What Happened to Lubbock’s Shogun Japanese Steak House?
I was taken aback the other day when out driving and I noticed that Shogun Japanese Steak House had changed names. This caught me off guard since Shogun had been around for decades.
Apparently, the business is now called Sakura Japanese Steak House. I know that the management and staff of Shogun had changed sometime in 2017, but wasn't sure if it was due to new ownership.
I tried calling the location, but no one I spoke to was authorized to speak as to the changes. I just hope the food is as good as it was under the Shogun name!
If you know anything about this name change or what's going on, drop us a message or comment and we will update this story.
