went to the bar and specifically ask the bartender to make my meal on the grille in the front. I specifically ask for the front because the grille in the back does not taste every well. no matter how many times I have came over the years the grille in the back is trash compared to the grille in the front. you can't communicate with the cook any extra seasoning and it always taste bland. so what does the bar tender do not listen and the food gets made in the back. so I leave my card ask to me checked out and I go to the bathroom. I come back see the bill open it see that there is no place for me to sign take my card and leave. when I'm leaving the parking lot I have the whole work force outside like i just stole their Christmas bonuses. I have to say something to them for them to tell me I didn't pay: I say my bad park my car and then pay. some bar back then wants to talk shiy like I ran out on the bill trash service all around. used to be VIP here this place went to hell. read more

We made reservations one week prior for today. When we got to the restaurant there was a note on the door saying that Shogun only has takeout services now due to Covid. I totally understand having to resort to take out only. What I don't understand is the fact that Shogun could not even be bothered to call us and let us know that our reservation had been canceled. We were celebrating an event with family and were very disappointed in their actions. Shame on you Shogun. read more

Our chef was brand new and he didn't fully perform an entire routine because he was still in training. So he used out table as practice and he did a great job. I love getting the new person for some reason and being a part of the training process. Maybe because I know it's hard and everyone has to learn somewhere. But even with that he did very well because he was funny and the food was absolutely delicious. Pricing was fair for the amount of food. I got the seafood combination and I was stuffed by the end. read more

Shogun Restaurant - The seafood is VERY fresh - Japanese Near Me - Temecula, California

Yum! Always a good time and our go to for special occasions. The fried rice is the best!

So amazing!! I have no idea what these other people are talking about. We had the most amazing meal. It was my husband's 52nd birthday and it was awesome. All of the staff was on point and bringing us our food. More than that our food was so flavorful and amazing. I highly recommend. Thanks read more

This place is a true 5 star. We visited recently to celebrate a birthday with the family. We made reservations in advance and we showed up we were immediately seated. The place is clean and bright! Very fun atmosphere. Our drinks and soup came quickly. The waitress was very prompt. The chef then showed up and put on a great show. The food was delicious. And the portions were huge. For the quality and quantity the prices were unbelievably good. We will be back soon. read more

I see mixed reviews for this place, but I really thought it was fantastic. I'm not sure what people expect when they visit a Tepanyaki restaurant, but it delivered on everything I expected. I do think they need to upgrade the air conditioning as it was pretty warm but it was a hot day and the heat coming from the table side cooking was around. Overall, great staff and food. I'll gladly come back. read more

I rarely leave reviews but after 10 yrs of experiencing 5 star service from accommodating all of my crazy food request to squeezing me on the grill last minute with no reservation multiple chefs in particular I would like to shoutout Jonathan and Brendan they both really give their all and make the food exactly to your liking Jonathan has consistently made the best buttery medium rare steak while Brendan just delivered the best fried rice I have ever eaten shout-out to Romeo as well one of the best efficient servers lastly the ladies at the front always kind and management always trying to improve the experience or rectify any shortcomings easily the best shogun and or teppan grill in so cal read more

Came here for the first time for the FirstTeam Holiday party. The service was great, the food was delicious and the ambiance was fun. I've already scheduled our second visit to celebrate my husband's birthday. read more

I was excited to come here for my birthday but I was very disappointed. I hadnt been to one of these type of resturants(Benihanna) in a long time. We drove 45 miles; Let's cut to the chase: 1) The guy who cut the food was boring. He did't even keep my son's attention who has down syndrom and loves this kind of stuff. My aunt was more excited to look at the other guys having fun at his table. The best thing he could so was flip an egg shell on his head and make a pac man out of rice? 2) The food was expensive and not that great; It was as good as the $7 food I could get in the Cerritos Mall. I think the terryaki chicken from the Cerritos mall is better. He was probably recruited from one of those places; Total price around $260 for 9 people; He was also using his cell phone while waiting for the waiter to be found. 2) The waitier was awol. If you're work there and wondering who it was- it was the white girl. She kept disapearing and we kept having to ask people to find her! For a long time after he cooked the vegetables, we were waiting for the white rice so we could start eating. My soda ran out; My water ran out. We had to keep asking people to get her back to our table. If we didn't have 9 people then I would not have left a tip; 3) I keep thinking how we should of ate at the mall and spent the other $200 on the movies; This was just bad and disrespectiful. It was just a job for them. 4) The birthday song sucked. The family couldn't notify the waiter it was my birthday because she wasnt coming around; Once we finally caught her and she came by to sing happy birthday, my wife was so upset! It was over before my wife could even click photo and start record on her Iphone; It was like they couldnt be bothered. I can not recommend this resturant because the entertainment is a dice roll; You may get someone boring. The food isnt better than mall food. The taste was the same and wasn't worty of the $25-35 per plate price tag; I didn't like much about it besides the name; I'm so sad that I will not be going to the one in my city; read more

The service was great. The hostess even brought out anniversary ice cream for my wife and I and a couple we were with who are also celebrating their anniversary same day.. The cool was great. talented. The food is also very tasty. They give free fried rice with our orders. He better have a big appetite when you go in there cause it's a lot of food. read more

There was a manger there, I think named Joe? He was very rude towards his own staff and yelled at them even if they did nothing wrong. It put a bad taste in my mouth, even though the food itself was good. read more

This place is great for groups! Celebrated my aunts birthday here! There is something for everyone ! Great combination meals! They have teppanyaki and hot pot! Service was great ! Fun place to go eat ! read more

I have been to a teppanyaki place before but never been to Shogun specifically. I think I have had better than this. I had their sesame chicken,and i think it was a bit to dry. My food was cooked in the kitchen since I ordered later than when the people in my table had ordered. I did try the ribeye steak and I liked it a lot better. My veggies were filled with onions more than the bell peppers. the miso soup wasn't good either. The salad however was really good. I think this place is just okay for me. Benihana definitely tops this read more

We love it here! We go at-least once a week. Food is great! Service is great! Especially Ivy!!! She is always pleasant and helpful!! Love it here. read more

Hhmmmm... the food is amazing, and the service is mostly great. However, I went there to celebrate a friends birthday on 3/2. We sat in the dinning room next to the bar and We ordered sushi and some drinks. The server named Michelle never came to check on us, so we had to ask another server for help and to inquire about our sushi. Finally after 45-50 minutes after our cooked food arrived is when the sushi got to the table and shortly after puff.. there comes Michelle. She asked about our food and we expressed our frustration on the lateness of the sushi.. and she had the audacity to ask what we wanted her to do about it. With complete attitude and disregard to customer service.. Michelle needs extensive training or motivation to find a new job!!. read more

Had the best chef Brendan! Would absolutely recommend him everytime! The food was quick and delicious and as a needy costumer he made sure we had all our sauces! read more

Very weird experience. I ordered shrimp fried rice and they brought me chicken fried rice instead. When I brought it to their attention they took the dish back and pretended to remake it. They brought out the same dish of chicken fried rice but put 4 pieces of shrimp on top. When I brought it to their attention that there was still chicken in the rice they said that all of their rice comes with chicken in it. This was a complete lie and they were just trying to get out of remaking the rice. They showed no remorse for getting the order wrong and they really tried to convince me that all of the rice came with chicken instead of just admitting to their mistake and making the dish over. read more

Great food and service. Had a group of 9 with a reservation and table was ready. The hibachi chef did a nice job and very entertaining. Great way to spend a birthday read more

Came here on Wednesday night for a friend's birthday dinner with a party of 10. As this was my first time coming to a Shogun, I couldn't help but notice how reminiscent it was of Benihana, lots of parallels to it. To keep this concise, let's get down to the nitty gritty: Service was good, chef did his thing and had some dope teppan tricks, as did the servers, they kept our drinks filled and removed our plates accordingly, I like that. Quality of the food was pretty good minus the few undesirable chunks of fat my rib eye steak had, other than that, no complaints. Ambiance, like I said, was reminiscent of Benihana, sans the complimentary picture at Beni. Verdict: A slightly more affordable version of Benihana with similar quality. A 3.5/5, I fw it. read more

i love shogun the food is amazing and i think the fried rice is the best dish right next to the steak.

Ordered some dinner tonight, seafood combo and a 12oz ribeye dinner. The food is horrible. Absolutely no flavor ok the steak. Overcooked veggies.. The soups are nasty. Overall a bad experience. Definitely won't be back.. Especially paying $35, per meal.. $72 and I'd have rather went to McDonald's... Oh and the portions are horribly small on the seafood platter.. 3 shrimp.. 3 scallops and a small piece of salmon read more

Holy crap!! The review I want to write would be so long that I am just not motivated. Please be warned. $200 down the drain on steak, lobster and shrimp that was completely burnt. I'm in disgust. I will never come here again. read more

We ordered ribeye, filet mignon, shrimp and scallops. It was all amazing!! Romeo went over and beyond with his customer service. Our cook did cute tricks for us. Definitely coming back read more

Always a good time here. Just keep in mind that' you'll be sitting for about 2 hours.

Food is sub par and overpriced. I've been here twice. The first time It was actually good albeit not fantastic. After my last visit I won't be going back. My New York Steak came out cold but I ate it anyway because I was with a friend and I had already caused enough trouble sending seared albacore back which was supposed to be sashimi. The brown rice was completely undercooked and hard to chew. The vegetables were basically burned. I ordered sashimi and it came out to the table as seared albacore drenched in ponzu sauce. I was not given a dish for soy sauce and there was no Wasabi on the plate as well. The onion soup that came with the meal was terrible. had dried prepackaged crunchy onions in it. I couldn't eat it. The servers and Hostess were really great but as far as the food goes steer clear. It was just one of those restaurants where you walk out 60 bucks poorer and extremely disappointed. read more

We went for lunch today, the food and service were outstanding. Even at lunch the portions are huge. I got the seared salmon roll UMM! I also got the ribeye and grilled shrimp, and of course the fried rice is to die for. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Few opportunities for me to have Asian cuisine so when the opportunity presents itself, I jump at the chance. Since we were celebrating a birthday, this was the time to visit. Our chef (Jorge) put on an excellent show and the food was delicious. We had the Spicy Chicken entree (hibachi chicken breast, fried rice, vegetables, shrimp, miso soup and salad). Overall, definitely a place to visit when in town. read more

See all

I ordered shogun for pick up and they forgot one of my meals so I waited an additional 20 minutes so they can prep, then they gave me all my meals and not until I got home that i realized that they forgot all the sides on my son's meal.( birthday boy ) I called them and they wouldn't come drop off the missing sides and was told to call manager next day for refund. Manager gave me refund for the sides only, she should have given me a full refund. My son did eat the meat alone and it's not the same. It ruined his meal. WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN FOR PICK UP!! read more

Food is always good. My husband ordered filet mignon and I ordered rib eye steak. We preferred the rib eye as it was more tender and better flavor. read more

5 stars to Brendan! Gave us a great experience and was funny! Will definitely come back again, especially with him!

I love shogun and the food they have to offer. Went for my birthday and it seemed to be everyone's birthday which made the ambiance fun and enjoyable. read more

How the pretty good have fallen! This used to be pretty good. Not excellent, Temecula-good. Not any more. Last visit was baaad. - salad dressing had bitter weird taste. I asked and she said "it's a ginger dressing." I know ginger, that ain't ginger. It was so bad I almost spit it out. Bitter, flat taste. - pan-fried gyoza were pan-steamed-barely. I get that gyoza wrappers are usually thinner than pot sticker wrappers. But these were just steamed and fell apart because (if nothing else) there was no indication that they had touched a pan. Just steamed, no crispy part. - nigiri sushi fail. The fish had decent taste and cut, but very small. And they made up for that with extra rice. Like 50% more than normal. And the rice was barely sushi rice. No taste, no stickiness. And the spider roll had so much filling I had to look and see if there was any crab in it. And the unagi was just laying on the rice, not seaweed-tied to it. Oh and no sushi order form with menu. And none on offer. She just wanted and took my order verbally. Ok, just not what I expect. I also find their wasabi paste to be weak. But there is a range on that anyways so I don't totally hate them for that. On the plus side, the service was ok. They were attentive and definitely working hard. We've been coming here for years and it's been slowly losing me. Now gone! There are other nearby sushi/Japanese restaurants that are newer and more committed to earning my business through great food. read more

I luv Shogun it's always entertaining and a good time. They just need to make sure they can accommodate the customers on the weekends.

WAY overpriced. My teenaged son's dinner was inedible and he's not a picky eater. Our "chef" dropped his knives during the show. He had his tip jar prominently displayed with one $20 in it. We reeked of burnt oil when we left. One and done; will never go back. read more

The food and service is great. My only complain is it was like 100 degrees in there. Sweating and trying to eat dinner was a challenge. Get some solar and crank up the AC for your customers!!!! read more

Worst service On Mother's Day told us we can walk in without reservation then when we came in they told us we can not be seated after a half an hour drive Ridiculous read more

Came to celebrate my grandfather's 90th birthday with my family of 13! Our party was spilt, and it was awesome to see my family's reactions to the show. My grandparents looked like they enjoyed it a lot! My grandpa finished all his food! The food was delicious!! I was surprised that it was pretty good! We got an order of spicy tuna crispy rice and it was bomb too. I ordered the maitai... you can tell that it's cheap liquor, but all in all we had a great time. read more

The food was very yummy. However the chef we got was newer and you could definitely tell in the way that he cut up the food and cooked it. Our eggs were a bit burnt. But it was still good. The servers were very nice. But the people sitting us were a bit distracted. As we walked in they said they didn't have a table for us and that they would sit us at 7:00 when it was already 7:00 lol. Overall good food. read more
