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

Great service and great food. although it was busy for Father's Day, all of the wait staff were happy and helpful. our server and chef made the dining experience. Wonderful! We have been coming to the restaurant for 30 years and it's nice to see the same employees working and helpful. read more

We go here at least once a month! My kids love it and pick it for any celebration!! The owner and staff are so kind and the food is so good! Hibachi and sushi! We LOVE shogun!!! read more

Starting off they don't have sweet tea. Truly don't understand how in south Louisiana sweet tea is not an option. Chef didt put on a show at all. Very nice but no show I mean nothing, no chooo choo no volcano not a thing .The food taste is the exact same as other hibachi options. The price is THROUGH THE ROOF! Def not worth the extra expense Final thought, over priced read more

food and service was excellent. my daughter had the best 15th bday party at the hibachi grill at shogun. And the adults had great sushi and sake. I would highly recommend visiting shogun. read more

Love this place! Delicious each time I come I always get the shrimp hibachi. I'd recommend it! 10/10

I was there on Wednesday night 4/24. I left. With an hour I was so sick I had food poisoning. I had one rainbow roll , yellow tail sushi.. on the Friday 4/26. I told someone about my experience .. they said they had the same experience. Ever since they were sold. It not has clean place or safe to eat there !! read more

3.89 Everything else was delicious I love all the different options. I wish the menu had more descriptions so I know more about what I'm ordering instead of trying to have the menu explained to me by the waitress. However the food was great. Would absolutely go back and try different things. The tuna shogun style was my favorite! read more

Shogun is the most authentic Japanese restaurant in the New Orleans area. Excellent food and service. It has been my choice for about 30 years. Friendly staff. Eating alone? Sit at the sushi bar. You're no longer alone. read more

awesome place to eat and visit with family we come all the time with family! I love the over all experience! If your visiting the city def worth a visit here read more

Service was horrible!! Emersyn needs to learn to listen to her guest and what they order and not argue with them and show them her notepad and state "this is what you ordered I wrote it down " I know what I ordered I order the same thing every time I come in which has been 33 years. She brought the sushi appetizer which I did not order I ordered the sashimi appetizer. I told her she brought the wrong appetizer. She argue the point. My friend so uncomfortable that she said she would take it. She didn't want it nor had the money for it. At that point I was finished. So that &15 was apart of her tip. $5 was all I was giving to total $20. I gave the guy helping us $20. If she would've owned up to her mistake and took that dish back she would've made $40. I'm a server of 48 years and know how to treat guests and she needs to do better. The guy busing our table took better care of us than she did. He brought us 2 go boxes, they were sitting open one on each side of the table she walks up and asks twice " do y'all want go boxes?" We motioned to the boxes like we have them. read more

Great Mother's Day lunch! Restaurant was packed but they sat us down quickly (group of 5), and food came out fast and hot. Server was super organized. No food missing and everything was right. Thank you!! read more

SHOGUN IS ALWAYS THE BEST IN METAIRIE!! The service is always quick and the staff is very friendly. The sushi is what makes it the very best read more

Shogun? More like sho-yum! Sushi is a true weakness of mine and I am always on the hunt for a new sushi spot to add into my rotation. I had heard that Shogun had a solid sushi game so decided to give it a try. When my partner and I were trying to decide what to order, we came across their teishoku set meals and just had to try it! As a person who has a hard time choosing what to eat and has a tendency to want to try a smattering of a bunch of different things, set meals are one of my favorite things. My partner and I both got the chicken katsu teishoku. The katsu was thick, juicy, and crispy. But the real stars of the show were the sides dishes. They were all packed with different flavor profiles that took you on a food journey in a pick-your-own-adventure kind of way. We got a takoyaki, miso soup, pickled veggies, and age dashi tofu. You also get a generous serving of tuna, yellow fin, and salmon sashimi! Everything was quite yummy. On top of that I got some toro sashimi because when I see toro I feel compelled to get it. Did I stuff myself silly with this meal? Why yes, yes I did. Do I regret it? Definitely not. read more

The food is always fantastic. I have been going here for years and cannot recommend it enough. It has the same people running it for years and they are beyond kind. The ambience is always lovely and it carriers the aesthetic of the restaurant well. It is my favorite restaurant and I doubt it will be topped for years read more

If you've never had a hibachi experience before what you want to look for is good customer service, a fun show, quality, well cooked food and good portion sizes. They check all the boxes at Shogun. Parking might be tough depending on what time you go. If you have a party, all members must be present to be seated for hibachi so take that into a account as well. All the servers were attentive and present, making for a great dining experience for the customer. The show is always fun here. If interactive eating isn't your thing it's ok it's not forced into you. The food quality as far as freshness and taste is concerned is great as well. They have a good menu and great prices for lunch. The portion sizes are huge. I can never finish in the restaurant. This place is good for a fun night out and celebrations. The drink menu is small and the dessert menu is smaller so it's mainly hibachi or sushi. If you need a fun place to go for a group I'd recommend Shogun. It's a fun dining experience. read more

The service was great as usual. The food was tasty and wasn't long of a wait for a Saturday lunch. We have been long-time customers. They have seen us through 4 generations, from my grandparents to my family having kids. Charlie is best! Would recommend for both hibachi or sushi. read more

Shogun - Salmon teishoku lunch special - Japanese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Great restaurant with great people. Bubba is a great server along with Sofia. Crunchy rolls Utah rolls, hamachi Kama was great

Do not believe the reviews the staff is rude. They're inconsiderate and racist especially the manager there was hair all in my food and they did nothing about it, and they tried saying that there was no hair When I showed it to them multiple times and they tried acting like they was blind and they wasn't trying to make me sound crazy. This place sucks and they stole $50 and did not give change back and called the cops because I was complaining about the hairs found in my food read more

Food was great And service was fast and attentive! Coming at 5:30 was a great idea because it got pretty busy fast!

Always the best of the best. The yakitori lunch is an easy go-to with soup, salad, skewers. I love the cabbage salad as well. The servers are always attentive and the front of house is nice. There is a nostalgia here that's warms my lil heart like a bowl of miso soup. read more

UPDATE (04/04/2025): Norovirus & Ecoli are what you gonna get if you decide to dine here. Don't be fooled by the owner's comment that sounds like they care about your experience or what happened to you. Speaking from my own experience, they reached out to me about what happened and said they are working with their insurance. Then this is when they started playing games and it seems like they dont want to be responsible for what happened to me and my family. I suggest you also contact Jefferson Parish department of health to inquire about their food handling violation. Their freezer failed the required temperature and hence, their fish and meat are not stored correctly. read more

Atmosphere- all staff were wearing masks and very attentive. Our waitress came and checked on us multiple times even though it was extremely busy. Food - I really wanted to try and traditional teishoku dinner so I oder the beef (medium). The miso soup came out first and was delicious. Just the right temperature! The tofu was soft but did not soak up much flavor. The teishoku dinner came next. I. The traditional style there was eggplant, salmon cake, plain white rice, pickles, and sashimi (tuna, salmon, lemon pepper fish). Overall the meal was delightful! I love the beef - had some sort of teriyaki sauce, the sashimi was fresh and delicious! While shogun is know for other dishes, I highly recommend giving a teishoku a try! read more

First time and it won't be my last time! Was given the options of a regular table, sushi bar or hibachi table. We took the hibachi table. We were seated with 6 other guests. We were given the menu and we chose our options. We were given a clear soup to start off. Then the house salad, the dressing was probably one of the best I've had! Then the chef came out and started asking how we would like our meat temperature to be. Then the show began. The chef made the experience enjoyable humorous but kept it professional. To see the food made in front of you makes you want to dig in even more! The food has an amazing flavor and we will most definitely be back! By the way, I got the Chefs Special(Chicken and Steak) and my girlfriend got the Vegetable Dinner (Veggies). Also if you order sushi it comes out before the Chef starts the show! read more

I've eaten omakase all over and this one of the best I've ever had. Best sushi in the New Orleans area by far and they have awesome hibachi as well. Great service, reasonable prices. Everything is top notch. 10/10 recommend! read more

This place was just food. Maybe I'll try them again just to see. We did hibachi and also ordered a few sushi rolls. I wasn't a fan of the sushi at all. It was heavily riced and they didn't offer a lot. Not as many specialty rolls as other places in Metairie and the N.O. The hibachi was decent but I've had better. Noodles were a bit over cooked and sticky but the chef did cook my meat well. Hibachi rice was also decent. read more

Everytime I order food to go I have an issue. My experience this evening was horrible. I will never return here. To be honest, I started coming here out of convienence not because it's the best. Each time I order food it has been wrong. I don't mind it being wrong and I don't mind paying extra for what I want. My issue is don't have an attitude when I try to explain what I'm looking for. Customer Service is clearly out the window. read more

I've been coming to Shogun for over 30 years and it's still the best Japanese restaurant in the city. The teppanyaki/hibachi menu is amazing and the sushi is always exceptional. Highly recommended!!! read more

Everything this place has amazing food flavor is amazing and the staff exceptional! Best hibatchi in the city.

All four of us had the hibachi. The performance chef was funny and enjoyable. The food was okay however just sitting there and looking around me me sick to my stomach. Have the ever heard the meaning of cleanliness? The floor was also filthy and it was sticky as you walk on it. I wonder those individuals whose gave the 5 stars care about the cleanliness of where they eat??????? read more

My favorite place for Sushi and the Hibachi is the best especially if you want takeout.!!! The wait is extremely long sometimes over an hour that can use some work but other than that i love this place.! read more

Shout outs to our AMAZING SERVER BUBBA!! You did a great job and took AWESOME care of us. Shogun is the life of "metry" right off of vets you can see how popular and busy this establishment is on a daily basis. Parking lot is ALWAYS packed, so make sure to plan accordingly. We didn't make reservations but thank goodness it wasn't an awful wait. 20-25mins MAX, now we went for sushi but shogun does offer hibachi as well. We went on a busy Saturday night and upon trying to get our orders started Bubba did preface us that some menu items were unavailable which was a bummer, but we explored the menu even more. This led us to the magical salmon belly, Judy roll, and uni! The quality of fish pretttty good! The uni, sweet and creamy, the salmon belly just melted in your mouth. However i would have done without the chili sauce but nonetheless, spectacular. A plus is that they serve fresh grated wasabi, such pure joy when paired with the right fish! The quality of the rolls were good, they held together and it wasn't sloppy. Overall very very very great service, request Bubba please, heck tell them to give Him a raise! Will be coming back to enjoy more. read more

THE best Japanese food in the area. For lunch or dinner, it's fantastic. They have a great, and very large, selection of delicious fresh sushi and the hibachi is so good. I love the hibachi salmon and chicken. Yummy! read more

Ah yes, shogun. An institution for the New Orleans area. Going here brings back memories of when I was a kid and my parents would take me to the big city to try exotic dishes, this was a time when we had a room dedicated to a computer and god forbid you picked up the phone to make a call while someone was using it, but I digress; Decent sushi for a decent price, attached is my usual order. Change amount according to number in group read more

Shogun - Japanese Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Review is strictly for omakase at the bar. Definitely the best place to get omakase in the area. I have been to each sushi chef there and they all have different takes on how they will prepare the nigiri for you. The fish is always fresh and the nigiri is always dressed well, if you're into that. I usually spend around $90-130 for two people depending on the amount of pieces I get. It's definitely well worth the money! read more

I stopped here last weekend for a quick late lunch. Opted to sit at the bar. I was promptly given a tasty seaweed salad as a little starter. I think the sushi chef was in training bc another gentleman stood behind him the whole time he prepared orders...but he did a great job. Lol. I ordered the fresh salmon box...which was a lot smaller than i remember. I was in and out within 30 min. Im sure it helped that it was like 4:30..which kinda falls between lunch n dinner. Easy parking behind the restaurant. Worth a repeat visit. read more
