" Samurai Buffalo is a fantastic place to enjoy Asian cuisine! The sushi is superb and the menu offers a variety of traditional Japanese food. My recent visit was incredibly positive, and the ambiance is lovely too! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for dinner last night with my partner and left very satisfied! The flavors were on point and the salmon was fresh. The only downside was that we waited a while for our orders, but we weren’t in a rush so it didn't bother us too much. Overall, a great dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Samurai Buffalo last weekend, and I was not disappointed. The hibachi chef put on a great show and the food was delicious! I especially loved the teriyaki chicken; it was high-quality and tasted authentic. The only downside is that it gets crowded on weekends, so make sure to arrive early if you can! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, my experience at Samurai Buffalo was quite enjoyable. Everything was delicious—especially their tempura! The ambiance was relaxing, making it a great place to unwind. The only criticism I have is regarding the variety of options for people with dietary restrictions. I hope they can improve in that aspect. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love the ambiance of Samurai Buffalo! It's cozy and perfect for a quiet meal. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. I had the salmon sashimi and it was perfection. The only downside was the wait time—it was quite busy on a Friday night. I still plan on going back soon because the food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful food and good service! Samurai Buffalo offers a real taste of Japan. Everything was served beautifully, and I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. Major kudos to the chef for the wonderful sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Samurai Buffalo with a few coworkers last week after hearing rave reviews. The sushi rolls didn't disappoint, though I did find them slightly overpriced for the size. The ambiance was nice, but it wasn't as quiet as I would have liked for a business meal. Overall, satisfied but not blown away. " (*Curated Review*)
