    Boss Roll
    Danielle V.

    This spot is the best. Friendly service plus the chef js always game to prep you a complementary salmon skin salad dish. It's delicious. We had the red dragon and boss rolls plus the combo B tempura app. All were good but the red dragon was great. The perfect blend of heat with the tempura shrimp in the roll. Yum! The boss has a kick from the spicy layers so be ready. Great place with a nice atmosphere.

    Delicious avocado salad. Almost if not a whole avocado. Fresh!

    The best miso soup EVER! We had didn't plan on doing his spot, relying on Yelp reviews that sung its praises. The staff is friendly and prompt and answered all our questions about prep of certain dishes. The interior has booths as well as tables. Everything was clean. The chef offered us a complimentary appetizer of lightly fried asparagus on lettuce drizzled with a plum sauce. Delicious. The ramen bowls were huge and the broth rich and deep. I finished my bowl after later in the evening. Still delicious. I would return to this unexpected gem for several dinners a week.

    Ajimi combo #8
    Heidi P.

    Wonderful place! Clean and servers were extra helpful and friendly. Had a ton of choices and their combo selection was the best I've ever seen! I had the combo #8 and it was a full sushi roll, a small portion of chicken yakisoba, rice, salad and four tempura shrimp. Just the right amount of food and I couldn't have been happier. Husband had the #2 and it had a full sushi roll, teriyaki beef, rice, and four gyoza. All of it was delicious! Highly recommend!

    Service is friendly and casual. The food is made to order. I would put the flavor up against any Asian restaurant in the Pacific Northwest. It's your basic booth style seating with the Asian decor that honestly is simple and beautiful. The miso soup is brought out with your drinks. It is uncomplicated. My appetizer was creamy jalapeño which I thought was going to be a cream cheese with a small amount of spicy tuna filled jalapeño but instead was mostly spicy tuna with just enough cream cheese to make it stick together stuffed into a nori wrap jalapeño and sliced bias. The Ramen was amazing. It's a favorite place to visit in Fairbanks

    Bento

    Service - the best - love the warm towel and free soup and appetizers. The towel smells fresh and gives a calming feeling. They welcome the customers and the two lady servers have great smiles and very attentive. The men behind the sushi bar are excellent in their job and also sensitive to the needs of the customers. They remind the servers if the food is ready - great team work! Ambiance - minimalist but good enough Food - great portion and tastes great too. We ordered bento, combo #5, and yakisoba - all are tasty. Sushi/sashimi are fresh-' This is my first time and will definitely will come again next time I visit Fairbanks. Most of the other customers are regulars and know the workers... Lots of parking too.

    My second time here and the sushi cooks at the bar are amazing. Atmosphere is always nice. Customer service is top notch. Sushi we had were both fantastic. I will be back again before go back home for sure.

    Chicken katsu combo (#6)
    Debbi C.

    We're visiting from out of town and went with some regulars. Had 6 in our party, seated quickly and great service the entire evening. Mafia roll was very good, spicy tuna roll was delicious, and the scallops were perfectly sweet. The sake was scalding hot and took a while to cook to a drinkable temperature, and seemed to lose a bit of flavor in the process. The salmon carpaccio was a great flavor combination but challenging to eat... about 1/4 of the crunchy onions and it would be even better! Generous portions make it a good value. Would come again!

    First let me say the owner of this restaurant is a very nice lady. I wish I could recall the name of my dish but what I can say is the food and wine was great. Great ambiance very relaxing and clean. Food is fresh and they have tofu for us vegans which was a plus. Highly recommend this spot for a nice dinner with friends. Laid back not fancy but nice and relaxing with great wine and food

    One of the better dining options in Fairbanks! Not spectacular or impressive but not disappointing either. Looks like the inside used to be a fast food restaurant. It has old school booths so don't expect a fancy sushi restaurant dining experience. I really liked the katsu and sushi. I did not like their yakisoba-tasted like soy sauce only, no veggies.

    Miso Soup and Hot Towels
    Mande B.

    Restaurant roulette once again gave us an amazing food adventure. In all honesty, we are total newbies at the type of food served here. After lots of Google help researching to understand items, we decided on 2 lunch boxes so that we could try the egg roll from one and the gyoza from the other. We also substituted beef teriyaki for the listed chicken teriyaki. The food was delivered at appropriate temperatures and was really good. Props to the lady who was serving, bussing, and handling the register on her own. She was so very nice and handled all our questions with a smile. The restaurant was clean, inviting, and casual.

    Dinner Combo "C" Chicken Teriyaki & Tempura
    Zach R.

    Very good and fresh food. Great service. Only complaint is the lack of portion size. I've been to a many Japanese restaurant, and when I saw how little of the Chicken Teriyaki was given I almost thought it was a kids plate. But I would come back if I'm ever in Fairbanks again.

    Walking in to a smaller Japanese restaurant, the bar is crowded with food orders and the…read morepreparation area is messy and disheveled. The seating area is cozy and close-quarters, but you're greeted at your table with attentive service and complimentary miso soup. The miso is decent, red or mixed miso with some tofu, but lacks that miso flavor you crave on a cold day. I ordered the paradise roll, substitute tuna for spicy tuna. The food arrived and presentation was nice. Seemed to have a heavy layer of teriyaki and spicy mayo drizzle with spattering of roe (fish eggs) over the crabmeat smothering the roll. The sushi has a nice deep fried crusting, and sushi rice is fully cooked. Better proportion of sashimi to sushi content, as opposed to kanpai sushi. The portion is large enough to fill most, and the average sushi date should choose this paradise roll if they were to share and have something else. However, if you are to substitute options within your order, the price for your sushi may not accurately reflect from the menu priced items. While the service is busy and attentive, I was never provided a refill of my water, ginger, or wasabi to accompany my food. I believe the largest specialty roll on the menu is aggressively priced, nicely prepared, and the sushi is moderately decent with a communal environment. Overall: 4/5, price for quantity 2/5, food quality 3/5, ambiance 4/5, and service 3/5.

    We had the bento boxes #C and #D. Both were delicious and plentiful. The service was fast and…read morefriendly. The ambiance had Japanese decorations everywhere. I highly recommend you try this place.

    I've been eye balling this place since I moved to Fairbanks. It's a cute spot especially for lunch…read morewhether that be a date or hanging with some co workers. The space has a lowkey atmosphere. I've visited twice now and I can say it depends on the chef and what you ordered. When first dining at Shogun I ordered a Hibachi Red Snapper. I believe the red snapper was $26. Which isn't crazy especially for red snapper in Alaska. It was good a solid 7/10. Well cooked fish, the veggies were just a lil too tough. We also ordered a Hibachi Pork. And let just say it was on the blander and tougher side. We wouldn't personally risk ordering again. My Husband rated it a 4 out of 10. My family and I recently went again for the second time during lunch and the food was so good. Everything was well sauced and seasoned. The veggies were cooked to our liking. There were no complaints. I order the Hibachi Salmon. It was delicious. I had so much on my plate I was able to bring it home and it was still tasty. I would definitely order again. The salmon during the lunch hours (11am -3pm) was $17. I would rate it a 8.5 out of 10. My husband got the Hibachi Steak which he would rate a 7 out of 10. The meat was cooked medium upon request, and he also enjoy the way it was seasoned and sauced. Would definitely recommend if you looking for new eats in Fairbanks or coming from out of town.

    If you have ever been to Benihana's you will love this place it's basically the same thing…read more I would say go for the lunch prices it's soooooo worth it $19.95!! We went yesterday for my birthday and it was pretty good. Our chef was awesome. Every one always has a good show. He did the flare and the fire onion and just had fun with us. We ordered the combo I got steak and shrimp and my buddy got salmon and shrimp. The o Ly thing that I thought kinda sucked was that if you got the combo you could literally get any item EXCEPT the scallop which I didn't think made sense since on the menu it's all the Same price but oh well. Which is one of the main reasons I didn't give 5 stars. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food. I wasn't too big of a fan of the salmon in my opinion it just didn't taste that fresh but my buddy liked it. You get good sized portions and great tasting food. We will definitely go back.
