This place is soo good! We really enjoyed our meal, the waitress was very good. It was clean too! We had the Thai tea, white wine and soda. The Thai tea was good and the wine is bogo. It was busy but they had our food out in a timely manner. We did have to wait for silverware. We had hibachi chicken, steak , shrimp, a bento box, fried rice and noodles. And the sampler appetizer. The sauces were all really good too! It cost $100 for the 4 of us. read more

Great food, great prices, and great staff. Food is fresh and hot, even with delivery. Highly recommend.

I visited Samurai Hibachi & Ramen for lunch yesterday and had a nice experience. I ordered the Japanese Katsu Curry. A thin tender filet of chicken was coated in a nicely crisp breading and sat on a bed of soft savory rice. A pool of rich flavorful curry gravy was filled with tender potatoes and carrots and soaked up nicely by the rice and chicken. read more

Payton was excellent in helping us build our own poke bowls, so kind and patient. Very good to be sure I did not get any sauce with sugar, since I avoid that. My seared tuna, shrimp soba noodle bowl came with 3 toppings of our choice. Harv's spicy tuna and crab hit the spot for him! Very filling and healthy! Great early dinner option. read more

10/10 Experience! My husband and I have tried several local hibachi spots, and this one stands out above the rest. The service was fantastic--Katherine was our server and she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and full of great recommendations. I have a shellfish allergy, and they had no problem accommodating me, which I really appreciated. We both ordered the hibachi: my husband had shrimp and chicken, and I had pork belly and chicken--everything was fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. We also shared the spring rolls, fried dumplings, and vegetable tempura--every bite was We did not have room for dessert but will try it next time. We can't wait to go back! read more

Last night was my first time visiting someone Samurai Hibachi and Ramen when you first walk in the atmosphere was very calm, but fun with the characters in Pokémon characters that displayed throughout the restaurant we started off with appetizer monkey brain and delicious appetizers that included a sampler appetizer plate, which was very delicious and afterward you have a choice of the hibachi which came in different meats and the Ramen noodles, which I chose the shrimp which was very tasty and delicious. I normally like to eat mine hot and spicy, but I forgot to ask for some chili sauce and we had the homemade Thai drink a little sweet, but it's nothing that's a little water couldn't bring it down, but other than that the service was spectacular. The was very helpful and very knowledgeable of what they were serving to you. They took their time and they explained to you as to what our party was getting.It was not that many people there went we arrived but as time went on, there was flooded of people coming in to let you know that the food is good because of the flood of People is coming back ,they served some chicken wings to all of us. They were so good till I had to order a takeout order of them for myself they're very delicious. I ordered three different flavors, barbecue teriyaki and a spicy but check out the menu that I'm posting on the underneath I'll give them five stars. I will give them 10 stars if I could but five is as high as it go. I will be returning my wife and I and we had a great time. read more

Samurai Hibachi & Ramen - Shrimp Hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The food here is always fresh, tasty and delicious. The service is fabulous! The ambiance is fun and welcoming, kid friendly and quite enjoyable and even though a casual restaurant the food exceeds expectations. You can get a variety of dishes, healthy options to choose or your norm "American" Japanese hibachi or ramen. Whatever you choose I think you'll be happy. My choice here is Tuna Tataki which was delicious, light and quite flavorful with a hint of spice. Also a Rainbow Ceviche Salad so light, tangy and delicious. Both freshly made and quite the delight!

Excellent food. We enjoyed our visit. The menu has so many options and the waiter was great allowing us to ad and subtract from the meal.

This place is really cool. I'm not into Anime, but they have a ton of Anime fixtures here (all for sale). The Unagi Bento Box was really good as was the Appetizer Sampler. If you like Sake, they have a decent selection here. I plan on coming here again for sure. read more

I forgot how much I love a good poké bowl--until today. I was heading to see the new Final Destination movie and didn't want to overdo it on theater snacks like I usually do. I was short on time, so I placed a takeout order from Samurai Hibachi & Ramen--and I'm so glad I did. Not only was my food ready and waiting when I arrived, but the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. That kind of service always makes a difference. I ordered a create-your-own poké bowl with brown rice, edamame, jalapeño, cilantro, hijiki seaweed, salmon, lime ponzu sauce, sesame seeds, crispy garlic, and pickled ginger. Everything was fresh, perfectly balanced, and seriously delicious. That lime ponzu sauce? I want it on everything now. I don't know when my next movie night will be, but I do know it's going to include dinner from Samurai. read more

Samurai Hibachi & Ramen - Tempura Bento, fried rice, fried dumplings, salad - Japanese Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Tried this new place today for a late lunch. Ordered hibachi steak with pork fried dumplings and salad for my sides, and ordered house soup as an extra. LOVED tge salad dressing! Also used it to dip my veggies in. Steak was tender, rice was great, and veggies were very tasty, too. House soup was a bit heavy flavored for me, but it was good. Maybe a beefy flavor vs a lighter chicken flavor. Don't get me wrong, it was good, just not my favorite. You must try it yourself and decide. Decorated restaurant is cute! Outdoor seating is available. Will be back again when I'm on that side of town. Yum yum sauce was good too, by the way! Server was very helpful and checked in on us frequently. read more

I don't give 5's very often, but this restaurant is a hidden treasure! It was my birthday, it was my mother and I I ordered the ceviche salad and a tempura bento box. Both were outstanding!! Tempura was perfect! Our waiter/waitress, helped each other with our order and bringing out our food. It was nice they helped each other, very nice to see! The waitress, I wish I could remember her name. She was exceptional. She bought me a fried cheese cake, which I sadly left on my table. I will absolutely come back to this place! And I hope I get the same waitress. read more

The pan fried dumplings were good and I got the shumai soup that was tasty. Hubby got a clear broth side. I had to put a little bit of my soup in his bowl to give it a little extra flavor, but good. For dinner we had the lemon pepper dry wings -they were a little salty so ask for some yum Yum sauce to dip it in. The garlic Parmesan wings were delicious. We also got a pork belly bowl. That was a little sweet, definitely delicious. We got the chocolate and Yuzu ice cream mochi and the yuzu was really good. I liked both, but husband said the yuzu was better Service was quick and friendly. The decor is fun anime. read more

This is my favorite place to eat at in town. The service is always fantastic, and the food quality is top notch. You can tell they really care about what they're making -- many of the ingredients come straight from Japan, and the quality really shows. I usually start with the chicken edamame, and then go for the chicken katsu with a side of noodles. Their Ramen and soups are great especially when it's cold out or you're feeling a little under the weather. The tea is also incredible. The staff are super friendly and know their stuff, so if you're not sure what to order, just ask. I'm not a big dessert guy but that fried cheesecake is really good. If you're into anime, the atmosphere is pretty cool too. You can tell there's real pride and passion behind everything here. read more

When you walk in you are greeted with a smile. What an amazing place to go to and enjoy delicious food. I tried the beef skewers and seaweed salad. It was delicious and the iced tea is good too. I always have great service and delicious food when going to samurai. The decor is one of a kind and very interesting to look at. Seating is comfortable. My family has been several times and the food is always wonderful. Service is amazing! Sometimes it can get busy so you might have to wait for a seat especially on the weekend. So try going early. My family has been to samurai for lunch and dinner before. The food and service was amazing. Restaurant is always clean and bathrooms we're clean when we were there. The bento boxes are pretty good, and I definitely got enough food. I will try to take pictures next time. We were just enjoying the food and wonderful service and I forgot. read more

I have been looking for a great Poke bowl since I moved to Florida. I have found it! I had an amazing Tuna Poke. The tuna was very fresh. I asked for the upgrade to fried rice for my base.

This was an impromptu stop for me as I was planning to just head home for lunch. But I noticed their grand opening signs as I pulled in to go to Walmart and decided to treat myself. I was greeted immediately upon entering, given a menu and invited to sit anywhere I wanted. They had a pretty expansive menu and some unique appetizers. I decided to start with the Chili Edamame. The first time I ever tried a spicy version like this was in Denver CO, so it's nice to see it landing on menus here too. For my entree I chose the Christmas Speciality poke bowl with soba noodles for the base. Everything was very fresh tasting and the presentation looked beautiful. I will definitely be back soon. read more

This is the best place for ramen in this area, highly recommended. They have a taste Japanese beer

Being from South Florida, for the price and service, you can't go wrong. Down south, we dine at Samurai, which is a Hibachi restaurant. The garlic-butter they use is just great! Is it healthy? Don't know, but it surely tastes awesome. This place is a small, but friendly kind of fast food Japanese place. The food is good and it's a 1/3 of the price of hat we are used to down in the Miami area. read more

Great food and ambience. Had their hibachi and poke bowl, both were yummy. Our waiter was nice, we will definitely be coming back.

Such a solid spot. Been in twice and everything we order is exceptionally executed. The prices are a nice quality to value ratio. It's super clean and the wait staff is super patient, friendly and helpful making for a great dining experience for a family of 5 with little kids. Jared has taken care of us both times and is fantastic. read more

Didn't have a great experience last night. the floors were super soaked and there was no sign up and I slid and couldn't catch myself running into the men's bathroom door as a waitress, the only one working there apparently didn't help me up, didn't do much but say "oh no, I'll get a sign. sorry for that" and kept making drinks for her pervious table. as we were ordering my kids ask for sweet tea and she brought unsweet and said it's supposed to be sweet, so instead of going back and making it she refused to accommodate and have us order soda or water instead . She skipped my daughter ordering and went to serve the next table . She brought food out with no utensils and to flag her down took 10-15min . My husband food never came out until the owner came to check which was 20 min into us already eating as this waitress was drowning and he didn't help one bit. I won't come again . I had so much hope for this place as this was my second time with not the best service or staff. food was great tho overall but not enough to come back for ! read more

My friend and I stopped in yesterday and the food, the ambiance and the service are all top notch! Staff are attentive and concerned with their guests enjoying their meals. I had chicken katsu and my friend had hibachi vegetables. She's vegan and said the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The decor is wonderful - I enjoyed the anime characters. Everything in Samurai is inviting and far beyond what you will find in other restaurants. Definitely recommend people come by and enjoy a good meal! read more
