Samurai Japanese Restaurant

Fantastic sushi - best in the Villanova area, hands down. Little pricy, but worth it

For $18 I got the pork katsu bento box. The filet was very small.

First impressions, trying to park was a bit confusing I still don't know if parking where I did is right. there is a small area around the restaurant that seems like it could be parking but no lines or guidance out front. Also this place is really small looking on the outside. As soon as I walked in it felt really awkward.i almost walked back out because everyone was just staring at me. Finally after what seemed like forever the sushi chef greeted me. When I was seated the waitress took my order and served me promptly. The miso soup was delicious. The edamame tasted fresh. The prices are a bit more than what I'm use to. I also had the sushi and sashimi lunch combo. The fish tasted very fresh and cleaned very well. Which explains the price. I would come back. Give it a try.

Parking: Unsure of the actual parking situation. Nothing is marked it was weird for me parking in front of the restaurant

Good food, service is great. Everything tastes fresh.
More of a lunch spot in terms of atmosphere. Would go on a week night, but not a weekend outing or date night.

If I could give zero stars I would. My gf and I used to go here all the time and then they were bought by someone else. Ever since then the quality of the food has changed entirely and it sucks. Tonight we ordered takeout and when I got home I opened my container of sushi to bad salmon. It smelled super fishy, it was very discolored (sushi should not be a milky or dull color), and I bit into it and almost threw up. My bf also got salmon and his was an entirely different color. So if you want to get food poisoning from bad fish or sushi that is horrible quality and tastes bad go here!

I recently dined here and it was an excellent experience. We ordered a variety of dishes, including seafood kimchee soup, mango shrimp sushi, and a bento box. Everything was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. The seafood kimchee soup had the perfect balance of flavors, and the mango shrimp sushi was a delightful combination of sweet and savory. The bento box was a well-rounded meal with a variety of tasty options.What added to the overall enjoyment of the meal was the friendly hostess. She was welcoming and attentive, making the dining experience even more pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant for its delicious food and warm hospitality.

They redid the entire menu recently, and honestly it’s not as good as it was before. Not sure if it’s new management or what. This was my favorite place with my favorite rolls and now they don’t have any of the same ones. Used to order from here once a week at least, now I only order from Mikado or Tao One.

We ordered take out - there was a fly on our tuna pizza, I called and the mgmt couldn’t have been more rude. I will never order from them again- the FOOD HAS bugs in it. I called and they said - “deal with door dash”.

The woman working there tonight was super rude. I have never written a review for anything ever but her service was laughably rude. They messed up our order, I came back to the restaurant, as I entered no one came over or looked at me and I said excuse me and a woman shouted “what?” At me. I told her I had called and was there to pick up the sauce they forgot and she continued to be very rude and kept fighting with me about the sauce and acting like I was an idiot for expecting sauce even though I had a whole conversation with someone on the phone who kept apologizing and told me to come and get the sauce. I basically was told to come back in to get what they messed up, I came in, got yelled at and then left with no hibatchi sauce. It was a bizzare experience. We have liked their food in the past but this soured our experience with this mediocre restaurant. Also their hibatchi meal should not be called hibatchi because it’s not.

Great quality sushi
