the wait time felt a little long, but since I was with my family and spent time chatting with them, it was fine. The cook came out and greeted us. His performance was great, but not excellent. The cook next our table was doing better performance and service to entertain customers like playing music and showing us spatula technique. Performance level makes this place competitive since Benihana opened up just around the corner. Overall, my experience was great. Food including meat quality was good. The amount of the food we got and the performance, their price was pretty reasonable one. I would like to come back and try fun dining experience again. read more

Do not even take the time to go to Benihana... the food and quality of service is exceptionally better here. Staff is so friendly. Tori and Ellisha made my experience unforgettable. Will definitely return and recommend read more

I love this place and am surprised I have not seen it earlier. Idk why the rating is so low the food was excellent and they cook it right in front of you. You will spend some dollars but now a days where don't you. My only gripe is your bathrooms!! Please remodel them they don't match the vibe or the atmosphere here. Also, make reservations they get busy. Reminds me of a benehana, but the food is delicious. I got the rib eye tappen and seafood mix gried rice and a seared salmon roll!! Both good and grilled veggies are super good. Bring cash with you because u should top the cook for the show, and well, you just should. I give it 5 stars because my experience was great. read more

Cool spot for teppan steak, lunch/dinner and entertainment. Prices are a lot cheaper than Benihana, so i thought that was cool. We were a party of 24 (boss's retirement) so we had 3 separate tables which was cool. I ordered the NY steak w teriyaki chicken. I love that they keep the fat that they cut off the other steaks and asked if someone wanted it so I raised my hand and asked for it. Yum!! The food is delicious. Very juicy and buttery steak. I'll bring the kids here next time. They'll definitely enjoy it here. read more

First off when the food. The food feels like HEAVEN omg. The service is not the best but it can do. This restaurant is maybe 5 minutes away from another hibachi place. It is called BENIHANA and i must say Shogun is 10x better. The vibe in there is amazing as the cooks are always playing fire music and doing tricks. TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!! read more

Word of advice...make a reservation lol. It's aways busy but the service doesn't waiver. Our waitress Zane was amazing. I'm always complicated and need to change this and add this and do this and she got it to correct and relayed what needed to be to the chef. I appreciate her. As well our chef Manuel was outstanding. He made sure to adhere to all my requests and did it with a smile. All and all it was a great experience. Another word of advice...bring cash to tip. I forgot this time but they did receive a tip lol read more

The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of feeling so rushed during the drink, appetizer, soup and salad. They were very wonderful as we had reservations at 4pm for 9 people. We made the reservation earlier so we wouldn't be rushed with a big party. Everything seemed like it was going great, as we ordered our drinks and appetizers. Then the waitress came back and asked if we were ready to order? We were but as soon as we ordered the appetizers came. Within a couple of minutes we had soup and salad. Really not a lot of room for all of that at once. So we hurried to finish the appetizers then tried to get to our soup and salad. I have been here before and definitely never felt so rushed, especially at an early hour. Our chef was Jorge and he was wonderful. We had two birthdays for a couple of youngsters and he really did make them happy. I will say I had the sashimi appetizer and it was very fresh. Everyone else had sushi as an appetizer and they were all very happy. Love that Jorge knew how to cook a rare filet and scallops!!! They were wonderful!!! Everyone was very happy with all of the food!!! I just wish we hadn't felt so rushed the first 30min of being there. That would have made the experience so much better. read more

Been here a few times first there were flies. Went back to try again and my whole family got sick. Yes not going back a third good luck!

We came to celebrate or grandson's 5th birthday on Wednesday night. Thankfully, we had a reservation for 6. You do have certain expectations when you come to restaurants like these that offer a little show & great food. It was a hot, sweltering evening replete with the state's flex alerts. When we were seated at our table/grill the temperature was just as uncomfortably hot indoors. Yes, I get it, the room is filled with hot grills. It was so bad that my daughter spoke to someone about turning on the AC. This indicates to me that the business is showing little concern toward their customers & employees. It's unacceptable that the paying guests' comfort is not a priority for what could be an otherwise entertaining evening & overall great experience. The AC mercifully kicked on about mid-meal. The meals are costly & at that price point our comfort should be part of the Shogun package. That was the only downside. Now for the positives: Our grill master expertly showed off his chops (pun intended) and served us a great meal of fried rice, noodles, teriyaki steak, chicken, shrimp, and mixed vegetables. He was very entertaining. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name but he did well and had a very nice personality and wowed us with his professionally coordinated utensils flipping/juggling. Hope the grandson doesn't get any ideas! LOL! Our server Zane was awesome. She remained sweet, friendly, and attentive throughout the heat. Not an easy feat while wearing a kimono with a perpetual smile. We received 10% off the bill when I checked in. Yay! Thanks Yelp! We absolutely savored the delicious food & would return again. Our grandson enjoyed it & that made it worth it! Maybe, just maybe I will add a star. Thanks to the grill master & Zane for enhancing our experience despite the oppressive heat. read more

They over book and place is loud. Food is okay don't order chicken it's always dry. They have gone up on there prices also.

Amazing food, funny chef's and they don't make you wait forever like Benihana's. It's also way cheaper. Go here for a family night or date dinner. read more

Love this place, their food is amazing and the staff are super friendly and nice. I would recommend! The only negative is if you don't have a full party for the "show" part of the restaurant, you will most likely be sitting with people you don't know. read more

decided to come here over benihana that just opened based on yelp reviews, but now i wish we would have gone to the other place. our chef looked like he didn't want to be there. didn't try to make our first time an experience. he really just cooked and didn't give a show like they usually do. he really ruined our night and whole experience. food was alright but we already had such a bad taste in our mouth from the chef just ruining the vibes. we couldn't wait to leave. resturant itself looks nice and upgraded, but now you need to upgrade your workers! read more

We made reservations a few nights ago to come and celebrate our new engagement. This place has been a go-to since 2008. We usually love it here. Tonight we had the worst dining experience I think I've had in my life. When we arrived, we were seated next to a family of 4 and two babies. The chef came out and did a small routine then got to cooking. The rice was great as always but then everything else went downhill quickly. Lobster was dry, scallops were completely over cooked, and our first filet mignon (which was supposed to be rare) was cooked completely too long. In the middle of cooking the second filet that we ordered, the people that we shared our table with said they were not happy with their yakisoba noodles. They said to the chef that they were hard and wanted them cooked longer. We saw them both take bites with their fork and then put the half eaten noodles back into a pile with the other noodles on their used plates. When they complained to the chef, he scooped the noodles off of their used plates with his metal spatula that he was using to cook, and put the noodles back onto the grill! This was less than a few inches from the filet mignon that we were waiting for. Seconds later, he then used the same spatula to pick up (our now over cooked) steak and tried to put it onto our plate. We kindly refused it explaining that we thought it was unsanitary. He asked the waitress to bring out another steak, though we said we would rather just skip on it at this point. Without cleaning the grill, he put the new steak onto the grill and used the exact same spatula again. We asked the waitress for a box so we could give it to our dog and not let more food go to waste. Our waitress, Traci, was very kind. We informed her what happened after the chef and other party left. She apologized and went to her manager right away, but then came back to let us know that her manager said that she wasn't going to come out to speak with us. The manager gave us an embarrassing 20% off of our bill, even though we did not eat anything from that $50 meal except the rice. We didn't ask for a free meal. Instead of the manager coming out to speak with us, she gave a discount in an effort to shoo us away. There were only two tables in the entire restaurant at that point, and it was after 9pm. There was no excuse for that. Our bill came out to be $125. We made sure to tip our waitress appropriately. Our night was not great. Our engagement dinner was disappointing. This place needs better sanitary standards and when a mistake is made, their managers should step up and take accountability. After this experience, and laughable discount rather than fixing the issue, we will not be coming back. What a complete disappointment. read more

Everything was great, the service is amazing and the food is too. I will be taking my family and friends here.

We went in for lunch and we had a great experience. The food portions are hefty and delicious. We were very well attended and the place was nice and clean. We will most definitely come back to visit. They sat us down quickly and were nice and friendly people. read more

10% off on Yelp Mon-Thurs as of early January 2021! We were going to the axe throwing place nearby, which allowed outside food. Like most restaurants during covid, these guys are take out only. We placed our order over the phone. It was ready when promised. Quick and easy process! We got two trays - appetizer and sushi. Perfect amount of food for 5 adults! You get a little bit of everything. The app tray isn't customizable, but you get your selection of a few sushi rolls to go with the rest of the sushi tray. Everybody had nothing but good things to say about the food! read more

Upon our arrival we were seated right away with another party of four at the grill. Waitress came took our drink orders, everything seemed to go smoothly. She brought our soups, salads and drinks. No utensils on the table, we had to wait for her to bring some over. That would be the last time we would see her. We waited over and hour at the grill, no one came to check on us, or give us a status I decided to ask up at the front what the status of our table was. It was then when someone came to let us know that a chef would be over as soon as one became available. By this time another 20 minutes went by and no chef or waitress came. We got up and left. What a way to ruin our wedding anniversary. Never again will we chose to come to this place ever again. ( this was not the first time we've had issues). read more

I absolutely love all the Shogun restaurants! The experience is so memorable. The food is exceptional. I prefer Shogun over Benihana 100%

Food is always great and the staff is always friendly. We have been going here for years.

The food was incredibly oily and gross! The steak was chewy & greasy, the veggies were so oily they looked wet. The upcharged fried rice was burnt and crispy in places. Chef blasted music from an external speaker on his cart and could barely hear anything he said. Will definitely not be back, for the price per plate, you'd expect the food to at least be palatable. read more
