The food is excellent, and the service is always amazing! The menu is extensive, and we love trying new things. The prices are very reasonable, and we go pretty often. I highly recommend this place!!
I've been craving samurai's sushi for ever. Their mortal kombat and pink lady rolls are mandatory. Service is great and it's a great location. If u like sushi or if u don't just come try it.
The food is amazing. The lunch specials are great, the service is good. Great investment.
Amazing food and customer service! Will be coming back again. You have to try the mortal combat roll. It really is my favorite and recommend it to anyone and everyone who will come with us here.
Delicious Food. Everything on the menu. Nice friendly service. Call in ahead of time for to go orders. You'll have to pay on the phone but that just makes it easier to pick up your order. Nice and clean inside. I ordered a roll and some clams. $21. Worth it.
Great food and amazing service! had the Samurai lunch box and for the $15 it's not only well served but very fresh! Truly recommend the Melissa Roll was super tasty!
It is a favorite of me and my partner. There are so many sushi roll combinations, they have the full extent of their menu taped on the walls. It seems like many were customer inspired or customer favorites. The service is always prompt, polite, and the food is awesome.
We absolutely love the food here! Everything fresh and we love how they opened up the restaurant... everything looks great . Bright and clean. As you can see I always rave about this location! The warrior, and the Harley Davidson are the two absolute best rolls ever. Definitely try them!
