Ordered spicy tuna roll and shrimp tempura for lunch. Tuna was chewy and did not taste fresh at all. Ended up with upset stomach. Not going there again.

I had an eel teriyaki and a coconut boba. The eel tasted too strong with the sauces and the rice helped balance it out plus the broccoli but they didn't give out iced waters in the beginning, so I was just relying on mostly the rice to adjust to the eel which was really good but in another perspective, they didn't completely remove all the bones and scales cause I still had some in my mouth, and ultimately just ate through it. The coconut boba was unique. I was expecting much more of a ice creamy coconut milk drink but it was more like every smooth coconut juice that was very nutty. The boba was pretty plain as well and also, expected it to be at least a bit sweetened but unfortunately, it was not that. The space was really nice to dine in but definitely needs to be cleaned more, specifically the dark brown tables than the glossy light brown ones. One of the tables was also pretty wobbly as well. The head staff I think was very friendly and caring. He was able to make us feel welcome and accommodate to our needs well and new who ordered what specifically. Definitely would go again for him at least but order something else and try to get seats at the better tables.

A small spot near Boston Chinatown with really good sushi and sashimi. I came from New York so this is a pretty good sushi spot for a quick lunch. Sushi and sashimi were both really fresh and aesthetically pleasing. The owners and staff here are all friendly and welcoming, definitely would come again.

I just popped in cause it was open and happy I gave it a shot. The food was made on the spot I don’t think I waited longer than 4 minutes for each plate. The shrimp shumai was so fresh and not fried or too breaded. The lunch sushi deal came with soup and 2 rolls for $11! Also fried the avocado salad which was njce and light. 5/5 and the workers were all pleasant and happy to serve. Will definitely visit once I’m back in Boston

The ingredients are very fresh, the mango sushi tastes so good and is unforgettable. The street view is very beautiful at night!

I would rather starve then spend my hard earned money at this place. You should treat your customers with respect no matter what color they are or what they're wearing. Very rude person working at the register today. Seriously do better.

This restaurant is my number one restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to this restaurant. everytime I I need a good meal, this is the place that comes instantly to my mind. very good and diverse food and a rich cuisine.helpful staff, and pleasant spirit. And very important, the cost is modest. I suggest this spot with no doubt.

The place offers a large range of delicious food. I like dining here. Staff members are always nice, prices are fair and the spot is always well organised.

Samurai Express is special for me because of the great hospitality I received from the business owner himself Mr. Andy. Back in 2017, the first time I entered the restaurant looking for some vegetarian options. I had sore throat that day & the business owner Mr. Andy suggested me to have a soup that would make my soar throat feel better. Upon my request he agreed to make me a vegetarian soup but, he made it in such a special way with ginger & garlic and that soup really made me feel much better! Thank You Mr. Andy for great hospitality!

Stopped by for carry out for a quick dinner during Covid, everything else seemed to be closed. The two people working were nice and the food was good, solid, standard, tasty, "American Palate-Type" far eastern food. I was very happy with the portion, price, and taste of my General Tso Chicken dinner and have no problem recommending it.
