Shogi Sushi

Lowkey spot, deserves more attention. Grand opening gets you 15% off all you can eat currently

We came to Shogi Sushi for lunch today after seeing an advertisement in the local paper. The restaurant is located where the Kazuki Sushi used to be, across from Canada’s Wonderland. Most of the parking spots were taken, but inside the restaurant there’s a sign that says that customers can use parking in the back. The restaurant has 9 tables (6 of which can hold a group of 4). The décor was pretty much the same as Kazuki.
Shogi offers AYCE sushi for $ 13 for lunch, but is an extra $ 2 for Friday through Sunday. The sushi was really good. We had salmon, butterfish, fish roe, clam, and spicy salmon sushi. I thought the salmon sushi was really good. It was warm, which I like (no ice-​cold fish for me please!). The shrimp tempura was tasty and light. It’s not over-​fried and hard like some other places. We really liked the beef teriyaki. The beef was tender, again unlike other places that might serve overcooked beef. We also tried the happy hour roll and the spicy butterfish roll, both were very tasty.
I also tried the red bean ice cream, which was tasty. One of the owners came by and asked if we’d like to try the sesame ball, which has red bean inside. It’s not on the menu. It was super nice to ask, but we were stuffed! The wait service was very prompt and attentive.
In an area where there are a number of competing AYCE sushi restaurants, Shogi is definitely a strong contender. We’ll definitely be back.
