Shogun by Saisaki Restaurants Review

Great menu, great raw bar, great bar, good service; second visit less so. Had the distinct feeling mgmt was placing too much emphasis on personal "bonus", not enough emphasis on their customer service. Staff seemed unable to provide good service. May have just been our waitress. Had to ask for cocktail sauce for a $30 plate of shrimp... Told it wasn't part of the meal.

Never had a bad meal here. Have eaten here more than 20 times.

My wife and I, searched for a seafood restaurant while visiting VA Beach. Harpoon Larry's had great reviews. Nevertheless, our experience was very unsatisfactory. There oysters were nothing compared to the size of their advertisement. In fact, they were the smallest oysters I have ever seen served in a restaurant in all my years of eating oysters. After being disappointed with the oyster meal, we decided to give the reviews one more chance to prove us wrong. We ordered the evening special " GUMBO SOUP". I can only say Chef Ramsey, would have requested too throw the entire batch in the trash and fire the chef that prepared this " Horrible replica" of GUMBO. It was fishy, greasy and difficult to consume without gagging. Lastly, I know we were at an ocean-front restaurant, but the bathrooms we're much like the food "trashed". Please, help this restaurant and stop faking these (3.5-5.0) reviews. They are going to cause some serious medical issues on some poor out of town unexpected visitor like my wife and I. We spent the next two days tag- teaming the toilet. We believe the oysters were not as fresh as advertised.

The crab dip is amazing. It's actually filled with crab. I go just for that. The food is good all around though. Kind of pricey for the atmosphere but I won't knock a star for that.

Came to dinner with family and after waiting for 25 minutes we were seated. The music was so loud that you could not enjoy your dinner. I feel that if you pay for a expensive meal you should at least be able to enjoy it.

Place was packed, service and food was excellent. Seafood pizza is the BOMB!

Pretty good seafood joint with real good service. Highly recommend the she crab Salmon.Prices are what you would expect from a seafood restaurant.

The tuna steak was great and our waitress was friendly and helpful. The host staff could use some training in customer service. Overall Harpoon Larry's was great.

This is my boyfriends and I second visit, Once again very satisfied!

I love this place. The atmosphere is great, the staff is nothing special, but they don't have to be, a bar is a bar. good/great if you know what to order. What makes the joint is the food is great.

One of my favorite Thursday nite spots all u can eat shrimp mmmmmm

A little pricey for the casual beach going atmosphere. Food was good but it was not 70.00 worth for myself and my husband. I had Mahi tacos a beer and he had seafood platter with a beer.

This place was fantastic. Great food and atmosphere. Server was friendly and staff all seems nice. Was packed for my entire two hour meal so that indicates the food quality. They had a special of .75 cents per oyster. That's insane! Best deal I've found so far in Hampton roads. The portions were cooked well but both pieces of fish we received were smaller portions. Felt like it was not much bang for your buck in terms of entrees. The hushpuppies are blah at best. Overall, go for the oyster deals or if you want quality fish, just don't expect to leave full.

I have been here before, great time with family...will return again.Food and drinks were good.

Best seafood I ve ever had in my life !
I went back to Akers sure it wasn t a fluke......
It wasn t
Unbelievably delicious !
See the waiter Adam, he s awesome !

Our "go to" local seafood restaurant. Always good service, excellent crab legs and oysters. Very wide selection of local and national craft beer.

Just had my mom's surprise birthday party for a party of 20 there and the hospitality was great. Food was delicious, drinks were even better. Spent a little over 2 hours there with no complaints. Will definitely go there again.

BEST SEAFOOD DINNER THAT IVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME! I suggest u come here with a serious appetite. The best calamari and family friendly. If u get oysters look for the lucky crabs. Ask for the server Storm she's awesome. Thx for a great dinner!

Good oysters, great seafood and very chill environment.

It does not have an extensive menu (which is not bad) and has good dishes. A casual atmosphere quite pleasant and even familiar.

Amazing!
Has that Joe's Crabshack vibe with wayyyyyyyyy better food. We tried the crab dip which had a touch too much mayo, Oysters (fresh and delicious), Gumbo (omg ), Bermuda Triangle which consisted of broiled shrimp, fresh lump crab meat and scallops, Stuffed Flounder and fried crabcakes. Everything was delicious. Restaurant was clean and wait staff very friendly and fast. Would definitely dine here again!

Excellent food, prices, and drinks. Waitstaff was excellent cannot commend them enough! Will definitely be back!

Pricey but delicious!!!! Clam chowder could use no bacon!!

Nice nautical decor (esp. the tables). Longer wait time for food than necessary; however the grilled tuna sandwich was one of the best I've had! It's a well-known local hangout and good value for the food. Try their sweet potato fries- delicious! (L. Glover)

Steamed shrimp was pretty awesome their french fries were pretty awesome and those specials on their crushes were pretty awesome too! Service was grest! They have a pretty decent menu but I wish they had a lot more options to choose from..... it was a little disappointing for my expectations, it was mediocre to most of all the other restaurants in the area. Other than that we would definitely be there for a good drunken day/night!

Food was great. We sat at the raw bar and the bartender was fantastic. I've been a bartender and manager for 20 years so I can be tough to please. He rocked it. Only complaint was the 30 or so college kids all yelling and partying while I tried to have a nice quiet dinner. For the prices they charge I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person sitting next to me.

I always love this restaurant never disappointed food

Our server was incredible!!!! But the food was over-priced and I had chips on my plate!!! Won't be coming back for this reason.

Fresh in from Wisconsin and looking for good seafood. We found it. Our server Adam was a pleasure to work with. Accomodating and freindly

Great service. Excellent food. Try the Mako Shark appetizer!!

Service was excellent and the food, grilled chicken salad and crab cake sandwich meal was well prepared deliciously satisfying.!

I love, love love this seafood and bar. Awesome! Prices, good variety of foods and drink beverages

Awesome place. We were traveling from Columbia SC, and decided to sit down and eat here. We were in for a wonderful treat!!! Everything was great!!! The stuffed mushrooms were delightful, and the captains platter was absolutely amazing. We will try and visit again before we head back. Thank you for a magnificent experience!!!

Nice place to enjoy a little bit of Seafood & a quick drink at happy hour

The staff was friendly HOWEVER, those prices are not reasonable. As a matter of fact it is quite pricey for BLAND food we were served! Crab cakes were awful and weird flavored. Even garIic mashed potatoes tasted like water! I am starting to think we ordered the wrong thing because of all of the people that were there to eat! My husband and I were honest with the server and we still gladly paid but the food was awful!

Best seafood I've had in a long while! Definitely worth the visit.

Very good selection of seafood. Mussles, clams, oysters, crab and it was all delicious

Great place. Outside seating. The food is excellent and reasonably priced.

Absolutely Delicious. Can't wait to visit again. My wife really enjoyed the Shrimps and Grits!

Other than the fish tacos & the french fries every thing else was way overcooked. The fried calamari was so overdone. Never had flavorless crunchy calamari until this meal. For a bill over $100 (no alcohol) for 2 people you would think the food would be fantastic, it wasn't. Won't be going back.

A great place to eat, wonderful staff. Delicious food

Great food. Nice drinks and a friendly staff. Wonderful oysters

Love harpoon larrys it has great raw bar items and great cooked seafood

Great food, decent prices and friendly staff. I will eat here again.

So sad to see a great restaurant go downhill. My husband and I had dinner there last night. The food was horrible! Crab cakes were mushy, calamari was tough and tasteless, fries were cold. As if that was not enough, we were both sick all evening after eating there. Prior to the move, food was great and prices reasonable. Now prices more than double and food is horrible!!! Would not waste your time or your money on this place.

What a wonderful place to eat at
The people are very friendly
The food is delicious
I love this place

Food and drinks are good, so why only 4 star rating? Its expensive for the quality of food. In this area, a penensula, there are probably better options with equal quality for less.

Service was great gentlemen with a Ohio State hat on great job , food not so great was supposed to be flounder was definitely not actually thought I was eating a TV dinner

The absolute best gumbo in this world! Dennis is the best server!

.75 oysters all day Monday makes it pretty busy on Monday night, but we'll worth it. The oysters are fresh and shucked at the bar. Fresh, clean, and delicious...
