Living on the east coast exploring the sushi was probably the best, fresh fish more competition cheaper the rolls. Traveling back to Texas was a struggle to find great sushi. Let me tell you the father you are away from the ocean the crappier the fish. Salmon should be pinkish red not orange (learned that from my Japanese friends) and let me tell you! It's fatty melt in your mouth fishy goodness. Out of West Texas. The drive to Abilene TX is worth your money and time to hit up Tokyo Fusion the most amazing fresh fish you will find. Not to mention their staff is excellent. This sushi place in Angelo (Shogun) has the highest reviews but I'm sure it's problem not the sushi bar that's a big hit, they rob you of your money by giving you thinest see threw sashimi. Not to mention it takes them an hour just to de-thaw the fish and forget to read your whole order, the staff needs to learn good hygiene. I'm giving them 2 Stars For 1. Great presentation on the Eel roll and the taste 2. They where attentive of your glass. Please do not go there for the sushi. It's socks and it's poorly made. read more

Sushi was very good for the area, but the sushi chef was amazing! Such a friendly and very dedicated guy! This place is clean, hibachi looks nice, and we will definitely be back for more sushi! read more

Do yourself a favor and skip this chain restaurant and go for a real experience over at Itchiban's on College Hills. You won't regret the decision!! read more

Ummmm....I may be crazy...but this is one of the best places I have ever eaten sushi. And it's in west Texas, wtf. Sushi chefs are super nice. Super Dragon Roll is the best I've had as far as eel rolls go. The salmon hibachi is orgasmic. Yeah, I said it. It just dissolved in my mouth. I've had several different rolls here - all delicious and fresh. If you like sushi, go here. Better than Nakamura hands down. read more

Love the hibachi grill. Special for 2 is perfect for a regular full grown man.

The musty smell that hits you when you walk in is reason enough alone to leave but being desperate to find some great food in this town we stuck it out. I found a spiderweb on my chair. I was also really put off by our waitress Miriam. She was incredibly unfriendly and wouldn't even make eye contact with us. She made it clear she didn't care about the experience we were having so I didn't even bother to tell her she messed up our orders. The miso soup tastes like the juice in ramen noodles, ginger dressing is terrible, and the tepan was so over salted and my shrimp was over cooked to the point were it tasted pre-chewed. You get the point. 10/10 never coming back. However, props to the host up front, he was very friendly and actually checked on us more than our waitress did. read more

I've only had the sushi here, so I can't comment on the grill section of the menu. The sushi was reasonably good, though I found the nori wrappers a bit tougher than I'm accustomed to. The portions are quite large though, making Shogun a reasonable value. The atmosphere and service here wasn't quite what I would expect for a restaurant where you can easily drop $30 per person. read more

There are some good teppan-yaki restaurants in this town like Ichi-ban but there was no good sushi restaurant IMHO so far. well... not anymore!! To me, Shogun sushi is acceptable level. If you go to San Antonio or other big cities, you can have better sushi but at least this place is the best sushi restaurant in San Angelo. Though this restaurant isn't run by Japanese, their sushi rice is the original flavor what I mentioned on the other page so if you like original Japanese sushi, this place is for you. I tried some sushi rolls and they tasted good as well. Now, I can go eating sushi on regular basis so I'm happy :) The price isn't so expensive if you go during lunch time. read more

We eat here at lunch a LOT always sit at the sushi bar- my husband orders sushi and it looks lovely. I always get the lunch portion chicken with steamed rice. It comes w soup or salad. It's my favorite, lots of food, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. read more

ehh...some chefs are good - some slackass. this place is a REAL hit or miss kinda joint. If that asian woman is managing, go somewhere else. She doesnt know how to run a restaurant. The others are fairly good. Thai chef is the best by a mile - ask for him! read more

Personally I don't think I will return to Shogun for their lack of vegetarian options and oil/salt laden food. This restaurant does excel in customer service though! Our server was very attentive and made our visit plesant. read more

Disgusting!!!!! My bf and I walk in and mold, dirty restaurant, cleaning supplies was the first Thing I smelled. The place was really dark. We decided to give it a shot since we wanted sushi and a seaweed salad. We sat at the table but it was sticky so we sat by the bar. The waiter sucked because I asked her for a shrimp avocado and cucumber roll and she kept telling me its the shrimp tempura.($7.95) I don't pay that much for a simple roll. So whatever my bf and I just order 2 seaweed salads and a water. While we wait i notice the light fixture was full of DUST! The sushi bar was DIRTY AND FULL OF DUST!!!!!! We canceled our order and jetted out. Please clean your restaurant, train employees and have them look neat at least.. Fix your menu, travel to see what's out there that you can add To your menu. For example the sushi chef has never heard of a seaweed salad roll. Its very popular in NYC where I live. *You can thank me now* read more

Well if you like BUTTER this is the place for you. While the service and drinks were good the food was so so. We had hibachi and no sushi. It was just ridiculous how much butter was used and we never felt so horrible after a meal. read more

They give you a lot of food the sushi rolls were unique and amazing one thing I didn't like is everything has Saracha on it which is minor I just know for next time to have hem hold that lol but it was delicious. read more

I go here for the sushi. The food is always really great, but the service could really use some work. I usually sit at the sushi bar and am always forgotten about. I almost always have to flag someone down for my check. read more

Moved here from DFW a few months ago. Was looking for a hibachi steak house. Decided to try Shogun...it's better than the ones we tried up in the metroplex. This place is AWESOME! I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium rare and it was pure perfection. Shogun does not disappoint!! read more

I have been to the Shogun several times. My husband, (a man who does not like asian food at all) LOVES eating here. I have never had a bad experience with service or food. Well worth EVERY DIME I pay. WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL! read more

I have been to Shogun twice and love it. The filet mignon was delicious and I love getting the soup and salad. My kids of course love the show! I removed a star because the woman who sat us was rude and when the cook came out saying something about an extra 8.00 charge one someones meal they snapped at each other and it was an awkward exchange...."Hi customer here..right in front of you!" the coke also tasted really off the second time I visited. Other than that I would suggest Shogun for sure! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and lots of fun. Don't come here of you don't have money though. I ordered some sushi,a drink, and a meal and it ran me about 50 dollars. read more

By far the best sushi in town! Great lunch specials! $11 for two rolls. I've been here twice and have not been disappointed. Had a great server who was very attentive. If your looking for sushi, this is the spot to go. Other sushi restaurants in this town have been disappointing numerous of times. So far I'm a fan of their sexy roll, San Angelo roll, midway roll, and golden California roll. read more

See all

My mom and I love shogun. We will sit at the grill and all of the chefs are so nice. The food is delicious and they have great portions. I can get the chicken dinner 2 chicken breasts about a cup of rice and a cup of vegetables just for $13.45. If you love Japanese food then you need to come try shogun. read more

Over price big time All the original chef gone rude management and service. The lady manager is something. All the best experience chef are at bon sai now and it cheaper there. read more

I went here this evening with my boyfriend. The restaurant only had two other groups. We were sat by the hostess almost immediately, but no one came to even take our drink order. We waited for almost 20 minutes before we finally just left. Do yourself a favor and skip this chain restaurant. I recommend: Bonsai Garden, Itchiban's, or any of the local restaurants. We went to Bonsai Garden tonight. I was able to order and receive food in less time than we waited at Shoguns. read more

We sat at the sushi bar instead of the grills. The sushi was creative and delicious. The hibachi was also really good. They accommodated my request for no onions and the vegetables were better than I'm used to elsewhere. I rarely finish the salad or the soup, it's not really my thing. The portions were big enough that we had leftovers of both sushi and hibachi and they were great later. Service was good enough, could have been just a bit more attentive. The manager was aware of what was going on, stopped by, joked with us and immediately got me the sauces I was missing for my hibachi. All-in-all, great meal, fun environment and we didn't have to wait on a Saturday night. I'll definitely go back. read more

This place was not worth what I paid. We stopped by today at the insistence of my husband who was in the mood for sushi. We know that nothing in San Angelo is going to be what we're used to back in our home state. We walked in and saw that we were the only ones besides a group of men who were sitting at a grill with no one cooking food--something I found odd. We sat at the bar and ordered two teriyaki chicken rolls (one regular one and one with a few tweaks). My husband got a cup of green tea. I should mention that our waitress wasn't the friendliest person in the world. My husband described her later as seeming hungover and I'd say that's fitting to how she was acting. Anyways, we got our food after about 10-15 minutes. We'd been given miso soup, but neither of us is a huge fan of miso soup anywhere so we barely touched it. I will say that our rolls were good. Then, the waitress dropped the bill off to my husband with a "Here ya go, sir." when in fact I was the one paying. Oh well.. then, my eye caught the bill. It was $22.50 for our two tiny rolls and one cup of tea! With tip, and I only left $3, it was over $25. I wish I hadn't tipped at all. The service was pretty lousy. We won't be back, but now we know where not to go. read more

Maybe I set the bar too high for San Angelo. I just moved here from San Francisco and was craving some Asian food so I searched Yelp and decided to give Shogun a try. I was really hungry (all I had were a few honey tangerines the whole day) and couldn't decide whether I wanted to do the grill or sushi so I opted for the grill since my stomach was thinking it would be more food and I could always order sushi on the side. I should have asked if they charge for HOT TEA before ordering it instead of assuming that it was complimentary like most Asian restaurants (it end up being $2.50 for a green tea bag in a mug). I ordered a TIGER ROLL ($10.95) and the CHICKEN & SHRIMP ($20.95). The sushi was good, but the items on the grill were only mediocre. The grill menu items included complimentary MISO SOUP (tasted like instant miso soup), SALAD (which was just lettuce with dressing) and RICE (can choose between fried or steamed but the default must be fried because the waiter didn't ask me what I wanted and everybody at the table ended up with fried rice). The chef definitely lacked experience. He was okay at spinning the utensils but when he tried to spin an egg on the grill, it cracked. While he was making fried rice, he had rice flying off the grill onto the table, making it look like we, customers, made the mess. He also had some trouble picking up the onion rings when making the volcano. He started off making the fried rice, then grilling the meat and finally stir frying the vegetables. I thought it was a little backward since nobody at the table ate the rice until they were served meat which means the rice got cold by the time they got to it. The fried rice had too much soy sauce. The chicken was overdone. I don't know what I was thinking when I was ordering, but chicken (usually means white meat) which translates into dry when cooked. The shrimp wasn't cleaned well and still had its gut attached. The veggies included onions, mushrooms, carrots and cucumber. Dousing the food with sauce would have probably improved the taste. I might go back for sushi but definitely not for the grill. For $40+ I was definitely not impressed. read more

One of our favorite places to go for lunch. They are expensive to go for dinner but at lunch they offer a special for 2 people and you get shrimp chicken and beef at the grill. Always good food. The chefs are friendly and entertaining. There is almost always more food than you can eat. Great place! read more

The place is decent. Generous portions and good service. I was a bit disappointed by their sushi selection. I dont think I've ever seen so many cooked rolls on a menu. I would have to estimate 2/3 of the rolls are cooked. Overall not bad, just nothing special. read more

Had dinner with wife, daughter in law, and grandkids. The wife and I had teriyaki chicken, steak, and shrimp for two, sushi for dtr in law, and chicken & rice for grandkids. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. We did not sit in the grill section as it scares the grandkids. Very enjoyable experience. read more

Really good place. Sushi and grill are to notch. One of San Angelo's best places to eat.

If you like to wait for hours for your sushi this is the place to go! This is our second time coming here and I'm already regretting it more that the previous visit! They have one lethargic sushi chef working on a Friday night! A FRIDAY NIGHT!!! At the end of the day though the sushi is great they need to give that guy a raise! Wait staff needs a upgrade though read more

This joint is suffering. If you're new to sushi then don't let this be your first place. They pack the rolls with cheap imitation crab and cream cheese so they can skimp out on the fish. It's seriously a joke. We ordered three completely different rolls and they were all just subtle variations of each other. Crammed full of heavy cheese product. I was embarrassed for them. The Miso soup was so salty that it was unbearable. So if you're going to have sushi, have it at Nakamura just down the road. Last time for this overpriced ripoff place. 2 people at the bar on a Friday night should tell you something. The two people were us!! read more

We did the hibachi and sushi. Really happy with everything we got- the chef seasoned the food perfectly and the rainbow roll was awesome. Just like we were used to in California- will definitely come back! read more

The staff was nice, but the food was NOT good. The shrimp was rubbery, steak was tough, salad was watery and not good. My overall experience with "hibachi" style food in the past has been good, but this place really wasn't good. The chef was obviously not well trained in the culinary realm, if at all, and was pretty unprofessional (was talking to us ab drinking). Bottom line: Would not recommend. It was not worth the money or time. read more

Awful. Ordered basic California rolls. They came out after my moms fully cooked food. They were sloppy looking at best. I took one bite and gagged. Spit out the piece, called our waitress over to tell her how awful it was. She came over and said everything is free. Made me very nervous. Not only was my sushi free but my mothers and husbands too. Makes me wonder what they did or thought they did. Won't be back ! read more

Run don't walk- Or you might die! The kitchen cooked my "Steak and Chicken" but it came out "Steak and Shrimp". When I explained I had an allergy to shrimp they took it back to the kitchen. When my plate returned it was on the same plate with chicken added. When I tried to explain to the manager he simply told me to pull the shrimp out. What a moron! read more

Love the food! The Yum Yum sauce is the best. However the staff is not so great, there is probably one waitress we really enjoy and is attentive but for the most part they are not good waiters. Can't comment on the Sushi but we always sit at the grill and really enjoy most of the Chefs. The food is really very good if they could replace the bad staff it would be better. One of the draw backs is they will try to squeeze you in at random tables instead of seating you where there is plenty of room. The soup and salad are great! We always get the Teriyaki chicken and love it!! read more

The service was really slow considering that we were their 2nd customers in the place. It took them almost 10 minutes to bring my ice water. We had the meal for $42 dollars, it came with shrimp, chicken, & steak. I didn't eat the shrimp bc it tasted like it had too much merkery in it. The fried sushi was great. If I come back it will be only for the sushi as carry out only. read more

Best hibachi in San Angelo! The baked Louisiana roll, fried rice, and scallops are perfect every time. They also have yum yum sauce which is a must for my family. I would definitely recommend Shogun over the other two hibachi restaurants in San Angelo. Edit - for the most part everything is still excellent except the last two times we had dinner there they burned our scallops... It won't deter us from returning but I won't be ordering the scallops again. If not for that they would get 5 stars from me. read more

I would be okay not ever dining there again, but hey I go back out of boredom. The hot entree's (not grill) are pretty nasty, but the Sushi makes up for it 100 times over. I will say though for the same price and quality, I can go to HEB and have a roll made up. The miso soup is pretty good as well as the beef tataki which has never disappointed.. Service is okay, not great, you won't really see or talk to the server, but they keep up with your order pretty well. I do think it is slightly, okay completely, overpriced and for two people to have one appetizer, tea, 2 rolls of sushi a piece and MAYBE an extra thing of sauce, can easily be $70 and up. read more
