The family came here as we were looking for a new sushi place to try. It's a nice little restaurant in strip mall with lots of parking. It wasn't too busy on this day and we were seated promptly. The menu is not extensive but there was enough there for lunch. We ordered the Katana Platter, Green Salad, Vegetable Tempura, and Tonkotsu Ramen. We also had Green Tea - you order per pot and they make it for you (no tea bags). Everything tasted fresh and great. The tempura was not greasy at all. One thing to note is the rolls fell apart when picking up so not quite made firm. It didn't change the taste though. They also gave us complimentary Motoyaki which tasted awesome! Staff were friendly. It's a nice little restaurant and we are glad we tried it. read more

Ramen was not bad. The double dynamite rolls were the smallest I've even had for $9. The prawn in them tasted old. The chicken teriyaki was about 2oz of chicken and all rice/veg. It was not the standard chicken teri you get at a sushi restaurant. It was like a weight watchers stirfry. There was no sauce. It was terribly over priced at $17. We let the staff know but they were adamant that is what chicken teriyaki is. The lemon water was prob the best part of our meal. I guess we are spoiled in BC where the sushi is generally good and our experience in Calgary was disappointing. read more

Great food quiet environment. Fast service all rolls and sashimi were fresh. Free sample included which was nice of them

Three words...spicy tonkotsu ramen. That is all I need to write.

Really fresh sushi! Super tasty and enjoyable . Unfortunately their prices are getting very expensive

I found this hidden gem in the NE, they have my favourite sushi roll, the spicy salmon crunch. I could eat this roll everyday. The tonkotsu ramen broth is soooo flavorful and delicious. Make sure you eat in house, it's much better than SkipTheDishes. You also get a complimentary motoyaki. Service is good too! read more

Hole in the wall you should visit When you walk in you you think to yourself, "did I get the wrong place?" There's only about 5 tables and one server. There's only one and she's damn busy. Surprisingly our service did not suffer much. My only complaint was that she never came back to check on us for water. The food was simply amazing and mouth watering. I order the spicy agadashi tofu and prawn tempura as I usually do. The tofu was perfect. Spicy and savoury and crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. The prawns were light and airy and not dough. I also order the sushi pizza which was "eh", could have gone without. The sashimi was also really awesome, nice cuts and a great selection. Definitely the only complaint was that we didn't get checked upon for drinks. read more

Very small place can only seat up to 18 people lol. And small-ish menu not much variety compared to other sushi restaurants. We tried their Samurai ramen and tonkatsu ramen because the samurai was their speciality and recommended by The server but mine tasted better... the samurai ramen is spicy if you like spicy then get that. The ramen was decent not disgusting but mind blowing and makes me want to come back? No. I don't think I will be back here because I didn't like their menu selection and the atmosphere. It's very ghetto looking so not really a place I'd take my friends or throw a birthday dinner for sure. When I came in 3 people were just there eating by themselves. read more

Great food.... good choices in the menu, including most common items as well as some new/less common items!! It's a small but clean place... nothing much fancy, but nicely put together. The server was very polite with superb service. In the appetizer menu... Motoyaki is an interesting item. Shrimp, scallops, seaweed, mushroom deliciously stacked on a spoon. Definitely this place deserves multiple visits. read more

Last Saturday, my boyfriend took me out to see the cars. Around the lunchtime, we found a Japanese Restaurant for lunch. The name of the restaurant called Samurai Ramen and Sushi. It's located at 36 St NE #140, Calgary, which is right across the street from T& T Inc. It was very easier for people to find and park their car. Environment We arrived the Samurai Ramen and Sushi t 12 pm. It was a small Japanese Restaurant. There are many people in the restaurant. Luckily, we found a table fast. Inside the restaurant decorates in the Japanese Style. There were couple Japanese Style Pictures on the Wall. Inside the restaurant was nice and clean. Service After we sat down, the server brought tea to the table. Our server was a Japanese Lady. She was very nice and friendly. She offered us useful suggestions to order the food. Food & Prices Based on the server's suggestion, we have ordered TAKOYAKI (5PCS), SUSHI PIZZA, TONKOTSU RAMEN, SAMURAI SPECIAL ROLL, MOTOYAKI (2PC). The food came out the kitchen one by one. They were all well cooked and tasty. First dish was two pieces MOTOYAKI (2PC). It made by Mushroom, scallop, shrimp, and seaweed baked with Japanese mayonnaise. It costs us $6.00, which is a little bit pricey. Next, TAKOYAKI balls, Deep fried battered balls containing octopus, topped with fish flakes and mayo. One order comes with five pieces. It's $7.00. SUSHI PIZZA was $10.00 Fresh, raw salmon, avocado, masago, and mayo on a tempura rice patty. TONKOTSU RAMEN was $13.50 a rich, salt-based pork stock topped with roasted pork, seaweed, bean sprouts, egg, and green onions. SAMURAI SPECIAL ROLL was Prawn tempura, salmon tempura, and avocado inside, topped with seared tuna. $14.50. In total, we spent $51.00. We had a great experience eating Samurai Ramen and Sushi. It was our first time having such great sushi in Calgary. Even though it was a little bit expensive and pricey, the taste of the food was totally worth the price. We love it. Highly recommend people to some samurai Ramen and Sushi restaurant. read more

Great food. So Fresh. And good pricing. Very consistent, haven't been disappointed once we get the samurai meal / combo / platter (whatever) highly recommend read more

Good customer service, good food, and overall a nice selection place. What else could you ask for?

Meh. This place looks amazing in the reviews and the photos, but the sushi was really bad. We ordered toro which is tuna belly, and they tried to pass off white tuna as toro (I know my fish and quality). The rainbow roll we ordered was really underwhelming and the tuna on top was not fresh at all. I would never go here again. I figure the reviews are all 5 stars because this place is in Marlborough and people there don't know what good sushi is or the restaurant had their friends rate it 5 stars. To the restaurant: if you post photos of what the food is supposed to look like, you better match up what you give the customer to the picture, otherwise you'll get more awful reviews like this one. I did not try the ramen, maybe that is better... read more

I'm not sure if the high ratings are based on the demographics but I truly do not feel this establishment warrants 5 stars. I came here because another ramen place I wanted to eat at was closed between 3-5pm and it looked like it got great reviews throughout. When you first walk in there's a pungent smell. I wasn't sure if it was from the humidity due to heavy rainfall and leaky ceiling. (Not a fault of theirs obviously, the landlord needs to have that fixed.) The smell didn't make me feel like really eating already as it is. The decor had a few nice items aside from the mismatching chairs and later on, a napping staff member at one of the tables. Anyway... We got a complimentary dish with shrimp and mushrooms. It was very tasty. It took quite a long time but our 3 bowls of ramen eventually came out and they looked...meh. Considering the cost of each our bowls ranged from $12.50 to $15.00 I expected better. (Considering my favourite ramen joint, Shiki Menya, charges less than that and provides quality ingredients like fresh greens and large orange yolk egg...) I can't say I recommend this place, but if you're in area craving ramen I guess it's acceptable if you're okay with ramen noodles that taste like Nissin chicken flavored instant noodles. read more

You really have to look for this place but it is worth it once you get there. It is hidden in a strip mall. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly.

I went in to get take out.....i was greeted with a stinky smell. I can't really point out what it is but it's not favourable. Food quality- it's good Presentation- sloppy Friendliness- 50% I can't understand what the server is saying... though she did got my order correct I keep on saying " pardon me" The decor is nice it looks really clean....except for the smell... It can only sit 35 people. So it's really a small restaurant. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch. I'm not a fan of sushi but my daughter is and she throughly enjoyed the Katana Roll and she recommends it. I ordered chicken teriyaki and it came with a fresh salad The miso soup was amazing and I have to say the chicken teriyaki is the best I've tasted. The service was spectacular, very attentive without overwhelming us. Highly recommend this place! read more

This is my 1st time eating here after eating Turkey and ham from the holidays so I suggested to my hubby I'd like to have soup somewhere and he suggested we go to this place since it's with good reviews and so off we go! The host greeted us warmly and ushered us promptly to our seats. Afterwards ,he gave us a complimentary appetizer of shrimp, seaweed and mushroom combo and we just loved it! I ordered the Samurai Ramen ~ a creamy broth of peanuts and other spice,pork, seaweed , bean sprouts , and an egg . First sip will make you cough a lil bit coz of the spice but eventually it gets better, since I'm used to spicy food & it's just the right spice for me, the broth is quite different from what I've used to taste in Tonkatsu ramen , but I like the change, noodles are just cooked right. Hubby ordered a tonkatsu Ramen and said the broth is nice, he likes the addition of egg and seaweed on it . And he ordered some mushroom tempura too. I liked this , it has a light taste and not greasy, my 4 yr old even commented it's super yummy! We also had the chicken avocado roll as it's cooked coz we have a 4 yr old son in tow and he raved about it as well! What can I say, great service, good food and good atmosphere! I'm definitely coming back! read more

Came her for lunch it's a bit hidden in the strip mall but there lots of parking. First impressions it's a bit old but clean. The service was 5/5! Once I entered we were warmly greeted. We ordered the spicy ramen, miso soup, crunchy spicy salmon roll and the rainbow roll. The ramen was flavourful and perfect amount of spice. The sushi was very good and fresh. The prices are much lower than other sushi restaurants too. Definitely will be returning. read more

I had set off to try a different ramen spot intially but when they were closed I stumbled upon Samurai Ramen. Lucky for me I did ! Unassuming little spot in a strip mall that also specializes in Sushi. Typically I shy from places that do 2 different things IE: Sushi and Ramen but this place is legit. Small dining room that's a bit bright , but a hint of traditional Japanese decor meets modern. Hip hop and r&b play quietly in the back ground kind of thing. Service is prompt and attentive , very clean over all , and the food was very good. They bring you a complimentary appetizer called Umanaki ( scallop) just marvelous in flavor with a creamy finish. Seaweed , mixed greens, and tomato salad ( very good , add soy) and finally Spicy Tankatsu Ramen. Not the creamy broth I'm used to but a nice spice and well rounded flavor. Noodles were done perfectly, Chashu pork , bean sprouts, half and egg and green onion. I prefer bamboo , woodear mushrooms too but none the less very good. I'd suggest this place if you are in the area. Easy parking in the lot out front too read more

Samurai Ramen and Sushi - Spicy ramen! Fantastic! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Came here for ramen because our first choice was closed for the afternoon. I was told by others that the ramen is average. I would say, compared to other places I've been to, the quality is probably sub-par at best. There was absolutely nothing about it that impressed me. It was also a bit pricier than other places. Given the choice, probably won't go back for the ramen. Can't comment on the sushi. read more

I came in and ordered a Ramen and it was very good but the service we received wasn't great. I noticed the lady was filling the waters and bringing the bill and debit machine to the other table and was giving them great service. My friend and I on the other hand did not get our waters filled and when I asked for the bill, our waiter disappeared and I had to look for her and get the debit machine read more

Excellent combination of ramen and sushi - both of high quality! The rolls are delicious and the soup is salty and well balanced. You get three slices of pork which is a bonus. Really like this place, definitely one of the best places for food in the area. The only item I didn't care for was the creaming scallop. Tasted like miracle whip rather than Japanese mayonnaise. Everything else was perfect. read more

Best Ramen I've had in town. Good portion sizes. Try the mango shrimp appetizer. Would definitely come back. Great service.

Definitely among one of the better sushi places for the price and quality, especially in the northeast. Wasn't disappointed with anything I ordered. read more

My son and I went on a whim for lunch and were glad we did. We had the mango roll, Shoyu ramen & Samurai ramen. The broths for both soups were amazing. There was a depth to the soups that was heavenly and my son liked the amount of meat to noodle ratio. I liked that the soft boiled egg had been lightly marinated in a sweet soy sauce for added flavour. The mango roll was lovely with a hint of sweet mango sauce. Definitely one of the best mango rolls we've tried so far in Calgary. We were so full we had to take leftovers home. My son wants to go there for his bday dinner now. read more

Samurai Ramen and Sushi - Samurai ramen- delicious sesame paste flavour and a tiny hint of spiciness. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I have been here 2-3 times since they opened. Their sushi is very well done and dare I say the best in the area. I would come here more often if they offer lunch specials or bentonite boxes as I like the variety of not eating the same roll as the only thing for lunch. It is something that this restaurant's predecessor did well and as a result got a lot of my business. The ramen was okay but nothing spectacular. The service is always good here and I have no problem referring my coworkers here. read more

You just can't go wrong with this place, the maki is good, the rolls are good, the miso soup is good, haven't tried the ramen yet so I cannot say much about that but it's an amazing place. it's for sure a safe bet if your in the market for some good sushi. read more

After getting a craving for ramen for dinner my boyfriend suggested samurai as it had been mentioned amongst his friends. I guess they're pretty new! I had originally ordered the samurai ramen but our server warned it is spicy so in the end we had an order of tuna sashimi , sushi pizza, and two orders of tonkotsu ramen. Right now they give you a complimentary mototaki appetizer which was fantastic! He was happy with his sashimi, the sushi pizza was wonderful and a generous portion for the price, our ramen broth was deliciously creamy and not overly salty...and just like the sushi pizza the price just couldn't be beat. Our server was very attentive and appreciative of our patronage. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to support a small resto just starting up and appreciates great ramen. You won't be disappointed! read more

Tempura was amazing. Crisp, flavorful, and light. The Motoyaki was absolutely delicious!!
