Reviews for Samurai Sam's in Phoenix, AZ
On October 12th, 2022, I was deciding to eat at Chipotle or Samari Sam's next door. I noticed there was nobody in SS and... Chipotle had a long line so I decided to eat at Samari Sam's so I can get home faster (BIG mistake). I've learned my lesson.When there is nobody in a establishment, RUN!! At 605pm, Store#5017 on 30th Ave/Peoria I ordered 3 large dark meat chickenteriyaki bowls to go and 1 egg roll: $29.50+$2tip: $31.50 The pictures advertised outside and inside had fresh colorful veggies& chicken looked delicious. After placing my order I noticed the cook didn't grill anything and everything was pre-prepped inheat containers. I asked the cashier how fresh everything is and she told me it was fresh but if I wanted real fresh come inwhen they open, Again, another red flag I've should of caught but my hunger altered mind affected my decision making at thetime. I get home and give my son, daughter and myself the bowls. We each took several bites and we immediately were not happywith our meal and tossed it in the trash. 1. Chicken was old, not fresh 2. Veggies were very soggy and mushy (after 5 minutedrive). I blame myself as well for 3 reasons: The red flags: 1.Samari Sam's was empty I was the only one there, (No joke!)Chipotle had a long line! 2. Cashier told me they make there grilled meats when they open! 3. The Reviews! Check the reviews! Ididn't, my mistake! I was going to call and complain but after looking at the reviews I decided to post instead. Not Happy atall with this place serving this type of food and forgot to mention my egg roll was also soggy! Julio Read more
It was pretty good, would get it again. Don't remember what I ordered, maybe a teriyaki bowl and egg roll. It was about $16,... with drink. Read more
I walked in earlier this afternoon to place a take-out order and after standing in line for a few minutes and nearly being eaten... alive by flies, I walked out. I?m still contemplating whether or not to contact the health department. If there are that manyflies in the dining room, I can only imagine what the kitchen area is like. Absolutely grotesque.

Absolutely horrible! Shashito peppers not cooked at all, shrimp very very over cooked! And only 6 of them on an $12 order.... Chicken was beyond dry. Will not be coming back. DO NOT GET THE SHRIMP! Iced tea was nasty like containers haven't been cleanedproperly. Complete waste of $33! Read more
This location is always very quick to complete my order, whether it?s placed online or in person. My order today was placed in... person, and the time it took for them to take my order, prepare my food and hand me my order took approximately 10-15 minutes.My order was correct and delicious! I ordered three teriyaki chicken bowls, one with extra dark chicken, one with extra darkchicken and only broccoli, no other veggies and the last was a bowl with no veggies and dark chicken and every bowl was correct,and had extra sauce(which I wasn?t charged for even though there is a sign depicting sauces are a extra). The service wasfriendly, and quick even though it appeared that the cashier was in training. I prefer this location over the location on 51stand buckeye, the service and food is always on point! Thank you for an excellent lunch as usual. Read more
Great fast food option for some fresh Japanese bowls! Ordered online and picked up 10 mins later. Had the Shisito Bowl and the... Avocado Citrus Bowl. Both were really good. Read more
Spicy Steak Broccoli bowl is amazing ???????? regular size is perfect and filling. The ratio of streak, broccoli, rice and sauce... is perfect. Friendliest staff! I suggest online order or phone if in a rush during lunch hours. They have a program to $5 offafter purchasing a certain amount of bowls. No more Eegee?s frozen drinks since they moved to Phoenix, which is great. Read more
Brainless cashiers who don?t listen and argue with you instead. I ordered a large size and got small. I told the cashier I... ordered large and she tried to tell me what I ordered then tried to recharge me for another whole size. ?????? Just make itright the first time. Read more
