    Steak and Chicken hibatchi  *HC Steak and Shrimp
    Sherry P.

    The food was great. Yum yum sauce was great. I've only had one better and it's hard to beat. The service was great. The 18% gratuity (parties of 6 or more) is slightly aggravating, especially since they ask for "extra tip" when paying. But not too big of a deal. The night we went was so hot that my friend wanted to get naked. The waitress said she informed someone about it and it may have changed slightly. We did not sit at the table with them cooking in front of us. We really would've been hot then! We will be back for sure.

    Decided to stop in and try Shogun in Bowling Green for takeout. Once inside we decided to stay for dinner.

    We were seated promptly as the place was starting to fill up with customers. The booth seats were not clean so we moved to a table instead. The table was really wobbly and had to move to another table. The floor was a little sticky in the bar area. Once situated, our server was very friendly and helpful. We noticed that the people at the table next to us left plenty of food on their plate when they left and did not take any with them. I wondered why. My wife ordered the Hibachi Shrimp dinner with rice and noodles. She said the rice was undercooked and a little crunchy. The soup and salad that accompanied her meal was phenomenal. She really liked the soup. I gave her mine to bring home. I ordered the ribeye steak, medium with a baked potato. The baked potato was hot and delicious but the ribeye was thin and a bit tough. Not tender and juicy at all. We were disappointed overall with our food quality but the service was excellent. Now we know why the people that were sitting next to us did not take any food home with them. I really wanted this to be an awesome experience but it was underwhelming at best.

    It has to be bagged ramen.

    This used to be about a 4 star, but over the years this place has severely deteriorated in quality. Just got done ordering a Miso Ramen + chicken. $14, but it used to be $10 recently and the chicken is an added item now. Also, the ramen tasted like bagged maruchan. Very poor-quality ramen, soggy, and tasted like bag ramen after it sat around for a while. Their staple has stay consistent through the years at least. The hibachi chicken and steak hit par, but nothing memorable. The hibachi noodles are nice, and so is the rice. Also, I'm giving it two stars cause of how problematic it is to order through their website. The entire menu isn't there, you can't order just a chicken hibachi or just a steak option. Prices aren't updated. The UI is bugged and I have to reload the entire page and navigate through it. Then when I tried to call them, they never picked up and voicemail wasn't set up. Had to walk in and place my order and wait. I shouldn't have to go through a third-party app like DoorDash or ubereats to get a meal. There should always be an option to order through the phone or online. For what they charge for food, is based on the live entertainment aspect. It isn't worth the price they are charging for it. Would consider only sticking to the staple of the restaurant. Hibachi. Everything else is done poorly, but the alcoholic drinks do good drowing the taste of everything else.

    Best food and always my favorite bento box. Good for 2 people. Great ambience, casual dress is ok. No wait on mid week days.

    Disappointing takeout experience. We ordered two appetizers and a hibachi meal and got home to find one app missing. Bag was stapled closed which deterred us from checking the contents when we picked it up, but that was our mistake. We had a toddler to feed so we didn't have time to return to the restaurant to remedy the situation. The salad also contained 1/3 lettuce that was rusty.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Bowling Green (which says a lot if you have any idea how many restaurants there are). Any time I'm in town, I have to eat at the hibachi grill. I always get the shrimp and chicken hibachi dinner. Even without ordering appetizers (which I highly recommend ordering -big fan of the dumplings), I always have enough leftovers for 1-2 additional meals! The portions are CRAZY! The photo I'm attaching below is what was left on my plate AFTER I WAS DONE EATING. Really cannot stress enough how much food they give you. The food is also fantastic, better than your typical hibachi restaurant and unique (I.e. the vegetables have more variety). They also allow special requests like "broccoli only" with the vegetables, which is nice. Definitely eat here if you have a chance!

We haven't been there in maybe two months and this time when we walked in it looked all refreshed like someone had come in and redid their tables and they had new menus and it looked really nice. However, what was lacking was the quality of the service and the food. I remember feeling like I was at someone's house because it was very comfortable and family feeling especially by the wait staff this time we walked in and instead of saying pick where you want to sit like they used to some girl sat us over on a side of the room. OK no problem then they handed us these new menus and there was no soup. Usually they give you free soup then some other lady came over with the soup and put it on the table then they took our order and the waitress seemed like we were bothering her. They brought out the food. The quality of the food went down big time. My husband always orders the chicken yakisoba so does my daughter, my daughter also ordered a sushi roll. I ordered hibachi steak and instead of rice I wanted noodles. My husband and daughter said that their food didn't taste like it used to and my hibachi steak (now mind you I had a hibachi steak at a different Japanese restaurant in Georgia so I'm thinking it's going to taste the same.) She even asked me how I wanted my steak cooked and I said, medium rare. I got little squares of very overcooked pieces of meat that looked like they went to the store and bought some stew beef (at the other Japanese restaurant that we went to it was actually filet mignon.) The steak was hard and rubbery at the other restaurant. It was beautifully cooked. Also, my noodles tasted like they were drenched in teriyaki sauce, which I can't stand. Everything was too sweet and I will probably not ever go back there now.

We ordered a sushi roll as an appetizer -- simple enough. But it never came. Halfway through our meal, we realized our server had disappeared, and we finally had to flag down a different waitress. Only then did we learn the order had never even been placed. Even after that, it took more than 20 minutes and still no sushi roll. By the time it finally showed up, we were so fed up we just had it boxed to take home. And here's the kicker: it wasn't even a busy night. Well over half the tables were vacant. There was absolutely no excuse for such inattentive, careless service. A restaurant's reputation rests as much on service as on food. Ichiban may still be known as a Bowling Green favorite, but if they keep operating this way, that reputation won't last. Right now, they're failing their customers in a big way.

We ordered everything to go, and the food was packed perfectly, which really mattered since we were traveling. We spent a few days in Bowling Green and wish we had found this place sooner. The pho was the standout. The meatballs were hands down the best I've ever had, and I've been to many pho restaurants. The broth was rich, portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. My kids ordered Chinese and Japanese dishes, while my wife and I went with Korean options, and every meal was excellent. Big portions, amazing flavors, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy. It's easy to see why this spot is a local favorite. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in town.
