Samurai has upped their game from a couple years ago when all the rolls seemed to taste the same. Last two times I went, we commented to each other about how it was really good. Their yellowtail is the freshest arround, and they have a wide selection of sushi and other options for the sushi-challenged.

I have been coming to this restaurant for as long as I can remember. The food is usually very good, and that is exactly why today hurt as much as it did. I stopped in with a friend, and a little into our meal two more friends arrived. There was an open table for four right next to us. We politely asked the manager if we could move so we could all sit together. The answer was no, because we were seated at a two-person table and they planned to seat four at the open table. Not even five seconds later, the manager looked straight at me and seated two people there. It felt like a slap in the face.
I even offered to give up my seat for another couple and keep waiting. They would not consider it. A simple and honest “we cannot do that” would have been disappointing but understandable. Instead, we were given a reason that was contradicted immediately, as if our request and our business did not matter. That kind of behavior is rude, unnecessary, and it ruined what should have been a relaxed meal with friends.
What made it worse is that I watched the same favor granted to someone else minutes later. Another guest asked to switch, and they allowed it. The inconsistency was obvious. It felt like there were favorites, and we were not on that list. My money spends the same as anyone else’s, yet we were treated as if we were an inconvenience. I like the food and the atmosphere, but the service today was cold, dismissive, and unprofessional.
The staff on duty were short with us and brushed off reasonable questions. This is about basic hospitality and respect. You can say no and still treat people with courtesy. You can enforce a policy without talking down to guests or giving them the runaround. Instead, we got clipped answers, eye rolls, and a manager who would not own the decision. They could have put our friends on the waitlist for a four-top, taken our number, moved us when available, or at least given a realistic timeline. Instead, we were told one thing and watched the opposite happen in real time.
I have recommended this place to many people because the menu is solid. After today, I will think twice. If this is how they treat regulars who make a polite and reasonable request, I worry about first-time guests. Good food can only carry a restaurant so far. Respect and honesty matter just as much, and both were missing today. I hope management addresses this and raises the standard for how guests are treated.
Sushi Samurai is always a win. Whether having sushi or delicious full size entrees this restaurant is always excellent. Plus the servers, management, and owners are welcoming and friendly.

First time here. Nice menu, very clean and comfortable inside. Friendly staff. Miso soup and sushi were both great. One sushi roll was a bit too large around and fell apart, but tasted good. We will certainly return.

OH MY GOSH!! Best sushi ever. We love Sushi Samari. We’ve been coming here for 12 years now. My entire family loves the sushi here. The painful part is when it’s only my husband and I to narrow down to ONLY 3-4 rolls. I can’t their rolls are the absolute best.

Times have definitely changed, I've been coming here since they opened. I was there with my kids one day, I've given business to this place and yet no respect always bad attitude like they hate their life. I now to to Sharaku on haggerty Ken the manger always greets me upon entering the place. They'll never see me at samurai . Such a shame to lose a high paying customer like myself

Came here because I saw Annabelle Saco review and say she loved it. Of course I had to try it. Went with a friend and got the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Never got a “enjoy” or “how’s everything tasting” the entire time we were there. We then asked for drinks and the waiter said “we don’t have that” and just walked away not asking if we wanted anything else… Food was okay but other places in Bloomfield hills are better.

This was the most disappointing and disturbing sushi experience I have ever had. Long story short there was mold on my food. My wife took a picture and you can see the fur if you look closely! This was after we experienced no kids menu, one menu was left with us a family of 4, they never asked us if we wanted drinks just brought us water, and was unable to follow the simplest of requests for our 2 year old that we asked because there were no kids options. After showing them the mold, they told me I was incorrect and that the inside of the vegetable was black. This was not what this was. It was black with a furry white top. I’m more disappointed at the fact that they completely dismissed it and wouldn’t say a word to us after the incident. The manager didn’t even come to the table. They just took our food like we were trying to steal from them or something. It was suppose to be my birthday dinner…. No apology, nothing. After we walked out I went back in and asked to speak to a manager who just dismissed everything and said “you must know more than me about food.”
