Shogun

Though they were close to closing with an mostly empty house the night before Thanksgiving, the lady was kind enough to let or family and another eat who came in about the same time. Food was great as always and our service was awesome. Yes, they push a cart with your raw food, all sit down hibachi do, that's part of the experience. Every time we've gone since we've moved to Huntsville, this resturant has been amazing. I've had steak, chicken, veggie and shrimp on the hibachi, and some stuff from the sushi bar. I've tried thier drinks, the Geshia is amazing. An all around great place. If you eat on the weekend, call ahead!

Our visit on 11/23 ended a bit differently.
When we were leaving and they were closing up, four people came bursting though and demanded to be seated. When the lady kindly explained they were closing early for the holiday, the jerks decided to yell and cuss out the poor employee lady. When exiting, one of the jerks decided to comment (rhetorically I assume) how crappy the people were. I replied with an affirmative of how crappy I thought these jerks had acted towards thier fellow human beings, on Thanksgiving Eve no less, and encouraged them to be decent humans and have a heart. Their response was, as expected, to get louder, more aggressive and abrasive, and proceed to cuss me out in front of my children who were with me, (ten, eight and two), and threaten my physical safety. We stayed in the resturant until they left for both our safety and that of the closing staff.

I describe this in detail so that if they decide to post like they threatened too, the rest of the story is told. I applaud the staff for handling these people with kindness and calmness, you've won permant customers in us!

My fiance and I went to eat here on January 22. The service was horrible. We waited for five minutes before a hostess finally came out from the back and realized we were there. We arrived with another couple, and we filled up the seats at the grill. After about ten minutes, a waiter finally came out and took our order. We were both almost out of drinks before he came back and filled our glasses. The cook wasn't very good at all. His "show" consisted of him busting a few eggs. Also, he couldn't stack the onion rings to make the volcano. He was not friendly and only spoke to confirm the order and ask if it was OK at the end of the meal. As for the food, his rice was still crispy, and it tasted horrible. It was almost like eating fried white rice with no seasonings. Also, the vegetables were barely cooked. The chicken that came with the meal tasted like barbecue, not like what you would expect to find in a Japanese restaurant. The shrimp was good, but the pieces were huge. I had to cut them with my fork just to eat them. The only decent thing I had was the steak. It was OK, but it needed some sauce of some sort. They have no variation of sauces unlike a few other Japanese restaurants we have been to. In fact, the Shogun in Chattanooga had both ranch for the salad and white sauce. This one had neither. All in all, it was not worth the fifty dollars for us, and I will not be going back again.

Excellent food & service! Great place to go for lunch or dinner!!!
