Editorial Review for Shogun Japanese Steakhouse & Seafood – by Steve Rocca
The Scene
Slit curtains separate four cozy dining sections. Inside the simply decorated, dimly lit and somewhat noisy rooms, globular paper lanterns and traditional Japanese paintings lend a touch of authenticity. Customers can sit Eastern-style on floor mats or on traditional wooden chairs, depending on their preference. The real art emerges as the food is prepared: An entertaining chef cuts and cooks the entrees right before your eyes.
The Food
The only way to get fresher food is to steam it in the grocery's produce section. Ingredients are cooked to exact specifications; steaks, chicken and lobster are filleted then fried inches from your face. While watching zucchini and mushrooms simmering in harmony with your meat of choice, you may sample some tender hearty sushi-including a particularly flavorful yellowtail-or munch on a salad topped with a tangy homemade ginger dressing. A light mushroom and onion soup also effectively whets the appetite without lessening it.

Nice decor and well designed out. The show is medicore the several times that I have been at lunches or dinners. Seems a a bit pricey for the quality of food and ambience. Their Teppanyaki is definitely the focus -minimal on the sushi.
Pros: Ambience for group fun
Cons: Average food

After having tried most of the sushi restaurants in the beach and Norfolk, Shogun has my vote hands down. The only restaurant remotely comprable is Momo's, which at one point had Shogun employee's working there as well. Shogun's staff makes the experience far superior to that of others, regardless of if you are getting something to go or dining in.
