Shogun's of Fayetteville Review

They are pretty Good and clean. Would like to have my Vegtables after my rice and not last.

I love this place great soups, and the food is excellent and if you love Japanese food come here for a date night

Great staff. I had spring rolls, Rainbow roll, Godzilla roll, hibachi fillet & hibachi scallops. I'm from Charleston, SC & the hibachi places there always overcook the scallops. These were perfectly cooked. They also have fresh wasabi, not the dried stuff I've always been served & it is sho much more flavorful & good. Shogun is my favorite restaurant in Fayetteville.

I love their sushi!! I drive all the way from Cameron to eat here or order take out! Their sushi never disappoints!

Great service, the habachi was great our chef is very entertaining. I sat at the sushi bar the next time and they gave me a free appetizer. The servers were very attentive and always cared about me and how I was doing. Will definitely come back

Great place.1st time at this kind of restaurant...the cook was fun ,very entertaining, food was delish..great place.

Bobby and his wife were awesome. They were our cook and server. They created an amazing relaxing fun dinner experience. Can't wait to go back. The food was amazing.

Amazing sushi; took a friend from Japan on her first visit to the States and she said it tasted just like home!

Had a great Christmas dinner! Definitely the start of a new tradition.

Been here several times ordering take out during Covid. Last night they were off on two Godzilla rolls that didn t taste the same way they usually do. But all the other times it has been great so I am giving 4 stars.

Fantastic!!! Friendly and great service.....and the food was awesome! Brought all my kids and they made it a fantastic experience for them!

I hate crowds so this was a great alternative from the chaos on Skibo. Having some ppl in the restaurant on a Saturday night would have been ok though. Food was 4 stars, service was 5!

Great food, great service. Chef worked well with my children. Good laughs and experience.

My daughter loved her experience with the cook and the food was amazing!

Really good food, fast service, friendly. The chef was talented with his hibachi skills. Very nice experience, and not too expensive.

Typical Japanese restaurant. Food was good and priced on par with other local Japanese restaurants. I prefer the ambiance of this one over others though.

Very tasty food. The sushi is really good. The habachi is delicious the chicken and the shrimp.

The food and show were decent. 3/5 for the food taste and portion size (vs. cost) 5/5 for the chef show.

I wish that I could rate the food as amazing as I have in my pasts visits. But I was unable to enjoy a meal last night from Shogun Japanese Steakhouse in Fayetteville, NC. Due to the horrible service received yesterday evening when I stopped in to dine with my sister.

I explained to my sister prior to arriving at the restaurant some history that I had with the restaurant. Some years ago when Shogun first opened I was impressed by the ambiance and how nice it was inside the restaurant. But after the newness wore off some of the traffic to dine in died down. But I kept coming because I liked it and the convenient location. I would always take pictures of the artistic creation displayed on the sushi dishes that I ordered some years ago but couldn't tag the location because at that time, some years back, Shogun Japanese Steakhouse in Fayetteville, NC did not have a Facebook page. After I spoke with the owner's wife about how it would be beneficial to their business and their marketing efforts to create a business Facebook page because it was free marketing. I told her that they needed to create a Facebook for their business and post pictures of the food/dishes to appeal the local area and that it might help increase traffic and revenue. From the feedback I received from her some months after that conversation, when I returned with my mom. She told my mom that I helped her and the business. She also told my mom that I was a nice girl.

However that was some years ago and things are subject to change. On yesterday while with my sister a waitress came over to take our order. I explained that my sister and I both had allergies so we needed some time to make our selections carefully. The waitress said ok, told us to take our time while she put in the order for appetizers and that she would return. She returned in 10 minutes she brought appetizers for my sister. My sister and I had questions about a few items that we were interested in. She answered our questions after the feedback she provided on the dishes we decided we needed more time because the dishes would cause issues with both of our allergies. So she she would be back. After sitting for 45 minutes, the waitress comes back, looks at us and continues to walk past us. This happened 6 more times. We had been there almost an hour and she made no more effort to take our order.

The customers seated on the back side of our booth had finished their meals and she was very interested in their needs and overall their dining experience and I noticed that the interaction was different. The waitress asked them how they were once they completed their meals and how could she assist them further. After I noticed that my sister was upset I told her not to worry about it that I would approach the manager. As I got up to address the issue. The waitress noticed and approached the table where my sister remained. At the same time I was sharing my concerns with one of the staff. I told her that we wanted to pay for our appetizers and leave. The waitress did apologize once she saw that we were leaving.

I am hoping that this was not a race issue but I was very disappointed with the service and also that we were not even provided with the same cordial behavior or speedy service that the customers on the other side of the booth received.

First visit was great! The hibachi is awesome and the staff was friendly

Great service and delicious sushi!! We will definitely eat here again.

I actually give this place 3.5 stars and I'm glad that I don't live here and have to call it one of the "best" sushi places around. While the sushi was not bad in any way, there really wasn't anything special about it. The soy beans lacked any salt nor could I tell that they were boiled in salt water. The sushi while ok, lacked any flavor. It was all just really bland.

Everything from the atmosphere to the food was fantastic. Will definitely be a favorite place for me to visit regularly.

The staff was professional and resolved my phone issue quickly.

Have ate on both the show side and the sit down restaurant side and enjoyed both sides...however the restaurant side is a bit better if you like a value and selection of what you want ....very good food...

I loved the whole experience, will definitely come back again.

The food is nasty but the place looks better than the food.I will never go here ever again

Great experience. Really very accommodating with my food allergy. The food was fresh and very good. The server was good and the chef was excellent and exciting. Will go back again.

Absolutely love this place! Food is awesome, service is impeccable!!!!

I had a good time . Hibachi is always fun to watch and experience, my chef had the most creative approach I've seen yet. Even better I went for the early bird special and you should too. It's between 3 and 5 pm great savings

Best sushi I have had in NC!! Well worth the drive.

Hostess was wonderful, she was also our waitress. She did a wonderful job, she was very helpful with my selection of sushi. I got the habachi vegatable lunch. The flavors are always consistent and good. The service was fast as well, no need to think lunch rush will slow to down.

I love to support local restaurants but this restaurant missed the mark on winning a great review. We have visited many Japanese hibachi grills across America. We didn t wait very long to be seated at the grill. We did wait a very long time at the grill for our chef to come to our table. Which gave me time to look around the restaurant. They need to figure out a storage system. They have supplies and boxes every where. If this is supposed to be a quality dining experience make the place clean and store supplies out of sight. When customers come to these venues it s for top notch service. Our chef was nice and might have been having an off day, I don t know. He wasn t very talented in his skill. This is to say we didn t get much of a cooking show. We ordered veggie and chicken hibachi(you get these right we return) not the case for this chef. The veggies were over cooked, the rice was bland, and the chicken had way to much of the marinade, it was very salty. To be honest it tasted like terrible chicken teriyaki. The bill and cash out took a very long time. They use ingredients that made us start feeling bloated by the end of the meal. We all woke up with terrible stomach pains. We will not return.

This is my husband and I s go to dinner place. The food is always perfect and we get a lot of it. The drinks are good and it has nice atmosphere! We definitely recommend this place!

Great food! If you leave hungry it's you're own fault

We are so glad that we have this on our side of town!! Service is always fast, the cooks are amazing at what they do, and the food is worth every penny!!

This place is definitely a go-to for entertainment. A group of teens & myself went 12/17 around 4pm, no wait time, the chef (pictured) was hilarious & wait staff was very attentive. The birthday treat was our favorite part! Thanks guys for a great visit!

Everything I ordered was amazing. It had an amazing flavor

Leo the Chef was awesome food excellent. Nice show and presentation. Cool staff. Friendly atmosphere.

Food was good and tasty. Server was polite, but didn't visit the grill again once order was taken. The chef had to call out for her. However, he was entertaining and made us laugh. Would visit again, when in town.

Friendly staff, and the amount of food you get is worth the price

Food is always awesome!!! There is nothing to complain about here!!

Always great Sushi and Hibachi. Good atmosphere and great service.

Company was wonderful, food was delicious and atmosphere was delightful.

My Family and I always have a blast when we go. Good service, good food.

How? Is this place rate so highly?
I received a sashimi dish, it was fancy. I mean it was a sight, so there's that. It was sashimi so, no cooking or need to add flavor so nothing there you can mess up. But, even then since the fish choices are chef's the question was raised as to what they were. We'd identified some but, didn't know them all. The server didn't know. That seems to me like something the sushi chef and server would have taken a moment to go over. This place looks fancy but, when presented the usual is to be informative. What if I wanted to order a specific fish again?

But, the sad part my husband's ramen bowl was such a miss. No flavor nothing remarkable about it at all. There wasn't much to it, it didn't look restaurant quality. More like kicked up dorm quality.

Breakdown-
Portion sizes - big
Taste - Okay nothing spectacular
Price- too high for the lack of depth of flavor.

Verdict - we won't return.

My absolute favorite Japanese restaurant. Great service and lunch prices and the food is always excellent.

When you go request VJ as your chef! Great experience and great food!

Best hibachi and sushi in fayetteville! Very clean, Great customer service and friendly staff! My husband, 2 kids and I go there at least 3 times a month all the way from sanford!

Great cook and meal, enjoyable experience, our fellow diners were nice.

The food was delicious. Also, the cook and waitress we're quite friendly.

I've been here probably a dozen times so far, and I always manage to get the same server. Whether it be for lunch or dinner, the service AND food are always amazing. The yum yum (white) sauce tastes great on everything, so I always order extra and drown my food in it. One of my favorite places in town, though I wouldn't describe it as a cheap night out. Prices, however, are made up for in portion size.

Place is racist read the picture I posted and see for yourself !!

A Japanese restaurant whose cooks are Hispanic lol Food is ok but not Authentic

This place had great food served with a smile and lined up with hilarious jokes.

My wife and I have been to many Japanese restaurants and if you want the best Shrimp Tempura Rolls ever come here! Great food, excellent service!
