Customer Review Summary
Ramen broth draws the most repeat praise, described as rich, bold, and well balanced between salty and savoury, with the tonkotsu and shogun ramen singled out by name. Close behind, the salt and pepper chicken wings come up again and again as a standout starter, alongside the salmon poke bowl and chicken karaage poke bowl, and vegetarian and vegan diners note the vegan fried chicken favorably. Portions and value are repeatedly called generous and good for money, and service is described as quick, friendly, and attentive, with one reviewer noting the restaurant is family run. Seating is small and fills quickly, with one visit noting only street parking and another finding the music a bit much. One diner also mentions online table booking was unavailable despite trying. Several say they return often and would come again.

“It was not only my first visit to Shogun, but also my first experience with a Poke bowl. What an experience it was! But first, the restaurant is a small cozy authentic Japanese restaurant with a lovely selection of 'Japas' (Japanese Tapas for the confused of you) to wet your appetite. The salt and pepper chicken wings were deliciously crispy, spicy and moist, I highly recommend. Once the Japas has been devoured you can pick up your chopsticks and move to your main. In this instance, salmon poke bowl. It was a delight. The salmon was fresh and tasty, the rice was sticky, the seaweed and the edamame added an extra dimension to the texture but my personal favourite: Mango! It adds that wonderful sweet dimension that rounds out the whole dish. Splash some soy sauce and eat up. I chose to wash it all down with homemade lemon iced tea that was wonderfully refreshing. The only downside is the parking, street parking only it seems. But I'm not local so maybe there is somewhere good to park.”

“everytime i have been here, it’s never disappointed me. I’ve tried multiple ramens, sushi ect. My first time trying katsu curry from here and it was amazing. The salt and pepper chicken wings really stole the show. I’ve never had better chicken wings in my life. My partner had the curry ramen (another favourite of mine) and it was all so delicious i cannot recommend coming here more!”

“Super cute spot, in theory I should gatekeep but honestly that wouldn't be fair. Great portion sizes, a very diverse menu (veggie and vegan options). Just genuinely good food and the waitress was sweet too 😊”

“Visited with my husband and 8 year old. We had two appetizers (dumplings/gyoza and chicken wings), and all three of us got a different ramen. We enjoyed everything. The seating area is rather small, but we were only in the restaurant with one (maybe two at some point) other families. Decent drink selection. Close to shops and pubs.”
