Shogun has the best smoked salmon and avocado rolls in the New Orleans area!!! Other items are great, too!!!

We had a large (11) party for lunch on Sunday. Shogun was a great choice. This is one of the few restaurants that offer lunch specials on a Weekend. Service was impeccable. Food was excellent. Ambiance was crowded but very pleasant. Recommended! read more

Been eating here for +25 years. Slightly different since new ownership (crunchy rolls were gritty, less veggies in hibachi rice, some weird lard/butter used on grill). Hope it was an off night. Will try once more. read more

Shogun is awesome! The food is awesome! And our waitress Emerson was amazing! Thank you so much!

Great food and service. I will be back. Thanks you Em for the great service! We will be back to try the hibachi soon.

Thanks Em! Excellent service and the food was fantastic as always. we will definitely be back

Let me preface, I don't even like hibachi. But this place, this place is different! Went here for the first time with some coworkers, I was reluctant but they insisted. I. Cleared. My. Plate. I was shocked! Went again with my kids and husband for a birthday lunch, absolutely consistently good! The rice and noodles have me hooked! Cooks are always playful, food is fresh and tasty, yum yum sauce is available by the gallon (iykyk) and the lunch is pretty cheap. It's an older building and they fit as many people in there as possible bc the wait can be a little much on the weekends. This isn't fine dining it's just damn good food! Highly suggest! read more

Very friendly service. Lots of seating. The sushi bar is where it's at though as that seems to be a very popular spot. We ordered gyoza dumplings (don't come after me, that's literally how it was named on the menu even though I'm aware adding dumpling after gyoza is repetitive), seaweed salad, yellowtail nigiri, salmon nigiri (both nigiri were fresh but just blah), Judy roll (favorite roll of the night because of the chili oil), and rainbow roll (crab inside was just not great), and green tea (you get a whole teapot so there is plenty and it was tasty). The rolls looked good as they came out too. The place is unoffensive middle of the road sushi with a strangely overstated menu (too many odd descriptions like adding "imported" before the "tempura shrimp") and might be amazing for Louisiana but definitely doesn't hold a candle to the many other spots I've been to. read more

My favorite sushi place in town! We've been going here for years and it's an expensive place, but the sushi is very fresh. I've never had crunchy rolls that were ever this crunchy before and we love the shrimp boxes. Service is quick and the habachi is a very fun experience. read more

Super happy they were open for Christmas Day! Server was excellent and friendly. Food was amazing as always

I was very excited to find a hibachi place and was going to make this my new place, however, 3 people in my party got food poisoning from the (cooked) steak. When I called the restaurant to let them know, their answering service said not to leave a voicemail. Letting everyone know here, as this is very unsafe and I'd hate for others to spend $40+ on a meal only to be sick for a day or two. I also thought it was a little strange that they threw the shrimp for people to catch instead of vegetables. Shrimp is such a common food allergy, and several people in my group don't like shrimp, so were unable to partake in this. read more

Love shogun best hibachi!!! Love the steak the service is great. the wait is worth it

I loveee shogun, I recommend coming for lunch because the lunch rice is so good. Their sushi rolls are also really good

This place is amazing. First, the entire staff treats you like family. Shoutout to Chance, our favorite server. TOSHI is the MAN to see at the sushi bar. Best sushi we've ever had, and he creates and explains each piece with intention. We love it here and for the quality the price is unmatched read more

This was the perfect place to bring my sister when she visited. The new menu items were fantastic. Our server was on top of it all.

25 years ago, this was my go to sushi place. I moved away and couldn't wait to go back and see if it was still as good as I remember. Unfortunately, it was not. My favorites back in the day were the crawfish roll, crunchy roll, eel roll, spicy salmon roll and baked seafood. I ordered the crawfish roll, fresh salmon roll with spicy mayo and baked seafood. They were all just meh. The baked seafood had a ton of onions and sparse seafood. The inside, although still decorated the same, seemed dark and sad. There were a lot less people eating than I remembered in the past. The hibachi was pretty busy, so I may return and try it. I think I'll try elsewhere for sushi. I also heard they have new owners, which may explain some of it. read more

Was very excited to try this establishment as every time you drive by they are crazy busy. Unfortunately, there's only a few spots to sit for the hibachi area and was staked out for a party of 20. That was quite disappointing. Was told that if you are sitting in the other part of restaurant you may/may not be able to get hibachi. Everything we ordered was just "ok." Nothing stood out, and we spent well over $140 trying things between 4 people. Nothing was overly tasty or impressive. The chicken on the teriyaki chicken plate was undercooked, the vegetables and tempura also had no flavor. I don't think this restaurant would be on the "revisit" list. Server was great. read more

I've been going to Shogun for several years and shogun has helped me through the most stressful of times, including college and professional school. Whenever we are at shogun, we are welcomed with smiles and good vibes. Not to mention, the food is always consistently amazing. They never fail to impress their customers. I will always come back! Love love love shogun ! read more

I've been here probably a handful of times, and it's never disappointed. Shogun is one of the best sushi restaurants in New Orleans (which doesn't take reservations), so be prepared to wait on weekends as it gets super busy and crowded. Luckily, I was always able to find one of the last couple of spots at the sushi bar which is the best spot in the house. Shogun serves their nigiri fully dressed (by request for an upcharge) with sauces and garnishes that pair so well with each different fish. Tonight, sushi chef Atsushi took care of us and he was such a nice Japanese man. You don't find many Japanese chefs at sushi restaurants in Louisiana, so it was cool to get to know him. He was attentive and friendly. I could tell he was smiling even with his face mask on. I highly recommend Shogun whether it's for their yummy fancy~ nigiri or for hibachi which they cook right in front of you, and I've heard their hibachi is the best, but you have to find out for yourself. read more

Started as a customer at the first location in 1986 and I always enjoyed the food. The Shogun dinner with lobster is delicious. The lunch is also outstanding. Almost 40 years as a happy customer who is never disappointed, the service is fantastic and portions are generous. This review should encourage you to try this restaurant or great Japanese food ! I almost forgot to say that the Hibachi dinner is also delicious and entertaining. read more

Foods always good, but if your going do the omakase it's worth it! Service is always amazing! The ambience is a little dated but it's a cool little spot. read more

Day date for 2. Total bill was $236 including a large Sapporo. It's a Sunday, doors open at 12 and there was already a line formed. Arrived at 12:05 and we were seated right away. Came hungry and left completely satisfied. If you want omakase, this is the go to place. Must be seated at the sushi bar. It may be a bit intimidating, but you leave your meal In the hands of the chef to prepare something tasteful, seasonal, elegant and artistic. With that being said, your dining experience is different each time bc there's multiple chefs. The following is what we had and it's ratings. *Two 12 piece omakase: our palates had an amazing experience *fried sweet prawn: 2 shrimps.. ehhh, could of done w/o for $16 *beef tataki: a must, beef was thinly sliced read more
