Customer Review Summary
Ramen broth is the main draw, with diners praising the shogun and classic tonkotsu as rich, bold and satisfying, and one reviewer crediting its balance of salty and savoury. The curry ramen also earns a mention. Close behind are the salt and pepper chicken wings, described as crispy, spicy and moist, and one reviewer says they stole the show. Reviewers also name the salmon poke bowl with mango, a chicken karaage poke bowl, katsu curry, gyoza and a vegan fried chicken, and a Japanese diner says the food reminded them of their mother's cooking. Portions are called generous and the staff friendly. The complaints are practical. The seating is small and reportedly fills quickly, one reviewer found online booking disabled, parking is street only, and one says the music is a bit much. A homemade lemon iced tea is singled out as wonderfully refreshing.

“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.”
