Great atmosphere, and buy one get one half off sushi happy hour all day Monday - Thursday (still on as kf July 2022). Usually... when we hear that it means the quality is subpar, but not at Samurai. Great value. And, don't forget to ask for the birthdaysong. Hilarious! Read more
Me and my family have been here 2 times now. I absolutely love the sushi and the price is affordable. They even went as far as... making my 1 yr old his own mini California rolls because he was having trouble eating the big ones. ( they did this on their ownwithout me having to ask!!!) I will 100% be back and will recommend them to my friends and family. Wonderful job everyone! Read more
Overall the food wasn't super impressive from other sushi bars I've been to, but the service and the chef Brian was great.... Ordered a few sushi rolls and beer. Not a bad spot to stop by. Read more
I was faked by all of these reviews. They are Super kind and thank you for that. But the quality of sushi has to be mentioned...... I understand most people care more about ambiance and service when they have sushi... but this is not even a low grade. Worstone I had in SoCal. And that tuna sushi is called a carbon monoxide colored fish, not even close to tuna. Ironically, they havelower grade sushi than poke or even buffet places do... I left my sushi but finished beer to cleanse my taste buds. Read more
Food: 5 star Service: 5 star Wait time: 3 star We've gone to Samurai for years - pre-pandemic (dine-in), during the pandemic... (takeout), and more recently now that restaurants are offering indoor dining again (takeout). Samurai is our go-to for freshsashimi and delicious specialty rolls (Bingo roll is one of our favorites!). This place has always been busy, especially withtheir "Buy one get one 50% off" happy hour special (Mon-Thurs). Takeout orders can take a long time - I called in my order on aThursday around 5pm, and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes, but ended up waiting more than 30. Be ready for await! Other than the wait, we love this place. If you dine-in, try sitting at the sushi bar. The sushi chefs are friendly andentertaining to chat with! Read more
A small spot to eat good sushi or other Japanese dishes. Kids were very happy with the selection, too. Some of our friends who... don't eat sushi ordered dishes with cooked fish or a seaweed salad and they were also very pleased. Some of the portions arehuge. You might want to ask the server about the dishes you are not familiar with. Everyone was very friendly. Read more
