Review from one diner:
“At Shogun, Sushi mainstays and exotic delicacies are always served at their pristine best. You can also order standard Japanese fare, but the sushi takes the spotlight. Your best bet is to put yourself in the chef’s hands and enjoy. If delicate, deep-fried soft-shell crabs are available, go for them. Spanish mackerel, amberjack, ahi, hamachi, anago and baby crabs are all delightful. Fresh salads with vinegary or fried vegetables make delicious side dishes.”
