    A few of the great rolls
    Tonysellhome ..

    We asked for the chef to surprise us with a few rolls. We told him what we were not too much fan of and he did listen. To start He brought a sample platter of appetizers with calamari and short ribs they were excellent. Then the rolls came and boy! They were all great, fresh and so beautifully decorated that it was a shame to eat them The taste was great, so fresh and some of them had some spice to it that made them special. We pair the food with a Sapporo beer and matched very well. The ambient was nice, very clean restaurant with good service. I definitely recommend this gem great food

    Everything

    The food was delicious! I really appreciated that the kids got their food first. We ordered the teriyaki chicken, salad, soup, edamame, a Stockton Roll, Rainbow Roll, Crunchy Dragon Roll, and a Spicy Tuna Hand Roll. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were great. The service was friendly, and the food was definitely worth the wait. We'll definitely be back--come give this place a try! Sorry we ate so fast didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything. Thank you Dara for your amazing service.

    5/5 for Stockton, 4/5 overall. Ordered the 6pc Salmon Sashimi, Zippy Salmon Roll, Philly Roll and the Volcano Roll. The total was about $52 after taxes not including tip. The salmon sashimi was actually very fresh and decently priced! I'd recommend getting this. The Zippy Salmon Roll (inside: shrimp tempura, asparagus tempura, imitation crab, top: seared salmon, shrimp, sliced lemon, unagi sauce, spicy mayo, sriracha, tobiko) was my favorite roll because of the size of salmon on top. The Philly Roll (inside: smoked salmon, avocado and cream cheese) had a little bit too much cream cheese vs. the fish but it was still good. My date chose the Volcano Roll (inside: shrimp tempura, imitation crab, toasted panko, top: spicy mayo, unagi sauce) because he said he really liked it the last time he got it but it turned out he ended up liking it the least this time because of the other 2 rolls I chose! I would definitely pass on this roll, it's way too plain and doesn't have any fish. Good fish to rice ratio and prices aren't bad! It's also clean inside and they played good music when I was there. I'm definitely coming back.

    Stop sleeping on Shogun! This is most a great family Japanese restaurant. The food is great weather you go raw or from the kitchen. It's not the dark, night club feeling ultra fancy place. This is the, celebrate your family member by having their bday dinner here type of place. I have been a customer of this shogun for years through all of the management changes. I have become quite attached to some owners where others have made me swear I'd never return. These guys have been here for 3 years now and they are like family. We've come in with a party of 2 and a party of over 20. We have celebrated birthdays and graduations and farewell parties. It's the place we take our out of town guests or come to enjoy a nice weekday meal. We love shogun. If you haven't, please give them a try!

    Shogun has been a staple in Stockton for years, but my wife and I hadn't visited since it came under new ownership. To be honest, it's probably been over 10 years--back when we were still in high school! So yeah, it's been a minute. The new owners have definitely put in some work--updating the interior, giving it a modern touch, and just overall bringing a fresh vibe. Every time we come in, they're super friendly, accommodating, and always happy to pour a bottle of sake for my friends and me. My go-to order? The Cowboy Roll topped with seared scallops--packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. If I'm stopping by for lunch, a tall Sapporo is a must. If you're reading old reviews, do yourself a favor and give this place a fresh try. You might just find your new favorite sushi spot in Stockton. I know I have--and my friends would say the same.

    Spicy salmon salad
    Rosa M.

    We went to Shoguns for lunch. We got lucky we were the first ones there. It was my 2nd time being there. The owner made us the spicy salmon on the house and also brought out ice cream and mochi for us to sing happy birthday that was so sweet. It is a Cambodian owned restaurant I'm glad I went there. I will definitely be going back

    I came in on a week day to have a me date lol. I had a bento box with chicken katsu and salmon sashimi and hot sake! I enjoyed my meal and service is excellent

    Exceptional Dining Experience Shogun delivers outstanding food, impeccable service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every dish is crafted with high-quality ingredients and rich flavors, ensuring a tasty meal. The staff is attentive, friendly, and truly enhances the experience. Whether for a casual outing or a special occasion, this restaurant never disappoints. Almost every Friday night dinner is proudly spent in this establishment. Highly recommended! Did I also mention it's very affordable??

    Tuna Ceviche
    Sanuikna S.

    I don't have to say too much about the food and the service and the ambience because Shogan is number one in my heart for Sushi. The tuna ceviche is always a dish to order when you're at Shogun.

    Shogun has the absolute BEST service. Every time I come, they really treat us like family. And somehow the food AND service gets better each time! We recently came back from a trip to Japan and really was craving sushi with all the fixings & sauces. It never disappoints! We ordered fresh oysters, grilled calamari, hot lips, house roll, and king's roll. All of it was soooo good. If you like spice, definitely order the house roll! I recommend this place to everyone! Can't wait to be back.

    Wanted sushi but didn't want to travel to lodi so decided to try sho gun. Good service and great sushi.

    Grilled squid

    Food was good! Just too much sauce on the handroll so it made the cucumber very soggy and not crunchy anymore. Everything else was delicious. Service was okay...she never smiled but maybe she had a rough day. Didn't really check out the dine in area, but sounded quiet with a few tables in there. My best friend told me to try out this spot and I liked it so I'll probably be back.

    Lipstick on the water cup. Thankfully I didn't drink from that side before realizing it!

So we came in last night around 7pm bc we were in the area and my son was craving sashimi. Sat down and ordered a bunch of rolls with some sashimi. The food was decent with the price. We've been at many sushi places from the bay to central valley and gotta be honest, the price and portion size here is unbeatable especially the sashimi pieces. They were sliced twice as thick as other places. Now everything was going well until we paid the bill and walked to our car. As we got in our car about to leave, a kitchen staff with apron came in the restroom and walked out without washing his hand. Then another one came in to the other stall, walked out, light a cigaret and smoke for a bit before got called in the kitchen again, of course wasn't washing his hand. Im not sure which station those two were working in the kitchen but Im sure as hell not coming back to eat my raw fish being handle by those hands.

For one reason or another, he just wasn't able to get our attention, which is weird considering we are all sitting around him and he's playing with fire. I also recommend ordering the food with less butter and soy sauce, since places like this tend to be heavy handed with both. The restaurant has made an interesting choice to offer soup OR salad with your $40 meal. It comes across as stingy, but I've been to places where the table gets overcrowded with plates and bowls so I didn't mind too much. One thing to note about the place is they do not have an exhaust above the grill. Instead, the exhaust vent is at grill-level. Your clothes will reek of smoke either way but I could definitely see people with asthma having difficulty at this place.

On the site, there are no descriptions or pictures of what any of the rolls are. I had to look for a copy of their actual menu to compare the names to the descriptions which was mildly annoying. When I arrived at the front counter, I was quickly greeted and had my payment processed. They were diligent and paid attention to the special request made in the order comments. They noted my request on the container - super cute! I came during lunch time and the restaurant was basically empty. It is super large and looks like it would be perfect for a date night or large gathering. I ordered the Connie Roll and it was insanely good. It was pretty large and super saucy (which I love). The crab meat inside the roll didn't taste like the typical artificial stuff that the majority of sushi restaurants use. The cream cheese ratio was also perfect. The salmon on top tasted very fresh. It was overall super good. The prices are a little higher than what I'm used to for comparable rolls, but for the quality, it makes sense. I will definitely be back to try more from Misaki!
