Great food. Great show We had a fun time for lunch. price was excellent. We love going to shogun

Definitely will have to go back to check this location out to give it five stars. Being it was valentines day it was super busy and the dinning area was super packed. The ventilation system was not the best it was pretty smokey in there. But over all it was a good time the cook was amazing and had a good show and the food tasted great. The service was good really didn't have to wait for much. I'll return on a non busy day and time.

Been coming for years. The food is always solid. Great steaks and seafood. We got pasta and potatoes this time which was a little weird. We will ask for no pasta (linguini) next time. Rika is the best server. We really enjoy her!!

My wife and I visited Shogun in Pasadena, CA, to celebrate New Year's Eve and her birthday — it was a special occasion for us! We were seated promptly, and the waiter came by quickly to take our order and bring our drinks. We waited about 30 minutes for the chef to arrive and begin the show, which felt a bit long, but once he started, it was worth it. The chef was funny, polite, and clearly a good person overall — he really made the experience enjoyable and entertaining. He reviewed our order, asked a few clarifying questions, and then proceeded with the full hibachi performance. I ordered the filet mignon, and my wife got the steak, along with an order of fried rice and vegetables. The show and service were solid, and we left mostly satisfied with the fun atmosphere. That said, there were a couple of disappointments with the food. My filet mignon didn't taste like the classic simple preparation I was expecting — it had a noticeable soy sauce flavor, and it came out well done instead of the rare I wanted (I prefer just salt, black pepper, and a nice sear). The fried rice also felt a bit dry and overcooked. Overall, it was a memorable evening thanks to the chef's personality and the celebratory vibe, but next time I'd make sure to clearly emphasize the desired doneness and seasoning preferences when ordering. It's a great spot for the show and special occasions — just double-check your steak preferences with the chef!

I have been coming here for 30 plus years. Food and service has always been great. That is until last week. There was food service change that I can't agree with. They added complimentary yakisoba noodles that felt out of a place and were not that great. For the vegetables, they added broccoli, which wouldnt be that terrible if it was cooked well, and mini potatoes. I am not sure if the chefs are not used to cooking these new items, but the new selections felt out of place and would prefer if they didn't offer them.

I love this restaurant I’ve been going since I was a kid and now that we have moved away I still come every time we are in town. With that being said I don’t really understand the new updates they made on the menu. They added noodles (linguine pasta) and potatoes. Both of which do not make sense when you’re already getting rice. Broccoli was a nice addition though. I know the prices have gone up too which is fine, I think everyone expects this due to inflation and it’s nice they’re trying to beef up the entree to make up for it but truly it doesn’t make sense and feels like a waste.

I find Shogun to be a really enjoyable meal. I definitely felt the pinch in my pocketbook at the end of the meal...ouch.. but that is just me. It was crowded but not too much as we waited a mear 12 minutes for the whole of our party to arrive and a station to be cleared. My only real complaint is that the dinner "show" (can't recall the correct terminology) is dated . The food is cooked well. The service is above sufficient, and for a special occasion, I'd say to definitely give them a go.

I’ve been coming here 15+ years and loved everything about the place and food! But recently I think they got new management and now the new menu changes don’t justify the price increase. The new food additions like the noodles (were bland), broccoli and potatoes to the veggies are a weird combo to have. Why did they try to “fix” something that wasn’t broken ;/ Used to be my go to spot.

It was a Decent first time there, the fried rice stands out best for me personally, but the rest of the food and drinks were okay. The veggie little over cooked and the sodas flat, and the show was okay, too. Some chefs do better then others, but good to checkout at least once. The parking is free and location not too crowded. The price is up there for okay. We did a reservation, but they do take walk ins I noticed and the tables are shared unless you book private.

Great restaurant, upset over how we were treated. Have been going to showgun for years now, personally have celebrated at least 10 birthdays here. Came here for Father’s Day this year and they changed their menus in the attempt to get more money. This, along with having to wait an extra half an hour on our reservation, spoiled our experience. It’s due to the quality of food, management, and honestly, the overall feeling, keeps us coming back, but we are disappointed in the direction this restaurant is going. Back in the day, I felt a very warm loving feeling with showgun - they cared about their clientele, Now it feels sterile (hello Benihana) and just not so welcoming. Still a great restaurant just not heading in the way I would like.

Looks like this location is going thru ownership change. It was not the same this New Year's Eve. Every year restaurant was decorated, balloons throughout the bar and waiting area. This year 12/3…

We haven’t been to Shogun for about a year and but every time we have been the food has been consistently good but not last night. We always have the tempura and love the dipping sauce but it doesn’t taste the same, the waitress was even nice enough to have the kitchen make us a new batch but it wasn’t good. The fried rice also wasn’t the same, I know a lot of restaurants are using cheaper ingredients to save money and I don’t know if that is the case here but for the prices they are charging I expect better. Needless to say we will not be back. The only good thing about our experience was our lovely servers.

The meat quality is okay but the chef put so much butter and sauce, almost everything taste salty. Our chef cooked everything in a rush, no interaction with the diners.

Wow, what has changed at Shogun's? I've been coming here for large family gatherings for over a decade. Last night was a terrible experience. It started when I check in for my reservation, the host…

We had a reservation, yet were not seated and were told other guests would be let in first. Apparently, having a reservation is useless here. When we asked about the wait time, the staff initially said they couldn’t tell us. After asking again later, we were told it would be at least 30 minutes. Extremely rude, unprofessional, and disrespectful. This is by far the rudest service I’ve ever experienced. Makes you seriously question how the management is running this place. Same price, average food，I’d much rather go to Benihana. Won’t be coming back.

Terrible with new ownership. arrived at 6 for reservations at 6, was told that they were backed up and would take 30-45 minutes by hostess. upon our 30 minute check in we were told to check back in 30 minutes and new development, they lost our reservation within the previous 30 minutes. The manager told us that they accidentally overbooked and could not figure out the reservation system. this location is no longer part of the chain as it was bought out and it shows. have been coming to this location since it opened and have never experienced something like this. family didn’t want to take any chances on our christmas dinner so we drove to the pasadena shogun instead! DO NOT DINE HERE

on 10/18 i went to the location in Pasadena, when i first walked in i was not greeted by anyone i was there for about 10 min before anyone acknowledged me, then after they realized i was there i told them that i would like to place an order togo, i ordered 2 chicken fried rice and steak medium rare and shrimp and the other plate was medium rare steak and sesame chicken and 2 onion soups,they told me the wait was 25 mins, the wait was about 45 mins i went in and i asked the manager Micheal who had a green shirt on if my food was ready there was food on the counter bagged he asked my name and went and looked at the food and came back and told me it was not ready and to wait another 10 mins, i sat there for about another 15 mins and the gentleman that took my order told me what i was waiting for i said my food and he walked over to the same exact counter the manager did and said your food is ready and handed me 2 bags that the manager went and looked at, and said that was not my food and to wait, it took me about 20 mins to get home, when i got home i relieved that they gave me the wrong soup that my husband is alergic too and needed to take Benadryl because they gave me miso soup, Also noticed that the steak was cooked well done and it was dry. The food was cold and there was no fried rice in either orders,i called the store and told them that i was very upset because the food was not complete the steak was over cooked and it was no fried rice for either others, so i drove another 20 mins back to the location asked for a manager, preferably Michael , they said michael went home for the night and that the manager there was Ian, i told ian that i waited 45 mins for my food spent over $100 and had to drive over 20 mins, he told me that he could reheat my food and give me the two missing items, i was extremely upset, never had i ever experienced this service i always come here bout 2 a month, i told him that i did not want reheated food because my order was not complete i told him the steak was no cooked Medium rare I told him that I would like fresh food because now my food is extremely cold and I would like my steaks to be cooked, medium rare. The food was dry, so I asked if they could add butter while cooking, I also asked if he could throw in a thing of sushi since I have to wait because I was extremely hungry and I've already waited now extremely long, he told me he could not give me anything but the rice and redo the food, i told Ian thank you and sat down, as i was there waiting i noticed a gentle who was also complaining about his food not being cooked right and missing items a lady from altadena expressed dissatisfaction with her food as well and begged then to double check that everything was there, also another gentlemen who order togo asked for them to check the food to take it out the bag and look and make sure it was done, they even gave him a hard time, i waited about another 45 mins for my food to come out, finally ian brought it to me and it was complete and the order was right and he gave me the sushi i asked for, i waited a total of 2 hours between waiting and driving back and forth i will no longer come to this location any more the service is horrible
