We came in for lunch because we wanted to try out the Glasgow location, as we LOVE the one in Bowling Green. The server was fabulous! Very attentive and nice. I was a little disappointed that they didn't fry their seafood in different oil than everything else (shellfish allergies)... but I was still able to find plenty on the menu to order. My husband ordered sushi - he said it was very good. (The person that brought it to the table just set it down and walked away - we learned later that he was the Manager). The food was fabulous- as always!!! The biggest downfall I could see today was The Management was definitely lacking in social skills - which is unfortunate. We will be back!! read more

Tasty food, but bizarre service. There were language barriers when ordering and most staff acted like we were inconvenient by just being there. The hibachi meal (which should be fun) felt rushed. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. I asked for Yum Yum sauce and they delivered it to me in the kitchen tub, not in an individual bowl which could speak to cleanliness issues. Glad food tasted OK but I wouldn't go back. read more

I have been here several times but the last time was about 2 years ago. There were 4 adults and 3 children with us. Waitress was not very friendly. Said very little. Only what she had to say. The food just did not have the good Shogun flavor. Not mush flavor at all No grill show for the kids at all like every other Shogun or hibachi restaurant. I ordered regular steak and rice with vegetables hibachi and water to drink. My bill was $38. I think that is crazy. They charged us 18% gratuity and large party tax. We had seven people three of which were kids. They have never done this before any shogun I've ever been to. We did no more than feel one of those seating places with one to spare. By charging every ticket that 18% that's a lot. Why should you tip if they're already charging you 18% I will not be back. The food was mediocre. The service was mediocre and I'll give it a . If I'm gonna spend my harder earn money, I'm gonna be treated nicely and at least act like you want somebody there worst experience at a shotgun I've ever had and I will not be back!!! read more

This is the WORST hibachi I've ever eaten! Where to start.. I don't typically leave bad reviews anywhere but this place was so bad it's ridiculous. I ordered vegetable hibachi like I do anywhere else.. The broccoli is warm but raw and has an off taste I can't put my finger on what the flavor is but it doesn't taste like any kind of broccoli I've ever eaten. The potato's are half raw and the carrots are rubbery. The rice just tastes like rice with oil in it. The noodles are extremely tough and chewy like trying to eat twizzlers? The miso soup was good. The sriracha is good but the yum yum sauce was pretty much just Miracle whip. It was $52 for this and my husbands shrimp and chicken hibachi (that was equally bad) 10/10 don't recommend. read more

I don't even know where to begin. I stopped here with the family because hibachi is always great entertainment for the kids. Or at least it has been everywhere else. They took our orders. My daughter just wanted miso soup. We asked for it three times and it only ever arrived after everybody else at the table was done eating. No sense of urgency. No apology. Nothing. There is no showmanship of any kind as you would expect from hibachi. No volcano. No steam engine. No egg tricks. Just a chef making the food in front of you with no comment. The chef just passed out the bottle of yum yum sauce. There was no other sauce. We had to ask for the dishes for the sauce. There were four teenaged girls at our table and they just poured it over their rice. So maybe the locals here are in the habit of terrifying misuses of the sauce. Definitely won't be returning. read more

We only went there for the sushi, it was probably the worst sushi i've had. Service was okay but the prices did not add up with what was on our receipt. read more

Terrible service. Our server couldn't even be bothered to smile and acted like she was inconvenienced by our presence. The food used to be enjoyable, but quality has severely decreased. Hibachi dinner had no vegetables other than carrots and onions. Food was bland. Too expensive for such poor quality. Won't be back. Do not recommend. read more

Unfortunate Update: We were so excited to return to Shogun after our initial time there, but we are now thinking that was a fluke. My husband and I went alone for a nice date. We were seated and given the absolute worst waitress we have ever experienced-- this lady seemed like not only a terrible food service employee but someone I would never want to meet on a human to human basis. She was rude and did the absolute bare minimum for us to recognize her existence. We got the Crab Rangoon app which was mediocre, and it was given to us with ketchup. With no one else in the building after a few minutes we had to walk over to ask someone to get us the sweet sauce for our rangoons-- the kitchen help quickly fixed it all while laughing at his mistake (understandable I guess? Even though there were literally no other customers around at this time.) We got two rolls each. She brought them to us and walked away back to the small group of employees that were sitting around chatting. My husband walked over to the server station and got soy sauce bowls and chop sticks. The sushi was probably the most boring tasting food I've ever had. The grumpy woman came to give us our check and said nothing to us. We cashed out and left. I've never really felt more like an experience was a waste of money than I did when we left. We absolutely won't be going back. I'll recommend the other place down the road instead... read more

I am glad that such a restaurant found its way to this small community; however, if they don't start steering this ship, it's going to sink! To begin, they need to implement some standards of cleanliness. The table, backsplash, and sides of the grill were disgusting; covered in dried food. Since we were the first to be seated on a Saturday morning lunch, this was uncalled for. The bathrooms seemed equally unsanitary. They had obviously not been adequately cleaned. The wait time was terrible. We were seated immediately as they opened at 11 am. The server took our order quickly, then from there it was all down hill! We got our drinks, soups (barely warm) and salads, but It seems as though we had to wait until our grill side table was full until they would begin to cook our food...40 minutes later the chef showed up and began to cook. The table adjacent to us was seated almost 20 minutes after us and their cook started at the same time as ours. I realize that being a cook in this setting takes some level of skill in order to prepare folks food as they watch, make everything correctly and put on a little show (and I do mean little-don't expect much flair here). At least our chef was good at cooking and the food was cooked as ordered. Timing wasn't great, as my salmon was placed in my plate and then I waited another 15 minutes to get the hot garlic sauce I requested (which is in the menu description, but doesn't come with it unless you ask for it-how does that make sense!?). Then there were the portion sizes! Honestly, my wife and I have never left a Shogun hibachi without a to-go box. It was not needed today! The cook divided half of the rice between 7 people, 1 scoop each, then added hot sauce to the remaking half and divided it between three men. Their plates were literally overflowing with rice while the rest of us had a small portion. I had never experienced that kind of disproportionate serving sizes before this event. During every other visit here, the chef had always dispersed small dishes and filled them with the white sauce. Today, the chef placed the entire carafe of sauce on the table in front of me. I sat there wondering if I was supposed to use it or if I was supposed to be waiting for the small bowls to arrive. I guess I waited too long because after I didn't pick it up, he grabbed it and placed it in front of the men he had been catering to. So now, I guess they do "community sauce carafe". Personally, I found that to be extremely unsanitary. The person who was just handing raw meats hands off a carafe that the entire table is intended to pass around. Just not for me! The staff we experienced during this trip just seemed apathetic. I asked the server twice for pepper and she acted as if she never heard me. It is loud in there with four overhead fans, so I can assume she didn't hear me. However, when the cook was present he kept whispering questions about how we wanted our food prepared. If it weren't for some lip reading skills and repeated requests for him to repeat, communication would have been totally stifled! I have heard from several former employees that this place is infested with roaches. After today's filthy and apathetic encounter, I understand why that would be the case. For me-I won't be back unless I see Yelp! reports that things have drastically improved. I hope this happens! read more

Shogun of Glasgow - Hibachi salmon - Japanese Near Me - Glasgow, Kentucky

Took my husband here for Father's Day dinner... it was miserably hot in the restaurant. We assumed it was just in the lobby/ seated dining not hibachi with all the grills. However, without any concern or precaution, we were sat in a room that continuously grew hotter. Everyone was fanning themselves, little kids with red cheeks, and everyone was visibly sweating. We were not even able to sit and enjoy our meal- placed our food in a to go box immediately and left.... only after trying to pay at the front because our waitress was MIA , but instead had to track her down. The service was a miss, our waitress seemed to not know what was going on, we never received refill, no cups for yum yum sauce, no yum yum sauce, and the poor chef had to go get things for us. We ordered our steak -medium, and when we bit into it , it was very clearly rare. We will 100% make the drive to Bowling Green the next time we want Shogun. This restaurant is too expensive for low quality or no quality service. Huge disappointment. read more

It was Halloween night, the streets infested with children and ghouls alike. We attempted to go to another restaurant nearby, but they ended up being closed so we ended up here. The place was relatively clean and well made. There was only a handful of people in the restaurant and the man at the counter sat us with a smile. We got our food in a timely manner and had a good meal. The only caveat was with the roll I ordered, the fish was a little tough in some of them, and I thought they were rather mild for having jalapeños and spicy mayo, but the wasabi and pickled ginger fixed that. All in all, a good restaurant. I rate it 4 stars. read more

Have been going to this location for years but that has ended! The staff and I know one another on first name basis but the place is crawling with Roaches. I killed 4 of them on the bar and gave them to the staff. They were apologetic but I was unable to eat my meal as you can imagine. They gave me 3 dollars off knowing I had only eaten two bites before the killing of roaches started. I paid my bill and exited. I'm sure they didn't discount it anymore because they knew I would not be back and they are correct!!!! Sad thing is there was another time that a roach came across the counter while I was having a drink and I dismissed it as an isolated incident. Now I am sick and disgusted. read more

We have not visit Shogan in almost a year after our last visit it seemed run down and not clean. To our pleasant surprise it was terrific. Our waitress, Shelby was top notch and the food was super good! We have sushi tools, edamame, and great cocktails!! We will be back for sure! Please ask for Shelby you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Shogun of Glasgow - Bar area - Japanese Near Me - Glasgow, Kentucky

This was the worst place I ever eaten. If I could give it a 0 out of 10 I would. Possibly even the negatives. Where do I even start? The front host had a bad attitude when she asked what we wanted. Then our waitress was okay at first. Took our drink order right away, but then swapped me and my partners drink (not a big deal, easy switch). Then when we ordered our appetizers, she looked at us with the worst glare I have ever seen in my life and lowkey fat shamed us. She straight up said "oh you want more" We had barely eaten all day and was on a 7 hour car trip home. We ordered 2 rolls of sushi and the spring rolls as our appetizers. Shortly after our spring rolls came out and they were okay, nothing to really complain about. The we ordered our food and asked for no vegetables and extra noodles. She once again fat shamed us, and told us "I think that's enough noodles but okay" I would just like to state that I am a 145 lb adult male. I'm not even overweight in the SLIGHTEST. Even if I was it would never be acceptable for a server to fat shame. Then when our chef came out he dropped a bottle and tripped over it and then put it on the same cart with our food and then dropped it again. He seemed VERY out of it, like maybe he was high or drunk Idek but it was terrible. He didn't do any tricks our customer engagement things that you get at other Hibachi restaurants. The only word he said to us the ENTIRE time was asking how we wanted our steak cooked. The grill itself was disgusting when we came in. We watched him clean it and multiple large spots and then put our food in those spots. Our food itself was absolutely terrible. 10 minutes after we ordered our food they came and told us they were out of crab for the Spider Roll. We said that was okay and we didn't need a replacement and to just have it taken off bill. Then we asked for some chopsticks and the waitress told us okay. She came back multiple times to the other guests at our table to get them drink refills and other things, while my wife sat there with her cup empty and waiting for chopsticks, she completely ignored us. Like 20 minutes later she finally realized we needed drink refill, and we had to ask for our chopsticks again and she acted like we were crazy. Idk if it's because we are white but she acted like we shouldn't be using them. Not only that, but she took my wife's cup and gave her a new one and then took her straw out of the old cup and put it in the new one. With her bare fingers, right where we drink from. Didn't even offer us to move it. Then our cook itched his nose mid cooking and didn't change gloves or anything. The chairs were pretty uncomfortable too. Not only that.... But I got stuck in the bathroom. The stall got attached to the wall somewhere and it wouldn't open up. Just overall a terrible experience and our food was overcooked, weird flavor, sushi was terrible and just terrible service and dirty area. Just don't come here. I hope I don't wake up with food poisoning. read more

Good service, good food. :) love this place so much, go all the time, every time the food gets even better

I paid almost $40 for my food to go. When I got there the girl at the front was rude but I let it go. Then I get to work and go to eat on my break and my order is completely wrong. I ordered the filget mignon and ended up with geisha signature rolls California deluxe Maki hot night Maki and a house salad non of which I will eat. They are now closed so I can't get ahold of anyone tomorrow. Very dissatisfied. read more

It started well. Had the Hibachi grill which consisted of miso soup and salad for starters. Soup was tepid and salad had too much dressing. Chef was pleasant and a good showman. Flounder was delicious, as was the unagi. Scallops too. Grilled veggies had potatoes. That's a first. Also included carrots and zucchini. No bean sprouts though. Also included noodles. Fried in soy and ginger sauce. Very tasty. Altogether it was pretty good. I'll be back. Next time it will be all-you-can-eat sushi. They fly it in from Hawaii 3 times a week on ice. read more

My boyfriend and I go to Shogun's in Glasgow at least twice a month and USUALLY have a wonderful experience with great sushi. We decided to bring my parents in for their first time last night (3/1/19) because we love it so much. We arrived around 6:20 pm. We have had to wait a few minutes to be seated in the past, which is no big deal, so we expected it, but we (and other customers) waited about 10 minutes at the door before the hostess even appeared. We were seated to a dirty table right away since there were plenty of open bistro tables, just not well cleaned. Then, it took another 15 minutes to see our waitress for a drink order- 15 minutes to get our drinks. More waiting for our dinner order to be taken... I received 1 of my 3 ordered sushi rolls before the appetizers came out- not sure why? My mom then got her side salad- not sure why, again. Appetizers came. More sushi, then my mom's main course, then my dad's side salad, and finally my dad's main course came when we were all practically done- AFTER I had complained to the only helpful staff member I encountered. The main waitress (I wish I got her name) she finally brought our check and apologized for the order in which we received our food, but that she just quit. She went on and on about the drama between her and the other staff, which made us feel super uncomfortable. We had been there almost 90 minutes for what we thought would be a quick meal and we just wanted to leave. I know this was just a rare incident, but it was so disappointing and uncomfortable. Five stars to the sushi chef and kitchen staff, though. read more

I was excited for Shogun to come to Glasgow. Shogun in Louisville is one of my favorite places to eat. This one however, lacked the consistent Shogun flavor. First, they insist that the entire party is present before they'll sit a group at the hibachi. We had 5 out of a party of 6 and they still wouldn't seat us. However, once we did get seated, it took 15 minutes for us to get our drinks. Our chef did very few of the typical Shogun entertainment. He did however, leave our food on the grill for about ten minutes and just leave. He came back with a bowl of mushrooms and explained he had gone to the bathroom. This is just so different from other Shogun restaurants. The menu is different, the soup is different, the salad dressing is different, the vegetables are different. I'm not sure why you would pay for the Shogun name and not have it be consistent with others in the chain. There is another Americanized Japanese restaurant in Glasgow, but it's not called Shogun, so I wasn't expecting it to be Shogun. I think when I eat in Glasgow, I'll stick with Mexican food. read more

Have been 3 times to the restaurant in the last 2 months. I start by saying that the food is excellent. I have ordered from the menu on all 3 occasions. It has the Tappenyaki in the other room and when I try it I will submit a second review. As I said I have really enjoyed the food. I have had the Scallops, Flounder, and the Yakatori plate. The sauces on each are exceptional. That is the reason I have given it 4 stars. Service on the other hand is a 2. My biggest problem is one of the hostesses. She has been there during two of my visits and she is terrible. Left us sitting one time while others went ahead of us. The next time is too difficult to explain but just say she showed a lack of common sense and caring. However, I'm there for the food and will be returning. read more

The best sushi in Kentucky great place to eat great staff I would highly recommend it

This place is decent. However in my opinion it is way to high. I ordered off the kids menu and it was like $44. The food is good though and they have pretty good workers read more

Where do I start? The bartender insinuated that my date was drunk the moment we were seated. The server grabbed my plate as I was eating thus sticking his thumb in my salad. He Made me wait too long for a second drink. There's more, but it doesn't matter because I won't be going back. Food is hit or miss. Some was spoiled and some was fresh. read more

I'll start off by saying the smell of the place alone put us off from the get go. We stopped by for our first shoguns experience because they were offering 15% off through text message discounts. But a 15% discount on a $50 meal isn't much, especially when you can only purchase meals later in the day through combo meals or meal for twos. Unless you feel like dropping $20 on a disappointing plate of noodles with a side of chicken/beef/fish. Service from the start was awful, from standing awkwardly in front of servers at the counter for 5 minutes before being acknowledged, to waiting 15 minutes on someone take our orders. Needless to say, if I'm spending $50+ on a meal, I kind of expect on point server. Left without even getting a drink order taken. Cannot recommend Yamato's enough over this place. Maybe we will try the bowling green site, but as for now, not impressed. Not one bit. read more

Not the best food by far. Ordered a bento box, the chicken teriyaki was flavorless and the carrots were burnt. Way too much iceberg lettuce in the salad and the spring rolls were freezer burnt tasting. Truly dissatisfied because everyone that I've talked to that has eaten here say it's really good. Maybe they don't know what good Japanese food tastes like. Also for myself and my husband to eat two entrees with chicken and me with a water and him a coke was forty dollars. read more

I went to Shogun to celebrate my brothers graduation from college. Being that I don't usually care for Japanese food, I ordered the buffalo chicken tenders. However, when I received them, they were Asian BBQ flavored instead. I informed my waitress, and she stated that I was mistaken and refused to correct my order. I will not make the mistake of eating here again. read more

Placed order for delivery. I ordered a sushi roll that was incorrect when it arrived. The male who took my call when I called to inform them my order was incorrect proceeded to argue with me about what that particular roll contained even though read straight from their menu what it contained. He then said I was correct and that they could make the correct roll for me but I'd have to come and pick it up. I'm unable to pick it up and was offered no other solution other than, "Sorry." So I paid for an overpriced California roll. This location is always a disappointment. Will gladly drive to Bowling Green where we have never had an issue. read more

I took family visiting from out of state. Very dissapointed...had to send my steak back 23 min later I got my dinner after everyone was done with thier meal. I called shoguns the next day and not an apology. I then asked for the phone number to supervisor and was givin the wrong number. I called thr BG restarunt to get the.phone number...but was told there was no phone they can give out. I was told if I needed to talk to him I would have to go to the restauant and wait for him to stop in. REALLY BAD CUSTOMER SEVICE. read more

I am a hibachi snob so I am very picky. The salad had several wilted pieces of lettuce. Usually the salads are one of my favorite things about hibachi restaurants so that was a huge let down. The soup is okay. Not my favorite not my least favorite. The menus are extremely worn and mine was ripped all over. We chose to get a table and not go the whole hibachi route cause we like to eat all our food at once. Our waiter seemed like he wasn't all there but another waiter was absolutely amazing and was cleaning up and helping everyone else. Guy has only been there 2 weeks and was the best employee there by far. The food came. It looked great! My mahi mahi was sooo over seasoned I took one bite and that was it. It also smelled extremely fishy and tasted fishy :/ the chicken was good. I like how they give noodles and rice and large portions! Rice is pretty good. The veggies include potatoes.. weird.. very weird.. but not bad. Wish there weren't so many of them though. My husband got his steak med rare but it came out well done. He still enjoyed it. We tipped the other waiter since ours was barely there. read more

We eat at Shogun in Bowling Green quite often. On October 3,2018 we invited a couple from Glasgow to join us for dinner. We decided to eat at the Glasgow Shogun instead of Bowling Green, just because of the location of our friends. This was a very bad move!!!!! We waited 15 minutes to get a table because the girl was on her phone talking. I finally ask someone if we could be seated ( we were the only people waiting to be seated). After ordering our food, we waited 1hr.15min. Other than us, there were about 10 other people. They had all been served and part of them had already left and others were coming in. So, I ask our waitress if she could find out what was going on with our food!! She finally returned with the news, our tickets had been lost. She said that they were cooking it now. When we receive our food it was terrible!!!!!!!!!! Never at any time did we see a manager!!!!!! Our waitress said that she would discount the bill. That was a joke too. They took off $9.51. She ask us if we wanted to go boxes, instead of asking us what was wrong or why we didn't eat our food. Everyone ordered the same thing, the Shrimp and Chicken Dinner. My husband counted his shrimp, which was 5 and 3 very small pieces of chicken. We will never be back and we will definitely tell everyone not to waste their money there. Make the drive down to Bowling Green and eat. The food is great there and so is the service!!!!!!!!!! Stephanie Gibson read more

Love the food Lots of it-I had the steak/chicken fried rice. The hibachi is fun for the kids

We have eaten here 4 or 5 times & there is no consistency. Service is bad & food is hit or miss. Has a good atmosphere but that's about it.
