    Solid sushi spot for Hanford. The fish is surprisingly fresh, and the quality holds up well, which isn't always easy to find in a smaller town. Yes, some of the specialty rolls are on the pricier side, but there are definitely reasonably priced rolls depending on what you're looking for or want. I've tried a mix of rolls here, and most have been hits. The presentation is clean, and the portions are decent. It's not a budget sushi joint, but you can still eat well without breaking the bank depending on what you order. Service has always been good, and the atmosphere is laid-back but clean. For Hanford, it's a solid sushi spot when the sushi cravings hit. --- Let me know if you wa

    Taro bubble tea and Matcha bubble tea

    This is the best sushi place in Hanford! Starting off strong with their interior: tall ceiling, open space that feels filled yet not crowded. Comfortable booths, samurai themed decor, clean. Food: great! We had 4 rolls altogether. I was very satisfied with the amount of salmon in the Philadelphia roll. It was a fattier cut of salmon, so you have to chew it a bit more. The roll itself had a really nice full bite to it and tasted great. Our other rolls were equally as tasty! Easy bites, easy chews. Best flavor and bite we've found in Hanford. Drink: the Taro and the Matcha bubble teas were good. The boba itself was alright, almost comparable to a boba tea shop but not quite. The flavor profile of both drinks however was great! Hospitality: very friendly waitress! She had the nicest smile, she was patient and answered any questions we had. Service with a smile makes a huge difference in the dining experience. We only went for lunch and had very very nice service. Price: comfortable. Very good fair prices for their menu items, generous sized rolls. It came out to $84 for the 4 rolls and 2 bubble teas. $100 after tip, well deserved. Overall, solid 8.5 / 10.

    Nigiri appetizer

    Came in on a weekday, restaurant was full, I had high hopes. We got greeted, and got sat right away!:) Sashimi dinner: didn't get a picture but it was disappointing! Fish was cut weird, super thin and fish was tough. Nigiri: Delicious, wasn't a fan of the sushi rice Habanero roll: I didn't know what I was eating. It was very messy! Strong taste of pickled onions. Shrimp tempura was soggy. Over all 2/5. Great service though!

    Not my first visit..... probably my last I've been to Samurai Sushi somewhere between 5 and 10 times since they opened. I kept going back.....hoping it'd eventually grow on me. The staff is always friendly, I'll give them that. But the service.....well, it can be a bit hit or miss. The restaurant is reasonably clean and has a pleasant atmosphere with the exception of the air conditioning. Thermostat is set too high and it stays a little warm inside the restaurant. My biggest issue has always been with the sushi itself. The texture and temperature.....they just don't feel right. The rolls always come out kinda soft, and they're never as chilled as I'd expect. Not warm exactly, but definitely not cold enough. The fish feels like it's missing that firm bite.....and the rice always seems a little too soft or packed down. Not horrible.....but definitely not what I'm used to. This last visit I got the Mexican Monkey roll.....and yeah, it was way bigger than I thought it'd be. I also got the spicy scallop roll with salmon. My wife ordered a different one, but I don't remember the name. We both ordered edamame. I got the spicy, she got the plain salted. Both were kinda mushy.....especially mine. The spicy edamame was so soft it was hard to eat. The husks were breaking apart in my mouth.....and it felt like chewing soggy string. Turns out that's usually a sign of overcooking. Edamame's already been blanched when frozen.....it only needs a quick steam. Cook it too long and it turns into the mess I had in front of me. Now I've seen plenty of people in town say they love this place. So maybe it's just me.....maybe my preferences are different. I'm not saying the place is bad. I'm saying it's just not for me. Rating: 2 stars Friendly staff.....but the sushi's never quite right and the edamame was a mess. I think I've given it enough chances.

    Enjoy the food so much here but stopped coming in person because the service was SO bad. This is coming from a person who has been a server before. Leaving the table and not coming back for 30 plus minutes and promised to get another drink and it never came. So we opted for picking food up instead of dine in. Only for me to start eating my vegetable tempura and all of the sweet potatoes and some onion have raw batter inside all of them. Super disappointing.

    This place was definitely so worth it! Our wait time was said to be 20 mins but it was less than that. The host and waitress were both super nice and friendly. Food was amazinggg. My drink I would say was missing more mango flavor to it but it was still good. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Pretty good first impression honestly! We got seated right away once a majority of our group showed up. I didn't catch our waitress's name but she was very attentive. I forgot to take a picture of my food but I had the baked salmon roll and would rate it a 8/10. Inside was nice and spacious. They also have high chairs available if needed. Food presentation was 10/10 with favorable portions for the bento boxes. I can't wait to come back to try something new.

    Sushi Sandwich

    When we want sushi and don't want to go out of town for it, we come here. We have not had any issues with their sushi as it is always good. They are always busy being one of the few sushi spots around so the service isn't always the fastest. The workers are always nice though so we don't mind. Definitely recommend, just expect a wait if it is a Friday evening.

    Had a great meal here today with a friend. Service was excellent and so was the food. This is a great little sushi spot and my first time visiting, but I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again

    We entered the well lit restaurant, and we had a short wait for a table. We ordered edamame, miso soup, shrimp tempura, chicken wings, bento boxes, and Thai tea. Aside from the Thai tea being not sweet enough for me, everything was wonderfully delicious.

    I never knew any place in Hanford was serving sushi like this, and I can't believe I overlooked it for so long. Crunchy dragon, cowboy and gorilla rolls were amazing! The fried vanilla and green tea icecreams were delicious too! I will be a regular every time I visit home. And the portions are huge. Wonderful service and experience all around. Excellent!

    Got three different rolls but they all ended up looking like the same roll the only difference was the toppings. Fried gyoza was good.

On more than one occasion, thoughtful conversation here has extended beyond the menu and into long-term asset management in dynasty formats. Strongly recommend. For the food, first and foremost.

I was expecting a crowded restaurant…read moredue to showing up right around 12, but I was disappointed to find the restaurant completely empty. I was greeted by the owner, who happens to be the cook, waiter and cashier. He was so polite and patient with me when try to make a decision on what to order. So many awesome choices. I decided on vegetable tempura, vegetable ramen and a sushi roll. Vegetable Tempura: was so delicious, the batter was so light and crispy. The batter had a delicate and airy texture. It was one of the best veggie tempuras that I've had in a long time. Golden Tiger Roll: this is a fried sushi roll with shrimp, avocado, spicy tuna w/crunch and topped with Tobiko (fish roe). This roll was so flavorful and delicious. On a side note, I loved the pickled ginger here; when I mentioned this to the owner, he gave me two little containers of it to-go. Spicy Noodles (ramen bowl): my ramen was a bit spicy and served nice and hot. I wanted chicken, however, they only offer thigh meat which isn't my preference so I opted for the veggie ramen. The veggies were a bit over cooked for my preference however, I still ate them. The egg was poached in the broth and was nice and jammy when cut into. It lent a nice velvety texture to the ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly. I was given four slices of fresh orange, which I found to be a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend this small business and look forward to eating here again. The restaurant was clean and my order did not take a long time to prepare. Parking is plentiful as this business is located in a strip mall. Please support this small business.

Located a few stores down from savemart, very convenient and plenty of parking. The staff was very nice and was able to explain items on the menu. There's a lot going on inside. There's a menu on the wall inside that's from their location in Hanford. Apparently they don't have all the ingredients to make everything yet but you can ask and see if they can make it.

Went back inside after 20 mins to check and it was finally ready just to get home try our drinks and find out they were awful, we ordered a mocha and banana boba and a mango. The mocha and banana tasted like water down chocolate milk and the mango had a sour and nasty like dirty dish taste, I called and talked to the same lady that took the order and all I got was a 'I explained to him that we were busy' not even an apology, then I asked what could be done about the drinks and she said that I could get them remade but I told her I wanted them refunded and said 'like I said' 'you can bring them back and have them remade, other ways I can't help you'. I once again asked her for a refund instead since we had literally just a sip from it and said that we could get one if they were sealed or if they haven't been drink from. I've been a customer for a while now and this experience has completely ruined my experience, since this place it's already on the pricy side the horrible service makes it not worth it.

This place wasn't very busy, but they have two self service kiosks for ordering menu items. They also have a large shelf in the back for pick-up using Grub-hub or Uber eats. I ordered off the Kiosk thinking it would be quicker. There was a wait, I saw patrons who ordered after me at the counter get their food before mine. I didn't make a big deal as the manager asked if I had the Santa Barbara burger and she assured me the cook was making it fresh. I ordered the Santa Barbara with Avocado and added bacon. I opted for fries. They carry Pepsi products which I was glad to see, but I gave up drinking soda so I opted for the Cucumer lime refresher they have. Oh that tasted so good. My burger arrived hot and fresh. It had plenty of avocado. I didn't realize how big this burger sandwich was. Did my stomach shrinK? I was only able to eat half. The lettuce was shredded so it was hard to keep that in tact with every bite. The onions were carmelized and the sourdough bread had plenty of mayo on it. This sandwich was made perfectly. I have zero complaints. My fries were cooked perfectly and I ate them with mustard and ketchup you can get at the condiment bar. The last time I had a habit burger, I had a Turkey burger. While ordering through the kiosk, I didn't see a Turkey burger as an option. Did it get removed? They restrooms were clean and you're able to wash your hands only without someone locking you out. Great job and kudos to the manager for keeping this place well maintained and operating. Parking: I came at 4pm right when all the high schoolers got out of school so this area was busy and the parking lot was full. I had to park in the parking meant for the tire shop.
