“Great selection on menu. Sushi was delicious as was the cucumber salad . We will be back .“

“This review for Samurai Sam's on Greenway is way overdue. Ive been a customer at this location for years. Whenever I want something healthy AND delicious I know I can get my cravings met at Samurai Sam's. There are too many wonderful dishes to mention (check their menu), including kid-friendly items, plus they are happy to customize every order. Their teriyaki sauce is fantastic, and you can buy a bottle to take home. It’s a very casual place in the Safeway shopping center on Greenway and Tatum. I highly recommend this location for a fresh, healthy and tasty meal for the entire family. The staff are all great and prices are reasonable too. I usually eat-in but they have a booming take-out business.“

“love the food and the staff 😊“

“We are no strangers to some of the best food there and have dined with a few James Beard winners. Some of the best yellowtail and salmon sashimi we have ever had. This place should have a line wrapped around the building. Very impressed!!“

“amazing food.great service even met the owner!“

“10/10 sushi, don’t skip this place!“

“Yoshi's Fresh Asian Grill is one of my favorite restaurants and I highly recommend it. The drive thru service is quick and everything is great. The home made sauces and attention to detail makes this a great and healthier option compared to burger drive thru“

“wonderful food and excellent service“

“I highly recommend it very clean comfortable atmosphere great personnel. The sushi chef Rico, was friendly, helpful, creative in suggesting ideas. I had a really good experience, i was there by myself yet had much company. I recommend it to anybody I can’t wait to go back probably as soon as next week. It is very affordable and really really good sushi I had the Fresh water Eeal roll and they made me a Crunchyroll with real Crab also enjoyed their sushi rice. They had really cold beer. It’s definitely a place I recommend with great music, oh my gosh great great music ask for Rico’s music. Lol“

“its early in the morning and i heavily crave sushi, takoyaki and other japanese dishes. I just want to share my experience here at King Salmon before, the place is really nice its quite elegant and disciplined its like an zen garden idk how to say this but it has this silent elegance that lingers around the place, then food is so fresh like woooh, top tier quality food, they serve it hot, cold what ever your pallet needs. exceptional service and fresh ingredients and rest rooms are nice and clean which is a huge +!! good food, good service and nice people, based on my experience before its fair to rate it 5/5 and other customers will agree! ill be back“

“I’ve been coming here for many years (since it was Mr. Sushi) and have never been disappointed. I mostly order off the Happy Hour menu and always have to have the extremely delicious cucumber salad. My favorite sushi roll is the Blue Flame. Yummy! The atmosphere and service is friendly and I like that the clientele is diverse. I’ve seen office workers come in for lunch during the week, and I’ve seen families with kids in the evenings and on weekends.“

“Dine in experience is definitely better than ordering online. I would not recommend ordering online. There's too much confusion with the ordering portal and confusing communication. And I paid for extra things that didn't exist lol... So if you want to eat here, I definitely recommend but just go in and dine in instead. It is a really nice little spot. ❤“

“This is by far my favorite sushi place. Don't be fooled by the hole-in-the-wall vibe. The food is great, the prices are cheap, and most of all I love that the owners are waiting on you and cooking for you. I was afraid this small restaurant might not survive Covid but I'm super happy that they did. Let's all support good quality inexpensive mom and pop restaurants whenever we can!“

“🍣❤️ good sushi 🍣 good food 🍱“

“The ramen and curry was amazing!!!“

“My all time favorite terryaki chicken spot... Down to one location but still pretty close to the early 2000's experience... Best sauce.. side salad... Chicken comes slightly charred and that and the sauce is what elevates Tokyo Express over chain places.“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal,drinks and dessert. As first timers our server, gave good explanatory service about the menu and the lunch special was on point. Will definitely return“

“Went in and got some take out for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this place. The bartender who took my order was extremely friendly and shared lots of info about the restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, we'll definitely be coming back here for dinner.My lunch sushi was amazing! My boyfriend is a chef and has spoiled my taste buds a bit and I could really taste all the high quality/house made ingredients that really set them apart.“

“Seriously so good! The spicy ramen is amazing and I’m obsessed with how tasty it was. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“So happy you serve Eegee's!!!! My yakisoba bowl was super yummy too!!“

“I’ve been coming to this Samurai Sam’s location for a few years now and I am never disappointed as the food quality and portion size is abundant, and the service is always top-notch; especially from Ericka who always goes out of her way to make customers feel welcome. Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots in the Valley.“

“revolving sushi bar (think conveyor belt where you sit and the food comes to you!)- awesomeness. come off the street, pick a table, sit, eat - done. no fuss, prices are color coded. hot green tea or beer, you call the shots. sushi without the pretension.“

“I have been coming to Bop and Roll for as long as I can remember, and its crazy to see how much they’ve grown. It is always lovely to come in and enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen, some sushi, or some of the many other delicious menu items. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and they always make my experience incredible. I love coming here because it is always so peaceful and delicious. 10/10 will always come here.“

“A lovely and chic vibe! We will definitely go back!“

“Real omakase in the desert! 🍣 The quality of the food and the creativity of the chef’s menu definitely make it worth the price. This is the real deal—not one of those “fake” omakase experiences. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. If you’re looking for an authentic and creative omakase experience, you will not be disappointed!“

“Great restaurant chefs choice 9 course dinner was wonderful!“

“It is worth every penny: The hood sauce is absolutely immaculate and by far one of the most wonderful flavors I've had in a long time. If you're looking to support a local business, I'd highly recommend giving Hoodbachi a chance.I sincerely hope this kitchen can evolve into a brick and mortar store someday soon.“

“I love it OMGOSH is so good...California rolls and my mitso soup 😋😋..great price 👍“

“Delicioso sushi muy diferente a todos los demás. Super higiénicos. Recomendadísimo.“

“I always try to get their steamed buns whenever I see them at any event or festival! Incredible taste and very good service! The prizes are also very reasonable and the food is soooo good and very cute. I wish they had a physical location so I could have their food more often! 10/10.“

“We LOVED our experience!!! Loved the food and drinks and service!!! Absolutely delicious 👍🏼👍🏼“

“This place was the BEST unexpected find ever. I loved every minute here. From the atmosphere to the hospitality. my rolls were HUGE and worth every dime. Kevin was GREAT!!!!! #SupportSmallBusiness. 10 out of 10 would recommend to ANYONE!!!! Return customer for LIFE!!!!“

“The food quality was good but the dining room needs updating. Unfortunately, there were tiny ants crawling on our table so we moved to the sushi bar and witnessed the chef making sushi cough a few times right over the food he was preparing without covering his mouth.“

“Love this place. Delicious daily fresh food. Super yummy!!!!!“
