Shogun Teppan-yaki - Birmingham

My partner and I received a gift for this restaurant and I have to admit I was quite hesitant because I don't like seafood. However, when we arrived, we were asked if we wanted seafood or if we preferred to avoid it, and we didn't feel judged for our decision. The concept of the restaurant is fantastic, the chef was entertaining, and the waitstaff were excellent. The food we tried was delicious and we left feeling absolutely delighted. Thank you to everyone involved!

We won’t be visiting again. Extremely noisy, with unnecessary and irritating club music on in the background on top of the noise from the chefs (have seen another review saying it seems to be more about how loudly they can bang things rather than showing their skills as a chef, would agree). You couldn’t have a conversation without speaking directly into someone’s ear or shouting at them. The food was average, very salty and you do not get value for money. Minimal food for a lot of money and the quality isn’t there. Wouldn’t recommend.

What is the point of making a reservation weeks in advance for a very special family celebration and anniversary if your booking cannot be accommodated? Am pretty sure in the grand scheme of things our booking would be of little significance to the management the place was jam packed on a heaving Saturday night in central Birmingham. But it meant a lot to us. The young lad on the door was clearly overwhelmed and not capable of dealing with the 'awkward ' situation of having no space for us. And the promise of just '10 mins ' wasn 't credible there was no way anyone was finishing up in 30 minutes, let alone 10! We weren 't even offered a drink and were told to move from where we were waiting to make space for other diners. No senior member of staff was interested. A terrible start to what should have been a great night out. The prospect of spending a not insignificant amount of money on a now tainted experience meant we left (but no one missed us, we 're sure!

Had a lovely meal here again. 2nd visit, both times via a Groupon voucher which is excellent value for money. The mains are cooked in front of you and the chef provides lots of entertainment. The food is really delicious and despite it being a limited menu we left feeling very satisfied. Only comment is the raw chicken and fish are brought out together on the same plate which is surely cross contamination? Anyway, we haven’t been Ill so no biggie. Problem with the bill, so please check. They had actually added the Groupon voucher on to the bill. My husband paid after not realising then they wanted bank details to transfer it back. I don’t know how this could have happened really but never mind. Took a bit of sorting and shouldn’t have happened. Despite this we would definitely recommend and return, we’ll just check the bill before paying next time!

When you want to experience something new or just have a bit entertainment fro lunch and dinner then I really rate this place. My lady and myself dined here for my birthday and we got to experience some get entertainment alongside another family too! The chef prepared made us fillet of beef and these massive prawns too that were both fantastic in quantity and taste. Besides the menu being slightly confusing into what exactly you want to order. It was lovely experience all round including the waiting staff too. You done good
