Reviews for Shogun Restaurant in Temecula, CA

We joined a friend here. Haven?t been for years and when we have gone in the past it was always at the teppan bar for the show.... This time we ate in the regular restaurant area. Our server was very nice and helpful. It was amazingly busy for a Tuesdayevening so she was hustling. We ordered our first drink while looking at the menu and that drink came fast. Then we ordered.When we ordered, we asked for a repeat drink order. Our soup and salad came out in about 5 minutes as expected. We are juststarting to eat our soup and 2 minutes later our appetizers arrive. We try to situate each of our soups, salads and nowappetizers on the table and we are only one sip into our soup and here comes the sushi rolls and entrees. Wow, great the kitchenis fast but usually you pace bringing out each step of the eating process. We asked about our drinks and were told the bar is abit behind. Overall. The environment is nice but crowded. The teppan is always entertaining but the regular restaurant is kindof drab and not very exciting. Felt like it?s just stuck in a corner. Wish they would coordinate food delivery to be a littlesmoother. Tho the rolls presented very well, I wish there was a little more flavor. We will give it a try again in the future. Read more

Great place to come for sushi if you aren't on a budget. Prices for dishes outside Happy Hour can be a tad pricey but it is very... good food. Also a very popular place so if you come during peak hours be prepared to wait to get in and for waiters to stop byyour table. The servers do their best despite having to wait on large numbers of guests so that's hardly their fault. Wonderfulexperience if you come when it's less busy. My go to is a custom roll called the Salmon Skin Delight Baja Style (not on themenu) and the shrimp fried rice. The Mexican roll is pretty good if you like spicy and avocado.

Great 45th birthday celebration with my family. Food is tasty and portions are large enough as they are shared with the table.... They're able to accommodate vegetarians but I the grill they use to cook the veggies is the same place they cook the meat. Read more

Someone to cook for me, serve me, and entertain me... sure, why not? We came as guests with a party of 40+ after a funeral some... months back and, despite the event, we all enjoyed each other?s company during this time of mourning. Although I?ve been to manyteppanyaki places and have seen the routine before, the chef made us laugh with his tricks. As I looked around the room, it wasthe same for the other tables in our party and I was glad to see family and friends of family enjoying themselves over thiscommunal-style dining. Before our reservation, we went to the bar to get appetizers and drinks. We ordered Calamari Rings, aMango Mojito, and a Strawberry Lemonade. The Calamari Rings came out piping hot and was super crunchy. I enjoyed dipping it intothe Sweet and Sour Sauce. When we were escorted to the teppan area, we all sat around the grill. The server took our drinkorders, as well as our main entree orders. After a few tricks here and there, our entrees were served. I was surprised to seethat they served a larger portion than Benihana and Ooka. Food: Because everything is cooked on the grill, I would advisecalling the restaurant if they can accommodate for those with special dietary needs or those who have certain food allergies(e.g., eggs, seafood, soy, etc.). For those without allergies, you can enjoy your teppan entree with either an onion or misosoup or Japanese salad with Ginger Dressing, fried (or steamed) rice, and Hibachi Mixed Vegetables. I ordered the Rib Eye Steakwith Shrimp. It was great with one of the two dipping sauces they provide. Location / Parking: This Shogun Restaurant islocated near the Temecula Promenade. It is quite busy but there is plenty of parking. Ambience: Dimly lit, communal-style(U-shaped) seating around a chef cooking on a teppan grill. It?s fun and entertaining, and the kids and adults enjoyed it. Whodoesn?t love the classic fried rice heart or an onion volcano? Or the flaming grill? Moderate to loud noise leve Read more

We've been coming here for awhile now with family and friends and family events. The food and entertainment provided by the... chef is very enlightening. It's a hit especially for the kids. We always go home with left overs. Read more

This is a great location for entertaining dining. The open grill spaces are the highlight of the experience and I'd go as far as... to say that it isn't worth visiting unless you can get seats at the grills. Unfortunately, all that was available for my visitwere the regular booths. I enjoyed the spicy chicken and found both the meat and grilled vegetables to be delicious. Ourwaitress was extraordinarily friendly but did a bad job of taking our orders, as she forgot all our drink orders and halfwaythrough our meal we had to remind her. She also had to come back and confirm a food order. It just wasn't a smooth experience Read more
