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.”

The mission of Oasis Café is to provide a healthy and comfortable balance in both our menu and relaxing environment. Dining on our garden patio is a secret gem. We pride ourselves in making every item with the freshest ingredients possible with nothing ever arriving pre-packaged or pre-prepared. Oasis Café offers an extensive menu that includes many vegetarian and vegan options.

While we strive to make sure your experience at Oasis is always a great one; we also continue to support local and global communities by donating profits to many charities.
