    Aaron M.

    This was an absolutely AMAZING experience!! Me and my husband found the atmosphere was welcoming and the decor was stunning. Our server was so attentive and sweet. We literally didn't have to ask for anything, she was in top of it the whole way through it was seamless! We will definitely be coming back again and again and again Good Job Samurai Sushi Bar & Grill!!

    We ordered sushi and sake! The rolls were delicious and filling. The yellowtail sashimi honestly tasted old and I can't believe they served it. The ikura was delicious. . The service was great and fast. The ambiance was okay and quiet.

    My wife and I went here today and both got sushi. I got the Kraken roll and my wife got the Crunchyroll. We split the California roll. Overall the experience was spectacular. The service was prompt. The food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Service was super quick and friendly. Food came out fast. The the sushi bar area was so clean and a nice quiet vibe with a beautiful dining area. The food was amazing. I got the noodles with the pork, and the pork melts in your mouth like butter. Absolutely will be a new regular spot.

    It's been a minute since I've been at a hibachi grill restaurant. After Covid I find it a very rare occasion due to my busy schedule these days. An old friend wanted to hang out so we decided to come here. It was my first time here so I wasn't sure it was a hibachi until I walked in. The staff were very friendly and prompt. Me and my friend were seated at a grill within minutes and didn't have to wait long. There was a couple that was seated by us and I guess they were offended that we got the seats toward the front of the grill. All I know is they sat down for a couple minutes and then got up told the waiter something and walked off. We didn't see them again. Anyways the chef arrived and prepared our meal. He did an excellent job. My only complaint would be the fried rice could've used a little more seasoning and maybe one more egg. He only used two to prepare it for 4 people as 2 more people were seated with us after that couple left. I tried some of the sushi and egg rolls. My friend tried the calamari. Overall it was pleasant experience and when I find myself in the area I'll gladly return!

    Service: the service was absolutely amazing!! We had a server that was like no other! He was attentive and just all around fantastic. Cups were never empty, dirty dishes were picked up immediately, and his personality was phenomenal. Jack was our server, and Jose was our chef. The chef was fun and professional. The food came out great! Food: we ordered the kracken sushi roll as an appetizer. This was the best roll I think I have ever had! Just everything about it was perfect, the hubby and kiddo loved it too! I thought about taking a picture of it after it was already gone! Sorry! Then we had the soup and salad, which was alright, I didn't love the dressing on the salad, but that was just me. The Teppan was a fantastic show and was cooked properly. We ordered a shrimp, chicken, and steak plate. They were all great, and quality meat was used. Lastly we had the fried ice cream and HOLY COW this was delicious! All three of us were able to share the dessert. We will for sure return, the atmosphere and service was great on its own, but the food was also phenomenal. Overall they made my birthday dinner amazing!! Thank you!!

    Samurai grill and sushi bar is always a fun place to go eat. Our server had us laughing the whole time and the food just comes out absolutely amazing. I ordered the teriyaki chicken and I asked them to make it spicy and it always comes out AMAZING! This is such a fun date idea or even to go with a family for like a birthday it's just so interactive.

    Excellent food and really nice service. We walked in on Valentine's Day with no reservations and they still worked us in! The sushi was excellent! Can't wait to come back and try the teppanyaki.

It is not the biggest restaurant, and is popular, so I would recommend being prepared to wait during "popular busy time" but it is so worth the wait. So I also recommend waiting. The staff is always pretty friendly and accommodating. I shared an app, a roll and an order of salmon sashimi with a friend on both visits. The food is always fresh, and delicious! I never feel like I am being overcharged for what I get either. Going to eat for sushi can feel like that sometimes. The quality of the food is great and everything is always aesthetically pleasing as well. I had their avocado bomb on my last visit and I was delightfully surprised with it. I like avocado in most cases, but sometimes, it can be a lot at one. I thought this was going to be like that when I saw it, but I was wrong. I look forward to getting one of these on my next visit! On my last visit my friend and I saved room for a dessert, one that we saw rotating on their screens that they have in the restaurant showcasing some of the menu items. It was a take on a bananas foster. It looked delicious but alas, we'll see if we can manage to get it next time. Note to self, have dessert first on next visit?

I thought that the menu looked a little expensive, but the portions are huge…read more My friend and I shared the medium Happy Boat, one order of mackerel sashimi (basically a whole side of a fish!), and the banana tempura for dessert, and left extremely full and satisfied. The final price (paying with cash) was $102.32 before the tip, which seems very fair given the size of the portions and the quality. The fish was not the very highest quality, but it was very good. The wasabi was some of (if not) the best that I've ever had. The soy and eel sauces were made in-house, and were excellent. Presumably, the rest of the sauces were house-made as well. Leo was a very good and friendly server. The atmosphere was very relaxed but could be suitable for something fancier. The one thing that hurts is the price; as fair as it is, I do wish that it were a smidgen less.

The two rolls I ordered were better than last time. One was The Green Dragon (i think) using Avacado instead of seaweed. The other was Lobster Dance which is scallops and lobster. The Green dragon was okay. The Lobster Dance would have been a lot better without the overpowering sauce. The nigir were okay, but I prefer my nigiri to not have a lot sauce and all three I ordered were heavily covcered in their cloying (oyster based?) sauce. The Monkey Balls were meh, I've had way better here. The Seaweed Salad was excellent which I think was true last time. I guess I still need to try the in restaurant experience, but based on the food alone I'm not sure it would be great. If anyone has a great place they like let me know!!!

    As someone with celiac, eating sushi can be surprisingly stressful. Soy sauce is in nearly…read moreeverything, menus aren't always clear, and I'm usually stuck asking a ton of questions or avoiding places altogether. That's why Sakura Sushi & Grill stood out right away. They clearly label gluten-free options on the menu. They also offer gluten-free soy sauce, which is a huge win. Even better, they have lunch specials with gluten-free options, which is rare. It's located in Riverside Plaza in Albuquerque, just past the river on the west side. I ordered the Sushi Lunch A with premium fish and chose the double salmon roll. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the portions were great for the price. The miso soup that comes with lunch isn't gluten-free, but they brought me a side salad with an amazing gluten-free dressing instead. I felt confident eating here, which is not something I say often. I didn't have any reaction afterward and would absolutely eat here again. One of the coolest surprises: they make their own wasabi in-house. It's not on the menu, but if you ask, they'll bring it out, and it is absolutely worth it. We considered getting a sushi boat, but the lunch specials were a better value for lunch. If we went for dinner, we would absolutely order a boat. I also had hot sake, which paired perfectly with the meal. At the end, they even brought us a sweet cinnamon tea for my friend's birthday, even though we didn't order dessert. Service was warm and attentive the entire time. My friend has a shellfish allergy, and the server made sure her plate only included fin fish, which we really appreciated. We went around 1:30 p.m. on a Tuesday, and it was quiet with only a few other tables. The atmosphere felt calm and relaxed, with a casual, comfortable vibe that made it easy to sit and actually enjoy a conversation without feeling rushed. They close at 3 and reopen for dinner, so it's a great low-key lunch spot if you time it right. My friend also mentioned she brings her young kids here often, and the woman manager or owner is especially kind and welcoming to them. I enjoyed this place so much that I called my husband on the way home to tell him all about it. We're already planning to go back with our kids, which will make this my second visit in one week. If you're gluten-free, this place is a gem. And even if you're not, the quality, service, and overall experience make it absolutely worth a visit.

"Grilled marinated chicken tossed in a sweet-homemade teriyaki sauce." The menu says nothing about the chicken being coated in a "light batter."

I've seen this item on the Grubhub and restaurant menu before, just didn't order it, and it never said anything about it being battered. So, apparently it's not all that important to change being as the description hasn't changed in all these months. My order was refunded, and I greatly appreciate that, I now need to find something else to eat tonight. Had I been physically able to get in my car, and drive to the restaurant to ask how they prepare their food I would've done that instead of going through a delivery service.

The system is set up pretty easy to understand, I think it was by the amount of pieces on the plate. Overall the sushi options on the conveyor belt were okay, a lot of them had a similar flavor profile. I also ordered a salmon nigiri, but was gravely disappointed. The salmon didn't look that great. I went ahead and had a piece and immediately regretted it. The salmon was stringy and it didn't want break apart. I didn't have another bite or the second piece. The pistachio ice cream was a saving grace and a fortunate way to end our meal.
