I am relatively new in town-and wanted to find a local sushi spot. I found this place off of social media-I ordered the steak hibachi and two of their sushi rolls. The hibachi was tasty-good temperature and good portion size. But the sushi-let's just say there was a lot left to be desired. The portion size was incredibly small for the price point and not very fresh in my opinion. Wasn't awful-but, nothing to make me want to spend my money again. read more

Food was decent Service was good, and had nice recommendations. It is pretty quiet, nice calm music. Bathrooms are clean read more

Stopped by on a Wed for the all you can eat lunch. The sushi was better than average but not stellar which is to be expected when it's AYCE. Clear soup was good but served in a plastic to-go cup. Seaweed salad was served hot which was odd but still tasty. My friend had shrimp hibachi. They said it and the rice were good. I'd give them 4 or 5 stars but we preferred to sit outside. Initially they didn't want us to and had to call the owner for permission. They have tables outside. WTH are do they think those tables are used for? My suspicion is that they thought I was going to share my AYCE sushi with friend. We got the same feeling we get being cavity searched when leaving Costco. It was quite crappy. Told them we were sitting outside or going elsewhere. They conceded. Very s****y treatment of customers. Immediate suspicion and expectation of customer theft. They need to stop projecting their culture. read more

My sister took my daughter and I to this place a two days ago for takeout. I ordered the chicken hibachi with a Pepsi to drink and the next day I had stomach cramps, watery diarrhea, and vomiting. It's good thing my 2 year old daughter is picky otherwise she would've been sick too. I don't know what happened to this place because I been here once before and never got sick. I will not return back. read more

I give them I solely went based on the beautiful pics from Instagram. I'd been debating over the last several months whether or not to stop in. Exhaust of previous bad reviews, but those pics just confirmed I had to try. I was disappointed!!! I ordered the Tiger Eyes and granted maybe they wouldn't have looked exactly like the pic, but I expected close to it. Also the texture is so one note, needs something crunchy. The Red Samurai Roll was so small and they left out several ingredients. I paid $11 for it. It was NOT worth the price. The fried Gyoza was over fried. I do NOT recommend them. There are other places with more affordable and better tasting sushi. Also their presentation is always on par... it's worth the drive to go to Flowood and eat at Osaka or Brandon and eat at Asahi. read more

Sushi is excellent! Absolutely can tell that it is made fresh! Wife order the chicken hibachi and she said she highly preferred it over an actual hibachi grill. Would recommend for anyone wanting something quick, usually only wait 5-10 minutes! read more

I ordered from UberEats and the rolls were good! The only complaint I have is that they don't give you kikkoman soy sauce but instead give you those cheap watered down Chinese soy sauce packets. It made the sushi taste ooookay.. read more

Chopsticks your sweetheart dedsert,& movie, sounds really good when your bringing hibachi home

This will definitely be one of our new favorites! Online ordering and pickup was a breeze. Everyone was masked and you could tell they were serious about Covid safety precautions. Everything was in our order - all of the food, sides, appropriate utensils, sauces, everything! That may not sound like a huge deal, but this isn't always the case when we do pickup and I appreciate the attention to detail. Definitely recommend! read more

My order took 1 hour and 45 mins to be delivered. DoorDash called and several times and they were waiting on my order. My order was delivered and several items were missing. I called red Samurai and all they could say was they were cleaning the kitchen and she would tell the manager. No help at all. read more

I wasn't that impressed with the sushi or this restaurant to be honest. I live in Jackson but drove out to Madison for it because of the high Yelp reviews. I don't think the place is anything to write home about. I was expecting a nice evening on a date but the restaurant looks like a Panera bread. It's BYOB, too. There are lots of sauces to choose from which is fun, but the food took a bit to come out. I don't feel the need to go back. read more

Once again, have a disappointment with Red Samurai. The food quality is average to better than average, but the predictability of service is well below average. When we take the time to pre-order so that the order can be ready 10 minutes before we get here, and upon arrival we learn that they are cleaning the kitchen and they will let us know when the order will be ready..... Not to take out dining experience that I expect or desire. Consistent quality and timeless are what I need for takeout, and Red Samurai does not provide that. When passing the food across the counter, there was no apology, no empathy for our long wait. We will try every other Asian restaurant in the area before we return. read more

Ordered here a lot for lunch, it is fast and clean. Love their shrimp Yakisoba. It will be awesome if they could give a little more portion of the noodles. All my clothes are XXS, and it can't fill me up! read more

This place has good food. They have fast friendly service to. Not a sushi fan, I always order hibachi. I had the hibachi steak & scallops. Yum. They serve a real good soup and salad too. I plan to go back again. Also, they honored my 10% off coupon that I received 2 weeks before my recent visit. read more

I have eaten here before and it was great. Friday November 12, 2021, the sushi rolls were warm or at least room temperature and they had an off taste. At least I didn't get sick. read more

Food is EXTREMELY good and very affordable. Went here with my friends and the guy who helped us was extremely nice and understanding felt like he appreciated having us there and happy to answer questions and serve us. The place is really cute great environment read more

I love this place. There was only 1 guy working on a Friday night, and he was killing it. Answering the phone, bussing tables and taking orders at the counter, and he was still super friendly. The food was also great. 12 bucks all you can eat sushi, and it comes with a soup and salad. I was SO full. read more

I decided to try Red Samurai based on previous Yelp reviews. I had sushi only and ordered the Sushi pizza and salmon lovers roll. So the main thing that jumped out at me was that my avocado pieces were brown. I get that avocados oxidize, but for presentation purposes restaurants can't be dishing out brown avocado. I should also note that I arrived after 8pm, so maybe that's an end of day issue. The sushi pizza is a cool concept and enough food for one. Plus it comes with a California roll. The salmon lovers roll was OK, but I didn't think the mango was balanced well. I am going back. I look forward to trying the hibachi. Oh, and I wish they put chopsticks in my carryout bag! read more

This was our first visit to Red Samurai. The noodles and sushi were really good. My only critic is about the rice, while the portion was more than enough, I do feel like it could had more flavor. Otherwise we were completely satisfied with our meal! We'll be back to try more. read more

Red Samurai Express - Hibachi vegetable, no carrots with extra egg, Vegetable noodles and veggie roll and tempura chicken roll. - Japanese Near Me - Madison, Mississippi

Good place for a quick hibachi meal. This place falls in between OEC and a Hibachi restaurant that cooks at the table in front of you. The vegetables include broccoli which is a nice touch. The pink sauce is good, but they no longer have the hot pepper paste which is a must have item for me. The closest they have is a bottle of Sriracha. Prices are reasonable. read more

First time eating here. Ordered to go. Very friendly. Best Hibachi "to go" I've had yet! Very good! Very clean environment. Even received a free drink for signing up for their club. No complaints this way :-) read more

Red Samurai was great. I've been waiting to try it because I have friends who say it's great and go several times a week. It was exactly ass I expected- and OEC type Japanese. Not too Fancy. Styrofoam plates, as expected. However, they had the mother of all sushis- a sushi burrito. I didn't even scan the rest of the menu after that. I knew what my belly was destined for. Mine was tuna. So good. I ate it all. So pleased. Very full. Prices are good. read more

Not a busy day at all and they took over 45 minutes to bring out a simple chicken and rice, absolutely not ok

Almost an hour for my to go order (1 meal). Zero communication happening and it looks like the teen daughter up front to figure it out. When times are difficult and restaurants are struggling one would think customer service would be top priority. read more

Just had a very unhappy take out experience. A simple order of combination Hibachi with extra chicken. Arrived when the app said it would be ready at 6:11 and they could not find my order. Eventually found, they told me 5 more minutes. I walked out 35 minutes later. While there, I witnessed a waitr driver helping them get her pick up order correct, frustrated patrons in the restaurant, and other take out customers who were visibly unhappy. We really enjoy the quality of the food here but have I had long wait at the restaurant. Tonight, I also had friends who came in and ordered at the counter when I came in to pick up, and their food in the restaurant arrived there tables before my takeout order was ready. This might be our last experience with Red Samurai. read more

Me and the wife stopped in on a trip back home. We walked in and the staff was friendly enough however, not the friendliest people I have ever encountered. I ordered the chicken and steak hibachi dinner and she ordered some sushi. The food came out very quickly and was hot and fresh. The chicken and steak were on par with any other Japanese steakhouse but, for the price I cannot complain but, my wife said the sushi was delicious. We will most likely stop back in whenever we are in the area. If you are looking for a tasty Japanese steakhouse without all the glitz, glamour, and price of the other places I would check this place out! read more

While the food is good, the upfront staff needs better training. She gets easily confused and flustered. After waiting 25 minutes for a take out, the lady up front told me somebody "took my order". Uh, no. She gave them the wrong order. So waited another 25 minutes. What concessions did Red Samurai make for making me wait almost an hour for take out? 10% off next visit (A joke. Threw the card away). Ding How has food just as good, but with much customer service. No comparison really. read more

Good service and good food. I always call in for the Sushi Burrito and it's always ready really fast. Great for when I want to eat something different than my family does. read more

I had the 3 roll lunch combo (California, spicy shrimp, and crunchy crab) and it was all very good. I had the Ginger salad with my order and it was good also. The dressing seemed to be a little watery compared to others I have had, but still had a good flavor. My husband got the chicken and steak hibachi. He had soup with his meal and it was a nice change from typical Japanese places. Service was friendly and our food came out quickly. The price was excellent and if we are back in the area I would stop by again. read more

Sushi burritos. Well priced hibachi. Freaky fast service. It's got everything you need!!

Excellent sushi/hibachi fast-casual dining experience. We had the all you can eat sushi dinner special. The soup came in a large bowl, and the sushi came with generous pieces of fish but also a lot of rice (fills you up). Self serve soda fountain and plastic utensils. It all tasted wonderful, and the donuts were fantastic. read more

Best hibachi in madison. The sushi also good. They have some unique sushi rolls like sushi pizza,sushi sandwich,etc. The staff so friendly (last time i got disc card 10% off..hihihi) Check this place out guys..! read more

The food here is awesome. My family loves it. This place is clean, employees are friendly and the service is quick.

Food is amazing!!! It was love at first bite!!! Everything was fresh and made in a timely manner. Staff are extremely friendly & the interior decorating on the inside is beautiful. Very clean environment & I am very impressed!! Definitely a hidden secret in Madison! read more

Great food, prices and atmosphere. They've got promotions on Facebook, Yelp and online orders, not to mention the VIP rewards you get for each order that'll give free drinks, appetizers, free hibachi and free sushi. On top of all that, its always clean inside too. read more

Good sushi but really really slow. I don't think I have picked up an online order that has been ready yet. If you don't mind the long wait the $10 wrap is pretty good. read more

The food was fine but as we were eating there was a group of high school baseball players eating next to us. When they left a worker in the restaurant came over and cleaned the table. He checked to see if each salad had been eaten. If they hadn't he took them back to serve again. Yuck! read more

Heather D..based on what you said, you must've had a friend fired by the owner and are out for revenge? We have been coming to Red Samurai for the past few years. We have always found the restaurant to be very clean and the food to be top notch for a fast food hibachi place. I have seen a few times where the new hires working the cash register think they can have an attitude and play on there phones instead of service with a smile. They have not lasted long because they think they can bring McDonald's to this place...wrong! I think this is what Heather D is describing as "The employees" All I have to say is I've never been disappointed with the food, cleanliness and professional manner at which the owner operates. I, myself, am a business owner and understand what it is like to hire the generation that feels they can do nothing and get paid. Thanks Red Samarai for offering a great place for fast food and great food for the $$. Keep up the great work! read more

Dishonest! I tried to redeem my voucher purchased here through yelp last night. The gentleman at the register who I believe must have been owner or manager by the way he presented himself told me they were no longer running their deal on yelp and preceded to pull out his phone to show me the deal was no longer offered. I said I understand that I'm not trying to purchase it now. I showed him where I've already purchased the deal and it's valid through 7/3/2017. $20 for $30 voucher. Even if the voucher had expired which it hasn't it states you will still receive your $20 original investment. He wouldn't ever give that. He kept showing me his phone where the offer isn't being sold anymore. Not the issue. So all of the voucher that were sold are not being honored by them! The vouchers are not only good as long as the businesses are currently running the special. They are good for full value until they expire and there isn't a time limit to using your original investment. They aren't honoring either! That is dishonest and shady. There's no telling how much they profited off of scamming people from this site. read more
