Anytime I'm having a girls night, Shogun is the place. Monday's & Tuesday's are poppin' in this place. They have half price suhsi, appetizers, and drinks - which is why we love it. The bartender - Chris, is on point. Typically, we sit right at the bar because it's much easier to get a sit, versus waiting for an open table or booth. Like I said, there's always a wait on Monday's & Tuesday's because of the awesome deals. Please keep in mind, prices can be pretty steep if you order non half priced sushi rolls, apps, and drinks. I really enjoy the variety of sushi rolls offered. My friend is a sushi purist. I tend to enjoy the more flavorful ones, smothered in sauces, and sometimes deep fried. read more

For Chinese/Japanese food in bowling green. I would only recommend shogun. Shogun is a Chinese/ Japanese restaurant. Half of shogun is tables where you can sit and have a meal. The other half is hibachi tables. There is a sushi bar inside as well. The food. Taste wise it was good I ordered the chicken and shrimp dinner with rice. The shrimp was cooked great. The chicken had good flavor. The rice was very fresh. The veggies were super fresh in the rice. You get a lot of food here. I had left overs for 3 meals. If you come here on a date you could easily share a dinner and still have left overs. You def don't go hungry here. Overall. If you are in bowling green and are looking for Chinese or Japanese food. I would highly recommend coming to shogun. I also recommend doing the habachi read more

We love this place! The whole team is amazing!! Great food, no major complaints. This trip we brought our grandchildren and they loved the hibachi experience. Our server was a bit lacking but everything else was right on point! We will definitely come back! read more

Friends, this is one fine Japanese steakhouse and has nearly everything to settle even the most discerning appetite. They have a sushi bar that is nearly as long as the restaurant itself. When there, we ate at the hibachi grill and were served one of the finest meals around (steak and scallops). I didn't think that the food would ever end. The chef was very professional and straight to the point (there were NO young ones at our table and I appreciated his attitude). I had a couple of rolls from the bar (Dr. Friend and another that I can't remember sadly) and they were both excellent. The decor was superb, our wait was long, but not unusually so (I think that the entire populace of Bowling Green was there that night). I left paying $40+ for just myself, but this was after 2 exotic rolls and the full hibachi experience and soft drinks. When in Bowling Green KY, this is a great place to be! read more

Shogun Bistro - Outside a wonderful place! - Japanese Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

This is our favorite place to eat. I love the rice and make a meal out of just eating that alone. We always have to take a box home. We had an amazing young server with a great personality. This time we also ordered blood Mary's and they were very good. We sat in SHOCK as we watched the bartender very comfortably out his WHOLE hand down in a jar of olives to our into drinks then LICKED his fingers . After he finished the drinks he went back to the jar stuck his hand back in the jar to fill the bowl he uses for his fruits supply and again - kicks his fingers. I have never seen that happen. Never washed his hands just wiped them on a towel and kept serving. Not impressed with that action at all. He is not a new guy he has been there for a long time so I guess we have drank his spit fingers before. Not cool read more

Hadn't been to a place like this in a long time! Enjoyed the person who did our food. Entertaining. Also the food was tasty and plentiful... so much so, had to-go that will last for a couple of days. read more

This place was the best. We showed up with a large party right at closing. They where super nice to work with food and the show was amazing. Highly recommended you going to see this. This was the best show we have every been to! read more

Great food, not so great service. Some colleagues and I were in town for a conference, two of them wanted hibachi and two of us wanted sushi so this was the place. We chose to go on a Tuesday for their half-price sushi. The waitress, however, failed to mention only some of the sushi was half price. Even after telling her we were there for half price and ordering full price she said nothing. So my colleagues that ordered hibachi and got enough food to feed a small army, spent half the amount as me and my three sushi rolls. read more

this is outrageous, u gotta pay 40$ for dinner for two and then they bring it out like this , basically three bites of chicken and a couple steak pieces and barely any noodles and the noodles got grease bits all in em its chunky looking in the noodles and all of it taste like its heen sitting out too long and the service here is very slow if u need more sauce u aint getting in till thirty minutes later. over all this is a -5 star.dissatisfied with it all. read more

Shogun Bistro - would yall eat this bs - Japanese Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Really weird how you cannot call in an order. I guess they do not need the money bad enough.

Stopped in for lunch while I was in town for a conference. I was overall satisfied but had it not been half price sushi day I would have balked at the prices. The sushi was fine, not poor quality or anything, but it didn't knock my socks off either. Service was fast and my server was very pleasant and efficient. I ordered the tuna roll, the Boston roll and the sumo roll. Again, they were good but not great. The place was pretty packed for lunch and I wouldn't go near if you have a headache-- it was loud with people and banging theatrics of a hibachi presentation. read more

Good service but none of the fish had any taste. Salmon and tuna should not taste the same.

We had a great time going as a family for Saturday Hibachi Lunch. We greatly enjoyed the show and had plenty of food to take home with us. For the quality and amount of food we received as well as quality of service, it was worth the money. read more

Shogun Bistro - A great afternoon! - Japanese Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

Was shocked at the quality of fish here. It is INCREDIBLE. Top five best sushi I've ever had in my 25 years of life. The fish literally taste like it was caught and cut 20 minutes before it was served. I adore this place! We had the habachi on a separate occasion which I was also beyond please with!! read more

Shogun Bistro - Bowling Green roll and the Green roll. Bomb - Japanese Near Me - Bowling Green, Kentucky

This is the perfect place to have a birthday party! I got to experience the fun of a hibachi chef at our very own table and he was so entertaining and wonderful! The restaurant was clean and they were able to seat our group of 12 within a few minutes even though it was a busy weekend! I highly recommend this grill as they have a great selection of foods if hibachi isn't your cup of tea! read more

We brought a very large party of people (56) in peak dinner hours and were greeted first by the hosts who were nothing but kind and accommodating, we followed with a fantastic dinner and patient waiters. Service was fast and high quality. I can't recommend this place enough for their dedication to quality and service! read more

Did not like anything they offered. So i did without dinner.will NEVER go back.To me the rice tasted awful.Was a waste of money and time.But you have to try everything to see if you like it. That was something that I did not like, and by the time i tried it, was cold noodles,,and who likes cold noodles Def not I. To beat it my husband ordered sushi and they served it to my Grandson, so needless to say he never got it. read more

We had a party of 8. It was ok. It could have been better. I ordered a ahi tuna salad and it was missing the tomatoes and avocado. Brought it to our servers attention and it took her awhile to get the tomatoes and when I mentioned that it was missing avocado she grabbed a dirty bowl on our table, dumped the napkin and ramekin and then headed with the dirty bowl to the chef to get my missing avocados. Not very hygienic for a restaurant. I had to tell her to get a clean bowl. That's not really reassuring for customers. Maybe they need to have a servers meeting on dos and don'ts. I guess tonight we didn't luck out on a good server. I now know who not to ask for. Other than that the food was good. read more

my family was traveling, and we were desperately searching for a restaurant to eat at, and so many nearby restaurants were closed or had a long wait. we pulled up at Shogun, and i didn't have my hopes high, but wow, i was impressed. i got the asian bbq chicken tenders with some miso soup! the meal was incredible, and if i lived nearby, i would definitely eat there often. unfortunately i live in nashville, and i was only passing through. but if i'm ever nearby, i WILL be back! i highly recommend. read more

I've been reluctant to write this review however, this needs to be documented here and on all social media sites. My cousin and I went to Shogun on Monday 9/21 for 1/2 price sushi. Our order was delivered to the party sitting next to us who after having a couple of bites claimed it wasn't their order. The bartender realized his mistake and placed the same plates in front of us. Appalling and off the chart of cleanliness we left the sushi and only had the soup we previously ordered. I return the next day to speak with a manager, never seeing one on Monday evening. Telling him the situation, he graciously apologized and refunded our dinner to a gift certificate. Afterwards, a small Asian guy wearing a pink shirt approaches me and angrily ask what I'm doing back in the restaurant. I ask, who are you and he says I threw you out yesterday afternoon and told you to never come back. Shocking as it may be I told him I had never been in this location until last night with my cousin. He refused to believe me and told me to get (with mother waiting in the car) or he would call the police. Though the Shogun on scottsville road was fantastic, this place is arrogant, understaffed and overpriced! Completely sucks! Will NEVER return! read more

Such a mistake!!! It looks so clean and new but the food is just terrible. I don't even know where to start..... We had to ask three times to get chopsticks. First red flag. It should be the opposite... they should punish you for needing a fork. We watched the chef at the next table being a dick to some kid... the kid was being a brat, but you can usually tell a the low-end hibachi restaurant when the chefs are extremely rude to the guests. Our chef comes out, grabs an egg. Drops it on the table. Oops. Grabs another egg, tries to catch it in his hat. Throws it on the ground instead. Grabs an egg from another chef's cart, cracks it directly on the grill (getting shell everywhere), and tries to toss the yolk in the air. Obviously, the yolk breaks everywhere. Abort! Abort! At a table of four, he probably used six sticks of butter. So much rice, with no veggies or anything in it... just rice. And butter. He takes out the veggies: zucchini, onion, carrot, and potato. Yes, potato. Grilled and soaked in soy sauce. Why??? My shrimp were amazingly undercooked and flavorless. And now that I have all this food on my plate, I still don't have dipping sauces. M caught his attention and alerted him, and he poured one for us to share. M asked for his own and the chef ignored him. At this point, I'm done. I just want to eat and leave. He starts grilling noodles. Why? My entire plate is already covered in three inches of rice, grilled potato, and now you want to give me teriyaki-drenched noodles? They were practically candy. I had to push them off my plate and even then the teriyaki sauce had made everything else on my plate taste like a candy store. Then the shrimp toss. This is the point where I just want everyone to leave me alone so I can eat things covered in soy sauce and butter. And they want to throw food at me. Chef starts with the guys at the other end of the table. One giant piece lands in the guy's mouth, launches back out on to the grill. Chef picks it right up with the spatula and throws it back. That was just on the *inside* of someone's mouth! Chef continues to use the same spatula and tries to throw food at us. Are you kidding? Disgusting. If Bowling Green has a health department, they should get their tails down here. read more

The only reason you should eat here is if you want to watch a grill go up in flames & a man spin an egg on a spatula. The new location for Shogun is HUGE. It's a nice building with a ton of hibachi tables. The staff is very friendly. The food is somewhat overpriced, for hibachi chicken it is $15. The hibachi items come with vegetables, rice, noodles, salad, miso soup & the protein you order. The only reason to come to Shogun is for the show. Sitting at the hibachi grill has always been a pain for me, because I don't really care to see them cook the food, and it's hard to talk to the people you're with because you're sitting in a row. The hibachi chicken was just okay, when he threw the chicken on the grill I could see there was a lot of fat on it and I could taste the squishy fat when eating it. The vegetables were on the grill for about two minutes and did not have enough time to cook, they were very crisp and the potatoes tasted raw. I know that it's a gimmick at the hibachi grills for the chef to throw food and have people catch it in their mouth, but I feel like they almost guilt you into doing it. I don't want to catch the food. I know it's your job, but no means no. If you want to see a "show" & pay 15 bucks for fatty chicken & raw vegetables, this is the place for you! read more

This place is funny and awesome!!! First off, I love the fact of having potatoes flung at me. That's so great!! The staff work in tandem so you never run out of your non-alcoholic drink, and the selections of food are great. It's an awesome cheap lunch for a business lunch out with the co-workers, or an awesome date night experience if you are double dating, or want to be bold and sit with random strangers!!! The chefs also make sure that if someone has a type of seafood allergy, that they cook their food separate from the rest of the party. I thought this personal touch was amazing!!!!! I really applaud the attention to detail the staff takes to each customer!! read more

I was recommended Shogun by the hotel staff. Overall a thumbs down. The Green tea is from a lipton teabag. Sushi is thin. You can see the rice thru it. Service staff is nice but not experienced in sushi. Order was incorrect and missing items had to be made. Fish tastes old and dried out. No sushi dinner all ala cart. Would not recommend to a friend. read more

This place is so great! I almost missed it because the hours listed on this page were wrong! The restaurant is open during dinner time and the food is amazing. They included potatoes in the grilled veggies and topped it off with lo mein noodles. You will not leave hungry. read more

10 Stars!! Cory the new manager at Shogun has elevated this place to another level!! Great service that went above and beyond! We had a great atmosphere just sitting side at the bar. Cory made this experience so memorable!! We will be coming back for more and with more friends! We are so happy to have you here Cory!! read more

Love the food of this place but issues have been recurring. Ordered to go a couple weeks ago. Upon pickup I realized two items were not available. Instead of crediting my card I was told they would redeem the items on my next visit. Visited in the restaurant and was told there was no record of this conversation. Then we order lunch and see that we were charged dinner prices. Apparently now lunch prices aren't available on the weekends, however, the server never mentioned this to us and the menu doesn't reflect this change. We won't be back. read more

Sake could stand to be a little bit hotter but other than that, I was happy with my dinner decision. I had a 6-piece sashimi plate complete with two pieces each of salmon, tuna and hamachi, coupled with a spicy tuna roll. I haven't had a spicy tuna roll like this in a long time. I can tell I will be frequenting shogun bistro during my stay in bowling green, Kentucky. read more

I went here for my fiancé's birthday and we loved it. Even after the show on the grill they came out to celebrate his birthday with us. The staff is friendly and funny. There isn't a high enough rating for this place. read more

This place is consistently good. It is a little pricey for every day dining if you are on a budget but you will find that nothing in Bowling Green comes close in comparison. We eat here for Birthdays and other special occasions. They have the best Ginger dressing and Yum Yum sauce in the area. Come here hungry because the portions are very generous. read more

I thought my friends and I were going to experience a lovely dinner from Shogun Bistro but instead it was the exact opposite. I ordered the Filet and chicken and found a hair in my food. Our server was sweet enough to try and get our food discounted and the manager said he wouldn't because our food was being remade. Normally the manager comes and apologizes for the inconvenience but no one came to us. I am very dissatisfied with our food, and may never come back because of this issue. read more

Sushi is always on point! Clean and classy looking restaurant. Order on early weekdays to get food made faster. I love getting sushi here. It's located in a good area around many other restaurants and stores at limestone commercial drive in Pflugerville. read more

its just amazing. i loooooooooooooooooooooove it its soooooooooooooooooooooo good i cant believe this place has a 3.5 star rating it should be a 5 star l. read more

Just had take out from here yesterday. Our first real Raman and it was great. The only thing that stopped it from getting 5 stars is the scallop was a tad undercooked. The Yakitori was also very nice. Etown needed a restaurant above fast food but below 5 stars. This hits the spot and we will be back for more and different food. Only thing I would change is their online menu does not have all the pages of food they offer. read more

I love this place. The servers are always so sweet and the food is AMAZING. Definitely recommend if you like Japanese food.

Restaurants excessive wait is completely unacceptable. Over half the tables are open and they are still quoting 30 min wait times? No thanks. read more

The best hibachi and yum yum sauce I've ever had! The sushi was a little bland so if we came back, I'd stick to the hibachi. The dressing in the salad was good and the soup was my good too! Highly recommended!! read more

I called to place a order and at first the lady said we don't do to go orders anymore. So I decided to call back and another person answered the phone and said it was slow and we closed the kitchen early. They close at 9:30 and I called at 9:15. I understand closing early because it is slow, but to simply say we were slow and closed early and hang up the phone is rude. No, I'm sorry but the restaurant was slow tonight and we decided to close early. Just click and I heard a dial tone. read more
