I really like the sushi at sho gun! The sizes are small but they're pretty tasty - faves are lobster roll, Las Vegas roll, and volcano. Soup is great as well read more

Your sushi depends on which sushi chef is available at the time. At times your sushi can be wonderful, while other times it can be mediocre. Regardless, it's always fresh and clean. Service tends to fall down hill as the restaurant gets busier. But what I enjoy is that the hibachi and sushi are separated into two wings of the restaurant. Therefore, when you go eat sushi, you don't come out smelling like hibachi. But out of all of the hibachi grills in Mobile, I would recommend Shogun, because it appears to be well ventilated. Mikato's is awful. You have to go home and take a bath following dinner to avoid the stench. read more

Sushi and service was excellent!!! Only sushi restaurant that we have been to that would let my wife order her specific way and we have tried so many in town. Food came out quick and I couldn't have been more pleased with the sushi. Sushi was amazing and we will be back. read more

The service was horrible and the waitress extremely rude and whenever some of the people with us were walked to the front to pay because they only ordered cheese sticks and a drink. Food was sub par although the vegetables were good. Will not be back here again. read more

This is so much food!! I had the teriyaki chicken and the plate of food was huge! No way I could eat it all. Loved the soup!! Everything was good. Served quick and hot. Opted for a booth, so didn't get the show, but I like that you can have a private conversation while you dine. read more

Not impressed at all. We waited 40 min for our table then 1 hour and 15 min until our chef started cooking the food. Then our server took 30 minutes to come get our drink order and then 30 minutes in between the times she came to our table. We could see her sitting in a booth playing on her phone texting; guess that was more important then our party. There was also a table of unsupervised teenagers that were being loud, running around and playing. The server left all the dirty plates out on the tables until we asked for our check. I will not be going back. read more

The bad: The men's restroom had no hot water, no paper towels, and no toilet paper, indicating lack of attention. In fact, the hot water control on the sink was somehow glued or otherwise fastened to prevent use, indicating that there was not merely no hot water connected that day due to some problem that was being fixed, but no intention of connecting the hot water. One of my dining companions noticed what appeared to be a dead bug in his soup (which had crunchy fried tempura bits in it), which the staff claimed was merely detritus from the fryer or something like that. The good: The service was good, as was the hibachi performance and the hibachi food. I was satisfied with the teriyaki chicken, and my fellow diners complimented the steak. Portions of both were generous. The mediocre: The salad was the kind you get precut in bags from the grocery store, and it was swimming in dressing. Overall: Stay away for at least a month. read more

Not the best but definitely not bad. We ordered the chicken hibachi, steak hibachi, and sushi rolls. Let me start with the sushi, ordered the Red Dragon roll (on the advice of our server) and the Scallop and Shrimp roll. Both were very good, but my favorite was the scallop roll. Everything was fresh and not drowned in sauces, highly recommend the sushi. Now the hibachi... our chef was good, not very talkative but seemed focused on cooking. The steak was cooked to the correct temp but was tough, the chicken was much better. Almost everything was under seasoned, vegetables, noodles, meat. The fried rice was on point though, and the soup and salad were good as well. I don't eat the yum-yum sauce but my wife and daughter said it was very good. Cost is standard pricing for a nice hibachi/sushi place. Would definitely go back for the sushi. read more

Shogun - Scallop and Shrimp roll and Red Dragon roll - Japanese Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Awful service. We walked in and basically were trampled walking through the door by a cook and wait staff. We were seated by ourselves and watched 3 other hibachi tables filled. We sat there for 20+ minutes and never even had our drink order taken. Not one staff member even came close enough to the table for us to bring it to anyone's attention. Finally after 30 minutes waiting we got up and made it known to the hostess that we were never attended to and were leaving. Upon hearing this, she waved goodbye to us as if we were bothering her. Ill never darken this trash establishment's door again. read more

I won't be coming here again. Service was lousy. I ordered a crunchy shrimp roll in soy wrap. I received something that looked decent until I got halfway through and bit into what appeared to be a piece of artificial crab that was rubbery and I couldn't bite through it, so I spit it out. Ten dollars wasted. I also order from the hibachi. I had chicken teriyaki. It had good enough flavor, however the inside of the chicken was refrigerator cold, as if it had been reheated and not prepared freshly. Ten more dollars wasted. I didn't expect the best ever, but freshly prepared and not rubbery are generally not what I expect. read more

If I have a meeting at this establishment, there's only one thing I ever order from here and it's the black dragon roll. I think it's the only good thing I've had here. We've had the hibachi, the Korean dishes, sashimi, and sushi rolls. The price of the items are very high here compared to the quality/quantity. The hibachi was underwhelming and the sashimi did not seem fresh. read more

It's amazing! The hibachi is beyond amazing. So is the sushi. The yum yum sauce is one of a kind.

This Place was excellent! It's my Dads birthday and is first time here. He really enjoyed every second in this place. Thanks

I've eaten here a few times over the years, but it had been a while until last night. I was a little scared based on the spotty reviews on Yelp, wondering if the place had gone downhill. I've always had a good experience here - both food and service. Last night was no exception. Our large group ordered an array: sushi, hibachi steak, scallops, shrimp and chicken. Everything was delicious, including the seafood (which I am a known snob of). They load you up on carbs - you get fried rice AND some yummy noodles. Brought home a ton of leftovers - which is typical for these hibachi places. So you really get your money's worth because you get 2 meals for the price of 1. I would definitely go back!! Always entertaining to watch the chefs wield their fire and knives. read more

The food is great, but restaurant are more than just great food. Clean up the restaurant and take up old carpet. I had ordered take out on several occasions, and food was excellent. However, entering the building it needs a deep cleaning. Dust fans when entering building as well. read more

Shogun has been our go to for hibachi and sushi for years! Best fried rice I've had at a hibachi place. On date nights I also order a few sushi rolls and it's all amazing! They have a small Korean menu, that's also delish. read more

Not a huge fan. Waited 30 plus mins to get sushi when only 3 tables where seated. Sushi was okay looking and mediocre. Reviews for 2013/2014 seemed good enough to try. Maybe somethings different about 2015. Probably won't be coming back. 1 star for food that didn't make me sick. 1/2 star for ok service. 1/2 for cleanliness. No other stars for happy greeting, timely food prep, or food quality. read more

We had the steak and shrimp. It was delicious! The salad has the best dressing and the YumYum sauce really adds a new dimension to the food. Overall a great experience. Enough leftovers for another meal. read more

Food ok service sucked ask for drink never got it seen our waitress 2 time the hole hour and half we where there.price to high for the service we got read more

I had really high expectations for this place because I've heard so many good things. I didn't hate it, the service was friendly, the chef was excellent and talkative. We went around 4 and the place was really slow so we got a hibachi table to ourselves. Our server was with us after a few minutes and took our drink orders, which took awhile to come out. I ordered the steak and chicken combo, my husband got just the steak, and we shared the mega spicy roll. The sushi came out as the chef was finishing up our hibachi dinner and I was really hoping to get it sooner so I didn't have to eat it all at once. The sushi is what really ruined it for me, the rolls were just too big to even get in my mouth in one bite and the taste was bland at best. The actual dinner was decent, the steak was cooked really well and the chicken was good but I wish you got to put some of the food on a separate plate instead of stacking it all on one, it comes with both meats, fried rice, cooked vegetables, and noodles on top. I would have been fine with the rice and vegetables and meat, the noodles everywhere just made it messy and gave me no choice but to eat around them which was hard, and I couldn't even get to half of the rice. I probably won't return here because it's just not for me, but I can see how others would really enjoy it. Take into consideration that it is a LOT of food before ordering, and it comes out messy so you have to be okay with food mixing. read more

House Soup & Spring Rolls were Delish! Sushi Rolls were Ok. I'm use to seeing Sushi Rolls come out on such neat dishes like little boats and stuff. The simple white plate was disappointing. But yea they tasted ok :-[ read more

Worst. Dining. Experience. Ever. The sushi tasted off and it took the waitress 15 minutes to check on us after dropping it off. Took her another 15 minutes to bring us our check. She charged us for a soup we didn't order and then claimed it "came with the meal" but it's still a charged item!'? I have worked in the food industry specifically for over 5 years and never have I witnessed such behavior. I never even saw a manager after claiming their product tasted out of date. I will not be back again and seriously regret not listening to other naysayers before me. read more

We really love this place. Great sushi, soup and excellent service. Thanks Julie and Christina. My wife and I are regulars and eat here at least once or twice a week. The hibachi tables are fun and the chefs are entertaining and talented but we most often just sit in the sushi bar and enjoy the great food. The service is really good unless the crowd is bigger than anticipated and then the waitstaff is overwhelmed. We have tried most of the oriental the Oriental the Themed restaurants I'm Mobile and this is our favorite by far. Try the fried rice and I think you will agree. It has the best taste of any that we have tried anywhere. Once, when I was sick and did not want to eat, my wife stopped and got some clear soup and brought it home to me. Better than Momma's chicken soup for what ails you! read more

My favorite hibachi! I've been coming here since high school and have tried many different hibachi places. I love the soup here as well and almost always get the chicken hibachi. read more

This is my "go-to" hibachi place in Mobile. Going anywhere else is settling. Service is usually lousy but the food is absolutely amazing.

Ok experience. The servers are not very attentive and the Resturant seemed too gloomy. Hibachi was great and our chef was entertaining and friendly. I would recommend this place to others. read more

We went here looking for a nice Japanese restaurant. I called and made a reservation before hand just to be sure we could get a table. I am glad I called ahead, I didnt see a bare table anywhere. When we arrived we were seated in a special vip section. We were in a private booth with a mini tv in it, nice touch! The night only got better as it went on. I ordered a fruity green drink just for a nice buzz. It came in a cool samurai porcelain glass that I was able to keep, score! I ordered chicken and it was magnificent. read more

Excellent!! We took out daughter here for her birthday and the food was fantastic. The hibachi chef was super friendly and very entertaining. We've been to other hibachi restaurants in the Mobile area and they were good but seemingly skimpy in the servings. This was not the case at Shogun! We ended up taking food home and ate on it for two days after. Highly recommended! :) read more

My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant. The servers are amazing and the sushi is the best in town. We've frequented almost every sushi restaurant in mobile and Baldwin counties and yet we continue to return back to shogun everytime. Thumbs up! read more

We went here looking for a nice Japanese restaurant. I called and made a reservation before hand. When we got here we were seated in a special section, sweet! The night only got better as it went on. Our waiter was courteous and I was appreciative she put up with our obnoxioness even though we fit it as well as an orange in a gorilla pit. I ordered a fruity green drink just for a buzz since I wanted to remember this occasion. The drink came in a cool samurai porcelain glass that I was able to keep, winning! I ordered chicken and it was magnificant. My dish was so good I even ate my veggies which I rarely do so props to Shogun. For an upscale restaurant in a modest building Shogun did not dissapoint. read more

This used to be our favorite spot for hibachi and sushi in Mobile. After our experience last night I sincerely doubt we ever go back. We walk in at 6:30 on a Tuesday night to a dead restaurant. It wasn't even 1/3 full. Nothing but empty tables. Our party was 5 and a baby and we chose to sit on the sushi side. They asked us to wait for them to clean off one of the big tables even though I was standing in plain view of an empty dining room full of clean tables. We waited about 10 mins while all the waitresses stand around and chat until finally my husband went up and asked how much longer until our table was ready. At this point we are show to one of the aforementioned EMPTY, CLEAN tables that had been there all along. We order and receive our drinks. Since we were never given sushi menus, I walk up to the counter and grab a couple so we can be ready to order if we ever see the waitress again. After about 10 mins she finally comes back to take our order. Two of our party order off the hibachi and the rest of us order various rolls and nigiri. After about a 15-20 minute wait the hibachi orders come out and are eaten and leftovers put in to go boxes before the rest of us ever got our sushi. It was an act of congress to even get drink refills. She took one glass and was gone so long my husband stood up and looked around the corner to see what was going on and she was standing there talking to the other waitresses with the glass in her hand. It was at this point that we had enough. Our ticket was $131 and this is the first time any of us have ever walked out without leaving a tip. The restaurant was empty and she was more concerned with talking to her co workers than doing her job. I had to walk all the way up front to the counter to pay our bill because she never came back after dropping it off. I have no problem waiting if a place is busy and crowded. But being treated like we were when you are one of 5 tables in the whole place is completely unacceptable! read more

I love Shogun it was so clean, but the waitress was a bit slow. Waitress kept glasses filled. The chef was a little slow coming to the Hibachi grill to cook the food but when he got there it was awesome. Great time to converse with my daughter, it was a lovely lunch outing. I had sushi and it was so fresh and tasty my daugther almost out ate me. Good food, little slow with service, very clean even the bathrooms. Try it for your self. read more

This place is awesome!!! We come here several times in the 2 weeks we are in Mobile. The Hibachi is great and the cooks are always very good and entertaining. They give you lots of food for your money. I always look forward to coming here. read more

Decent Japanese hibachi style restaurant. I was a little disappointed to learn you could not order sushi on the hibachi side. Overall a fun place for a night out. read more

One of the better Hibachi restaurants in Mobile that doesn't have an obnoxious owner. The food is good but very inconsistent. This is expected with the many different chefs at the grills. The saving grace of the restaurant is their sushi bar. Cool, friendly sushi masters that were very knowledgeable of their craft. Some of the better rolls available in town and some of the freshest fish you'll find in the area. Kind of pricey but that's expected at Hibachi and sushi restaurants. My clear favorite in town. read more

Absolutely my favorite place to go. The portions are perfect and I never have a problem with my food. Great for sharing!

This is nice place to eat with friends. I usually just eat Hibachi and you cannot go wrong here. I have never had a bad experience here. The prices and comparable to other restaurants of this specialty. read more

Best hibachi joint ever! Great quality, and twice the quantity for the same price. Sam was awesome. Sushi was really good too. Can't wait to come back. Wonderful atmosphere, definitely worth the hour drive from Biloxi. read more

The food is great don't get me wrong, but the service is awful. The employees all have attitudes and their reservation process is awful. It was a group of teenagers and they were arguing with us like children when we simply asked a question. If you want good hibachi then I recommend going to Bamboo Steakhouse where they will treat you with respect. The hostess by the name of Julie came off as rude and very disrespectful when we asked one simple question. read more

I thought they were crazy charging 16-20 for a plate until I saw the show you get while they cook it. And they keep bringing you food so you will get your money's worth. Very good food read more
