Reviews With Photos - Shogun Steak House

Solid "Benihana" type experience Food was plentiful and well cooked. Table Chef was entertaining and enthusiastic. They don't take reservations for small groups so get there early. My only complaint is restaurant decor is dated and needs to be replaced

Texas roll shrimp tempura and a delicious salmon roll with lemmon. It was gone is a flsh!

alright, alright, alright, let's talk about Shogun Steak House. Small mom and pop shop. Completely friendly, courteous and warm. Today i got rocked with so many delicious flavors took me 3 hours to get up my table. I ordered my usual Tako sashimi and Green Mussels the chef took it to another level. Look at the pictures not only the presentation was A1, the chef tough me a way to place the wasabi on the soy sauce plate. You wanna be mind blown go ahead visit this restaurant and guess what they have a hibachi tables too.

Food was good a bit over priced, service was okay I was here for a birthday but staff was very unprepared and unfriendly except the chef. In conclusion this place needs improvement but for now you are better off going next door to wing daddy's

The second I sat down and tasted the delicious hibachi style seafood and eloquently cooked fried rice with legitimate white sauce to boot, I was all set to grant this place 4 stars overall. And then...something unthinkable happened...which I shall commence to cover in meticulous fashion. So as mentioned in my previous review of Clicks Billiards, this place is conveniently located in literal walking distance next to the aforementioned establishment. That's how we happened by this place. I've been searching for good hibachi places in the El Paso area for several months now and it still amazes me that this one has never come up on my radar. But no matter. The way it's tucked inside a factory outlet setting of sorts would almost have you believing it's one of those mom 'n pop hole-in-the-wall restaurants. The decorum almost says as much. That doesn't stop them from turning out a decent product, for the most part.. As with all hibachi or teppanyaki meals, we start off with our traditional soup and salad. This soup was phenomenal! Like, seriously. It packed a slight spicy kick to it, but not overwhelmingly so. I found the zucchini floating inside my soup to be rather out of place, but it didn't ruin the overall flavor of the soup for me or anything like that. And don't ask me about the salad, because I never eat those things at these types of restaurants (I covered this in a previous hibachi review). Let's talk main courses for a bit: the wife got filet, lobster, scallops and shrimp; whilst I got lobster and shrimp. First of all, my dish was excellent. I was seriously surprised here. This little place can sear shrimp and lobster perfectly with just the right amount of lemon juice, butter and soy sauce. I highly recommend trying this with a touch of white sauce. Trust me. It will change your life if you've never tried it before. The wife liked most of her meal, with the exception of the scallops (since she never eats them anyway, so I ate them for her instead) and the filet. *sigh*... This...is where Shogun missed the opportunity to earn a 4th star from yours truly and committed the ultimate [as the French would say] faux pas of all faux pas in protein prepping history. Right off the bat, the wife immediately noticed her steak tasted extremely sour. So much so that she spit out her first piece of steak. She wanted me to taste one as well. But honestly, you couldn't PAY me enough to sample something she already confirmed tasted sour beyond reason. And there was something else odd about this beef. As the chef was placing it on the grill, I noticed that it looked less reddish and more brownish than I'm used to seeing. At the time, I sort of shook it off and thought maybe the dim lighting was playing tricks on my eyes. Sadly, I should have listened to my gut instincts in this case. I know what fresh steak should look and smell like. After the wife took that first bite, we both knew without a doubt...this steak was spoiled, expired beyond recognition, and never EVER should have made it beyond the pass. Clearly, no one was doing adequate quality control on their produce here and whoever claimed they DID....needs to be fired immediately. Because they could have killed someone. It's a real shame, too. Because everything else about this place was basically awesome. And we WILL return. But when a chef or...whoever...serves up a piece of beef that's clearly expired and should have been thrown in the trash weeks ago, that's also clearly a sign that brings serious doubt this restaurant would pass a random health inspection of their kitchen, outright. I've never ran a restaurant before, but this is just a lay opinion based on common sense and watching numerous episodes of "Kitchen Nightmares". Oh, and if you're wondering how we were compensated for the foul steak, after the wife voiced her disdain for the fermented cattle, the chef quickly re-fired a NY strip for her. It smelled and tasted exactly like a steak should (I confirmed this one personally). So all in all...if it weren't for him reacting so quickly to remedy the previous situation, this rating could have been much worse. For now, I'll just chalk it up to someone in charge of the kitchen failing to do their job. It only makes me wonder who the head chef is and if he or she has any quality control standards. At any rate, said head chef should return to the culinary arts college ASAP! A word to the not-so wise: cold beef that lacks a reddish color = bad meat. End of story. Overall: until further notice or experience proves us wrong, don't order the filet from Shogun. Their seafood is spectacular though. I'd give THAT....a 9 out of 10. Also, the fact that this place offers instructions on how to use chopsticks is friggin' adorable.

Half way done serving the food and the sauces hadn't been poured yet.

Half way done serving the food and the sauces hadn't been poured. The cook never introduced himself and he had to cook 3 to go meals before he served us. Bad management creating bad employees. After that we couldn't pay with our credit card and had to drive to an ATM and come back to pay. Bathrooms smell. I wouldn't come back, unless i start seeing some changes in their reviews

Chef's special. Added salmons.
Sakino T.

Decent place to eat teppanyaki in town. I recommend you to go during lunch time. Every day they have a different lunch special for about $8. For the amount of the meal, it's very cheap compare to other teppanyaki places. The teppanyaki chef is very nice and friendly. Other than teppanyaki menu they serve sushi. It's a little expensive so if you don't know what kind you will like, I recommend you go get chef's special. It comes with 5 different sushi and 6 rolls. Good size meal and cheaper than picking ones you like. They're closed on Sunday.

Since I was visiting my family in town I decided to yelp Japanese Steakhouse and Shogun and Hayashi Hibachi came up... I had already been to Hayashi and loved it so I figured to give Shogun a try. My family and I arrived around 530pm on a Wednesday and the place was legit EMPTY... we decided to sit in the grill area and order some drinks. First and foremost, entering the restaurant gave me an eye sore. I was astonished at the gross 80s carpeting and furniture throughout the restaurant and how HIGHLY dirty it was and the poor fish tank looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a few months. It's unfortunate because the restaurant also had a slight foul smell lingering around. As I looked over the menu to order drinks we decided to order sushi... ::: Now for the HIGH prices on the menu you would think this restaurant was well maintained... but that was a FAIL on their part. We received our drinks and while ordering sushi my family decided this wasn't a place to hangout for dinner so we were nice and ordered 2 sushi plates and finish off our drinks. Since we were starving and wanted to go someplace else we changed our sushi plate QUICKLY with our waitress and the chef/ manager seemed angry and gave me an angry kinda look. I didn't need to explain myself, but I told him that we were short on time and had to leave.... he was angry and started to raise his voice not letting me speak until I finally yelled out "ALL I WANT IS THE POPULAR SUSHI PLATE!!! THATS ALL" (that's literally the name of the sushi plate) ... anyways, I could tell he was extremely heated!! Lol Our sweet waitress was super nice to us... she said our sushi came with free miso soup ... but a few minutes later after the altercation with the owner/ sushi chef she came back and told us we were being charged for our soup now since we only decided to order ONE (15.95) sushi plate. Then she was yelled at from across the dining room from the female Asian manager "NEVER MIND" to disregard us from being charged for our soup that we didn't even want in the first place. The owners were CLEARLY talking sh!t about us in Japanese, but I could care less!! THIS PLACE and its OWNERS ARE RIDICULOUSLY CRAZY!!! So now after the heated tension was finally over and we finished our drinks ... I got the check and the waitress ended up charging me for the WRONG most expensive drink on the menu then what I had originally ordered. She confessed, but failed to help to assist in correcting her mistake. I didn't want her to get in trouble with the crazy owners so I let it slide. We even made sure to leave her a tip. To be honest ... 1 bud light and 2 mix drinks w/ one sushi plate all came out to $40. INSANE right??!!! I wished them a Happy New Year and my family and I made our way out as soon as possible. My family and I will NEVER come back to this place again!! I'm hoping within time this restaurant gets remodeled and sets reasonable prices because as of right now.... this place is BUNK!!! I HIGHLY suggest just going to Hayashi Hibachi!!! That is all.

Me and my partner decided to try this spot today! Let's say, there are better options…read more For starters with atmosphere it was great! Very clean establishment and good vibes with shoji screens and lighting. Our service was very good too! We explained how we have never been here before and our waitress explained in full detail the how to and their menu. She came back at a good rate and was very nice. Me and my partner got the standard course for two. It was around $68. That's a lot in my opinion for not that much food compared to a Korean bbq. The galbi short ribs for example, they only gave us 3. They couldn't even give us 4? Two each? That in general is also crazy small. The rest of the meats were flat pieces like brisket and little steak bits. That's not a lot of food. It looks like a lot but when meat shrinks it's just tasters. I'm not impressed with the amount I'm spending with the amount of food. It's honestly not a lot when you really break it down. We did try the mochi and me and my partner agreed that was probably the best mochi ice cream we have had. Plenty of options, very delicious and tasty. If you want some sort of BBQ experience, I would not come here as my first option. You're just wasting money when you can go to an all you can eat and order practically everything. If you wanted Individual plates of soemthing, for example the galbi short ribs for a plate was around $14. Cmon now. We wouldn't come back here. It was decent, too expensive for what you're getting. There's just better options to try. Thank you.

I ordered so much I forget what I even had specifically, I just know we started with Kalbi and ended with garlic chicken and had everything from crispy rice to spicy pork in between. The service was great! And we met the owners, Dennis and Ran, and expressed our gratitude for bringing such an establishment to the borderland! Can't wait to go back

My husband is a fan of hibachi style cuisine so we looked up a spot near our home and Koze was the first to pop up! They also had good reviews so we were all for it. When we first arrived the hostess asked if we wanted to be seated at the grill (for show) or the dining room. Since my husband does like watching the cook do his thing, we opted to wait the 15-20 minutes for a grill to become available. Next time we will definitely make note to call ahead and make a reservation though! Once we were seated we looked over the menu to see our options. I will say that the service at Koze was a bit lacking. Our waitress took quite a while to come around for our drink order, main course and then at the end of the evening for us to pay our bill. I'm not sure if she was serving a lot of other tables for the night but that was just our experience. It would have been nice if she came around more so we weren't looking for her. My husbands parents got the shrimp and scallop meal to split, my husband ordered the chicken and scallops. I, however, decided to try their sushi - so I got the California roll and the BBQ salmon roll. Once the chef came around to start cooking (which took quite a while) he started the show. I will also note that there was a bit of a language barrier between us and the chef. He tried asking us questions, such as if we were celebrating a birthday, but it was very hard for us to understand what he was saying. We could also tell he was a bit new at the job because certain "tricks" he'd mess up on or had to try a couple times before he got it right. For the food, I will say that I did enjoy my sushi. Both rolls were delicious! My husband ate mostly the protein on his plate. They give a huge portion of fried rice for the main courses, it's definitely enough for two people. I believe his parents said they thought the meal was good as well. I think it came down to the service we received which kind of left a bad impression. The food was good it was just the lack of service that left me wanting more. I know there are other hibachi restaurants in El Paso. I will probably try those with my husband. I wouldn't mind coming back to Koze, I understand maybe they were just having a bad day. But I would also try other places.

Is it the best ramen I've ever had? No, but it was good and it was pleasant until it wasn't. A man came in to the restaurant and approached my husband and I. I thought he was going to try and sell us something as this has happened to me a few times here in El Paso. I'm not from here, my husband is stationed here and I haven't seen anything like this since I was a young adult living in the inner city of Los Angeles. So while I'm not alarmed by this, I am put off by it. This experience was different though, the man was panhandling. I have never ever been approached for money inside an establishment. It was very awkward as my Spanish is extremely elementary and my husband doesn't speak it. I tried to explain to the man that I didn't have cash on me and was desperately hoping the staff would kindly help the man. He lingered for a long time, almost ruining our lunch. The man waiting on us saw and did nothing. Listen, I'm not heartless but I can't help every person panhandling. The staff should take care of this situation and not pass on the responsibility to their customers. I'm sorry but this looks very poorly on the City of El Paso which I hate to say, I think it's a wonderful beautiful city. If I were not Latina or hadn't experienced similar situations like this in my youth I'd have been clutching my pearls and would have left. I know this will come off as heartless, it broke my heart. I don't know this man or his situation and I couldn't properly communicate with him, put on the spot at that. Please, staff at establishments, handle these situations in kind, dignified ways to both your customers and people fallen on hard times- it's your responsibility, not the customer's.

From the outside it looks small, but inside it's super spacious with colorful wall art (same artist as Yamaguchi Ramen). There's a mix of booths, tables, and bar seating--we chose a booth, which was great for the kids. Food was excellent: * Bao buns - smoky pork belly, soft and flavorful (I just wished for a touch more umami). * Takoyaki - perfect size and stuffed with generous pieces of octopus. * Birria ramen - spicy, rich, and absolutely addictive. My favorite dish of the night. * Sushi rolls - portions were huge, almost too big to eat in one bite, but tasty. The Don Roll was fried (my husband loved it), and the Surf & Turf had great flavor. Drinks were fun too--I had a fizzy honeydew milk tea, and my husband got a massive 32oz beer in a mason jar. The kids enjoyed their ramen with toppings on the side, and the "spice bombs" let you customize the heat level. The service was great--attentive and friendly. The owners even came by to chat, and they surprised us with shots for our anniversary since it was their big night too. Portions were generous, and we left with lots of leftovers. We also loved the bonus of live karaoke--someone sang K-pop songs and our kids loved it. For about $100 we had two appetizers, five entrees, drinks, and a great time. Totally worth it. Overall, this place has awesome food, a fun atmosphere, and late-night hours (open till 11 pm). I'd absolutely come back just for the birria ramen--it's that good.
