The jalepeno rolls are wonderful. Spider rolls delish, and the sushi chef, Hiro, is wonderfully friendly, helpful, and darn cute to boot! . Every time I have been there, the people at the sushi bar are friendly, so it feels like a cozy social gathering. The menu boasts creations such as the Ashley Special or the Scott Special named after Shogun patrons who have earned their place there.
Always make sure to check out the “Special” board. My favorite specials when they have it: The twice fried pompano was quite the experience for me and I would get it again. I never dreamed I would eat a fish head! Tastes like bacon! The baked salmon roll is truly divine. No rice in it. Truly. Fresh Soft shell crab, I could eat a bucketful. Garlic squid- I thought I hated squid! But noooo, and it has garlic shoots that my friend thought was string beans for the longest time, ha! and Enoki mushroom..Mmm…sauted with garlic and shrimp. Tiger eye is a warm dish with fish stuffed inside a squid. Another riceless delicacy.
I was forced to try an oyster shooter. Not my thing. really. No REALLLLYYYY. They don’t get the hint and I somehow end up with one in front of me. I almost gagged the last time. But they DO have a vegetarian oyster shooter. So now I can shoot with the rest of them. And the unfiltered saki reminds me of spiked horchata. ha!
Something you don’t see on the menu board or the special board is the seafood salad. This is not to be overlooked. tuna, salmon, one more raw fish that escapes me now, crab, and shrimp atop a bed of lettuce, carrots and avocado, and a wonderful dressing.
The prices are reasonable, so I can afford to stop by regularly. Maybe much too regularly.
