As a former resident of Seattle, now residing in Aberdeen, I have found it incredibly difficult to find notable establishments in the Grays Harbor area, that aren’t the typical ‘Sysco Food Truck’ type of dwelling.Samurai Sushi Bar and Grill is one of the few establishments in this area that I frequent and it always exceeds my expectations.The menu offers many dishes in addition to its namesake- Sushi, which are each delectable in their own right . A few of my favorites are the Yakisoba noodles and Chicken Teriyaki. My 6year old LOVES Samurai and is the only restaurant she requests with excitement, which is a BIG deal, as she is incredibly picky. Some of her favorites are the Edamame, Ramen, Teriyaki and Yakisoba.The quality of products used are high, the presentation is stunning, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you’ve had a pleasant dining experience. The atmosphere is modern and warm, you can tell that they genuinely care about your dining experience as a whole, from their attire, to their dishes (like the hot tea pots!) and decor.I HIGHLY recommend you go to this place. Thank me later ;)

Great Sushi (though I noticed that the fish portions were smaller this time). Service is friendly and attentive. Small dining room. Good beer.
For my kiddo's 7th Birthday we let him choose dinner. He picked Samurai Sushi and asked me to write this review and give a million bajillion stars! The servers were so kind and even put candles in his wasabi, gave him a special birthday treat and the table behind us bought him mochi for dessert. He had his first taste of sushi here as a baby and it's been our go to for special occasions ever since."This is the best sushi place I've ever been in. The sushi people are like my family to me." -O (7)Kid-friendliness: So it may not be every kids first choice but they made my kid feel so special on his 7th Birthday! He loves the raw fish but they have options pickier kids would go for too.
I can’t tell which was better- service or food! Ask for Ricky, truly an expert at hospitality. Great recommendation on the Avacado Boat!

Hands down the best sushi restaurant in Washington. The service is fantastic and the food is delicious! My personal favorite is the Angry Tuna roll. The Fire Bomb or Avocado Boat are great, tasty starters too.

I have consumed a ton of Sushi and Sashimi. I was introduced to it when visiting Japan on business several times. I have found that a lot of the Sushi bars in the States are a little under par but most are edible and sort of friendly. Samuaru Sushi Bar is the best all around shop I have been to since the mid 80's. I have eaten at Samurai probably 10 times and have never had anything but praise for the staff and especially the chefs.

Samurai is, for me, shrimply the best in the harbor. Small, cute restaurant with friendly staff. I love the bento boxes, although they're a little too much food for me.

Food was excellent! If I had to complain it would only be that my Una-don didn't come with pickled beets! Everything else was delicious!
