In my opinion, this is one of the best sushi restaurants in Fargo. They have a nice variety of their special roles and their presentation is fabulous. The décor is nice and the place is decently new/remodeled. It is quite small, so prepare to wait or get there early enough to get a table if you are starving. :) read more

This is the best sushi I've had in Fargo! I love going to Samurai and have not had a single bad meal there. I would give 5 stars but the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. There are boxes piled in the receiving area that give it a very cluttered look. read more

Pretty good sushi for Fargo. Service was good and place was small. Typical sushi prices and the menu was daily diverse and not justnjapanese. read more

This place was great -- do not let the plain outside deter you. We had the Fargo roll, a few sake bombs each and a bottle of the plum wine. Reasonably priced, very fresh and the servers were friendly and eager to please. I do think that the interior and exterior could better reflect how awesome this place actually is. read more

Best Sushi place in town. Very good Pad Thai as well, if you get it to go it is the Pad Thai is 2 meals for me and reheats well!

Sushi was fantastic. Person I was with got teriyaki chicken and it wasn't that great. Fairly bland, so dropping a star for that.

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to! I live in Bismarck and there isn't much of a sushi selection, but I have been all over the world and I like to think I know my sush. Samurai tops the list because they have a great variety of menu items, including good salads and soups, noodle dishes, in addition to amazing specialty rolls and even a few vegetarian dishes. As far as their rolls go, the "Burning Man" (spicy tuna, topped with avocado and pepper tuna) and the "Zen-zen" (vegetarian with tofu) were PHENOMENAL. Both were really great rolls and very unique, not your average combinations. GO HERE if you are in Fargo. It is kind of a small restaurant space but we didn't have any problem over the lunch hour. read more

Absolutely love this place. We drive over am hour just to go here. Even have a favorite server. They are always super kind to us and food is always on point :) read more

Two years since my last review and Samurai is still my go-to for take-out sushi. If I want to sit down and chat with friends, Izumi is the place to go. But for take-out that has not been wrong in 5 years - Samurai all the way. read more

Just travel here and find the good place. The noodles soup and spring roll are so yummy! If I travel here next time,I will visit again read more

Samurai Restaurant - Noodle soup and spring roll are all yummy - Japanese Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Love eating here. Best is they are consistent every time.

My experience was not the greatest. I gave 2 stars because the squid salad was great. The two rolls I ordered both had ingredients, cucumber and tempura, that were not on the description for the rolls. That led to me not really liking them much. The interior of the restaurant was a real turn off too. Boxes piled in a corner, all the seats were torn up. read more

First, the squid salad is always amazing. I don't think I ever go to Samurai without getting it...and it never fails to disappoint. The rolls are usually equally amazing. My only issue is that they are different every time I get them! My recent obsession is the Rainbow Sashimi Roll. This time they put sweet Eel sauce on it. Maybe it was always supposed to be on there? I don't know. I'll definitely go back and get it again. Next time I'll just make sure to ask for no sauce. read more

I had the baked mussel appetizer.. a little too much creamy sauce for me, but a great portion, and tasty regardless. For my entree, I had the Burning Man Roll, and it was delicious! I eat a lot of sushi in a lot of places, and this was top tier. Salmon sashimi was very fresh, and ginger also tasted fresh. Table next to me ordered green curry, which smelled awesome, and I overheard him saying it was really good. Service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to come back here! read more

I have been going to Samurai for years. This is the best sushi I have had in Fargo hands down. I even keep a list of my favorite rolls and rolls that are just good, never have had a bad list. read more

I LOVE this place! I've only been able to go twice, one of which was on New Years and it was a wonderful experience! Their sushi is tasty, creative, and it will actually fill you up! Order the Godzilla roll, you won't regret it! read more

Good service and delicious food. Was served promptly and food was all out quickly and fresh, ginger was like candy and a great pallette cleaner. Would definetly stop again. read more

The main dishes and sushi are alright, nothing to write home about though. I've been there twice and the service was sub par both times.

The sushi is amazing!!! Their noodles are really good too! I come here with my sister for get togethers and we are never disappointed. The atmosphere is great! read more

Great little hole in the wall dojo but despite my requests the staff refused to teach me karate and I was never allowed to practice my nunchucks and would only ask me what I wanted to eat. What kind of dojo only serves food and refuses me to practice my trade read more

Not fresh sushi and noodles, very low quality. I think it is high rated than it should plus the receptionist was so unprofessional.

The curries are delicious, but the sushi is pretty expensive. The atmosphere isn't great but the food quality definitely makes up for it. I love their teriyaki tofu. read more

Not impressed. I went here on a date with my wife. It took 15minutes for us to get our water, and more than a half an hour for us to get our food. This was not the waitress' fault. Management felt it was prudent to have only one server working that night. The food is the source of my dissatisfaction. We ordered two premium rolls and the mariner shrimp. One roll has the cross section of a quarter, and the other came to us with only 6 pieces. Why would they charge $12+ for imitation crab? Also, is the chef an aspiring magician? Where's the other half of our roll? One nice thing I can say about the entrée is that it's served on a big plate. So big in fact, that the actual food only took up 1/4 of the plate. Great atmosphere. Good food... walks the fine line with mediocrity. Portion sizes fit for a rabbit. read more

Just a warning to those with Celiac and Severe gluten intolerances - this is not an allergy-friendly place. I ate there tonight with my partner and we ordered the California Roll and the Yellowtail Roll. There were no descriptions written next to them so I assumed they were pretty straightforward options. I also told the female server that I was allergic to gluten to which she just nodded so I thought she understood. The food arrives and I look at the rolls and realize there's crab in one (imitation crab usually contains gluten) and after trying the yellowtail, I realize there's something crunchy in it which means deep friend. Angry and distraught, I talk to the server and ask her what the crunchy bit is and she says "deep fried flour."(!!!). "But I told you that I'm allergic to gluten," I say. She just looks at me and says, "That's what you ordered." I told her that no gluten means no flour. It means nothing deep friend and nothing crunchy. She looks at me without any compassion for the situation and says, "well, what do you want?" To which I say, "no flour!" I was pissed. Pissed that a) She was only pretending to listen when she took the order b) that the menu doesn't give anymore information about the dishes and (it's also largely inaccessible - since when do all sushi rolls have tempura in them?! I've travelled a lot and lived in a number of places and have never run into this before) and c) that she was so impeccably rude. It was the rudeness that really pissed me off. After she brought out the Yellowtail with no flour, she had the other waitress take care of us the rest of the time. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age, a server in a restaurant doesn't know what "allergic to gluten" means. I will never go back and will never recommend this restaurant. I'm even going to send the management an email telling them everything I wrote here. I'm really that pissed off and P.S. I didn't find the food to be that remarkable either. read more

Some of the sushi I have had. Great staff. Hard to believe it's in Fargo

Best spicy tuna roll I've ever had! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Clean place as well.

Food was terrible. I ordered Sushi and it was fully frozen like a rock or ice cube. The Japanese Udon noodle soup was terrible and nowhere like what they mentioned or shown in the menu. It was just a higher version of Tom Yum Soup. The experience was terrible and I mostly will not be visiting it again. read more

Tried this place again, and had a much better experience. Sushi rolls were good, pretty standard for available sushi options in Fargo. Server was a little unfriendly when he found out we were using a coupon. Little did he know that we usually over tip. I'd visit if I was with a group who wanted to visit here, but there are tastier sushi options within the same area of town with comparable prices. read more

Went there this past Saturday with my husband. Do not order the udon!!! It was so bland, even after adding soy sauce.my husband was so upset he almost sent it back. I ordered the fargo roll and for sushi it kept falling apart. The fish was watery and it was just way over priced for what was served. The booth had tears and it was not very clean. The waitstaff were very friendly so I gave it 2 stars but as far as food it was not something we liked. read more

I ordered the chicken pad Thai was disappointed that it had tofu in it. But after I picked that out the meal was descent. The cheese wontons were good read more

I'm giving this a five star because it highly exceeded my expectations for Fargo sushi. I stopped in on a business trip and took a sushi combination to go. Awesome sushi, friendly staff, and the meal was neatly packaged with everything I needed to go back to my room, relax and enjoy! Thanks! read more

Excellent sushi. Very fresh. The tempura ice cream was very delicious, too. Will definitely return.

Amazing food and service. Family owned restaurant. Must go to!!!!! This place is a real gem!
