" I had a lot of expectations going in based on friends’ recommendations, but sadly, Samurai didn't measure up. The atmosphere was cozy, but the food was several notches below what I hoped. I expected a vibrant hibachi experience, but with no chef at the grill, it felt just bland. The staff was nice, but again the food did not impress. It felt overly heavily sauced and lacked the authentic flavor profile I seek in Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Samurai has hit or miss dishes. I visited with family, and we were split on flavors; some found the sushi enchanting, while others thought it bland. I can say service was commendable, and I enjoy the atmosphere, but food consistency is essential. Despite my mixed review, I might give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent meal at Samurai. Nothing stood out in a good way, and honestly, I expected more authentic flavors. The decor was nice, and I felt welcomed, but the food didn’t live up to those vibes. My sushi was alright, but the hibachi chicken was bland. Overall, not terrible but also not a place I’ll rush back to. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Samurai was a struggle. The service was hit or miss; while some staff were attentive, others seemed overwhelmed. The food had an unappealing taste, definitely not what we expected from a 'steakhouse.' We ordered various dishes, and it felt like we were eating leftovers from a buffet rather than fresh hibachi. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you're looking for excellent Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Samurai was disappointing. Although the atmosphere was decent, the food left much to be desired. The hibachi lacked flavor and didn't feel authentic. The service was friendly, but it couldn't make up for the mediocre dining experience. I expected more from a Japanese steakhouse. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was beyond my expectations! The sushi rolls had good flavors, and most of the rolls didn’t disappoint. Service was attentive even during the dinner rush, and I found the place quite charming. I would return to try other items on the menu, especially if the staff continues to provide good service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a decent experience overall. The bento boxes were a good size, and I liked the gyoza. However, for a Japanese restaurant, their flavors felt off and a bit westernized. I wouldn’t say it was a bad experience, but I also wouldn't say it was impressive enough to make me come back any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)
