My family and I love this restaurant! We have eaten here many times and we're always happy with the food and service we receive. We've tried a lot of the rolls and they are so good and filling. read more

I had the worst tempora I have ever eaten. The batter on the outside fell off and the vegetables were crunchy.

Giving Shogun's a one star review is a compliment to the service they provide, and the quality of food served. I have worked here for 2 days, and by the 2nd day I quit mid shift. Due to the owner; Alex, constantly degrading and antagonizing the customers AND employee's. The way he runs this place is a joke. I came in to get my paycheck for the two days that I have worked, and Alex refused to give it to me, leaving me to threaten to take him to small claims court over the measly $72. After much commotion, his wife (sweet lady) finally stepped in and agreed to pay me the hours that I have worked. On my 2nd day that I have worked for this establishment I've seen how Alex treats his customers, and I can honestly say it is a joke. A reoccurring customer complained about the Volcano Roll having too much sauce (it was CLEARLY drenched in sauce), and instead of making the customers a new roll, Alex went ahead and yelled at them stating that "I don't care about the customers, just come, pay and leave". I felt embarrassed, and had to apologize on Alex's behalf on how big of a scene he made out of it. The customer then went on stating that they have been to this establishment NUMEROUS times, and that Shogun's has lost a very valuable and loyal customer; which I am not at all surprised. Another note is that Alex does not provide hand towels to dry the employee hands, so instead employee's would either 1. use a dirty rag to dry our wet hands 2. dry it on our dirty clothes. This place is unsanitary and a disgrace to the restaurant industry!!! I've went out of my way to make a yelp account, and warn ongoing customers to stay away from this place! All of the reviews stating that this place is terrible, is VERY true, please eat at your own risk. read more

I regret ever working here, even my other friend that was a waitress here quit ! even my buddy (male) thats currently working here wants to quit ! you wonder why you dont see any female waitresses here its because we all hate that old B$#^& and her sorry excuse for a husband ! She hates any female that tried to work there and she will do anything to give you a hard time - as for Alex he will only give you good service if you have light colored skin, look rich, or come in a small group that old mean lady is the worst , one time she was argueing and yelling at a couple in the middle of the restaurant and continue to yell at them in parking lot as they left ..when her husband came back she had the nerve to say i was the one that argued with the couple that just left WTF !!! not only that she would not let you keep your tip and demands that you give it to her ...she will find anything to complain about - NOT ONLY THAT THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR EVERYTHING EVEN WHEN ITS SUPPOSE TO BE FREE/COMPLIMENTARY ?! she writes in scribble so that you can barely read your reciept - she will charge for any extra lemon slice water sirracha salad dressing tempura sauce chopstix and more !!! you dont wanto know what happens in the back kitchen ...its filty and disgusting!!! the deep fryer was messier then the ones you have a mcdonalds fried tepura scraps allover hte ground and sink!!! the salad you are eating has been sitting in the fridge for who knows how long the only way they hide the wilting lettuce is by drowning it in salad dressing - I swear every single cook that works in the back kitchen is not ASAIN - yet we have the only asian guy making sushi in the front cups are dumped into the sink rinsed without shampoo and then dried to be used again .. and the tea that you get is also reused ive seen her do this a couple of time she takes it from an old teapot and just pour hot boiling water in it and serve IF YOU WANTO BE OVER CHARGED FOR SOMTHING YOU DIDNT ORDER OR FOR JUST ASKING FOR A LIL EXTRA WATER OR CONDIMENTS COME HERE ! read more

Though the food is somewhat decent and the prices are affordable, I refuse to patron this restaurant again. I had been to Shogun a number of times with mediocre service, but the last time I had eaten there literally took the (fish)cake. And not in a good way. Back in August, my boyfriend at the time and I decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. I ordered the bento box with chicken katsu and tempura. He ordered the sashimi meal which was listed at about $12.95. I believe my bento box was priced anywhere between $9.95 and $11.95. When we received our bill, the total was close to $35 which didn't seem right. Upon further inspection, we noticed that we had been charged the dinner price for the sashimi meal which was a $17.95. Okay, this could have been an honest mistake, right? When we walked up to the front to pay for our bill, the owner or owner's wife was working on some bookkeeping. My ex-boyfriend then simply said "Um excuse me, there is a ...." And before he could even finish his sentence, she snatched the bill from his hand and said "Oh yes yes, you're right. I'm sorry about that." And then corrected our bill and gave us the right total. How could she have known what he was going to say? She must be a Japanese restaurant owner by day and mind reader by night! Uh I think not. I don't appreciate business owners who take advantage of customers. More importantly, I don't appreciate people who think they can play me for a fool. Only 1 Star for said reasons and because there isn't a 0 Star rating. But if there were... boy if there were... *tsk tsk, shakes head.* read more

Behind every small business, there is a story worth knowing. This small sushi restaurant in Stockton, CA has been around and seen it all. The booming economy of the 90's to the housing bubble crash of the 2000's and now, the financial fallout that affects a bankrupted city. But the owners of this Japanese restaurant still open their doors 7 days a week, work tirelessly to serve up good food, and extend their superb customer service as they always have. Of all of the restaurants I've frequented during my time in college, none have ever been so courteous and personable as this one. From making a distinct, custom roll that the chef knew from memory just for my vegetarian roommate every time we visited, to the complimentary sake bombs that we got every time we came in on a Sunday night, this place has been as near and dear to my heart as my college experience was. Day in & day out, the owners of the restaurant would take our order with a smile on their face despite us coming in every now to notice that we were the only customers that they had for the night. The food, while still decent, always tasted like they tried a little harder to please us, maybe to get a better tip, or maybe for us to come back again sooner. But regardless of their intention, I believe that the owners of Shogun display a kind of perpetual optimism that a lot of small, struggling businesses lack. From my experience, businesses near their end cut corners and discount customer service, losing their loyal patrons. They forget to remember that those very loyal customers were the ones not only willing to support them, but to also spread the good word about their business wherever they could. And that, to me, is exactly why I want this restaurant to succeed. They haven't changed a bit regardless of how much the landscape has change. They haven't stopped trying to be the best that they can be even though their business has slowed. And most importantly, they haven't lost sight of what they stand to lose most during their tough economic times and that is, the customer. read more

Well - you see- I want to write a good review because the owners seem like good people... BUT I ate there last night - and... afterwards my bowel movements were so powerful that they HURT. Something is wrong with their fish!!! I mean, I could tell when I was eating that spicy tuna roll - that something was off. It had the worst mushy texture and the flavor didn't quite sit right. I was so hungry though, that I just doused it in soy sauce to cover up whatever that nasty taste was - BAD IDEA!! I was nursing my tummy as I sat on the shitter that night... HAHA.. so sad... I will say that their cooked food seems to be OK. Their rolls are definitely below standard - mediocre at best. DEFINITELY DO NOT GET ANY RAW FISH THERE!.. good luck if you do!! *** Side note: My friend witnessed 2 kids trying to dine and ditch. Unfortunately 1 of them could not run fast enough as the OWNER literally chased him down!! The cops and everything came and then his friend came back to "pay"... who then also was arrested.. HAHA If you're going to dine and ditch - do not do it here!! read more

We came during the happy hour, where they offer some appetizers for a couple dollars cheaper, and it was alright. The food was okay, and is around $10 a person. Overall it's nothing special but is open when others aren't which is why we came here rather than Shomi. It is very open spaced and modern looking compared to Shomi however. read more

Made a pick up order around 9:10pm. It doesn't matter what time the order is made but the quality should always be on point. They was skimpy on the sauce and my roll was misshaped.

Shogun - Never again. Horrible. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stockton, California

Food is always amazing here and we've been here multiple times and never had any problem however after how the owner treated us yesterday we will not be returning! Apparently there is a minimum of $8 worth of food per person u have to order and that if u only Order one roll a miso and gyoza he tells u that this place is not McDonalds it's a restaurant! I have never been so embarrassed or degraded before if I'm not that hungry I shouldn't have to order more than I want! After he continued to talk shit to us and kept giving us evil looks and yelling and complaining to the other employees making us not even want to eat there or eat our food! I went to pay and was polite and said thanks and noticed He also charged me a sitting fee and don't even acknowledge me took my card and rolled his eyes I will not be back here after that! Food is good owner is rude! read more

Went here years ago and the owner made such a rude comment to me that I didn't come back until a year later because it was a place some of my friends liked to go to. Tonight, I went to have dinner with a few friends and the customer service was so bad... I will never go back! Both the man and women who served us, who I assume are the owners, obviously do not know how to treat customers who choose to come to their establishment. The lady who served us greeted us with an annoyed expression, gave us a hard time when we asked about split checks, completely ignored us for the majority of the night and when I flagged her down to ask where our appetizer was, she walked away and stated, ''it's coming... It takes time to make!'' Mind you, all of our main dishes were out already. What is the point of a appetizer anyways? When it came paying the bill, the man told me each small to go box would be $1 charge because the government charges him, so therefore he had to charge his customers. My friend tried to pay with her visa/debut card, and he said they only take credit when clearly signs are up suggesting they take both debit and credit. The food is not substantial enough to make up for the horrible management! There are far too many great sushi restaurants with delicious food and amazing service to be going to this one! read more

Tonight I had the greatest sushi of my entire life and my friend agrees. We left the restaurant over an hour ago and cannot stop raving about it. My friend had his birthday today so he suggested going to Shogun, a little hole in the wall that we have been scoping for the better part of the year. I didn't really feel like having sushi but he talked me into it. Sushi, saki and beer I was promised. I caved. Entering the establishment it was decorated nice with the usual traditional Japanese decor, tables were nice and clean. There wasn't a dirty dish or table in the house and compared to other sushi places this impressed me. We were seated right away and given menus to peruse and about the time that we made a decision on drinks we had them ordered and on the way. I am a stickler for when my drinks get served to my table so it was refreshing that we had them within three minutes of ordering them. The saki was hot as magma and the beer perfectly chilled to our liking. As we were enjoying our drinks our server was kind enough to take our orders: a total of four rolls between the two of us. Having been to numerous sushi restaurants, in Nor Cal and in So Cal, it was a little disheartening to see that the menu was a typical sushi restaurant offering. I ordered the Volcano Roll and the Spicy Salmon roll. My compatriot had the Hawaiin-Maki and the California Roll. I was expecting mediocrity, even though I had no preconceptions to how their rolls would turn out. I guess that makes me a cynical sushi enthusiast but I digress. The seemingly fleeting time between ordering our rolls and being served really impressed me. My compatriot took the first bite, having been impressed by the presentation of my Spicy Salmon Rolls and devoured the entire bite in one mouthful. The expression on his face, a most unusal site, was one of great delectation. "That is the best tasting salmon I have ever tasted" is what was whispered to me. I had to taste the Hawaiin-Maki and my mouth watered as I delectably enveloped the roll into my mouth: one of the greatest rolls and combinations of flavors I have ever had in my entire life. My friend and I tried all of the rolls on the table, much to our delight. My Spicy Salmon Rolls had the freshest cucumber, salmon and a spicy topping of sauce. My Volcano Roll was presented in actual Volcano form with what seemed to be fresh crab inside and the most impressive presentation and implementation of the dish that I have ever seen and tasted. The other rolls I could go into details about but I want to keep this review quasi-long, not Avengers long. After we had finished our second hot saki and beers, we were greeted by Alex. I am assuming he is the manager/owner just because of how much attention he gave to us. When I mentioned passingly that my meal was the best I have ever tasted, he made it a point to come back to our table and check on us. We must have looked like right idiots with giant grins on our faces because he came back and hooked us up with drinks, not once but twice, and even took a shot of hot saki with us. By the time we were actually full and we had finished the drinks we had spent an extra fourty-five minutes enjoying the service and hospitality. I have won Customer Service of the year before, twice even, and Alex had made me feel like I was underserving of my honors. We left with full stomachs and spent a decent amount of money (the amount which will never be disclosed to my birthday friend) and received a send off from Alex running out to my car. He thanked us for the hundreth time and his gratitude was so genuine that it made me want to go inside for another round of saki and beer just to have another drink with him. I have never been treated with such gratitude and attentiveness in my entire life. The entire experience from Shogun will stick with me for the rest of my life and will challenge me to treat people with the same respect and honor that we received this day. I wish everyone could have the meal and experience we received tonight: it would benefit Stockton businesses to pop-in and see how a REAL restaraunt is run. Aregatou. read more

Literally the WORST sushi place ever, under the worst management! I will never go here again. The place is outdated, & the food not worth the rude service of the OWNER, mind you! Shrimp was stale & roll was tasteless. Poor quality fish. P.s- read an article from the stockton health department that the chef didn't use soap when washing their hands Disgusting. read more

I used to love going to this restaurant with my family and friends a few years ago. The rolls were so flavorful. My favorite was the volcano roll. I went here with my family last night and ordered that roll, the Tokyo roll, and tempura. The portions were significantly smaller than I remember them being in 2015. The volcano roll did not taste the same. Actually, I wouldn't even say it tasted good at all. The Tokyo roll was decent, but it wasn't as flavorful as it could have been. I'm giving this restaurant one star because we went here around 7:45pm. We left around 8:45pm. Around 11:30pm I became very ill. I hadn't eaten anything after going to the restaurant. I definitely got food poisoning somehow from there. Not surprising because when we got there the chefs had been working on a large order. I don't know how long raw fish can sit out, but they definitely had someone's order sitting open on the counter for a very long time. I will not be going back. read more

I've been coming since high school and the service has gone from bad to why do I even bother .... I guess the nostalgia of my family dinners when I was younger but after today, I will never return. The service has always been terrible. Today I ordered some really bad tasting fish and asked if I can order something different. My waiter was displeased and told me that she would cancel but not allow me to order a different item from the menu. So saki and water... read more

We were 1st time guests in Sho Gun tonight. We go out every Friday night with anywhere from 6-15 people and spend good money and tip very well, I worked in a restaurant for years and made good money and tip very well because of it. We were sat at a table and a young lady took our drink order and brought them to us. Then a tall man in a big hurry named Alex, came to our table to take our orders. My friend was trying to ask him a question about a sushi roll and he proceeded to tell her that "if you want that you need to pay for it", which Sir, I'm certain is the standard protocol when you dine at a restaurant. Then tells another friend "you order of the menu, we're not Italian or American, were Japanese. You drive Honda I drive Mercedes (he then tapped my friends watch on her arm) you wear this I wear a Rolex". He refused to answer any questions or help the guests make a decision. He was very hostile and has no idea how to treat his bread and butter. After being made to feel so uncomfortable that I can't eat there we decided to leave. We had ordered 7 soda or teas and 2 waters, none of them were even drank and he followed us outside and said "you owe $17.65 you pay now" we have him $30 and he tried to keep it all. We had to go back inside and ask the rudest man alive for the change back from sodas we never drank. I have never been treated so badly. I will never ever, ever go back and reading other yelps I have no clue how he is still in business. Ill mannered man child lost $200 in sales and cost his servers at least $40 in tips. I wish I could have left -5 stars. read more

The wait is just too long when there is only one or two customers beside us...we only return because we do enjoy the sushi, but this why we don't come often. Need faster service please... read more

I would be very careful eating here, there's a high chance that you will be charge for something that is suppose to be complimentary, i.e. condiments and disposable chopsticks. The owner is weird and border-line creepy. For example, I love seafood, when i use to go there I would always order the grill squid, and Alex (I think his name is) would be bragging on and on about how large his squid compare to other sushi restaurant; "Oooooh my squid is very big, very big....bigger than any in Stockton". Man rule #32, never tell a guy how big something of yours is while he's eating it....just a no go..... If I was really hungry for sushi on a Sunday and all the other normal sushi places are closed, than I would go to Safeway and grab their premade sushi; that tells you something about this place. read more

If there were negative stars I would give this place a negative 10! I really really hate giving bad reviews but this place needs to be exposed for their lack of customer service. Before they changed owners I used to come here and their food was okay but when it did change I went back and the food was better than okay but believe me I've tasted better, way better. The first time an incident happened. My friends and I came in for dinner and they pulled an overcharge on me. I asked for a little extra salad dressing and they charged me $3 for it. Okay, that taught me never to ask for extra anything anymore even though they didn't charge me for it before. The service was horrible because they were inattentive and rude to me and my friends. Second time, I went with my family. I almost drop kicked the server. My family and I were deep in a serious conversation and none of us noticed the waitress come to our table with our tea. She screamed at my little sister, "EXCUSE ME!" and literally shoved her arm aside so she can put down all 7 cups of tea which she didn't bother passing out to all of us. We demanded a different waitress who was friendly to us but we couldn't shake off that other waitresses attitude. THIRD time and it was my last, my boyfriend and I go in and we waited at the podium to be seated. There were clearly tables open and we know workers saw us. A party of 4 came in minutes later and someone rushed over to the podium to seat them. ummmmm what is wrong here? I made it clear that I was never returning. I don't even know why I kept going back? My family and friends all seem to think this place was worth going to so I kept giving them a chance. Now, I'm making it a mission to let people know how horrible their people skills are. Please, I am not one of those customers who bitch and moan about everything that is wrong because I used to work in hospitality and I've come across those customers. How do you run a business when you treat your patrons like dirt? Like we were insignificant. At least treat us like we were kinda valuable. Reading all the other reviews, I know I'm not the only one who believes this. If you still go to this place despite all the reviews and reported terrible service, try the volcano roll. I took this out of The Record. The link follows after it... » A sushi chef at Stockton's Shogun restaurant who washed his or her hands with water, but not soap. The restaurant also used the same cutting board for both cooked and raw meat, and inspectors found the "entire kitchen unsanitary," according to a report. http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071027/A_NEWS/710270324 read more

I got food to-go here last week. I ordered a bento box and a roll. The bento box was standard, nothing special: 2 items, rice, and a salad (no miso). I must have misread the ingredients in the roll I ordered, however. I got what was basically a California roll with cooked salmon on top and a weird sauce. The problem was that the salmon was only halfway cooked. I like raw salmon, and I like cooked salmon, and I even like rare Salmon "steaks", but this did not do it for me. The texture was really weird. I ate one piece, but couldn't finish a second. My girlfriend also tried it, and spit it out. So we just split the bento box. Fortunately, they give plenty of rice. Even before we tried the food, I was a little surprised to pay almost $30 for a bento box and a simple sushi roll. Long story short: I went here because I thought it would be a convenient cheap sushi joint. I won't be returning. read more

You don't need to spend a fortune here for great sushi. You can relax and have a great time with your friends or just savor the flavors and the peaceful atmosphere. The staff is always very polite and appreciative of their customers. Shogun has a wide variety of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, dinners and soups. If you are indecisive have no fear, the staff will make recommendations that never cease to amaze. The rolls are delicious and the sashimi is so fresh it melts in your mouth with that perfect texture. There is no need to add soy sauce or wasabi to the incredible flavors of the rolls and special sauces. Recommendations: MC Roll, Volcano Roll, sake sashimi read more

I have never had such bad service! My nursing school buds came here for lunch to take a break from a stressful clinical day. The servers were rude. We asked for sriracha and they said that they charge for it. The servers did not refill our water and the food took forever! We complained to the manager and he didn't seem to care. Needless to say we gave them the worst tip ever...NOTHING! I will never go back again. read more

This is the best sushi and best service in town. Our family goes here at least 3 to 4 times a month. We always get the best service and Alex is so great he calls us all by our names. We get great service and Alex always has great specials for us. All we say is "Alex can you get us your dessert special?" He comes out with deep fried ice cream and with a side of mochi ice cream and this is after he stuffs us with miso, soup, salad and whatever specialty he has for us. And the sushi is better then what I've had in Japan. All the western rolls are excellent and I've had every sushi roll he has on the menu. Worth every penny!!! Thanks Alex!!!! read more

I used to LOVE this place. I went here after my high school graduation and my family went here again for my little sister's high school graduation last Friday (of course she wanted to copy me, typical little sister..). The service was pretty good but the food was pretty disappointing. I remember thinking their sushi was amazing but the few rolls we ordered fell apart and the ingredients didn't mesh together particularly well. Lately instead of ordering off the menu I've been ordering sushi by just telling the chef what kind of fish I like and letting them do their thing. It usually comes out pretty good. I asked them to do this here and the waitress looked at me like a I was crazy, then suggested a roll that she said had both kinds of fish I liked (hamachi+salmon). Well it didn't, it was a pretty much a shrimp-tempura roll with some salmon and a shit ton of imitation crab on top. Ugh. I also got an order of salmon sashimi which was ok, the quality wasn't bad but it wasn't particularly good. The tempura was kind of batter-heavy and the salad dressing was really REALLY sweet. I probably won't come back. read more

So, 8 years later and I'm still going to Shogun. Even after living in Sac for 7 years, I could never find anything that compared, and would still make the drive when I was craving good sushi. At this point the owner knows me and chats me up every time I come in, he's great! I'm glad that I'm back near town, so I can visit more frequently (and believe me, I'm there pretty often now). read more

I'm sorry but I think the old management is waaaay better than the current new ones. I was about to go to my go-to sushi spot with my friend, and I just remembered this place was undergoing a remodel. Brand new everything inside, I just wish the staff there were great along with the remodel. We got seated, and our server did not even offer water or other beverages once we sat. Everytime we needed something I had to flag someone over to get something, and when we did ask for something it looked like we were agitating them. We both ordered water, please don't bother drinking it, it's worse than tap water. Their water has a strange taste to it, so we just set it aside. We asked if we can get another drink, (got a coke and dr. Pepper) we got only a can of soda. $2 for a can! Jeeze. Don't get me started on their overpriced basic rolls too, I ordered a volcano roll and oyster bay roll and let me just tell you they LOVE to stuff their rolls with imitation crab meat. The oyster bay was $16, and you'd think you'd get a decent amount of oysters. Wrong. My roll was full of crab meat and if you look in my picture attached, it looks like they took one piece of fried oyster and divided it within the roll. I used to work at a sushi restaurant, and you're supposed to have at least 2 pieces of oysters minimum for an oyster based roll. My friend got the lobster roll, he said the lobster was so chewy it was hard to digest. Overall, this is the first and last time I'm eating here. Zero customer service skills, overpriced rolls. read more

I love their sushi. The Hawaiian maki is definitely my favorite, but I have to say that the service isn't the best. The owners seem to have their good and bad days. We wanted a cup of TAP water for our dog in the car and they were going to charge for it. I thought that was ridiculous, I mean it was just TAP water! It used to be my favorite sushi restaurant, but I don't think I'll be craving their sushi anymore. What a shame. They made my favorite sushi with mango :( Edit: I had to come back to say something. After a long time, I really craved my mango sushi, so I just had to go back for more. I must question the quality of their foods because the past few trips I have made here... I have gotten sick. It's a shame, because I want to blame it on something else, but I can't seem to find any excuse because it's a recurring thing. Also, I feel as if CERTAIN customers get treated a lot better at times. You can tell by the way he talks to you. Service is always my problem with this place, but the person that gives us water is always nice. I'm sad because I really do like the sushi here, but I'm sure I could eat somewhere else with good service, and fish that doesn't make me sick. Such a shame... no where else makes this mango sushi!! Re Edit: I just had to come back and give them one star. I mean, it's just not cool how many times I've gotten sick after eating here. Plus the lack of quality service? I've said it before, but I'll say it again, IT'S SUCH A SHAME because with better service and possibly better owners... this could be a great place. I know the chefs make amazing sushi, but the owners are just really cheap, and it shows with how I've gotten sick so many times. It's so sad. I really did love their sushi at first :( read more

I'm surprised to see such bad reviews for this place, mostly for their poor service and questionable business ethics. This was my first time trying ShoGun after my brother suggested it for dinner last night. I was satisfied and STUFFED by the time we left. My brother and I both had the Bento Box Dinner ($12.95) which is plenty food but my bro was also able to knock out a Super Rainbow Roll ($10.95). He's a big guy with an even bigger appetite. Even though my entire meal was yummy (I had the chicken teryaki and shrimp/veggie tempura), I fell in love with their awesome dressing over a very simple salad. I asked our server what was in it but all she gave up was "very expensive japanese vinegar". I could of did without the grody pot stickers, though. The service was quick and friendly. The place was clean. And our bill was correct. read more

I haven't been to Shogun in gosh maybe a decade? I believe they are under new management. The inside looks fairly renovated. It's nice clean and beautiful decorated. We came on a Friday night so it was mildly busy. We ordered individual rolls but All You Can Eat is an option. We ordered the Kamikaze, KO Beef, Volcano, Black Kirin, Titanic and Baked Lobster. We enjoyed the kamikaze and titanic the most. And the volcano and black Kirin the least. The baked lobster we thought was like a lion king but with lobster. My husband and I both agreed we'd come back here. The hostess is really nice. She's a great multitasker and hard worker. Even tho it was really busy for her she still made time for us and even shared some hot sake with us. read more

Have been coming here for years, but horrible service when they changed ownership. Slow, disrespectful, and unorganized in serving; the salmon and the tuna are no good read more

I like dining at Shogun because the friendly atmosphere. Their sushi rolls are very delicious. The chef are also nice, he gave me a free spicy seaweed salad with tuna sashimi. It was very good! I also like their lunch bentou combo. All the items on the menu that I have ordered we all delicious. During one visit, they were very busy and understaffed and the owner knew this and gave me and my friends a big discount. The best sushi restaurant in Stockton that I have visited. UPDATE: try the special dragon roll..the best roll I've ever had. read more

for some reason my wife and sister love this place. sho mi used to be the place to be until they changed owners and became shady with everything they made there. shoguns, IMO, isn't that much better. actually it may be worse. 1- i'm not big on decor when it comes to restaurants but this place needs a serious overhaul. it looked waaaaay better when it was kazaan. 2- the dishes are simple and safe so no problems here. 3- the sushi was horrible. small servings with a lack of creativity. some times the fish would smell like fish and that's a BIG NO NO!! 4- over priced for quality of food. there are great places in stockton to eat sushi but shoguns isn't one of them! read more

DO NOT COME HERE WHEN THE OWNER IS AROUND. I had come here for dinner before prom with a group of friends, and I have to say, the Owner, who turned out to be our server, was flat out rude and disrespectful from the time we walked in. And in the end, we were priced WAY over what are bill ( we added it up to be around $145 with tax and tip but it ended up to be $172) was really supposed to be because of "TIPS." But if we could, we wouldn't have even tipped at all. That's how bad the service was. " If I knew you guys were going to act like this, then I would have accepted the other prom group" You know what lady ? You are ruining your own service by putting what could have been good customers into people who are going to never come back again, and who are going to tell EVERYONE not to come here because of how mistreated we were. All the other servers were very kind, but that woman just ruined it. It's your loss. I would rate -100 stars if I could. read more
