When people ask me to flex, I just pretend I work at Sho-guns. But this is unrelated. This is one of those hyper westernized all American sushi hibachi places, with all the fanfare of a suburban sanitized experience. The food tastes good, the prices are high, the key is the experience. I don't like these massive corporate chains, and I don't love this kind of sushi either. I like mine from a back alley, freshly chopped by some person that really knows it and puts their heart into it. Anyway, for the experience, I give a 3 as usual. This is one of 2 Shoguns I've been to in HTX area and it's better than the other. read more

This review is not about the food. I was not about to risk getting food poisoning at this place, so this review will be short and sweet. We walked in, and I was willing to give it a try. The first thing that hit me was how dark and dingy it was. Then I was hit with a terrible smell--the restaurant just didn't smell clean. We reluctantly sat down, and before the waiter could leave with the water, we left, thanks to my fellow Yelpers! I saw several photos of roaches and video evidence. That was enough for me to walk out. On my way out, I happened to glance at the floor and saw a huge DEAD ROACH in the corner! Go ahead and cross this place off the list! If they're bold enough not to clean up a dead roach in the corner, imagine what else we don't see. Don't eat here. read more

Horrible. All I have to say is there are ROACHES. Crawling all around the table I ain't even get to order I got up and left absolutely disgusting. read more

So disgusting roaches running everywhere and under plates this place was so dirty and food sucks

I just moved from around the corner of the Katy location (the best one) to south Houston. I tried out the Pearland location for a second time since it was closer, as the first experience was underwhelming 2 years ago. Should've never circled back! On top of the rude white waitress, them opening 3 hours late --that they blamed it on a schedule mix up, I got VERY BAD FOOD POISONING !! I think it was from either the shrimp or filet mignon. Both my friend & I who went were sick. And yes, I'm SURE it was from there bc I ate 2 pieces of chicken later with 5 friends & no one else got sick. 5 days later I come back to the area & pass by, the doors were locked at 6:30pm & all the sign were off the doors except their B rating . read more

The environment was nice!! Our waiter was charismatic and energetic, getting my kids engaged in their meal and drink options. However, once we received our spring roll appetizers it was downhill from there. The outside was crispy but the inside was mushy. We received our deluxe sushi order and I couldn't swallow it. The sushi was not fresh and tasted spoiled and nasty. We returned it and were only able to eat at the yakisoba noodles, mostly because the kids were so hungry and it didn't taste foul. The noodles had chicken and a few pieces of shrimp, even though we didn't order shrimp. Grateful no one was allergic to seafood!! This was a horrible experience!! I'll never return!! read more

Food nasty, restaurant dirty! Service not good! Don't know how the got a B rating it should be a F

Extremely disappointed with service- there was only us up front and one table on back with some to go orders being prepared. The taste of the food was bland; sushi did not seem fresh, table was sticky- had to get up a couple times get napkins to wipe off table and use when we ate, move the menus we were not using. Iced tea had tea granules in the bottom, new tea was in fact made. We had not come to this location in years due to awful service --we attempted to try it again and will not be returning.

It pains me to write this, as I've enjoyed dining here a few times and usually they don't disappoint. Unfortunately, today I received mushy shrimp fried rice and crab puffs that tasted as though they were fried in burnt oil. I also waited a long time for my order, despite calling ahead, and had to tell two different staff members what I was waiting on. I tried calling to resolve the issue, but the phone kept going to voicemail. I'm not sure what went wrong today, but I hope they get things back on track. I'm still open to giving them another chance because everyone has off days; however, I'll probably wait a while before returning. I should at least mention that the food was served hot and ambiance was nice. read more

Food was great, the guy who cooked for us was great. The waiter was barely there. She showed up twice. But because I didn't leave any tip, she waited for me to come out of the bathroom and then confronted me that I didn't leave any tip. She got mad at her and told me to leave her a tip. THIS IS NOT PROFESSIONAL. So dissapointed!!!! read more

The hibachi, demonstration is very entertaining and that's what made the food good. The hibachi table added a little twist to the dinner. You would need to get there early on the weekend mainly Sundays. The shrimp were big and fresh. The salmon was a nice size and well seasoned. The filet mignon melt in your mouth. It was worth the money, read more

My first time at this restaurant and I loved it. I chose the hibachi option and the food was good and fresh. Definitely will return.

This restaurant is infested with roaches, my family and I went for a birthday dinner. Before we were serve one of my family members had a fly on her plate. Then a small roach was crawling on the grill. We got up and left. They need to do a deep clean at this restaurant. read more

Not sure about the food but the roaches at the table greeted me before the waiter lol. Left immediately

A great overall experience for my family. For the price you can't go wrong. There are several Grills In the area but for us we had a great time. Food was yummy. What wasn't to love? Got seated pretty fast for a party of 15. Very accommodating. read more

The sushi here isn't bad but not great. I've also experienced the hibachi dinner which was fun. Overall, this place isn't too busy so there isn't a long wait but the food is just descent. The servers are nice. read more

This restaurant needs to be shut down for a thorough cleaning. The hibachi area was filthy and the floors were greasy. The chairs haven't been cleaned in years. The grill area still had leftover food from the previous cook. The men's bathroom smelled like urine and needed a top to bottom scrubbing. We won't be coming back. read more

I've tried this place before and wasn't impressed but tonight's experience changed my mind. They gave me a huge lemon slice for my water which was much appreciated! We started with the gyoza, it was average tbh We ordered the boat and it did not disappoint. The chefs prepared it fairly quick despite the restaurant being busy for dinner. The sashimi slices were thick and cold. The nigiri and both rolls were good too. It says this feeds 3 but the two of us had a big appetite tonight. Totally worth the $ because unlike other places they give you a full selection instead of loading the boat with only salmon and tuna. Our waiter was friendly and attentive so we will definitely be back read more

Shogun - a wooden boat filled with sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Shogun is one of two hibachi/teppanyaki/sushi spots in the Pearland area. It anchors one end of the Pearland Town Center. Their advantage is they have parking in the front as well as in the back. My family and I usually come through for atleast one birthday gathering a year. We always call ahead because we roll kind of deep and we want to make sure we have a grill to ourselves. Even when the restaurant doesn't look too busy, we always seem to have to wait to be seated. Other than that, the staff is friendly and the hibachi chefs are always a good time. I can only remember maybe one time where I have ordered a roll or something other than the hibachi. The hibachi experience is always fun. At this point, I'm sure I've seen all the showmanship and funny antics, but I enjoy it every time. The food is cooked right in front of you and always tastes the same. It's not out of this world, delicious food, but it is good. You come to places like this for the experience more than the food. Overall, my family and I always leave happy and I'm sure we will be back at some point. read more

I love this place Best food ever. Since covid the crowd has been pretty well controlled and everyone is wearing a mask. We went on a Sunday around 5pm and were seated immediately. We did sit at a grill with another group but with social distancing. read more

Roach InfestatioThe restaurant was dirty with food all over the floor . Cook seemed uneasy while sweat was dripping into food . While waiting for the complete preparation of our meal a roach with an egg ran across the plates and table !!! The owner tried offering 10% off of ,but at this point no one wanted to complete their meal . After, further review we discovered this has been an ongoing problem . The restaurant needs to be shut down until it is properly accessible for service .. read more

Found this in my water. It was attached to the ice, which makes me assume they don't clean there ice maker. Ambiance is not the best. Wouldn't come here again. read more

It pains me to write this because my granddaughter and I love the food. We were there on 3/18/2025 and I noticed something crawling, the owner (I guess) came over and killed it with his bare hand. I didn't really get to see what kind of bug it was but no more than five minutes later another one appeared, I was sure this time it was a roach. The gentleman killed the roach and offered me 10% off my bill. I will never eat there again, I've had food poisoning before and trust me it's the sickest I've ever been. I'm seriously thinking about calling the health department. read more

Okay so I looked at the Yelp reviews ahead of time, but I let my husband take the lead bc he looked at the Google reviews Long story short Yelp is more efficient! So we came in for my daughter's birthday and we were initially sat right across from a groups leftovers/trash. We asked to move, there was no one else in the hibachi room at the time but us. We moved to another section and asked for 2 booster seats for our toddlers and they were sticky! Even adjusting the chairs they were sticky as well Francisco our chef was great personality wise, but honestly the food was just okay... it wasn't seasoned very well. Lastly, both restrooms smelled of urine so bad... like unbearably. It wasn't the experience we were looking for, but you live and you learn. Won't be back. read more

The employees are not wearing masks. It was very slow when I went, so my party was able to sit wherever we wanted. Our server was nice; he engaged us with small talk. There was a lady on the floor who made sure our waters stayed full and cleared our table for us. The food is also good here. I think our server was also serving the hibachi table, but we were waiting forever for our checks. They're also reasonable priced here. read more

Did not know if I wanted to post this or not.. but when i was there on March 10th, around 8pm we were handed soy sauce and while we were pouring it, we saw baby roaches in the soy sauce. We told the waiter about it and he apologized and gave us another soy sauce bottle. We poured it out on the dish and there was STILL baby roaches but this time on the soy sauce plate. We told him again and he apologized and he gave us a new one but we just didn't want to use the soy sauce at all. The owner apologized with the most fake asian accent ever. A few min later he walked with a customer with perfect English. We wished we should've left.. the food was not good ;/ I was there with two other people, if one of them didn't say anything we would've been eating roaches. read more

excellent food - best sized portions and amazing service tonight. would not have changed a single thing!

I love this place.. The flavor of the Shrimp Fried Rice is really good! I wish they would bring back the chili oil seasoning.. i love that on my fried rice. Oh, the Sushi, always fresh.. my husband doesn't like raw but I was able to convince him to try it and he said it wasn't too bad lol. (that's a 5 star for him lol) I've been going to ShoGun for years and I haven't had one bad thing to say about them. They are very consistent, the servers are pleasant and willing to try to resolve any issues. It's great for a date night. They cozy booths with high backs. It feels like it's just you and yours in the room sometimes. read more

If you have any concerns about covid or general cleanliness this is not the place to be. My bf and I popped in last night for a quick drink and appetizer while we awaited a call back from a restaurant that'd waitlisted us. We sat down at the bar and someone's dirty dishes and used mask were sitting within inches from us. We look up and the guy behind the bar (I think the owner or manager) was not wearing a mask at all and didn't seem to give a care in the world about it. He proceeded to walk all around the restaurant laughing and chatting up customers, all while, maskless. When he came back to the bar, my bf called him out on it and he said he couldn't breath with the mask on and further droned on with a horrible excuse for not wearing it. News flash sir, we all have trouble breathing with these things on but the rest of us do our part and just wear them, especially those working in a restaurant around people and more-so someone who appears to be a manager or owner of a dining establishment. He eventually put his mask back on reluctantly, mostly leaving his nose out when he thought we weren't looking. My bf and I ended up getting a call from the restaurant we were waiting on before our sushi roll app was ready so we finished our drinks and cancelled the roll. Probably best we got on out of that place sooner anyway. Such a shame for a restaurant to be in such a great location but to have such a major flaw. On a brighter note, other than the maskless manager the rest of the staff kept their masks on at all times and provided stellar customer service. The coke I drank was also very good. Sadly, I couldn't help but wonder how clean the fountain machine was given that the manager didn't even care to keep his mask on during a pandemic. read more

My favorite thing to get to go is the combination fried rice. It's so filling and they give you large portions. The service is kinda ehhh because of the language barrier.

Shogun - Comb Fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pearland, Texas

This is not a great impression of hibachi. The chefs are a hit or miss and all are not created equally. I recommend you go to Benihana to get a real hibachi taste and experience. My mom and I came in during lunch on a Monday and it was pretty much dead. The chef came out and was not making any great initial impressions. I felt as if the food was cooked in a hurry. This man almost walked off without cooking my yakisoba. Also as many other reviews say this food is very bland and the chicken is dry af. The sauce is not thick enough so it doesn't stick to the chicken, veggies, or beef. The best part of the lunch was the yakisoba and shrimp and soup entree. These were the tastiest items I received. I recommend only getting the shrimp or salmon as I've had both and they were the best of all the dinner combos. The yakisoba is better than the fried rice imo. Happy eats! read more

Shogun - Combo fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pearland, Texas

I like the hibachi grill itself more than I like the food. I ordered the chicken tepanyaki with fried rice and noodles. The chicken was a little dry and bland. The rice was okay but the veggies were the best of all. Well the hibachi cook threw in a couple of shrimp and they were really good. Before the entree, onion soup and salad is served. The soup is tasty but I don't eat the salad because it's basically just lettuce with salad dressing and I don't eat lettuce. read more

We had a party of 11 eat at this location Saturday night. We arrived around 9:30 and went straight to the hibachi. Their were 2 other hibachi tables there as well. We should have left when we walked in. The floors were filthy with food and paper napkins. The hibachi had rice and oil smeared across the granite and pieces of food in the cracks were the table and hibachi meet. It looked bad, like there had been no deep cleaning maintenance for quite some time be use of the build up of the food. I'm not going to keep going on about how bad everything was at this establishment...from the filthiness to those in my party not eating their food because of the quality...it was one of the most disgusting restaurants I've walked into. Do not eat here! read more

I don't even want to give this place 1 star. We spent over a $100 on sushi here. 3 out of the 6 rolls had avocado in them. Halfway into eating, we realized the avocado was completely rotten, black and inedible. We called the restaurant to complain and he said "it was just eel sauce making it look black or that the other warm parts of the roll caused the color change". We've eaten avocado containing rolls many times and NEVER had this issue. He then asked me to send pictures as proof- when he called back , he continued to defend that they would "never carry spoiled ingredients " and that the black avocado was out of his hands. He defended his restaurant for over 10 minutes and said we could send more pictures of evidence of the food for him to show the main chef. He offered $10 "to cover the cost of the avocado", stating that because the other fish ingredients were fine he would not reimburse that. Mind you the cost of these 3 rolls was $40! When I asked if he expected customers to remove spoiled ingredients from their rolls and continue eating , he had no response. If I didn't have 2 young children at home I would've gone right there with the disgusting rolls to demand my money back but was unable to. Very disappointed in how they handled this situation and will never be returning again . read more
