Their hibachi is some of the best in R.I. but the service is what this place is about. No matter which chef you get they have their own fantastic personalities and sometimes play off of each other or off of guests from neighboring tables. It's dark, which I'm used to in a hibachi atmosphere but it never ceases to give me a headache when I strain to look at the drink menu. I ordered the chicken and shrimp and my partner got the filet and shrimp. We also shared a plate of garlic noodles and it was salty but the perfect accompaniment to the sweet sake martini I was drinking. Our hostess was super pleasant and couldn't have been more on point with the refreshment refills but also extremely welcoming. Oh and happy birthday to me, their fried ice cream was bomb! read more

Shogun - Sushi Bars Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

I hadn't been to Shogun in almost a decade and it was just as good as I remembered. For starters, Sue is just the best! She does a great job managing - the bar & restaurant run flawlessly, the whole staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely delicious. I came here the other night with my husband, my Dad, and some friends. Everyone loved the food and the experience (we had a couple first-time hibachi people). We ordered everything from filet mignon and lobster to scallops, shrimp, & chicken. All of it was tender, juicy perfection. The garlic noodles and fried rice are must-order items as well. The ginger sauce is so good I pretty much pour it over everything, and I still hope that one day they will tell me what is in it. You can't go wrong at Shogun. Whether you're having a traditional hibachi dinner or sushi at the bar, you won't be disappointed. read more

I can't understand how people can say anything negative about this place. I've been here way over 10 times and I've never had a bad meal! This trip Hubby and I both got filet and chicken and my son got steak and chicken. We split an order of fried rice (yes it costs extra on the weekend which it clearly states on the menu) and an order of garlic noodles. Everything was fantastic!! read more

Shogun is middle of the line for me. The food is okay, the show was okay. I don't like having to pay extra for fried rice on the weekend. I feel like they are overpriced for hibachi food. They do give you A LOT of food, but I don't think it's very flavorful. read more

Bunch of us went out after work and we had a blast! The food was excellent and a great value for the money. The cocktails were well mixed and very well priced. And our chef was a hoot. Would definitely recommend for parties or just a quick get together and we'll be back! read more

Haven't been here in over 15 years and now I know why. The food is substantially less than par, almost inedible. Portions were huge, but not helpful when it doesn't taste good. We ended up throwing almost 2 full boxes out when we got home. SUPER EXPENSIVE. And on Fri and Sat nights they only offer white rice and not fried rice with Hibachi. They make you pay extra if you want fried rice. Thumbs down in my book. read more

Vibes was great, music was old school rnb so I loved it. It was not busy at all tonight. Just enough people. My friend and I was venting about work on a phone call and then sporadically decided "hey, lets go get a drink and some chinese food" lol. We get dressed and she scoops me up and we decide go get Hibachi. Living in RI almost all my life Ive never been here. The staff was super friendly. We sat at the bar because our main thing was lets get liquored up, it was one of those days or week lets say lol. The drink menu was pretty decent with a lot of fancy names along with the usual beers and wines. She got the Pink Lady and I got the Asian Melon which was a sake cocktail. For $8-$9 you cant go wrong. For apps I always have to try dumplings/gyozas. You have to order the chicken gyoza. One of the best Ive tried so far. For dinner I just ordered the steak and shrimp. Its a typical hibachi dish. It was diff as the fried rice came as one vs separate for the both of us but we didnt complain. Overall I would come again and actually sit at the hibachi grill in the future to see how that experience is. Thanks for reading! read more

Recently renovated. Full size beautiful bar. Problem is, there is NO place to DINE. The only option is hibachi or bar. The tables in the bar are high top, which is to say if you are under 5'8" you feel like you need a booster. Very loud, not good for any conversation that doesn't involve yelling from 2 feet away. The food is exactly the same, good but not outstanding... Update, 8/27/2017. Went back to Shogun. Seems like going during the week or Sunday is better for dining. Crab Rangoon was delicious, as was the Black Dragon roll. However, Spicy Scallops were NOT COOKED. also, they were fried on the outside, which our waitress explained as a "chefs choice". Sorry chef, pan searing is way better, and the way they always did it before. Also they had to have been cooked for like 1 minute...hence the Rare temp. They are on the cooked menu, cook them! Hopefully I don't get ridiculously sick. I ate two pieces, but way too squishy. Our waitress said "It's ok they are fresh!"...but I wanted cooked spicy scallops. Furthermore, there was no sauce on them. Chef's Choice? read more

The best food item I had here was the steak. Everything else was too salty, even the sauce for the hibachi. Portions were large but not really tasty. The service was fine. Besides the food not being very good, what will keep me from ever returning is the way they handled Covid. It was a packed house tonight. Every single table was full (at least 8 people each). Had I known that when I made my reservation, I would've never gone. The tables were not even 2 ft away from each other. Here we are freaking out about Thanksgiving this year while this place just had a giant Thanksgiving gathering x 10! We were breathing on each other. No windows were opened. The dining room was small and cramped. I felt so uncomfortable. I just wanted my family to finish their dinner and leave without catching Covid. Fingers crossed! read more

I've been here many times now, mostly for special occasions as several of my kids are big fans. Love the food and the chefs are always personable and put on a good show. The cons are it's very noisy, conversation is difficult so not a place to go for date night and frankly the ventilation could be better. You'll come out of the place smelling of hibachi. Overall though a fun experience and great food. Thumbs up! read more

I don't recommend this business because they offer call ahead seating but when I called they basically told me That they can't do much other than take my name and if I get there with no other parties waiting to be seated then I would be seated. I ask so then I should just walk in since calling ahead didn't put you over or a walk in. She said "yes". So then do not advertise you have a call ahead service when it won't get you anywhere. There's no difference if you called ahead and if you walked in. read more

Had a group of nine. Got sat close to the door and we were all freezing. The Happy Day roll wAs really gOod but the hibachi was sub par and it took us about two hours to get our food. However our chef was very friendly and talkative. read more

I wasn't too comfortable with their food handling practices. We had to wait for about an hour and a half to even get the hibachi started and the food was average. Not the worst but I probably would never go again. read more

Very disappointed with service and food this year. After saying we had a reservation due to an exception of the size of the party on arrival we were promptly told that we had to wait. After 45 minutes we were sat and waited another 15 minutes for drink order. This was followed up by a free appetizer in which there was no choice of it. For several people at the table they were allergic to it. The show that has been generally good previously was very lacking. Food itself was average and lacking options. Price on the other hand has increased. There is a good chance I will not go back read more

Absolutely amazing. incredible dinner. All the elements of the dinner were really tasty . large amounts , so you can share between 2-3 people. Drinks are good .overall pricey but very worth it . it's a great alternative for a family dinner. read more

We've been twice within a month and both times it was excellent! FYI, they do not take reservations, but they allow you to put your name in ahead of time so you may have to wait. This was clearly explained to me when I called. We waited no more than 15 minutes. Our server was great both times and our chef was so much fun. Food was abundant and delicious. read more

Reservations were at 7 and we were seated at 8:59! No place is worth the wait, especially when the food was just average! The swordfish was very dry and I was told that the kitchen did not cut the swordfish think enough. In that case, the chef should have requested a different piece instead of overcooking a thin piece of fish. Although our family has celebrated special occasions here, I will never return. read more

Most of these reviews are just ridiculous on here. This is the original habachi In the area and nothing else is even close. Been going here for 30+ years since it was solis on post road and block island. There is no habachi better anywhere in this country period. The reviews that complain about the price fail to mention that you get over 2 plates worth of food. This place is 5 stars no questions asked. read more

Came here for hibachi on a Thursday evening. I just moved fairly close to the restaurant so I figured I'd give it a try. It was honestly the worst hibachi I have ever had. And I know what you're thinking "How could hibachi really be bad?" But, to my dismay, it was in fact bad. They ran out of lobster, the hostesses were rude and the food wasn't good. Everything in general was just way too salty, the salad dressing had an after taste, the soup was too salty to eat, the yum yum sauce was pure mayonnaise, the vegetables were pretty much raw, and the shrimp and scallops were over cooked. It was just overall not good and it was the same price as an actually delicious, nice hibachi restaurant. Will not be coming back. I gave it two stars because the hibachi chef was funny and entertaining and my tropical drink was actually delicious. But still not coming back. read more

Their specialty rolls are nothing special. I just bought $51 of sushi. Three bites in, and I'm finding something else for dinner. Go to Sakura instead. read more

Ok......Been using yelp for years.....here is my first review....Had reservations for 12 or 14 people....staff very friendly and good at getting us settled in 2 hibachi tables. First thing that caught my attention is on weekends they only serve white rice with the hibachi menu. Ok 25$ for the scallop hibachi and then paid extra to upgrade to fried rice. In the end our party of 14 added 5 fried rice and 3 garlic noodles at a cost of...umm not sure. now the food.....2 weird little plastic sauce cups placed in front of each person tasted each...not a fan....set them aside. then came out the white rice for everyone 14 bowls....wait a minute you guys just talked us into a 5 fried rice upgrade lol.....The scallops were cooked good. They were nice and big and tasted pretty fresh. The fried rice and garlic noodles were just "ok" they seemed prepared in a rush and then thrown at you. They were just heated up and stirred around with the added prepared sauce. the show was just ok......no sake squirted into the mouth.....no tossing food up to catch.....that was kind of a bummer cause it always fun exchange. my only gauge to compare this experience to is KON in East Greenwich which I have been to twice and have enjoyed and for the $600 pricetag at showgun (not many dinks wine and beer one round for maybe 7 of us) I would say go there or elsewhere. One thing that really annoyed me was the plastic to go trays being tossed around as half the party was still trying to eat. and the cold air falls down from the exhaust hood from outside....it was cold and drafty till the fired up the exhaust hood.....maybe i'm getting picky now but that was my experience. read more

Amazing! The food here is simply amazing. I've been to a few other hibachi places in RI and Shogun is my favorite. I always order the Filet Mignon and chicken. The steak is so soft and juicy. I have a seafood allergy but they accommodate me and prepare the shrimp at the end of the meal so that it doesn't touch my food. The portions are huge! Enough for a whole other meal afterwards. The chefs are all friendly and put on a great show. Come during the week (Monday-Thursday) and the fried rice is included with your meal. Try the fried ice cream at the end if you have room for it. Although with the size of the portions I doubt that. (Tell them it's your birthday or a special occasion and you'll likely get the ice cream for free lol) read more

Shogun - Fried ice-cream! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Great food great atmosphere lots of fun go with a group its a blast food is awesome cant say a bad thing been there more than 10 times

Over the past few months, I've become a regular here because I recently moved to the area. The service and attitudes of the staff are amazing. After just visiting here once, our waitress could recognize us when we returned and continued to talk to us. The sushi and hibachi are obviously delicious, any review you read from here can tell you that. But if you're looking for a great family oriented restaurant, you've found it. read more

Shogun never disappoints. We went here the other day for my friends birthday and sat at the hibachi grill. The waitress was super attentive and got us our drinks very fast. The cook was entertaining and cooked our food to perfection! Overall great service and good food! read more

Loved it as always. I am never disappointed by this place. We went for my aunt and uncles dual birthday party dinner. There were four of us and we decided against the hibachi and stuck with the dining room. It was quiet and had a tv. We ordered tasty drinks made with all kinds of different rum and sake combos. The list for apps was long so we tried and couple like steamed veggie dumplings and tempura, the soup was also good. I guess we went a little crazy with the rolls but we just couldn't decide! The Dragon roll was my fav. it was spicy and crunchy but the avocado and cucumber cooled your mouth. Perfect and pretty looking too. Must have been like six rolls out there. They gave a two fried ice creams and played the drums. Too bad you cant upload videos to yelp... This place is good for an occasion, but calm enough for dinner after work. read more

Shogun - Newport roll. Narragansett roll, dragon roll and more! Beautiful dinner and fried ice cream and a drummer for dessert. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Very cool place to go to watch people play with your food. It's a little pricey, but what Hibachi place isn't? If you're comparing this place to the other Hibachi places around I can tell you that everyone tells me Shogun is the best. Which is why I came here. So yeah, get some Saki, pull up to the table, which you'll share will a bunch of other people, and watch your food get cooked in front of you. Our guy wasn't particularly coordinated. He kept dropping stuff while he was showing off, but overall the throwing of the food and the fire was all very entertaining. My only complaint, if I'm being honest, is that the food wasn't that good and it was about $30 per person. I mean you definitely get a whole lot of food, but besides the entertainment, I'd prefer to actually eat somewhere else. But hey, if you're going on a date and you're worried you might bore the crap out of him/her, this is a sure-fire way to keep them entertained. read more

This is the last time I eat at this place. The host and the waitress had a horrible attitude and the chef needs practice. The chef made a mess while serving the plates. I hope the 20% gratuity will be used to improve the service. read more

Pros: Great service. Friendly staff. Cool decor. Food was perfectly cooked. Salad and soup were very good. Cons: Both of our cocktails were very weak. I got 2 martinis and didn't feel the slightest hint of a buzz. My wife didn't bother with a second drink, knowing the second was going to be as weak as the first. Price/ value. Yikes. This place is not cheap and the Mrs and I were ok with that, but the hibachi chef arrives to the table and the first thing he passes out..THE FIRST THING...is 2 plastic dressing cups for the sauces. Seriously? This is the first impression you're giving to guests? C'mon guys. What's next, plastic utencils? read more

Ordered takeout from here last night. Very underwhelmed. We got filet and shrimp hibachi, which is a shocking $35 per plate, and it just tasted like regular old steak, and slightly over-cooked. Also, two of the three plates had only two tiny pieces of shrimp. The fourth person in our party ordered just filet and his plate was $26 - so I essentially paid $9 more for two pieces of small crappy shrimp. Plus, the tail was on the shrimp which it normally never is if you dine in. Also, the yum yum sauce tastes more like mustard, and the garlic noodles were bland. Not impressed, and we spent $177 for four people!! Crazy. read more

Was looking forward to a nice night with my family and was disappointed. First no fried rice served on Friday and Saturday. Up charge if you want the fried rice. Something waiter didn't disclose until I saw table next to us get fried rice and asked how they got fried rice. "Oh it's extra" waiter said. Why wasn't that disclosed initially? read more

We've been wanting to go for a while. My wife and I took out two kids age 9 and 6. We got there pretty close to opening and glad we did because the place was pretty full within a half hour. There are mostly hibachi tables with a small bar area so be prepared to eat in the. At are if you aren't a hibachi person. The chef and waitress were excellent and entertaining for the kids. Food was cooked perfectly and we took tons home with us. I ordered a Firecracker role that was way bigger than I thought and barely left me room for then main coarse. We will definitely be back! read more

The best hibachi restaurant around! Though it tends to get very busy, I promise the wait is worth it. Reservations are accepted so you can avoid the wait by calling ahead. All of the food is great quality as well as being very fresh and the portions are huge. The chefs put on an excellent show while cooking your dinner and the wait staff is super attentive and very friendly. The restaurant was recently remodeled and now has a huge bar. Whether your waiting for a table or just want to eat at the bar, it's very comfortable and the service is always fantastic. Shogun is a Rhode Island staple and I am not sure if I know anyone who hasn't been here and had a good time. read more

I went on a date night with my Fiancé this past weekend here. I wanted to try a new hibachi place. The place was busy but we were still able to be seated. We started off with the traditional clear soup. Normally this is my favorite but here it just was not good. It tasted fishy to me and not in a good way. Then the salads came and I don't eat salad but my fiancé said it was good. For dinner I ordered Filet and Shrimp. The Filet was cooked PERFECTLY and melted in your mouth and was delicious. Shrimp were also cooked great. Our chef was fun and awesome and I loved that he asked if we wanted things before he cooked them for us. For example: when cooking the mushrooms he asked if we wanted them rather than just putting them on my plate as my fiancé hates them. The fried rice was also great and the portion sizes were large which we liked! We will be back. read more

Here in Rhode Island visiting my son who's at Johnson & Wales. We're used to great food in NJ, so our expectations were high. Shogun did not disappoint. The only detractor was the wait was a bit longer than they said it would be, but it was worth it. The food was plentiful and delicious. We were surprised that the hibachi noodles and rice were extra, but one order of rice fed 4 people and 3 orders of noodles was more than enough for 6 of us. The waitstaff was friendly and was nice enough to explain that we didn't each need our own order. We would never have known. We have enough leftovers for another whole meal. I would have liked if they had hibachi salmon or snapper but the swordfish was delicious. Dinner ended with complimentary fried ice cream. Just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite we somehow managed! read more

So far this has been my least favorite hibachi restaurant I've been to. I was incredibly disappointed to find out I would have to pay about $7 extra for fried rice because it was the weekend. The fried rice is the best part of the meal!! My hibachi chicken was already almost $20, why would I spend even more to get something that should be included! If I wasn't out with friends I probably would have walked out and found another place to eat. The chef who cooked our food was okay, no enthusiasm or funny jokes like they usually do. It was so loud in the restaurant, it was hard to hear anything he said. The chicken had too much soy sauce on it for my liking. He also gave me way too many bean sprouts, literally covered my entire plate. I was so disappointed. My friends and husbands sushi didn't arrive to our table until the hibachi was over and we were nearly finished eating. Also about 10 minutes into our meal, we were already given take away containers. Clearly being rushed out. The only thing I can really compliment them on are their bathrooms. Very clean and smelled so good! Wouldn't return ! read more

Our steak was not cooked at all. It was raw meat. They give you a lot of food, but it's not quality, just quantity.

Food was good but not amazing came here with just my boyfriend and got hibachi the bill was 70 Dollars way overpriced, especially with our waitress having a bad attitude, took 20 minutes to come take the check from us... all she said was "sorry guys" she would come to the table put the food down and walk away , no "enjoy" or anything. Even when I said thank you we didn't even get a your welcome..will not coming be back read more

Used to be amazing. Went for New Year. Love waiting over 45min from projected time and picking up half my dinner from the table as it's served. I get it's busy but for goodness sakes get your shit together. Half the size of normal entree's from them but 25% increase on the price? read more
