It is salient that all those who are considering becoming future patrons avoid this nasty resturant at all cost. Save your money and enjoy a good asian recipe from allrecipes.com. You'll cook food better than the slimey booger salad sauce they try to call dressing. You might have better luck at lucky china just up the road. The steak was brown before it was cooked and the scallops were tougher than wheel rubber. The clear soup wasnt water but has a phlem like substance in it. Save your money and time by going else where. We should have listened to the partron who warned yelp viewers about the salad. It was so gross we left, and now as i write this as we are in the drive through at chic fil a read more

I don't recommend that you come to this establishment. The wait time including getting the food prepared was well over 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I am not sure if the older gentleman is the owner or just a manager but he is attempting to pack the customers in at each table like sardines. Before you come to this establishment ensure that you find out how many cooks they have available and at that point make your determination if this is the establishment that you would like to dine at. And for the food I cannot speak on it right now because we are still waiting. I would not give this establishment any stars. read more

Concur with another review. Food: Great Chef: very good Service: Horrible. The guys are nice but seem to lack training or attention. Trash on the floor around our seats, drinks empty for almost the whole meal. Going to check out some other places before going back. read more

This is not a good establishment for Japanese cuisine. Low quality. Tables were sticky. Green tea served in styrofoam cups. When the Hibachi came out, a roach ran off the tray. read more

I don't know why it says closed on Sundays we went tonight. Food was amazing so was our hibachi chef. The geisha girl cocktail was amazing. Would definitely consider going back. read more

I love Shogun, I have been eating there for years, I love the steaks, the rice, the salad and soup, and the sauces...everyone is always so nice, as well as the owner, Mr. Gene... read more

We just moved to the area and this was the first sit down restaurant we tried. We were met at the front door by the manager/owner. He sat us and was on top of our drink and orders the whole time. Very professional and very nice. The portions sizes are huge.. like seriously huge. If your doing habatchi you will not need sushi. My wife couldn't even finish 1/3 of her plate. The steak and Shimp were perfectly cooked. And again I want to thank Tracie for the service you were awesome. read more

Shoguns was a great place to eat, we enjoyed ourselves, we had drinks we and had sushi and more and the customer service was very friendly! The chef came out to make sure the food was great!! Johnathan was the chef and our waiter was Cassidy!! Great people! We were actually going to go to the other sushi place because I felt that every chef makes sushi different, but I'm glad we decided to go to this place.... The shoguns EVER!! read more

Food...great Chef...great Haven't been in over a year due to poor service and nothing has changed. Will not be back. Another customer came out to ask me if it was just him or was the service terrible. He won't be back either. What a shame read more

Sodium... Just okay, my least favorite in Columbus thus far. Locals took me there once I'd relocated here. I've tried two locations, and neither were impressive. There are better Japanese restaurants in Columbus, but this just isn't one of them. Speed, service, and flavor all leave something to be desired. There are less expensive Japanese places (I can think of two) with much better food. read more

Ordered the steak and spicy chicken. The steak was cooked exactly the way I ordered it and that is a first! Usually at this type of restaurant it is always well done, not medium the way I like it. The fried rice today was unbelievably good as was the cabbage. The salad dressing is a favorite and I will one day figure out or find the recipe. The cook was the best we have had at Shogun, great personality, interacted well with his customers. He cooked for a group of soldiers after cooking for my table and he launched a piece of food to see if one soldier could catch it in her mouth. She did and the place erupted in applause and laughter. A great experience that made our day. read more

I'll agree with the previous reviewer, it was alright. the Japanese food was okay, we had 2 california rolls and some hibachi. It was funny though all the waiters and even the cook were not asian. Oh well. I heard it burned down about a month of so after we ate there. Prices were a little bit higher than average, decor okay, food okay. read more

Terrible place, terrible food and to make everything worse the service was the worst I've ever received. Got fried rice it just tasted like butter. The salad dressing tasted like sweet mayo looked like snot. I highly recommend not ever going here. I am not sure how they are still in business read more

My fav place for dinner sushi... They have a lot of house specialities and there are so many amazing-tasting ones, I'm not afraid to try something new. The house soup is delicious, too. The hibachi dishes are tasty and they put on a fun show. I would eat here every night of the week if I could. I'll also mention that they made a bunch of rolls to be picked up while I was in the hospital giving birth. Sushi is the best "just had a baby" gift EVER. read more

After going to lunch there many times, the waitress was extremely rude, hateful , and made my lunch miserable. This was one of my favorite places to go. No longer going to this location , will go out of the way to the other location as long as she is not there. I don't want to be treated badly and especially paying for it. Awful, awful, awful..... Sad, it's just down the street, no longer. read more

Yeah I will give it a better rating, why you ask? The food is better and the price is not as high as the other Japanese restaurants in town. This is hands down the best Japanese steak house in Columbus. I have eaten at all of them, they all have about the same food, but this one gets the better rating. read more

I don't want to rate but you have to give stars to give a review so I went with it's average so as not to move the needle. I didn't want to assign stars because I didn't actually eat here. I sat inside, checked out the atmosphere (or lack of), and looked at the menu then decided to go somewhere else. It seemed more like a Red Robin with a Japanese themed menu than a real Japanese restaurant. read more

I mainly eat at the one in Montgomery Alabama, but I heard there was one in Columbus, GA also. Everytime I go I get the Geisha Special that is Steak and Chicken with Rice and veggies. They cook the food in front of you and this place is the best of all. I have dined at a few steak houses in Atlanta, but none come close to this place. If anyone is in the Columbus area or Montgomery, Alabama area please do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

I have never ate here and NEVER will. I'm all about service. I went into Shogun around lunch time. A guy saw me walk in and he went into the back, I'm assuming it was the kitchen area. I was the only customer in there at this time as far as I know. I sat there waiting for service for about 10 mins. and no one ever came to service me. I guess they didn't want my money. I politely got up, left, and went to Wasabi where the service is excellent. read more

I've only visited the new location once- but if it becomes anything like the old one- it was disgusting! The new one was clean when I visited (of course... it's new)! The food was the same- very skimpy! The steak looks more like a slice of ham (very thin). The prices are ridiculous considering the amount of food you get. Everything tastes pretty good, but other local Japanese restaurants are better to me! read more

I love Japanese steakhouses and this one suffices. I am not crazy about the sharing a table with total strangers concept but know it comes with the territory at a Japanese steakhouse. The food was good, expensive but that's par for the course (no pun intended) as well at a place like Shogun. If it weren't so pricey I would want to eat here at least a few times a month. read more

Shogun's is a good Teppan-style restaurant, just like all the others. The food is pretty good, the performance by the chef is usually entertaining, and the price is adequate. Unfortunately, there is nothing remarkable about Shogun's over the other Japanese teppan-style restaurants in the Columbus area. read more

Love these japanese steakhouses. Like the other 2 yelpers commented about sharing a table with strangers . Part of what makes these places so much fun. Yeah I do also agree the prices are a bit high. But it is in line with these types of restaurants. Will be back the next time I am in columbus. read more

Staff was extremely slow! One waiter, took forever to bring us our drinks. My wine tasted like it was the bottom of a bottle or box. Shrimp & steak were cooked excellent however the rice & vegetables were burned. Had to go to counter to get check & guy was having a difficult time trying to figure out how to do this! Crazy. read more

My overall experience here was extremely underwhelming. There was no bartender the whole time. The waitress said he left and I guess he never came back? Also our sushi got mixed up and some of mine ended up being on someone else's plate and vice versa. The sushi was not that great. read more

Wow talking about the worst service and worst food I have ever had Japanese wise. I mean my red snapper was frost bitten and I told our server whom had no idea what he was doing in the first place, he said oh ok. He could have had it replaced or done something to accommodate it. I asked if the tea was fresh brewed he said yes. It tasted like it came out of coca cola machine. Dude gross. The rice was sweet, my salad dressing was drenched in whatever this shit they call ginger dressing!!!! I wouldn't even accept a gift certificate to go back if they begged/offered me to. It was ridiculous. read more

I went there on sunday afternoon, seeking some good sushi?? they said in broken English, they had NO sushi, or no one to serve Sushi. everyone was on break! So started to leave, from the rude lady server..but stayed for the dinner...it was very tasteless...an beer was "hot" , needless to say..I will never be back read more

I love Shogun!! I can't believe all of the bad reviews!! I've never had a bad experience at either one in Columbus. I love the salad dressing and the filet. If you go at lunch, order a side of veggies as they don't serve them at lunch unless you order the vegetable plate or the side of vegetables. The chefs are always great and put on a great performance. read more

Food was mediocre and way too pricy for the lunch menu. The hibachi chef cooked the food quickly and my girls were expecting a show like in other hibachi places but there was none. The service was not bad but not many people were there at lunch time. Totally not worth it and will not eat here again. read more

Surprised at the bad reviews. I have been here many times and always receive great friendly service, you get what you pay for and the food has always been very good. Their homemade salad dressing is really just a hit or miss depending on the person. I myself love the salad dressing, i find myself craving it quite often actually. Would 100% recommend read more

Visited this place on Saturday night should have know something was up when all the other parking lots were full and it was only half full. My wife and I were sat at a table with other patrons and another table was sat about ten minutes after we arrived. They got their orders taken before us and received their food before us, receiving salads and soups. When our chef arrived he didn't have all of his supplies and kept calling to the kitchen for things he needed. The food wasn't that great either. Our chef was quite liberal with the soy sauce and everything came out too salty. Not worth the money that I spent.The only redeeming grace for this place was ourt chef was funny. read more

I usually have an awesome experience here, today it was horrible. It took forever to get our drinks. When our cook came out he wasn't friends. 4 of us at the table ordered extra rice, there wasn't enough. Don't think it's fair we had to pay for something we didn't get. Anytime we asked the cook anything he got aggravated. He only have 4 out of 6 people sauce at our table. The cook just acted like he was miserable having to cook for us. We sat at the table without drink most of the meal. They were very quick to bring us our check and pick up our money. read more

Food was cold. Should have gone with the teppanyaki. Got the chicken and shrimp combo. Shrimp pretty good, not sure how the chicken was cooked. Not like any teriyaki I ever had. Salad was pre-made. Dressing was separated into it's components. Worst salad ever in a Japanese restaurant. Decent service. read more

The worse service I have ever had. The sushi and appetizer came out after the main course was on the table. I would never recommend anyone that enjoys dining out to go here. read more

Food was okay. Went for lunch sushi tasted weird and the habachi food was good but no special show while cooking

I have eaten at several different Shogun restaurants. This one is clean, service was good but the food was wonderful. Our chef was personable and responsive to our requests. We had a party of 10 to provide service for. read more

I used to love this place when it located on Manchester Expressway in Columbus....since it burned down they built a new one by the strip mall. The owner is same, naturally...the food is not great and the portions were small just does not have that friendly feel to it anymore...its pricey $$-$$$. I miss the old one. 1 out of four "chefs" were friendly and good cooks with jokes....love the volcano trick. As far as oriental food goes I prefer Fugi's and its cheaper, lot of laughs at Fugi's read more

Surprised at low reviews. I thought it was decent and price was fair. Cook was entertaining. Not the flashiest one I've seen but pretty good and funny. Service wasn't as slow as others say. There was no music playing which made it awkward once cook left. Just silence. Server brought check as soon as cook was finished like they were in a hurry. Very slow nite as only 2 other couples in restaurant. We arrived about same time so we're seated together. Overall ok meal. read more

The soup tasted like dirty dishwater....seriously....go to fuji dont waste your money. ..Garbage....Get up and leave .....Honestly I disagree with most of these reviews. ...this was honestly the worst place I have been as far as hibachi style goes....when we first got there we noticed that the atmosphere was horrible they seated us at a table where the blinds barely kept out the sunlight that was blaring in our eyes while trying to visit with eachother at the table...the blinds were horrible and poor shape. ..the table was cracked and dirty and the server was sweating profusely and completly got our drink order wrong twice....before he even took our food order he tripped over a bucket and seemed very uncomfortable. ...We had been there 20 minutes and and had not ordered our food. ..at this point we decided to save our selves and leave. ..when we told them up front that we were leaving they asked us to pay for our drinks which my husband refused and told them they should have paid us for wasting our time! ! Although my son said it would have been fun to stay and watch the Guy because he probably would have set himself on fire....we made the right choice and.left and had a great dinner somewhere else. read more
