just had the worst experience at samurai. we have came here for years and always liked it... until today. we were sat at the circle fireplace... where we were forgotten about. literally. we watched every table and every person at the bar get their food before us even those who got the half an hour after us. after we tried to leave after 50 minutes we were told we can't and they were making our food now. 10 minutes later our food did show up but the fact we watched...read full review
Don't waste your $ here, this place is terrible, the teriyaki Chicken was so dry and bland, the thick noodle sea food was crap, far from "FRESH", I can get better food at Macdonalds. our server had cero knowledge of what's on the menu, she also ended up charging extra and not offering any solutions after messing with my order.
oh and make sure you check your recipe so they don't over charge you for your meal.
DON'T WAIST YOUR TIME AND $ HERE.
Great food! The sake selection was amazing! Definitely recommend the soft shell crab!

The ambiance is enhanced by the beautiful fire pit in the center of the restaurant, making it a cozy spot for dining. Overall, Samurai Restaurant remains a recommended destination for those seeking authentic Japanese cuisine in Lake Tahoe, especially for its fresh, simple, and delicious sushi at reasonable prices. While some customers feel the food is a bit overpriced for the quality and portions, the friendly service and nice ambiance still make it worth a visit. The sashimi appetizer offers good value, and the fried banana with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge is a popular dessert option in the area.
