Lunch visit today and one server. He was working hard and did a fantastic attentive job from start to finish with about 5 tables of two or more except for me, plus take out orders. The food was out quickly and was correct per my order. The problem was oil. I ordered noodles and I've never seen noodles with this much oil on them in my life. The egg rolls were also not very good or fresh. But overall the main issue was oil. I literally poured 6 ounces from my plate into my soup bowl of just oil and that was not all there was. I can't imagine how that took what was a decent lunch into a massive calorie meal. I've heard others say great things but that's just too much. read more

First time there. We ordered three different sushi rolls one was called Summer roll we ordered it to go and when we got home we had the shock of Our Lives that Sushi tasted and smelled like mothballs both me and my wife spit the roll back into our plates The Taste was so bad. We called the restaurant to advise them of the taste and they wanted to argue about the taste we can say that we will never go there again read more

The sashimi is excellent. There are three sushi chefs, so the service is fast. This place also has hibachi, which is fun and tasty for groups. Friendly service from all of the staff. My family frequents this restaurant at least once per week. read more

The hibachi experience is well done. We like Jose a lot. He is awesome!! So why two stars? I always order sushi and sit at the grill with me family. It has come out when they bring soup to the table. On three occasions they forgot to put my order in. Only to say they would not charge me. The manager/owner acted like it was no big deal saying she would remake it the next time. We went back a week later and no mention of the sushi Very disappointing it appears that the customer service skills are disappearing read more

Forever my favorite restaurant, recently moved away and I miss this place so much. Food is always great, and the service is great too. I'm picky so I always order the fried rice with yum yum sauce, it never disappoints. read more

Outstanding food and customer service. The staff was fantastic (attentive, friendly and professional). We had a party of 16 and all 16 were impressed. We'll be back. read more

When I place a call in order and show up to pay I expect you to be able to process my credit card payment. When your system is down and I stand there for 20 minutes you should either take my payment manually or give me my food. When you say it's not your problem that's not the right answer. read more

I actually created a yelp account because the customer service at this place was some of the worst I have ever experienced. Walked in at 7:30 to get a spot at the hibachi table and was told 15 mins or so and we would have the next side of a table that becomes available. As we waited at the bar, we were never even offered a drink or even acknowledged by the 'bartender'. Then we watched as people coming in after us waited at least 10 mins to place just a simple to go order. After taking their order the 'host ' (Just one of the 3 random employees that occasionally rotated towards the front) then asked if we had been helped, explained that we had, but wanted to order some beers. He walked away and no one ever came back up to the bar area. Finally at 8:10 a party walks in late for their 8pm reservation. Another host/busser/waiter then tells them he's going to sit them at the table that had finally cleared. I stopped him and said the other host told us we had the next table available and been waiting for 40 mins. He then responded with, well they have a reservation. At that point I was pissed and told him I don't care if they have a reservation, they were late and we wouldn't have sat here this long if someone just explained that they were going to sit late reservations in front of patrons that had been already waiting. After dealing with this absolute shit show of obvious lack of management and any sort of customer service training to their assumed high school staff, I would never recommend going here unless you set the expectations extremely low and maybe get lucky that a person of relative competence will be there to take care of you. End result is we walked out with a now cranky 4 and 6 year old that hadn't had dinner yet and proceeded down the road to Sushi Yamakazi. Who actually had a real host and took care of us right away and provided completely normal customer service, which is all that is expected. read more

Decent place for hibachi, sushi is better. We go quite a bit cause not that many options. Drinks are hit and miss cause they don't have a real bartender. It's small so if you want hibachi you better call. Only 3 hibachi tables in restaurant. read more

BEST sushi around! They always have the best salmon and tuna sashimi. They have a variety of unique rolls that are great too. And the sushi chefs are always willing to create something new for you. The food and service are always excellent!! read more

This place is AWESOME their staff are all nice and quick the service is wonderful this place is the sushi place of all sushi places.Whenever me and my family come here my sister always cheers! Hope this place keeps going strong! read more

Tokyo Samurai - A good meal - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bartonville, Texas

Update: Just spoke with the manager and he said we're welcome to retry them again and hopefully the service will be better. We'll be passing on this offer to experiment for "hopefully" better service on my own dime. _____ Went here Saturday at 6:30 and we were greeted immediately. The waiter went over some of her favorite items on the menu and we found that pretty helpful...that's about the only good part of this experience. We told the waiter we're in no hurry (which shouldn't be an issue because the place was pretty empty). We ordered edamame, miso soup, and ginger house salads as apps, and the rest of the meal was ordered from the sushi menu. In lightning speed the soup and salad arrived AND 5 minutes later sushi also started arriving at the table. Where's the edamame, and can we have a few minutes to enjoy what's in front of us before eating the main course? I told them again that we're not in a hurry and we want the apps, first. A second waiter removed the sushi from our table and just placed the plate of cold sushi under a warm light 5' from us. What the hell? Here comes plate #2 with more sushi from another waiter! Still no edamame, plate #1 is getting warm under a light, and we're barely into the soup and salad. I asked the second waiter to please do something about this and he quickly snipped back with "what do you expect me to do" in which I replied "I give up, disregard the final app and let's move along ". The table now has four plates of sushi on it and the last app finally arrives... I repeated the request to disregard it and the waiter gave us a look and marched off with it. In summary: lousy communication, amateur customer service, warm sushi delivered at breakneck speed. This was the fastest most unsatisfactory $105 dinner I think I've ever had. read more

This place was AMAZING!!! We ordered the panther sushi roll, and 3 hibachi dinners and nothing but delicious food! My wife and I brought our 3 and 1 year old and every waiter stopped by and made the experience memorable. I can't possibly see why some be would rate this place less then 4 stars. Would come here before mt Fuji any day of the week!!! Give this place a try, ASAP!! read more

I've been to this place probably about 5 times in the last 2-3 months. I will preface this review by saying that this is typically at least a 4 star experience and I've been meaning to review it for a while now, so I hate that I'm finally doing it after a not so good experience. The hibachi has always been great. Never had a bad experience there. However, last night, I dined alone, so I sat in the dining area and had hibachi from the kitchen. They always say "It's the same thing, they just make it in the back." This was NOT what I was accustomed to. Everything from start to finish was just not good. I started with a shrimp tempura roll that just unrolled and fell apart when I picked pieces up with my chopsticks. I had the scallop and shrimp hibachi. One of the scallops was rubbery and the shrimp were just OK. The rice, which is what I MOST look forward to, was the huuuuuge let down. It had little to no flavor and had an odd metal like taste. I didn't eat any of it and they were gracious enough to take it off when I explained. After this experience, I will probably not be back for a while, but if you're considering going, definitely go, but only if you can get seating for one of the hibachi chefs. read more

Had an early dinner. Food was really good. My wife and daughter had California rolls, I had the hibachi chicken and scallops dinner. Second time here, both times excellent. Will be back. read more

Really had a nice time with the family. Food was good as well as the service. The chef was entertaining as well and the boys loved it. Will be back especially for the sushi. read more

If you haven't been here in a while, you need to come back!! We haven't been here in six months! New owners, new management, new wait staff, Met new owner tonight, wow what a change from previous owners. Food is AWESOME! Cooked to order, flavorful and done right. We will be back soon. read more

Dinners beware! Used to be a regular customer who was dining with my family when my little cousin who was visiting asked the waitress if she could have sake glass. Waitress said yes. Two days later I was served with trespass warning. Dinners beware. They took my name from my credit card and served my nephew and my small children as they were walking their puppy in Lantana. Be careful neighbors. Did I mention my little cousin was visiting my mom who had cancer and was in the hospital? Sad but true and yes I am a business owner in this community who would never treat our customers in this manner. I even gave the manager my little cousin's name as the manager said she would remove my name from the incident. She did not keep her word! I also had my little cousin mail the sake cup and returned it to the Bartonville police chief and the folks at Tokyo Samurai did not remove the charges as promised. read more

This place is awesome!!! Bryan, the sushi chef is so consistent in delivering awesome rolls. Can't get enough of this place. I've tried every sushi restaurant in the area and this is hands down the very best. read more

amazing sushi even more amazing hibachi. our favorite place to go!! fried rice to die for!

Update review. We've been here several times and good and service is awesome. We always request master chief Yoman to do our hibachi. He's great with kiddies and adults. read more

I normally don't leave ratings/reviews, but had to this time. I love sushi and eat it often... so I know what I'm talking about. Probably the worst sushi rolls I've ever had. I was excited to try the lunch special, but was let down. Couldn't tell what I was eating... the taste was off, not fresh, rolls fell apart, and worst of all... my stomach hurts. Stay away from the salmon and eel! read more

After our last review and experience, a member of staff reached out and asked we give them another try. We ate there last night and the experience was much better - although very busy, we were greeted and seated quickly, drink order taken right away. Service was still a bit confusing, two different servers that didn't seem to know what the other had done. But very friendly and lots of smiling. Food was delicious. One item we ordered didn't arrive, but as we were so very full (and it wasn't on the bill), we considered it an honest mistake and happily excused the oversight. We will go back if they continue to deliver this caliber of food and service. read more

Finally an excellent sushi experience-best rolls ever. Been looking for a place which does some good sushi rolls and I'm happy to say this place is it! The shrimp tempura roll, the lovely, firecracker, tiger and panther were all freshly prepared and delicious. No skimping whatsoever on all the good stuff unlike other sushi places we tried which had a higher rice to other ingredients ratio. Service was also v fast and friendly. read more

One of my go to Hibachi/Japanese restaurants in the Lantana/Argyle area! Ever since they have opened, they have amazing service, a friendly staff, and their food is one of the best I've ever tasted. Their chicken fried rice is one of my favorites, as well as their specialty sushi rolls which are absolutely breathtaking. I look forward to going to this restaurant many more times in the future! read more

We come here 2-3x week for lunch and glad it's here. sushi is always fresh and service is good, one of the better ones!

I eat sushi three or four times a week and this is one of my favorite restaurants. Great lunch specials. Always fresh and great quality and portions. Server is very personable. Very glad I found this place here close to home! read more

Excellent food very high quality sushi for such and affordable price! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves friendly and attentive waiters and an excellent atmosphere! Every time you come they remember you and make you feel special! Keep it up Tokyo Samurai! read more

This place is pretty awesome! We went on a Monday night and they were understaffed on servers, they only had one server working the bar and the entire restaurant, which is the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. It's a pretty cool place to eat and watch them cook the food at your table, plus the food was DELICIOUS! Everyone at our table had the hibachi and I had the New York Roll, which was also delicious. It's a bit expensive but I guess you do get both dinner and a show lol I'll definitely be coming back here again though! read more

Well, just came here for the first time. Waited at the door to be seated for about ten minutes. No one ever acknowledged us coming in. Waiters constantly walking by and looking at us. Very disappointed. Would have liked to have eaten there. read more

Waited at the door for 10 minutes and no one ever came to the front to speak, let alone seat us. Such a shame!

Fun place, good price, and good food. The Hibachi guys are awesome and always make it a fun time. If you can, ask for "Yazmen" for your chef. We have had a few, but this guy has the best table humor, and always engages people while cooking the best meal I have ever had at any similar type of venue. read more

Wonderful meal!! Try the lobster roll and rainbow roll, they are great!! We love coming here before we go grocery shopping.

I have been to this facility five times and each time my order has been wrong. I keep trying the place again because it's close to my house. Tonight my husbands meal came out and 30 minutes later mine still had not come out. Finally I just asked for it to go and finally it came out. I expected something to be taken care of for us but the bill was the full charge. I approached the lead waiter because management is never available. I explained I wasn't paying for a cold meal to take home. Without hesitation or conversation he threatened to call the police. I left my meal and walked out and my husband paid for his. The service is awful, the food okay, and the staff is overwhelmed. read more

Visited a second time, for lunch instead of dinner. The spicy tuna tasted like it was days old and not quite so fresh. Excessive use of rice for nigiri. Way, way too much. And no lunch specials... Not sure if I will go back. read more

My only complaint is a young male walked in to the seating area from the kitchen wearing a ball cap that was on backwards and had marijuana leafs all over. Management needs to do something about dress code. Remember, this is a family restaurant. read more

Been here several times and the food is generally good. Came in tonight on Valentines Day and the staff was totally unprepared for a busy night--duh, it's Valentines Day. As a result, the service was horrible. read more

By far, the worst sushi I have ever had anywhere. The spider roll was rice around a bland, tasteless mush. The Boston roll had an unidentifiable off taste that even wasabi couldn't mask. The freshwater eel was pretty much OK, but when the pickled ginger is the best part of the meal you know you have a problem. There is Kroger in the same center. Go there andget better sushi for half the price. read more

Great service and quality of food. Much cleaner and nicer than a typical Hibachi grill. So far most of the menu has been great! 5 stars here! read more

Expectations for places like this are always high. Be prepared to be let down. There was zero taste to my chicken and the $$$$ for what your getting, just don't match. read more
