“We went based off of these reviews and it didn't disappoint at all. It was amazing we will be back very soon.“

“When it comes to hibachi dining, Samurai Cuisine truly shines where it counts most—the food. From the moment the chef lit up the grill, it was clear we were in for a flavorful experience.

The steak was cooked to perfection, tender with a slight char that gave every bite a satisfying depth. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, and the shrimp were fresh and expertly grilled—no rubbery texture here. The standout for me was the hibachi fried rice, rich with flavor, a touch of garlic, and just the right amount of sear from the grill. The grilled veggies added a nice balance, cooked to a perfect crisp-tender state.

Unfortunately, the drinks didn’t match the quality of the meal. The cocktails tasted watered down and lacked the balance or punch you’d expect from a well-stocked hibachi bar. It wasn’t enough to ruin the night, but it was definitely a weak spot in an otherwise strong experience.“

“Love the fresh food and variety. It’s delicious every time!“

“They have a great crew of associates at the kojis on Memorial Blvd. I want say thank you for such great customer service.“

“Blink and you’ll miss it. Just remember its right next to Verizon. This place is a gem! It’s a Japanese/Korean spot. The Bulgogi is out of this world!!! The Sushi rolls are huge and the sashimi was so fresh and tender. Every bite was just scrumptious. I wish I had an extra stomach for more! The host was super sweet and attentive. Definitely will be back for the al a carte style menu for a taste of just what you’re craving and pairing it with sushi rice is just fantastic. A must try. Will be here often.“
