Got explosive food poisoning from the chicken. Also, the waitress was rude and had attitude when I asked about accommodating allergies. read more

Very friendly and fast service. We were a party of 6 and sat at the hibachi table. We were immediately seated and our drink orders were taken right away. We ordered sushi appetizers and then hibachi dinners. The chef did the traditional food/fire show. We were done with our dinner and back in our car within 45 minutes! We will be back for dinner again soon. read more

I've been to Samurai a number of times as my kids live in the area and there aren't many hibachi options in Croton. The food is overpriced and underwhelming. It took a recent visit to Edo's hibachi in Port Chester for me to realize how subpar Samurai really is. The salmon there, while they give plenty of it, is not very fresh, the chicken is dry and needs to be smothered in ginger sauce to have any flavor, and the steak is nothing special. The soup is bland, and the salad is limp and covered in watery dressing. The prices aren't cheap either....a typical hibachi dinner will run you around $25. Edo's hibachi is better in almost every way. Soup is tasty with bits of onion and scallions, salad is hearty with delicious dressing, salmon is sushi grade, slightly crispy, and fantastic (my son declared it was the best fish dish he ever had), chicken comes in thick, tender flavorful chunks. This is the problem with lack of competition... Samurai doesn't have local competition around so they've grown lazy, uninspired, and use cheap ingredients and overcharge for them. Skip samurai, save your money, and take the trip to Edo's. read more

there was the worst sushi we ever ate in 20 years. The rice was supposed to dry a lot of wedges instead of fish, very un tasteful and didn't look fresh at all wasn't worse to spend $150. read more

The fish is always fresh and delicious. The delivery people are always nice and they make sure to leave the order at the right condo. The presentation is beautifully done and the colors magnificent. The sushi is delicious as is the Miso soup. Pretty tasty. read more

Great food, and good service. Done in or take out; both are good options. The Hibachi is a fun experience.

Great night. Good food and entertainment with the cooking. Highly recommend, the kids loved it. Service was good also.

Avoid this hibachi spot if you are Celiac or have any dietary restrictions. The staff, chefs and management do not understand and are unwilling to learn for the safety of their customers. First off, I'd like to start by explaining that this was not a one time bad experience and now I'm angry and writing a review. I have been a customer of Samurai for years. I've had dinners with my boyfriend and his three children, we've celebrated birthdays and holidays here, we've even brought our families from out of town in to eat. I have given them ample opportunities to get this right because I like the ambiance and it's close to home. Time after time I leave feeling frustrated and emotionally exhausted from the staff being uneducated about my food allergies. I have been sick so many nights and I've sworn I would never go back but I find myself giving them another chance- mainly because the kids always want to go. This time I will never go back. They just don't get it! Last night I went in with my boyfriend and his three children for dinner. I ordered pad Thai and fried rice ( Gluten-free ) and I said to them absolutely NO SOY SAUCE ON ANYTHING. The server just couldn't comprehend. My first dish ( rice)came and it had soy sauce in it. I sent it back. Then the second dish(pad Thai )came with teriyaki drizzled all over the food and dish. Teriyaki has soy sauce in it!!! They just don't understand! So frustrating. This kind of stuff makes people very sick. So I sent it back and told them to forget about it. I had lost my appetite and did not trust their ability to make this dish safely anymore. The staff's poor English makes it impossible to ensure food safety for people with serious allergies. My advice to anyone with a serious food allergy or celiac would be to avoid this restaurant at all costs. And a note to the restaurant management, You should have warnings on your menus stating cross contamination of gluten is possible. Also, you should have someone there at all times who can communicate properly in English while taking food orders. Samurai, this is basic stuff when you are running a restaurant. read more

Worst hibachi of my life! Our server was decent, our chef was very sloppy. The place is small and loud. Will not be back

I always go here when I'm in Croton. Amazing sushi, noodles, and fried rice. The owners and staff are super friendly and know their customers. Great atmosphere :) read more

Will not order from here again nor recommend anyone to order from this one lace. Very very disappointed with the inability to reach to this business about my order. Please be advise the number posted here is not the number for the restaurant. Will be reporting this to @Yelp and GrubHub. read more

Take out was good, expensive but was okay. It would have been nice if the guy at the desk would have smiled and maybe said "thank you" or something rather than frowning after I spent $122.00. And although the food was good, I've had much better. Not the first time I've experience this sourly attitude. Probably won't go back again. read more

We were very good customers until tonight. The chef was terrible, rude, added too much pepper to the rice so you could not eat it and it was raw. I asked for well done chicken and he served it to me raw. When I told him it was raw he starting cleaning the grill. The portions were cut in half and when I said where are the veggies the Manager said they were just for decorations.The Manager was not very sympathetic but after arguing she finally took off my dinner. We will never be back. The grill was dirty too. P.S. their air conditioner did not work. read more

Very tasty sushi! I got a basic order of california rolls and miso soup, but i recommend two orders since one order is just 6 pieces. read more

Love the food! I usually get vegetarian dishes; sweet potato, cucumber/avocado and samurai fried rice dish. The seafood is good and people I know haven't gotten sick for any of the food. Delivery is on time and I will order again. Thank you! read more

Mother's day. Made a reservation for Hibachi at 6pm, arrive, no seats. accept 4 top after 1/2 hour wait, drinks, no big deal. 6:30 Sit, order, 30 minutes of waiting. A Japanese family of 8 sit and is served with in 5 minutes, a family friend? co-owner? Manager / owner comes to talk to them, they appear clueless. Feeling like a SECOND CLASS citizen by now, a little racist / classist -feels like crap either way. 7:25 the food comes - not great. Does not make up for being treated like cattle. wait a FULL HOUR to be served, the food was ok at best for $30 a plate. We have had sushi here before - ok, but service was friendly - I am sure they were overwhelmed, hard to shake off being ignored on the wife's holiday. read more

Food was great and portions were generous service was 8/10 ambiance was really nice for what they have to work with

Perfect food. Large size and very good. This was a take out order. I will order from there again.

I had visited this restaurant a few years ago. I took advantage of in house and delivery for two time for each mode. I like to give a restaurant a second chance. I didn't go back for years did this restaurant change hands recently? I was at a relative's house and they were serving take out. It was delicious . I had a small gathering yesterday and ordered in. The delivery was fast the food was hot and fresh. The best Asian food in the Croton area. Hopefully they can offer catering, read more

Good local sushi place. Green tea is free. They charge for refills on soda without telling you it's a surcharge. read more

Very good suburban sushi and Japanese fare. The fish is fresh well sliced and just the right size (too many restaurants think bigger fish is better sushi - I completely disagree) and the rice is warm and well shaped. This is my go-to joint in the area - which says something from someone who has dined at yasuda, nobu, and many other top nyc sushi "joints". It's a little too " straight forward" and the wasabi isn't fresh so I couldn't give it a higher rating. For the burbs - it's a keeper. read more

So I am coming here for a few years and forgot to review the "Samurai" Shame on me. First of all, I don't understand why there is even one bad review. I NEVER had a bad meal here (In probably 5 years now). Never had Hibachi because we come for the Sushi. So far the Sushi has been fresh, the rolls are not overloaded with non-fish fillers like in many other places and the quality is consistent. Some specials to spike up the menu every couple weeks. Wine list is catering to the audience, if wish there would be some higher end choices. read more

Great place to go for dinner and some fun. I'm a person who loves hibachi in general but the last few places I have been to were mediocre at best. The chef, I believe his name was tony, was an absolute delight. He made dinner fun and delicious. The steak and salmon were cooked too perfection and the rice and noodles were . The avocado tuna bowl was great too. Will definitely return again! read more

I got food poisoning from here. 0/5 do NOT recommend unless you feel like vomiting up every single thing you try to eat the next day. Good luck ! PS - Asagao has much better sushi. Problem is they are rarely open as their hours are quite ridiculous. read more

Very good hibachi! We ate here, 2 families - 4 adults and 4 young kids, before the Pumpkin Blaze and it was delicious. Friendly, helpful staff. Good quality food. Fast service. We were happy to have found this option while we were in town for the evening. read more

. have been a loyal customer since the establishment opened. I ordered delivery online and under the instructions, it indicated it was contact list delivery. I'm the memo section I indicated to text or call as the door bell doesn't work. There's also a huge sign on the door confirming this. After my third call to the restaurant I asked for a refund as steak is no good cold.... Especially at that price. The woman on the phone asked the driver what happened and he screamed into the phone the door bell doesn't work and he left it outside a long time ago. He also called me derogatory names for his carelessness. As if the sign on the door, my memo advising him to call or text, and the website protocol he should've called but instead he belittled me and made me cry from his harsh words. I will never go there again but if you do, don't order delivery. They lost a loyal customer. read more

Always fun, always entertaining, always delicious. We have been here numerous times and have never had a bad experience. We've come with as many as 14 people to 4 and always had a phenomenal experience. Hibachi chefs are very fun and the food is consistently delicious. I say give it a try. read more

I have been coming to Samurai for well over a decade. I used to come here even prior to renovations they did on the walls years back. Tonight within 5 mintues of our hibachi being done, they asked us if we want to box it up. They rushed us the entire meal and we felt they wanted to close early. I left a tip of 13% and then was questioned by the waitress why. She just couldnt grasp why you dont try an rush a family in and out in under a hour. They lost a long tine customer who came often. Many other Hibachi spots around. As others have mentioned, service is plain rude. Never ever again. read more

We stopped in here after seeing the great reviews and were not disappointed! Sushi was fabulous. Loved the million dollar roll! Also the tuna salsa appetizer was incredible! Our service was fast and friendly and I'm sure we'll be back! read more

Worst Hibachi and Sushi place., waited for our order for 30 mins only to find out that one order is wrong, and it took another 30 mins to prepare the order.. not recommending this place read more

I am sorry, but I have no idea how other's have rated this place 4 or 5 stars. This place is not good. Anyway - I came here with my friend after going to the Blaze. We ordered two rolls - one shrimp tempura and one spicy tuna roll. Both rolls were eh and were made kind of strange. The shrimp tempura roll had lettuce in it for some reason and the spicy tuna roll had tempura flakes in it. We then shared the hibachi chicken meal. The meal comes with - soup, salad and a shrimp appetizer. The soup was a mushroom soup that tasted like warm water. The salad was good - of course the dressing made it. The shrimp appetizer were two little tinny tiny shrimp. The veggies and chicken were pretty good, but the noodles were over cooked and covered in grease. If you want some good sushi you need to visit Magoya in Chester, NY - now that is some good sushi! read more

Samurai is a relatively small sushi and habachi restaurant. It has it's own parking lot. My wife and are regulars for lunch and an occasional dinner. We have always been satisfied by both the food and the service. On a scale of 1 to 10 of Japanese resturants I would rate it 9. Much higher than expected for an ethnic eatery in a small riverside town. The food is excellent if you allow enough time for preparation. Like ANY restaurant coming here after a big local event is a gamble. My wife and I have traveled extensivly and have eaten in the best ethnic restaurants at home and abroad. Much of this was business travel so expense was not a factor. While Samurai is not quite in the Michlin 4 star league as far as location and decor goes, the food ranks right up there. And isn't food what you go to a restaurant for? read more

Do you like garlic? If you do, this is the place for you. We happen to love it~ the option for garlic noodles instead of rice is refreshing. We had the dinner for two with all the meats you could dream of in the hibachi side of the restaurant. Done to perfection we were stuffed by the time we left. The ginger dressing on the salad was one of the best I have had at a Japanese steakhouse. We did not try the sushi, the soup appetizer was average, flavorful and mild like one expects. Cozy atmosphere. There are not too many Japanese Steakhouses around this area. Although it is not the best I have been to, if you are craving one, you will not be disappointed. read more
