Food and service is excellent. Love what they offer. I only wish the plaza they are in was busier. It makes the shop feel isolated.

Me and a friend went and we both liked it, the portions are good and the staff are pretty nice, but I do recommend they give the place a makeover and put more decorations up to brighten up the place

My son and I are new to the area and found this restaurant online. We noticed no cars in the parking lot which raised my suspicion a little bit we tried it anyway. I was shocked to see how little food we were given for a little over $40. I know I shouldn’t said something and asked for my money back but I didn’t want to spoil the dinner for my son. The amount we received was not worth the money and we won’t be going back.

I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews. It's unbelievable. To begin with, the restaurant is filthy from the moment I walk in. The bathroom looks like it's never been cleaned in years worse than that at a run-down gas station. The food was extremely overpriced; the rice was very wet and soggy. Food was subpar, and no service existed in this place, yet they still expected a tip. The food tasted like it was old and reheated. The noodle soup tasted like the cheap Raman you buy for a dollar. I spent $120 on this place for my family and will never return. Again, it's astounding how this place has anything above a 1-star rating. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I frequented this place while in University. I live in Phoenix now, and I've never found another place like Samurai. I love their korokke, the atmosphere is cozy, and I can't wait to hopefully visit again soon. 💙

I'm leaving to eat from that place and the truth is, don't spend your money there. At the beginning of arriving, they discriminated against me and a friend for being Mexican. Terrible service, they made us ugly faces when we asked for something and the food is actually not good, it's very greasy. and it tastes a lot like rancid or old oil, I really don't recommend it.
This feels like a place that is struggling due to being out of the way. Their food is totally good but it was super dead when I went in and prices feel low for what you get.

The sashimi and sushi rolls tasted a little fishy, indicating maybe not as fresh? I'm inclined to agree that the food is not what it used to be from years past. Prices used to be lower, but now higher, so not quite the deal it used to be.

I've driven past Samurai for years and decided to finally give it a shot given the reviews on Google and as much as I hate to say it I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Samurai's website does a really good job of portraying a nice well kept restaurant that serves beautifully crafted sushi rolls and various other Asian dishes, the reality however is that Samurai is a small hole in the wall with limited seating and looks like it could use a really good deep cleaning. Samurai's staff was very friendly and helpful and I loved interacting with them but the food and atmosphere leave a lot to be desired. I ordered a spicy salmon Don, a Mexican roll, a deep fried Las Vegas, a catapillar roll, a plate of salmon sashimi, an order of chicken yakisoba and, some miso soups. I initially felt ok with the $112 price tag until the food arrived, I was surprised to see so many paper plates and couldn't believe how small the rolls were or how poorly cut the sashimi was with bits of skin still on the fish; the yakisoba had no flavor and the miso soup is clearly just an instant packet. There are so many amazing sushi restaurants in Tucson that I can comfortably say you should pass on Samurai and spend your money elsewhere for a quality good tasting well presented meal.

Ginger pork bento is the way to go. Surprisingly their hamachi nigiri is very spot on as well.

Fresh sushi. Amazing customer service. I went in with my daughter today and we were the only ones in there at the moment. But I would highly recommend this place. And the prices are great. Spent around $26 for two sushi rolls and two drinks!
