Such a surprise to find tasty asian noodles in the prairie of North Dakota. This little restaurant served up delicious Singapore noodles and Udon noodle soup. The sushi is also top quality. Friendly and prompt service was appreciated. Will go back next time traveling thru. read more

Stopped in for lunch. I've driven by this place countless times and decided to take a chance and stop in. This place is very tiny. There's a sushi bar and maybe 10 tables. Maybe not the best spot for a huge group. The hostess seated me and was very polite. I ordered the spicy crab roll and soft shell crab roll. Both were amazing. The price point is awesome and the food amazing. Everything was hand made and came out within 10 minutes of the order. They have a lunch special section on the menu from 11-3 Monday through Friday. Prices looked amazing for that. Great place for quick sushi that taste amazing! read more

Really poor quality for the money. Some of the Philly rolls we had were absolutely terrible. I won't go back there again. read more

I am such a huge fan of Samurai! They have some of the best sushi in town! The options that I had at my last visit was so good, I may just order the same thing every time! First, their miso soup is perfect and who doesn't like to start off the meal with miso! Next, I had the Sashimi Salad, this is awesome! If you like sashimi, you will love this. There is 5 different varieties of sashimi, like yellowtail, salmon, tuna, etc. Along with lettuce, avocado, tobiko and a chef's special sauce, which makes the taste amazing! Next up was two different rolls. My friend and I decided to go with rice-less rolls and both prefer soy paper to seaweed for the wrap on one of the rolls. The first of the two was the Fargo Sashimi Roll, so very tasty! It is spicy tune wrapped with shrimp tempura and cucumber & avocado. With spicy crab and salmon on the top. The other roll was called the Angel Roll and was a little more simple. A tune roll with spicy crab meat, avocado crunchy top. This was delicious as well. Too full for anything else, I recommend any of the above items that I enjoyed. I will be back there soon, enjoying some of the same and something new! read more

I'm a regular here and the food has been great. I usually go with the Magic Roll, Fargo Roll, or New York Sashimi. You can't go wrong with any of them. read more

You have to try the pad thai, thats one of my friend reccomendation when she told me there is another japanese restaurant in town. Pad thai? Wait, thats Thai food right? YUP, they served thai food too. This place is fusion on everything. Usually when they says fusion restaurant most of the time, only some of the food are good, not all of them. But I can honestly say that from all 5 different foods that I ordered here, all of them are good. A little bit sweet but all good. If you are looking for a nice kick from daily restaurant in Fargo, Samurai might be the one for you!~ read more

Being here for a tennis tournament, my first worry was where in the world was I going to find good food in fargo, or further yet, a good sushi joint. When reading reviews about samurai, i was skeptical however when i arrived, the place proved me wrong. My mom and i ordered the rainbow sandwich roll from specialty rolls, and then some more simpler rolls: alaskan, salmon skin, yellowtail. All of the rolls were really good; the yellowtail had loads of chives which i'm a fan of, salmon skin was good and crunchy with just the right amount of sauce, and the salmon in the alaskan was so fresh, although not a huge fan of too much cucumbers. However, the rainbow sandwich roll... mmmmm mmm mmm, it came in 4 pieces, shaped like 4 cute little triangle-like sandwich cuts and stacked like one too (spicy tuna, eel, avocado, crunchy rolled with soybean paper top with 4 colors of tobiko)! so cute and the most creative/delicious roll i've ever had! The staff was pretty attentive and did their job well, not overly friendly though. Only thing keeping me from giving a 5 star is that the lighting was really blue, quite like a sketchy bar/club feeling and the prices were mediocre, but on the other hand what do you expect? sushi is pricey. Otherwise the sushi was fab, considering it was in fargo as well. Definitely will be back whenever in town for a tournament. For those going, trust me, the rainbow sandwich roll is a MUST try! read more

Samurai was good. The ingredients were very fresh. The decor kind of gives me a headache, though, very dark in there, and lots of blue. I had 2 different rolls, one of which was the angel roll. It was very different. Actually wrapped in fish. The texture was a bit unnerving, so I doubt I'll be getting that again. I found their descriptions a bit hard to follow. The prices were decent but not great. The nice part is that it's really close to the hotels and the mall, so it makes for an easy little evening after working all day. :) I'd like to go back and try some of the other dishes! read more

Pleasant fast service but sadly, food was very lacking in flavor. Yaki soba had no sauce or flavor and pineapple curry was completely bland.

I eat here every time I'm in Fargo. It's fantastic! If you want to put the best thing you've ever had in your mouth, get the Amazing roll. You'll not be disappointed. It's beautiful too! Just take my word and eat it. Eat it I tell you! read more

I didn't understand one thing, Name says Japanese restaurant and when you saw Menu it says Thai restaurant or Asian fusion. ONE SUGGESTION EITGER CHANGE YOUR NAME OR CHANGE YOUR MENU AND focus on one thing... Anyplace we went to it's walking all over Asia and all the food taste just ok. read more

Samurai has great sushi, and even better sashimi. Of the sushi rolls that I've tasted, the best is the spicy crab. As for the Thai dishes, they are quite good; not the best in town, but there's nothing wrong with them at all. There are also some pan-Asian dishes as well; I haven't tried them. My recommendation: For the first time, go for lunch; it's more affordable. If you like it and want to explore the menu more in depth, go for dinner and try the more extensive menu. read more

We tried the Burning man, Philadelphia roll, sake the sake was my first time and it was pretty darn good long with our food. I would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Samurai Restaurant - I really enjoy coming here! Their sushi is always fresh and amazing and their service is pretty good too! I would definitely recommend! - Japanese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

If you want food poisoning from freezer burnt sushi That has been left out all day, then this is your place. We ordered several items, including the fried tempera, that was Luke warm at best. This place reminds me of gas station sushi. Might be the worse I've ever had. Even the rice was disgusting. It was so mushy, I'm wondering how many days it was used. read more

Love this place! They have great spicy mayo and the rolls are decent sized (compared to Izumi) and don't fall apart!

Seriously the best sushi in the Fargo Moorhead area, the Fuji Yama Roll is to die for. Get on it folks. read more

Samurai Restaurant - lunch box 4 mmmm - Japanese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Pathetic excuse for Japanese Tempura. I received about 1/2 ounce of chicken Tempura and a bunch of no taste, no identifying feature vegetables. Will not make the mistake of eating here again. read more

This is my little brother's favorite sushi restaurant, haha! I love their decor and music they play. It feels very trendy and unique. It matches their sushi, which is unique as well. Their rolls are presented artistically and are fun to see. However, the taste isn't always amazing. Not bad at all, but not great compared to other sushi I've had. I've also been a bit confused on how exactly to eat some of their rolls. (For example, a cucumber roll - they peeled it and used the peels as decoration. At the time, I could not decide if I was supposed to eat it all or what... haha). I haven't tried their other dishes yet, but there are a lot of things on the menu that sound good! read more

Good sushi and sashimi. I've been here twice and I've had a good experience both times. Good staff as well.

Everything I've ordered here is delicious. I especially like the Thai basil sauce with fried tofu. The sushi is good and the red curry is decent. read more

Way over priced n salmon didn't taste fresh. Curry was very oily. Very friendly staff tho

I'm a huge fan of sushi and I like to give everything a try. By sampling many rolls I have come to realize that I don't like crab; especially crab salad. I noticed in their menu the majority of their rolls contain crab which is a turn off for me. Other than that the rolls without crab have great flavor and the appearance is very appetizing. One thing though, don't order the house salad unless you like a plate of only iceberg lettuce. Waste of money. read more

Great food and great service. The sushi is delicious and the staff is very helpful when it comes to explaining the food. If you get the opportunity, sit at the bar and watch them make the sushi. read more

Look, I think the sushi is incredible... But the tops of the booths are busted up, the bathrooms are disgusting, and they have piles of empty boxes by the front door. Just sayin, buyer beware. read more

Best sushi in Fargo. Have had their other food also and it is all wonderful. Give it a try you will not be disappointed. Service, atmosphere and cleanliness also five star. read more

We love it here! Staff is always friendly and the lunch specials cant be beat. Try the tuna tataki! For a quick delicious affordable sushi meal, samurai is the place to go. read more

Whoa. Really surprised that I wasn't a fan because I love Japanese food, but this is clearly not traditional. ...or very good for that matter. I mean I know they call it fusion, but it tasted like a Chinese Chef making Japanese food. Which doesn't sound so bad, except it's like getting French baguettes made by someone in Tijuana working off a picture he saw. The soup for the udon noodles was soy sauce water, the teriyaki chicken was overcooked and dry and the whole experience made me question my decision to eat raw sashimi there... read more

So far worse Japanese restaurant I have ever eaten. May be because it's run by Chinese!! It's Expensive. Me and my Frn bought a sushi roll, chicken teriyaki and seafood udon. Sushi was 'ok'. Chicken teriyaki tasted like boiled chicken served with teriyaki sauce. And seafood udon was worse. It was more like vegi udon. It's a ripoff. Never going back there. read more

I have only eaten here once. Very clean, neat and friendly service. I chose the Burning Man Roll. It was very good. Very spicy. Perfect heat for me but probably too hot for most. It is on my list to try again. Huge menu. Not too many spots for me to sit with wheelchair. But at least the tables are low and there are options. read more

We'll I'm a huge yelp guy so I thought I would try. So I tired a fee things it's avg sushi. But they did make me my own roll I aged so that's a huge plus. Thanks again read more

Samurai has excellent thai food. I spent about 4 months in Fargo and their food was consistently fresh and yummy. Mostly enjoyed their vegetarian curry dishes. My husband loved the pad thai. read more

So-so sushi - I stopped here about a half hour before closing time on a Friday night; ordered the Fargo roll and a glass of wine. The wine tasted stale. The sushi was ok - I love my wasabi and ginger - but the wasabi was a grey-green which seemed a little odd to me. Service was quite good - attentive and friendly staff - even though they were mopping the floor next to me and others while we were there. I was fed and I was satisfied but I can't give this restaurant any more than three stars. read more

Excellent food!! (Btw, Im Asian I hope that gives me a little bit of credibility;) they could even make good Pad Thai!! I loved their sushi -best and freshest I've had so far! Love their tempura ice cream and Mochi desserts! See picture. read more

As someone who is new to Sushi, I have to say this place is great. Very non-intimidating, and helpful staff. I had the teriyaki (Chicken) and it was amazing. I also tasted the Godzilla roll someone else had, and there was some sushi on my lunch plate. All around tasty stuff here! read more

Sushi is one of the best you'll find in Fargo, but it loses stars for poor service. I recommend the specialty rolls and the kana salad.

Stopped in while staying the night during a road trip. Pretty good for take out. The wonton soup was my favorite. Good selection​ of making too. read more
