In Japanese history, a shogun was the practical ruler of Japan for most of the time from 1192 to the Meiji Era beginning in 1868. The term Shogun means “General”, an officer of high military rank. But, in 1 Utama shopping complex, Shogun refers to a Japanese buffet restaurant which is much talk about since it opened not too long ago.
As you have gussed, last weekend, we decided to have our dinner there.
When we reached the place, not surprisingly there’s already quite a long queue of people trying to get a table in the restaurant. But worry not, because we have already placed our reservations a few days before that… haha, smart leh 
Shogun!
The restaurant is quite huge, and the environment is nice. Very cosy. By looking at the number of tables and diners occupying each one, I estimate that they can accomodate up to 300 diners at any given time.
Anyway, let’s check out the nice Japanese food. I am not able to name each and everyone of them since I am not really a Japanese food lover… but I assure you that there are plenty of varieties.
Vegetables, fried chicken, etc…
Seafood Fettucine and others. Notice that the plates are placed at the lower part of the table.
Barbequed chicken Wing and other hot plates.
Sushi lovers, come here.
Now, take a look at our plates. Full of yummy delicious food!
First round.
Second round.
Third round. Oh, before I forgot, that’s lamb chop!
Fourth round…
Fifth round, the oyster. This one is served by Shogun and not on the buffet tables, it is limited to one oyster per head.
How many rounds like this can you take? Before long, we were all stuffed to the point that we found it difficult to stand and breath at the same time. Haha… too greedy for buffet food and swallowed everything as much as we can. Dessert time I guess.
Colorful cakes. Tastes soft and delicious.
Fruits. Good to take some fruits after your dinner?
Lastly of course the ice cream. A buffet will not be complete without a cup of ice cream.
They serve varieties of ice cream, including the usual vanila, chocolate, strawberry and pantan flavor. However, I didn’t come across green tea ice cream, not sure whether they have it or not.
Our table Damage: RM50++ per head, not too bad.
Overall, we had a really good time at Shogun and would probably go there again next time. A piece of advice if you do decide to try this restaurant. Call and make reservations first, otherwise you might end up waiting in the long queue for an hour or two, especially during dinner time!

Laksa,
Drooling together with Che-Cheh?
Wuching,
Don’t play play, OK.
I was in 1U new wing the other day. I wanted to try Shogun so badly but the queue was so blardy long that it dampened my appetite tremendously. I went to the Esquire Kitchen (next door) instead. ;p
RM50+ per head, is it worth it?
How come I cannot see any oysters one?!
TITOKI,
Got whole plate of oysters, you cannot see?
Food Lover,
Where is Jogoyo?
Yalor missed out the price….I can’t take my eyes off the picts
hmmm.. looks interesting.. I think they have a similiar branch here.
RM50.. cheap or expensive.. worth it if have lobsters
I mean FRESH oysters laa. Baked ones are 99.99% not fresh!!! ;p
TITOKI,
Fresh oysters don’t have, need to fish ourselves hahaha… OK seriously, I think their sister restaurant, Saisaki got fresh oysters.
OK seriously, you go try Saisaki and let me know if their food are edible or not, k?! *hehehe*
[...] Time for the Second-class Photographer to come on stage again. Right before my Shogun dinner at 1 Utama the other day, I managed to watch the last few minutes of the Fashion Show. This is all because I arrived late, around 6:30pm! Anyway, it was still lucky that I can still manage to see some pretty chicks on the stage. I didn’t pay any attention to their latest fashion, I could only see the chicks [...]
Wah lao eh…..
Looks veri veri delicious o….
Am…..
Oh….
Make me veri hungry o…..
[...] Ask permission from the restaurant owner? No, absolutely no. Never ask permission to eat, and never ask for permission before I take any pictures. But some restaurant owners will stop you from taking pictures, and that happened to me at Shogun Japanese Buffet Restaurant at 1 Utama. Luckily I have had enough of snapping already. They don’t know we are doing free promotion for them. [...]

Ngwui wui wui!! can’t stop taking the unagi.. super chun sial..

Hey. What’s the exact price for a person on weekdays?

just wanna to ask that question…is it halal?
i like Jogoya, located in StarHill. Jogoya is pretty huge, and the environment is pretty NICE…
There’s a lot of fresh & very delicious food there… such like fresh Oysters (not bakes), fresh & pretty sweet coconuts, several soups, many many types of sushi / cakes / ice-creams, tempanyaki, and many many more ….
this is just my comments to Jogoya japanese rest. Shogun i haven’t try them out yet, well.. let me try 2molo and let’s shared with others later.
Just wanna to noe is it HALAL??? Malay can go o not ??
Outside food & drink allow o not??
Shogun Restaurant dun have any Halal Cert because they’re serve sake
(Japanese Wine) . But PORK FREE…But then most of the Malay Celebrity went to this restaurant. The important things for Muslims is.. (Was-was) when u feel that is not halal.. so dont go…by the way .. i’m having a dinner with my family at this restaurant tomorrow night..
It’s it all type of food here served sake in the cooking. Please tell me if any food is 100% Halal here.
I called today for reservation… but I told the guy that received my call that I haven’t confirm the number of person coming to dine in Shogun. He said harshly that he need to know the number of people right now. So I told him that I’ll call later. Then he went slamming down my call. I think it’s very rude for him to do that. I won’t go to Shogun in the future.
Hey Charmaine, just wanna let you know you din missed anything. I’d tried it. Not vary fantastic after all. There are lots of better place to go.
Yeah.. went there twice… feel nice.. food also nice… going to have my 3rd time there tonight … to celebrate my b’day..!

I saw a rat and a fly on the sushi when I went to shogun in sunway pyramid today. I guess both the rat and the fly are the “general”.
Hi, may i know the exact price per pax at shogun?
coz it’s stated as 2006. dono got any adjustment o not.. Thx for info ya~
Hi all
Lately Shogun seems to be getting a lot of negative reviews. IS there any other better Japanese buffet restaurants that serve similar number of dishes?
GW,
Of course there are others. You can try out Jogoya, which is located at the Relish Floor, Starhill Gallery, Jalan Bukit Bintang.
They serve much more variety of Japanese dishes, but at slightly higher price. RM78 to RM88 per pax if I am not mistaken. Price differs slightly depending on the time of the day (lunch, late lunch, or dinner).
Please let me know the actual & current price per pax now … tQ..
Yo,.. I just went to check out Shogun in Pyramid… planning to take my gf there for our second anniversary celebration. Here are the details…
For Lunch: Monday – Friday RM43++ Sat, Sun and P.H is RM48++
Dinner: Monday – Friday RM58++ Sat, Sun and P.H is RM60++
TIME:
(Lunch) Mon – Fri: 12pm-3pm, Sat-Sun and P.H: 12pm-5:30pm
(Dinner) Mon – Sun and P.H: 6pm-10:30pm
Hope the info are useful to you guys, however i do not know if the prices varies from other branches such as the one in 1 Utama.
[...] believe it. It took me more than 2 years to revisit this Japanese Buffet Restaurant, Shogun. Last time when I first tried them, it was a long time [...]
May i know do u open on Sunday, 25th january 2009 ?
How much per pax?
Jogoya is in Starhill by the way its nice but the standard dropped my parents said i went there once only lol
is it HALAL..?
i had went there 2 times, both times had asked the waiter/supervisor there whether the food is halal. Both times the answer was YES, no pork.
Also called to ask whether halal, same answer, no pork so halal. I asked again, where u get your meat from? the answer was,” Yes, halal, no pork..” Im not going there again..
For those seeking for sure hahal, can try Tenji in Solaris Mont Kiara.
attracting quite a crowd already.
Nice environment, good food..
Make reservations to avoid dissapointment..
At Shogun you only pay for normal food… They sure got VIP dishes that not available to public… only VIP can have it… fresh abalone?? Snow crab meat in delicious soup?
HEHE…
Yes. Tenji is better… the free flow of honey coconut… makes me felt i am in an island with unlimited supply… pay at normal is RM 77++.. at Saturday, Sunday & public holiday.
Promotion lunch & dinner @RM 49.90.. supper @RM 39.90…
Quality food… VIP food is available too. Just for VIP people like me… hehehehe…
