    We waited more than 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. The waitress was distracted with other tables and left multiple times mid conversation while taking our order (which ended up being wrong).

    I have been coming here for over 40 years and it has gone so far downhill I don’t think we’ll be back. The prices you pay here have always been high, but it’s always been worth it for “dinner and a show”. Well, there is no show anymore and the dinner isn’t worth it either. They precook the chicken now, which used to be our favorite part….it’s disgusting! The rice is overcooked and crunchy. You are no longer offered cooked beansprouts, which not everyone likes, but some do. What made this even worse is four of our orders were messed up. There was 8 of us, so half of the orders! One of us never got our steak, two got the wrong dish, and the fourth had to wait to get their shrimp (after asking for it three times). The cook put one of our party’s food on a strangers plate. He had no clue what to do. The stranger let the person in my party take it off his plate, which I’m pretty sure is a health code violation (not to mention disgusting). They did take one meal off the bill, so I will at least give them that. I rarely write bad reviews, but for a $400 meal this one had to be written. I would save yourself the money and the two and a half hours and go someplace else.

    Food was good, but had to wait to sit at table until more people showed up. Best to go in a big group so you don’t have to sit with others.

    In the past our family has loved to go to shoji's for the food and the show. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed in the show. The chef did not make it fun or entertaining and spent the entire time chatting with others. Including a girlfriend who stopped by and had a very inappropriate conversation with him in front of us. This is not the first time we have been disappointed over the past few years. We have spent many family birthdays and anniversaries at Shoji's over the past decades. The past 3 times we have been there we have been disappointed in the show. The chef's used to put on a great show, but we haven't had that experience in a long time. It's very sad, but I guess we will have to find another place to celebrate our families' events.

    There were too many people at our table. We were packed in like sardines. One person did not have silverware. She asked for some and never got it, so she left.The server never came back to ask us if we wanted more drinks. The salad came right out of a bag. It was terrible. Our chef was inexperienced. My chicken was cut too small and overcooked. He gave some people a ton of food and others not so much. I will not ever go back to Shoji's.

    We enjoyed our dinner for 7, each ordering variations of the hibachi choices. All were delicious and presented by an obviously seasoned chef who entertained as well. The service in terms of dishes not cleared, etc. was the only small detraction.

    A horrible experience, lousy service and inedible food. The staff seemed to be involved with personal issues than working as a team. We arrived at 430. Did not get served food until after 6. The pot stickers were deep fried to hard rocks and served with the wrong sauce. I suspect the california roll was a frozen product because it was so chewy. The salad was not well assembled and was dumped in front of me as if it were bothersome to serve customers. The Rice was crispy burnt as well as the egg he cooked and he used half a bottle of soy sauce. It was very salty. The vegetables were overcooked and he added sesame seeds even though I said I can't eat seeds. His reply was "my bad" and didn't offer to replace or re cook seedless vegetables. My fish was still raw from being cooked from a frozen state and the cook got snarky with me when I asked him to cook it more. The bathroom was ill equipped with toilet paper and the stall walls looked as though they had been mopped with tacky water. I will not recommend this establishment and am embarrassed to have taken my granddaughter and best friend out.

    We went to Shoji's to celebrate a birthday. The food and service were both great but we didn't get the 'show' that we were used to. This was fine the the adults in the group but I think the kids would have enjoyed experiencing all the cooking antics we were use to seeing in the past. The menu was different, leading us to think it was under new management. This could be why the fun show wasn't a thing anymore.

    As usual a wonderful place to eat and be entertained. All servers were very attentive. We had everything we ordered in front of us in a timely manner and of course the chef was very personable and funny. Before and after dinner we did not feel rushed and I received the Shojis headband to wear the whole time for my birthday.
