Sho Gun Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

One of the worst sushi places I've been to. Service was terrible. When we ordered, the waitress made us feel like we were stupid. Food was terrible. We ordered salmon sashimi and it came out on a plate completely drenched in a pool of ponzu sauce. Also, each salmon was wrapped around a slice of avocado and ONION and topped with green onions. Not tasty AT ALL and clearly a failed attempt to mask fish that is not fresh. Even in the chirashi bowl, all of the sashimi was laid plain on the rice EXCEPT for the ponzu drenched, onion/avocado filled salmon. We finished eating and the waitress was hiding out in back for another 40 minutes no where to be found. It was just an overall horrible experience....

I just had an amazing experience here. I'm relatively new to sushi, just checking out the local restaurants near my apartment.

I showed up at around 5:30pm after opening and ordered a few different things at the bar. I was the only person there and got to talking with the sushi chef, who was incredibly friendly, honest, and welcoming. They taught me how to do everything without it being uncomfortable at all, even down to the beer recommendation. The food was of course delicious, tasted quite fresh, and was prepared beautifully.

I learned that the place has dedicated regularly customers, which it remains faithful to - apparently the restaurant has been here since 1984 (or was it...

We came here because we saw it was a cute mom and pop shop and we love supporting local businesses. For some reason the staff did not like us from the very beginning. The woman who takes orders and delivers food is extremely rude. They didn’t even give us a proper menu.She brought out udon for us and tried handing us spoons. When we didn’t take them from her quick enough, she shook the spoons in our face and yelled at us saying “take this now”! The udon was terrible. Boy this was the rudest and most disrespectful service we have ever received. Don’t even bother coming here. It ruined our night. And the sushi is not even good. Come here if you like to be treated with no respect....
