Samurai Sushi and Hibachi

We went for the first time and it was wonderful. We all had the all you can eat sushi dinner. The appetizers, sashimi & rolls were very good. Of the AYCE sushi I have tried, they had the biggest & best sashimi. We will go back.

Food was great but be forewarned regarding their leftovers policy. I have submitted a photo of an order a friend and I placed on their all you can eat menu (you be the judge) which was significant, as we were very hungry, but we were short four pieces. The waitress, which I believe was trying to be nice, pretty much said “I will not bring you your check until you eat your food” which was weird in and of itself, but I guess her heart was in the right place because she was warning us that we would get charged $1 per leftover piece.

I politely gestured to the manager who came over and showed him all the food we had ordered and how we did not eat the pieces because we did not like it that much. He did waive the surcharge, but proceeded to give us a lecture on the current price of salmon and how a lot of teenage girls will place big orders on the all you can eat menu and then ask for them to box them to take home. It was a very weird experience. I kept telling him that we understood and it was OK, but he would just further go into multiple examples on why they have that policy and that they have cameras and get into trouble with the owners if they see uneaten food that goes un-billed. I have to say it was a weird and awkward experience.

We spent $80 between two people and tipped generously which was more than enough to cover for the order of food. We did not need to be made that uncomfortable. But like I told the manager “we understand”…I guess.

My girlfriend and I always come here for the all you can eat sushi. The sushi, and Sashimi are always super good and I haven’t had anything I dislike yet. The servers are super attentive and kind, no matter who we get. The food comes out in a timely manner. Cocktails are always mixed and balanced well. The restaurant always seems very clean and I always see tables being bussed. Definitely worth the price.

One of the best all you can eat sushi places in the cities! I love that they also have appetizers and desserts on the all you can eat menu. It’s a pretty good deal if you order an amount that you can actually eat (they do charge extra if you don’t finish a roll). The sushi itself isn’t the best I’ve ever had but $23 per person for a lunch on the weekend? You can’t beat that!! My favorite roll was the Yum Yum and really enjoyed the green tea ice cream at the end.

Took the family here for all you eat sushi and I would say of all of the restaurants in this model Samurai is now our favorite. Service was fast and friendly and the food was great. Overall we had an excellent experience. We will definitely be back.

Love this place for their spacious seating area. We are there rather early before the peak weekend dinner time. All of us ordered AYCE sushi dinner. Our wait staff is attentive, friendly and patience. Most importantly the sashimi portion size is bigger than most other places with the same offering. Fried items like shrimp tempura are very well done. All in all my favorite within Twin Cities area.

– sushi were BIG portions with lots of rice wrapped around (which mean we couldn’t really try many rolls cuz we got full easily)
– we left about 5 sushi rolls leftover, they didn’t charge us for waste
– the vibe isn’t like Kyoto it’s not very busy (staff is usually just standing around waiting) went on a Friday 5:45pm
– location is close to target, fresh thyme and CFA which is cool (off of 494)
– we made the mistake of ordering chicken wings, squid salad and crab salad to try which not good
– habachi is pretty loud in the background

I think this location used to be Osaka. We were pleasantly surprised to find they serve All You Can Eat lunch or dinner menus, as well as their regular menu options. I will mention that their Sashimi slices were decent in size. And, their menu specifies that you must eat the items you order, including the rice, if you’re eating off the AYCE menu.
