Word of mouth has made this Japanese eatery a hotspot for sushi lovers. Cooked selections include tempura, miso and chicken katsu -- a tomato-coated delight that's perfect for kids or first-timers. Shogun offers the token California rolls and tuna, but the restaurant's best-kept secrets are the specials served only on request. A favorite is the nitro roll, a fried tuna and crab roll with eel sauce and fish eggs. On weekends it's near impossible to find a seat at the bar, so arrive early if you want to watch your sushi being hand-rolled.
