Samurai Japanese Restaurant

We had a long wait time for our reservation. They gave us complimentary appetizer and a discount. Food could've been more flavorful in my opinion.

Now Sofia which may not have even been her name check cameras of who was taking calls at 7:33pm the so called manager on duty which she lied about being manager lol took my order wrong about 3 times over the phone then when she got frustrated decided to put me on a “brief hold” she called it then before she could said “on my god” like her mess up was my fault definitely unprofessional nasty lying of an employee yall have I’m disgusted honestly would never eat here again if the employees nasty the food definitely is. I might just come in and have a chat with miss sofia

We made a reservation a week in advance for a birthday party, expecting a great experience. Unfortunately, it was anything but. We sat at our table for 35 minutes without being greeted, no drinks, no appetizers—nothing. Despite watching other tables receive service, we were completely ignored.

After waiting far too long, we finally decided to get up and leave, and still, not a single staff member acknowledged us. It was incredibly disappointing, especially for a special occasion. We understand restaurants can be busy, but basic hospitality and customer service should never be overlooked. This was unacceptable, and we won’t be returning. We were trying to support a local restaurant as we usually go to Walnut Creek to eat out but yea that was a disappointment.

Let me start by saying this place can do much better in terms of atmosphere and service. The food wasn't bad but wasn't great either.
The bartender was and is the worst. Don't order a martini, you will get ripped off. I sat at the bar and asked him to use the measuring cup because my drink was short. He insisted his 3count was perfect until he remade my drink using correct measurements , then the drink came out perfect. I continued to watch him make drinks for tables and he ripped each one of them off using his 3count. The server even mentioned how the drinks were short, he refused to remake these drinks. Don't drink here!! You've been warned. It's bad enough the drinks are expensive, but to get ripped off too... insane!!

The drinks were poorly made, the ice pieces in the pina colada were so big that the liquid did not rise, the sushi was very small, at least the service was good

Made a reservation a week advance for my son's birthday. We we're sat a few mins after arrival but after waiting 35 mins with out any acknowledgment from any servers, no water or even a “I'll be right with you” we decided to get up and walk out. We frequent a lot of restaurants in and out of our area and consider ourselves foodies as we love to try new establishments, from high end to small family restaurants, but being an Antioch Native, I was hoping to have a good experience in our local town. Maybe it was just an off night for them but I hope they work on their service to give their customers a better experience.

Our server was great. Our cook was great. The food was just "alright", not bad but not great. The women's bathroom was clean BUT smelled really bad. It needs a GOOD air freshener.

Loved the atmosphere and the chicken wings the most. The mushroom soup broth was flavorful and light.

We didn't like the salad dressing but everything else including the sushi was great. Loved the show and the establishment was very clean. The prices were great too.

I took my wife and friends for a birthday celebration. My wife kept her coa on throughout because the restaurant was so cold.

The chef was excellent. The tuna was amazing.

I reserved a table many days in advance, and even callex on the day to confirm the reservatipn But we still had to share a table with strangers for the tapsnyaki experience. At no time was I informed that we would have to share a table . We were just let to the table. I was very uncomfortable with the other party that shared our table who had not observed the restaurant's dress code. I was very embarrassed. I am not happy.
