Got takeout and the rice on the sushi was very stale. I was waiting for it to finish so it wasn't sitting out or anything like that. The California roll was also strangely sweet and the spicy tuna was overloaded with salt. The chefs I usually see there were gone with new people so not sure if that was the cause of the problem, but just disappointed with the drop in quality with the increase in price.
Food is good, the complimentary salad as a starter, and apple desert is a nice touch. The reason for my low review was the service. Not even 20 minutes after we were served the server brought the check. We never asked for a check and we were in the middle of our meal. It’s so uncomfortable eating while the check is just sitting at the table. Wish I can rate higher, but I can’t, because of that experience. I won’t be coming back.
Me and a friend went on a Friday night we got lucky and where sat right away but people coming in had 45 minute wait times. At first looking at the menu we thought the prices where way too high. After ordering the quality of food matched the pricing. The food was not only delicious, fresh, but also beautiful. The portions are nicely sized and the fish wasn't scarce! My only complaint was the service. I don't know if the wait staff was overwhelmed but they didn't really check on us and they looked miserable. They where nice when talking to us but for the prices I was hoping for better service. Food was a 5 service a 3.
Highly recommend this place I never would go there because they have mops sitting outside on the side of the building so I never went in until a friend said come eat there and I said I don't know the place looks sketchy with the mops out there looks are deceiving best sushi in the high desert.. They should move their cleaning supply because you can see it from outside when you drive by. Highly recommend this place though very clean service is amazing they always give you a little free appetizer and a little free dessert best sushi in the high desert.
It was our first time earing at this place. It was a great experience ...service was good and the food was delicious. We are planning to go back soon.
Samurai sushi has always been the spot to go to. Commitment and dedication piece of art. Thank you Brandon for the extra dishes you provided, God bless
Great care goes into the presentation of plates. Good quality ingredients that stand out. They are generous on the portion, but with salmon sushi pieces its cut a little too awkward.Like many other businesses , they are understaffed on waitresses. Leading to minor delay on things during busy times. Otherwise, recommend a visit.
This is just my favorite place in the desert to eat sushi!! There is no better sushi out there around here. Always so satisfied. Very nice and polite as well. If you haven’t tried this place. Do so, you won’t go back to any other place after you try it here!
Update: Thanks for the response! I’ll definitely utilize your online ordering next time! Changing my rating.I want to give 5 stars because the food is excellent! Dining in is always great but the to go and phone system is trash! No one ever answers the phone and on the rare occasion that some one actually does answer it’s on the 10th attempt of calling. If you want to go, the best option is going in to order and then waiting an hour in the parking lot for your order. Perhaps it’s time to allow a third party service for to go orders.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have been ordering to go from this place as my go to sushi place. I just got married and wanted to share this place with my husband. Unfortunately we decided to dine in and this has to be the worst dine in experience I have ever had. We waited 45 min to an hour to be seated, but we were happy to do so because I loved the sushi here. After being seated, we were seated for 30 minutes and no one came to take a drink order. Not even waters. While we were waiting to finally give our drink orders (which we knew from the moment we sat down) a kid spilled the soy sauce container. Things happen, but the restaurant failed to properly clean this spot. They merely wiped it with a towel. Shortly after, the waitress slipped on this spot, as it was not properly cleaned. While she slipped, she slid (very forcefully) onto my big toe that was finally healing from a previous injury. I was in so much pain I was crying for 10 minutes straight. They move us to a new table, all the while still not even taking our drink order. Once in the new table, we finally get our drink orders taken. 40 minutes after being seated. After waiting almost an hour to be seated. The rolls I loved were no longer great. They came out slow and were literally falling apart and filled excessively with the cheap fillers. The mango chicken roll was absolutely disgusting. Soggy roll topped with over cooked chicken. Everything else was meh. Spicy garlic edamame was still fire tho. The real reason I am upset though is they offered nothing to apologize for ignoring us for 40 minutes *and* injuring me. My toe nail is definitely going to be dead after that hit. It's still THROBBING while I write this review. I will never be back, they lost a loyal customer who has easily spent thousands here.
