    2 samurai sushi sets, 2 Red Bull rolls, 2 kamakazi rolls, 2 samurai rolls
    Rosalie C.

    Wow was this place great! I always pass by the place and have been meaning to try. My fiancé had some Uber Eats credit to use and we decided to give this place a try. This place has great Uber Eats buy one get one deals. We got 2 samurai sushi sets, 2 Red Bull rolls, 2 kamakazi rolls and 2 samurai roll. All included in the bogo deal - what's a steal! The sushi sets included 10pc chef's choice nigiri. All 10pcs were delicious! We both agreed that the eel was our favorite. All the rolls were large and tasty. I wasn't expecting much from this place but I'm really pleasantly surprised. Samurai sushi is a great addition to the neighborhood. They have tables both inside and outside. The staff is also very nice.

    I'm actually livid. I ordered sushi that CLEARLY said NO spicy mayo, and everything came completely drenched in it. Like what is the point of even having a menu description if you're not going to follow it? Not everyone likes spicy mayo or can even eat it, so this isn't a small mistake--it ruins the entire meal. And on top of that, no utensils were included... so even if I wanted to eat it, how exactly was I supposed to? This was a complete miss. Please start paying attention to orders because this was beyond frustrating.

    Salmon lover's roll: very generously filled with thick pieces of salmon inside and out. I like that they torched the salmon and avocado outside. It adds a smokiness!

    Deluxe sashimi and sushi

    Food is good,sashimi / sushi fresh,ramen is thick and refresher nice,quick service ,they are not rushing you,when we came in theres a lot of bags for take out orders

    We came here for a quiet lunch hour. Corner spot, entrance is hidden for you first timers. Signs are posted which door to use. Also a couple of delivery drivers are always outside. When we found the door, the inside is small but clean. Looks more like an outpost than a sit in and eat spot. Typical Japanese-American menu. A lot of rolls but no katsu or curry offerings. Ordered a couple of drinks, the ramen, a roll and an appetizer. Food came out hot. The appetizer was good. Ramen and rolls were well made and good portions. Overall nice spot to scratch that food itch. A lot of app deliveries going in and out. Recommended. Support your local restaurant.

    Ok, so listen. We all know that when it comes to sushi, we have to be a little more careful with where we buy from. I came across Samuri Sushi last year on Post Mates. I was hesitant about ordering from them until my friend who lives near me, ordered from there herself and loved it! And when it comes to food, I trust her taste because she's a bit bougie like me lol. She told me that she tried this fried lobster roll that had me more than intrigued! I tried that and was hooked forever! I love ordering from them because they often have buy one, get one on Post Mates. It is always soooo fresh! I never have to worry about getting sick or feeling nauseous. It's always super light sushi, made with yummy sauces, caviar, rice, etc. I love the Red Bull roll, the crispy rice, and so much more. I've yet to have something from there that I did not like! Because it's freshly made, I'd say to always order in advance because it does take longer than other restaurants, but it is so worth the wait! Keep up the quality, SS! Please! It isn't easy to come across! Thanks so much.

    Service was friendly, music was at the perfect level to have a pleasant conversation. Food presentation was excellent, no complaints about it, only thing is I ordered a sushi and ask if it was spicy, I was told it was not spicy but it had a mayo on top which it was definitely spicy (I'm allergic to spicy). Other than that everything was excellent, must try their desserts.

    One of my favorite sushi restaurants nearby! I'm very picky with my sushi but this restaurant makes very delicious rolls. The quality of fish was fresh and the rise on the rolls were perfectly cooked. Their wasabi also has a nice kick to it. Definitely is my new go-to spot for affordable and good quality sushi.

    My favorite sushi place in the area! Reasonable prices for great food. The rolls are great and so fresh tasting. I personally also really like the tuna tartare and the salmon tataki. It's hard to find such fresh tasting sushi without breaking the bank so I'm so glad this is near me. The space is also really cute. They have a back area where the chairs are all mismatched and eclectic. While the restaurant itself is more homey feeling, it adds to its charm. The people are always so nice too. Love this place! (Takeout is also great)

    Seafood ramen with most of it INHALED

    Did this order for pick up and I've eaten here before but never had the chance to review it (and have a picture last before scarfing it down). Service was quick and the pick up was fast! Food was so GOOD and fresh and I got their seafood ramen and their tonkatsu ramen. Their seafood ramen is filled with such an amazing assortment of seafood and their broth was divine to smell. It helped clear and fight a mild cold I was experiencing Presentation was beautiful (before I chowed down and figured I should take a pic and review lol) but so many props to this cute little gem and their amazing meals and hefty portions

    Inside to outside (counterclockwise): Winter Roll, New York Roll, Red Bull Roll, Lobster Roll, Dancing Eel Roll

    3.5 stars. Great ambiance and selection of special sushi rolls, but the sushi was just average. The quality of the ingredients wasn't bad, but the rice was mushier / more overcooked than I personally would've preferred. The special rolls we ordered: - Red Bull Roll: Out of all the rolls we ordered, this was my favorite. This was the most flavorful, and the salmon tasted really fresh. Would definitely order this again! - Winter Roll: The spicy yellowtail wasn't really spicy. Not bad, but wasn't memorable. Wasn't a fan of the asparagus in the roll. - Salmon Lovers: Was underwhelming. Wish more of the pieces had the seared salmon on top, but it seemed like it was 50% avocado and 50% salmon. Also didn't think the mango sauce on top meshed well. - Dancing Dragon Roll: Wasn't really a fan of the asparagus inside this roll either. Next time I'd skip this roll and just go for the Eel Avocado Roll. - Lobster Roll: Wouldn't recommend because it seemed like a pretty plain and boring. This roll is pricier because of the lobster, but I think that the crispy lobster could've been replaced by any kind of tempura and it would've tasted the same. - New York Roll: Not bad, not outstanding. Overall, I think this is a decent place to get affordable sushi and Japanese food. The restaurant is cozy. The service could've been quicker, but although the restaurant was 80% when we came in, they looked like they were busy with a lot of takeout orders.

    Tataki salmon with ponzu sauce... highly recommend!

Saka has a solid offer of Any 3 Rolls for ~$20. Their selection of rolls is more limiting than other places; would love if they had yellowtail or scallop as options at lunch. Nonetheless, the rolls I got were solid! The fish was fresh and the portion was great, the rice layer wasn't thick at all which is a big factor for me, and to my surprise, it came with both a miso soup & salad. The miso soup was pretty flavorful compared to others I've had and the salad came with a sesame dressing that was so refreshing with the crisp salad. I should've kept my order at that as the Crispy Spicy Salmon wasn't worth it. The crispy rice was slightly too hard/over-fried and the portion of spicy salmon was so tiny. The rice layer should be fully topped with salmon, unlike what they gave. It didn't taste half bad but I'd probably skip it next time. If you order for delivery, their insulated packaging is great for transport and temperature control. Solid try!

We got there a bit late but not a problem! We did the omakase menu since it's one of our favorite dinning experiences. Now i wanna premise this, the restaurant and food is good -- the omakase experience was nice but was missing a bit of the wow factor. Some of the plates where excellent - while others where good but missing the wow factor we normally get during this experience. I looked around and saw some of the sushi plates and found them enticing and made me kinda question why we did the omakase menu. In the end I would highly recommend Nigiri for a nice date night. Stick to the regular menu and enjoy the restaurant for its strengths. Nice ambience. Great sushi rules and friendly staff.

The menu kind of reflects this struggle too, as it can't seem to decide if it wants to offer more traditional Japanese sushi-ya fare or something more innovative. As a result, we kind of wound up with the middling middle with our choice of 4 specialty rolls: 1) Saku: Probably the best and most traditional of our rolls with salmon and avocado inside, and ponzu, chives and crispy shallots on the outside. 2) Lobster: Not enough lobster salad inside to justify the overuse of miso-yuzu mayo, and just a whole ton of filler nonsense going on outside wrapped in pink soy paper. 3) Drop It Like Its Hot: Not spicy enough to justify the cute name. This should've been an easy slam dunk in flavor, but everything felt kind of bland and flat. Maybe due to the lack of nori. 4) Crunch Drunk Love: Lots of fish, but again, not enough flavor. We also got the Edamame with Spicy Miso Butter, which was just OK--the butter was weirdly sour. I wouldn't order it again. In fact, I....wouldn't really order anything here again.
