Yakitori house has really stepped up their game since the last time we were there a few years ago…read more I can't comment on service or ambiance because it was take out. But the food wonderful as "take out!" In the past 10 years, their Takoyaki was the only thing that kept the Yakitori House on our "list". Last Friday, because we wanted takoyaki, we decided to order for takeout a whole meal with appetizers (we like to have an assortment of things to taste). It was payday Friday, I couldn't get anyone on the phone to take my "pick up" order, so I went in person only 30 minutes after they had opened and found they were swamped! I waited in my car for 45 minutes for my order (ugh). Got, home and opened all the to-go boxes, and dug in. Oh my God! The food was amazing. You know the food is good when you both are smiling and making yummy noises, talking about the food nonstop and sharing it with each other. WELL DONE, Yakitori House for changing the business model and focusing on the food! We enjoyed it so much we ordered out again (this evening before Thanksgiving, just 5 days after we ordered out the last time). It just really good food that makes you happy! The food was wonderful again! But I have one note...I ordered the vegetable stir fry. What I got was steamed vegetables that had no flavor other than the flavor from the bare steamed vegetables, no nothing extra. That was disappointing, but I poured some of the Age Dashi sauce (I had leftover from my appetizer) over the steamed vegetables (that were supposed to be stir fried) and it was delicious! That Age Dashi sauce is delicious! New to us was Karaage, Japanese fried chicken with what looks like Yumyum sauce to dip it in...delicious. I tried the Bulgogi plate...tender strips of steak cooked in a savory and sweet sauce with rice, salad, soup, a dab of kimchi, and a few grapes. A delicious and delightful special entree! My husband loves the way they do Omurice now. He couldn't believe that every bite had a piece of chicken. I saw peas and shiitake. I wish Yakitori House would do the menu like they do in Japan. Their menus had pictures of every dish. I haven't been in Japan since 1997 but I never knew the names of the dishes I was eating. So now I have to google the items on the menu to see if I'd like it, ugh! Over all, Yakitori House is doing an amazing job creating wonderful flavorful food which is pleasing to the pallet and the eye even when it's in take out (I was impressed with that Bulgogi take-out plate)! I wish we had taken pics, but both times we were more interested in diving in.

Had supper here again. Group of 4 tonight. We were sit immediately and service was great as always…read more We all had water to drink. They do have a decent selection of Japanese beers as well as plum wines. After a long cold day we all just wanted food. Huge serving met the need. Two shrimp fried rice, 1 Tempura and another dish I do not remember. Table split two rolls and tuna dish as appetizers. Solid food and great service. Small place with great traffic flow.

First time ever being here. This place was unknown to me and had no knowledge of it whatsoever…read more However the first impression wasn't great, the place on the outside was a little run down and outdated and when we went inside, it smelled like a propane leak. Hopefully they can fix that sometime soon! The inside decor seemed a little lacking, it should definitely get some more oriental decorating! Overall the decor on the inside and the exterior definitely needs to be invested in. To the good part, we were introduced to our servers and they were very helpful and enthusiastic, however I wish the waitress knew a bit more about the food on the menu. I then received my Spicy Tuna Roll which was very tasty and fresh! The salad and soup was light and refreshing and the salad was just so fresh. We were then introduced to our speciality Chef Alexander, who by far is the best hibachi chef I have ever seen in my entire life. His personality, skills and knowledge of what he does just shows his passion for cooking and how much he loves his job. If it wasn't for him, I would not be giving this review 4 stars. The food he Cooked was different than any other hibachi restaurant you go to. Everything was balanced and hit the spot, the BBQ Steak was absolutely marvelous, and the chicken was balanced between the lemon and the salt. The seafood is just out of this world. Alexander needs a pay raise ASAP!!! I would definitely recommend this place, please check out the videos and pictures for a more detailed presentation.

My favorite sushi spot in all of Eastern NC. My first go-to for the last 10 years, hands down…read more Sushi is ALWAYS fresh! I can't even count how many times I've been here and I've never been disappointed. Really everything just tastes perfection every single time. Service is great as well. They do have hibachi room with a great show, but I've always just ordered from the sushi side because it's that good. North Carolina roll is my favorite. Haven't been able to find anything quite like it anywhere in the country thru my travels. Highly recommend this spot :)

The last time I wrote a review for Wasabi was 4 years ago. We have lived in New Jersey and New York…read moresince then, before moving back to the Jacksonville area and I think of the service here often. Wasabi truly still has my entire heart and I rarely go anywhere else for sushi (Hubby and I only do the sashimi and nigiri). We order takeout more than we dine in but the cuts of fish are still fresh like I first remember, the service is still really great and it seriously feels like I never left. I love having a place like this to return to.

I've come back a handful of times since my initial review and I'm honestly so happy to have found…read morethis spot! Their waitress/waiters have been very nice and quick whenever I've come. You can choose to order from the regular "A La Carte" menu which is priced per item, or you can choose to do all you can eat (white menu) for $24.99 per person. Note: you cannot share if certain people in your party choose different menus, and there is a .50-$1.00 charge per left over item you cannot finish. I highly recommend eating the all you can eat menu as just ordering two sushi rolls will be the equivalent. Their ronin roll and steak Yaki Udon is the BEST. They actually use thick marbled pieces of steak, not the thin flimsy cuts. Overall, I'm super happy and this is totally worth the money.

It's a rather large restaurant in a large strip mall. There's plenty of parking and different dining experiences. There's a sushi bar, a bar, hibachi, and the standard sushi dining area. Shogun is similar to a lot of restaurants in Jacksonville. Sometimes there's an "off" day. Every restaurant has those days. Shogun is no different. We've had great to below average times here. Today we enjoyed our meal. Today wasn't too busy so we were seated promptly. Our server provided our menus and took our drink order (water). We order the sushi for two. Comes with a variety of sushi, miso soup, and a side salad. The soup and salad was delivered after a short wait. As we finished our soup and salad our sushi plate with two small plates was delivered. The server poured our soy sauce. The food presented well. The quality and quantity were perfect for us. Our server was good and attentive filling our waters and removing used dishes as we dined. Our experience here today was very good. We enjoyed our meal and experience. If you've been on the fence about trying this restaurant, I recommend giving it a try. Even if you don't like sushi, they have plenty of other options.

This is the only Soba I've tried that is good & flavorful in town. The ribs the used for my soba was tender and wasn't dry at all. Overall, a good experience and I'd come back to try more!

What a great place we have been saying we should try, now its or new favorite Asian restaurant…read more We ordered some sushi, which was attractive and tasty as an appetizer. My wife had a Pad Thai dish and I tried a hibachi grill dinner that included steak and chicken which you choose, other options included strip, salmon, or scallops. I was surprised when the waitress asked how I liked my steak, most Asian restaurants don't care you get what you get. the Steak was cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfect too. There were a mix of well prepared grilled vegetables and fried rice to complete my dinner. The portions were large and filling. We liked that the menu had items from many Asian countries and regions including; Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others. We will definitely be back to try the Bento boxes and Noodle dishes. My wife also tried a Japanese soda which she liked too.
