    Lovely sushi restaurant! The food was delicious! The fish was fresh and tasted great! The interior is cheerful and playful complete with a bubble wall and self playing piano for ambiance. Great service!

    Boss Roll
    Danielle V.

    We grabbed a few rolls to snack on during our ride back to Wasilla. Ordered online with ease. Received a text when it was ready. Pickup was quick and easy. Very bright interior with friendly staff. The boss roll was great. The spicy tuna was delicious. The double tempora roll was loaded with shrimp YUM. The red dragon was also very good.

    Dining with live performance
    Arlene S.

    It was a little surprise gem in Fairbanks. I wasn't expecting much when entering the restaurant. The restaurant was spacious and didn't expect a live piano performance while dining in a sushi restaurant. It has an extensive menu that took us a while to figure out what we want. There are nigiri, sashimi, sushi rolls, and entree combinations. I got the kanpai roll and combination H nigiri set with dragon roll. The kanpai roll was delicious with a combination of salmon, tuna, and avocado then shrimp tempura, salad, and more avocado on the side. The set came with dragon roll that has eel and cucumber with 8 pieces of nigiri. The ingredients taste fresh and great value for the amount you get. We love everything we ordered and would recommend anyone who likes sushi to come here.

    Chicken ramen

    The food was really good, it didn't take long for the food to come out & everything was exactly how we ordered it. The ramen wasn't that spicy but still good, overall great food. We also had some sushi and they were also really good. The portion sizes were pretty decent so worth the price. I would definitely come again if I get the chance

    California Roll (added cream cheese)

    Nice and clean, no wait at late lunchtime. The California roll was fantastic, real crab, decent sized roll. Service was quick and polite. I would definitely recommend.

    Menu as of 7/28/22

    We wanted to try Japanese food in Fairbanks so we found this place on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. The interior is very nice with a piano on a stage in the center. There's a sushi bar on the side with plenty of tables on the other side. The menu has all the usual offerings that I can find in S. Cali. Food is good, although the chicken teriyaki tasted more stir fried than grilled and the tempura was more battered and hard than I'm used to. Otherwise the flavors are good and the California rolls were decent. My husband said this was his favorite restaurant on our AK trip, so that's saying something!

    Crunch shrimp roll

    Came into to town to visit babe and wanted to check out this place. The presentation is everything and the place is absolutely beautiful!!!! Our waitress was super sweet and nice, i can't remember her name but she was just the cutest. We ordered the cold sake in 3 different flavors. The peach one was the best!!! Definitely a new spot to hit up.

    Creamy jalapeño

    Everything tasted so good. All was presented really nicely. Loved the kiss of fire roll. Came in a tin boat on flames. Lol. No complaints here. Would recommend to everyone. Just bring some extra $$$$ cause the prices dont play. Lol

    Love lemon salmon roll
    Marina W.

    Great service, a little spendy but worth the price. Love the environment. Not my first time but definitely not my last, thank you Kanpai!

    Salmon roll

    Salmon was absolutely delish. We came early in the day so the place was pretty much empty; food came out quickly. Kind of expensive but I assume that's the norm for up here (cost of living etc). I would recommend for some good raw salmon- not sure how it compares to other places around here. But pretty solid

    Got Uber Eats from this place two nights in a row. Got the ja jang myun and the soybean stew. Both…read moretimes it tasted great and was nice and hot when it arrived. Only thing was that the first night the soybean stew had small whole fish in it which added umami flavor wonderfully! And the second night, the soybean stew had beef in it, rather than fish. They were both delicious but I thought it was interesting that the ingredients were not consistent.

    Very disappointing dining experience…read more The food was average at best and definitely overpriced. We ordered the ginseng chicken soup, but it had no ginseng in it and no ginseng flavor at all. The restaurant also smelled strongly of cooking oil as soon as we walked in, and our table was uneven. The service was unacceptable. We politely asked the staff to place the dishes in the center of the table so everyone could share, but they ignored our request and scattered the dishes around the table instead. They even placed extremely hot dishes right next to guests, making them awkward and unsafe to handle. The female server had a very unfriendly attitude and acted as if she didn't want to serve us. When we asked for a serving spoon to share the food, they refused to provide one, which was surprising for a restaurant serving shared dishes. Average food, poor service, and high prices. There are many better options. We definitely won't be coming back.

    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.
