“ Delivery is quick. Sashimi slices are the perfect thickness (not super thin) and fresh (Mackeral was not fishy like other places). Miso soup was also good. ”
“ Food was excellent although they were crazy busy! Took care of our needs and turned tables like complete professionals! So impressed! What a great experience! They were able to seat all with ease! It was our granddaughters birthday and could not have asked for more! Thank you for an amazing Job! Unbelievable! ”
“ Friendly owners and staff, sushi and hibachi are always a staple for us! Sushi portions can ocassionally be a little on the small side, but always fresh and tasty! ”
“ Great sushi spot! Less expensive than Asagao up the street and the quality of the fish is pretty good. I've dined in once and the service was great, and the staff are always very friendly and efficient every time I come grab a takeout order. It has a basic sushi restaurant vibe, not huge on the inside but nice enough. It's a bit dark inside but honestly no complaints! ”
“ The food was great!! The chef was pretty good and abided by dietary restrictions. The floor staff was very attentive. I would return. One complaint!! Hibachi fried rice way overpriced for the portion size. It's a small spot which was fine . Communal tables. Would return. ”
“ Update - 01/2023 So, since my last review, the place has been renovated and the sushi quality has really improved. The birthday picture wall is gone. Sad, but the place looks so much better. It has a cool new vibe with colored LED lighting throughout. The place feels newer, cleaner, and more modern. The hibachi still tastes great and now this is a "go to" sushi place for us where more advanced sushi, like toro and Ikura, are recommended. There is also outdoor seating, which is nice. Parking is still in back if you don't find a place in front on the street. On weekends and holidays, the place can get busy at peak times, especially at the hibachis, so make reservations. They also have an online app for ordering if you prefer delivery or pickup. Service is always friendly and accommodating. Remember to tip well. ”
“ Haven't been here for awhile. But once we started to dine immediately regretted not coming here more often. Once you leave you'll be planning your next visit! ”
“ Update we've been ordering during Covid and the sushi is excellent. 4 stars. The service is good and the price is good. We have ordered about three times and have not been disappointed. I gave them another star. So good. Old review giving Samurai 3 stars, but all I had was the hibachi. I'll try the sushi and if it's good bill give them another star. Our friend had a party there and the service was great. The hibachi was good, and the chef put on a good show. They were very accommodating. You get a good amount of food for your money, and the prices are not terrible for sushi and Hibachi. ”
