Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box

What an adorable place in the shopping center, it looks closed from the outside but that's because the inside is fully decorated with greenery and dimming lights. It really felt like being transported to not quite Japan, but close vibes. It's you're typical American sushi restaurant- I've never been to a sushi restaurant like it. I came here for dinner with my parents first night in town. Fair prices and clean. There is an atentative staff, but I like that they just do their job and leave you to eat in peace. We sat at the sushi bar. I got a specialty roll, which was incredible and a basic tuna roll that was fine. The solo bathroom was a bit lacking and it loses a star due to music. It was RNB music videos on repeat with lots of nudity and too loud for a conversation. Not something I am interested in watching with my parents. But overall, I think they will be back as they live in town!

So many options to pick from. This place is probably top tier for us personally compared to the other sushi spots in town. The restaurant itself has a very fun vibe. The staff is always friendly. The food is always great. Even on their busiest days they're very transparent with their wait times which I feel is important when ordering so you know what to expect. They're definitely about quality over quantity. Keep up the great work.

This place gets busy. The staff are friendly. The food is okay. We had the dragon roll which was good and the spicy tuna roll this one was plain no toppings. I have never had a spicy tuna roll like that. We also ordered the udon noodles which was so hot you couldn't eat it. We packed it and it was still hot 30 minutes later. Overall it was an okay place.

The food it's great flavor and the price is just right for the food the service it's outstanding very good customer service the ambiance it's ok I will definitely order to pick up next time due to the small place and to avoid busy hours I order shrimp tempura California deep fried and King Kong deep fried 10/10 on everything!

This place has changed owners since my last review... thank GOD! The food is always great! They still put a lot of sauce on the rolls though. I enjoy coming here now though since it's so close to home. They have great customer service now!

If your looking for good service and quality this is the spot ! Rare to not find this spot packed because it's definitely a 10/10 This is my usual order and I never go wrong, they have many different options and I haven't been disappointed, Recommended!

My husband and I have become pretty picky about our sushi since moving back from the Bay Area and Samurai sushi is the only spot in Turlock that matches up to at quality without going to Modesto. Ambiance: we love the intimate size of the restaurant as well as the authentic decor. Service: service is always great and they are quick with takeout orders. Food and Bev: the rolls are unique and the quality has always been on point. We also appreciate their unique selection of sake and Japanese beers. Our favorite rolls so far: - Mama Kim - spicy tuna or salmon - all the California roll variations

I loved this place when it was owned by the original owners. It was bought by new people and it had its bumps and bruises. I was not a fan of their customer service or their food. I don't know if it was sold again or they upped their game BUT it was delicious! I will definetly come back! I'm glad I gave them another try

See all

I won't be back. I could barely eat the Ramen soup as it had way too much sodium for my taste buds

You would never think that a town like Hughson would have a great sushi place like the Hughson…read moreAsian Kitchen! The restaurant is nestled in the cute downtown area of Hughson, their main street. Upon walking in, we were greeted by the staff and seated right away. We were there on a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, but the restaurant was packed with customers. The menu has an extensive selection of Chinese and Japanese dishes. I had the Bruce Li roll which had tempura shrimp topped with crab meat, salmon, tuna, spicy mayo and unagi sauce. I also 2 pieces of the Hamachi (yellowtail), miso soup, and spicy edamame. The fish was some of the freshest I've ever had - flavorful, definitely sushi grade, and I could tell that it also wasn't previously frozen due to the color and texture. The miso soup and the spicy edamame were well-seasoned and delicious. My nephew had a combination plate with orange chicken, broccoli beef, and chicken fried rice. One thing to note that was really nice is that the restaurant allows you to create your own combination plates, they're not set items with no substitutions. When our waitress brought my nephew's combo plate, the food looked freshly cooked and delicious! He ate every bite! If you're ever in Hughson, try the Hughson Asian Kitchen - the friendly staff and tasty food won't disappoint!

I was born and raised on going to get chow mein after church. This is by far one of the best spots…read moreif not the best in the valley for flavor, texture and consistency. They have the BEST sweet and sour chicken i've ever had; never a bad piece and always the best flavor. You would be shocked to see sushi on the menu until you see the chef who is a master of his craft. I've tried most the rolls and am never disappointed in flavor, freshness or presentation. Easily placing the sushi here as good if not better than osaka. I put my pops onto this spot and i now can finally close our ever lasting debate of who has the best chow mein in the 209/Valley.

Definitely one of the best sushi spots around. Made an order for pick up by phone. This place is…read morealways busy so I recommend ordering ahead of time. Ordered the usual items, garlic edamame which is a busy, and then the bts roll and dantes inferno. Everything was great. Tasted fresh. This place will always be my go to for fresh sushi.

Sushi restaurant or a nightclub?…read more My friend and I decided to go for a night out Downtown. When we arrived at about 7:00pm, we were told there would be about an hour wait. Despite this long wait, there were actually quite a few empty tables, but was overall still very busy. When you put yourself on the waitlist, they notify you through text when your table is ready. This gave us ample time to walk around Downtown while we waited. When we received the table-ready text (just short of an hour later), we were sat quickly in a nice U-shaped booth. This seating arrangement felt a bit awkward for a party of two, especially if you are sharing food. The booth is too big to be sitting close enough to reach but too small to not feel awkward. It is perfect for people watching though since the booths face the entire restaurant. By this time, the restaurant was completely packed, with just about every booth, table, and barstool occupied. Our waiter came quickly to take our drink orders. We got a Cucumber Martini and an Espresso Martini. The Cucumber Martini was incredibly light and refreshing. The Espresso Martini was not impressive. It didn't have a strong espresso flavor and was rather watery, but still alright. This is the type of restaurant, that especially on busy nights like this where they don't accept reservations, you should allocate a lot of time for the dinner service for. There is a significant time gap between each time the waiter comes around to take your order. There was probably 15-20 minutes between placing our drink, appetizer, and meal orders. This was not a problem for us, but if you are eating here before making a show at the Gallo Center, this may be something to consider. For our appetizer, we ordered the Salmon Ceviche. It was insanely good. It was subtly spicy and citrusy. The chips that came with it were light and not oily at all. I wish the portion was larger because the two of us swallowed it up in just a few bites. For our entree, we got the Salmon Tataki and Goodi Rolls to split. They were both very good and came out on a lovely platter. They tasted very fresh and high quality. The prices here are on the higher side but is nice for a special occasion or splurge. Our server was very attentive and checked on us often. He was super friendly too. The restaurant was super lively. They were playing club music which was totally a vibe. It looked like this was the spot people hit before going out for the night. I noticed they were accommodating for both small and large parties, serving both rather quickly. I'll be back!
