Took the family here for all you eat sushi and I would say of all of the restaurants in this model Samurai is now our favorite. Service was fast and friendly and the food was great. Overall we had an excellent experience. We will definitely be back.

Came for a last minute Valentine's Day Dinner with my wife and son. Didn't have to wait long despite no reservation on a Holiday. Service was good and food was great. Lots of Sauce!

We appreciated being seated without a reservation and the friendliness of staff. However, the staff may have had too many tables to support because the timing of food was off and there was a long delay getting the check. The food was ok but not outstanding and sushi pieces were enormous. I would rather have really fresh tasty sushi that is properly bite sized than massive overstuffed pieces that don’t allow the ingredients to shine. I don’t think we will be back.

I ordered the sushi for two. For under $40 not including tax or delivery, the amount was amazing and it certainly did not compromise the quality if the rolls. I got two crunch rolls, one pink lady roll, and a shrimp tempura roll. The deal came with spring roll and two salads.I would recommend this deal too anyo e on a budget craving sushi with a late night snack left over!

AYCE Lunch menu is the best one out of all sushi buffets. The ingredients are better ( example shrimp is not the cheap kind other places use) they sushi uses better higher quality fish, the staff care and pleasant and fun! I highly recommend for groups. Will need to try their teppan/hibachi next time!
The place's cleanliness is just passable. Atmosphere is a bit dim. The food is so-so but the hibachi chef is enjoyable. Not sure if the price is worth it.

The food was good. The atmosphere was nice and spacious. The service, unfortunately, wasn't the best. Our host didn't know much about the menu items, and it took her forever to bring our bill.

I think this location used to be Osaka. We were pleasantly surprised to find they serve All You Can Eat lunch or dinner menus, as well as their regular menu options. I will mention that their Sashimi slices were decent in size. And, their menu specifies that you must eat the items you order, including the rice, if you're eating off the AYCE menu.

My family and I enjoy sushi. We usually try to find AYCE places since it's a better "bang for our buck" with the amount we order if we did a la carte. The location was previously a different asian/sushi restaurant, so I wasn't expecting much. The decor was nice, service was nice, floors were strangely sticky? The speed of food was a little slow, we did a variety of pretty much the entire menu (excluding hand rolls). I recommend skipping on the fried items. Took too long, and anything that needed to be cooked was overcooked. But the rolls/sashimi/sushi items were big and delicious. Good variety with items with and without fish. Def worth a try. Would come here again.They do offer 2 menus at 2 prices for lunch vs dinner for AYCE.Parking: Limited number of spots at the restaurant. Probably hard to find on a weekend or dinner. But it is located in the lot of other big name stores so if ya don't mind the walk through of another parking lot, always parking available.Wheelchair accessibility: Enough room and ramp for wheelchairs

I've never been here before and accidentally ended up here when my previous plan for a different AYCE sushi didn't pan out. But I'm so glad it worked out this way. The server we had was super nice and attentive. Let's be honest, if you don't eat 100+ pieces of sashimi and AYCE sushi what are you doing. With that being said this place has THE BEST slices of sashimi for AYCE you could get in MN. The pieces are super thick and the fish is very fresh. I will say in terms of other food it's not as many options but I'm here for the sushi anyway. The regular rolls are also HUGE so make sure you order less than you think you need. All that for $29 is so worth it.
Worst sushi I had don’t eat
