Finding the perfect spot for the best date night is always a challenge. Whether you’re looking for a place to make a great first impression on a first date or somewhere new to spend some quality time with your partner, the right setting can make all the difference.

Why settle for a crowded sports bar or a noisy I-Drive restaurant when you can have an entertaining and immersive dining experience instead?

At Shogun Japanese Steakhouse at the Rosen Inn Closest to Universal, an unforgettable date night is always on the menu.

Here are four reasons you should consider having your next date night at Shogun.

Our Relaxed Atmosphere

A table for two can put a lot of pressure on conversation, which can be stressful on a date. At Shogun, you’ll be seated at a table with other parties for a more communal dining experience.

You and your date will be dazzled by our skilled Tteppanyaki chefs who masterfully cook your meal right before your eyes. It’s not hard to come up with things to talk about when exciting bursts of flames are shooting up from the hot grill top and your chef is making volcanoes out of stacks of onion slices.

Take the pressure off keeping the conversation interesting and instead let yourselves be entertained in a shared culinary experience you won’t soon forget. You’ll be surprised how much there is to talk about when you’ve got a front row seat to a Tteppanyaki grill!

Delicious Food Prepared Right at Your Table

Sharing a meal is the ultimate way to connect with someone. You can learn a lot about what a person likes and dislikes from sitting at a table with them.

At Shogun, we have a menu full of delicious options to inspire conversation and delight every palate. Start your meal by sharing an appetizer or two or splitting a freshly made sushi roll from the Sakura Sushi bar.

When it comes time for the main event, you and your date can choose from hibachi entrees like tender filet mignon, flavorful teriyaki chicken, or bold New York strip steak. Our seafood options include succulent shrimp and scallops, salmon, and juicy lobster tail. It’s date night – splurge a little.

Every entree is served on top of a heaping pile of fried rice and steaming hot vegetables straight from the grill top.

Don’t forget dessert: there’s nothing more romantic than a slice of Chocolate Decadence Cake with two spoons.

Exciting Drinks and Cocktails

It isn’t just the food at Shogun that boasts big flavors; the cocktail menu is full of fun and adventurous drinks to help ease any nerves or fire up conversation.

Our specialty cocktails are as colorful as they are tasty. The Maiko Mango Punch is a blend of Bacardi rum and Gekkeikan sake, mixed with orange, pineapple, and mango juices for an extra fruity twist. The Japanese Slipper is a smooth and sweet concoction made from Stoli vodka, melon liqueur and pineapple juice, topped with a maraschino cherry.

Order your own individual drinks or split a Super Bowl: an enormous cocktail upgrade presented in a fishbowl with enough booze for two.

For a more authentic pairing, treat your date to a Japanese beverage like sake, plum wine, shochu, or Japanese whisky.

Perfect Date Night Vibes

Shogun is the epitome of “nice, but not stuffy.”

Our restaurant is relaxed without being too casual, and special without being too formal. It’s the perfect place to bring out the best version of yourself, whether you’re making a first impression or looking for an excuse to look and feel awesome for your special someone.

You bring your A-game to your date night, and we’ll take care of the rest.
