Shogun Japanese Grill - Pearland

I love this place.. The flavor of the Shrimp Fried Rice is really good! I wish they would bring back the chili oil seasoning.. i love that on my fried rice. Oh, the Sushi, always fresh.. my husband doesn't like raw but I was able to convince him to try it and he said it wasn't too bad lol. (that's a 5 star for him lol) I've been going to ShoGun for years and I haven't had one bad thing to say about them. They are very consistent, the servers are pleasant and willing to try to resolve any issues. It's great for a date night. They cozy booths with high backs. It feels like it's just you and yours in the room sometimes.

A great overall experience for my family. For the price you can't go wrong. There are several Grills In the area but for us we had a great time. Food was yummy. What wasn't to love? Got seated pretty fast for a party of 15. Very accommodating.

Did not know if I wanted to post this or not.. but when i was there on March 10th, around 8pm we were handed soy sauce and while we were pouring it, we saw baby roaches in the soy sauce. We told the waiter about it and he apologized and gave us another soy sauce bottle. We poured it out on the dish and there was STILL baby roaches but this time on the soy sauce plate. We told him again and he apologized and he gave us a new one but we just didn't want to use the soy sauce at all. The owner apologized with the most fake asian accent ever. A few min later he walked with a customer with perfect English. We wished we should've left.. the food was not good ; I was there with two other people, if one of them didn't say anything we would've been eating roaches.

I like the hibachi grill itself more than I like the food. I ordered the chicken tepanyaki with fried rice and noodles. The chicken was a little dry and bland. The rice was okay but the veggies were the best of all. Well the hibachi cook threw in a couple of shrimp and they were really good. Before the entree, onion soup and salad is served. The soup is tasty but I don't eat the salad because it's basically just lettuce with salad dressing and I don't eat lettuce.

When people ask me to flex, I just pretend I work at Sho-guns. But this is unrelated. This is one of those hyper westernized all American sushi hibachi places, with all the fanfare of a suburban sanitized experience. The food tastes good, the prices are high, the key is the experience. I don't like these massive corporate chains, and I don't love this kind of sushi either. I like mine from a back alley, freshly chopped by some person that really knows it and puts their heart into it. Anyway, for the experience, I give a 3 as usual. This is one of 2 Shoguns I've been to in HTX area and it's better than the other.
