First time visiting Shogun on South Dale Mabry and we had a great experience. The crab rangoon were amazing -- perfectly crispy with a flavorful filling. The General Tso's chicken was delicious and made with all white meat, which we really appreciated. We also ordered the kids' chicken teriyaki, and it was excellent -- honestly a great meal even for a big kid. Service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the overall experience made a strong first impression. We will definitely be back. The ambiance was cool and lade back. read more

Amazing AYCE sushi experience in Westshore area!! I was pleasantly surprised by all the vegan sushi roll options and we were taken such good care by our server. I also loved all the non-sushi foods available on the AYCE menu- noodles, ramen, hibachi, soups, and appetizers. This is such a good spot for all asian food lovers and who need a big and comforting spread of food. I will point out something I found nice but maybe others wouldn't, the food comes out slowly. For me, this helps with ordering too much with too big of eyes to eat everything. AYCE is a pacing game so as long as you order responsibly, you shouldn't leave with leftovers OR a uncomfortably full stomach. read more

Great AYCE (all you can eat) sushi option in Tampa! Service was so-so, definitely felt that either the waiter was too preoccupied with other tables, or newer to serving. Food was great, especially for an AYCE. Clean and nice restaurant that was worth the trip! read more

Not worth taking photos of their offerings. I had the AYCE option, which I've never done before. I didn't enjoy any of the sushi. None of it came out right. It was all very room temp and everything tasted off. I had gyoza and a soup beforehand that were fine. I would not recommend this place to anyone nor would I return. read more

I am a sushi maniac and this place is awesome! Being the only gaijin (outsider/white guy) eating in some of the best sushi places in LA and SF has left me with pretty lofty standards when it comes to sushi. This place really delivers and it's only blocks from my house!!! The AYCE deal ROCKS. I'm there at least every other week. If you haven't already, go give them a try, then thank me! read more

Stopped in on a Friday night very hungry after a long day at work. Everyone was very friendly, and I really appreciated that the owner checked on me while I was eating -- that was a thoughtful touch. The drinks were delicious, too. Some of the food just wasn't quite what I was expecting. The tuna in the tuna roll didn't taste as fresh as I'm used to, and it came rolled with crunchy flakes, which isn't really my preference and tasted like imitation. I also tried the gyoza and the shumai, and while I understand many places freeze these items, they were a bit too soft, tasted like freezer burn and fell apart by the time I ate them. I may return to try other menu items in the future, but it just might not be my first choice when I'm specifically craving sushi. read more

We tried recently and the food was pretty tasty! I tried a sushi roll that was good. The all you can eat option looks like a decent deal about $35 but it can be quite a bit if you're not looking to order enough. The chicken katsu was my favorite thing I tried. My big complaint though is more of a seasonal thing. My parents had gone one night and took us the next day. They put up Halloween decorations that day, and they were a bit excessively scary in my opinion if you've got kids. I do really like the food, but given I've got young kids, I will probably avoid it around that time of year. read more

My fiancé and I were attending a wedding ceremony nearby and needed to grab a quick bite to eat. I found Shogun on Yelp and was so happy I did. While they do offer all-you-can-eat sushi, they also offer a la carte ordering. I got my favorite go to sushi, a salmon avocado roll and scallop nigiri. My fiancé ordered the hibachi chicken. This came with soup, salad, and a choice of rice or noodles. It took a long time for us to order. My fiancé needed to stop by the men's store next door for a belt and I had planned to order for him, however, no one would make eye contact with me or come up to me. Right before I got up to ask to order, my fiancé came back in and they immediately came to our table to take our order. I wonder if this had something to do with the all-you-can-eat rules (even though we weren't participating in this). It wasn't too big of a deal in the end because we made our wedding in time. My fiancé was really happy with his chicken, he pretty much finished every last bite of the plate. My sushi was incredible. The salmon was absolutely delicious and really good quality. I'm drooling writing about how yummy that roll was. The scallop was pretty good too. They had clean women's and men's restrooms. Since this is located in a strip mall, there is plenty of easy, free parking out front. I'd recommend grabbing a meal at Shogun. read more

Shogun - Very quick service, hibachi was very good and the AYCE was definitely worth the price! - Seafood Near Me - Tampa Bay, Florida

Came here for Valentine's Day and was delightfully happy with the service and the food for this very busy holiday. I usually hate going out for busy days like Valentine's Day, but we sat at a booth that was perfect and not horribly loud and I was able to still carry on a conversation. We ordered different food from each area of the menu. My favorites were the pepper tuna, sashimi, Naruto roll(no rice), and the sesame balls. I surely loved many of the items I ordered and happily stayed away from rice so I did not feel heavily full. I usually h dislike AYCE because it's just too much food, but I really loved our dinner experience here. I would come back again and I think it was well worth the price for all of the sashimi and sushi ate. They were also better quality ones compared to another place I recently ate. Note, I did purposely stay away from many sushi bc when I saw them they were so big and so much rice. I'm glad I chose that route. My husband had the hibachi and noodles and he really enjoyed them. It was perfect for both of us! read more

I have been to other all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants and they have all lacked the quality and variety of Shogun. First things first: this is not a buffet so diners don't have to worry about other restaurant patrons touching or sneezing on the food. Instead of filling a plate at the buffet diners sit at their table and request individual food items to be freshly made, ensuring hot, fresh cooked items and fresh sushi are all delivered to your table at the perfect temperature. As a family of four, we usually spend well over $150 on takeout sushi at other restaurants , but at Shogun we spend less than $100 and we receive such a wider variety of food. If you are not looking to eat all that you can there is an a-la-carte option, but if you plan to order multiple dishes the AYCE price is well worth it in my opinion. My boys are 4 and 7 so they are only charged the children's price and it seems like such a bargain because my oldest can easily put away four sushi rolls and they both love sashimi tuna. My husband and I always start our meal with a cup of soup, pork gyoza, and vegetable tempura. My kids love the edamame and crab rangoon. We usually eat the smaller size portions so that we can try a variety of food. Depending on my mood I might order the seaweed salad or cucumber salad. The chicken and shrimp hibachi are always great, but I found the steak a little chewier than I prefer. The coconut curry chicken is also amazing and I have been trying different sushi rolls on each visit. The love roll, NY roll, and the green dragon are a few of my favorites. My boys always end the meal with the ice cream cups. I'm not a huge fan of the tempura cheesecake so I prefer to order more pork gyoza as my "dessert" and my husband likes the tamago. We have been dining at Shogun for four months now and love watching our kids slowly expand their food palate! read more

Amazing food, great value, really friendly, great service. Clean and fresh. Looking forward to returning again.

Beautiful new restaurant that took over the old Hao Wah on Dale mabry! They remodeled the place and it's very clean and beautiful! The all you can eat menu $33 for dinner and is a pretty good deal! My husband and I agreed the sushi was very fresh and absolutely worth the price! It even included sashimi and nigiri which was great. Would skip on the "hot foods" they were just okay, make sure to fill up on the sushi!!! read more

AYCE in Tampa bay! First off service was amazing. Our server put in our orders quickly and was very attentive when it came to noticing when I wanted to order, asking for a refill and confirming my orders. The bussers and the rest of the servers who gave out orders were quick as well and confirmed our dishes with each order that came out which I appreciated a lot. When you walk in the place is huge. On the ceiling it had 2 large fish which were beautiful. You can sit at the bar or at your own table and even with a table for two we had lots of room for food. It was also very clean. The food is the main reason I gave a 3 star Instead of 5. For an AYCE the menu was small and many of the rolls consisted of tempura shrimp. The nigiri and rolls had a bit too much rice and not enough fish for me, but I did like the taste of the nigiri that I did have. I had tuna, super white tuna and salmon. I'd rather get those over the basic rolls as there was a lot less fish to the rolls. I think the signature rolls were okay. My partner loved the gorilla roll and I was a fan of the Tampa roll, but over all were lack luster. Every roll could use more fish, less cream cheese and more sauce. The only roll I didn't like at all was the Hawaiian roll. The mango with the soy paper wasn't a good combo for me. The sides were amazing though. Fresh sesame balls that were bite size. I got 4 orders. Gyoza was delicious and the green muscles although were small tasted great. I like the takoyaki the first time they came out. They were hot and had a small amount of octopus so it wasn't overwhelming but the second time we ordered them they were almost cold. Dessert was good! We had green tea ice cream and chocolate ice cream. You can't really go wrong with that. For 32 dollars a person I wouldn't say it's the best, but the sides + the great service might have me come back another time. read more

3 things about that place: 1. This is a new unlimited sushi place that is located in Tampa. The atmosphere was very nice with amazing interior. All the employees were friendly with a greeting smile on their faces. 2. There are a variety of items on the dinner menu for $32.99 which is a reasonable price. From appetizers to sushi rolls to desserts, they have everything you can ask for. All the items came out in a reasonable time and did not have to wait long. 3. Sashimi were very very fresh which I was very surprised about! Flavors for all the items were fantastic except for the hibachi fried rice. The flavor for that was pretty bland and could have had more seasoning. Shrimp tempura was okay, not the best I've had and too much batter. Other than those, everything was good with phenomenal experience. Overall, one of the best unlimited sushi spots I've been to in Tampa and I don't know if it's because this is a new spot, but will check this place out again in few months. Highly recommend to people who don't know which place to go to or indecisive. read more

This newly open AYCE is great for south Tampa community. This is only sushi AYCE at this area. The place is big with large dinning hall. The restaurant has lunch and dinner price on the different time that you plan to visit. They have many choices on the food. It start with the app for different tataki and raw fish salad. It also has kitchen hot appetizers. The entry include different sushi, no sashimi at lunch. The roll start with classic roll and hand roll. The special roll are their signature roll. Then the kitchen teriyaki and tempura. The final is the dessert ice cream and soup. I am recommending the pepper tuna. It is one of the best dish in the appetizers and main menu. The appetizers I am recommending are the mango salmon, gyoza, and salmon skin salad. For the roll, I recommend the shogun roll. It has the torch salmon on top. I also recommend the spicy girl, crawfish roll, and double spicy roll. Service is good. Food come out quick. Not much of wait. read more

Not bad for Tampa sushi. I came here for an early Friday dinner with my daughter. We arrived at 6, and there were plenty of empty tables. We were given a window booth. Service was attentive and prompt. I had a bottle of Nigori sake. It was very sweet and a little warmer than I'd prefer, but it was potable. As it was just me and a 7 year old eating, I didn't go for the AYCE. Also, I wanted the hamachi kama, and that's not on the AYCE menu. I ordered: the hamachi kama, edamame, the shrimp tempura appetizer, a California roll, an eel and avocado roll, an avocado roll, and salmon nigiri. Portions were generous, and food came out quickly. The hamachi kama was okay, not the best, and not a huge portion (three pieces, but one was mostly skin and bone), but decent for the price. I wish they gave lemon rather than ponzu sauce. Everything else was exactly as expected. If you can eat more than me and love fancy rolls, then Shogun AYCE is for you. For me, it was just okay sushi, and for the same price, I can entertain my kids at Kura, or I could get better quality sushi elsewhere. But I will give them props for excellent service, a rarity in most restaurants these days. read more

This is a newer place with an "All You Can Eat Menu" for both lunch and dinner. So the price is not bad at all when you get to keep ordering. Apps: Edemama was good, pretty typical Gyoza was good also Peppered Tuna was meh. Lacked flavor. Rolls: Spicy tuna, seemed to lack flavor a bit but was decent. Volcano roll is a California roll with lot of extra stuff on top. Good flavor Godzilla roll is a fried roll that has a sweet mango sauce. Definitely adds a different flavor but it was good. Not pictured is a Monster Roll. Also good but forgot to get a pic. Soy sauce is odd. Waitress said it's homemade and not salty. Sure enough, it tastes like a very watered down, non salty version. Not very good in my opinion. Luckily the food was decent enough not to need it. Not sure if we would go back. Service was great and the price makes it nice. read more

South Tampa's Newest Sushi AYCE You know I have to let you know, as soon as I found out that there is a new legit sushi and all-you-can-eat spot opening. And, you know how super picky I am about sushi. Grand Opening Special - FREE Sushi Taco Set until Nov 1st ‼ Locally owned and operated by some of the most innovative chefs in the area, I was definitely impressed by even the hot dishes and hibachi items on the AUCE menu. You don't have to drive all the way out of town for all you can eat sushi now, because they are located right off of 275 in South Tampa. Plenty of free parking behind building as well as in front. My favorites are their: Pepper Tuna Sushi Tacos Takoyaki Sashimi Great service, even during soft opening. Love the atmosphere here.

Our first time in Tampa and we found Shogun because it was within walking distance from our hotel. So happy we came here because the food was so good. We did all you can eat and enjoyed some appetizers and a few rolls and a bunch of salmon and yellow tail sashimi. Our server was awesome, he gave us some good recommendations and he was very attentive and friendly. Plenty of seating inside and we thoroughly enjoyed the AC after our sweaty walk from the hotel. Would definitely return if we go back to Tampa. read more

Went to the new AYCE Shogun place on S Dale Mabry yesterday! Tried a little bit of everything. You have your main ayce dinner menu (pictured) and also your al la carte menu. Great drink selection! I ordered their popular "Dragon Slayer" drink that was absolutely delicious! Very pretty too A lot of the food was made all FRESH, great flavor on a lot of them. I was pleasantly surprised by the Clear soup I ordered; slightly different flavor profile but very yummy, it tasted homemade. (If it wasn't, huge kudo points) The rock shrimp app is great, wasn't expecting it to be tempura fried as I've had rock shrimp served very differently, but was still good. Also, do NOT sleep on their seasame balls!! One of my favorites! The only small feedback I have so far is 1. The server was nice but took forever, hardly checking on us and forgot things multiple times. And 2. While the sushi is very fresh and made well, my biggest disappointment was the rice. Just tasted like plain white rice which takes away from the overall flavor. Perhaps needs a bit more rice seasoning or adding some plum wine into it would provide that extra "oomph" into a flavor bomb of every sushi bite Overall I'm so happy to have a closer ayce location, the variety of options was great and very excited to be supporting local. (If you like Hot Pot World, these are the same owners!) I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

We were craving some AYCE sushi on a Saturday night, and this place definitely satisfied our craving! We were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was great and made us feel welcomed by talking us through the AYCE options. While we did wait a bit for the food, it all came out at once despite the large order. We especially enjoyed the fresh salmon sashimi, salmon tartare and tuna tartare, eel sushi, pork dumplings, Naruto roll, Tampa hand roll, and red Thai curry. The price was great value. The interior was clean and very modern, and it got busier as the night went on. Definitely will come back if we are in the area. read more

Food was on point drinks where great atmosphere was amazing and all you can eat sushi what more could you ask for.

I don't wanna write this review, because I don't want this place to get so crowded I can't get in! This place is excellent. The food is top notch, the service is always great, and it's a hell of a deal. $35 for All You Can Eat! And yes, it's excellent quality sushi. My favorite thing is the sashimi. The salmon sashimi is fresh, tasty, excellent. The restaurant itself is very nice. Very modern decoration. Some really cool lighting displays! Worth looking up to see. Management is very nice and very visible. I don't think I've ever been here when the manager isn't on the floor. Finally, staff is always great. Marina is my favorite, but all of the staff is great. I've been here at least 10 times and never had a bad experience! In short, you should go here. Just . . . Not when I'm going. read more

Great food. Great service, and great atmosphere. AYCE is the way to go do sushi, sashimi, and appetizers. For $35, this is a deal. Service was fast and friendly.

Now this is the way to eat at a sushi restaurant. Their all you can eat menu gives you a great opportunity to try almost everything they offer and there is plenty. We walked away spending just about what we would at other sushi spots but ate twice as many items. Smaller portions of crab rangoon, tempura, tuna tataki, shumai etc allowed me to taste more of the menu. Sushimi and nigiri tuna, tako and escolar were great. All of it was fresh and tasty. 2 or 3 peices not enough order another, I love this way of odering/eating. Loved the cold dry saki, Hana Kizakura and the one with gold flakes(can't remember the name). There are many others to choose from. Not sure of what to try do like we have done a few times, sit at the bar with Alex and he will pleasantly guide you on what to try next, he knows the menu very well. Thanks Alex! The build out of the old Ho Wah building is simple but very well done and elegant. I love when it gets quiet you can hear the glass artwork above your head clinking. read more
