Shogun Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar

In the city of Houston and the surrounding area, there are literally hundreds of places to eat. Shogun is a Japanese restaurant that combines the best of two worlds: food and entertainment.






At Shogun, you can either opt to sit at a private table, just as in most normal restaurants, or you can choose to sit at a hibachi table like we did. The chef does a show for you, and honestly, his hands moved so fast it was hard to follow what was going on. The entertaining show aside, the food is very good. The food is actually teppanyaki cooking, and you can also order sushi, but it isn't cooked by the chef in front of you.

It's a fun restaurant to go to if you're in the mood for something different to do, and to sit with some strangers. Unless you have a party of eight or so, you're very likely to sit right beside random strangers, and get samples of their food. This time around, the chef gave everyone some samples of shrimp that was actually ordered by the people sitting next to us.

It's also fun to go there for a birthday. They bring out a special hat for you to wear, and they sing you Happy Birthday, and launch a little confetti canon at you.

All in all, it's one of my favourite restaurants here so far!
