While categorized on this platform as a Chinese restaurant, customer reviews indicate that Shogun Legacy operates primarily as a Japanese restaurant, featuring sushi and other dishes. One reviewer specifically mentioned the "sushi quality was fresh," indicating a focus on Japanese cuisine. The restaurant also boasts a "big generous bar that was still open when we left," suggesting a significant bar service for local users.

In terms of the dining experience, one reviewer noted some inconsistencies. While acknowledging the freshness of the sushi, they mentioned being seated at a less desirable table despite larger ones being available. They also found the sushi combo prices to be "on the high side for Toms River" and the sushi dinner to be lacking a salad or miso soup, being strictly à la carte with a limited and repetitive assortment of fish. Additionally, the reviewer pointed out that the nigiri rice was packed too loosely.

The same reviewer did commend the waitress for being "perky" and "pleasant," highlighting her as the "highlight of the day." They also appreciated the spacious venue with a large meeting area.

In contrast, another reviewer had an "exceptional" experience, praising both the service and the food. They specifically mentioned enjoying the steamed dumplings as an appetizer and the Beef and Broccoli & Curry Chicken as their main courses, stating they would be returning soon due to the "quality and taste of the food."

Overall, Shogun Legacy appears to be a Japanese restaurant with a notable bar area. While one review suggests potential issues with sushi selection, pricing, and preparation, another highlights a positive experience with other menu items and service. Local users interested in Japanese cuisine and a spacious venue with a bar may want to consider Shogun Legacy, keeping in mind the mixed feedback regarding the sushi offerings.

The sushi quality was fresh, but there were definitely some things left to be desired... First, we were seated at a small round table when they were much larger more comfortable tables available and no one will seated after us, so it should be clear that we're not taking a table for four for two people. There were plenty of tables available but they stuck us in a small table because it was more convenient for them not to make up a new table. Second, the sushi combo prices were definitely on the high side for Toms River. I was a little shocked to be honest. Worse, the sushi dinner was lacking in several ways. First, many sushi dinners usually include a salad or miso soup or both. This was strictly à la carte. Second, instead of a nice assortment of sushi like the traditional sushi dinner would provide, it was a limited number repeated. The other issue with the sushi is that the nigiri rice was packed very loose and easily fell apart when I picked it up. I made sushi myself many times or parties and events, so I know a little bit what I'm talking about. The rice should have been more compact. In all fairness to this restaurant, mini sushi places already have gone to this same model of offering only a few different pieces as variety. More traditional Japanese restaurants will still serve the larger assortment. Now comes the mistake... I specifically ask before I was served how many pieces and what's the difference between small medium and large which was priced at $35, $70 and up. I was told it's based on how many people are dining. No discounts for larger quantities. I was told I would get nine pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. For $35 that's the minimum I would expect. However, when the dish was served it was only six pieces. I mentioned the oversight and there was some discussion, they blamed it on a new sushi chef and gave me three more of the same pieces I had already eaten. I mentioned that since they made a mistake maybe they could slip me one piece that I'd really like, the waitress said she'd talk to someone and never responded after that. I guess the answer was no and she didn't want to deliver the bad news. In terms of the waitress, that was the highlight of the day. She was perky, pleasant, and it wasn't her fault that only six sushi pieces showed up. It would have been nice to get my water glass filled from time to time during the dinner, but she was working the room by herself so don't fault her for that. Overall it was a nice dinner, the sushi quality was very good and very fresh. Top quality. The venue is good, very spacious with lots of meeting area. Big generous bar that was still open when we left. I like the place and I may go again, but it's definitely a splurge for what you're getting in my opinion. If you feel the pleasant waitress and the beautiful setting is worth it, then go!

Went for dinner there last night. Everything was exceptional from service to food. As a matter of fact, we will be back on Sunday. I can't say enough about the quality and taste of the food! Appetizer was steamed dumplings and dinners were Beef and Broccoli & Curry Chicken! Excellent!!!

Sushi is delicious! Some of the best….nice atmosphere inside. They have an outdoor section as well, and they have live music outside on the weekends. It’s best to call and reserve a table for that. It does get busy but you can tell the servers really work hard!

Located on a golf course so the setting is very nice. Excellent service. Chinese food is so much better when you can actually sit at a restaurant and enjoy rather than opening a plastic box at home. Even though it might be a little bit more expensive. Definitely will be coming back and I recommend trying.
