Shogun’s authenticity, atmosphere take number one spot

If you are looking for something different than barbequed ribs or a hearty burger from even the best among the local bars, Shogun Sushi and Hibachi is something exquisite for your taste buds!
Voted for yet another time as the Best Asian Cuisine in Mankato, the restaurant is located along Madison Avenue. It promises its Japanese authenticity in its sushi, sashimi, hibachi, and Japanese noodles.

Currently, Shogun is the only place in Mankato that offers a sushi bar. A waitress from the restaurant usually observes that the customers remain satisfied with all their food and drink orders. “We have a very good chef,” the waitress added. “Our customers are very friendly and so nice. We have a lot of regular customers who feel like a family.”

The favorite typical dish is either the chicken mignon, which is a chicken thigh wrapped in bacon and coated in garlic butter, or the fillet mignon, a steak cut from the smallest end of the tenderloin.

The restaurant’s website boasts that it provides the freshest produce for their salads as well as their seafood. It also says that the chef’s special rolls include tuna, salmon, and avocado and their appetizers vary from tempura battered squid and fried shrimp to Japanese spring rolls.

Happy hours run from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays, and Fridays and Saturdays from 9 p.m. to close. Also according to the website, all appetizers and sushi rolls are half off and the restaurant will provide you with a free drink if you sing them a song.
