When last night not for the teppanyaki but to just order off the regular menu. My wife and I both ordered Yakisoba and it was GREAT!!! Came out pipping hot and asked for extra ginger sauce on the side. Not disappointed at all!!! In regards to our server…. Lauren V. did a GREAT JOB!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

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 many teppanyaki places and have seen the routine before, the chef made us laugh with his tricks. As I looked around the room, it was the same for the other tables in our party and I was glad to see family and friends of family enjoying themselves over this communal-style dining. Before our reservation, we went to the bar to get appetizers and drinks. We ordered Calamari Rings, a Mango Mojito, and a Strawberry Lemonade. The Calamari Rings came out piping hot and was super crunchy. I enjoyed dipping it into the Sweet and Sour Sauce. When we were escorted to the teppan area, we all sat around the grill. The server took our drink orders, as well as our main entree orders. After a few tricks here and there, our entrees were served. I was surprised to see that they served a larger portion than Benihana and Ooka. Food: Because everything is cooked on the grill, I would advise calling 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 miso soup or Japanese salad with Ginger Dressing, fried (or steamed) rice, and Hibachi Mixed Vegetables. I ordered the Rib Eye Steak with Shrimp. It was great with one of the two dipping sauces they provide. Location / Parking: This Shogun Restaurant is located 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. Who doesn’t love the classic fried rice heart or an onion volcano? Or the flaming grill? Moderate to loud noise levels, depending on whether you’re seated next to the chef’s portable speaker. One of the chefs had a mini disco ball with laser lights flashing about, which the kids enjoyed. If you’re aurally sensitive to knife-on-metal grill sounds, it might not be the place for you. Service: The service here was great! Everyone was respectful, they had smiles on their faces, and our orders were brought in a timely manner from both the bar and teppan areas. If you’re on a time crunch, I would skip the teppanyaki and go for something on their regular menu. I would skip the teppan if you have rowdy kids because their grills can reach up to 500°F! They do have kids (Komodo) meals available. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience with the party I was with. It turned a mournful day to an enjoyable one, and it left us with laughter, smiles, and a satisfied tummy! Thank you, Shogun!

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.
