Shogun Bar
Sushi lovers welcome! Fresh, traditional sushi and sashimi, regardless of what you’re in the mood for: salmon, tuna, yellowtail, mackerel, ikura, uni, and more. We serve all the classic maki rolls, wrapped with just the right amount of sushi rice. The ambitious (and hungry) should try more inventive rolls like the Pink Panther (spicy tuna, avocado, and peanuts wrapped in soy paper) or the Tic Tac Toe (salmon, white tuna, and tuna wrapped in rice paper). Check out our Chef Special rolls for more! We also serve hibachi dishes, hot udon noodle soup, and perfectly cooked katsu and donburis. If you’re in the mood for other Asian dishes, our Pad Thai, Crispy Sesame Chicken, and Szechuan Blackened Steak are fan favorites.
