Tasty but a gamble – In general the service is good and you get your food relatively quickly, especially during lunch time. Their food is also quite good. Their teriyaki chicken is tender without being under done and usually makes it to you without being burned around the edge. The miso soup is about standard and they are generous about their miso dressing on the salads. Their sushi is aesthetically pleasing and made fresh by sushi chefs at the sushi bar, which you can sit at and watch. The prices are also reasonable, runnin... read more

Horrible Service, Horrible Cuts, Horrible Sushi... – I ordered takeout because i was running low on time and I needed to get home, so i ordered Sake (Salmon) Nigiri, A tekkamaki Roll, and a spicy tuna roll and some roll with unagi, macadamia nuts, and mango. I got home, the presentation looked well enough, but when went to take my first bite , it appeared as though they had stuffed an entire wasabi ball between the fish and rice effectively making the fish taste like nothing more than wasabi... Hooray expensive wasabi! On fu... read more

Awesome sushi, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff! – After trying countless sushi bars throughout the Central Coast and Bay Area, Shogun is the consistent winner for fresh sushi, ambience, and service. Shogun is located on Pacific Avenue in Santa Cruz, an awesome place to relax, people watch, and shop. Prices at Shogun are very reasonable. My wife and I usually stuff ourselves for about $60 (including tip)! If you get there before 6 PM, you'll usually get seated straight away no problem. Those that make the sushi are Japanes... read more

good quality, but americanized – dishes (and sushi) are tasty, but very expensive. if you're a picky sushi eater like me, meaning you like real, authentic japanese food, then this place is not for you. although the quality of the food is very fresh and very good, menu items feature names and dishes that have strayed far from japanese tradition. menu has been altered to suit western customers. that aside, it's a great place to start if you have never had sushi before.

Quality meat and fish, good flavors. – I really like Shogun. I think the fish and meats are much better than most Sushi places around here, the flavors are really tasty, and the servings are ample. The service on the other hand, is not the greatest. We waited a long time for pretty much everything, starting with the water. This place is pretty busy, so I guess that should be expected. Anyway, this place is worth a shot. The food is definitely worth it.

Best sushi in Santa Cruz – While this isnt as good as some of the sushi you can get in S.F. it is easily the best sushi in the Santa Cruz area. It is a little more expensive than Pink Godzilla but the fish is better quality and overall it is a good deal.
